Chapter 137 She is the One
"They moved!"
Late at night, Dong Ling's sharp gaze pierced through the boundless darkness and saw the movements of the border troops clearly.
The other side was eager for success and profit, so they sent out all their troops in full force, hoping to take advantage of the unstable formation of the rebels during their retreat and achieve their goal in one fell swoop.
But what they never expected was that Jiang Sining had already anticipated the actions of the border troops. On the surface, he was asking the rebels to evacuate, but in fact he was setting up a pocket formation in the dark, waiting for them to fall into it.
Now that the opponent was about to fall into the trap, Si Chenan's heart began to beat uncontrollably.
"Can't bear to leave?" Jiang Sining asked.
Si Chenan nodded and said, "After all, they are all my father's former subordinates and warriors who guard the border."
Jiang Sining is also well aware of this, so tonight is not a battle of annihilation.
She prepared some things and formulated a strategy, intending to incite as many border troops as possible to rebel.
When the border troops entered the encirclement, Jiang Sining gave decisive orders. Suddenly, bright torches were lit around the border troops, and countless powerful insurgents surrounded the border troops.
The commander Han Feimao did not expect to fall into the rebels' trap and immediately ordered the border troops to form a defensive formation.
But what surprised him was that the rebels did not attack immediately, thus wasting the opportunity.
Just as he was about to give the order to break out, a soldier quickly ran up to him.
"General, the rebel leader Si Chenan wants to speak to you."
Han Feimao frowned: "Is Si Chenan dead?"
"General, the man in front of the battle line looks like Si Chenan."
Han Feimao knew that the longer the time dragged on, the more beneficial it would be for the border troops.
So he rode his war horse and came to the front of the two armies. He saw that the person on the opposite horse was indeed Si Chenan.
"General Han." Si Chenan bowed from a distance.
"How dare you stand before this general, you traitor of the Si family?"
"If I am a traitor, then what is General Han?" Si Chenan said loudly, "My father treated you well in the past, how could you be so cruel as to frame him?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"I have sufficient evidence!" Si Chenan shouted, "You colluded with the Minister of Revenue Zeng Fanguo to frame my father, and colluded with the Ninth Prince to try to seize power and usurp the throne! I have solid evidence for all of this!"
Si Chenan's words made the generals behind Han Feimao look at each other in bewilderment.
Everyone used to be General Si's subordinates, and they had been suspicious of the general's treason. Now what Si Chenan said was exactly in line with everyone's expectations.
Seeing that his generals had begun to doubt, Han Feimao shouted again: "Don't listen to his nonsense. I, Han Feimao, am loyal to Your Majesty. How could I do such a thing?"
"Really?" Si Chenan asked, "Why has Zeng Junru, the only daughter of the Minister of Revenue Zeng Fanguo, been in your central army tent?"
"You bullshit!"
"You'll know right away if I'm talking nonsense or not."
As soon as Si Chenan finished speaking, the soldier who had come to report the news suddenly jumped up, jumped onto the warhorse next to Han Feimao, and knocked a handsome young general off the horse.
Zeng Junru wanted to resist, but she was no match for Jiang Sining and was kicked to the ground. Jiang Sining stepped forward and took off her helmet, exposing her to the public.
The generals in the army were stunned. This was indeed the only daughter of the Minister of Revenue Zeng Fanguo.
What good could come of a rich lady hiding in the army?
"General Han," a general asked coldly, "what is going on?"
Han Feimao saw that the situation was not good, and he didn't care whether Zeng Junru lived or died, and he forcibly explained: "She is fake!"
As he said this, he quickly drew out the sword in his hand and was about to kill the person to silence him.
Just when the sword was about to kill Zeng Junru, two silver needles silently pierced into his chest, causing his whole body to stiffen, and suddenly he couldn't even move his fingers.
Dong Ling, who was hiding nearby, swooped out and put his sword on Han Feimao's neck.
The main general was controlled and the other generals didn't know what to do, but Si Chenan turned over, dismounted and walked over.
He saluted to the generals and said, "My dear uncles, you have watched Chen An grow up, and you all know very well what kind of character Chen An has."
Everyone nodded slightly, this was indeed true.
"Han Feimao is now secretly colluding with the Minister of Revenue to murder the Crown Prince and force Your Majesty to abdicate," Si Chenan said, "If I'm not mistaken, the Ninth Prince should have succeeded by now and led the Imperial Guards into the palace. He will be announced to ascend the throne tomorrow. So now is not the time for us to fight each other, but we should work together and enter the capital to restore order!"
The meaning of this statement is very clear. Si Chenan is planning to drag the border troops into rebellion.
The military generals were not as afraid of rebellion as the civil officials. Now that the border troops and the rebel army together numbered more than 200,000, it would be easy to capture the capital.
So when Si Chenan said this, many people were immediately moved.
"Nephew," a simple-minded general said, "you said the old general was framed. Are you serious?"
"It's absolutely true." Si Chen An said, "And I believe that my father is still alive."
"Is the old general still alive?"
Everyone was shocked. If General Si was still alive, this rebellion would definitely be possible.
"Okay, okay, we will go with you to the capital to see what the Ninth Prince is up to!"
Seeing that the border troops were instigated to rebel so easily, Si Chenan breathed a sigh of relief.
When Jiang Sining proposed this method before, he thought it was too risky. Now it is indeed so smooth. It seems that he is still far inferior to his wife in grasping people's hearts.
Si Chenan ordered the rebel army to give way to one direction and reorganized the formation, splitting it into two with the border troops and marching into the capital from the east and west respectively.
However, the walls of the capital were too high and there were countless soldiers guarding them, so the border army generals planned to start the attack after daybreak.
But at this moment, a loud rumbling sound came from the west wall, followed by countless shouts of killing. The rebels had rushed into the city through dozens of gaps that were blown open.
Just as the border army generals were surprised, Dong Ling came with a team of people, holding shields and installing dozens of gunpowder bags under the city wall.
With a loud rumbling sound, dozens of huge holes appeared in the eastern city wall in an instant.
The border army general had no time to be surprised and immediately ordered his soldiers to charge into the city and head straight for the palace.
The Ninth Prince, who had already taken control of the Eastern Palace and killed the Crown Prince, suddenly heard that the border troops and the rebel army had entered the city and were about to attack the Imperial Palace. He was frightened out of his wits.
The Minister of Revenue Zeng Fanguo, who was with him, was even more frightened.
He just couldn't understand why he started fighting with the Ninth Prince, because he had clearly received news from his daughter that the border troops would defeat the rebels tonight.
But I didn't expect that the situation would suddenly reverse in just over an hour.
Now that the army has surrounded the imperial city, the crimes of him and the ninth prince will undoubtedly be exposed, and there is no hope for them to survive.
The two men looked at each other and suffocated the terminally ill old emperor to death on the dragon bed. The ninth prince put on a new dragon robe, came to the main hall, sat on the dragon throne, and fulfilled his fantasy of being an emperor.
The only court official was the Minister of Revenue Zeng Fanguo.
When Si Chenan and a group of generals arrived, both of them had already committed suicide by taking poison.
The Great Xia Dynasty collapsed just like that.
When the generals saw that the emperor, the crown prince and the princes were all dead and there was no successor in the royal family, they wanted to support Si Chenan to succeed to the throne.
After all, when the city wall was blown up before, the generals were already conquered by this supernatural power.
But unexpectedly, Si Chenan was unwilling to ascend the throne.
"Why?" the silly general asked, "The country cannot afford to have the King of Wu for a day, nephew, you take charge first."
"It's not that I don't want to, but there are people who are more suitable than me."
"Who?"
"My wife, Jiang Sining!"
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. What was going on with this nephew? This was the throne, and he was going to give it to his wife?
"Nephew, can your wife become the emperor?"
"Yes." Si Chenan said, "If there is anyone who can do this, it must be her!"
"Okay, since you said so, let's support her to ascend the throne!"
"Now go get all those civil officials here and settle this matter!"
"Anyone who dares to object will be thrown into prison!"
……
At this time, Jiang Sining did not know that she was already the first empress in the history of Daxia.
After daybreak, slowly enter the city through the city gate.
Although the city wall was bombed last night, there was almost no damage inside the city. Although the people were scared, when they got up they saw that the streets were almost the same as usual. Some people who were forced to make a living still went about their business.
Jiang Sining ate a bowl of steaming wontons at a stall selling wontons, and then came to the palace with Dong Ling's greeting.
As soon as they arrived at the palace gate, countless soldiers and civil and military officials knelt on the ground in unison.
"What's going on?" Jiang Sining asked.
"Madam," Si Chenan said, "After the unanimous agreement of all civil and military officials, we have decided to support you as the new emperor of Daxia. Madam, please... no, please, Your Majesty, ascend the throne!"
"Your Majesty please ascend the throne!"
"Your Majesty please ascend the throne!"
……
Jiang Sining was completely numb.
How can he ascend the throne after just eating a bowl of wontons?
Si Chenan, if you want to do something like this again in the future, can you please discuss it with me first?
