Chapter 1192 – Changing of Dynasty? Impossible!

Qin Shihuang was really confident. However, reality was far from he had expected.

Be it Meng Yi or Meng Tian, both of them indirectly rejected his request. Although they were from Qin and were people that Qin Shihuang had trusted, they had given their all to Great Jin and only till death would they part.

Qin Shihuang was stunned.

As a queen of a generation, Feng Qiuhuang obviously was not a fool. Since she could allow Meng Tian to take control of the Guards Legion Corps and defend the Capital City without worry, she naturally had her method of ensuring the loyalty of the two brothers.

The tool she used was instantiation.

The moment Gaia made instantiation a thing, Feng Qiuhuang gave two spots to them, and even Guo Ziyi and the others had to wait for the next wave.

Why?

Feng Qiuhuang had foreseen this danger and had defended against it.

Unlike Ouyang Shuo, who hid the matter, Feng Qiuhuang informed the two right away. With such kindness and good fortune, the two of them would obviously be loyal to her and would not work for Qin Shihuang anymore.

The poor Qin Shihuang still did not know where emperors like him were weaker than Lords. Sadly, Li Si’s plan had failed before it was even put into place.

Without the cooperation of Meng Yi and Meng Tian, the Qin army did not dare to enter the Great Jin battlefield. If things went wrong, they might end up being wrapped up within. Not to mention expanding, but they might not be able even to protect their foundations.

…

Luoyang City, courtyard.

Ouyang Shuo summoned Han Xin to let the Leopard Legion Corps make preparations to attack.

The shamelessness of the Feng family made Ouyang Shuo realize that solving the Great Jin problem was not a simple saving the damsel in distress. At the crucial moment, they still had to let their strength do the talking.

Feng Tianlie’s threats did make sense.

If the Feng family really lost it and wanted to be shameless till the very end and dragged Great Jin into the abyss, it would affect the entire battle of the mid plains. If Great Xia did not proactively change their tactics, the future would be really bleak.

Ouyang Shuo had reason to believe that Great Zhou was not the only country that had its eyes on the mid plains.

Great Qin, the country of wolves and tigers and Great Tang that looked on aggressively. Each and every one was hard to deal with. If the so-called six country alliance really worked together, they would a threat to Great Xia.

“Let’s hope that they do not force me to use my last trump card.”

The biggest trump card naturally had to be used at the crucial moment. Ouyang Shuo was hoping to use it to overturn the old landscape of the China region. He did not want to waste it on the Great Jin battlefield.

Although Ouyang Shuo was preparing actively, what happened next was out of his control.

…

8th month, 3rd day, Fallen Phoenix City.

Since last night, a hidden current had been festering in Fallen Phoenix City. With it as the center, the current swiftly spread out around Great Jin territory in an aggressive manner.

With the help of the Difeng spies, rumors of Feng Tianlie trying to fight for the throne became more and more common and exaggerated.

Feng Tianlie locking up the queen and obtaining the power became the core of the rumors.

As Feng Qiuhuang’s poison incident was still a classified secret, Feng Tianlie suddenly seizing control had caused a lot of trepidation in the court. Along with the rumors spreading, Great Jin was shocked, resulting in a dark cloud that shrouded the ongoing life and death battle.

There were even rumors spreading in the military.

Guo Ziyi and Meng Tian were sharp enough to sense the problems within and punished those who spread the rumors, increasing military control and prohibiting the spread of such news. However, it still managed to cause some waves.

Even Guo Ziyi who was leading troops outside and did not know what was going on internally had a heavy heart.

An enemy in front of them, but the core of the country was unstable; such a matter was the biggest worry.

Along with the rumors spreading, Great Jin was slowly spread into two factions. One side wanted to protect the queen and insisted on protecting her place on the throne. These people sought and asked profusely to meet the queen.

“Since you said that the queen was resting up, we can at least visit her, right?” The officials wanted to use the time they visit her to confirm whether the queen was held hostage or not.

Feng Tianlie naturally did not allow it. He used the reason of the queen being sick and should not come into contact with outsiders to cleanly reject them. This further deepened the doubts of this faction, and the way they looked toward Feng Tianlie was filled with probing and suspicion.

Great Jin was built up single handedly by Feng Qiuhuang, and she had absolute power in Great Jin. It was not something that Feng Tianlie could change just by him having the Prince Regent title.

No one was a fool.

The other faction supported Feng Tianlie.

The Feng family was an undeniable power within the Great Jin Imperial Court. Many of them had been not happy with a girl holding the power in the family. These people were resolute in their decision to support Feng Tianlie.

Even to say that they used the reason of, ‘This is the matter of the royal family and outsiders should not interfere,’ to warn the officials to understand their situation and not interfere in royal family matters.

“If not, they were disloyal!”

A Feng family child put it like that, grabbing at the necks of the civil servants.

Apart from people from the Feng family, there were some civil servants within the Imperial Court that were recruited by the Feng family. These people jumped out to support Feng Tianlie and tried to prove the legality of him succeeding the throne.

Neither side could convince the other, and they quarreled fiercely.

As a result of the shamelessness of the Feng Family and the workings of people in the dark, a good Great Jin was showing signs of falling apart. This made people worried, and the soldiers’ morale was really low.

Great Jin palace, political discussion hall.

Feng Tianlie, who had looked so confident yesterday, was like a defeated rooster, hanging his head down in sulking defeat.

Facing problems with Ouyang Shuo had made him feel a sense of defeat. The current situation made his head swell up, and a sense of helplessness corroded at his mind.

The position of emperor looked really glorious, but it was not something that anybody could command.

Just like Feng Tianlie, who did not have enough prestige to suppress those who wanted to keep Feng Qiuhuang. He could not turn all their attention to the outside enemy. He also did not have enough skill to calm down the chaos and think of a way to solve the current problem.

As for the people in the family who went clamoring for changing the rule, they made him scold out. These children were so dense and actually did not know who the Great Jin army actually listened to.

For example, Personal Guards commander Ran Min seeming did not take a stance since the queen faced assassination, but in truth, he had locked down the place. He stuck close to the queen, letting no one get close. It was obvious that he only listened to the queen.

Guo Ziyi, Meng Tian, Zhou Bo, and the other generals were all recruited by Feng Qiuhuang. They looked like they did not interfere in politics, and they did not take a stance now, but it was obvious that they were with Feng Qiuhuang.

Feng Tianlie dared to bet that the moment he tried to change the dynasty and take over as king, Meng Tian who was defending the Capital City would oppose him.

One must not forget that prime minister Meng Yi knew about what had happened to the queen. If Meng Yi knows, then Meng Tian would also know. At the key moment, with Meng Tian’s decisiveness, he might work with Ran Min and commit regicide to save the queen.

They did not do it now mostly because the situation had not worsened to such a level.

No matter what, to these historical people, the ruler and servant ideology was ingrained in them, and they had a mental obstacle to committing regicide.

‘Without an army in my hands, what kind of scheming for the throne can I make?’

However, to give up and drag Feng Qiuhuang out to save the situation was something Feng Tianlie was not willing to do. First, he was not willing to fail just like that, as this was their only chance.

If they missed it, the Feng family royal family dream would end just like that, and none of them were willing for that to happen.

Secondly, he was worried that once she woke up, she would take revenge.

Feng Tianlie was really clear about the temper of his sister.

If she found out that Great Jin became so messy within a day because of him, she would definitely skin him alive.

Along with the useless family children jumping out and clamoring, it would only make her disappointed to the max. In the future, not only would joining Great Xia be unavoidable, but the Feng family might not even be able to live a prosperous life.

“***!”

Feng Tianlie hurled vulgarities. Both of his hands grasped his hair as he ruffled it. Currently, he was totally annoyed.

Facing such a scalding topic, Feng Tianlie chose to be a tortoise and not do anything.

…

Great Jin did not do anything, but the starter of all this, Great Zhou, was bearing down on Fallen Phoenix City.

On one side, Difeng struck out, spreading rumors to shake the military of Great Jin. Secondly, they engaged in secret assassinations, killing those who wanted to protect the queen and blaming it on Feng Tianlie.

This time, Feng Tianlie could not argue for his innocence.

On the other side, Great Zhou was prepared to surround and destroy the blazing legion corps that had not entered the city. Since Fallen Phoenix City was unstable and the Guards Legion Corps did not dare to move carelessly, they would take this chance to first destroy the blazing legion corps.

If the blazing legion corps was crushed, taking down Fallen Phoenix City would not be a difficult matter.

The huge changes to the Great Jin battlefield took away the attention of everyone.
