MTL - The Crown Prince Chases His Wife-Chapter 140 Palace change
At the westernmost border of Daxia, adjacent to Yizhou, there is an inaccessible mountain ridge, which is called "Qingsongling" by the locals.
The reason why Qingsongling is rarely visited is because there are many poisons in the mountain, and there are often beasts.
It is said that in the depths of this mountain range, there are mountain demons and ghosts that eat people.
If there are herbalists, woodcutters or hunters who enter the mountain, and no one dares to go deep, they are afraid that there will be no return.
There used to be a few curious young people who went into the mountain together. After getting lost in the forest, they encountered a ghost hitting the wall. When he woke up, he was already outside the forest.
Since then, there have been more and more rumors of ghosts in the mountains, and as time goes by, no one dares to enter the mountain.
The highest peak located in the southwest of Qingsongling is called "Mei Mountain", which is the Meishan Mountain where the emperor's teacher lived in seclusion.
No one knows, through the poisonous miasma deep in Qingsongling, and further west, there is a place like a paradise.
It covers an extremely wide area, surrounded by mountains on all sides, but the terrain in the middle is flat. Due to the special topographical environment, a unique climate is also formed, which is both livable and suitable for crop growth.
A gentle little river meanders through it, allowing the land to live, this river is called "Shenxi".
In the beginning, the origin of the name "Shenxi" came from a legend.
According to legend, there was a shepherd from outside Guan who was looking for the lost sheep and strayed into a Taoyuan, and the shepherd found the golden sand in the river of Taoyuan.
I don't know if this rumor is true or not. As time passed, it was gradually buried in the dust by killing and plundering.
Until many years ago, Qin Yan led people to follow a few clues to find this hidden place and named it "Shenxi Valley".
-------
Qin Yan ordered people to set up a formation around the Shenxi Valley, and arranged to patrol from time to time. Over the years, the news of this place has not been able to flow to the outside world, and it is truly isolated from the world.
In the past few years, the personnel composition in Shenxi Valley, in addition to the original retired and disabled sergeants from the Pingxi Army, as well as Daxia and Xirong, and even refugees, hermits, swordsmen, and even exiles from some small countries in the Western Regions gangster.
Under Qin Yan's powerful management, these people actually coexisted peacefully in this place, even intermarriage.
The people who live here only know that Guzhong will transport a large amount of grain from time to time. According to the identity of the grain owner Qin Yan, these grains should be used as military rations and transported to the Northwest Pingxi Army.
But no one knew that in the beginning, boxes of golden leaves were shipped out from here.
This is the origin of Yu Qingfeng, the first bank in Daxia in Qin Yan's hands, and also the origin of the large-scale Mulan Racecourse outside the Northwest Pass.
------
At the beginning of May, the Crown Princess Qin Yan took a group of subordinates, including Jiang Mu, from the northwest out of Xiaoguan to the south to Shenxi Valley.
Qin Yan ordered 100,000 soldiers to stand by in the middle of Shenxi Valley, and set the designation "Shenxi Army". These sergeants are elite soldiers who have been trained all year round, and the former Gucheng Yinjiawei also came from them.
Shenxi Valley, the main hall of the valley.
Qin Yan sat up and listened to the report of his subordinates:
"Master, the Xirong entry point, the royal capital and the royal palace have all been arranged."
"Just in case, two retreat routes have been set, and adjustments will be made according to the situation at that time."
"The detailed plan has been communicated to General Shen Ci to Xiao Guan, and General Shen asked his subordinates to tell the master that he will lead the 400,000 Pingxi Army to be ready to support at any time."
Qin Yan quickly read the marked map of Xirong Palace handed over by his subordinates, and then sent everyone back:
"Go down and prepare, Jiang Mu will stay."
At this moment, Jiang Mu still doesn't know, Qin Yan's next conversation with him will be about whether Xi Rong survives or perishes.
------
One late night in mid-May, the Xirong Palace.
Jiang Quyi, the king of Xirong, woke up in the hall. He keenly heard that there seemed to be something wrong outside, and immediately got up and listened carefully.
A Yan on the inside of the bed opened her eyes in confusion, a pair of naked lotus arms hugged the quilt and sat up weakly, she said suspiciously:
"king…"
At this moment, the urgent voice of the palace servants suddenly came from outside:
"Your Majesty, an assassin seems to have entered the palace."
A Yan exclaimed, but was stopped by Jiang Quyi, who covered her lips and stopped.
Jiang Quyi asked coldly:
"How many assassins are there?"
The palace servants outside reported:
"Your Majesty, I'm not sure about the younger ones, and I haven't seen anyone. But there seem to be shouts of killing everywhere outside, and there are also many palaces flooded."
"The strange thing is that apart from the guards outside the palace, I haven't seen other guards in the palace come to **** them for a long time. I'm afraid..."
Jiang Quyi immediately got off the bed to change clothes, and A Yan also shivered slightly and climbed off the bed and started to put on clothes in the panic.
In order to please the King of Xirong, A Yan came with only a tulle coat. At this time, she was in panic and panic, and A Yan felt cold and shivered.
Jiang Quyi took the sword and strode out of the hall. As soon as the door of the hall was opened, a sharp arrow flew from the opposite direction. Fortunately, Jiang Quyi was still agile and avoided sideways, but he would follow a few steps behind him. Yan instantly scared the ground.
"Ah..." A Yan screamed and half squatted down, hiding behind Jiang Quyi.
"Protect Your Majesty!" Dozens of guards outside the hall drew their sabers and waited.
Jiang Quyi quickly looked in the direction in which the arrows flew just now, and saw a group of unmasked men in black striding towards the temple gate.
Jiang Quyi recognized Jiang Xun, his nephew, in the group at a glance.
There is also the tall and beautiful woman in the black robe in the lead.
"Qin Yan!" A Yan, who stuck her head out behind Jiang Quyi, exclaimed in disbelief:
"It's Qin Yan! Your Majesty, kill her, kill her! That's Qin Yan, the Daxia Crown Princess Qin Yan!"
And how could Jiang Quyi not recognize it, after all, Qin Yan's extremely beautiful face is too recognizable.
At this moment, Qin Yan and his party were only a few feet away from the gate of the palace. Qin Yan also recognized Jiang Quyi, the king of Xirong, who was at the gate of the palace. She raised her hand and waved, and the hundred subordinates behind her immediately set bows and arrows in Jiang Quyi's direction. , the rain of arrows shot out in an instant.
The guard at the entrance of the hall waved a knife to block the arrow, but Jiang Quyi pulled the woman hiding behind him, blocked her in front of him, and was escorted by the guard to quickly escape from the other side.
The people Qin Yan brought were all very skilled and well-armed. Jiang Quyi's guards fell one by one with arrows, including A Yan who was being held in front of Jiang Quyi.
There were several arrows in A Yan's body, especially the one that passed through the chest was the most deadly.
Jiang Quyi moved to the corner of the outer corridor of the dormitory, threw A Yan who had lost her strength on the ground, and ran away.
A Yan, who fell to the ground, vomited blood, and the blood from several arrow wounds on her body also flowed out, dyeing her yellow gauze skirt red.
A Yan's body twitched slightly, her eyes widened in pain, and the men in black quickly passed her and chased after King Xi Rong.
It was Qin Yan.
And Qin Yan just stopped, looked down at the woman who was lying on the ground and was about to die, with a look of indifference, then withdrew her gaze and walked away.
A tragic smile appeared on A Yan's lips.
Did Qin Yan recognize him just now? She should still remember herself...
Qin Yan, the woman she hated so much, she always looked indifferent and didn't take herself seriously.
She makes herself look ridiculous, how can she not hate her...
The voices of people in the distance were noisy, and the palace people fled in panic.
A Yan's vision gradually blurred, and her physical strength was also rapidly losing.
Is that so, is this the end...
She has not had her revenge yet.
Qin Yan, Song Yin, Empress Dowager Xiao, Xie An, Xie Changyuan…
Brother Changyuan...
In this incomparably chaotic Xirong Palace, no one cared about the lady who counted arrows in her body. At this moment, Madam Yan, who was lying on her back outside the corridor of the king's bedroom, was sent into the palace. Her face was calm, her eyes looked at the top of the corridor, and her lips With a sweet smile that shouldn't have appeared, but the body is already stiff.
-------
That night, Jiang Quyi, the king of Xirong, was intercepted by Qin Yan's people at the palace gate, and he was eventually outnumbered. Jiang Quyi, the king of Xirong, died at the hands of Jiang Mu.
Jiang Mu took a knife and cut off the head of his uncle Jiang Quyi, held his head high, and shouted loudly:
"Jiang Quyi is dead!"
"Father, Queen, Brother Wang, Sister Wang, I, Jiang Xun, have avenged you!"
After the death of Jiang Quyi, the king of Xirong, the news of the return of Jiang Xun, the youngest son of the former king of Xirong, quickly spread throughout the palace of Xirong and the capital at a very fast speed.
This well-prepared palace change came to an end soon, and the outcome was already divided. Jiang Quyi's remaining party refused to capture those who refused to kill them, and there were countless others who were captured, including Jiang Quyi's ten-year-old son.
Of course, Qin Yan's actions can be so smooth, and it depends on the old officials under the former Xirong throne, but they did not expect Qin Yan's amazing actions next.
------
The next day, Xirong Palace, the main hall.
Since this palace change can only be regarded as a coup within the Xirong royal family, the handover of power is extremely simple.
Jiang Quyi was dead, and Jiang Quyi's only remaining young son was imprisoned by Qin Yan, so Jiang Xun, the son of the former Xirong king, was logically supported by a group of ministers to the throne.
At the moment above the hall, beside the throne, there is another seat, sitting on it is Daxia's Crown Princess, Qin Yan. This made the civil and military officials in the palace a little puzzled.
After Jiang Xun's ascension ceremony was over, Qin Yan slowly spoke to everyone in the hall:
"Now, I give Xi Rong two choices."
"One, because Xirong has repeatedly violated our Daxia border with the Turks and publicly supported the independence of Daxia Yizhou this time, Xirong must bear the anger of Daxia people."
"The Great Xia Xiaoguan Pingxi Army will press on the Xirong border, and then the old and new grudges will be settled together."
"Second, Xirong merged into Daxia and gave up the national system."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was shocked and stunned.
Abandon the state system? Incorporated into Summer!
Qin Yan continued to speak:
"If Xirong is merged into Daxia, Xirong and Daxia people will jointly manage and govern, which can prevent the inevitable border conflict caused by Daxia and Xirong being adjacent to each other."
"Xirong is already bitter and cold, and it is obvious to all how the people at the bottom of Xirong struggle to survive. If Xirong people obtain the status of Daxia, they can enter Daxia to do business as officials and settle down. It is a win-win for Daxia and Xirong."
"I only give you half a day to think about it."
After speaking, Qin Yan got up, looked at Jiang Xun on the throne, and then led people out of the hall.
------
After Qin Yan left, everyone in the hall immediately began to discuss fiercely.
No one wanted Xirong to give up the national system, but the Daxia Crown Princess had a tough attitude, and the 100,000 troops she brought were scattered all over the capital, and at this moment they also got the news that Daxia's 400,000 Pingxi army had pressed on the Xirong border. It seemed that a war was imminent.
Princess Daxia is not discussing suggestions at all, it is a blatant threat of force.
In order to prevent Jiang Quyi from going all-in with the Turks and sending troops to put Xirong at risk, so that the people of Xirong could be spared from the war, they agreed to the cooperation of Daxia Crown Princess Qin Yan.
But after all, this still led the wolf into the room, and it was too late to regret it at this time.
And what Qin Yan, the princess of Daxia said, is also true that Xirong is bitter and cold. If Xirong people can enter Daxia, then...
The courtiers argued that the ground was red, and in the end, the two voices in the hall were almost equal.
An hour later, Jiang Xun, the new king of Xirong on the throne, said:
"This king announced that Xirong gave up the national system and merged into Daxia."
On the same day, the gate of Xirong opened wide, and General Shen Ci of the Pingxi Army led 200,000 troops to settle in Xirong.
At the same time, a letter of credentials with the seal of the King of Xirong was sent to various countries.
The national book says:
"Jiang Quyi, the king of Xirong, died of a serious illness, and Jiang Xun, the youngest son of the former king of Xirong, succeeded him."
"Xi Rong announced that the national system will be cancelled and merged into Da Xia, and the Da Xia Crown Princess Qin Yan will be in charge of Xi Rong for the time being."
------
The Turkic Khan Ashina Qigu got the news when the nine princess Ashina Mingzhu fled back to the Turks in the Xirong Palace change.
Ashina Qigu was about to lead troops to help Xirong when he suddenly got news that Feng Zhan, the prince of Daxia, personally led the troops and pressed on the Turkic border.
Ashina Qigu had no choice but to give up going to Xirong and fight against the coveted Shuobei army.
And when Xirong's credentials arrived in the Turks, Ashina Qigu was so angry that he shed blood.
Xirong was merged into Daxia! This is a severe breaking of the Turk's arm.
Should the Crown Princess Qin Yan rule Xirong?
This Xirong coup should be the result of Qin Yan's leadership.
Qin Yan, Qin Yan!
This amazingly beautiful and fierce woman!
After the Queen Mother Xiao of Yizhou got the news of Xirong, she immediately ordered the generals to lock the gate.
Empress Dowager Xiao was shocked that Qin Yan was able to take Xirong without bloodshed. Qin Yan had such strength to seize power in another country.
At the same time, the Empress Dowager Xiao has no doubt that Qin Yan will definitely take action against Yizhou, it is only a matter of time.
The courtiers in Daxia Shangjing were surprised and excited. Even the Minister of War, He Yanming, did not get the news in advance that the Crown Princess Qin Yan would take action against Xi Rong, but now this has solved a serious problem for his confidants.
Obtaining Xirong would also cut off the connection between the Turks and Yizhou. Even if Yizhou was independent, there was nothing to fear.
What a great event!
And Princess New Moon, the princess regent of the southern border, sat silently in the hall for a long time after she received the Xi Rong credentials.
The Crown Princess Qin Yan was indeed powerful and qualified to be her opponent.
And Southern Border, must not sit still.
