"Your Majesty, my husband is here." A eunuch ran into the hall and reported urgently.
"Ah!" Xuan Chengtian, who was pacing back and forth anxiously, turned pale with fright. His expression was as if he had been struck by lightning.
Concubine Chang told him that as long as he controlled the military in Jing, Imperial Sister would not be able to do anything to him. As long as he controlled the military in Jing, Imperial Sister would not be able to enter the Palace. As long as he controlled the military, even the three major sects would completely fall to his side.
The logic was not wrong, and he deeply agreed with it. That was why he made his decision.
But why did my royal sister enter the palace?
Little did he know that the Imperial Consort Chang in his heart ran away after stirring up trouble. Even Imperial Consort Chang herself did not believe that she could control Xuan Wei so easily.
Just when Xuan Chengtian didn't know where to hide, a group of people had already walked in with large strides, and the person in the lead was Xuan Wei.
Behind Xuan Wei was a group of cultivators from the three great sects who guarded the palace.
Xuan Wei walked into the hall with large strides. Xuan Chengtian was so frightened that he retreated step by step. Xuan Wei's aura made him feel like she was going to swallow him alive.
Didn't they already send troops to surround Tian Wei Manor? Why did my royal sister come out?
Didn't they already order the palace gates to be tightly guarded? Why did Imperial Sister come in?
As long as he had the military power, wouldn't the three major sects side with him? Why were they all following behind her?
His imagination was beautiful, and he felt that it was only natural, but the reality was so cruel, making Xuan Chengtian extremely terrified.
He retreated to the wall. There was nowhere to retreat.
Looking at her brother who was leaning against the wall with a face full of fear, Xuan Wei said bitterly, "Why did you do this?"
"Why?" Xuan Chengtian muttered to himself and suddenly laughed miserably. "You forced me to do this!"
Xuan Wei: "I forced you? When did I force you? How did I force you? "
Xuan Chengtian suddenly stood up straight and waved his hands randomly. "What kind of emperor am I? Who doesn't know that the entire Wei Nation's military is under your control? I'm just a decoration! I'm just a fig leaf that you used to cover your ambitions! "
Xuan Wei said with a pained expression, "I've never had such a thought. I'm handing over power to you, can't you see that?"
Xuan Chengtian: "Hand over power? What power? I appoint officials, as long as you are not satisfied with them, you can fire them at any time. Is this your power? If you really want to hand over your power, you should withdraw completely! "His voice was close to a roar.
Xuan Wei bitterly shook her head and said, "You've been playing around since you were young, so it's inevitable that you'll be inconsiderate when you take over the government. The affairs of the country are not child's play, and you can't act willfully. I can only take it step by step and slowly get rid of it."
"Excuses! This is all your excuse! "Xuan Chengtian roared like an enraged beast. His emotions were completely out of control as he slammed into everything.
Two cultivators immediately stepped forward and restrained him.
Xuan Wei turned her head and shouted at a eunuch, "Summon Jiang Shiji to see me immediately."
She wanted to understand the situation through the Mist Manor.
However, they soon received news that Jiang Shiji had been killed.
Jiang Shiji was not the only one. She wanted to gather some generals to stabilize the situation in the capital as soon as possible, but she found that those generals had also been killed.
They were killed almost at the same time. This was obviously a meticulous plan. When they attacked, all the nodes were just right. This didn't seem like something that Xuan Chengtian could do.
Faced with Xuan Wei's persuasion, the people of the three major sects also realized that something was wrong. They immediately found out who arranged it.
Xuan Chengtian knew that once he said it, just like what Noble Consort Chang said, his royal sister wouldn't let them go.
In order to protect his woman, he actually behaved like a man and refused to say anything.
With the cooperation of the three major sects, they quickly found out the guards who killed Nan Renyu. After interrogating them, these guards confessed that they were ordered by Noble Consort Chang and Noble Consort Sang.
"No!" Hearing the guards' confession, Xuan Chengtian instantly panicked. He actually knelt down and almost crawled to Xuan Wei's feet, grabbing onto them. "Royal sister, please let them go. They are innocent. Everything was my idea, and they only did what I said. They are my women, your sisters-in-law. Sister, I beg you, I beg you to let them go. "
Seeing the emperor like this, the faces of the elders of the three major sects darkened. If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't make the decision, they would have killed him.
It wasn't that they despised him for not behaving like an emperor, but they also found out about other incidents. Not only was it targeted at the capital, this dog emperor had actually issued similar imperial edicts to the rest of the country.
It was useless to just issue an imperial edict. It was obvious that similar arrangements in the capital had already been prepared in secret.
The purge that affected the entire Wei Nation's military was not a small matter. It was bound to be a big matter. The elders of the three major sects realized the severity of the situation.
They never would have thought that in a situation where there was an external threat, which emperor would set himself up like this? In order to seize power, he would even destroy his own rice bowl!
This was something they never expected, and it was precisely because of this that they were taken advantage of.
Xuan Wei almost fainted. She swayed, but her feet were hugged by her younger brother.
After she came back to her senses, Xuan Wei lifted her feet and kicked him. She said sorrowfully, "Get lost!"
Xuan Chengtian fell onto the ground, rolling and crawling. He still wanted to hug her, but he was stopped by the people of the three major sects.
The elder of the Keeper Pavilion said to Xuan Wei in a deep voice, "Husband, we still need you to stabilize the situation as soon as possible. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
"This is a trap set up by someone with ulterior motives. They are already prepared, and it would be too late to send the message to retrieve the imperial edict. They are making use of this time gap." Xuan Wei shook her head sorrowfully, but she still wanted to try. She said loudly, "The three major sects, immediately send a message to all the cultivators who follow the army. If they don't obey the imperial edict, they will be taken down immediately!"
"Go quickly!" The elders of the three major sects immediately shouted at their subordinates.
Xuan Wei continued, "Use my name to order all the garrisons to not obey the imperial edict if someone fakes it! Order the border army to closely monitor the movements of the enemy nation. If there is any abnormality, report it immediately. Order all the local officials to strengthen the control, and prevent people from taking the opportunity to rebel … "
After issuing a series of orders, Xuan Wei abruptly turned to look at her sobbing brother and said solemnly, "Cultivators of the three major sects, with the Imperial Guards, search the entire palace immediately and drag out those two bitches!"
"No, royal sister!" Xuan Chengtian cried and begged.
Xuan Wei flung her sleeves and left.
Before she left the hall, the elder of Euphoria Mountain pointed at Xuan Chengtian and ordered his disciples, "Don't let him come out. Watch him!"
The palace gate opened. Ximen Qingkong entered the palace, and so did the hundreds of officials.
In the imperial court, the one sitting wasn't Xuan Chengtian, but Xuan Wei, who was covered in blood, stood in the center of the imperial court. She faced the hundreds of officials and quickly gave out all kinds of urgent orders.
After receiving the orders, the hundreds of officials almost trotted away to carry out the orders urgently.
The elders of the three major sects sighed inwardly. Thanks to this woman, the situation could be carried out in an orderly manner. Otherwise, who would listen to whom? After the incident, it would be a complete mess!
After searching the back palace and even the entire palace, they didn't find the whereabouts of Noble Consort Chang and Noble Consort Sang.
After receiving the report, Xuan Wei said coldly, "Investigate the palace gates. As long as there are people going in and out of the palace gate, arrest all the guards on duty and interrogate them!"
"Yes!" The commander of the Imperial Army quickly received the order and left.
Before long, the whereabouts of Noble Consort Chang and Noble Consort Sang were found. The two had already left through the small palace gate, and their whereabouts were unknown.
Because the two were favored by the emperor, it wasn't difficult for them to develop some confidants in the palace. This was also the reason why the two could leave the palace so smoothly.
The guards of the small palace gate and the eunuchs involved, regardless of whether they were involved in the incident or not, were all captured and forced to kneel at the steps outside the main hall.
They had already escaped! Xuan Wei's expression was ugly. This further proved that an external enemy was causing chaos in Wei Country.
Looking down at the group of people kneeling at the steps, Xuan Wei said coldly, "Without an imperial edict, they let the concubines out of the palace. They deserve to die ten thousand times for their crimes. All of them shall be executed!"
"Husband, please spare us …"
Cries and begging for mercy came from below, but Xuan Wei was unmoved. She allowed the Imperial Army to drag the group of people away for execution.
"The external enemy is causing chaos in the back palace. At this time, we can't leave any hidden dangers. It's better to kill the wrong person than to let them go! No matter where the beauties in the back palace come from, no matter where they come from, along with all the maids and eunuchs in the back palace. Kill them all! "
Xuan Wei, who stood at the top of the steps with bloodstains on her face, ordered indifferently. The wind caused her skirt to flutter, but it could not blow away the coldness in her eyes. Her eyes were filled with ruthlessness.
Ximen Qingkong suddenly turned to look at her. He was shocked, as if he didn't recognize her.
The elders of the three sects were also moved. They looked at each other, but no one had any objections. No one stopped her.
Perhaps it was cruel, but they all knew that at this time, nothing could happen to the central government of Wei Country. It was impossible to find out how many accomplices Noble Consort Chang and Noble Consort Sang had. If they continued to investigate them one by one, who knew how long it would take?
They didn't have the energy to care about that now. Perhaps ending everything once and for all was the best solution.
Not only did they not stop her, the disciples of the three sects cooperated fully.
Soon, groups of Imperial Army soldiers rushed into the various alleys in the back palace. Then, screams and screams sounded continuously. The smell of blood filled the entire palace …
The civil officials in the capital of Wei Country didn't suffer many losses. Most of those who were killed were the generals. It wasn't that the enemy didn't want to attack the civil officials, but if the scale was too large, the enemy wouldn't be able to control enough people.
This was Xuan Wei's judgment. Xuan Wei also deeply realized that this was a sabotage against the military of Wei Country.
But what Xuan Wei was most worried about still happened. When the news spread to the various places, it was already too late.
The generals in the various places were either killed, or those who were on good terms with the cultivators guarding them risked their lives with the help of the cultivators.
Those who were in the latter situation either ran for their lives or gathered their troops to protect themselves.
What was even more fatal was the appearance of rumors. They said that Xuan Wei and Xuan Chengtian were fighting for the military power and wanted to massacre each other's people.
This caused the people who carried out Xuan Chengtian's imperial edict to fall into panic.
Shao Pingbo made a few preparations. Those who ran were fine, but those who gathered their troops to persuade them to surrender. They said that they couldn't fight against the army of the imperial court and that they would die sooner or later. After some generals were persuaded, they publicly sent out documents of rebellion to defect to Jin Country.
The troops of Jin Country, who had been plotting for a long time, finally stopped hiding. They started to assemble at top speed and marched towards Wei Country!
