249. Chapter 249 27 Counter attack [3]

The "skinned demon" is being executed outside the palace! However, a drama of usurping power and seizing the throne was staged in the Xixia Palace without the people knowing it.

Over the past three days, the queen has been constantly moving, claiming to all the ministers that the emperor was in a coma with critical illness and using this as an excuse to replace all the ministers in the court with real power and replace them with their own confidants. At the same time, a secret letter was taken out, claiming that it was Li Yuanhao's decree. If he was critically ill, the eldest prince would succeed him and the queen would assist in the administration. This secret letter appeared too abruptly, which made many Li Yuanhao's confidants not very convinced. How could the emperor suddenly be critically ill? But after the secret letter was passed on to everyone, no one raised any objections, because the font on the secret letter was indeed Li Yuanhao's.

A month after dealing with the "skinned demon", the queen suddenly issued an edict, the emperor passed away, the eldest prince succeeded to the throne, and held a grand ceremony of ascension. The people of the people did not understand what was going on? The emperor's death was too sudden, but for the people, it doesn't matter who is the emperor, what is important is that they just have a good life.

However, the fact is not as the people imagined. After the eldest prince ascended the throne, he played and had fun in the harem all day long. All the real power was in the hands of the empress who had already claimed to be the empress dowager. The woman arranged all her father, brother and brother to besiege her niece and the eldest prince as the empress. However, the government was dealt with in a mess. Although she and the Empress Dowager Xiao of Liao Kingdom, Xiao Chuo, were both women, she had no political mind and mind of Xiao Chuo. She favored treacherous ministers, ignored the evil deeds of her own tribesmen among the people, but instead suppressed those who sought justice for the people. The court was in chaos, villains were in power, and the people were angry and resentful, and the people were ruthless.

A large number of people began to leave their hometowns with their children and leave Xixia Kingdom. Many places became deserted towns within a few days, and no one cultivated the fields and became wastelands. All the people were left behind were the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled and the incapable of leaving.

"Why haven't you shown up yet? If this continues, your Xixia will be destroyed." In an inn in the capital, a little girl in her teens turned her head and asked the man beside her.

"Isn't it time?" Li Yuanhao tasted the tea leisurely and glanced out the window lightly, "I'm waiting for that person to appear."

"Who?"

"My elder brother!"

Ning Ling opened her eyes wide: "Your brother, isn't he dead?"

"The person back then was just a substitute. He was pretending to die and escape," Li Yuanhao's mouth smiled, "Do you know? The queen is his woman, and even the so-called adopted son is her and his evil deeds. I have been waiting for this day for a long time, and finally I have waited. How could I not catch them all in one go?"

Ning Ling pondered for a moment and realized that Li Yuanhao ascended the throne with the help of Yelu Xiuge. The Liao army was invaded, causing the prince to give up the throne and pretend to die to escape. For the past ten years, he has been secretly planning to seize the throne, but he has been hiding in the dark. Seeing the head but not seeing the tail, if Li Yuanhao takes down the queen and others, it will inevitably be alarmed. If he lets him escape, it will be even more difficult to find him. It would be better to take advantage of his opportunity to take action and take them into trouble.

It's so amazing. No wonder he was able to become the emperor of Xixia and one of the few wise kings. Just when he thought of his ending, he felt a little sad. The man in front of him had a lifetime of military service and founded the prosperous era of Xixia, but in the end he died at the hands of his son for a woman. It has to be said that it was a kind of irony. If she could do anything, she really wanted to change his destiny, but she could do nothing and could only let it develop.

"If I guess correctly, you want the two people in the palace to bite the dog!" Ning Ling withdrew his mind.
