Chapter 296 Wang Baochuan (VII)

Yun Lan was hiding in the corner watching them. Seeing Dai Zhan was excited, she made a finger gesture and shot it at her. The spell on Dai Zhan's body was activated and the effect was doubled. Dai Zhan's ears were filled with curses of soul-hunting and death-seeking. The figure of the king in front of him gradually blurred and turned into Wang Baochuan's cold and resentful look.

Dai Zhan screamed, suddenly pulled out the soft sword from his waist and stabbed the king, shouting, "Wang Baochuan! If you have the guts, compete with me! I must kill you today!"

The king was startled and rolled off the chair in embarrassment to avoid it. The two fathers and daughters sent all the servants out for a secret talk. At this time, no one could help the king. Dai Zhan was blood-thirsty and his moves were deadly. The king had not used force for many years. He dodged left and right, knocked over the tables and chairs, panicked, and shouted to the outside breathlessly: "Hurry up! Protect the king! Protect the king! "

Ling Xiao ran in after seeing Dai Zhan stabbing the king's arm at the door, "Stop! Dai Zhan, are you crazy? How could you assassinate your father?" He kicked Dai Zhan over, lifted the king up and protected him behind him, shouting, "Guards! Come and protect the king!"

The king's health was getting worse. In fact, everyone tacitly agreed that Ling Xiao was the next king. Many officials and guards had secretly begun to follow Ling Xiao's orders. When they heard Ling Xiao's shout, a team of guards immediately rushed in and detained Dai Zhan.

Dai Zhan stared at the king and struggled, "Wang Baochuan! You have been pestering me for so long, I will not let you go! I tell you, I am the princess of Xiliang and the future king of Xiliang. You, a mere ghost, can't touch me at all! I am not afraid of you!"

The guards looked at each other and lowered their heads in silence. The king straightened the crown on his head and pointed at Dai Zhan with a trembling hand, "King of Xiliang? I think you are crazy! Take her away and lock her in her bedroom!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Let me go! I want to kill Wang Baochuan! Let me go..." Dai Zhan had no soft sword, so she had to struggle desperately. The guards were really annoyed, and they chopped her on the back of the neck as soon as they went out, causing her to faint.

The king held Ling Xiao's hand and sat on the chair. He was not in good health to begin with. After all this, his face turned pale and sweat broke out on his forehead. The imperial physician carefully bandaged his sword wound, felt his pulse, shook his head and sighed: "The king needs to rest, and he must not get angry again."

The king closed his eyes and relaxed for a while, looking at Ling Xiao tiredly, "Xiao'er, this king has no energy to deal with state affairs. Tomorrow, this king will issue an order to pass the throne to you. You go back and prepare. From now on, Xiliang and Dai Zhan will be handed over to you."

Ling Xiao looked up and saw the majesty in his eyes. His heart was blocked. He nodded and retreated respectfully. Dai Zhan was obviously crazy, but the king still asked him to marry Dai Zhan. Although he didn't mention anything about being equal, he was indescribably angry in his heart.

Yun Lan took a circle in the palace, figured out the thoughts of several main characters, and returned to the Xiangguo Mansion. After two days of consideration, Wang Yun finally agreed to gamble with Yun Lan and provide her with his connections. Yun Lan immediately summoned the four major disciples of Xiaoyao Sect, analyzed and discussed with them, and made a thorough plan.

She drugged her upright brother-in-law Su Long and locked him up in a farm in the suburbs. As for Wei Hu and Wei Bao, she simply drew high-level puppet talismans on them to control their words and deeds. She recruited several important ministers in the court who could be recruited, and let the disciples of Xiaoyao Sect control their descendants for those who could not be recruited. Speaking of it, this method is similar to the one she used to deal with Shunzhi in Xiaozhuang, but she was the empress dowager at that time, and now she is just the daughter of the prime minister, so it is more troublesome to act.

The emperor is incompetent and suspicious, and there are not many people who are loyal to the emperor. Yun Lan got the connections of Wei Hu and Wei Bao, opened the palace gate directly, and led the disciples of Xiaoyao Sect to rush in. She prepared a list of those evil people and handed it to everyone, and killed them without mercy when they met! The other ordinary palace guards were knocked unconscious. Although the Xiaoyao Sect disciples only practiced some basic martial arts, it was very easy to deal with them. Under Yun Lan's meticulous planning, this battle to usurp the throne ended quietly!

The emperor sat dejectedly on the dragon throne, with humiliation and hatred in his eyes, and more confusion, "The prime minister really has a rebellious heart!"

"I am the one who has a rebellious heart. My father just gave me some help out of helplessness." Yun Lan found a seat and sat down casually, with a faint expression. She has traveled through almost every identity, and she hates this kind of emperor who controls the people of the world but does not care about the people.

The emperor held the throne tightly with both hands and sneered, "You want to learn from the Emperor Wu Zhou? Oh, don't be too proud too early. My prince is living outside. If he knows his life experience, he will definitely try his best to restore the country! This world belongs to my Li family! The Emperor Wu Zhou couldn't change it, and neither can you! My Li family will be passed down for thousands of generations!" Yun Lan sneered unceremoniously, "Thousands of generations? Do you think it's a cult? You want to pass it down to the emperor? Do you know how many complaints the people have about you? Do you know how many people have suffered from Xiliang's repeated invasions? You are in the palace and don't hear anything about the outside world. You only care about your own glory and wealth. Even if it's not me today, someone else will overthrow you!" "You! You are talking nonsense!" The emperor was so angry that he gasped, but he couldn't find any words to refute for a while. Yun Lan smiled, "By the way, speaking of your prince..." The emperor stood up nervously and took two steps forward, "Prince? Do you know where he is? What did you do to him?"

"Back then, you didn't want my father's power to expand, so you gave me a phoenix crown and a red robe and threw a ball to find a husband. Do you remember that I married a poor commoner and my father was so angry that he broke off relations with me? That poor commoner is your prince. So, I am the crown princess? In this way, your throne is not passed to an outsider when it is passed to me, don't you think?" The emperor ignored the sarcasm in her words and stared at her in disbelief, "You... you obviously married Xue Pinggui... You mean Xue Pinggui is my son? This... He became the Xiliang prince consort, how is this possible?" "The Xiliang prince consort is a thing of the past. Now I have disfigured him and broken his leg. I heard that he has a bad temper and beats and scolds the princess. I am afraid that his position as the prince consort is unstable! Eunuch, do you regret suspecting my father and marrying me off casually?" "You! You..." The emperor covered his chest and suddenly After spitting out a mouthful of blood, he staggered to hold onto the desk, picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it down, laughing: "Without the imperial edict and the imperial seal, you can't ascend the throne smoothly! You beat your husband and murdered your father-in-law, you will not have a good end!" Yun Lan tilted her head to look at him, let go of her spiritual sense, slapped the table and jumped onto the four-meter-high beam, stretched out her hand and took out a brocade box and jumped down. She slowly opened the brocade box in the emperor's shocked and angry eyes, took out the imperial seal to admire, "Now that I have the imperial seal, I can find someone to imitate your handwriting and even have the imperial edict of abdication. Even if others know that I usurped the throne, what does it matter? Do you think there will be people who will speak up for you? I'm afraid they will only celebrate after knowing it! So... from now on, this world belongs to my Wang family!" The emperor stared at her blankly, slowly fell down, and didn't say a word. Yun Lan took out the imperial edict from the bookshelf and looked at it for a few times. She picked up the pen and wrote the abdication edict on the blank imperial edict, stamped it with the jade seal, and put the two imperial edicts together. The handwriting on them was exactly the same!

All the ceremonies for Yun Lan's enthronement were arranged according to the specifications of Wu Zetian at the time, including the clothes and accessories. For convenience, the country was even named Zhou. Some old ministers looked at her sitting high on the dragon throne in an imperial robe, and they remembered the legends passed down by their ancestors when they were young. They thought that Wu Zhouhuang was just a special case. Who knew that now there was a younger empress. Maybe they really can't despise women anymore.

After Yun Lan ascended the throne, he named Wang Yun and Mrs. Wang as the emperor and empress dowager. They no longer need to work all day long, and just need to enjoy the wealth and honor in the palace. At her first grand court meeting, she proposed to attack Xiliang. "How dare the small country of Xiliang dare to provoke our Great Zhou? Even the tributes sent to Beijing several times are embarrassing for our Great Zhou. For the sake of the people on the border, I will never allow Xiliang to act recklessly again. My dear ministers, please think of ways to destroy Xiliang with the least combat power."

Ministers spoke one after another. Most military generals agreed to attack, while civil officials thought it was a waste of money and labor, and as long as there was no big chaos, there was no need to worry about it. Yunlan's four major disciples were already officials in the court, so they naturally followed her lead and immediately came out to make several suggestions to support Yunlan's attack on Xiliang. In the end, the old-fashioned person who was good at debate kept silent and set the general policy of attacking Xiliang.

Yunlan spent two months to sort out the court and successfully suppressed the voices of opposition with various means. From then on, there were no more voices of opposition in the court until the opening of the special examination injected fresh blood and had her own loyal ministers.

After Wang Yun became the emperor, he felt relaxed. He no longer had to worry about the emperor's suspicion and the suppression of his political enemies. He could discuss his ideas directly with Yun Lan. He seemed to be ten years younger! Although Mrs. Wang was terrified for a while, she gradually let go of her worries and enjoyed the respected life of the empress dowager when she saw that the court was stable and her third daughter was confident.

Jin Chuan was named the eldest princess, and she was happy for her sister, but the eldest son-in-law Su Long couldn't understand it. He thought that the Yue family was plotting to usurp the throne and was treasonous, so he refused to return to the court. Yun Lan ignored him. As long as he was good to Jin Chuan, she didn't care about anything else.

Yinchuan was named the second princess, and immediately became arrogant and had many small thoughts, but everyone could see Yunlan's indifference to her. Her status in the hearts of the ministers was far inferior to Jinchuan. Wei Hu and Wei Bao were also idle positions and were not reused. After Yunlan stabilized the imperial power, he lifted his control over them, but at this time their power had been eliminated by Yunlan, and it was impossible for them to do anything.

Family and court affairs have been arranged properly, and the battle situation at the border has entered a critical period. Xiliang even sent envoys to seek peace. Yunlan ordered her four disciples to stay in Chang'an and sit in charge, and she proposed to lead the army in person. "The people of Xiliang killed many people in my Great Zhou, causing complaints and suffering at the border. There is no need to negotiate peace. This time I will lead the army in person and must eliminate them in one fell swoop!"
