Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor-Chapter 390 - 400 Crown Prince Furious

Chu Feng discovered that invisible colossal energies were converging towards him.

"It seems that these colossal energies must undoubtedly be the Qi of Heaven and Earth!"

At this moment, Chu Feng finally understood why, when he consulted the ancient texts in the Sword Pavilion of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, he always felt these colossal energies converging into himself. It appears that when Minister Wu launched the rebellion, it had already shaken the national fortune of the Jianyun Dynasty.

Due to Chu Feng’s strategic replacement, the ancestral bones of the Chu Family were buried in that feng shui treasure spot.

Consequently, the Qi of the True Dragon fell upon the descendants of the Chu Family.

Chu Feng, possessed of the Nine Yang Sword Veins and being a True Disciple of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, had a destiny above Chu Jianlan. Therefore, in the obscure workings of fate, when choosing its host, it selected the high-destined Chu Feng.

No wonder Chu Jianlan, after raising an army, faced continuous misfortunes and was thwarted at every turn.

Although related to his own abilities, it more heavily depended on his destiny and Qi.

Now with Chu Feng assuming the role of Prince, it immediately became a divine mandate, the True Dragon Emperor. The fortunes also crazily converged towards him.

"Issue the order, widely disseminate the proclamation for a punitive expedition. The new King Chu Feng of Sword King Mansion, to vindicate his father, points the sword at Jianyun Emperor and others who plotted against my father! Let these murderers give an explanation to my Sword King Mansion."

"Take out the stored grain in the city, prepare a hearty meal, and let the army feast tonight. Tonight, we will no longer defend passively but will take the initiative to strike, pushing back the enemy forces. To hold stubbornly to one city is to face only the path of death. I will ensure a bright future for those soldiers who are willing to devote their lives to the Sword King Mansion."

Chu Feng authoritatively issued one command after another.

It’s true what they say, where there are military leaders there are also sagacious statesmen.

With such a stirring and commanding speech by Chu Feng, decree after decree being issued. The soldiers and civilians of the entire Blood Sun City seemed to be revitalized.

Everyone was filled with hope, their hearts joyful, and the gloom completely swept away.

But this was only the beginning.

After Chu Feng’s proclamation for punitive action was posted everywhere, it immediately stirred up a storm throughout the entire Jianyun Dynasty.

The voices supporting the Sword King Mansion, endorsing the new King Chu Feng of Sword King Mansion, kept rising.

This is what is called setting the stage.

To annihilate a nation’s regime, one must first win the hearts of its people.

Having an innate advantage, Chu Feng not only won over the people’s hearts but also the military’s heart. With the lingering influence of the old Prince, this new Prince naturally received the support and endorsement of the veterans of the old Prince. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

Countless troops stationed at the border or in other places spontaneously rushed to Blood Sun City to unite with the new Prince, Chu Feng.

Together, they rebelled against the tyrannical Jianyun Emperor and the numerous treacherous officials who plotted against the old Prince.

...

Within the Royal Capital of the Jianyun Dynasty, Prince Jianyun was now like an ant on a hot pot.

Several confidants kneeled on the ground, shaking in fear, not even daring to breathe heavily. Beside them were shattered vases and fragments of ornaments.

Just now, when they discussed Chu Feng taking charge and widely distributing the proclamation for redress for the old Prince. Prince Jianyun was overwhelmingly furious and felt panicked.

He had a deep understanding of Chu Feng’s prowess.

Even with all the advantages, Prince Jianyun had still lost the Nine Yang Sword Veins to Chu Feng.

"This Chu Feng is truly detestable. As soon as he returned, he has completely disrupted the favorable situation in this palace."

"When will the two military forces I dispatched arrive at Blood Sun City?"

The handsome face of Prince Jianyun twisted completely, gloomy and quite terrifying. His eyes were bloodshot and bloodthirsty, like a demon.

After the sword meridians were taken back by Chu Feng, he has been living in hatred and fear.

"Your Highness, the western army will arrive tomorrow night. The northern army, encountering torrential rains and mountain floods, may need an extra day and will only arrive the day after tomorrow," an elderly minister bowed deeply and reported.

This person was none other than the Crown Prince’s Tutor—Shangqiu, equivalent to a senior minister in the Cabinet.

He held a significant position in the Eastern Palace, acting as both the prince’s teacher and strategist.

During this coup where the Prince confined the old Emperor and seized the Emperor’s Throne, this Crown Prince’s Tutor exerted much effort. If he could assist the Prince to ascend the throne successfully, he too would rise with the tide.

He was likely to be directly appointed as the Crown Prince’s Master and Chief of the Cabinet.

"It seems I can only use the Imperial Palace Forbidden Army to help this palace conquer Blood Sun City!" Prince Jianyun couldn’t wait any moment longer.

A mad glint flashed across his face.

"Your Highness, please reconsider, this must not be done!" the Crown Prince’s Tutor, Shangqiu, urgently advised.

So many people were kneeling, yet only Shangqiu and an old eunuch dared to stand.

This old eunuch was a significant figure, the Chief Eunuch of Ritual Supervision and a favored confidante of the old Emperor.

What price did Prince Jianyun pay to win this old man over?

"This old servant also earnestly requests Your Highness to reconsider! The current political situation in the Imperial Palace is unstable, and the princes are eyeing us covetously. Although you have Her Majesty, the Empress’s support, the Thirteenth Prince has the aid of the Cabinet Chief, and even commands a troop of Hu Ben Guards. If you divert the Forbidden Army and personally rush to Blood Sun City, you might be exploited by the other princes. Impatience spoils great plans!"

The old eunuch said in a sharp voice, neither hurriedly nor slowly.

This old eunuch was definitely a formidable character, understanding the palace’s dynamics like the back of his hand.

As the head of the twelve bureaus of Ritual Supervision, if the Prince could control the Cabinet, he could even depose the old Emperor and proclaim himself Emperor.

Now, he can only resort to these disgraceful and underhanded methods to seize the Emperor’s Throne.

"Thirteenth brother used to be just a weak and obedient little kid. It’s unexpected that after so many years, he has gained such power and even some tactics."

"But he is still no match for this palace."

Prince Jianyun was indeed persuaded by the two. He decided to first eliminate the threat of the Thirteenth Prince.

"Teacher, aside from the Chief of the Cabinet, which other stubborn old figures in the Cabinet can’t be won over?" Prince Jianyun asked Shangqiu. He waved his hands repeatedly at the kneeling subordinates below, chasing them all out.

Only the old eunuch and Shangqiu were left inside.

"Additionally, Mo Yan Sheng and Hong Mo Zhi are also impossible to win over. These two occupy significant positions in the Cabinet and have considerable authority, plus behind them, each is supported by a major family. Thus, they are very troublesome," Shangqiu said.

These days, Shangqiu had been vigorously making his moves, using both soft and hard tactics. He aimed to take over the entire Cabinet, but regrettably had not been successful.

"A few days ago, I killed two senior ministers from the Cabinet who forcefully entered the Imperial Palace to visit the old Emperor. This has caused the Chief of the Cabinet to make a big issue out of it, continuously criticizing you. Presently, those Cabinet ministers who have been won over are also wavering in their resolve. They are showing signs of defection."

Saying this, Shangqiu couldn’t help but show a slight look of worry.
