    The battle for the throne that Xue Yao was prepared to face did not happen immediately.

    The state mourns for three years, and the actual period of mourning is twenty-seven months. However, the country cannot be without a king for a day. Daqi uses the sun instead of the month. Generally, after twenty-seven days, the new emperor's enthronement ceremony will be held.

    There is a difference between enthronement and enthronement. After the death of the previous emperor, the crown prince ascended the throne, but the enthronement ceremony will not be held until a month later.

    The prince's situation is worrying.

    The Tong family interest group behind the third prince was cultivated by the emperor over the years.

    In addition to the Tong family army who openly supported the anti-Japanese army, the Tong family power in the court was also used by the emperor to check and balance the Qingliu Group.

    It is precisely because the rights of the Tong Family Group were given by the emperor that the third prince, this idiot, has been able to run rampant in the harem for so many years.

    For the emperor who holds real power, it is very simple to slowly cut off the Tong family's wings. He originally planned to suppress the Tong family before abdicating the throne, leaving only a few remaining members for the prince to establish his authority.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that he would die so early, before he even established the Tong family interest group.

    "This mess is now falling on the prince's head. Even if the prince ascends the throne directly, it will be a disaster. What's more, now that the imperial edict has been changed and he returned to the palace privately, he is full of accusations.

    Now that the situation in the DPRK and China is at a critical stage, fortunately no one dares to cause trouble during the twenty-seven days of national mourning, and the third prince is also suppressed by Concubine Tong to stay put.

    The prince¡¯s party members have directly addressed the prince as the emperor and determined that the prince is the emperor.

    The members of the Tong family are very low-key, and the imperial edict is now in the hands of the third prince. The one who takes the throne should be King Ning, but King Ning is currently missing.

    Who made Prince Ning disappear?  Of course, the deposed prince who was "recast" is the most suspect.

    Half a month has passed, and the seventh prince has not been escorted back yet. The prince is heartbroken and has sent people to the border to urge him.

    Concubine Xi was also burned inside and out. All the princes returned to the capital safely, but her son did not come back.

    Xue Yao comforted her because her father Huang Bintian was stimulated and His Highness stayed at the border and refused to return to the palace.

    Concubine Xi still had a sad face. Xue Yao guessed that most of the sadness was due to the disappearance of her son, and the other half was due to losing the emperor's blessing and worries about her and her child's future. Concubine Xi was not very sad because of the emperor's death.

    In the entire harem, it seems that only the queen has aged ten years because of the emperor's death.

    A month later, an urgent letter was sent from Frontier, sealed by the Seventh Prince. However, the letter was not written by the Seventh Prince, but by the Sword Master himself.

    The Sword Master said that Lu Qian had been retrieved by him. He somehow managed to escape. Fortunately, the Khitan army was nowhere to be found, and the Khitan king was nowhere to be found. He and Master Xu followed  It took three days to capture the seventh prince.

    The letter stated that Lu Qian's temperament had become a little weird, he had difficulty communicating, and he wanted to kill the Khitan King with his own hands.

    Sword Master and Master Xu were worried that the child might be suffering from some illness, so they planned to teach him some introductory skills to help him avenge his father and let him untie the knot in his heart.

    This made Xue Yao breathe a sigh of relief, but Concubine Xi couldn't understand why the martial arts hero wanted to accept his son as his apprentice and teach him martial arts. He went everywhere begging the queen and the prince to go to the border to find his son for him.

    However, without the emperor¡¯s exclusive favor, who would have time to deal with this once favored concubine?  Concubine Xi's request was ignored every day, but Xue Yao always patiently tried to comfort her, and promised that as soon as she had a chance, she would go to the border to find the sword master and bring the little fat kid back.

    At the same time, the battle for the throne finally inevitably began.

    Xue Yao, as part of the prince's faction, went to court to confirm the details of the third prince's house arrest and the subsequent dispatch of troops to hunt down the seventh prince.

    The third prince quibbled, saying that after listening to the imperial edict, he urgently protected his seventh brother and took strict precautions to prevent "intentional people" from murdering the new prince.

    He also said that if he wanted to send troops to chase the Seventh Prince, why didn't he do it while he was under house arrest? It can be seen that those chasing troops were ordered by others!

    After being acquitted, the third prince rebuked the prince for disregarding his father's safety and leaving the camp without permission, which was tantamount to desertion. Not only was he ineligible to ascend the throne, he should also be punished by military law. Otherwise, the prince's crimes would be exposed to the world.

    The second prince couldn't keep his temper and wanted to stand up and say that he had summoned the prince back to the court to handle government affairs, but he was stopped by the prince.

    Now that the prince has lost power due to his crime, he may no longer be able to unite the forces outside the court. The third prince holds the three military talismans and the imperial edict of the late emperor, so he has a slight advantage.

    "If the second prince gets involved in this muddy water, he will probably be regarded as guilty of the same crime. If he loses his duty of supervising the country, the prince will have no foothold.

    The two factions are at a stalemate, and government affairs seem to be the same as before.p; No circle is immune to the law that bad money drives out good money. The longer the internal fighting lasts, the more the prince's incorruptible character will put him at a disadvantage.

    A year later, half of the people in the cabinet and the princes in the six ministries had defected.

    Xue Yao¡¯s grandfather, Zhou Chong, was the second assistant to the cabinet and also served as the minister of the Ministry of Industry. He was also one of the only two princes left in the cabinet.

    At the end of the year, the Daqi account books of the Accounts Department were checked, and Zhou Chong recorded a huge deficit of two million taels in the accounts of the Works Department.

    This money was supposed to be allocated to the Ministry of Works to pay for the transportation of materials for the garden construction. The garden was built by the late emperor during his lifetime. After the death of the late emperor, there was no time to meet the construction deadline. This money was requested by the Ministry of War to be used to build warships.

    The Ministry of Industry didn¡¯t dare to talk nonsense. At that time, the Director of Ceremonies approved the red account, but when the Ministry of War reconciled it at the end of the year, the Ministry of War did not acknowledge the account, and the Director of Ceremonies also did not admit it. They joined forces and brought Zhou Chong together.

    Zhou Chong, who had a bumpy official career, was almost dismissed from office for the second time. With the protection of the emperor and the prince, he was dismissed pending trial.

    The third prince¡¯s hand has reached to the center of the imperial court, and members of both factions know that the day for a decisive battle is coming soon.

    Before Zhou Chong was arrested, he asked his daughter to take her grandson back to the Xue family for refuge. Xue Yao, who originally thought that he would be able to escape the struggle by not becoming an official, was also involved in the center of the whirlpool because of his grandfather's crime.
