Martial Arts Crossover: Starting as a member of the Imperial Guard, all the ladies are demons

And so, both sides fell silent.

The vast hall was completely silent; you could hear a pin drop.

"hehe....".

Finally, Emperor Liang broke the silence, and he chuckled softly, "Indeed, if you had let Mao Xiang take action, I would be dead by now."

But you didn't...

As he spoke, Emperor Liang looked at Xiao Jingyi meaningfully: "So you want to use the same methods you used on the Crown Prince and Prince Yu to get me removed as well?"

"Perhaps no other method is peaceful enough."

Xiao Jingyi pondered for a moment.

Emperor Liang nodded in agreement: "Indeed... it's not a good thing to talk about when people say that it's like fighting among brothers."

"So, can I assume that you've come to declare war?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingyi chuckled lightly: "I just want Father to recognize a reality: the era of Great Liang that belonged to you is coming to an end."

"Click-click-click!"

Upon hearing Xiao Jingyi's words, Emperor Liang gripped the dragon throne so tightly that the veins bulged out.

However, he couldn't do anything about it, because he knew that Xiao Jingyi's blatant appearance here today meant he had enough leverage to ensure his safety.

So he rubbed his temples and looked at Xiao Jingyi: "Alright, I understand. Is there anything else you want to say?"

"That's all, then I'll take my leave."

Seeing this, Xiao Jingyi was about to step back, but Emperor Liang stopped him: "Wait!"

"Does Father have any further instructions?"

"Let me ask you, how many people do you have in the court today?"

“They are not my people, but ministers of the Great Liang.”

After saying that, Xiao Jingyi left with Mao Xiang.

Only Emperor Liang remained sitting there, watching his retreating figure, his expression filled with struggle, powerlessness, and helplessness.

Because he knew that Xiao Jingyi had become a powerful figure, and if he ordered him to be kept there, then what awaited him was a bloodbath in the palace.

It wasn't until long after Xiao Jingyi left that he finally let out a long sigh: "Jingyi, what a clever tactic."

"Your Majesty, please do not be angry. Your health is of utmost importance."

At this moment, Gao Zhan stepped forward to comfort him.

Upon hearing his words, Emperor Liang shook his head: "I am angry, but I admire him more. If I were to put myself in his shoes, I would never be able to do what Jing Yi did."

"And his coming to confront me today is also a reminder that he wants a peaceful transition of the throne..."

"It seems this kid has big plans, but I wonder how he intends to do them."

A hint of appreciation flashed in Emperor Liang's eyes. After all, if he were in Emperor Liang's shoes, he would have already ordered the killings in the main hall if he had a subordinate like Xiao Jingyi.

Why didn't it move?

What else could it be?

That was to express the hope for a peaceful transition of power.

This shows that Xiao Jingyi was acting from the perspective of the Great Liang Kingdom and did not allow personal desires to take control.

However, while seizing the throne by force may seem simple and brutal, it actually leaves behind many hidden dangers.

Former officials of the emperor, foreign enemies, local officials with ulterior motives, and a host of powerful families who are trying to ostracize him.

These are all consequences of seizing the throne by force.

For example, Emperor Yongle, Zhu Di, rebelled against his nephew and seized the throne, but he also faced considerable problems.

The three most difficult challenges are the chaotic economic, military, and administrative situations.

To address these issues, Zhu Di employed four key strategies for establishing the Yongle Emperor: upholding the legitimacy of the Yongle Emperor, supporting a new military aristocracy, establishing a cabinet system to differentiate the civil service, and using the secret police and imperial guards to check and balance the civil service.

Only then was the Ming Dynasty able to achieve stability.

For example, in history, after Li Shimin seized power, the Tang Dynasty was in dire need of reconstruction, but it encountered border disputes and foreign invasions, and signed the Treaty of Wei River.

These are all vivid examples.

Xiao Jingyi thought the same way. He didn't want to use force, and he didn't want the Great Liang to have to deal with a huge mess in his hands.

He needs a complete and stable government; he needs to quickly pacify the surrounding countries to strengthen himself and improve the system's functionality.

So they went to find Emperor Liang first and explained the situation to him.

Of course, even if Xiao Jingyi had explained, Emperor Liang would still have insisted on going his own way.

He won't hold back then.

"In terms of controlling his own desires, I would rate him as... qualified."

Emperor Liang nodded slightly, but his face quickly darkened as he said, "But my position is not something you can take away just because you want it. Use whatever tricks you have up your sleeve."

This also indicates that Emperor Liang intends to have a confrontation with Xiao Jingyi, but not a physical one.

On the other side, Xiao Jingyi walked out of the palace. He turned his head and glanced around before saying in a deep voice, "Mao Xiang, keep a close eye on anyone in the palace, and at the same time, send all the Embroidered Uniform Guards to monitor the entire city."

Although he was confident that Emperor Liang would not send troops, he could not be too careful and surveillance was never a bad thing.

"Yes, I understand."

Mao Xiang respectfully accepted the order upon hearing this.

The two then walked down the long staircase and immediately saw Prince Jing and the others who were still waiting.

"Jingyi, I'm so glad you're alright."

"Jingyi, did Father Emperor make things difficult for you?"

Upon seeing Xiao Jingyi emerge, Nihuang and the others surrounded him, asking him with concern.

Upon hearing their questions, Xiao Jingyi spread his hands and said, "It's perfectly fine. Why are you so worried about me? His Majesty is very easy to talk to."

Is he easy to talk to?

Perhaps you have some misunderstanding about His Majesty?

For a moment, everyone was speechless.

Seeing the awkward silence, Xiao Jingyi immediately said, "Hehe, what are you all standing here for? Let's go, let's leave the palace and go to my residence. I'll treat you to drinks!"

When they heard that Xiao Jingyi was going to treat everyone to drinks, everyone readily agreed.

This drinking session lasted until evening.

Xiao Jinghuan was also summoned, but compared to Xiao Jingyi, he was someone the Emperor of Liang could easily manipulate, and was eventually demoted to a commoner.

night.

Nihuang blushed as she looked at Xiao Jingyi in front of her, her eyes filled with shyness.

"Jing Yi..."

"Nihuang, from this day forward, you will be my woman."

Looking at Nihuang, Xiao Jingyi touched her face and said.

"Yes, I belong to you in this life, no, in the next life, and the life after that, I belong to you too!"

Upon hearing this, Nihuang blushed and threw herself into Xiao Jingyi's arms.

"hehe."

Seeing this, Xiao Jingyi casually put his arm around Nihuang's waist, lifted her chin, and said softly, "Nihuang, you look beautiful tonight."

Princess Nihuang did not refute this, but said softly, "Please cherish me, my husband."

Tonight is destined to be anything but peaceful, with gunfire raging everywhere.

.....

And so, without many people knowing, the thrilling day came to an end.

In the following days, the panic caused by Prince Yu's scheme gradually subsided, and the people slowly immersed themselves in the atmosphere of the upcoming festival.

Little did they know, Xiao Jingyi's next move was drawing ever closer.

Little did Xiao Jingyi know that his women were starting to cause trouble again.

"Ugh...."

Inside the Prince Yi's residence, Xiao Jingyi's women were seen sitting around a round table.

At that moment, someone sighed, breaking the silence among the women.

Yan Fei then spoke up: "Alright, everyone, let's welcome our new sister, Princess Nihuang! Let's give her a round of applause!"

"Clap clap clap!"

Upon hearing her words, both Yaoyue and Wanwan raised their hands and clapped.

"Thank you, sisters, thank you."

Originally, Nihuang thought that she would be rejected by the women when she arrived at the palace, but she didn't expect everyone to be so kind and even applauded to welcome her.

This made her feel flattered.

Seeing this, Wanwan patted Nihuang: "Oh, Nihuang, don't be so reserved. We're all easy to talk to. After all, we'll be sisters in the future."

"And they all have the same man in them, right?"

As she spoke, Wanwan raised her eyebrows and sized up Nihuang.

"Sister Wanwan, I...you...."

Princess Nihuang had never heard such bold words before, and she was drenched in sweat.

"Sister Nihuang, don't mind this nonsense. Just remember, we are a community with a shared future, and we should unite against external threats."

At this moment, Yan Fei spoke up, interrupting Wanwan's continued antics.

"Well, I see."

"Good that you understand. By the way, this is a rule that my sisters and I made together. Take a good look at it..."

Yanfei took out a small booklet and handed it to Nihuang.

The latter was taken aback, but still took it to his face to examine it.

He was stunned the moment he saw it.

"The rules of the Prince's Palace?"

Nihuang turned to the first page with some confusion.

"My husband's demands are my pursuits, his encouragement is my motivation, his thoughts are my actions, his expressions are my feelings, his hobbies are my interests, and his lovers are my sisters."

???

"puff!"

Upon seeing this content, Nihuang couldn't hold back and immediately burst out laughing.

However, none of the women were surprised to see her like this.

Yaoyue then spoke up: "Sister Nihuang, to be honest, what do you think?"

"how?"

Upon hearing this, Nihuang pursed her lips and cautiously glanced at everyone: "Sisters, do you really want to say it?"

"Speak up, tell the truth, we want to hear the truth."

"Alright, then I'll have to offend you, little sister. I don't think it's a good idea, and... it's utter nonsense."

Nihuang voiced her thoughts, then realized she had let something slip and quickly covered her mouth, apologizing profusely, "Sisters, I..."

"Great, great! I love your honesty, Princess!"

"Yes, when I first saw it, I also thought it was utter nonsense!"

“Sister Nihuang, I’ve seen it in your eyes, you are our sister.”
