This is your world

Chapter 657 The last resort

"Your Majesty!

Hearing that the prince wanted to let her go, the military advisor suddenly couldn't sit still: "Your Majesty, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how can you miss it?!"

The military advisor is anxious!

The woman in white is none other than the eldest princess of the dynasty, Zhao Ying!

Catching her will become a huge lever in their hands. When the time comes, this can be used to intimidate the court and even reverse the situation.

Is the prince Hu Tu?

Prince Zhaonan lowered his eyes slightly and said solemnly: "No matter what, she is my imperial niece!"

"Your Majesty, those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters!"

The military advisor said anxiously: "At this time, my lord, you must not take into account your personal affairs!"

"For this day, we have been preparing for more than ten years and have devoted a lifetime of hard work... Your Highness, please don't be confused!"

The military advisor advised him earnestly.

He has followed the prince for more than ten years. He has been with the prince many years ago, helping the prince with suggestions and becoming the prince's biggest assistant!

In order to assist Prince Zuo's great cause, he devoted almost his whole life's hard work and efforts.

He doesn't want it all to be ruined!

I don’t want the prince to give up a good opportunity that is so easy to get because of some uncle-nephew relationship.

Prince Zhaonan was silent.

He knows what the right choice is.

only……

Prince Zhaonan finally shook his head: "I know, I have my own plan!"

The military advisor looked anxiously outside the tent, then at the prince, and finally sighed deeply.

Outside the tent.

Zhao Ying walked out slowly and walked towards the distance.

It was surrounded by military camps stationed all around, and heavily armed soldiers could be seen everywhere.

The appearance of Zhao Ying and Zhou Qiuning has become a strange sight!

Many soldiers noticed the two of them, but no one dared to provoke them!

Not long after walking, Zhao Ying stopped and looked into the distance.

In the distance, you can vaguely see the smell of war...

That's the direction of the battlefield!

Over there, the soldiers and horses of the Jokhang court were in a stalemate with the soldiers and horses of Prince Zhaonan. The cruelty of war was far beyond her imagination.

Zhao Ying's eyes darkened slightly as if she thought of something.

Zhou Qiuning slowly walked to her side and glanced at her: "Failed?"

Zhao Ying remained silent.

"You can't persuade someone to pretend to be asleep!"

Zhou Qiuning crossed her arms and smiled half-heartedly: "Your uncle has been planning for more than ten years just to get the throne. Your words can't change his mind, nor can it change the current situation!"

Zhao Ying said nothing!

Indeed, she came to Jiangnan from Nanzhou this time to try to change the outcome!

I want to stop everything before it causes a catastrophe!

Unfortunately, it wasn't until now that she suddenly realized it. Some things happen and it's too late to look back!

The emperor's uncle's rebellion is a foregone conclusion!

Now, there is no turning back!

It is impossible for the emperor's uncle to surrender. Even if he surrenders, the many soldiers behind him will never allow it!

What is a foregone conclusion cannot be changed.

Unless...one party is completely defeated!

But whether it was the defeat of the imperial court or the defeat of Prince Zhaonan, it was not what she wanted to see. What the two parties consume is, after all, Jokhang’s national power.

If that were the case, Dazhao would be completely dragged into the abyss and unable to recover.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ying's heart trembled. She would never allow this to happen.

"Actually, there is another way now!"

At this time, Zhou Qiuning's voice came.

Zhao Ying suddenly turned her head and stared at her.

"Want to stop Zhao Jing and Zhao Qi? Do you want to change everything?"

Zhou Qiuning raised the corners of her mouth slightly, "There is another way now!"

"What?!"

Zhao Ying stared at her and spoke slowly.

"Your personal strength cannot change any of their decisions!"

Zhou Qiuning sighed softly, "Unless you have enough strength and confidence to intimidate and force everything to change!"

"It's just that now your status as the so-called eldest princess has no longer any deterrent effect!"

Zhao Ying was silent.

The eldest princess?

After her father's death, she, the eldest princess, existed in name only.

The huge Dazhao could not accommodate him for a long time.

"Whether it is Zhao Jing or Zhao Qi, they are not qualified emperors!"

Zhou Qiuning pouted, with a trace of disdain on his face: "Zhao Jing killed his father to seek the throne and was ruthless to achieve his goals. He does not have the appearance of an emperor. As for Zhao Qi, he may have that ability, but..."

"This Dazhao River belongs to your Zhao family, but it does not necessarily belong to him. Even if he ascends the throne, he cannot make up for the evil he has done!"

Zhao Ying looked at her: "What exactly do you want to say?"

"What I mean is... they are not worthy. They should not inherit the throne of Zhao!"

Zhou Qiuning was in high spirits, as if she thought of something, a smile emerged.

Zhao Ying said coldly: "They are the only successors of Dazhao, and the country of Dazhao can only be left in their hands."

"yes……"

Zhou Qiuning sighed lightly.

The change of imperial power in other dynasties was accompanied by bloody storms, and the princes fought for their heirs.

But in the Jokhang generation, everything is much simpler.

Emperor Zhao only has one heir!

Once he died, the only candidate to succeed him was Zhao Jing.

Even though many people suspected that Zhao Jing had committed patricide, there were still many people in the court who were dissatisfied.

but……

They have no choice.

The heir to the throne can only be Zhao Jing.

This may be why Su Jianan was so angry, but in the end he had to take the overall situation into consideration and assisted Zhao Jing in ascending the throne!

No choice!

At least in their opinion, it is more reliable to support Zhao Jing than to support Prince Zhaonan.

Of course, Zhao Qi has the blood of the Zhao family, and he is also qualified to inherit the throne.

"But have you ever thought about another possibility?"

Zhou Qiuning's beautiful eyes stared at Zhao Ying: "For example, you!"

"I?"

Zhao Ying's eyes were confused for a moment, and then she quickly realized what Zhou Qiuning meant...

There was a flash of shock in his eyes for a moment, but it quickly disappeared.

"impossible!"

"Why?"

Zhao Ying was silent for a moment: "I am a woman!"

"Who says women can't do it?!"

Zhou Qiuning sneered, her eyes full of disdain: "Is there any provision in the Jokhang Law?"

There is indeed no provision in the Jokhang Law, but...

Zhao Ying was silent.

After a while, she shook her head: "It's impossible. There is no precedent for a woman in Dazhao, and there has never been one since ancient times..."

"It hasn't happened since ancient times, so why can't it start with you?"

Zhou Qiuning sneered: "You are so hesitant, you are not the Zhao Ying I know. Don't you think so?"

Zhao Ying was silent for a moment and shook her head lightly: "I can't!"

A woman is the emperor?

Appalling!

She had never heard it, never thought about it.

She has never had any thoughts about being an emperor.

"Others can't do it, but you are different!"

Zhou Qiuning stared at her: "You are Zhao Ying, you are the eldest princess of Dazhao!"

"Since ancient times, there has been no precedent for a woman to be emperor. Why can't you set this precedent?"

"If you want to stop the war between Zhao Jing and Zhao Qi, this is the only thing you can do right now. Deal with Zhao Jing, ascend the throne as emperor, and restore peace to your country... You can only do this if you ascend the throne and take power! "

Zhou Qiuning spoke word by word.

Zhao Ying's eyes were confused, looking into the distance.

She may be right!

If you want to stop this, you have to take power. If you want to be in power, you must...

"Can you bear to see the country of Dazhao fall into turmoil? Can you bear to see your people destroyed and displaced because of the internal strife of your Zhao family?"

"All your hesitation will only plunge your people into greater disaster. As the eldest princess of Zhao, you shoulder the mission and responsibility!"

Zhou Qiuning stared at Zhao Ying fiercely: "If you want to stop this, you must do this!"

Zhao Ying was silent.

Zhou Qiuning's words seemed to touch the deepest feelings in her heart.

only……

"I probably can't do it!"

Zhao Ying's voice was low.

"No, you can do it!"

Zhou Qiuning looked at her and said, "I believe you!"

"You are different from others. You are the eldest princess of Zhao. You also have the blood of the Zhao family... and more importantly, you have Qin Tiansi!"

"Qin Tiansi was established by you. Even if it falls into the hands of Zhao Jing now, your prestige within Qin Tiansi is unshakable, and Qin Tiansi's status in the world cannot be doubted..."

"You have the opportunity and ability to change everything, it just depends on whether you want to do it or not!"

Zhou Qiuning also looked into the distance with her hands behind her back.

At this moment, her face seemed to be filled with a thoughtful look.

"This chaotic war cannot be ended in a short time. In less than a month, the war will spread to Nanzhou and endanger Zhongzhou. By then, I'm afraid even if you have the intention, you will not be able to do it in time!"

Having said this, Zhou Qiuning turned around and looked at her again, with a smile on his face: "Don't forget, there is Beizhou..."

"The old party of Northern Qi is still keeping an eye on you. Once your Zhao Dynasty is in chaos, Beizhou will definitely not be protected..."

Perhaps it was these words that completely moved Zhao Ying.

Her eyes hardened.

Yes, there is also the old Northern Qi Party!

They still haven't eradicated it, they...

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in Zhao Ying's mind.

A familiar figure.

His mind trembled slightly.

"Beiqi...Prince?"

A brief hint of gloom passed by, and Zhao Ying regained her composure.

As if thinking of something, Zhao Ying suddenly looked back at her: "Why do you want to help me?"

If she remembers correctly, Zhou Qiuning was once a subordinate of Zhao Jing?

"I didn't help you!"

Zhou Qiuning spoke in a relaxed tone, smiled at her, looked into the distance, and said calmly: "I just want to see if Dazhao can produce a female emperor..."

"I think this will be interesting, right?"

"..."

Beijing.

Health Palace!

The silent hall, the sandalwood birds!

Zhao Jing, wearing a purple and gold dragon robe, knelt and sat in front of the hall with a pious expression.

He clasped his hands together, and after a long silence, he slowly opened his eyes.

Staring at the Buddha statue in front of him, there was a glimmer of light in his gloomy eyes. As if thinking of something, he sighed softly.

"Father, I suddenly understand you a little bit!"

Zhao Jing murmured to himself.

He had never believed in gods and Buddhas before, and scorned his father's pursuit of immortality.

From ancient times to the present, how can there be any immortal people?

So many emperors spent their whole lives pursuing immortality, but in the end, who actually achieved immortality?

Zhao Jing prides himself on being sober and never believes in any gods or Buddhas. He always firmly believes that fate should be in his own hands.

I control my own life!

But now...

Following the emperor's uncle's rebellion, various parts of Jokhang fell into war.

Daily war reports continue to come in. People everywhere are displaced, thieves are increasing, local government order is broken, and the national treasury is in urgent need...

All kinds of bad news kept coming, making him anxious!

He tried very hard to solve all these problems, but found that there was no way to start with the mess in front of him.

Prince Zhaonan's eager troops coveted his position in the court. Unable to suppress the rebel army, everything else is just empty talk!

Zhao Jing, who was in dire straits, began to doubt himself amidst constant failures and helplessness.

He began to question his abilities!

Can he seriously be a good emperor?

No answer!

But in the past, he firmly believed that my fate was up to me, but now for some unknown reason, he suddenly felt a little more relieved!

Perhaps worshiping Buddha devoutly is not just for praying to heaven!

My father’s pursuit of immortality is not really for immortality!

All he wants is peace of mind!

yes!

Peace of mind!

Although he knew that it was impossible to live forever, his father still held on to the slightest illusion and found excuses for himself to make himself feel at ease.

And what about him?

Isn’t what we are doing again exactly what our father has done?

Zhao Jing was silent, his eyes becoming more and more confused.

"His Majesty!"

The old eunuch's voice came from behind.

"Urgent report from Beizhou!"

"Beizhou?"

Zhao Jing suddenly turned around, his expression solemn.

Beizhou was now the top priority, and he mobilized 30,000 troops from Beijing to quell the rebellion. Nowadays, the defense in Beijing is empty, and the capital is too close to Beizhou. If anything goes wrong in Beizhou, it can directly threaten the safety of Beijing.

"What's going on in Beizhou?" He looked gloomy.

"Urgent report from Beizhou. He Wansheng, the governor of Beizhou, came to report urgently, saying that he has learned some important news!"

"what news?"

"The bloodline of the former Northern Qi royal family...has been found!"

The old eunuch said and presented a piece of information.

Zhao Jing was shocked, with a look of disbelief on his face.

The bloodline of the Northern Qi royal family?

The remnants of Northern Qi?

Still alive? !

This news made Zhao Jing unable to sit still.

He quickly opened the letter and looked down.

Just a moment later, his expression suddenly changed, his eyes widened in disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost.

Sunset City.

A teahouse somewhere, on the third floor!

Li Beifeng leaned against the window and quietly looked at the scenery of Sunset City.

Not long after, Lin Ning's figure appeared at the side and whispered: "Master, you have already finished the things you asked your subordinates to do, but..."

Lin Ning hesitated for a moment: "I have no idea how to deal with the defense of Sunset City..."

"I know!"

Li Beifeng nodded slightly, his eyes blank.

His foundation in Sunset City is unstable. As the largest city in Beizhou, even the governor's office is in Sunset City. The city defense of Sunset City is not much worse than that of the capital city.

If you want to capture Sunset City, you must first find a way to solve the problem of Sunset City’s defense!

Li Beifeng squinted his eyes, thinking about something.

"Who is in charge of Sunset City Defense?"

Lin Ning said in a deep voice: "It should be someone from the governor's office. In addition, there are also the shadows of several major families in Sunset City."

"Sir, if we want to capture Sunset City, in addition to these, we must also find a way to get the people from Ruyilou to obtain Sunset City's city defense deployment..."

Li Beifeng nodded, this is indeed a problem that needs to be solved now.

"Let's solve other problems first. I'll figure out a solution for the city defense deployment!"

Li Beifeng thought for a moment and then nodded, stood up and prepared to leave.

Just as he was going downstairs, he met several people.

A few dandy boys from the city walked over swaggeringly.

The leader happened to bump into Li Beifeng.

Li Beifeng took a step back and let the opponent miss him!

"You haven't fucking grown up..."

The other party opened his mouth to scold, but he raised his head and glanced at Li Beifeng. He was startled for a moment, and then a ghostly look appeared on his face.

"Yes, it's you?!
