Joy of Life: I'm really not a saint

"All the plans I made were naturally for Qing Kingdom!"

"Haha, it's just a trick." Li An recounted the incident one by one: "He pretended to support the crown prince, but he actually supported the second prince. He instigated the two sons of Emperor Qing to take revenge on Emperor Qing. Unexpectedly, Emperor Qing used this to train the crown prince. It's also the crown prince's fault that he is not ambitious and cannot be trained. There is no winner on both sides."

"Privately contacting Zhuang Mohan to falsely accuse Fan Xian of plagiarizing the poem "Climbing the High Mountain" and making Fan Xian a great writer, it is a complete loss."

"You framed Yan Bingyun and released Xiao En back to Northern Qi in the name of exchange, which eventually led to your transfer from Kyoto to your fiefdom Xinyang by Emperor Qing. This was a failure among failures."

"In the end, after being caught by Emperor Qing for having an affair with the Crown Prince, he had no choice but to rebel. Even Yan Xiaoyi, who was your favorite arm before, was brought up by you since childhood after you killed his parents. But in the end, he was captured by me. He was truly a failure beyond words."

"All of these things, apart from highlighting your incompetence, only prove one thing - you have provided zero help to Qing Country! Everything you did was just for yourself!"

Stroking the sharp blade in his hand, Li An added the final blow: "Apart from the blood relationship, if I were Emperor Qing, I would also look down on such a loser!"

Snapped!

Li Yunrui slammed the stone table hard, stood up angrily, and shouted: "I will use men at all costs, make men my tool to fight for power, and eventually surpass Ye Qingmei and become someone that even the emperor brother will kneel down to."

"Are you satisfied with this answer?"

Everyone could see that Li Yunrui was furious. In her anger, she ignored her appearance and the red hairpin on her head fell to the ground, causing her long black hair to flutter and sway in the breeze.

It looks like it has a bit of madness!

Now that the war outside the city has begun, Li An can even guess what Li Yunrui is thinking and planning at this moment.

The second prince looked similar to Fan Xian. When Li An first met them, they looked like they were looking in a mirror. Li Yunrui felt sick when she looked at the second prince's face. While she supported the crown prince on the surface, she also supported the second prince, but this was only the first level. On a deeper level, she always supported the crown prince.

I ask, can any sane person do this?

This is the reason why the two are evenly matched today!

But what if all this is just for herself? Does this explain the back-and-forth operation?

Now, regardless of the fight between the two princes, she used the Prince of Heqin behind Ning Cairen as a bargaining chip, and wanted to make a deal with me as the Imperial Master of Northern Qi. Her madness made Li An look sideways.

In the backyard of the royal villa, everyone stared at Li Yunrui in amazement, their jaws hanging open.

Besides being shocked, they were more filled with fear and relief!

They were horrified that they had lived with such a lunatic for so many years. Fortunately, they finally knew Li Yunrui's true face today. From now on, no matter what she said, they would not easily accept it!

Among these people, the Queen was the most deeply touched.

She also resented Ye Qingmei, believing that she was the one who influenced and changed Emperor Qing, and at the same time, took away the love that Emperor Qing should have for her.

But despite her madness, the Queen was limited in her wisdom and did not cause too much trouble. She could not even think of rebelling against Emperor Qing and the Queen Mother. She was far from being as ruthless as the eldest princess!

She stared at Li Yunrui's figure, murderous intent rising in her heart, and she wished that Li An would kill this bitch right now!

"You will never be able to surpass Ye Qingmei!"

Whether it was Chen Pingping and Emperor Qing before, or Li An now, even Si Gu Jian, Ku He, and Ye Liuyun of Junshan Society could kill Li Yunrui if they wanted to.

After all, these people put national affairs first.

Li Yunrui took advantage of this to develop the Junshan Society and mess around, becoming the number one troublemaker in Joy of Life. It was a coincidence.

But no one will spoil her now!

"Come here, kill him!"

Li An's last words broke Li Yunrui's defense and she lost her mind.

Chapter 359 A shocking reversal!

"I'm not killing you now, just because you shouldn't die in my hands."

Li An shook his head and thought about what he had promised Yan Xiaoyi.

After hearing no one responding to Li Yunrui outside the yard for a long time, he knew that these people had been frightened by the killing and felt bored, so he decided not to stay here.

"Cherish the time you have now. Maybe you can spend more time with your daughter? Hehehe."

Li An turned and left, Ning Cairen followed closely behind him, and even picked up a long gun and held it in his hand when he passed a dead body.

As the two left, Li Yunrui smiled foolishly.

Concubine Yi was so frightened that she shrank her head.

Hearing this, the queen became furious.

······

At this time, the imperial guards were stationed in the square inside the east gate of the city, between the city gate and the imperial palace.

When Li An brought Ning Cairen to the scene, Li Chengzong's expression was indescribably wonderful.

"You can ask your mother about what happened."

After Li An told his plan, he added: "Now that Master Ku He is in the Prince's Mansion, no one can touch the princess. Moreover, she is the eldest princess of Northern Qi and the elder sister of the current emperor. We will keep her safe."

Li Chengzong nodded and said no more.

And his silence also made Ang Lee understand a lot.

Li Chengzong's mother was from Dongyi City, but he himself was the son of Emperor Qing. If he was asked to lead troops to raid the prince's rear, he might not be able to get over it.

Gujin Ning Cairen was no longer controlled by others. While he breathed a sigh of relief, he also made up his mind not to defend himself and wait for the outcome!

He and Ning Cairen had received great favors from Ye Qingmei, and their greatest hope was that Fan Xian could ascend to the throne. However, now that Fan Xian had teamed up with Li An to kill Emperor Qing, Li Chengzong's heart was in turmoil, and he couldn't sort it out for a long time.

"I won't force you to do anything right now. Instead, I'll give you enough time to think. But please don't think too long, or even do anything stupid!"

"This is for the princess, and even more for your mother!"

Despite Li An's threats, Li Chengzong couldn't get angry at this time.

He has been a soldier all his life and doesn't care about all those empty words. Now he just wants to protect his family. Hearing this, he made his promise silently.

Shortly after Li An disappeared in the camp, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the morning breeze.

This is the Qin family's messenger.

"Commander, a messenger has arrived!"

".killed!"

"Yes!"

As the soldiers left, there was a sound of fighting coming from outside.

However, these noises came suddenly and went away quickly. Half an hour later, a new messenger arrived and Li Chengzong repeated the action.

This imperial army camp became a forbidden area.

"My son has grown up!" Ning Cairen held Li Chengzong's head in her arms and stroked it gently, as if to wipe away all the troubles in his heart.

······

At the edge of the city wall, Li Chengqian gritted his teeth and carried out the plan he had decided at the beginning.

Even without the help of the imperial guards, he still has many civil and military ministers supporting him!

"Damn Li Chengzong! Damn it! Damn it!"

Li Chengqian's face was filled with resentment, and he kept cursing the Queen Mother and his dead father. "Damn old woman, she insisted on playing a balance game. Now, no one can control the Imperial Guards, and they have become a thorn hanging behind us, and we don't know when they will stab us! And father, a bastard like this with the blood of Dongyi City should not be entrusted with important tasks. It's really stupid!"

"He is the only one who is the most qualified heir to the Qing Kingdom. No one can take him away!"

From below the other side of the city wall, an ominous sound was heard, as if the heavy gate of Kyoto was opened by someone.

When Li Chengqian heard the noise, he quickly crouched and lowered his head, and asked his personal guards in another direction to raise a large flag to indicate the direction to the rebels entering the city.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"The city has been breached, capture and kill the false emperor!"

"Make meritorious deeds, just today!"

These are people who are willing to sacrifice their lives for the sake of serving the emperor.

But where is the second prince now?

There is no sound of horse hooves, no sound of weapons and armor colliding. When there are a large number of people in a space, all sounds will disappear. As the saying goes, great sounds are silent, and great elephants are invisible.

Now everyone in the field is sensitive and cannot withstand the slightest stimulation.

When the beacon fires were lit in the other direction of Li Chengqian, the emperor who had only been emperor for two days suddenly turned his head and stared at the beacon towers, his pupils shrinking slightly. After a moment, he stood up regardless, pulled the crowd like a madman, and ran towards Qin Ye who was still fighting fiercely with Ye Zhong, shouting as he ran: "We all guessed wrong! We all guessed wrong!"

"Surrender! You have misjudged the Second Prince's intention!"

Ye Chong and Qin Ye were facing each other from a distance, and the fight in the field seemed to be caught in a strange balance, with the two sides maintaining a confrontation in the fight.

The expression on Qin Ye's face was extremely solemn, and he just nodded when he heard it.

They knew that Zhang Deqing, one of the Thirteen City Gates, was a rebel, and they also guessed that the rebels would enter the capital from Zhengyang Gate. But surprisingly, the rebels were not only confident, they had misjudged the number of people!

Why did the rebels enter the capital from nine city gates at the same time?

"I did guess wrong, but where did you get so many soldiers?" Qin Ye was puzzled. Although he did not expect Ye Chong to answer him, he still asked the question in his mind.

"It's nothing to answer you."

Ye Zhong smiled slightly, as if he was appreciating the expression of his old rival after his defeat. Under the encouragement of his true energy, his words reached his ears: "Most of your soldiers are prepared by the princess for you. The rest are your Qin family's troops and the Kyoto garrison division."

"But the Second Prince has already taken the generals of several state armies into his possession!"

Qin Ye, who was sitting on the horse, took a breath of cold air and was horrified!

How long has it been since the late emperor passed away?

The Second Prince dared to act like this under the nose of Emperor Qing. Did he really think that Emperor Qing couldn't see it?

Nine city gates were broken, and the rebels pressed down the city with an upright force. A terrible roar rang out at the scene! In just a moment, smoke rose from all directions in Kyoto!

Qin Ye pushed the frightened horse and shouted at Ye Zhong: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"Why don't you believe it?"

Ye Zhong smiled slightly. Although his smile was bitter, he admired his son-in-law more and more. "At the beginning, even I was kept in the dark. I think His Majesty should have noticed something. But how confident is our Majesty? Maybe he wanted to wait until the Dadong Mountain Heavenly Sacrifice before returning to the capital to clean up the situation. But he didn't expect that he would never come back!"

Thinking of all that the Ye family has sacrificed for the Kingdom of Qing over the years: he became the Second Prince's undercover agent for Emperor Qing, his daughter married the Second Prince, Ye Liuyun, the Grand Master, had not returned home for so many years, and later had his limbs cut off and became disabled, and he even paid with his life in the battle of Mount Dadong and endured so many years, the Ye family was happy to endure this endless sacrifice.

It has already reached the limit!

Thinking of this, Ye Zhong became even more ruthless!

Chapter 360 The Second Prince emerges as the victor.

"Everything has been arranged so long ago. Isn't the Second Prince worried that His Majesty will return successfully?" Qin Ye shouted.

"so what?"

"If you become the Second Prince, you will ascend to the throne. If you lose, you will just die!" Ye Zhong was speaking as a winner. At the same time, he intensified his deployment, not giving the other side any chance to turn the tables or even break out. "Don't you think about it? Without the Second Prince's instructions and deployment, would the soldiers of Dongyi City be able to enter the country so easily? Even if they came from the sea, Kyoto is not by the sea!"

While Ye Zhong was excited, wasn't he also surprised and delighted by his son-in-law's actions?

I was surprised at my son-in-law's audacity, but I was also happy at his far-reaching plan.

Little did he know that all this was caused by the letter Li An sent to the Second Prince and his previous divination about the Second Prince.

It was unknown when Li Chengze began to feel that he was powerless in the hands of Emperor Qing.

When Northern Qi spies spread Fan Xian's life experience in the capital and even exposed the scandal between Crown Prince Li Chengqian and the eldest princess, Li Chengze smelled an opportunity!

An opportunity to completely possess your own power and turn the tables!

Li An told Li Chengze that the eldest princess would help the prince in the end because Li Chengze looked similar to Fan Xian.

Surprisingly, such a far-fetched reason made Li Chengze believe it!

To use the words in Li An's letter, if he relied solely on Li Yunrui, he would not be able to blame anyone else if he failed and died in the end.

Therefore, Li Chengze made the crazy move of mobilizing the state army at all costs and showing his courage to launch the plan, ready to die if he failed!

Li Chengze was pleased. It was a pity that his actions could not be seen by his father. If he were still alive, he would be relieved to see what he had done. There would be no need to fight for it. The throne would be passed on to him by his father.

Outside the Zhengyang Gate in Kyoto, the loess was crushed by the hooves of the galloping horses, and then lifted up by the iron hooves, turning it into a cloud of dust and smoke, which spread out and slowly rose.

Under the sunlight, a puff of yellow smoke took shape.

Ye Zhong waved the command flag in his hand, and the remaining 5,000 cavalrymen under his command rushed towards Zhengyang Gate in rows of five!
