Empress, you don't want to be thrown into limbo by your father, do you?

In the Dagan Dynasty, there were a total of twelve Jiedu envoys.

Everyone is a big official of the border, even more powerful than the big official of the border!
If you look at the Shannan Jiedu Envoy, you can see one or two things. There are soldiers, money and food, except that they cannot be called kings. What is the difference between them and the princes?
Of course, there are also differences between Jiedushi and Jiedushi. For example, Shannan Jiedushi has strong soldiers and horses. It is obvious that they can only have [-] soldiers and horses, but in fact they already have more than [-] soldiers!
However, even if other Jiedu envoys were not as bold as Guo Peng and dared to support so many soldiers behind the back of the court, there would still be at least [-] to [-] troops.

Now that the three Jiedu envoys have raised their troops and rebelled under the slogan of King Qin, no matter how stupid Li Cheng is, it is impossible for Li Cheng to stay in the palace drunk and dream of death.

"Duke Zhen, is there such a thing?!"

Facing the emperor's inquiry, Guo Peng didn't take it seriously at all. Hearing this, he laughed and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry too much, it's just a bunch of young people, nothing to worry about!"

"Why did Lord Zhen make such a statement? Jiannan, Hexi, and Anxi's three Jiedu envoys raised their troops at the same time. They have more than 10 soldiers and horses in their hands. Why don't you make me worry?"

"With the minister here, His Majesty can sit back and relax!"

Guo Peng was already five or six points drunk, and now he can be said to have the power to control the entire court, and even Li Cheng, as the emperor and son of heaven, had to go through his consent for everything.

It can be said that the narrow emperor used to order the princes, and he was truly under one person and above ten thousand people.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the soldiers of Zhen Guo are strong and strong, so why worry about those rebellious officials and thieves!"

"A group of jumping clowns, your majesty, don't look at their great momentum now, but they are all short-lived. As long as your majesty makes an imperial decree, you can call on other Jiedu envoys to send troops to wipe them out!"

A group of grasshoppers also started to stand in line to support Guo Peng.

However, Li Cheng's complexion did not improve at all. Hearing the words, he was dubious, so he asked one more question, "In this case, is Lord Zhen Guo willing to send troops to suppress the rebellion?"

"Your Majesty thinks highly of those idiots, so why should I do it myself? As long as Your Majesty grants the rewards promised to me, any of the generals around me who have been with me for many years can remove all obstacles for Your Majesty!"

Is Guo Peng drunk?
of course not!

He is just using the excuse of drunkenness and rebellion to bring up the old story again!
"Duke Zhen!"

Finally someone groaned angrily, and at the moment, among the people in the imperial palace, only one person dared to scold in person, "You are a subject of His Majesty, and it is your duty to send troops to suppress the rebellion for His Majesty, how can you ask His Majesty to reward you with this?!"

Everyone didn't speak, and felt that the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Even the maids and dancers were trembling with fear.

Guo Peng couldn't stop laughing when he heard the words, but there was seven points of arrogance and three points of contempt in that laughter.

"why are you laughing?"

Qi Guogong's face was ashen. Speaking of it, Qi Guogong and Guo Peng were considered relatives by marriage. When Guo Peng was able to replace the Huo family as the Shannan Jiedu envoy, it was also promoted by the old Qi Guogong.

"Duke Qi's words are wrong. His Majesty has just ascended the throne. Naturally, he needs ministers to guard the capital to escort His Majesty. However, a few idiots in the district don't need ministers to take action at all. Since Qi Guogong shares His Majesty's worries, why don't you invite the battle in person?"

As soon as this remark came out, Qi Guogong's face became even more ugly.

"That's right, the Duke of Qi is the most suitable candidate for commanding one hundred thousand forbidden troops and being a descendant of a famous family!"

"My minister agrees!"

Immediately, a group of people spoke in agreement.

Anyone with a discerning eye can now see that Li Cheng had just ascended the throne, but his power has fallen by the wayside.

Except for Duke Qi, almost all the political power fell into the hands of Guo Peng. Compared to Guo Peng, Duke Qi was nothing more than an idiot even though he came from a famous family and was in charge of [-] forbidden troops.

Let him compete with Guo Peng?
Give me a break!

As for leading troops to fight against the rebellion?

It's even more nonsense!

"you!"

Qi Guogong himself doesn't know how many catties he has?
And if he leaves the capital, then the capital will really become Guo Peng's world alone, and naturally he will not accept it, "Your Majesty, the forbidden army exists to defend the capital, and must not be easily dispatched!"

For a while, the two sides were deadlocked.

Li Cheng is not a wise king but he also knows that the rebellion cannot be allowed to go unchecked, but Guo Peng made it clear that unless he followed his will, he would rather stand by and watch.

And how can we follow his will?

That is the imperial concubine!
Send the noble concubine to Guo Peng in person, this is the condition!

but!

Li Cheng was unwilling to agree, he was still salivating, how could he give it away?

In the end, they broke up again.

Since this period of time, Guo Peng has mentioned this matter from time to time, and his attitude has become more and more tough!
Even as an emperor, if he wanted to leave the palace, he would be stopped, as if he had been controlled.

If it wasn't for the fact that Duke Qi was in charge in the court, and the palace was protected by masters of the Demon Sect, Li Cheng even wondered if he would become the queen of his father and become the soul of Guo Peng's sword.

……

"Bastard!"

The imperial palace was in a mess, only Li Cheng and Qi Guogong were left at this moment.

"Your Majesty, rest your anger."

"Uncle, I've had enough! This Guo Peng simply doesn't take me seriously!"

He smashed everything around him, Li Cheng never thought that he would be so aggrieved after becoming the emperor!
Qi Guogong stood beside him and looked at the mess on the ground, and finally he frowned and tried to persuade him, "Why does your majesty have to fall out with Guo Peng for a woman?"

"I am the Son of Heaven!"

"Your Majesty, the overall situation is the most important thing!"

Obviously Qi Guogong is still a bit old and cunning. Although he is incapable of leading troops, he is better at grasping people's hearts than his nephew.

"I'm not reconciled! I'm the Son of Heaven! My father was able to..."

"His Majesty!"

Qi Guogong interrupted, and then persuaded more tactfully, "The first emperor is the first emperor, and your majesty is your majesty."

Compared with Emperor Qianming?

He was ashamed to say clearly that Emperor Qianming made great military exploits back then, and had a group of virtuous officials and generals under him, so he was able to gain a firm foothold after killing the king and seeking rebellion.

What does Li Cheng have now?
But he couldn't say that, he could only remind him gently.

Li Cheng was angry, but it didn't mean he had no brains at all. He naturally heard the overtones, so he took two deep breaths, and finally looked at the emperor's palace with a sullen face. After confirming that there was no one, he lowered his voice and asked, " Uncle, please tell me something plain!"

"What does His Majesty mean?"

"Zhen, is he the heir of my father?!"

The Duke of Qi was shocked when he heard the words, and quickly said, "What are you talking about, Your Majesty! Of course you are the heir of the late emperor!"

"Uncle! I want to hear the truth!"

Some news is impossible to block!

He had already heard rumors everywhere in the capital that he was not of the blood of the first emperor and was not qualified to inherit the throne at all. No matter how stupid Li Cheng was, he knew that if the rumors were true, he would not be able to sit firmly on the throne if it spread to the ears of the world.

"Who is bewitching Your Highness? It is absolutely impossible! Does Your Majesty still believe in your mother?"

Qi Guogong made a vow, but the sudden and subconscious eyes dodged and fell into Li Cheng's eyes.

Suddenly, his heart sank and he felt something was wrong.

"Who is it, tell me, who is it?!"

"His Majesty!"

"I order you to tell me!"

Looking at the bloodshot eyes of his nephew in front of him, Qi Guogong twitched the corner of his mouth, and finally said hesitantly, "Yes..."

……

Outside the palace, Guo Peng staggered into the carriage reeking of alcohol.

The court is already in his hands, and he can even enter and leave the palace at will. Except for the woman he has been thinking about, he is now the most powerful person in the Daqian dynasty!
Even the emperor must obey his arrangements.

"My lord, that little emperor didn't take your lord seriously at all."

Inside the carriage, Guo Peng's aides provoked viciously, and he said in a tone of aggrieved Guo Peng, "How could he sit on the throne if it wasn't for the help of the adults?"

Guo Peng closed his eyes and said nothing, but the staff said again, "With the current power of your lord, and your army is strong, why bother to abolish that little emperor and proclaim yourself emperor?!"

However, as soon as the staff finished saying this, Guo Peng opened his eyes suddenly with his eyes closed!

A terrifying cold light flashed across the beast-like eyes, and he slapped the staff member's face with a backhand. Hearing a scream, the staff member fell out of the carriage.

But then he quickly got up from the ground and came up again, terrified.

"If there is a next time! Don't blame me for not being sympathetic!"

"It's the subordinate who talks too much! Calm down, my lord!"

Guo Peng snorted coldly, his voice dark and deep, "The world belongs to the Li family, I'm just a courtier, I shouldn't think about it, I shouldn't take it!"

What about cheating ghosts?

The staff obviously didn't believe it, but they didn't dare to refute it.

Anyone who is Guo Peng's confidant knows how ambitious Guo Peng is!

Right now, he could wear a yellow robe and proclaim himself emperor, but he only proclaimed himself a regent. Thinking of the rumors that spread in the capital recently, the aides quickly lowered their heads. Could something be true?
If it is true, what Guo Peng is doing now can be fully explained.

Under the darkness of night, the capital city was quieter than before.

However, at this moment, dozens of black figures suddenly appeared on both sides of the street, followed by the sound of piercing through the air!

Countless cold arrows shot out from the secret, pointing directly at Guo Peng's car.

However, in the face of the sneak attack, the guards protecting Guo Peng did not panic at all. They only heard the crisp collision of Ding Ding Ding, and all the cold arrows scattered all over the ground.

It turned out that the carriage Guo Peng was riding in was wrapped in iron sheets in all directions, and even a strong crossbow could not penetrate it.

"Protect the lord!"

"kill!"

All the personal guards shot out one after another, and those men in black who came to assassinate were also brave enough to die, and the two sides were directly entangled.

But not long after, more than half of all the men in black who assassinated were killed or injured. Who would have thought that Guo Peng was surrounded by experts?
There were even two old men in the realm of little masters, one on the left and the other on the right, killing many black-clothed assassins with their hands raised.

"A group of rats dare to make trouble!"

Guo Peng looked at the corpse on the ground with a sneer, and waved his hand, "Hang him to the gate of the city!"

This wasn't the first time he was assassinated, but he didn't take it seriously at all.

……

"Head, it's just as you guessed, this Guo Peng has a master by his side!"

"Yeah, fortunately we didn't act rashly, otherwise the brothers must have suffered heavy casualties tonight."

In the night, there were only a few figures watching Guo Peng leave in the carriage from a distance, and it was Gu Fan and a few of his men.

Since the crown prince usurped the throne, he disappeared directly with the people he trusted the most, while secretly waiting for an opportunity.

"Those people should be dead soldiers of the prime minister's mansion, what a pity."

Gu Fan listened to his subordinates muttering, but there was no change in his expression. At the same time, he frowned slightly and asked, "How is the investigation going?"

"There are some clues. The subordinates have found the servant who used to be an errand in Duke Qi's mansion."

"Say!"

"Back then, the first emperor was attacked during his northern tour, and the emperor and the empress were separated. In the end, one of General Huo's lieutenants desperately rescued the empress!"

The investigation information of the Imperial City Division can be described as digging layer by layer, and there is nothing they cannot dig out.

Gu Fan's face changed slightly when he heard this.

"Guo Peng?"
