Chapter 233 Stop! His Majesty has decreed!
Cao Yun's words were like throwing a colossal boulder into a calm lake.
The square outside Fengtian Hall was eerily quiet, with only the sound of the wind making the Roushan Army flags flutter in the wind!
The Crown Prince simply could not accept what Cao Yun said.
How can the words Jiang Yueli, princess, and God of War of the Great Zhou be connected?
However, before he could raise any questions, Qian Tao and the other military officers made their move.
The military officers who had attended the deer-hunting banquet that day knelt on the ground almost without hesitation.
They bowed to Jiang Yueli and said, "We, your humble servants, pay our respects to the Commander-in-Chief!"
The Blue-Faced War Goddess was only the commander-in-chief of the border army five years ago, but in the eyes of these military generals, she will always be the commander-in-chief!
Qian Tao was so excited that he was almost incoherent. He had long suspected Jiang Yueli's identity, but he felt like he was having a fit of hysteria, so he never dared to be sure.
The contrast is too great that Princess Jiang Yueli is associated with the war god who is fighting bitterly on the border!
Now that the identity of the Green-Faced War God has finally been confirmed, Qian Tao is eager to draw his sword and kill Jiang Yueshan, and help the Princess ascend to the throne.
What does it matter if someone is a woman or not? In front of the Blue-Faced War God, there is no difference between men and women.
Military generals with volatile tempers like Feng Polu were even more direct.
As soon as he stood up, he began to stir restlessly, cursing and swearing, showing no respect for the Crown Prince whatsoever.
"Commander-in-Chief, Jiang Yueshan has rebelled and forced the emperor to abdicate. The Imperial Noble Consort has deposed him from his position as Crown Prince. I request to lead the vanguard and wipe out the rebels for you!"
As Feng Polu spoke, his eyes were fixed on the Crown Prince.
He was determined that as long as the princess gave the order, he would seize the opportunity to capture the leader first!
Three thousand Golden Guards are nothing; even if they're covered in blood, they'll fight to take down the bandits for their commander.
The military officers' excitement also infected the civil officials. These scholars, who had never been on the battlefield, looked at Jiang Yueli as if she were a true god descending to earth.
Who could have imagined that a seemingly hopeless situation would be reversed by a seemingly useless princess?
Wang Shu was so excited that he almost fainted. His blood flowed faster from head to toe, causing his blood pressure to spike and his vision to become blurry!
If it weren't for the fear of having a stroke, Wang Shu would have loved to let this blissful feeling continue.
But with sudden success within reach, he finally made the right bet after half a lifetime of political career.
We must not give up before dawn!
Wang Shuqiang suppressed his excitement, slowed his breathing, and looked up at the rising sun again, a surge of pride welling up in his heart.
With the rising sun, the Great Zhou court is about to undergo a complete transformation.
This time, it's finally my turn to turn the tables!
Chen Wenyu's beard was trembling, clearly overwhelmed by the sudden surprise.
In the present Great Zhou Dynasty, the emperor hides in the inner palace, the crown prince is utterly depraved, the wicked concubine oversees the country and interferes in politics, a blizzard ravages the capital, and the people are displaced.
Just when it seemed the country was on the verge of collapse, a princess suddenly appeared out of nowhere!
This was the Great Zhou War God who once struck fear into the hearts of the Qing Kingdom!
The Crown Prince's rebellion and coup attempt did not, to some extent, shock Chen Wenyu.
In his heart, even if he wasn't the crown prince, among all the princes in the court, who could shoulder the responsibility?
But now, everything has changed!
The appearance of the eldest princess quickly clarified the situation. Who said that my Great Zhou has no successor?
A wise ruler is right before our eyes!
The heavy snow in the capital has been falling for almost a month, and the people haven't even seen the sun in that time.
But today, during the grand court assembly, the sun slowly rose from the east. Although it was shrouded in a thin mist, light still emanated from the mist.
The heavy snow has not yet stopped, but the snow under the sunlight always seems gentler.
At first, the courtiers thought it was an unusual celestial phenomenon caused by the Crown Prince's rebellion and coup attempt.
Looking at it now, this is actually a good omen!
The situation took a sudden turn. Bai Xiaoxiao, the Imperial Noble Consort, stood behind the assembled officials, her expression calm.
However, as he looked at the valiant and capable princess who was in control of the situation, a subtle emotion flickered in his eyes.
Cao Yun defected on the eve of battle, and the Crown Prince completely lost power.
Before he could come up with a solution, the commander of the Imperial Guards suddenly knelt down and begged for mercy from the princess.
"Your Highness, spare my life! I was coerced by the Crown Prince... no, I was coerced by the Fourth Prince and had no choice but to mobilize the Imperial Guards to force the emperor to abdicate."
"After Commander Zhu died, the Fourth Prince promoted me to Commander of the Imperial Guard, but he doesn't trust me at all. My whole family is in the Fourth Prince's hands. If I don't obey the Fourth Prince's orders, my whole family may be in danger of losing their lives."
After the commander of the Imperial Guards knelt down, someone suddenly moved among the Imperial Guards who were surrounding the court officials with a steel sword in hand.
Clang—
As the sound of a steel blade hitting the ground rang out, more and more Imperial Guards threw their swords to the ground.
The Three Thousand Golden Guards were the Crown Prince's private army and his greatest asset in the palace.
Now that they have all surrendered, he is completely all alone!
Jiang Yueli looked at the Crown Prince and said in a calm tone, "Yueshan, the victor is king and the loser is villain. In this battle, you have lost."
The crown prince staggered back two steps, his face ashen.
Even now, he still can't accept that he lost.
He clearly had three thousand Golden Guards, and he clearly held the Tiger Tally, which allowed him to mobilize an army of five hundred thousand.
Obviously...
He clearly had the advantage, so why did he lose so decisively?
The crown prince raised his eyes, a mad glint in them, and pointed at Cao Yun and the other military generals.
His tone was full of madness: "You fine young men, brave and skilled warriors, would actually willingly submit to a woman?"
"My Great Zhou Dynasty is doomed! A hundred years from now, how will you face your ancestors?"
The crown prince was unwilling to accept defeat, unwilling to lose to Jiang Yueli, this "useless" woman, and also unwilling to lose to a woman.
However, the military officers he criticized all looked at him with indifference.
The 20,000 Roushan soldiers behind Cao Yun were also filled with murderous intent, and remained unmoved by the Crown Prince's accusations.
Cao Yun sneered, "Fourth Prince, what we military generals need to be most worthy of is the Great Zhou and its people!"
"A soldier's life is all about fighting on the battlefield, achieving great deeds, and deterring the enemy from invading. With the Princess, all of this can be achieved!"
"Not to mention that we are willing to submit to the princess, even if our ancestors came back to life, they would still respectfully kowtow to the princess!"
Zhou Wei, who was listening nearby, really wanted to give Cao Yun a thumbs up.
What an eloquent and eloquent military general! He has a bright future ahead of him!
Zhou Wei jokingly said to the Crown Prince, "Ah Shan, stop now, the Rou Shan Army is outside."
The Crown Prince glared at Zhou Wei and also uttered harsh words.
"I am the Crown Prince, and I will always be the Crown Prince! What is the Imperial Noble Consort? How dare she depose the heir apparent?"
"Jiang Yueli, even if you win this time, so what? You are a woman, and the position of crown prince will never be yours."
"Even if I am gone, I still have my eldest and second brothers. As for your useless younger brother, let alone that he is now crippled, even if he were healthy, would a good-for-nothing like him be worthy of being the crown prince?"
"Consort Li's life is cheap, so what good can you two, brother and sister, be?"
Cao Yun was furious upon hearing this and shouted sternly, "Insolence! How dare you disrespect your commander! Archers, prepare!"
Swah——
Behind them, in the formation of 20,000 Roushan soldiers, archers raised their bows in unison.
All that's needed is for the commander to give the order, and then a volley of arrows can be unleashed!
At the critical moment, a sharp voice suddenly rang out.
"Stop! His Majesty has decreed!"
