Chapter 179 The Power to Depose the Emperor
What the hell!
Are you kidding me?
Is this the character of the King of War?
If she became the empress, wouldn't the Eastern Zhou Dynasty be in chaos? !
Mo Yan on the side rolled his eyes at her and listened carefully to what Di Ran continued.
"The Third Princess was resourceful, brave and good at fighting. At the age of thirteen, she led the army to attack the Tibetan Rong and defeated them with a plan."
"Later, he went into battle and killed the enemy, taking the enemy general's head, making great contributions to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. The late emperor was delighted and made him a king."
Bai Qi was stunned and confused.
This... the War King that the master mentioned is the same person that she knows now? ?
Aren't you bullying her because she has never seen the real person?
Mo Yan was also a little surprised. Is this... is the master really talking about the War King? ?
Emperor Yi on the side echoed, "Master, what you said is correct. The Third Princess was indeed talented and proficient in both civil and military affairs. She was deeply favored by the emperor and was listed as one of the two war gods of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty along with Ye Guijun's daughter, the Seventh Princess Ji Fengge."
Still a God of War?
Bai Qi: “…”
Mo Yan: “…”
"Back then, Lady Ye was the favorite concubine of the harem. After she gave birth to the Seventh Princess, she became even more favored. Although the Third Princess did not have a biological mother to rely on, she gained the attention of the late emperor with her own efforts."
"The princess was arrogant and made several mistakes in a row, which made the late emperor want to depose her, but then something big happened."
"The Seventh Princess was accused of collaborating with the enemy and fell off a cliff when she encountered bandits on her way back to the capital. The Ye family was found to have secretly made a dragon robe for rebellion, and the entire family was executed."
"Ye Guijun was also charged with the crime of plotting to murder the heir to the throne and was banished to the cold palace, and was eventually poisoned to death."
"The Seventh Princess lost her position, and everyone thought that this might be related to the Third Princess. After all, the two were evenly matched at the time, and either of them had a chance to take the throne. However, in the end, nothing was found out."
Bai Qi opened his mouth and stammered, "Could it be that because the Seventh Princess lost power, the late Emperor set his sights on the Third Princess?"
Di Yi gave her a look that said 'you guessed it right'.
Bai Qi: “…”
"But the current empress is not the War King, right?"
The emperor glanced at her coldly and said, "That's because the current empress's throne was obtained illegally." "Ah?"
Bai Qi was surprised: "How could it be?"
"Why do you think the master has been assassinated one after another?"
Bai Qi was stunned and looked up at Di Ran: "What does this have to do with the master?"
Di Ran's eyes were cold and clear. "That's because the late emperor left a will before his death, ordering me to be the regent. If the empress is immoral or incompetent, I can depose her by imperial decree and discuss with the court officials to support other princesses."
Hearing this, Bai Qi and Mo Yan widened their eyes in surprise.
"The power to depose the emperor?!"
How much power is this?
The late emperor actually trusted his master so much?
Isn’t she afraid...
Di Ran glanced at the two of them from the corner of his eye, and the corner of his mouth curled up coldly: "Do you think the late emperor values me?"
Is not it?
Di Ran narrowed his deep eyes slightly: "The Eastern Zhou Dynasty has always valued royal bloodline. The heir to the throne must have Ji family blood. If all the emperor's daughters are dead, the heir will be selected from the direct blood relatives, and outsiders will not be recognized."
"Although I have the power to depose the emperor, I cannot take the throne unless I endure the curses of the people and usurp the throne."
"The late emperor and the imperial teacher made such an order because they knew that I would not rebel. The imperial teacher was forced to use the will to suppress Ji Yao because of the situation."
Mo Yan frowned and said, "So, the empress came here for the imperial order, and that's why she sent people to sneak into the palace many times?"
Di Ran narrowed his eyes dangerously, his eyes were cold and gloomy.
"In addition to coming here for the imperial decree and the will, she probably doesn't trust me as the person who knows the truth, otherwise she wouldn't have secretly eliminated most of the officials in the court who knew the truth."
