Chapter 650: Two Countries Invade, King Qi's Ambitions
The Jin State was a country where men were in power and women were inferior to men. They had always been dissatisfied with the Eastern Zhou Dynasty's way of doing things and felt that it was a great shame and humiliation for men to be oppressed by women, which was a loss of men's dignity.
Now that the empress has passed away and the new emperor has not yet been appointed, he is confident that if he takes advantage of the opportunity, he will be able to take down the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and avenge its humiliation!
The two countries of Zangrong and Jin sent troops one after another to attack the Eastern Zhou from both sides, and the ministers panicked.
At the critical moment, a minister suggested that King Rui lead the troops to fight and repel the enemy.
After all, Prince Rui was brave and good at fighting, both wise and courageous, and he once repelled tens of thousands of troops of the Zang Rong alone. It was perfect for her to go against the enemy.
The person who made this proposal was naturally from the Grand Master's faction.
As Grand Tutor Bo was the mother of Guijun Xi, she naturally stood on the side of the Second Princess.
Such a proposal was obviously intended to take advantage of the opportunity to get rid of Prince Rui so that the Second Princess could take the throne of the Empress.
Prince Rui's faction naturally refused to accept this. Although the Right Prime Minister's Mansion had collapsed, the Third Princess was still there.
Not to mention that they had already offended the Second Princess before, the effort and time they invested in the Third Princess could not be wasted. Moreover, the Third Princess's ability and character were not inferior to the Second Princess. It was not certain who would have the last laugh.
Now the Second Princess's people are proposing that Prince Rui lead the troops to the battle. Wouldn't this put His Highness in danger? If something goes wrong, wouldn't they be satisfied?
That's pretty cool!
So, the ministers of the Third Princess' lineage fought back.
It is believed that the Second Princess is also capable. She had helped the late emperor quell the rebellion in the southwest and made great contributions. She is not inferior to Prince Rui in terms of both literary and military skills. She is also capable of leading troops to war.
Some ministers also believed that the princess should not be sent to the border at this time as the new emperor had not yet been established.
Some even suggested that since King Beichen was extremely capable, she was also qualified to lead troops against the enemy.
Hey!
This also dragged Di Ran into the water.
It is true that when one is in the court, disaster will come to him.
In the end, even the King of War was dragged into the matter, causing everyone to curse and scold him.
Each party held its own opinion and argued fiercely. In the end, after much arguing, it was decided that King Beichen would lead the army to attack the Tibetan Rong, while King Rui, who had fought against the Jin army before, would deal with the Jin army.
After Di Ran left the palace and returned home, she told Ji Yunxie that she was going to the war. Ji Yunxie was shocked and aggrieved, his eyes were red, and he was very worried and reluctant to let her go, which made Di Ran very heartbroken.
The two said goodbye reluctantly. Di Ran left Bai Qi Moyan, Qing Yi and Di Yi with Ji Yunxie and went to the war alone.
Ji Yunxie stood on the city wall, watching the army go away, and only left reluctantly when he could no longer see the familiar figure.
...
...
Qingzhou, Qi Palace
Upon learning that the empress had passed away, the King of Qi was so happy that he held several banquets, fearing that others would not know that he wished the empress dead without any scruples.
The King of Qi had long been dissatisfied with his elder sister. Why was it that, even though they were both daughters of his father's concubine, it was his elder sister who inherited the throne instead of her?
She is clearly qualified and capable, so why didn't her father choose her?
Although her elder sister was nice to her, Ji Yue was unhappy in her heart. When she was a child, her father kept nagging her about how stupid she was and how she could not compare to her elder sister, which made Ji Yue increasingly dissatisfied with her elder sister.
However, with the change of her identity as the imperial sister, her ambition, unwillingness and resentment were suppressed in her heart.
Now that the empress has passed away, Ji Yue's ambition, which had been suppressed for many years, has resurfaced.
As the daughter of the late emperor, why can't she sit in that position?
Rebellion and usurpation of the throne?
Haha... her elder sister is not in the right position, so what is she afraid of?
History books are written by the victors. As long as she ascends the throne, who dares to say anything?
The King of Qi's ambition swelled at this moment, and he confidently fantasized about the scene of wearing a dragon robe and ascending the throne.
Over the years, she, the King of Qi, has not been a pleasure seeker. She has secretly raised troops and forged weapons.
Now that the empress is dead and two other countries are invading, most of the imperial troops have been transferred away, and the capital must be empty. Now is a good opportunity!
After the King of Qi summoned his staff to discuss, he planned to take advantage of the opportunity to seize the capital!
