Chapter 476: Chaos

"Oh my god..." Pan Sisheng swallowed his saliva, unable to describe Emperor Liang's madness in words.

Ye Qingyou had no fear for Emperor Liang. "The incident with the crown prince gave His Majesty too much stimulation. He made Yuwen Xiao a target to induce Yuwen Xin to rebel. He also wanted to see if anyone dared to disobey his will. Anyone who did not approve of him would be killed sooner or later."

"..." Pan Sisheng clicked his tongue twice, "Crazy."

"So that position is a magic mirror. The temptation of power is infinitely terrifying and will only become more and more amplified." Ye Qingyou was very calm. "And the older you get, the greater your fear. After all, someone who has brushed shoulders with death... I completely understand why Brother Yan has always spurned the throne and has no interest in it."

"If you have something to say, just say it nicely. There's no need to show off your affection at this time." Pan Sisheng really wanted to throw the last sentence back at her.

Ye Qingyou shrugged, "Have you made all the necessary preparations? It won't take too long. Yu Wenxin can't wait, and Her Royal Highness the Princess can't wait either."

Pan Sisheng stopped talking nonsense and continued to stockpile large amounts of supplies.

At this time, the princess had completely convinced Yuwen Xin, who had become a great help to her. "You can unite two major forces. One is the new ruler of Yan. His purpose is very simple. As long as you promise to help him eliminate Yan Wuqing after you take the throne, he will definitely lend a hand and lend you a helping hand."

"Another force is the Lu family. The descendants of the Lu family in the capital were executed by His Majesty without any reason. Lu Shaozeng must hate them to the core."

"Your Majesty has not made a move yet because he is too far away to reach you. Second Prince, why not give Lu Shaozeng a chance at this time and let him become a helpful minister."

"With the assistance of these two forces, the Second Prince will have a better chance of success in his bid for the throne."

"What the Royal Aunt said is absolutely right. The Royal Aunt is indeed my guiding star! With you by my side at the helm, I must drive that coward off the throne of Crown Prince and absolutely must not destroy Daliang." Yuwen Xin was extremely excited!

The princess said slowly, "The most important thing right now is to gather supplies, and we have to act quickly. Otherwise, if it takes too long, we will have no chance of winning, and we simply can't afford the cost."

"Okay!" Yuwen Xin agreed immediately!

"And you have to pay attention to someone, that is Yuwen Yan. There has been no news from him so far, he is definitely not dead, maybe he is hiding deep inside, waiting for a better opportunity." The eldest princess hated this nephew the most, "If he hadn't married that woman, my daughter wouldn't have ended up like that."

"My request is very simple. If the Second Prince really wants to gain the position, I will kill Ye Qingyou with my own hands and dig those two evil offspring out of her belly..."

Yuwen Xin shuddered instantly, "If the imperial aunt can allow me to ascend the throne, such trivial matters are up to you, you can do whatever you want."

The eldest princess smiled indifferently, "Then let's wait for news."

"News? What news?" Yu Wenxin wondered.

"On the way from the capital to you, I have already sent invitations to Lu Shaozeng and the King of Xingguo of Yan. Within three days, they will definitely send news." The eldest princess' smile made Yuwen Xin a little afraid. "Your Highness, you will definitely succeed."

……

Ten days later, Emperor Liang received an urgent report of the uprising in the north during his morning court session.

"The Second Prince said that Your Majesty was being held hostage by the Crown Prince in order to establish the Eastern Palace, because whether it was the eldest son or the most virtuous one, it should not be the Crown Prince's turn."

"The Second Prince refused to hand over the military token, and has joined forces with Lu Shaozeng to seize three cities. He wants the Crown Prince to hand over the throne of the Eastern Palace, otherwise he will attack the capital and rescue His Majesty..."

The lengthy urgent report can be summed up in just a few words: "I don't accept it."

The court officials looked at each other and talked a lot. In fact, they were not surprised that the Second Prince had rebelled.

Because what the Second Prince said was right. It was true that Yuwen Xiao could not compare to Yuwen Xin and Yuwen Yan in either literary or martial arts.

Yuwen Xiao stood aside, his face burning. But now he could only pretend to be dead, because no matter what he said, it would be full of mistakes.

"What do you mean by appointing the most virtuous and the eldest son as the crown prince? I want him to have the final say on who I want to appoint as the crown prince?!" Although Emperor Liang thought that his second son might rebel, he was still furious when it really happened. "He actually teamed up with Lu Shaozeng to give me a warning. Is he justified in his rebellion?!"

"Your Majesty, the Second Prince has now captured three cities in a row, and those two places are grain-producing areas, which is equivalent to occupying the lifeline!" Immediately, a court official stepped forward to advise.

"The relief food was already in short supply, and the current situation seems to be very unfavorable to us."

"How did the princess persuade them? Why did they start fighting out of nowhere?"

"Your Majesty, how about calling back the Second Prince to discuss this?"

"What are you discussing? Even if he is dissatisfied, he shouldn't just start a war. This is just an excuse to seize the throne. There is no need to make up for the Second Prince!"

……

The court officials had different opinions and argued endlessly.

At this time, another urgent report came in from 800 miles away. "Report!"

"Yan State is not happy about the death of the young king and princess of Yan State in Daliang, and we are declaring war on Daliang from today!"

"The coastal areas have been blocked, and three coastal defense points have been breached..."

"!!!"

"Your Majesty, this situation is really not good!" The court officials did not feel too much pressure when they heard that Yuwen Xin and Lu Shaozeng were planning a rebellion.

In the final analysis, it's all for the position of crown prince. At worst, it can be given to the Second Prince. The key is that the Third Prince is indeed incapable of succeeding to the throne.

But now the State of Yan has also issued a declaration of war. This is a war that involves the foundation of Daliang!
"This rebellious son! He not only allied with Lu Shaozeng, but also allied with the State of Yan? He is indeed a spy and a traitor to Daliang!" When Emperor Liang heard this, his eyes suddenly turned dark.

"Your Majesty, what should we do now? Should we fight or make peace?"

The court officials all looked at Emperor Liang, waiting for his order.

How could Emperor Liang have any decree? Because he didn't expect Yuwen Xin to act so quickly, and he didn't expect Yan State to intervene!

Where did that woman Yan Wuqing go?
Where is Yuwen Yan going again?

Emperor Liang looked at the ministers in front of him, especially those in the Ministry of War. They were all too old and frail and it would be difficult for them to fight on the battlefield again.

"Fight, I will never retreat!"

Emperor Liang was determined to fight, "The Ministry of War must mobilize 100,000 soldiers and horses to quickly take back my city!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Even if the Minister of War was unwilling, he had no choice but to obey the order!
Emperor Liang quickly instructed several other departments to assist, and he was determined to hold Yuwen Xin down.

"I will never let any rebellious son go. I will not recognize those who betray Daliang. Anyone who takes Yuwen Xin's head will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold and a waiting time!"

Before the ministers could be shocked, Emperor Liang was shocked and wanted to kill his son again.

Another urgent report came from outside.

"…The news of the war between Daliang and Yan State spread to everyone, and the people rushed to the granary to grab food and medicine, but the grain shops closed their shops and started to raise prices. Now the streets of the capital are in chaos!"
