The Princess of the Fairy Phoenix Road

Chapter 870 The emperor's mind, ruthless determination (1)
The rain in Xunyang City here lasted for two full nights and one day, so the group stayed here for another day before leaving for Beijing.

When I came here, it was inconvenient to carry the coffins of Li Ruixiang and Li Ruixiang, but when I went back, I didn’t have to be tied down, and I walked very quickly. It only took four days to turn back. Sweeping the previously depressed and desolate atmosphere, it became lively again.

Chu Xunyang and his group also happened to be in time to attend the grand ceremony for Chu Qifeng to accept the crown prince canonization ceremony. The ceremony could have been held a few days in advance, but Chu Qifeng delayed it with excuses. Chu Xunyang knew in his heart that he was waiting for him to enter the ceremony. After the city, he parted ways with Lord Yanling and went back to the mansion to help prepare for the next day's grand ceremony.

Although the new emperor has not officially ascended the throne, it is a matter of course for Chu Yi'an to succeed the king of a country.

So even so, the ceremony of Chu Qifeng being canonized as the prince of Xiyue was also full of pomp and circumstance, and even every detail was spared——

Amnesty to the world, open warehouses to release grain, and the emperor's list announced to the world, announcing the arrival of a new era of the Xiyue Dynasty.

The running water banquet at the gates of the major yamen in the capital has been held three days in advance, and the whole world celebrates together, and the people are happy.

On the day of the canonization ceremony, a group of people picked an auspicious time to go to the imperial mausoleum to worship the sky and ancestors before dawn. When they returned to the palace, they were facing the rising sun, covering the entire imperial city.

The Minister of Rites read the canonization edict sent back to Beijing by Chu Yi'an on his behalf, and Chu Qifeng accepted the coronation in front of all the officials and became the legitimate helm of the dynasty.

Throughout the whole process, he only brought Chu Xunyang with him.

Although Chu Yi'an is not here, it already means that the East Palace has officially taken over the power of the world.

Chu Qiyan was not absent from the ceremony on this day, and accompanied all civil and military officials throughout the whole process, witnessing this historic moment.

"My son!" As soon as the coronation ceremony was over, his bodyguard came up and looked at Chu Qifeng's brothers and sisters on the high platform, while saying: "Although it is during this period that the second princess and the fifth princess of the East Palace are all complaining about illness, but today At the canonization ceremony, the prince only brought the princess Xunyang here alone, is this - isn't it too much?"

Although Chu Yi'an owed a grand enthronement ceremony, since Chu Qifeng had already been conferred, her status and status had also been changed. This day was also the day when the three princesses of the Eastern Palace were formally proclaimed princesses.

It stands to reason that as long as Chu Yuexin and Chu Yueyan are not ill, they will be able to breathe. They should also be present for this ceremony in person to receive the order.

But now-

But Chu Qifeng did it so obviously that he didn't ask them to show up at all.

Chu Qiyan's expression was indifferent, and he looked at the scene of Chu Qifeng and Chu Xunyang whispering to each other with deep eyes, and felt that it was extremely dazzling.

After a while, he forced himself to turn his eyes away from the two, flicked his robe, and walked towards the imperial garden, saying: "You don't have to keep staring at the housework that they closed the door. Let me tell you about it, do you have any clues?"

"Yes!" The guard replied, looked around cautiously while speaking, and lowered his voice: "The news has been sent back. A few days ago, a group of assassins indeed assassinated Duke Ping."

"Really?" Chu Qiyan fiddled with the branches on the side of the road, and because she knew it well, she asked casually, "Is he alright?"

"Yes!" The guard replied: "I have been working in my grandfather for the past few months, and the Duke has been paying special attention to it. It happened that our people arrived, and the Duke only suffered some skin trauma, and his life is not in danger. .”

Chu Qiyan pursed her lips, and suddenly stopped walking.

The guard thought he wanted to order something, so he hurriedly stepped forward and prepared to obey.

Chu Qiyan pressed her fingers on a dwarf pine branch, and the corners of her lips curled up in a cold arc, asking: "What kind of person do you think Chu Qifeng is?"

"Huh?" The guard was taken aback, then looked up at him in surprise.

Chu Qiyan seemed to be unprepared for him to be able to answer, so he continued to walk forward and said: "Now the power of the entire Eastern Palace is under his control. If he is really determined to kill people and seize power, what do you think he will do?" Will it be worthless?"

Now that the two sides have officially tore apart their faces, Chu Qifeng must be on guard against him trying to win over Zheng Duo.

And now-

If he really wanted to act first, even if Zheng Duo and Chu Qiyan had taken precautions, how could the matter pass without pain or itching?
"But—" Although the guard felt that what he said was reasonable, he was still confused and said, "If he didn't want to attack the Duke, why bother? In this way, wouldn't it be helpful? Has the son's help completely drawn the Duke to your side?"

The corners of Chu Qiyan's lips curled up, but she didn't respond immediately, and walked forward for a while, before saying, "You underestimate him."

His gaze instantly settled down and became dark. Looking into the distance, he said with a blank expression: "I thought he knew that even if he didn't do this, I would unilaterally take action to make such a scene for Zheng Duo. Look. But Zheng Duo is not completely brainless. I directed and acted on my own, and it is inevitable that there will be flaws. So he, Chu Qifeng, followed suit, cooperated with me, and made Zheng Duo believe in this game."

Chu Qifeng set up a bureau by himself, making Zheng Duo suspicious of him?
No matter how you listen to it, it is completely unreasonable.

The more the guard listened, the more confused he became.

Chu Qiyan looked back at him from a distance, and said in a flat tone, "I'd rather kill three thousand people by mistake than lightly indulge one! This word—have you heard it?"

The guard gasped sharply.

Chu Qiyan continued to walk forward again, his eyes slowly turned cold, and said: "Chu Qifeng, he has changed. If it is said that he was just the right-hand man by Chu Yi'an's side before, wholeheartedly eliminating dissidents and protecting his family's glory, then Now—he is really using the emperor's mind. How can you allow others to snore on the side of the couch? Even if the current Ping Guogong has no objection, he is absolutely against the relationship between the Zheng family and our Nanhe Palace. The Zheng family will not be kept."

But Zheng Duo didn't have any major faults at the moment, and he couldn't act for no reason, so he directed this good show, first to anger Zheng Duo, so as to force Pingguo Duke's government onto Chu Qiyan's boat.

Its intentions are deep and ruthless——

If you really compare with Chu Pei, you might as well make more concessions.

"He wants to force against the Zheng family?" the guard asked, thinking about Chu Qifeng's usual behavior, he still found it unbelievable.

"It's not as simple as trying to force the Zheng family back?" Chu Qiyan said with a sneer, her tone full of sarcasm, "Not only the Zheng family, but now everything that seems to him to be insecure or threatening He won't let anyone who comes to him go. Then again, it's only because of the conflicts between me and their brothers and sisters. Chu Yi'an is not in the capital. No matter how strict my precautions are, if he really wants to put a crime on my Nanhe Palace, do you think he can't do it?"
