Chapter 125 Waiting for the Mother Gu to Appear
Chapter 125 Waiting for the Mother Gu to Appear
Inside the magnificent palace, the emperor sat on the dragon throne, staring gloomily at the news coming to him.
His eyes were filled with disbelief and anger.
He immediately ordered General Wang to organize the troops in the imperial capital to resist, and he wanted to ask King Gu for help.
Just two days ago, he had just learned the news of Prince Yun's uprising and immediately dispatched a large number of troops to suppress it.
However, the result was beyond everyone's expectations.
Not only did these soldiers fail to stop King Yun's army, but they surrendered one after another and all joined King Yun's army.
Moreover, the troops who defected to King Yun all said that King Yun was the daughter of a real dragon.
Only King Yun can lead them to a better life, where they can have enough food and clothing even in the face of natural disasters and never go hungry again.
When the news came back, the emperor was so angry that he laughed.
Are they living a bad life now?
He believed that he was still a wise emperor, and at least under his leadership, the people could still have enough food to eat.
As for the harassment of other kings by the soldiers of Cang Kingdom at the border, doesn’t that happen every year?
Why can't you bear it now?
Even when natural disasters occurred in other places, he sent some food to provide support.
He did much better than the late emperor.
He thought he was a wise emperor!
As a result, these untouchables and soldiers were not satisfied.
He sent them to attack King Yun, but they ended up joining the enemy.
I just don’t know why King Yun’s army didn’t attack immediately after arriving here.
Just surround the entire imperial capital.
The total number of King Yun's troops and those who came to join him was 10.
There were only 20,000 soldiers left in the imperial capital.
As long as Xie Chengnian's army started attacking, he would have no power to fight back.
He really underestimated Prince Yun's family.
Xie Chengwen was originally very capable, so the late emperor took action at that time.
He always thought that the old emperor's plan would fail.
At that time, the Gu King activated his sub-Gu and sent out assassins but failed to kill Xie Chengwen.
As a result, Prince Yun Xie Chengwen died as they wished.
But who could have expected that Xie Chengnian, as a woman, would be so courageous and resourceful.
When his brother was murdered in a conspiracy and his father suffered a stroke.
Xie Chengnian stepped forward and quickly took control of the entire Prince Yun's Mansion, hiding it from the eyes of the two emperors.
Even the emperor himself mistakenly believed that it was because the Gu King was too weak to activate his sub-Gu that Xie Chengwen was able to escape by luck.
Originally, after he succeeded to the throne, he was planning to find an opportunity to kill Xie Chengwen.
But at that time, it was reported that Prince Yun was injured, and it was his vitals that were injured, so he would not be able to have children in the future.
Without offspring, this lineage will be cut off.
He could have waited until King Yun died and then taken back the fiefdom openly.
Therefore, the emperor did not take immediate action, and Prince Yun has indeed no children to this day.
But that’s because the current Prince Yun is Xie Chengnian. If she doesn’t give birth, how can she have other children?
Now, the emperor was in deep regret.
He regretted that he had not decisively sent people to eliminate Prince Yun's family, which led to today's disaster.
If he had not just ascended the throne and his foundation was not stable, his good brothers would have been eyeing his position covetously, wanting to replace him.
The problem was finally solved, but he paid a heavy price for his contempt for other princes.
Now people are saying that Princess Xie Chengnian is the daughter of a real dragon and the queen chosen by God.
He doesn't believe that anyone who dares to disobey will be punished.
There are no dragons in this world.
Xie Chengnian must have used some means to make the people mistakenly believe that she was the daughter of a real dragon.
And in a short period of time, they reached the imperial capital.
He can no longer sit and wait for death. If Xie Chengnian really succeeds, that will be his death.
Xie Chengnian would never let him go like this.
No, he still has to call the Gu King.
If he doesn't ask King Gu for help, his reign as emperor will be over.
When he first received the news that Xie Chengnian was rebelling, he didn't take it seriously.
The lives of these kings are in his hands.
He had no way of letting the Gu King kill all the Feng Wang at once, but killing just one was easy.
He will go find the Gu King now. As long as the Gu King takes action, Xie Chengnian will have no choice but to wait for death.
She actually dared to lead a rebellion. It was really easy for her to just let the King of Gu activate his sub-Gu.
At that time, he will kill all the nine clans of those who joined him in the rebellion.
So, when everyone in the palace was in a panic, the emperor ran to the Xiaotai Temple.
Outside the imperial palace is a large ancestral temple, where the emperor usually holds ancestral worship ceremonies.
A place specially used for enshrining tablets of the emperor's ancestors and performing sacrificial activities.
The Xiao Taimiao is a small, exquisite, solemn and majestic Taimiao. From the outside, it seems to be no different from other temples, but it actually hides a mystery.
It is announced to the outside world that this is the place where the tablets of emperors of all dynasties are enshrined, so that the current emperor can go there to pay homage whenever he thinks of his ancestors, to show his respect and remembrance.
However, the truth is far from that simple.
In this so-called small imperial temple, the real person being worshipped is not the deceased emperor.
Instead, they worship the mysterious and awe-inspiring Gu King.
Generally speaking, except at specific times, the emperor would go to the Xiaotai Temple to offer sacrifices and feed.
Now, after what happened to Xie Chengnian, the emperor came to the Xiaotai Temple in advance.
On the way the emperor went to the Xiaotai Temple, Su Anan also used his spiritual sense to keep a close eye on the emperor's situation.
Before, their army did not take action after arriving at the imperial capital because they wanted to learn more about the mother Gu.
They have all kinds of advanced weapons and they are not afraid of the emperor.
But he will be afraid of the mother Gu.
That's why they didn't attack immediately.
Now that she saw the emperor really enter the Xiaotai Temple, Su Anan knew that she was not wrong.
She and the system had scanned this place before, and immediately felt that this was the most likely place for the mother Gu.
But after carefully scanning the small temple, he even saw the hair of various kings placed inside, but he did not see the mother Gu.
But they can be sure that this is the place where the mother Gu is worshipped.
Especially the inky black ancient jar placed directly in the middle.
It looked like a jar for raising poisonous insects, but there was no trace of any poisonous insects inside.
That's why they didn't attack rashly.
After all, the mother Gu was able to obtain so many merits, and must have made a great contribution to the establishment of the State of Yan.
They definitely have to be on their guard.
Now we just have to wait for the mother Gu to appear and see what’s so special about it.
When the emperor stepped into the Taimiao, he signaled everyone else to stop, and even the servants in the temple were dismissed.
At this moment, in the huge Taimiao, the only things that were there were flickering candlelight and wisps of rising incense.
Wait until everything around him is quiet again and the emperor is alone.
He slowly bent his knees and knelt down facing the ancestral tablets.
Facing the ancient jar that was as black as ink, he began to pray silently with a pious heart.
The emperor looked solemn, and his voice was low and slightly panicked: "King Gu, there is a rebellion by King Feng, and now they have attacked the imperial capital. Please help save the Yan Kingdom from the water and fire!"
The emperor's words were full of earnestness and pleading.
Now the only one he can count on is the Gu King.
