"These three sins of harming the country and the people, and those who harm loyalty and good people!"

The people on the court were so arrogant that they dared not speak out, and everyone maintained a tacit understanding and did not speak. Xiangcheng looked at Mr. Zhou coldly and said contemptuously: "Mr. Zhou, I think you are old and forgetful, and you don't remember your current identity!"

Xiangcheng was probably talking about Mr. Zhou's resignation before the New Year. Chen Yuan remembers that Mr. Zhou no longer serves as the left prime minister. Logically, he can only be regarded as a veteran of the three dynasties, and he has no say in this situation.

"It doesn't matter whether the old minister remembers his identity. He is just an old man. It's not a pity to die for the court. But the princess shouldn't forget what his identity is! The princess is just a woman and shouldn't interfere too much in the court's government affairs. Even though the late emperor is not from the orthodox royal bloodline, since he has ascended the throne and become emperor, he is the true emperor and cannot be argued with. You and others are trying to abusive power and interfere in politics, form party for personal gain, and impose excessive taxes, causing the subjects of various countries to suffer. Now I have no successor in Yu Jing, and cannot resist powerful enemies outside and quell public anger inside! How can you be the only little girl above the imperial power and be disrespectful?" Mr. Zhou was heartbroken and angrily scolded Xiangcheng's domineering power and angrily denounce the incompetence of the court.

Xiangcheng was furious and waved his hand to ask the guards to take Mr. Zhou down. Someone rushed in from outside the field, surrounding the place. "What are you doing in a stand-alone manner! Why don't you take down this crazy old man!"

"No need!" Old Zhou sighed to the sky and said a few words repeatedly, which was a pity. His tragic look was moving. He could only hear his words. Before everyone could react, he saw him take out a short dagger from his sleeve and stab him in his heart.

Chen Yuan was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to support him. Unfortunately, it was too late. When Mr. Zhou was dying, he looked at the sky empty and muttered something in his mouth. Chen Yuan couldn't tell the difference, probably saying that the prosperity of the emperor had been exhausted and he was powerless to be ashamed of his ancestors or something.

Maybe Mr. Zhou had already been prepared to die, so when Chen Yuan looked at his expression before, he felt that he was a little unusual. It was a pity that such a loyal minister was such a loyal minister.

Everyone changed their faces when they saw this scene, and some old ministers also started to riot. Perhaps it was because of the death of Mr. Zhou that stimulated them, or perhaps because they relied on their identity as elders, they began to accuse Xiangcheng, and some other young men or disciples of the elders began to resist the soldiers surrounding them. The scene was once stalemate.

Some people who supported Xiangcheng accused Liu Zhang of not being able to be called emperor without a jade seal, and some people who supported orthodox threatened that the princess was a rebellion.

At this moment, Dongding Hou led his men to support the Queen Mother here. No one dared to move around, but he did not stop the stalemate.

"Stop it all for the Ai family!" The empress dowager looked at the people on the court with a grim expression, "The Ai family knows what you are thinking one by one. Zhang'er, come here."

"Liu Zhang is the most suitable person for the emperor for his grandson, so the Ai family discussed with the Marquis of Dongding at that time and ordered him to rush back to Lindong with a quick horse. At this special period, Zhang'er became the emperor to follow the destiny!"

Seeing that the Empress Dowager said this, those who had previously defended the princess seemed to retreat a little. They thought that the princess was so powerful that they would be able to monopolize the power, and they would naturally get benefits when they supported the princess. But now, the Empress Dowager did not seem to favor the princess, and the princess had already escaped in the market with guilt. Now it seems that she would be even more guilty.

"But," just as everyone was about to turn against Xiangcheng, the empress dowager spoke again, "What Xiangcheng said is not without reason. Since ancient times, the emperor ascended the throne and did not have a jade seal, it would be unrighteous. Even the Ai family cannot change the ancestral system at will, otherwise wouldn't it cause trouble for the future? Therefore, the Marquis of Dongding urgently asked to see the Ai family and discussed with the Ai family, and decided to have a way of having the best of both worlds."

Chen Yuan sneered. She guessed that this farce should be a conspiracy between the Queen Mother and Xiangcheng. The Queen Mother first arranged for Xiangcheng to escape, so that the people would quit their guards. She felt that the Queen Mother was not seeking power and good governance, but was genuine fairness and selflessness, which made the people support the Queen Mother more. Then she asked Liu Zhang to return to Lindong by the imperial edict and told the world that Liu Zhang would be the emperor. This was done entirely to calm the people so that they could feel that the court was still worth relying on, not the misuse and incompetent descendants they imagined.

After Wu Ren. The Empress Dowager knew that Liu Zhang could not ascend the throne without a jade seal, but she deliberately arranged the throne ceremony in front of the ancestral hall and let Xiangcheng suddenly appear at this moment, disrupting the throne ceremony and catching the people on the court off guard. When everyone was in a stalemate, the Empress Dowager appeared with the Dongding Hou, and the two most prestigious and status people came to shock everyone. Then, the next thing must be to start seizing power. Chen Yuan thought, all these arrangements were probably not what the Empress Dowager thought of, but Xiangcheng.

"Zhang'er still ascended the throne and became emperor, but before the jade seal was retrieved, Ai's family ruled the government behind the curtain, the princess and the Marquis of Dongding assisted the government together, discussing the country's affairs. After the jade seal is retrieved, the emperor will take charge of the rule. What do the ministers think?"

Sure enough, they wanted Liu Zhang to be a puppet emperor, and all the power was still controlled by the Empress Dowager headed by Xiangcheng... Who dares to question such statements?

Liu Zhang had no objection, and he still looked like he was smiling, as if he was not worried about this matter at all. Chen Yuan knew that he was a self-protectionist. Only by showing mediocrity and incompetent behavior would he let Princess Xiangcheng lower her vigilance. In fact, Liu Zhang was the smartest person, who knew how to endure and be content in this chaotic world and was content with satisfaction.

Since Liu Zhang did not object, the people below will naturally not insist. Although the loyal and kind clan was angry, they could do nothing, and they only felt sorry for Mr. Zhou who was betrayed. The flattering ministers got this result, of course they cheered, and only the princess and the queen mother followed him.

Although Chen Yuan had long expected that Liu Zhang would not be smooth as a result of her selfish desires, the capture of power by Princess Xiangcheng was indeed more wonderful than Liu Zhang ascended the throne. Because if Liu Zhang inherited the throne at this time and had great power in his hands, she would inevitably have more difficulties and obstacles to overthrow the Liu family. However, if she was in the name of conquering Xiangcheng, she would have more people's hearts and would be more convenient to act at that time.

So in the face of such a result, everyone accepted it with no objection. However, Chen Yuan was still a little confused. The turbulent situation that the young master spared no effort to exchange for his life, Xiangcheng could actually resolve it safely and reach the peak of power again. So what would Gu Chenyuan compete with this prince? Relying on Qi Yan and His Highness Qi's army can really achieve the unification of the four countries and the stability of the world?

Chen Yuan suddenly felt that she did not have the ability to change the situation. She thought that her vision was too narrow. At first, she just wanted to avenge his grandfather and innocent victims, so she had to overthrow Yu Jing's tyranny. Then she was displaced and saw the impermanence of the world, so she wanted to protect the people of the world. Compared to the princess of Xiangcheng, Chen Yuan knew that she started in politics too late. She could not hold the power as much as Xiangcheng, and easily control the life and death of others. She could not plan like the young master and win a thousand miles away. What should she do?

Chen Yuan knew that although Yu Jing was in danger at this moment, since Xiangcheng dared to return to the government and the country, he must have been well prepared. If so, what would Xiangcheng's plan be? Qi Yan's army can be said to be at the city. Is Xiangcheng still sure to turn the world at this critical moment?

Just as Chen Yuan was immersed in his thoughts, Xiangcheng suddenly ordered Chen Yuan to be taken down. Seeing this, Liu Zhang hurriedly stepped forward to plead for her, "Grandpa, she is just a weak woman with no power to tie a chicken..."

"Your Majesty, we must put the overall situation first. Now Qi Yan's army is stationed outside the city and stare at her..." Xiangcheng stared at Chen Yuan, like a falcon locking its prey, with a little playful look in his eyes, a little confident, "It is our most important bargaining chip to resist Qi Yan."

Chen Yuan couldn't help but smile when she heard this. Now she was much more calm. "I'm not afraid of trying to catch me or kill me, but the princess said I was a bargaining chip, but she was raising Chen Yuan high." After a pause, she looked at the various gazes projected by the people around her and continued: "I'm just an insignificant little girl. Why did Qi Yan give up this great situation for my life? If it were a princess, you wouldn't care about someone like me!"

"Do you really think that the army of Qi Yan, Qi, was due to their strong soldiers and horses invading outside of the capital of Yujing City? If someone hadn't helped secretly, it would be difficult for him, even if he had ten, he would have been invasive to attack! Yes, you are insignificant to Qi Yan, but," Xiangcheng walked down the high steps, walked step by step to Chen Yuan, and looked at her with a condescending aura, and felt a little disappointed in his tone, "There is someone he will care."

Chen Yuan looked at Xiangcheng in confusion, and she didn't fail to guess who Xiangcheng was talking about.
