The world of film and television begins with Ning'an as a dream

The Queen Mother was distracted by her other son's affairs. She thought of something and said uneasily, "Why?"

Seeing that the Queen Mother had indeed fallen into her trap, Duke Xue said, "You may not believe what I say, so why not ask your Majesty's trusted confidant Zhou Yinzhiguo to report to you? You can always believe what he says!"

The Empress Dowager was a little surprised and doubtful at first, but when she saw Duke Xue let Zhou Yinzhi speak, she began to suspect that her brother really had his own reasons, so she recruited Zhou Yinzhi.

Zhou Yinzhi knew about it when the emperor died, and he secretly contacted Duke Xue and found a new backer for himself.

After he entered the Empress Dowager's bedroom, he decisively betrayed the Emperor, but did not mention a word that he had sent a rescue signal to Duke Xue.

The Empress Dowager did not expect that her eldest son would kill even his own younger brother in order to ensure that the throne would be passed on to his son. If the emperor was still alive, then she, who had designated Prince Linzi as the Crown Prince, would also be close to death, right?

After she drove away Zhou Yinzhi and Duke Xue, she locked herself in the palace for a whole night. The next day, she went to the court holding Shen Lang's premature son and announced in public that the emperor had passed away, the crown prince was missing, and the newborn prince would succeed to the throne, and she would continue to rule the country from behind the curtain!

The court officials now had no choice. Even Master Xie said nothing and acquiesced to the Empress Dowager's decree.

Seeing that no one objected, the Empress Dowager immediately announced that Duke Xue and Prime Minister Gu would be regents. As for Junior Tutor Xie Wei, she was left out.

Now it was Xie Wei's turn to lament that things were changing too fast. Even he had not expected that Duke Xue would dare to poison the emperor and destroy his backing in an instant.

There was no point in him staying in the capital, so he resigned from his post in public and left the capital.

In the court, there were originally three factions, apart from the neutral ones, the Yan faction, the Xue faction and the emperor's people who balanced the court. After the Yan family withdrew from Kyoto, only the Xue faction and the emperor's party remained.

However, the imperial party was also divided into two factions, headed by Prime Minister Gu and Xie Wei. Now that Shen Lang was dead, the imperial party had lost its backing. Once Xie Wei left, although Prime Minister Gu was the regent, he could not support the government alone.

In addition, Empress Dowager Xue favored the Xue family, and gradually the emperor's party became smaller and smaller, and there was only one voice in the court.

Under such circumstances, Duke Xue continued to eliminate dissidents. Although no one in the court said anything, the officials who were important figures in the region were somewhat resistant. Even the soldiers on the northern and southern defense lines were affected.

Everything is peaceful in Youzhou. Yan Mu is secretly dispatching the defense, Wang Yue has been stepping up the training of new recruits, Jiang Xuening is responsible for working with the princess to balance the situation in Youzhou, and You Fangyin is in charge of transporting supplies. With the tacit cooperation of several people, the military strength of Youzhou is growing day by day.

After the little emperor, who was not even a full month old, ascended the throne, he did not change the reign title. However, in the spring of the 22nd year of Wanzhen, Xie Wei suddenly appeared in Jinling.

With his help, the King of Pingnan quickly reorganized his army, and under the banner of clearing the court of evil officials, he adopted a strategy of advancing westward, breaking through four cities along the way, entering the heart of Jingzhou, and heading straight for Xiangyang. As long as Xiangyang was broken, the King of Pingnan would be invincible.

The Empress Dowager finally realized that Prince Pingnan was the biggest threat. While she angrily scolded Xie Wei, the former emperor's tutor, for treason, she also rarely supported Duke Xue and mobilized the army from Jizhou to march south to prevent Prince Pingnan from becoming more powerful.

But it was too late at this time. The King of Pingnan had already controlled the two states and had an army of 500,000. Even if some miscellaneous soldiers were excluded, there were still more than 100,000 elite soldiers. In addition, there were two powerful generals, Feng Mingyu and Feng Zi, who were attacking cities and conquering territories. Unless the court recalled General Ma from Jizhou, there was no way to deal with the two of them.

Fortunately, King Pingnan knew that Generals Feng Mingyu and Feng Zi were not on good terms, so he sent Feng Mingyu to attack Xiangyang and asked Feng Zi to defend and wait for an opportunity to attack Hefei. This prevented the army sent by the court from being defeated.

At this time of internal and external difficulties, Duke Xue finally sent all those who opposed him to the front line, and only people from his faction were left in the core of the court.

On this day, Duke Xue suddenly came to the palace alone to meet the Grand Empress Dowager. After a night of deep conversation, the Grand Empress Dowager announced the emperor's abdication the next day. 39288238.

Chapter 29 A shocking gamble!

The young emperor, who had just learned to speak, had no idea what was going on, and just abdicated the throne to Duke Xue.

But Duke Xue was so impatient that he even omitted his hypocritical understanding and refused three times. He immediately put on the dragon robe and ascended the throne.

Of course, Prime Minister Gu and other members of the imperial party could not just sit there and watch, but it was useless for them to say anything, as they were directly dragged away to the imperial prison by the Xingwu Guards.

After dealing with Gu Shoufu and others, Duke Xue immediately named the young emperor the King of Anle. He also issued two edicts, naming Wang Yue the King of Yan and the King of Pingnan the King of Wu, and sent people to Youzhou and Jinling to try to stop the war and negotiate peace.

Wang Yue and Yan Mu have been waiting for revenge for a long time. Now that the Xue family has given him such a good excuse, how could he possibly accept the throne of King Yan?

Therefore, the Yan family army simply swore to march south under the banner of "killing the treacherous ministers and annihilating the evil queen."

General Ma of Jizhou had originally been connected with Xie Wei. After Xue replaced Shen, he did not resist at all and surrendered very straightforwardly.

The Yan family army captured Jizhou without bloodshed. Eighty thousand cavalrymen quickly moved southward. Before the Xue family could react, they had broken through the checkpoints and surrounded the imperial city!

Xue Yuan did not expect to be surrounded so soon. He took all the civil and military officials in the imperial prison as hostages and pushed them all onto the city wall, hoping to force the Yan army not to dare to attack the city and buy time for himself.

He felt that after the Yan family army besieged the city, the Prince of Pingnan would definitely speed up their advance. As long as he could delay until the Prince of Pingnan arrived, he could watch the Prince of Pingnan and the Yan family army fight each other.

Looking at the civil and military officials on the city wall, Wang Yue was really stumped. He didn't expect Xue Yuan to be so shameless. He made him redefine the bottom line of a human being.

In fact, Xue Yuan's guess was correct. Upon hearing that the Yan army had broken through the Jizhou defense line, King Pingnan began to order an all-out assault regardless of casualties.

Although the battle of Xiangyang was still fruitless, his general Feng Zi was the first to capture Hefei and march north, which made him overjoyed. He hurried to Hefei with his personal guards and marched north with Feng Zi's army.

They did not harass the city along the way, and the defenders did not intercept them, and soon the King of Pingnan arrived at the imperial city.

The reason why King Pingnan's army broke through so quickly was because the situation here was different from that in Hefei and Xiangyang, and there was no blood feud between the two sides.

Now that Daqian has fallen, the commanders of these defending troops no longer have the strength to fight for the world and can only remain neutral. No matter who becomes the emperor in the future, they will be rewarded.

When Xue Yuan saw that Prince Pingnan had also arrived, he was overjoyed. His own son had gone to the northwest to take over the border troops and had not returned yet. As long as he allowed the two armies under the city to fight each other, he might still have a hope of turning the tables.

So, he wore a dragon robe and held the imperial seal, looked at the two armies clearly divided under the city, and said to Wang Yue and King Pingnan under the city with great pride, "King Pingnan, King Yan, I know Xue has lost, but there is only one throne, whoever wins will get the throne!"

Prince Pingnan sneered and said disdainfully, "Xue Yuan, your trick is too immature. Do you think we will be fooled?"

Wang Yue just watched quietly, with no intention of attacking at all.

Xue Yuan felt anxious when he saw that the two sides did not fight. Even if his son transferred back 100,000 troops from the northwest, they would not be able to deal with so many people under the city.

In order to gain people's trust, he gave the imperial seal to his old rival, Prime Minister Gu, and then said with a smile, "The seal is in Prime Minister Gu's hands now. I will send him out of the city in a hanging basket. Whoever wins will get the imperial seal."

Although King Pingnan knew it was a bait, he still fell for it. That was what they were looking for. He turned to look at Wang Yue and said with a smile, "My dear nephew, it seems that you and I have to fight!"

Wang Yue glanced at Feng Zi beside King Pingnan, and pretended to be a gambler, deliberately saying, “In fact, our Yan family is only for revenge, and we are not particularly interested in this world.

It's really not worth it to keep fighting and killing for a throne and make people live in misery.

I think how about this, we each write a letter to send to each department, and we'll decide the winner in a battle, and whoever loses will have all his men surrender!

What does the King of Pingnan think? "

King Pingnan looked at Wang Yue's provocative eyes and felt a little suspicious. Could it be that Wang Yue was really fooled?

But he also intended to delay for some time and wait for his reinforcements. Besides, his General Feng Zi had brought a chariot formation specifically to deal with the cavalry. He thought that Wang Yue must not know this, so he made provocative remarks.

Therefore, he was afraid that Wang Yue would regret it, so he immediately suggested, "How about this, let's write a bet together, stamp it with our seals, and have someone spread the word to the three armies, and let everyone in the world know about today's bet!"

Wang Yue knew that this was a delay, but he ignored his men's objections and said loudly, "Then we have a deal!"

After they made up their minds, the two men wrote the contract in front of the soldiers of the three armies and each added their own private seal.

King Pingnan was overjoyed when he saw that Wang Yue had really been fooled. He had already ordered Feng Mingyu to lead the army to take a detour and catch up, instead of staying in a stalemate in Jingzhou.

According to his estimation, Feng Mingyu's army would only be able to travel for about a day at this point. As long as they waited for Feng Mingyu's army to catch up, the two armies would be able to destroy the Yan army by joining forces.

So, after he and Wang Yue signed the contract, he had actually been hiding for most of the day. When he thought that Feng Mingyu's reinforcements were about to arrive, he couldn't help but smile, feeling that victory was in sight.

What he didn't expect was that after Wang Yue finished signing and returned to the team, he suddenly shouted,

"Who will help me take down King Pingnan's head?"

King Pingnan returned to his own square formation, and looking at Wang Yue's troops from across the rows of chariots, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Ha, ha, ha! Let's see who dares!"

Just as his wild laughter died down, a man rode up behind him and shouted,

"I come!"

King Pingnan was horrified. He turned around quickly and saw a cold broadsword coming towards his neck.

He had no time to dodge and only felt dizzy. The whole world was spinning in front of him, and finally with a bang, he fell into darkness.

After Feng Zi killed the King of Pingnan, he picked up the King of Pingnan's head, turned his horse's head towards the soldiers behind him, snorted coldly,

"I am Zifeng from the Yan Family Army! The traitor King Pingnan is dead. Don't resist in vain! Otherwise, I will kill you without mercy!"

When King Pingnan's army saw that King Pingnan was dead, the morale of the army was in chaos. Some of King Pingnan's diehard followers had no time to resist and were hacked to death by the people arranged by Zifeng.

The Yan family army watched eagerly but did not attack, just watching Zifeng subdue the right wing army of the King of Pingnan with his own strength. 3928818.

Chapter 30: The Yan family will never let you down!

After cleaning up the mess, Wang Yue led the Yan Army and Zi Feng to set up a trap. When Feng Mingyu led the left army to the imperial city, they simply surrounded the left army.

When Feng Mingyu saw Zifeng standing next to Wang Yue, he said angrily, "Feng Zi, you were originally a bandit. The prince saw that you were a talent, so he promoted you in such an exceptional way. I didn't expect you to turn evil into a betrayal. You are simply a shameless villain!"

Zifeng shook his head indifferently, and immediately corrected him, saying, "You are wrong. I am Zifeng from the Yan Family Army. Following the King of Pingnan was originally a scheme. How can I judge the master?"

Feng Mingyu didn't expect that this was all Wang Yue's trick. He was so frightened by when he started planning this.

He was also afraid that the night would be long and he was even more afraid that there were traitors among his men. He did not say any more nonsense and shouted, "Revenge for the prince! Kill them!"

Sometimes what you fear will come true. As Feng Mingyu roared, an arrow suddenly came from behind him and hit him right on the back of the neck. He fell off his horse.

Feng Mingyu never dreamed that King Pingnan had so many traitors under his command. Before he landed, he looked back unwillingly, only to find the bow and arrow that Xie Wei had just retrieved.

However, he no longer had the energy to say another word and fell into darkness.

The leader of King Pingnan's left army was dead, and the others were in a panic and at a loss, not knowing what to do next. They did not charge forward and just stood there stupidly.

Xie Wei took this opportunity to shout, "I am Xue Dingfei, one of the three hundred loyal souls. Duke Yan is my uncle, and I am also a member of the Yan Family Army. Today we will only kill the ringleader, and the others will be freed if they surrender their weapons!"

Following his order, dozens of people who were loyal to King Pingnan had no time to react and were also killed by the deputy generals around him. Although it caused a commotion, it was quickly quelled.

Without the loyal followers of Prince Pingnan, the remaining soldiers had no choice but to surrender to Xie Wei immediately.

At this time, Xie Wei had no intention of interfering with the military power. He handed over the task of reorganizing the troops to the Yan family army, while he and Wang Yue arrived at the city gate.

Wang Yue looked at the stunned Duke Xue on the city wall and said sarcastically, "Duke Xue, is it your turn to fulfill your promise now?

You said in front of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and the people of the city that whoever wins between me and the King of Pingnan will take the throne!"

Of course, Duke Xue saw everything under the city. He saw Wang Yue destroy the King of Pingnan in the blink of an eye, and he also heard the scene of Xie Wei subduing the left wing of the King of Pingnan's army.

He was now burning with rage, he didn't expect to be tricked by that little brat Wang Yue. It turned out that the Yan Army had already arranged people undercover under the command of King Pingnan, just waiting for him to be fooled.

What's more, what shocked Duke Xue the most was that Xie Wei was actually Xue Dingfei!

He was the son whom he despised and finally abandoned!

Duke Xue had been fighting with Xie Wei in the court for four years, but he never expected that this guy was so well hidden.

He looked towards the west unconsciously, not knowing how long it would take for his reinforcements to arrive. For a moment he was undecided whether to surrender or fight to the death!

Xie Wei noticed Duke Xue's actions and sneered, "Duke Ding, are you still waiting for your reinforcements?"

Xue Yuan looked at Xie Wei's calm and handsome face and suddenly had a bad feeling. This Young Master Xie was the best at calculating. Could it be that he really figured it out?

As expected, Xie Wei did not wait for Duke Xue to answer, and said indifferently, "You don't think that your connections in the army can match my twenty years of sleeping on straw and eating bitter food, as well as the reputation of Duke Yan and his son!"

Xue Yuan got furious when he heard this. He said excitedly, "What did you do to Ye'er?"

Xie Wei looked at Xue Yuan's nervous expression, but he didn't expect that this shameless guy actually had someone he cared about. They were both his sons, but why was there such a big difference in the attitude towards them!

He was furious, and his gaze towards Xue Yuan became even colder. He said in a cold voice, "I'm afraid Xue Ye is still being held by the Northwest Border Army. If Duke Xue refuses to cooperate, your son may have to die for his country!"

Xue Yuan felt a chill all over his body when he was looked at by this smile. He even stuttered when he spoke, "Beast, beast! That's your brother!"

When Xie Wei heard this, he couldn't hold back his laughter any longer. His laughter was filled with seven parts of ridicule and three parts of sadness.

"Brother? That's ridiculous. When did you ever treat me as your son?"

Wang Yue watched the duel between father and son and suddenly felt that he still had a lot to learn.

If he didn't have Xie Wei's means and You Fangyin's financial resources in this life, even if he had an army of 200,000, he might just be a pawn.

Wang Yue couldn't help but wonder if Xie Wei had a backup plan in this imperial city. Otherwise, why would Xie Wei tell him not to rush to attack the city?

In fact, it was true. When everyone's attention was on the South Gate and the duel between father and son, the East Gate was suddenly opened.

The Yan army had been blocking the city gate, and taking advantage of this opportunity, they immediately broke into the imperial city and took control of Kyoto in one fell swoop.

Xue Yuan's gang was still struggling to survive, but they didn't expect that there were still rebels in the city. They were caught off guard and were all taken down in one fell swoop.

Seeing that the situation was settled, Xie Wei stopped talking nonsense with Xue Yuan and followed the army into the city.

When Wang Yue and Xie Wei were entering the city, he asked curiously, "Cousin, I remember that most of your people have already left the city, and the Xingwu Guards have cleared them out several times. Why are there still your accomplices in Kyoto?"

Xie Wei knew what Wang Yue was worried about, so he sneered, "That's Xue Yuan's own fault. The parents and relatives of the three hundred loyal souls 20 years ago still remember the scene of their sons' unjust deaths. They have long hated the Xue and Shen families, but they just never had the chance!"

Wang Yue heard Xie Wei's words simply, but he knew that Xie Wei must have contributed to this. Thinking of the country that was within his grasp, he hesitated for a moment and asked, "Cousin, what do you want?"

Xie Wei understood Wang Yue's thoughts. He stopped in front of the Xue family members who were kneeling and begging for mercy, and then said quietly, "I want the lives of the Xue family!"

Wang Yue thought about the situation in the play and found that this time Xie Wei actually let the Shen family go.
