C186

The mobilization of food, soldiers and generals was a hustle and bustle. First, from all parts of the capital, soldiers and soldiers were sent to the north to face the enemy. Raising supplies and transporting them to the northern border was a hassle for many people. There were a lot of weapons and supplies to fight against the invasion of a million strong soldiers. They didn't know how long the war would take or how much they had to spend.

The number of the original twelve guards had also been reduced by half. Of the original twelve commanders, only six remained.

The other six commanders all followed Feng Qingxiao to the Northern Frontier. These commanders were not Yun Fei's trusted aides, so they were conferred new positions and were not demoted from their positions. However, they were transferred from the imperial guards to the Northern Frontier to lead troops to defend the invading barbarians. Regardless of whether these people were willing or not, the imperial edict and the military order were not something that they dared to go against. The soldiers and horses of the prefectures surrounding the capital were all transferred to the northern border. Even if someone wanted to cause trouble, there were no troops that they could use.

Yunhai hurried back to the place where he had detained the traitor and passed on his eunuch's orders, "Commander Tie, the Duke ordered for you to interrogate the traitor and obtain his statement."

Tie Gangying was stunned. He never thought that his father-in-law would trust him so much and even give him such an opportunity. It had to be known that he had been planning a rebellion with the empress and His Highness the crown prince. If word of this got out, he would only die and his entire clan would be exterminated. Whether it was the empress or the crown prince, they would all bite him to death. Even if these people didn't accuse him, it would be too easy for the marshal to take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of him.

The traitor was handed over to him to interrogate. No matter what methods he used, as long as he confessed, he would be the one in charge of those people's confessions. He was the presiding judge. If the former Empress and the former Crown Prince wanted to frame him, they would only suffer more. It would be useless.

This was what Yun Zihuang had proposed to Yun Feifeng. She had completely removed Tie Gangying from this plot to kill her father.

In that moment, he felt an indescribable gratitude as he knelt down on one knee. "This general obeys your orders and thanks Commander for his grace."

Yun Hai smiled, "Commander Tie, please do not disappoint official's kindness."

"The handsome lord's kindness is as deep as the heavens and as deep as the earth. It will be difficult to repay it even if I die a thousand times."

After leaving the court, the civil and military officials busied themselves, devoting all of their energy to armaments. Once the barbarians of the Northern Regions invaded the Northern Frontier, the Tianyuan Kingdom would fall into the flames of war. Even the capital would have difficulty surviving.

Zhou Feiran stood by the side with his head bowed, not daring to look at Feng Qingxiao, who was seated on his seat. Even though he was the current emperor and the sovereign of the Tianyuan Kingdom, he knew very well that everything he had was the gift of this regent, including his life and his mother's life.

The palace had been cleaned up long ago, and all those who had connections with the empress dowager and the previous crown prince had been apprehended.

The imperial concubines of the previous emperor were all sent to a remote palace to be grounded. The imperial concubines of the previous emperor who had never given birth to princes were all sent, according to the law, to be sent to a temple exclusive to the previous emperor to pray for the old emperor. Of course, many emperors of the dynasty would bury their unborn concubines after they passed away.

Currently, there were only imperial guards in the imperial palace, and the palace maids and eunuchs that shuttled back and forth could no longer be seen.

He was lucky, because in this huge change, not only was he safe and sound, he had even inherited the throne. Because of his succession to the throne, his mother's consort had also become the empress dowager. She had been bullied for many years, and now she lived in a gorgeous palace. However, he was unfortunate, because he was nothing more than a puppet emperor who had no power and had to act on the face of the regent.

After leaving the throne room, the Regent sat atop it, while he stood respectfully below.

Feng Qingxiao asked calmly, "Are you not willing?"

"Plop …"

Zhou Feiran heavily fell to his knees, kneeling in front of the Regent, bowing to him and saying respectfully: "Feiran has never had such a heart. My lord had been ordained by the heavens, and has no sense of virtue, young and ignorant, obeying all my lord's orders and not daring to disobey them in the slightest."

"Right now, you're the Emperor. Kneeling before a Minister is no good."

"In Ferran's heart, the prince was his king, his king. If it weren't for the kindness of the prince, Fei Ran and his mother wouldn't have lived long. Fei Ran and his mother had such a day, and it was all thanks to the prince's gift. Fei Ran could not be more grateful. In front of the prince, how could Fei Ran dare to call himself the emperor? This position should have belonged to the prince, but now … This humble subject shall temporarily stay here and shall await the triumphant return of Your Highness. This humble subject shall relinquish the throne and respectfully invite Your Highness to ascend to the throne. "

He spoke in an incomparably humble and respectful manner. As he knelt in front of Feng Qingxiao, he called himself 'this humble official'.

For so many years, he and his mufei had lived in the palace, a place where they ate people without spitting out their bones, fighting for their lives through cracks. What sort of humiliation had they not suffered before?

After experiencing countless hardships of life and death, he had lived a cautious and cautious life ever since he was young and had seen too many people's expressions. Repeatedly standing up for Zhou Tuoyi, it was not because he was young and ignorant, but because he was forced to do so. Otherwise, it would be difficult to even protect his own life and mother's.

Facing the Prince of War God of the Tianyuan Kingdom, how could he not have her own pride and dignity? Look at the crown prince and the esteemed empress, now prisoners of this prince.

"This King doesn't ask you these words. There is a bit of sincerity in your words, so I will remember your words today." The throne has never been what This King wanted, but now that you have reached such a level, This King can naturally cripple you if you are able to inherit the throne. You don't need to say much about the political and military affairs of the empire. After I head to the northern border, I will pass down my orders. After This King leaves, the Emperor shall take charge of the imperial court and the military. "

"As you wish, Your Highness, this humble subject will remember your orders."

"All matters are left to the Duke of Dingguo to decide. If you become restless, switching for an Emperor is nothing for me."

"Bang, bang, bang …"

Zhou Feiran's heart was filled with fear and reverence. He kowtowed to the ground repeatedly and said with a trembling voice, "Your Highness, I will obey your orders. I will not dare to disobey any of your orders. Your Highness has moved the northern border to meet the enemy. This official has followed the orders of the Duke of Dingguo, and would not dare to make any mistakes even if I were to die.

Feng Qingxiao didn't say anything. On the road, he had been ambushed and assassinated, but he had already decided that he would never respect anyone else as his sovereign again. He would kneel and kowtow to this so-called monarch!

He didn't have the ambition to become an overlord. He had been repeatedly assassinated by the late emperor from the Dragon Guards. He even colluded with the barbarians of the northern region. This was something he couldn't tolerate. The former empress and crown prince were plotted to kill the king and kill the father, to rebel and usurp power. The other four princes, who were keen on the throne, were among them. This monstrous scheme had caused the late emperor to pass away. The empress and crown prince had become traitors, three princes had died, and one prince had been injured.

The capital had been completely purged. If it weren't for the joint invasion of a million troops from the northern region, how could the thirteenth prince have succeeded the throne!

Zhou Feiran, who was kneeling on the ground, did not hear the Regent's words for a long time.
