The Crown Princess is reborn and returns to subvert the world

Chapter 463 Opening the City Gate for the New Emperor

As Tian Muyu shouted, Tian Muqiong on the city wall happened to look over here. He saw that Tian Muyu was not wearing a holy robe, but a general's armor. Invisibly, he felt an oppressive feeling that was more majestic than the emperor's identity.

"This fourth one!" Tian Muqiong couldn't help but murmur.

Tian Heng next to him also looked outside the city wall. The man sitting upright on the horse with an imposing manner also shocked him.

"Your Majesty, do you want to open the city gate?" Tian Heng asked.

Tian Muqiong shook his head. "No, once the city gate is opened, I'm afraid it will never be closed again. By then, let alone competing for the Central Plains, I'm afraid that the King of the Northwest will not be able to stay."

"But, given the current situation, if we don't open the city gate, I'm afraid the city gate will be besieged tomorrow." From the moment he saw Tian Muyu, Tian Heng was shaken for some reason. He wanted to seek refuge with the person outside the city. He inexplicably yearned for him.

So at this time, he had no motivation to help Tian Muqiong at all. Not only that, he even wanted to send Tian Muqiong away.

He knew that this was wrong, so in order to curb his irrational thoughts, he could only try hard to suppress his urge to open the city gate and stay obediently by Tian Muqiong's side.

"Third brother, what Cui Hao said is not true, right? You are not like the sixth uncle, trying to seize the world of the Great Saint Dynasty?"

Under the city wall, Tian Muyu rode his horse over and shouted to Tian Muqiong on the city wall.

Tian Muqiong was stunned and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Tian Heng stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the Emperor came here alone, so he must not want to fight with you. Why don't you open the city gate and have a good talk with him?"

Tian Muqiong snorted coldly, "What are we talking about? Asking him to allow me to rule the northwest and dominate the area?"

Tian Heng was startled.

Tian Muqiong no longer paid any attention to Tian Heng, walked to the city wall and looked at Tian Muyu below.

"Fourth brother is really a hidden talent. I didn't expect that you could do something so easily that even the crown prince couldn't do it."

"Brother, do you not want your younger brother to take the throne and want to support your Sixth Uncle? But when your Sixth Uncle was in power, why did you try every possible means to escape from the capital and come south to find our father?"

"I have never supported the Sixth Uncle!" Tian Muqiong emphasized.

"Then why don't you want your younger brother to replace your sixth uncle?" Tian Muyu asked, "Could it be that your third brother wants to sit in that position?"

Tian Muqiong was stunned and couldn't answer again.

"If Third Brother wants that position, I can give it to him. But this is a major event for our Great Saint Dynasty, so it must be discussed and agreed upon by the court officials. If they agree, I will give it up without hesitation."

Tian Muqiong didn't expect that Tian Muyu would tell him all this when he arrived in Liangzhou, and he didn't believe it for a moment. But he knew Tian Muyu's character, and he was a man of his word. If he didn't really want to abdicate the throne, he would never say it so easily.

"If you are willing to give up the throne, will your queen agree?" Tian Muqiong asked Tian Muyu who was standing under the city.

Tian Muyu was startled, "What does this have to do with the Queen?"

Tian Muqiong laughed, "Don't you know that the queen is a person with the fate of a phoenix?"

Tian Muyu was even more stunned.

Tian Muqiong laughed out loud, "Fourth Brother, you are indeed a simple person. For you to have achieved what you have today, Third Brother doesn't know whether to congratulate you or be jealous of you."

"Brother, do you think your younger brother got the throne by chance? You are totally wrong. In Jiangnan and on the way to send my father's coffin back to Beijing, you saw how the Sixth Uncle treated us. He even wanted to take my father's life at any time, so how could he show mercy to us?!"

"Jixiang and I, including you, the third brother, all of us found a glimmer of hope in desperate situations. So, third brother, your throne did not fall from the sky. It was won by you, Jixiang, civil and military ministers, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers fighting for it."

At this time, Xiong Er and Jiang Renhe rode their horses to Tian Muyu's side.

Tian Muqiong looked at them and said, "Fourth brother, if I, the third brother, don't open the city gate today, will you send people to attack the city gate?"

He looked at Tian Muyu, trying hard to find clues in his eyes.

But Tian Muyu laughed, "No, you are my brother, I will not hurt you."

Tian Muqiong didn't expect Tian Muyu to answer like this, but he became interested. "What if I don't open it, will you lead hundreds of thousands of troops to guard outside the city?"

Tian Muyu: "Yes, I will wait until my third brother opens the city gate for me."

Tian Heng didn't expect that the new emperor would be so kind to his brother, so he wanted to persuade Tian Muqiong. However, Tian Muqiong seemed to have discovered his intention and waved his hand to signal him not to speak anymore. Tian Heng had no choice but to shut up and continue to watch the new emperor and others outside the city wall beside Tian Muqiong.

"The Northwest is not like the imperial city. It gets extremely cold in winter. You have hundreds of thousands of troops gathered here, with little clothes to wear and no charcoal. I'm afraid it will be very difficult for you to endure. I'm afraid many soldiers will be lost by then." Tian Muqiong couldn't help but worry about Tian Muyu.

"You don't need to worry about these, Third Brother. I have made full preparations for coming here," said Tian Muyu.

Tian Muqiong saw that Tian Muyu was determined to fight him, so he didn't want to waste time talking to him. "If you want to stay, then stay outside the city. Anyway, I will not hand over the military power of the Northwest Army, nor will I serve you as the emperor."

Tian Muqiong turned around and was about to leave when Tian Muyu stopped him outside the city.

"Third brother, I came to the northwest this time not to deprive you of your military power, nor do I want to take your life. I just want to have a good talk with you. Cui Hao has already come to the capital, and he should be able to tell you what the crown prince is like now. And fifth brother, you should know the current situation of fifth brother."

"My fourth brother did not embarrass them. On the contrary, Jixiang and I want to use our strength to protect them from having to worry about their lives. After the death of our father, you and I are the closest people to each other. I don't want any of you to be unable to return to the capital because of others, and I don't want you to suffer another change of dynasty because of our own incompetence."

"You don't mind us going back to the capital?" Tian Muqiong was surprised. "Other emperors would send their brothers far away to remote fiefdoms, fearing that they would covet the throne. Aren't you afraid?"

Tian Muyu smiled, "If you can govern the Great Saint Dynasty better, it will be a better thing for the people. The emperor doesn't mind abdicating, so why would he mind you all staying in the capital?"

Tian Muyu's answer made Tian Muqiong uneasy. He waved to Tian Heng beside him and said, "Open the city gate, but only allow the emperor to enter the city. Everyone else, evacuate 500 meters away from the city wall."

When Tian Heng heard this, he knew that Tian Muqiong had shown some signs of loosening up, so he immediately responded and hurried to make arrangements.
