Chapter 50 Summoning the King of Liang Back to the Capital
Even the Qin Emperor hadn't expected that his good-for-nothing sixth son would now possess such immense power. After all, he wouldn't dare to easily offend the three great families!
I can't let this continue. He's still in his prime. If I let him continue, sooner or later his power will surpass mine as emperor, and then I'll probably have to abdicate.
Therefore, he had to suppress them, and besides, he was also extremely envious of the 20 cavalrymen under his rebellious son.
However, he was also puzzled as to who had spread these messages.
The fact that this force could spread this news throughout the entire Qin Dynasty shows that it was not to be underestimated.
"Quiet!"
Thinking of this, the majestic voice of the Qin Emperor rang out, and the entire court fell silent instantly. Everyone stood respectfully in place, waiting for the Qin Emperor's instructions.
"As the Crown Prince has said, summon the Prince of Liang back to the capital. At the same time, send men to Liangzhou to take over the Prince of Liang's cavalry and bring them back to the capital to protect our dynasty's capital..."
"Imperial Emperor Qin said in a deep voice."
After the Emperor Qin finished speaking, the entire court was in an uproar. No one expected that His Majesty would agree to the Crown Prince's request and even want to send people to take over the army under the command of the King of Liang.
Did Your Majesty not consider that the Prince of Liang might not agree?
If we push the King of Liang too far, won't he rebel?
With a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator and 20 late-stage Foundation Establishment cavalry, the Qin Dynasty might not be able to withstand them.
After all, the Liang King's cavalry had been tested in war, and even the Blood Barbarian Dynasty's 500 million-strong army was no match for them. If the Liang King's army marched south and went straight into the capital, the capital would be in grave danger.
"His Majesty!"
"My mind is made up. There's no need for further persuasion. Immediately dispatch troops to Liangzhou..."
A minister wanted to offer some advice, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the Emperor of Qin.
The minister had no choice but to retreat back into the queue, shaking his head repeatedly, sensing that something terrible was about to happen.
The Emperor Qin looked at the expressionless faces below. He had naturally considered the pros and cons, but he did not believe that Ying Chen would resist.
After all, he was someone I had watched grow up since he was a child. Although I sometimes couldn't understand why Ying Chen would say things that were hard to understand, I still understood his personality.
He was weak and incompetent, and obeyed his every word. When he was told to go to Liangzhou, he went without hesitation without uttering a word of objection. He did not believe that such a person would defy his orders.
As for why someone he didn't think much of would gain such power, in his view, it was just pure luck.
As for the fact that Lu Bing had shown him no respect in the main hall before, he didn't care.
He believed that it was all the Nascent Soul expert's own doing, after all, how could a Nascent Soul expert possibly obey the orders of a Foundation Establishment cultivator!
Upon seeing this, a smug smile appeared on the Crown Prince's face; he felt that the matter was settled.
As for Wu Yuande, a military general, his gaze toward the Qin Emperor was filled with disappointment. He couldn't even tolerate his own son. Could such an emperor really lead the Qin Dynasty to prosperity?
At this moment, Wu Yuande had deep doubts and questioned the late emperor's decision to pass the throne to the current Qin emperor.
He decided that after the court session, he would go to find the late emperor and tell him about this.
Soon, a messenger carrying an imperial edict traveled by airship to Liangzhou.
All forces in the capital began to prepare, and the capital was suddenly filled with unpredictable events and undercurrents. All forces turned their attention to the capital and Liangzhou.
...............
Deep in a mountain range south of the Qin Dynasty, various palaces stand tall, shrouded in celestial mist, and strange beasts gallop about, creating an atmosphere of otherworldly beauty.
This is the residence of the Ye family, one of the three great families of the Qin Dynasty. The younger sister of the current head of the Ye family is the current Qin emperor's concubine, and the mother of the fourth prince.
Unlike the Su and Qi families, the Ye family did not establish their clan residence within a city, but instead set up their clan territory within the Tianwu Mountains.
Moreover, the members of the clan are not keen on official careers and have little desire for power. They are often engrossed in cultivating immortality. The Ye family is also the strongest of the three major families, with two Nascent Soul experts on the surface, one of whom is in the mid-Nascent Soul stage.
As for how many powerful figures are still hidden in the shadows, no one knows.
At this moment, inside the main hall of the Ye family.
Dozens of family elders and deacons gathered here, all with solemn expressions, standing silently as if waiting for someone to arrive...
Tap tap tap~~
A moment later, footsteps sounded, and a middle-aged man helped an elderly man with white hair walk in from outside.
Upon seeing the two, the Ye family members immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Clan Chief and Elder!"
The visitors were the patriarch and elders of the Ye family.
They are also the two publicly known Nascent Soul experts of the Ye family. The Ye family patriarch is at the early stage of Nascent Soul, and the Ye family elder is at the middle stage of Nascent Soul.
The two walked past the many members of the Ye family and arrived at the top of the main hall, where two chairs were placed, prepared for them.
Apart from the two of them, no one else is qualified to sit there unless they reach the Nascent Soul stage, in which case they can sit above them.
However, becoming a deity is extremely difficult, and many people cannot achieve it even in their entire lives.
Ye Tianyi, the patriarch of the Ye family, sat in the patriarch's reserved seat, while Ye Jingyao, an elder of the family, sat beside him. As soon as he sat down, he closed his eyes to rest, seemingly having no intention of interfering in the affairs of the family.
"Clan leader, the fourth prince has sent word that he hopes our Ye family can send a Nascent Soul expert to the capital to protect his safety."
Below, an elder stepped forward and said respectfully.
Ye Tianyi sat in his chair and nodded indifferently, saying expressionlessly, "I understand. Reply to the Fourth Prince that my clan will dispatch a Nascent Soul expert and five Core Formation experts to protect his safety! He need not worry..."
"Here!"
The elder spoke respectfully, and then withdrew.
"Clan leader, what do you think of the recent rumors? Are they true or false?"
An elder stepped forward and spoke.
Ye Tianyi naturally knew what rumor the elder was referring to.
He calmly said, "Whether it's true or false isn't that important. What's important is the person who spread this rumor..."
"According to the information our clan has received, the rumors not only include news about the Liang King destroying the Qi family and the Dark Pavilion, but also a lot of news about the Liang King himself, such as the Liang King being exiled to the desolate lands of Liangzhou, and later defeating the Blood Barbarian Dynasty. Every piece of news seems to be beneficial to the Liang King..."
"This makes me suspect that the Prince of Liang himself spread this news to create momentum for himself, and it seems that he has done so very successfully..."
"Does the clan leader mean that all of this was orchestrated by the Liang King?"
The elder said uncertainly.
