Chapter 543

Take a deep breath.

The young man was about to continue talking, but was stopped by a middle-aged man next to him.

Qilang said:

"Master Ban Xian, the second prince is not the designated successor of the previous emperor, and may even have participated in the assassination plot against the sixth prince. Therefore, the throne of the emperor is in doubt."

"..."

Like the young man, this man is the representative of the feudal king.

As soon as this statement came out.

Accompany a lot.

The sixth prince was appointed by the late emperor, but he was hacked to death that day. Although the murderer, the eighth prince, also went to heaven on the spot, there was a strange aura about this incident as a whole.

There is no hard evidence.

But the second prince couldn't clean it up either.

Who told him to hide so deeply.

If it wasn't for an 'accident', none of the princes knew that the second prince was also interested in the throne.

According to general logic, whoever is interested is suspicious.

now.

The fourth prince knelt down first.

The fifth prince was driven to the east.

The third prince also committed suicide at home.

nature.

As the final victor, the second prince became the biggest object of suspicion. How could a person who killed the prince and his brother be the Emperor of Dayan?

After catching this, everyone output like crazy.

. . .

After a while, seeing Ban Xian's thoughtful appearance, everyone stopped and looked at Ban Xian one by one, expecting him to make a 'correct' decision.

"Um!"

"Everyone is right."

"but."

"Excuse me!"

Ban Xian's eyes gradually became sharper.

"Whether there is a direct relationship between the assassination of the second prince and the sixth prince has nothing to do with Nanqing. I only know that the second prince has been recognized by the royal family."

"And also mastered the forbidden army and the guard army."

"therefore."

"Procedurally, it's completely legal."

"It's impossible for me to tear up the agreement based on your empty words. I suggest you go back and discuss it carefully, and come back after solving your respective problems."

"see a visitor out!"

In this way, a group of messengers were sent out.

Outside the Government Council.

Sunlight is a bit toxic.

But the hearts of the representatives of the vassal kings were cold.

This is too bad. I heard that Baicheng and Qianzhai had been persuading them for a long time, and they almost persuaded them. I thought there was hope, but the second prince ascended the throne and directly broke the balance.

It is equivalent to saying that it was completely useless to talk for so long before.

at this time.

The people in Baicheng and Qianzhai are also big heads.

Such changes complicate the situation.

Now that it has developed, Baicheng and Qianzhai have to consider standing in line.

On one side is the new Dae-yeon monarch.

One side is the powerful vassal kings. No, strength is relative. Nan Qing's intervention made the vassal kings who had almost an absolute advantage fall into the second echelon.

One second he was still showing off his might, but the next second he was defeated by Nan Qing.

Now they are collectively depressed, cursing Nanqing up and down in circles.

But such a matter cannot be decided by the people present.

"What should we do now?"

"Go back and wait for the news."

"..."

Seeing the people from Baicheng and Qianzhai leave, the representatives of the feudal lords looked helpless for a while, and God knows how far the Nanqing army will advance if they wait any longer.

The biggest expectation of the vassal kings now is that the Nanqing Army will stop.

Unfortunately, there is no reason for him to stop.

Unless the second prince speaks.

then.

Immediately edit a letter, let the vassal kings, regardless of the cost, either let the second prince cooperate to persuade Nan Qing to retreat, or directly kill the second prince, time is fast.

After sending the letter.

well!

He let out a long sigh, and then hated it for not fighting.

Why are the teammates in the back so hot, and didn't win the second prince before he ascended the throne, otherwise, today's negotiation will be another situation.

. . .

Dayan Empire.

imperial capital.

At this moment, the Second Prince no longer had the joy of being enthroned a few days ago, but had a sad expression on his face, because the mess in front of him was really too bad.

In the imperial capital, people's livelihood is in decline.

Outside the imperial capital, there is an army of more than one million vassal kings.

Outside the vassal king, there is a semi-encircled area of ​​Nanqing that is getting smaller and smaller.

Too fast!

In the past ten days, under pressure from three directions, the vassal kings were driven to the state capital not far from the emperor like a flock of sheep, and they were building a strong line of defense.

It can be said that if the princes are willing.

three days.

In just three days, the vassals can gather more than three million troops to the imperial capital.

However, due to the need to resist the Nanqing army, there are only more than one million people around the imperial capital. Even so, it is very scary. The key is to cut off the transportation line.

He also has an army of more than one million, but he spent a lot of time fighting with the prince before.

Now due to hostility, many surrounding roads are blocked by vassals, and supplies are gradually running short.

In the city.

outside the city.

Even the entire Dayan Empire is a mess.

"Your Majesty, there is not much food left."

"..."

"Your Majesty, the armor is seriously depleted and needs to be..."

"..."

"Your Majesty, another batch of grain and grass lines were intercepted this morning."

"..."

"Your Majesty, the Nanqing army has conquered eight more cities and countless counties and towns."

"..."

Sitting on the throne, looking at the court team formed below, and listening to a series of bad news, he can no longer feel the joy of being the king of a country.

worry!

If you don't want to find a way to solve it, you are definitely a famous short-lived emperor in history.

"Did Nanqing reply?"

"No!"

"..."

The vassal kings must have thought that they should be very happy because the Nanqing army had won a great victory, but only he himself knew that it had nothing to do with him at all.

It would be great to really cooperate, but there is no such thing at all, but it can't be clarified, and I am so angry that Nan Qing is using his banner, but he is unwilling to contact.

There are Nanqing envoys in the city.

But it's just a megaphone, not very useful.

It takes ten or eight days for a message to go back and forth, so urgent!

"Your Majesty, at this rate, the Nanqing army will soon come into contact with the defense line of the combined army of the vassal kings. Presumably, it can relieve the pressure on the imperial capital."

"It can only be this way."

The second prince on the throne rubbed his head, this was the only piece of good news.

Although the speed of Nanqing's army is slow, they are advancing every day after all. As long as they don't stop, contact will come sooner or later.

If there is a war.

The decline of the vassal king will inevitably withdraw part of the army that besieged the imperial capital.

If the vassal king wins and pursues the victory, he may transfer some to leave.

Of course, when he was happy, he couldn't help but smile wryly in his heart. For some things, the worst situation must be considered after all, such as the feudal lord who wanted to kill him first regardless of the cost.

That's another mess.

. . .

Three days later, new news came.

The offensive and defensive battle between the Nanqing army and the vassal king's army... didn't start.

"What?"

"Going north on the east and west lines?"

"this......"

The second prince was taken aback.

Looking at the map, the forces of the four directions are distributed in X, and Dayan is in the east. Although it was said that Nanqing was calling from the west, it is more accurate to say that it is from the southwest.

To the west of Dayan is Yuancheng, and in the northwest there is a long border with Qianzhai.

It is equivalent to saying that the siege of Nanqing, before that, was only the expulsion of the southern part of Dayan and the vassals, and it was mainly the vassals in the southern part of Dayan.

But now, the troops on the east and west lines are heading north, with obvious intentions.

--- Pack a bigger circle!

furious!

It's too rampant, the key is to use your own banner and wear a legal cloak.

No!

If this continues, the consequences will be too serious and must be stopped.

"Your Majesty, the Nanqing envoy has arrived!"
