The continent of the sea, the Yantian Dynasty.

Four months have passed since the closure of the Temple of Nirvana, but the Yantian Dynasty is still in raging war.

Since the Hai Family and Fei Yu Pavilion jointly attacked the Black Smoke Mountains, although King Liao Xie led his army to resist the attacks of the Hai Family and Fei Yu Pavilion in the Black Smoke Mountains, civil strife in the Yantian Dynasty inevitably broke out.

When Yan Tiandu was still there, even Yan Mingde, the emperor of the Yantian Dynasty, succumbed to Yan Tiandu's lewd power. And the big and small forces in the Yantian Dynasty did not dare to make any move.

But as soon as Yan Tiandu died, they were like wild horses running wild and began to stir up trouble. The same was true for Yan Mingde, the emperor of the Yantian Dynasty.

When Yan Tiandu was around, Yan Mingde did not completely control the Yantian Dynasty. Now that Yan Tiandu is dead, Yan Mingde is like there is no tightening curse on his head. He wants to completely control the Yantian Dynasty, but before the Yantian Dynasty,

Among them, including King Liaoxie, they did not want Yan Mingde to control the Yantian Dynasty.

However, Yan Mingde was the emperor of the Yantian Dynasty and had supreme power. In order to control the Yantian Dynasty, Yan Mingde used Haijia and Feiyu Pavilion to attack the Black Smoke Mountains and suppress King Liaoxie in the Black Smoke Mountains.

After the backlash, Yan Mingde took action against Yan Mingzheng.

Yan Mingzheng is the son of Yan Mingde, but Yan Mingde doesn't like Yan Mingzheng. After all, in the Yantian Dynasty, some people are rumoring that Yan Mingzheng is the son of King Liaoxie. Yan Mingde himself has some doubts, but he can't do this kind of thing

Admitted, otherwise, where is his majesty?

Previously, Yan Tiandu ordered Yan Mingzheng to marry Qiu Xueyu as a princess.

Although he didn't know Yan Tiandu's specific purpose, Yan Mingde knew that if Yan Mingzheng really married Qiu Xueyu, and with the support of those left behind by Yan Tiandu, Yan Mingzheng would definitely become the crown prince of the Yantian Dynasty.

Therefore, he wanted Yan Mingzheng to die.

But what he didn't expect was that in the face of the pursuit of Haijia and Feiyu Pavilion, Yan Mingzheng took control of the three legions early.

In the battle of the Silent Mountains, although the three legions suffered heavy losses, and even General Qiao Shanxiu died in the battle, Yan Mingzheng relied on the three legions to withstand the attacks of Haijia and Feiyu Pavilion.

Without his orders, General Luo Hua suddenly sent troops to the Silence Mountains and rescued Yan Mingzheng from the hands of Haijia and Feiyu Pavilion.

This made Yan Mingde look extremely ugly.

Luo Hua was promoted by him, but he didn't expect that she would betray him at this time.

However, Yan Mingde was not willing to let Yan Mingzheng come back, so he named Yan Mingzheng the King of Zhenbei and ordered him to guard the Silent Mountains. At the same time, he mobilized the imperial guards to go north to station outside the Silent Mountains in the name of dealing with Haijia and Feiyu Pavilion.

Guangfu City was heavily fortified and headed south.

At the same time, Yan Mingde ordered Qiu Xueyu to return to Yantian City.

Although Yan Mingde didn't know why Qiu Xueyu was favored by Yan Tiandu, he also knew that the reason why Qiu Xueyu was favored by Yan Tiandu must have some secret. Therefore, he did not deny it before figuring out the secret of Qiu Xueyu.

Qiu Xueyu's identity as the crown princess. And Qiu Xueyu is the person recognized by Yan Tiandu. Those diehards of Yan Tiandu will eliminate Qiu Xueyu before they are resolved, which will cause a huge backlash.

Therefore, he issued an order to test Qiu Xueyu.

However, Yan Mingde felt that Qiu Xueyu would not return to Yantian City at this time, even if he ordered it.

After all, Qiu Xueyu's return to Yantian City is a sheep entering the tiger's mouth.

But what he never expected was that when his decree came to Qiu Xueyu, Qiu Xueyu returned to Yantian City with the Yanlong Guard without saying a word.

This made Yan Mingde confused about Qiu Xueyu's purpose.

Could it be that Qiu Xueyu couldn't see the situation clearly, so she returned to Yantian City?

But once Yan Tiandu died, the Yanlong Guard was in Qiu Xueyu's hands. The Yanlong Guard was the elite in Yan Tiandu's hands, and there were many talents among them. Even if Qiu Xueyu couldn't see the situation clearly, it was impossible for the people in the Yanlong Guard not to be able to see clearly.

.

This made Yan Mingde puzzled.

However, Qiu Xueyu returned to Yantian City, catching Yan Mingde off guard.

Under forced circumstances, Qiu Xueyu could only be arranged to live in the palace of the Crown Princess with the courtesy of the Crown Princess.

An empire cannot only have a princess but no prince. Although Yan Tiandu ordered Yan Mingzheng to marry Qiu Xueyu, Yan Mingzheng was not named the prince after all. Therefore, at this moment, Yan Mingde's sons began to take action.

None of the princes of the Yantian Dynasty is a simple figure, and there is a group of forces behind them, and this is the reason why Yan Mingde has never established a prince.

In the past, with Yan Tiandu here, they didn't dare to cause too much trouble.

But now that Yan Tiandu is dead, Yan Mingde's prestige is not enough, and under Qiu Xueyu's instigation, the battle to seize the direct line completely breaks out.

If it weren't for Yan Mingde's control of the Imperial Guard and the Royal Forest Army, and the support of the Yan family's Presbyterian Council behind it, the Yantian Dynasty might have been split long ago.

In the palace of Yantian City, Yan Mingde lost his temper.

As the emperor of the Yantian Dynasty, he had an intelligence network in his hands. At this time, he naturally knew that Qiu Xueyu was behind the battle to seize the heir.

But Qiu Xueyu was surrounded by experts from the Yanlong Guard. Even if he wanted to send someone to assassinate Qiu Xueyu, he couldn't do it.

And his good sons, for the sake of the position of prince, did not take him seriously at all.

"Damn bitch, if I had known earlier, I should have killed you instead of letting you return to Yantian City." Yan Mingde's eyes were cold and he was extremely angry.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to be angry."

At this moment, an old man in black came to Yan Mingde and said: "It may not be a bad thing if the battle for the inheritance breaks out this time."

"How do you say that?" Yan Mingde raised his eyebrows and asked unexpectedly: "Is this still beneficial to me?"

This old man in black is Zhao Wenmei, the prime minister in black of the Yantian Dynasty, and a confidant of Yan Mingde. Otherwise, if others had said this, Yan Mingde would have been furious and killed him.

"Your Majesty, if you want to centralize power, you should let everyone behind you step out." Zhao Wenmei said.

"You mean to use this opportunity to uproot them?" Yan Mingde frowned.

It was the best way to use the battle to lure the snake out of the hole and catch them all in one go. But he was not sure that he would catch them all after they all jumped out. After all, Yan Tiandu's prestige in the Yantian Dynasty was too strong before.

Although Yan Tiandu abdicated the throne, most of the power was still in his hands. Although he was the emperor of Yantian Dynasty, he was no different from a puppet. Over the past thousand years, although he gradually took back

Rights, but still not much. In addition, Yan Tiandu died too suddenly this time. He was not prepared at all. Now he has insufficient power in his hands.

"Your Majesty, you can join forces vertically and horizontally." Zhao Wenmei said.

"Zhao Wenmei, you don't want to make a joke, do you?" Yan Mingde's face darkened.

Countries and countries, countries and families, and countries and sects can be linked vertically and horizontally.

But he and his sons are in league with each other? What is this?

This is to let others know, wouldn't it mean to laugh at his strict moral incompetence?

"Your Majesty, joining forces vertically and horizontally does not mean condescending." Zhao Wenmei said: "As long as your Majesty makes a decree, this battle for the inheritance can be made invisible."

"You mean the crown prince?" Yan Mingde's eyes turned cold.

Granting the crown prince can naturally solve the problem.

But after he was granted the title of Crown Prince, how did he centralize power?

If he didn't centralize power, how could he completely control the Yantian Dynasty?

"No, Your Majesty only needs to let Qiu Xueyu choose the prince." Zhao Wenmei said.

"Let Qiu Xueyu choose the prince?"

Yan Mingde frowned.

"Yes, Qiu Xueyu is the crown prince recognized by the ancestors of Tiandu, but she gave up Yan Mingzheng and returned to Yantian City. It is obvious that she did not want to marry Yan Mingzheng. And since she is the crown prince, she must marry the prince. If she is allowed

She will choose it herself. The people of Tiandu Ancestor will definitely support her fully, and the attention of other princes will naturally be on Qiu Xueyu. By then, this turmoil will be gone." Zhao Wenmei said.

"What if Qiu Xueyu chooses the prince?" Yan Mingde immediately understood what Zhao Wenmei meant.

This is to move the trouble eastward. By then, everyone's eyes will be focused on Qiu Xueyu. And he can reap the benefits. But if Qiu Xueyu really chooses the crown princess, then their plan will be

The success fell short.

"Your Majesty, Qiu Xueyu will not choose the prince, at least not in a short period of time." Zhao Wenmei said.

"How do you say it?" Yan Mingde asked.

"Between the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, which one is the most important? If Qiu Xueyu did not choose the Crown Prince, the people of Tiandu Ancestor, including Yanlongwei, would stand by Qiu Xueyu's side, but if Qiu Xueyu chose the Crown Prince, then, these

People must be loyal to the prince, and when the time comes, Qiu Xueyu's role will be greatly reduced. Qiu Xueyu speaks lightly, but without the support of the ancestors of Tiandu, she is nothing." Zhao Wenmei said.

Yan Mingde nodded after hearing this.

Qiu Xueyu is just a woman from a small family and has no power behind her. Even if she has a shocking secret, without influence, she can only be slaughtered by others.

"Your Majesty, this is probably the reason why Qiu Xueyu returned to Yantian City under your order." Zhao Wenmei said.

"Zhao Wenmei, I'll leave this matter to you." Yan Mingde's eyes flashed.

"I will definitely not disappoint His Majesty." Zhao Wenmei said quickly.

One day later, a decree came from the palace.

"What, let Qiu Xueyu choose the prince?"

"What's going on?"

"What does your Majesty want to do?"

"how so?"

After hearing the content of this decree, everyone was in an uproar.

Is there anyone in the world who chooses a prince like this?

Especially the princes who were eyeing the position of crown prince were dumbfounded. But they immediately reacted and came to the palace of the crown prince one by one, asking to see Qiu Xueyu.

In the Crown Princess Palace, Crown Princess Qiu Xueyu looked at the content of the decree, her eyes turned cold, and then asked Guo Xiaoyan next to her: "Guo Xiaoyan, Xiong Yanyun, what do you think of this decree?"

Guo Xiaoyan was recalled three months ago after he returned to the Yantian Dynasty. And with Guo Xiaoyan, there was also Xiong Yanyun.

"Qiu Xueyu, the purpose of this decree is to make you the target of public criticism." Guo Xiaoyan looked at Qiu Xueyu and said: "With this decree, not only the princes in Yantian City are watching you, but also Yan Tiandu's subordinates.

Looking at you, I may even force you to choose."

"You mean...?" Qiu Xueyu's face turned extremely ugly.

"Yeah." Guo Xiaoyan nodded, confirming Qiu Xueyu's guess.

"If this is the case, what should I do..." Qiu Xueyu asked.
