I Became the Older Brother of the Heroine in an Abusive Novel

Empress Jiang knew that they were clearly forcing the palace.

However, they have the most high-sounding reasons.

Now Emperor Qingping can no longer issue any orders, not even a single word.The decree he once made has become the best shield for the Xu family to use.

Now, Xu Xiang was in front of her, and the Xu family's soldiers and horses were displayed outside Chang'an City, clearly for the purpose of pushing the fourth prince to the throne, but the reason presented was to safeguard the imperial decree of Emperor Qingping.

Emperor Qingping seemed to have become a puppet of them.

They have the military power in their hands, and they have shamelessly stood on the commanding heights of morality.

For a while, Empress Jiang was speechless, and even Prime Minister Jiang's faction couldn't refute.They could only let the officials of the Xu family faction, together with Xue Yunhong, who was picked up from the harem, surround him and push him to the throne.

Empress Jiang only had time to order as a queen to seal Concubine Shu in Mingluan Palace, no one could come in and out to visit, and she was responsible for all food and clothing until she gave birth to the dragon heir safely.

She knew that she had only one way to save Concubine Shu and the child in her womb.

However, Xue Yunhong and the Xu family didn't care about it at all.After all, up to now, he is no different from sitting on the throne.The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and Emperor Qingping has become a useless person. Who else can surpass him?

Even if Concubine Shu was allowed to give birth to a child, even if he was a prince, he would no longer have the possibility of competing with him.At that time, whether he lives or dies, doesn't it all depend on his own mood?

Xue Yunhong did not refute Empress Jiang's edict, surrounded by ministers, sat on the dragon chair and went to court for the first time.

Today's court is very different from the past.

Yesterday's Xu family is a precarious criminal minister, who may be condemned by His Majesty at any time and kill the nine clans.

But today's Xu family is the mother's family of the crown prince Xue Yunhong, and is the most powerful relative.

This time in the early court, the ministers were silent after dealing with the important affairs of the court.Regardless, the silence didn't last long, and was broken by an official.

He is an official of the Xu family faction.

He knelt down in the court hall and bluntly stated that there were some unclear points in the case of Shandong magistrate's embezzlement of money and food for disaster relief.

The official only said that he had contact with the Minister of Beijing and China, and that the matter of greed for ink and food was instigated by the Minister of Beijing and China.However, it has never been ascertained who the minister is. Presumably the magistrate wants to divert the trouble and mitigate the crime, so that he can randomly drag a Beijing official into the water.

Therefore, this case needs to be re-examined.

Who among the officials present couldn't tell that he was exonerating Prime Minister Xu?

How could a mere new local prefect have the guts to withhold the materials approved by the imperial court? It was clearly instigated by someone with the intention of disturbing the imperial envoys in the south of the Yangtze River.As for why the Beijing officials haven't found out so far?It was not because Emperor Qingping had not yet made a final decision, so it was delayed for a while.

Now that Emperor Qingping is unconscious and the four princes are sitting on the dragon chair, the first thing they have to do is to explain what the Xu family has done.

However, Xue Yunhong smiled happily before the courageous minister made a rebuttal.

"In that case, it doesn't hurt to check again," he said.

Then, the officials watched helplessly as he arranged for officials to re-investigate the case thoroughly.

He is also Xu Xiang's confidant.

Afterwards, the morning court became an occasion where the fourth prince and the courtiers of the Xu family talked to each other and talked to each other.

They agreed to re-investigate the case in order to exonerate the Xu family. They also discussed the matter of making the fourth prince the crown prince. Under the witness, a ceremony was held and the announcement was made to the world that the fourth prince, Xue Yunhong, was the one who inherited Datong and took over the position of crown prince.

After that, the only one who could dismiss the Crown Prince was the sleepy Majesty.

The soldiers surrounding Qinmenguan outside the city would wait until Xue Yunhong had secured his position before continuing their mission and going south to suppress the bandits.

For a moment, except for the members of Xu's family, all the officials in the court were more or less gloomy.

They know where they stand.

Although it is not a change of dynasty now, it is no different from a change of dynasty. The "new emperor" ascended to the throne by such despicable means, and the Xu family, who had embezzled a large amount of gold and silver from the treasury, had the merit of being a dragon.

Don't say that these ministers who are in the wrong team will be in danger, even the entire Dayong is in danger.

-

An early morning session came to an end under the silence of everyone with different expressions.

After the early court, Xue Yunhong specially kept the official who was in charge of re-investigating the Shandong prefect's corruption of ink and food, and said something in private.

The two of them were in the imperial study room, no one else could enter, and naturally no one knew what they were talking about.

Even Dongchang, who is well-informed and has eyes and ears everywhere, has not received any news.

Duan Chong showed a rare expression of anxiety, pacing back and forth in the hall uneasily.

He only wanted the Xu family to suppress Xue Yan's arrogance, but he didn't expect that the Xu family would make such a desperate move, and they succeeded.

Xue Yunhong will step up to the position of prince soon.At that time, when Emperor Qingping, who could not last long, died, Xue Yunhong would be the emperor.

Who is behind Xue Yunhong?It was they who helped Xue Yan deal with the Xu family for more than a year, and it was the Lingfu lineage with whom they had a long-standing grudge.

At that time, where will their East Factory still have a foothold?Duan Chong, can he still save his life?

Just at this time, a fan came back to report.

"Is there really no news at all?" Duan Chong asked.

That fan said: "Mr. Chang, there are only four highnesses and the official in the imperial study room, and the people around, even if they bring tea and water, can't bring them in!"

Duan Chong said angrily: "Trash!"

That time he dared not speak.

Wu Shunhai next to him hurriedly asked him to calm down: "Master, calm down, this in the palace... is really difficult!"

Duan Chong knew this was the truth.

But what else could he do?

At this moment, Wu Shunhai carefully suggested: "The factory owner might as well find a way to find some subordinates and sneak out of the city?"

Duan Chong looked at him.

Wu Shunhai knew that his reaction was playful, so he quickly suggested: "It's only a few days' journey from here to Jiangnan. The fourth prince will be the crown prince, and the ceremonies of ceremonies need to be prepared now. Even if the day is suitable, it will have to wait until Let alone ten days later. If King Guangling can come back before then..."

Speaking of this, he meaningfully stopped his voice.

Sure enough, Duan Chong's eyes lit up.

He was in a hurry, how could he forget, there was Xue Yan.

That kid is like a jackal, very fierce and tyrannical, if he returns to the capital, can the Fourth Prince fulfill his wish?

As long as Xue Yan came back, most of his heart would be relieved.

As for how Xue Yan entered the city, and how to contend with the fourth prince, that was something Xue Yan had to consider.

After all, he is the one who wants to sit on the throne, and he will definitely make plans for himself, even if it is a desperate way, he must try it.

At that time, Dongchang took the opportunity to add fuel to the flames, and from the dragon's work, he sat securely.

Thinking of this, the gloomy look on Duan Chong's face receded a bit.

He seemed to have forgotten that Xue Yan was the one who caused this stumbling block, and immediately ordered his subordinates: "Go, send a few people, find a way to get out of the city, contact Duan Shishi as soon as possible, and find King Guangling .”

But at this moment, someone came to report at the door.

"...Factory!" The tone of that fan was a little surprised. "It's Guardian Duan who is back!"

Duan Chong was surprised.

"Quick, please come in." He said hastily.

Before he could turn around, Duan Shishi had already walked in.

A boy in his teens is the time to grow up.Now this kid is only 13 years old, after going south for half a year, he has grown a lot, and he is already as tall as Duan Chong.

He was wearing casual clothes, a sackcloth robe, sleeves and trouser legs neatly gathered, it looked like he was dressed for speed.

Duan Chong saw him, almost as if he saw Xue Yan.

"Why is my son back?" he said. "Where is His Royal Highness King Guangling now?"

Duan Shishi stood still in front of him, just looked at him quietly, and did not salute.

In the boy's eyes, there were not many emotions that ordinary people would have. They were only cold and quiet, like a wolf who only stared at its prey and waited for an opportunity to move.

Duan Chong frowned indistinctly.

He hated this feeling of not being subjugated, especially in front of the dog he raised with his own hands.

"What?" he asked calmly.

"The subjects come back and do something for King Guangling." He said.

"Why is it so urgent that you should salute your adoptive father!" Wu Shunhai next to him hurriedly said.

But Duan Shishi gave him a faint look.

The next moment, a young falcon-like figure suddenly appeared.

The sword light suddenly rose, and a sharp blade pierced Duan Chong's chest.

Under his sword energy, Duan Chong fell heavily to the ground, and the dark red blood instantly soaked the robe on his chest and flowed all over the ground.

"My subjects come here and take your life for King Guangling." Duan Chong stood in front of him with a sword in one hand, and said calmly.

His sword pierced the right chest, not Duan Chong's vital point.He let out a cry of pain, and then yelled desperately: "Come on! Come on!"

However, everything was quiet.

Duan Chong's vision was a little blurry.

He saw that there were quite a few fans, standing there quietly, who had become Xue Yan's subordinates without knowing when.

The rest were all held in place by the sudden appearance of Jin Yiwei, unable to move.Even Wu Shunhai next to him was strangled by Yi Jinyiwei, even if he struggled, he couldn't struggle much.

Duan Chong met Duan Shishi's eyes.

"The lord has an order, how many knives you stabbed my parents back then, and now you have to pay back as many knives as you want, one knife is indispensable." Duan Shisi said.

The next moment, the blade was pulled out and pierced into another part of Duan Chong's body again.

Still not the point.

"A total of seventeen knives. At that time, the subject was three years old, so he counted them clearly." Duan Shishi said.

There was silence all around, only the sound of sword piercing into flesh and blood repeatedly, and Duan Chong's pain and cursing gradually weakened.

The last sword pierced his throat.

Warm blood splashed on Duan Shishi's face.

Duan Shishi's body and hands were already covered with blood.

At this moment, a Jin Yiwei rushed in.

"Commander, there is a report in the city, and some officials brought many officers and soldiers to the Yongning Palace!" Jin Yiwei clasped his fists and said.

Duan Chong turned around.

He was covered in blood, like a ghost crawling out of hell.The blood dripped down his face, which made him a little uncomfortable. He raised the back of his bloody hand and wiped his cheek.

In an instant, several bloodstains ran across the past, making him look even more vicious.

"When will the prince arrive?" he asked.

The Jin Yiwei said: "In a few moments, the prince will arrive at the military camp outside the city. At this time, the Yanyun iron cavalry is ready to go, and it will enter the city just waiting for the prince to arrive."

Duan Shishi made a rough calculation and found that the time was about the same.

"Let's go," he said. "Go to Yongning Duke's Mansion."
