Joy of Life: I am a Han Dynasty succubus, and I rebel from the beginning

Chapter 289, Emperor Qing was furious. You instigated the prince to rebel against me! Sometimes you should look for the reasons in yourself.
A fire in the Eastern Palace announced that Li Chengqian would no longer silently endure Emperor Qing's suppression over the years.

It also illuminated the entire Kyoto. The eunuchs, dignitaries, and royal families all quietly closed their doors, waiting for the winner to emerge.

Of course, it would be impossible for the prince to succeed in his rebellion under the pressure from Emperor Qing over the years.

But now in Kyoto, there is also the Grand Commander Anton.

On the outskirts of Kyoto, the garrison division and the governor's guard were gathered together and all were under the command of Huang Xuan.

Old Master Qin and the eldest prince Li Chengru looked extremely unhappy. The only way they could go to rescue the palace was blocked.

The great fire in Kyoto.

This forced Emperor Qing to shift his focus from handling household affairs to handling state affairs.

In the Second Prince's residence, Li Chengze was lying carelessly on the rocking chair.

Li Chengze was quite panicked when he heard the news that the eldest princess and the crown prince were having an incestuous affair.

Almost all of his forces were related to the eldest princess. He originally thought that the eldest princess would support him, but in the end, she still supported the prince.

However, Zhang Liang's arrival made Li Chengze feel calm.

It seems that I am still useful, otherwise the Grand Commander's confidant would not have visited me so late at night.

"I remember you, your name is Zhang Liang, right? You are known as the Grand Commander's number one strategist. What do you want from me tonight?"

Li Chengze casually grabbed a handful of grapes and started eating them.

The only two remaining generals, Fan Wujiu and Xie Bian, stood guard beside him, gently holding down their swords.

Now that the prince is rebelling, there is no need for them to get involved. They can just sit back and reap the benefits.

Zhang Liang remained humble and modest as ever, bowing slightly.

"Your Highness, on behalf of the Grand Commander, I advise you to send out your private army to help the Crown Prince start a rebellion!"

Li Chengze raised his eyebrows, this is quite interesting.

Everyone knows that he and Li Chengqian are incompatible, and there can only be one winner.

Now Zhang Liang is advising him to send out his private soldiers. Isn't this digging a hole for himself in advance?
"Your Highness, do you think that even if the Crown Prince is deposed, you can still become the heir? Doesn't His Majesty know how he has treated you over the years?"

"For the sake of your own posthumous reputation, or to be buried in the imperial mausoleum of successive monarchs of Qing, Your Majesty would not hesitate to let the Fourth Prince succeed to the throne."

Zhang Liang patiently persuaded the students and presented facts and reasoned with them.

The second prince fell into silence, and it seemed to be true.

Xie Bian snorted coldly.

"What a joke! If the crown prince succeeds to the throne, Your Highness will be able to live a peaceful life?"

They, Li Chengze's trusted subordinates, all knew that Li Chengze had no ambition to compete for the throne at the beginning.

However, as his talents became apparent, Emperor Qing slowly forced Li Chengze to fight for the throne.

"The prince will fail, but he will be blessed by the Grand Commander of An Dong and return to Danzhou safely, and then live the rest of his life in peace."

Zhang Liang laughed.

If Li Chengqian had been a little more ruthless, he might have been able to secure his position as crown prince.

It’s a pity that he chose a dead end for himself.

"How many private troops did the Grand Commander leave for Li Chengqian?"

Li Chengze pondered for a while and spoke softly.

Zhang Liang was slightly stunned, but quickly described the prince's power in detail.

"Five thousand troops, combined with the soldiers in the city, can make nearly ten thousand!"

Li Chengze wore shoes for the first time in a rare occasion. Feeling the restraint on the soles of his feet, he fell into reminiscence.

Ten thousand people is not too many, but not too few either.

At the very least, he, the second prince, and the fourth prince Li Chenglong will definitely not be able to escape.

The reason why he can live so safely in the palace now is that his younger brother still cares about their brotherly love.

"In that case, since Cheng Qian is interested, I will also lend a hand! Xie Bian, hand over my two private troops near Kyoto to Zhang Liang."

Li Chengze waved his hand, looking a little tired.

Even if they fight to the death on normal days, but at this critical moment.

The two brothers still care about their brotherhood, just as Liu Hong once commented.

Emperor Qing's princes are actually all very good people.

It's a pity that Emperor Qing is too cruel. He wants the prince to be capable, but he doesn't want the prince to be too capable and surpass himself. Zhang Liang bowed deeply.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Fan Wujiu opened his mouth but didn't say much. He took the military order from Li Chengze and accompanied Zhang Liang to mobilize the troops.

Perhaps the night in Kyoto tonight is particularly long.

Chen Pingping in the Supervisory Commission looked at the endless stream of information coming in.

Looking at Liu Hong's generous gesture, I sighed from the bottom of my heart.

"It's true that the waves behind push the waves ahead! Although Your Majesty and I have also made plans for the world, we have always been a little petty and lacked a sense of grandeur."

Yan Ruohai drank the rice porridge silently.

In the past few years, Qing Kingdom has changed too fast, with policies changing every day and the political situation being like a bubble illusion.

It's completely unclear and hard to understand.

Except for a few evergreen trees standing at the top of Qing Kingdom, other officials have been replaced one after another.

Chen Pingping saw what Yan Ruohai was thinking, but he was not in a hurry and just smiled.

"Don't be in a hurry to stand in line, just wait and see."

Yan Ruohai's expression relaxed and he nodded.

This is an era of ups and downs. Even the noble families who are usually high and mighty, with their noble bloodlines, may die at the hands of the untouchables at this moment.

Few officials now mention the slogan of unifying the country for the sake of Daqing.

Most people want to protect their own safety so that their family can continue.

Chen Pingping listened quietly to the sounds of fighting in the palace, as if it were a very beautiful piece of music.

The game between Emperor Qing and Liu Hong was still going on in the imperial study, with the chessboard full of black and white chess pieces.

It’s a pity that the black pieces’ living space is subject to countless constraints, and they are almost wiped out by Emperor Qing’s white pieces.

After all, Liu Hong has never been exposed to Go, so it is already very good that he can play it for such a long time.

Emperor Qing's eyes lit up, he suddenly pressed his fingers on the chessboard and laughed.

"Liu Hong, it looks like you're going to lose."

"I don't think so. Sometimes victory doesn't necessarily lie on the chessboard."

Liu Hong pushed hard, messing up all the chess pieces on the board.

Emperor Qing put away the smile on his face before he could say anything.

Hong Zhu ran into the imperial study in a panic, and the clothes of the East Factory Director were covered with mud.

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened. The Crown Prince has rebelled!"

Emperor Qing's pupils shrank rapidly. He stood up suddenly, grabbed Hong Zhu by the collar, and spoke viciously.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! With his cowardly nature, how dare he rebel against me?"

It would be fine if Liu Hong just wanted to rebel.

After all, he was a countryman who refused to submit to the king's rule, and he had also been involved in the life of a pirate and gangster, so he was only afraid that the world would not be in chaos.

Years of military career have made Liu Hong's desire for power expand rapidly.

But what right does Li Chengqian have? He has always been spoiled and likes ostentation.

Emperor Qing even doubted whether his son could pick up a sword.

Hong Zhu knelt on the ground, lowered his eyes, and did not dare to speak.

Emperor Qing came to his senses and looked at Liu Hong lying on the couch with a gloomy face.

"It's you! You have been trying to sow discord between the Crown Prince and me. Do you really think that I won't dare to kill you just by relying on those things?"

When Liu Hong heard Emperor Qing put all the blame on himself, he just wanted to laugh.

"Don't you have any idea how you treated your son over the years?"

"Sometimes, look for the reasons in yourself instead of putting all the blame on me. I'm not the scapegoat."

Emperor Qing grabbed the bow and arrow, his face was grim and mixed with countless cruelty.

The metal arrow was pointed at Liu Hong, flashing with cold light, as if Emperor Qing could no longer wait at this moment.

Liu Hong looked calm and was not frightened at all. He lay on the couch with his eyes closed, resting.
