Chapter 651: King Qi and King Zhan Join Forces
Beijing, War Palace
"My Lord, there is a letter for you."
"What letter?"
Ji Yunhuan opened the letter, but was shocked by its contents. His hand shook and the letter fell lightly to the ground.
A corner of pure white clothes came into view, and a bony hand picked up the letter on the ground. When he saw the contents of the letter, there was no fluctuation in his eyes.
He just turned around and looked at the dazed Zhan Wang sitting on the chair and said, "Your Majesty, what do you think of the King of Qi's proposal?"
"how?"
"This is treason!"
Ji Yunhuan never expected that the King of Qi, whom she had not contacted for a long time, would write to her. The letter proposed that they join forces to seize the capital and divide the world with her after the success.
This Ji Yue!
How dare she!
She was thinking of rebelling and usurping the throne before her own sister had even been buried. What was she thinking?
I didn't realize that this old man had such thoughts. He hid them really well.
Isn't she afraid of losing her head if she fails?
Now that the second brother is dead, no one can protect her.
"Your Highness, this is a different time now. Now that the empress has passed away and we are facing internal and external troubles, we may not have a chance of success if we act now."
Wei Liufeng thought that the time was ripe. Wouldn't he miss the opportunity if he didn't act now?
"But if it fails..."
Although the King of War is ambitious, he is still afraid of death in his heart. Wei Liufeng feels a little disappointed and a trace of disappointment flashes in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, those who want to accomplish great things cannot be hesitant, nor can they be soft-hearted."
"We have prepared so much, isn't it just to have a way to ascend to the throne one day? Now that Prince Beichen and Prince Rui have left the capital one after another, the capital is left unguarded. This is a good time to start a rebellion. If we miss this opportunity, we don't know when we will have another chance."
King Zhan frowned: "Do you mean that we should act on our own? But what if the King of Qi's troops counterattack after we capture the capital?" After all, they didn't know how many troops the King of Qi had. If they were defeated, wouldn't they offend both sides?
Wei Liufeng smiled and said, "Your Highness, we can temporarily join forces with the King of Qi to seize the capital first. As for what happens next, we will just act according to circumstances."
After listening to Wei Liufeng's analysis and weighing the pros and cons, King Zhan finally let his ambition overcome his reason.
"Sir, what you said makes sense. I will listen to you."
"If I ascend the throne one day, I will never forget your help, sir. I will be granted the title of nobility and prime minister."
Wei Liufeng's eyes flickered slightly, and he bowed with a faint smile: "It is Wei Feng's blessing to be able to serve the prince."
……
The news of the King of Qi's rebellion shocked the court and the country.
I never thought that at this critical moment, the King of Qi would rebel!
You have to know that the late emperor was the biological sister of the King of Qi. His sister had just died, but he was so eager to usurp the throne. This must have been premeditated!
It is really hard to imagine that the King of Qi, who is so arrogant and extravagant and only cares about eating, drinking and having fun, would have such a plan!
Now, several famous generals have gone to war with Prince Beichen and Prince Rui. The total strength of the capital is less than 10,000. I heard that Prince Qi has gathered 100,000 elite soldiers. What should we do now?
All the ministers were in a panic, and some even took the opportunity to suggest that a new monarch should be appointed immediately to establish the order of the country and suppress the evil intentions of some people.
Before the new monarch is appointed, people are naturally in panic, and many are ready to make moves. If the new monarch is appointed earlier, those who plot rebellion will naturally be traitors, and they will have to think twice before making a rebellion.
As soon as this proposal was put forward, it naturally attracted many people to agree with it, and they thought it was a great idea.
But those who agreed were all from the Second Princess' lineage. Now that Prince Beichen and Prince Rui were gone, the Second Princess was the only one of the right age in the court, so it was obviously obvious who should be chosen as the new emperor.
The ministers of King Rui's lineage naturally disagreed. This was clearly taking advantage of someone's misfortune!
He immediately started arguing with the other party.
