As time passed …! More and more Dahan cities were plundered by the four factions. Reports of defeat reached the Infinite Celestial Capital.
At this moment, the Dahan officials were very anxious. Within the Dahan, the citizens felt increasingly uneasy.
Did something really happen to the emperor? Otherwise, why did the emperor not appear when so many cities were lost?
Every day, there were arguments in the Soaring Palace Hall. The people argued endlessly about sending troops to quell the attacks from all directions.
Chen Tianshan endured tremendous pressure every day. If not for his inflexibility and stubbornness, he might have broken down long ago.
Every day, he had to deal with the anxious officials and reports of defeat from all directions. Chen Tianshan also felt anxious. However, what could he do?
Send troops to quell the rebellion? Indeed, if he wanted to, he could send Gao Xianzhi. Or send another team to quell the rebellion quickly. The emperor handed the Immortal Demon Army to him. That was an army that could suppress countless wars.
However, Chen Tianshan did not dare to do so. He was worried that if he sent an army out, it would never return. Without the emperor, the people's hearts would scatter easily. As long as one army abandoned the Great Han, what followed next would be the collapse of the Great Han Empire.
What Chen Tianshan needed to do was maintain stability. He needed to stabilize the Han Dynasty, stabilize the Dahan officials, and stabilize everything in the Infinite Celestial Capital. As long as he could stabilize everything, the Han Dynasty would not fall apart.
Lose the cities? Chen Tianshan could not care about that anymore. Furthermore, as long as the emperor returned, the factions that swallowed the Dahan cities would have to spit them out. Furthermore, they would spit them out several times over.
As long as the emperor returned …
Wait, wait, wait!
Just as Chen Tianshan was resisting the pressure from all directions … A figure appeared and disrupted the order in the Infinite Celestial Capital.
A large number of Xuanwu surrounded a black-clad man and arrived at the Soaring Palace Hall's plaza.
Montes, Gao Xianzhi, Mo Yike, and the others all walked out of their residences and arrived at the Soaring Palace Hall's plaza, looking at this black-clad man who suddenly appeared.
"Greetings, Crown Prince!" Countless officials suddenly bowed in surprise.
Chen Tianshan's expression changed.
"Impossible! You're not the Crown Prince!" Montes exclaimed in shock.
The man in black was none other than Guqin.
Guqin smiled at Montes. "Commander Meng, don't you recognize me?"
"The Crown Prince was killed by Tai Chu. I was not the only one who saw it. Many people saw it. Now, the whole world knows that the Emperor was angry because of the Crown Prince's death. He personally went to the Heaven Realm to kill Tai Chu. You are not the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince is already dead! "Montes glared and shouted.
When Montes shouted, everyone's face sank.
"Who are you? You dare to impersonate the crown prince? "Chen Tianshan glared.
All of the officials were doubtful. Their previous excitement had long disappeared, and they all looked at Guqin with gloomy expressions.
Before Guqin could speak, a man in white behind him sneered, "What? The Han Dynasty was no longer surnamed Gu? Or do you want to usurp the throne? "
"Huh?" Everyone's expression sank as they looked at this man in white.
"Prime Feng Yue, calm down. I'll do it!" Guqin waved his hand.
Prime Feng Yue?
Suddenly, everyone's expression changed. The Silver Moon Sea's Prime Feng Yue? Isn't that the Xuanwu Race's Prime? Chen Tianshan and the others knew that the Xuanwu Race's Prime had died, and the Xuanwu God possessed Shanghai Hen. Shanghai Hen led the Xuanwu Race to become the Han Dynasty's Nation Beast. Unfortunately, the evil Prime Feng Yue's consciousness still remained in the Xuanwu God. In the end, it separated from Shanghai Hen's body, giving the Xuanwu Race two Primes.
Prime Feng Yue? The Sky Chess Pavilion?
"Meng Tai, do you remember the letter I wrote to you? I don't know if you still remember. Do you remember how I wrote it? "Guqin smiled.
"Huh?" Montes was stunned, "That letter?"
"The Dahan is in a difficult position. I, Guqin, am Montes. If there are any mishaps, I, Montes, will not allow any small fries to disrupt the order of the court. When my Imperial Father returns, I will eliminate all evil!" Guqin said.
Meng Tai stretched out his hand and took out a letter. Then, he carefully read it. As he read, his expression changed. Identical?
"Also, when you followed me to the Solar Deity Shrine, I spoke with you alone several times …!" Guqin said one by one.
"How is that possible? How do you know? "Montes looked at Guqin blankly.
Montes's blankness stunned the others. Could it be that he was really the crown prince of Guqin?
"Lord Gao Xianzhi, I remember that I spoke with you alone before. The first time …!"
"Lord Mo, I remember the last time we went fishing together. At that time, I told you …!"
"Lord Chen, I remember that when we were mortals, you and I worked together seamlessly …!"
… … …
… … …
… …
Guqin continued to recall. At this moment, Gao Xianzhi and the others were shocked.
Not a single word was missing. The things that Gu Qin said were all things that only the two of them knew.
"Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Meng Tai bowed respectfully in shock.
"Greetings, Your Highness!" The surrounding officials also bowed respectfully.
Chen Tianshan, Gao Xianzhi, and Mo Yike frowned slightly.
"How did you come back to life?" Gao Xianzhi asked curiously.
"That day, I did die. But fortunately, I received the inheritance of Old Man Guanqi and was one of the nine sons of Guanqi. Guanqi's mark allowed me to come back to life. Until today, I have returned to my original state. Today, I have returned!" Guqin smiled.
"Old Man Guanqi? Sky Chess Pavilion? "Mo Yike frowned slightly.
"Yes!" Guqin nodded.
"Greetings, Your Highness. May I know why Your Highness has brought the Xuanwu clan here …?" Mo Yike looked at the large number of Xuanwu behind Guqin.
Mo Yike acknowledged Guqin. The surrounding people also bowed respectfully. "Greetings, Your Highness!"
Guqin nodded and looked at Chen Tianshan. "Lord Chen, you have worked hard all these years!"
Although Chen Tianshan was not smart enough to tell if the Crown Prince in front of him was real or fake, he had learned to read people in the past five years. Even someone as smart as Mo Yike could tell that this was Guqin, so he could not be wrong.
"Greetings, Your Highness!" Chen Tianshan said happily. "It is natural for me to work hard. I am just a little tired. Now that Your Highness is back, it is great! "
Guqin nodded. "Yes, I know that Lord Chen has worked hard all these years. However, Lord Chen, don't worry. You can rest now!"
"Hmm?" Chen Tianshan was confused.
"The Han Dynasty is still my father's dynasty. As a son, I have to share my father's burdens. Lord Chen took up the burden of the Han Dynasty because he worked hard for the Dahan. I will remember this. Now, you can rest. I will help you take care of the Han Dynasty. They are attacking from all directions. It is time to take some of their arrogance. Otherwise, the Han Dynasty will be too cowardly!" Guqin said with a smile.
"Your Highness is wise. I am willing to lead the army to quell the rebellion!"
"Your Highness is wise. I am willing to lead the army to fight the enemy!"
"It is great that Your Highness is back!"
"That is great. We don't have to suffer from those bastards anymore!"
… … …
… … …
… …
The warlike officials cheered excitedly.
Mo Yike, Gao Xianzhi, and Montes narrowed their eyes at Guqin. They felt that something was wrong, but they did not say anything.
Chen Tianshan's face darkened.
Now that the crown prince is back, he wants to seize power?
No, the authority of the Han Dynasty belonged to the emperor in the first place. The crown prince was the heir apparent. There was nothing wrong with him taking over. However …?
"Lord Chen, do you have any objections?" Guqin asked with a smile.
Chen Tianshan's eyelids twitched as he struggled in his heart. After a while, Chen Tianshan took a deep breath and said, "Your Highness, you are the heir apparent. Originally, since the emperor is not here, we should listen to you. However, I would like to say this. In the end, you are just the heir apparent. We, the officials, the officials …"
Chen Tianshan said "we, the officials," three times. After the third time, all the officials looked at Chen Tianshan, not knowing what he wanted to say.
"We, the officials, are only loyal to His Majesty!" Chen Tianshan shouted.
Everyone's expressions immediately turned solemn.
"The crown prince wants to take over the authority of the Han Dynasty. As long as His Majesty agrees, we will do our best to obey. Your Highness, may I ask, do you have His Majesty's imperial edict?" Chen Tianshan shouted Solemnly.
Chen Tianshan's shout immediately suppressed the excitement of all the officials.
Indeed, the officials no longer wanted to listen to Chen Tianshan. They had been looking forward to the crown prince's return. Finally, they would not have to suffer anymore.
However, Chen Tianshan's declaration that they were only loyal to the emperor made all the officials revert to their original state.
Who would dare to go against the emperor's orders? You all want to rebel against the emperor?
Chen Tianshan showed a stern expression, and his tone was resolute. Many of the officials wanted to say something. However, as this involved the crime of rebelling against the emperor, they could not say anything.
Mo Yike and Gao Xianzhi also looked at Chen Tianshan in shock. Perhaps they had looked down on Chen Tianshan in the past. However, Chen Tianshan's rejection made the two look at him in a new light.
Even the two of them could not display Chen Tianshan's loyalty to the emperor. This was the crown prince.
Guqin's expression turned sullen.
"Lord Chen, are you making trouble for no reason? Imperial Father is not around, and you hold on to an imperial edict to do whatever you want? This Crown Prince is the heir apparent of the Dahan. Are you not paying your respects when you see me, or do you want to seize my Gu Clan's empire? "Guqin said coldly.
Guqin's voice contained a questioning tone. Many of the officials looked at Chen Tianshan doubtfully when they heard that.
"The imperial edict is the decree of the ruler! Furthermore, I am the Tianshan King that His Majesty personally conferred. My status as a prince is no weaker than yours. Guqin's crown prince, if you are loyal to His Majesty, please guard the Limitless Celestial Capital and wait for His Majesty's return! "Chen Tianshan rebutted.
"Humph! Chen Tianshan, it looks like you really want to seize my Gu Clan's empire. Today, this Crown Prince will represent my father in subduing you, a treacherous official, to restore order to the world!" Guqin said coldly.
Behind him, Feng Yue slowly released a strong aura that pressed down on Chen Tianshan.
At this moment, the countless officials seemed to be divided into two factions, with many of them supporting Gu Qin.
"The Gu Clan's empire? Hahaha! Your Highness, you misspoke. This is not the Gu Clan's empire but His Majesty's empire. Did you bring the Xuanwu Clan here today to seize the nation? The imperial edict is here. Who dares to go against it?! "
Chen Tianshan raised the imperial edict that Gu Hai had conferred upon him in the past. Then, he glared at Guqin, opposing him.
