    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 530

    The spring was cold, and the drizzle shrouded the capital, and there was a chill in the air.

    After night fell, the number of pedestrians on the street decreased, and the majestic imperial city lit up lanterns one by one. In the hazy drizzle, the imperial city was dazzling like a bright pearl in the dark night.

    In this eventful autumn, the Far Eastern Dynasty is also in a precarious state, with wars everywhere, and people dying.

    Fortunately, Prime Minister Zuo Wang Huchen put forward a proposal to form a militia by wealthy families in various provinces. Without spending a grain of food or a penny of military pay from the imperial court, countless troops were created out of thin air.

    The various militia units formed by the rich and powerful families based on private soldiers were so powerful that they defeated the rebels from all walks of life.

    Good news from all over the country continued to spread to the capital, and the good transfer of the situation also swept away the previous haze in the capital.

    The prince is now handling military and state affairs as the crown prince, and now he has gradually grasped the power.

    ? After dinner, surrounded by his servants, the prince went to the old emperor's bedroom to visit the old emperor. This was already a daily routine for the prince.

    The prince is now in power, and now he needs to establish an image of a filial son in order to successfully ascend the throne.

    The old emperor was in a coma, and time was running out. After a few glances, the prince returned to his Qinzheng Hall.

    "Yan Aiqing, I entered the palace late at night, what's the matter?"

    When the prince returned to Qinzheng Hall, he was puzzled to see Yan Jing, whom he had trusted as his confidant, standing outside the hall.

    "Your Highness, I have something important to report."

    After Yan Jing knelt down and saluted, he raised his head and spoke.

    "It's cold outside, if you have something to say to the hall."

    The prince is generally satisfied with his confidant.

    Yan Jing was in charge of the investigation department, severely suppressed the military family, and seized countless money.

    It is precisely because of this money that the prince was able to buy off courtiers, expand the Imperial Guard troops, and gradually gain power.

    Yan Jing followed the prince step by step to the Hall of Qinzheng, and the prince gave Yan Jing a seat.

    "His Royal Highness, our investigation department has just received a piece of information that His Royal Highness has colluded with the military family."

    After Yan Jing looked around, he opened his mouth slowly and reported to the prince.

    After the prince heard this, he also raised his eyebrows, and murderous intent appeared on his face.

    "Is there any evidence?" the prince asked coldly.

    The fourth prince is a strong contender for the throne, and the prince has always supervised his fourth brother very closely.

    Now that he heard that the military family had colluded with the fourth prince, he immediately smelled a dangerous atmosphere.

    Although they suppressed a group of arrogant and domineering military families, the Far Eastern Dynasty has been established for so many years, and there are hundreds of military families.

    Now that the surviving military family dared to collude with the fourth prince, the prince felt murderous in his heart.

    "This is a letter from His Royal Highness, the Yu family, and the Tian family intercepted by our investigation department."

    Yan Jing also noticed the killing intent flashing in the prince's eyes, and respectfully presented a stack of letters.

    The prince flipped through the letter with a gloomy face. The more he looked at him, the more ugly his face became, and soon he was so gloomy that he could drip water.

    "I really don't know how to live or die!"

    Seeing these conclusive letters, the prince was also furious.

    ?Because the fourth prince not only had correspondence with the military and military families, but also conspired against them, trying to kill themselves and seize power.

    "Come here, let General Hu Ziyang come to see me."

    The fourth prince and the military family wanted to rebel, and the prince couldn't sit still, so he decided to let the imperial guards strike first.

    "Your Highness, wait a minute."

    When the prince was about to summon the general Hu Ziyang and ask him to take the imperial guards to arrest the fourth prince and others, Yan Jing stopped him.

    "What else is there?"

    "His Royal Highness, the imperial guards cannot be transferred to suppress the rebellion." Yan Jing said solemnly.

    The prince was also full of doubts: "Why?"

    "Recently, private soldiers of the military family have gathered in the city one after another, but the imperial guards have not noticed anything."

    Yan Jing's words were only half spoken, but after the prince heard this, he waved his hand and let the servant go out.

    "Do you suspect that the great general Hu Ziyang also took refuge in my fourth brother?" The prince stared at Yan Jingroad.

    "The great general was selected by the crown prince alone. I reckon it would be impossible to seek refuge with the fourth prince, but the generals under him may not be so."

    "If His Royal Highness dispatches the imperial guards to suppress the rebellion, we will be in danger if they fight back."

    Hearing this, the prince also took a deep breath.

    He originally thought that the Janissary was trustworthy, but now he has doubts about the Janissaries.

    "His Royal Highness, don't worry, no matter what happens, our investigation department will swear to protect His Royal Highness."

    After seeing the prince's facial expression, Yan Jing also expressed his loyalty immediately.

    "good very good."

    Seeing Yan Jing's loyalty, the prince undoubtedly added a bit of trust and affection to him.

    "Okay, hurry up and gather the soldiers of the Investigation Department to guard the imperial city, and then prepare to put down the rebellion."

    After hearing Yan Jing's words, the prince no longer trusted the imperial guards guarding the imperial city, and asked Yan Jing to lead the investigation department's troops into the imperial city.

    "Weichen will go now."

    After a successful smile flashed across Yan Jing's eyes, he turned and left.

    When Yan Jing bid farewell and left the imperial city to summon the investigating officers and horses, the prince was also pacing back and forth, feeling restless.

    "Tune the Qilin Guard into the city."

    Although the prince trusts Yan Jing, he doesn't want to hand over his life to Yan Jing's investigation department.

    Moreover, the imperial guards cannot be used, and the investigation department must defend the imperial city and quell the chaos, so there must be insufficient manpower.

    Therefore, the prince decided to call his newly formed Qilin Guard into the city to ensure his safety.

    The Qilin Guard was formed by the heroes recruited by the prince at the beginning, each of them is tough and brave, although the number is only more than 3,000, they are all elites.

    They have been hiding and training in the prince's manor in the suburbs. They are the prince's backhands to seize the throne, and they have not been used.

    Now at a critical moment, he didn't care that the Qilin Guards would be exposed, so he rushed the Qilin Guards into the city.

    This night is destined to be restless, Yan Jing's investigation division troops are mobilizing and gathering, and the prince's Qilin guards are also mobilizing.

    Seeing these troops that suddenly appeared, the imperial guards guarding the capital felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

    But the other party had the prince's order, and they didn't dare to stop them, so they could only let them enter the city.

    However, they reported to their superiors as soon as possible, and the generals at all levels also felt that the atmosphere was not right, so they rushed to report to General Hu Ziyang.

    However, Hu Ziyang, who is in charge of the Imperial Guard, is not in the capital. He went to Xilin Mansion, where Gyeonggi Province is located, to inspect the Third Corps of the Imperial Guard the day before yesterday.

    Xilin Mansion is the southern gate of Gyeonggi Province. The last time Chen Ziang led an army to break through it led to a crisis in the capital.

    Therefore, General Hu Ziyang also attached great importance to this place. After the expansion of the Imperial Guard, he directly put a corps of 30,000 people here.

    General Hu Ziyang was far away in Xilin Mansion, and the remaining generals of the imperial guards did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly sent horses to report the situation, hoping that Hu Ziyang would return to the capital as soon as possible.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
