Chapter 360 The Prince Was Defeated by His Father
On the way, Yu Jiuer finally had the chance to ask Jian Si: "Si'er, tell me honestly, the prince made so many arrangements, why did he still lose to that insidious and cunning bastard?"
Jian Si's expression faltered slightly, and he glanced at the old emperor, puffing his cheeks and saying, "The prince did not lose to the fifth prince, the prince lost to his father!"
"There's one thing I can't figure out. The retired emperor has thousands of shadow guards around him. Even if he was given the tiger talisman by mistake on the day of the coup, couldn't his shadow guards go and get it back? Moreover, so many people can't defeat the fifth prince?"
This is something Yu Jiuer couldn't figure out.
Logically, the shadow guards around the retired emperor are all experts and will definitely not betray the emperor. There is no reason for them to sit back and do nothing!
When this was mentioned, Jian Si became even more depressed. He sighed heavily and said, "It's all because the Fifth Prince is so good at acting that he has bewitched the Emperor! Ever since the prince left Beijing for Miaojiang, the First Prince and the Fifth Prince have been ready to make a move and have teamed up to attack the Emperor's mind.
The fifth prince, in particular, often went in and out of the emperor's bedroom in the name of filial piety. The fifth prince's biological mother was not to be outdone. The mother and son took a two-pronged approach to take care of the emperor and win the emperor's trust. The emperor probably revealed all his wealth to the fifth prince at that time.
On the day of the coup, all the shadow guards of the retired emperor were controlled in advance by the ungrateful Fifth Prince. He had been planning this for a long time, and the emperor and the princes were caught off guard.
After the coup, the shadow guards around the retired emperor struggled to their death, some died, some were disabled, and some could not withstand the coercion and inducement of the new emperor and switched to the new emperor's camp. Now, there are only a dozen loyal people left around the retired emperor. "
"You deserve it!" Yu Jiuer took a breath.
Jun Mo sent the Eighth Princess to Miaojiang and deliberately delayed his return to Beijing in order to draw out the ambitions of the First Prince and the Fifth Prince and let them reveal their true colors as early as possible so that they could be annihilated one by one.
The Western Regions are eyeing him covetously. Jun Mo wants to resolve the internal troubles as soon as possible and then concentrate on dealing with the external threat. However, he did not expect that there is always a loophole. No matter how much he plans, he cannot outsmart the prodigal man in his family.
The reason why he lost so miserably this time was because this “old guy” trusted the wrong person. How could this “old guy” still have the nerve to show off after getting into this situation?
Jian Si continued, "Your Highness was defeated, but he still won with honor! Without our Yulin Army, the entire capital would have been a river of blood that night.
The eldest prince was inhumane and had captured a large number of innocent people and court officials in an attempt to threaten the emperor. Fortunately, the prince arranged for us to monitor the movements of the eldest prince's men, and only then were we able to successfully rescue everyone.
Moreover, in the process of resisting the eldest prince, if the prince had not arranged for us to turn the tide, I am afraid that the eldest prince would not have been killed so quickly. It was only because of the prince's proper arrangements that we avoided so many casualties.
We thought we could win a great victory. Deputy General Wei even controlled the Fifth Prince's men. But in the end, we lost everything because of a tiger talisman!"
Yu Jiuer sighed: "The Fifth Prince holds the Tiger Talisman, which allows him to mobilize all the troops inside and outside the imperial city. Even if you control his few troops, what does it matter? Does he still care about those few troops when he has the Tiger Talisman in his hand?"
"Yes! As soon as the prince saw the situation reversed, he immediately notified us to retreat quickly, otherwise both he and we would be accused of rebellion." Jian Si was still indignant when he talked about this, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
Yu Jiuer was also furious after hearing this, and she decided that if that "old thing" acted unreasonably again in the future, she would teach him a lesson!
Some people are like this. If you don’t “remind” them, they will always be sleepy and can’t wake up!
Hadn't he bullied her often in the capital before, relying on his status as emperor?
It’s time to settle the new and old grudges with him this time.
Jian Si continued to ramble on: "The prince has been considerate of the brotherhood and has not killed the princes, but they have been merciless to the prince! If the queen mother had not used her life to buy everyone a chance to live, the prince would have been in trouble."
"Your Highness thinks too highly of human nature. He cares about the relationship between brothers and believes that they also have conscience. Little does he know that for the throne, they have long lost their humanity." Yu Jiuer shook her head and sneered.
Then, he remembered to ask Jian Si, "By the way, what plans does the prince have for the future?"
The prince's military strength is far inferior to that of the new emperor. If he leads the old emperor back to the capital, his entire army will be wiped out before even entering the capital. This is unrealistic.
Jian Si shook his head: "After the prince separated from us, he only told me to protect the emperor well, and didn't say much else! He ordered Deputy General Wei and his wife to continue to stay in the capital!"
Yu Jiuer nodded. Liu Qingyun had brought her Yu Tao's letter. After the palace coup, Wei Zheng took the initiative to resign and continued to do business with Yu Tao in the capital.
Zhang Qiaoer and Zhang Yutang, two siblings, also took the initiative to stay in the capital to continue brewing wine and making money.
After the palace coup, Jun Mo cut the Gordian knot and quickly converted the business and everything that could be sold into silver. He also transferred all of Yu Jiuer's apparent assets to Yu Tao's name.
She hoped that the new emperor would be too busy with government affairs to find fault with Yutao when he first ascended the throne. She had to remind Yutao to transfer the business in the capital to a trustworthy person before the new emperor could react, and quickly withdraw to the northwest, where it would be relatively safe in her own territory.
Yu Jiuer looked up into the distance. A morning sun was rising slowly. The bright light illuminated the entire earth, making her feel warm. She gazed quietly at the beautiful scene in the sky. An inexplicable emotion surged in her heart, and her eyes revealed a hint of firmness and confidence.
She believes that as long as she maintains a positive attitude, she will be able to realize her dreams.
They have been in the capital for two years and have brought down the eldest prince and the third prince, so it is not a loss. Even if the throne is snatched by the fifth prince in the end, haven't they gained a big "burden"?
This "burden" is, after all, an emperor. With him around, at least many things you do have a legitimate reason. He can barely be considered a trump card!
When she returns to Yinshan, she will discuss with Jun Mo and lure the troops from the capital to Yinshan County. No matter where she is, she will be king. What a big deal!
Just thinking about it is exciting!
Yu Jiuer looked at the six female killers from the Black Wind Society who were leading the way in front of her, and became more and more excited about the future.
After the male killers from the Black Wind Society sent them to Yinshan County, Yu Jiuer planned to let them return to the capital immediately and continue to hide and make money for her in the capital.
Last time, they were asked to destroy the assets of the eldest prince and the third prince and achieved some success. But after the palace coup, everything has to start from scratch.
The new emperor's assets will soon be taken over by him, and it will be difficult to deal with them. She has to ask the killers to steal them while he is busy laundering the stolen money just after ascending the throne.
"By the way, Yueying has woken up! She has returned to Yinshan County with the prince!" Jian Si only then remembered to tell Yu Jiuer the good news.
"Really?" Yu Jiuer was so happy that she almost fell off the horse. "Great! This time, my six female killers have a leader!"
Jian Si pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "Those six female assassins are not bad people. The princess let Yueying be their leader. Will they obey?"
"To be a leader you need to be smart. Looking at the people around me, Yueying is the smartest one. She is higher in both emotional intelligence and IQ than many people. Even Shadow is not as good as her! She has the capital." Yu Jiuer's eyes were full of affirmation for Yueying. She turned her head and asked Jian Si,
"Do you believe it or not, after returning to Yinshan County, Yueying will be able to subdue these six female killers in less than a month?"
Jian Si shook his head without giving any face: "I don't believe it!"
The killers are used to being idle in the martial arts world, and they are always happy to let bygones be bygones. If the princess can conquer them, that is her ability. Yueying is just a secret guard... can she have the ability of the princess?
"Let's wait and see!" Yu Jiuer smiled and whipped the horse hard, "Go!"
She was almost impatient to return to Yinshan County to see her relatives.
