When Linghu Kuangyu heard this, he also sat down on the ground.

Their last hope was blocked by Li Ye's words.

Li Fei was so angry that she couldn't speak and pointed at Li Ye blankly.

"So that's it. It turns out that before you left the imperial city and went to southern Xinjiang, you had already prepared all the ambush for what happened today. I didn't expect that I was his biological son, but he handed over the formation to you."

Xia Yunjie finally gave up on the idea of ​​the army coming to rescue him in the city.

Looking at the mother and son, the eldest prince said: "Second brother, do you know? I didn't want to compete with you for this position. As long as you can stay in the imperial city well and manage the dynasty well, I just want to stay quietly.

Be my military marshal in southern Xinjiang."

Xia Yunjie pointed at him and cursed: "Does it still make sense for you to say this now?"

Linghu Kuangyu, You Prime Minister and others also looked at the eldest prince blankly.

The eldest prince looked at him and said seriously: "Even if we take the White Jade City, I still want to discuss it with you before making a decision, but you should not borrow troops from the Beihai Islands!"

When Xia Yunjie heard this, he was stunned on the spot. He turned back to look at His Highness, the Prime Minister, and was so angry that he could not speak.

"If we two brothers continue to fight, it's just our family matter. But if you drag the Beihai Islands into it, that's traitorous! What do you want me to do?"

In the face of righteousness, the eldest prince finally chose to stand with Li Ye.

This is no longer just a fight for the throne, but a major event involving the safety of the five regions for decades to come. He will not give in in front of everyone.

Xia Yunjie lowered his head and remained silent, staring at Concubine Li blankly.

"So, you are coming to hunt down our orphans and widows?" Li Fei looked at him and hoarse. She had been completely desperate, starting from the moment the eldest prince appeared.

She knew that the fact that the woman outside the imperial city hadn't appeared yet meant that Li Ye had taken control of the situation.

And Xia Yunjie was also desperate. The gang of killers he kept in the palace had not shown up yet, which meant that they had been destroyed by Xia Yunlan's people.

Just overnight, the world changed.

Li Ye looked at the two of them and said indifferently: "What to do with you mother and son, that is a matter for the Grand Marshal. I will not interfere. I have already promised him and Her Highness the Princess."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Li turned to look at the eldest prince and Xia Wutong, who were sitting down.

Xia Wutong was flustered when she saw him. He pointed at the eldest prince and said, "I obey my brother's arrangements in everything."

"Now that things have happened, are you still willing? Or do you think that someone outside the palace will come to rescue you? In this case, let's wait. I'm not in a hurry."

After Ning Que finished, he patted Zhe Xia Wutong's shoulder again, wanting to give her strength.

Li Fei was trembling all over, looked at Xia Yunjie and said, "Where are the people under your command? Where have they gone?"

"Their heads are hanging at the entrance to the imperial city now, and they can't come!" Xia Yunlan, who had been silent, finally spoke.

Dozens of black-clothed guards, except ten who were left to protect the eldest prince and Xia Wutong, all followed Li Ye into the palace last night. If anyone was familiar with the palace, there was probably no one else except them.

"We are here!" An old voice came from outside the Golden Palace.

As soon as he finished speaking, the emperor's uncle Xia Yuan and Nalan Kunxuan walked in.

Looking at the scene in front of them, the two of them bowed to Concubine Li and Xia Yunjie first, and then to the eldest prince and Xia Wutong.

"We have met the Grand Marshal, the Princess, and the Imperial Master." The two said in unison.

When Xia Wutong saw Xia Yuan coming in, he couldn't help but jump up from his chair, ran over and took his hand and said, "Grandpa Huang, why don't you come to southern Xinjiang to see me? I almost died in Bai Jade City.

"

When Xia Yuan heard this, he stared hard, reached out to grab her little hand, and searched her meridians attentively. After a long while, he angrily pointed at a group of courtiers in the palace and cursed.

"You bastards, do you even want my little granddaughter's life? Come and try on me if you have the guts."

Xia Yunjie was so frightened that he almost fell off the dragon chair and stared at Xia Yuan in shock, not daring to say a word.

To say who had the most prestige in the dynasty back then, it was none other than Xia Yuan in front of him. Even the emperor had to call out his uncle's presence when he was there.

Gently putting down Xia Wutong's little hand, Xia Yuan looked at her and asked: "Who hurt you? Tell me and I will make the decision for you!"

Xia Wutong looked at him and shook his head, and said softly: "I don't know. Those killers had their heads chopped off by Junior Brother and Commander Xia. It is said that they were later hung on the south gate of the imperial city."

Xia Yuan raised his head and looked at Xia Yunlan who was standing next to the eldest prince. Xia Yunlan did not speak, but just nodded to him.

Just this nod has explained the cause of all the problems.

Xia Yuan did not question Xia Yunjie, Li Fei, Linghu Kuangyu and others. He just looked up at a group of courtiers and asked quietly: "Is this court meeting today going to decide anything?"

The corner of the right prime minister's mouth moved but he said nothing.

The left minister glanced at the right minister and said: "The generalissimo and the imperial advisor believe that the second prince should not sit on the emperor's throne."

"So, have you made a decision?" Xia Yuan continued to ask.

This time, Prime Minister Bian Zuo also shut his mouth. He didn't want to resist this thunder.

Xia Yuan looked at Concubine Li sitting on the golden palace and asked coldly: "For thousands of years, at court meetings, can concubines from the harem also sit on it and participate in politics?"

Concubine Li was stunned, she never expected that Xia Yuan would come to the palace at this time.

Feeling wronged, she replied unwillingly: "Uncle, even if you say this, we must not allow outsiders to bully us orphans and widowed mothers, right?"

Xia Yuan asked calmly: "Tell me who is an outsider in this court. If so, I will deal with it."

When Concubine Li heard this, her face became paler, and she couldn't help but point at Li Ye and said, "Isn't he? The new emperor has deprived him of his national advisor, how can he still stand in the court?"

"So that's it. As far as I know, the Imperial Master was conferred by the Emperor, not you, the Imperial Concubine? In my opinion, he is the real Imperial Master of my dynasty."

Xia Yuan looked at Li Fei and replied coldly.

After Linghu Kuangyu heard these words, he collapsed on the ground. Xia Yuan's words had stripped him of his identity as a national master.

Xia Yuan did not wait for her reply and continued: "I also heard that you issued a decree to the five regions and eliminated the position of the eldest prince and generalissimo. May I ask what you did while the generalissimo was fighting the enemy in the southern border while you were hiding in the imperial city?

What?"

When all the ministers heard this, they were all so frightened that they knelt down on the Golden Palace. They knew what the new emperor had done, but no one dared to stand up and object.

Pointing at the eldest prince and Xia Wutong, Xia Yuan said: "The eldest prince and princess are making enemies in southern Xinjiang. You are cutting off grass and food here. Not only that, but you have repeatedly sent killers to attack the royal descendants. It seems that I will not be angry for a long time."

, you have already forgotten me, right?"

Xia Yuan looked at the group of ministers kneeling upwards, his beard trembling with anger.

Xia Yunjie remained silent and looked at Xia Yuan coldly, wondering what he was thinking.

At this moment, Deputy Commander Jiang Huo walked into the Golden Palace, glanced at Xia Yuan, and shook hands with him.

He walked quickly to the eldest prince and Li Ye and said in a deep voice: "All the 90,000 troops have entered the city, the four city gates have been changed, and the four military camps have been surrounded. Please speak to the generalissimo and the national advisor!"

The courtiers in the Golden Palace, Xia Qujie and Concubine Li on the dragon throne, only then realized that the situation in the imperial city had finally changed. All the southern Xinjiang troops had entered the city, and they had completely lost hope.

Li Ye pointed at the courtiers in front of him and replied to Jiang Huo: "Solve the immediate problem first, and then solve the problems of the four major military camps."

Xia Yuan glanced at Li Ye and others, stared and said, "You brought 90,000 troops into the city to rebel?"

Li Ye looked at him and shook his head, and said seriously: "I am saying this to tell you that I am not afraid of fighting or killing people."

Concubine Li was startled, looked at him and shouted: "How dare you kill the imperial guards in the city in front of the emperor's uncle?

Looking into her eyes and the unwilling look in her eyes, he said coldly: "Then, let's solve the problem of the four major military camps first."

When the eldest prince heard this, a smile finally appeared in his eyes.

Although Xia Wutong didn't understand why his brother was laughing, looking at his smiling expression, he couldn't help but laugh softly.

"Please Jiang Shuai, please go to the four major military camps and announce to them: All soldiers who lay down their weapons and are willing to surrender can retain their posts and stay in the military camps to obey military orders. Anyone who dares to resist will be punished regardless of their official position!"

"They have one hour to make a choice, otherwise the four military camps will be their graveyard!" After Li Ye said these words, he looked coldly at Xia Yuan, Li Fei and others.

"Execute him to death!" the right prime minister repeated, trembling with fear.

"Do you want to kill all the soldiers in the imperial city?" Li Fei looked at him and shouted tremblingly.

"If they want to live, they will know how to choose!" Li Ye waved to Jiang Huo and motioned for him to go and handle it quickly.

Jiang Huo cupped hands with the two of them, turned around and walked out of the golden palace.

It was only then that everyone discovered that Jiang Huo also had a golden scarf around his neck, and that he didn't even say hello to the new emperor and Xia Yuan when he entered and left the palace.

Looking at Jiang Huo's leaving figure, Li Ye turned his head and said coldly: "You can give it a try."

Xia Yuan also didn't expect that the young Imperial Master in front of him would be so heartless. He couldn't help but tremble and asked in a deep voice: "What do the Imperial Master want?"

Li looked at him and said: "Either solve the problem here first! Or wait until I solve the military camp and then solve the matter at hand. Uncle Emperor, you should understand what I mean."

Even the cold Nalan Kunxuan couldn't help but tremble slightly when he heard Li Ye's words. There were tens of thousands of living soldiers in the four major military camps.

Even though he expected a conflict, he didn't expect Li Ye to be so cold. He looked at Li Ye and murmured: "You are too cold."

The corners of the eldest prince's mouth moved, but no words came out.

Li Ye turned to look at him and said, "When you see how the soldiers of Southern Xinjiang died on the battlefield and how the killers sent by the Imperial City massacred the soldiers of Southern Xinjiang, tell me what ruthlessness is!"

Xia Yuan and Nalan Kunxuan were speechless by Li Ye, and they didn't know how to reply. The current situation was that they were stronger than others, and the second prince and Concubine Li had no choice.

Li Ye looked at the eunuch standing beside Concubine Li and said with a smile, "Is it time to invite the Imperial Concubine back to the palace?"

Yan Wuxue looked at him, then at Xia Yuan, then stepped forward and said to Concubine Li: "Please return to the palace!"

Concubine Li looked at the courtiers in front of her, then turned to look at her son, and said coldly: "Don't be afraid, they don't dare to do anything to you."

After saying these words, he stood up and walked out of the Golden Palace, followed by the maid and the serving eunuch.

Looking at Concubine Li's back, Li Ye said again: "Now, let's decide who will sit on this throne!"

Xia Yuan looked at him and asked in a deep voice: "How to decide?"

No matter it is the eldest prince or the second prince, he does not want to see brothers fighting each other and anyone being hurt.

Li Ye glanced at him, then looked at the group of courtiers in the palace, chuckled and said, "If I asked the ministers to vote by a show of hands on who will be the emperor, would they dare to raise their hands?"

Xia Yuan and Nalan Kunxuan were both stunned, looking at a group of courtiers kneeling on the ground, smiling bitterly and shaking their heads.

Li Ye looked at the expressions of the two people, turned around and pointed at the eunuch and said: "Eunuch Yan is the person close to the emperor. He has been with the emperor for decades. I think the emperor should have told him before he left.

How about we listen to his opinion?"
