Chapter 1006.
Female Emperor?
A female emperor was not a new term, in fact, apart from Da Liang, the histories of Da Yan and Da Qi had both seen female emperors who had ascended to the throne and claimed the title of emperor, and thousands of years further back, the total number of female emperors had even exceeded ten!
However, since the founding of Great Liang, there had never been a situation where a woman had taken control of the world.
In fact, if we look at the entire Cangqing Realm, the most recent female empress to ascend the throne was two hundred years ago.
Princess Qing Yun had never imagined that she would become the first female emperor of Great Liang!
However, as the first daughter of the previous emperor, she really did possess such qualifications.
It was just that unless the men in the royal family died out, or there were only congenitally demented guys left, it would not be Princess Qing Yun’s turn to sit on the throne at all.
Therefore if she wanted to become an empress, there was only one way.
Set up a flag to seize the throne!
The problem was that Princess Qing Yun, as a delicate woman who had been raised within the deep palace for over ten years, who would support her to ascend to the throne?
Anyone who was truly ambitious would be more reliable than her with a random royal man!
“I know it’s hard for you to accept right now.”
Wang Dust said in a deep voice, “But Your Highness, you only have two choices, one is for me to take you away from Da Liang and find a safe place to live your life in anonymity.”
“The other is to put up the royal flag and fight with King Jing for this Da Liang world!”
Princess Qing Yun’s delicate body trembled as if she was waking up from a dream.
She left Wang Dust’s embrace and looked at Wang Dust in a daze and asked, “Master, if I choose to remain incognito, will you stay with me all the time?”
Wang Dust shook his head, “No.”
He had descended to this realm in order to seize this heaven and earth’s fortune and master the source of the world, so how could he possibly spend all of his time and light on the other party?
Taking Princess Qing Yun away was the last thing Wang Chen could do to help his disciple.
Princess Qing Yun wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, bit her lip and said, “Master, I want to become the first female emperor of Great Liang!”
Wang Chen asked, “Have you thought it through? Once you’ve made a decision, then there’s no chance of regret!”
“I’ve thought it through.”
Princess Qing Yun revealed a poignant smile, “Master, I would rather die than ever marry into the Southern Barbarians, much less live my life in anonymity.”
“Qing Yun would like to swear here that if I become an emperor in the future, I will appoint Master as the king, and if I violate this oath, heaven and earth will destroy me!”
As soon as her words fell, Wang Chen abruptly felt a certain existence in the underworld casting a concerned gaze at him!
[Qi Luck -500]
His Qi Luck was instantly decimated by 500 points, leaving him with less than three digits!
But at the same time, Wang Chen’s body was lightened, and the invisible bindings that were wrapped around him suddenly disappeared.
In the next moment, Wang Chuan and Princess Qing Yun had an additional invisible and unseen bond and tie, forming a new string of fate!
Wang Chen knew very well that from now on, his own fortune in this world was closely related to Princess Qing Yun, and that he would benefit and lose at the same time.
To put it simply, he jumped ship.
Only compared to the original Shao Wu Emperor, the current Princess Qing Yun was only a small boat in the sea, and could be overturned by the wind and waves at any time.
But the huge ship, the Shao Wu Emperor, was going to sink in three days!
Therefore Wang Chen was not dismayed by the chipping of his qi, instead he revealed a pleased smile, “Very well, you will not fail me, I will not fail you!”
Princess Qing Yun grasped his hand tightly and nodded vigorously.
“Come with me.”
Wang Chen held Princess Qing Yun and arrived in the middle of the grand hall.
He asked Sun Zhengheng to gather all the Featherwood Guards, including those stationed at the palace walls.
Although the palace had already been surrounded by the Hanhai Army, but since Shangguan Wuji’s status and temperament had given three days, it was unlikely that he would go back on his word and suddenly launch an attack.
After all the Feather Forest Guards had arrived, Wang Chen spoke about the Imperial Capital’s heavenly change.
The feather forest guards were all shocked!
They never dreamed that King Jing would join the Empress Dowager in usurping the throne and overthrowing Emperor Shao Wu to take the throne.
Shocked at the same time, they also felt incomparably at a loss.
“Three days later, King Jing will ascend to the throne as Emperor!”
Wang Dust did not give them more time to think and said in a deep voice, “Not only is he going to cede the three northern counties to Da Qi, but he is also going to bestow Princess Qing Yun to the Barbarian King, losing his power and dishonoring the country’s affairs Kou as his father!”
The feathered guards were in an uproar.
Many of them came out of their side armies and had unresolved grudges with the Dazi army, and now King Jing was actually bending his knees to his worldly enemies for the sake of the throne, which really made people furious to the extreme.
“I’ve discussed this with Princess Qing Yun.”
Wang Dust swept around and said with solemnity, “Never follow King Jing’s chaotic orders, much less worship him as the emperor!”
“For the sake of Great Liang, Princess Qing Yun is determined to set up a flag to fight against the rebellion, and I am willing to swear my life to follow, so now I’m asking you guys what do you think?”
The feathered guards immediately looked at each other in disbelief.
Sun Zhengheng kneeled down with a “plop” and shouted, “I would like to follow Your Highness to the death, crusade against the rebellion, and re-establish the orthodoxy of Great Liang!”
Sun Zhengheng was the commander of the Feather Forest Guards, and had high prestige among the 3,000 Feather Forest Army, he took the lead in pledging allegiance, and immediately dozens of his inner circle followed him in kneeling down and taking the oath.
Then like dominoes, the other Feather Forest Guards all knelt in front of Princess Qing Yun.
Even if some people were skeptical, under such an environment, they could only follow the crowd.
“All generals leveled off.”
Princess Qing Yun had tears in her eyes, “This palace swears here, if you don’t bear me, I will not bear you!”
The feathered guards shouted in unison, “Willing to die for your highness!”
[Qi Luck +50
A message instantly brushed across Wang Dust’s field of vision, and he said without moving, “Very good, if everyone is of one mind, the great cause will naturally be realized, our next ……”
Wang Dust knew very well that there must be a large number of these 3,000 Featherwood Guards who were truly willing to serve Princess Qing Yun, but there were bound to be quite a few who had other thoughts in mind.
If a realistic goal is not set out immediately, then with the passage of time, the morale of the people who have just coalesced will continue to fall.
Only through a victory, a continuous victory, can these elite soldiers truly support Princess Qing Yun!
So Wang Chen’s first goal was to take down Hanhai City!
This goal sounded unbelievable, because not only were there 50,000 elite Hanhai soldiers stationed in Hanhai City, but the one who was sitting on this fortress was Shangguan Wu Ji, who had the strength of a sixth ranked Martial Zun.
How could three thousand Feather Forest Guards be an opponent?
“I’ll deal with Shangguan Wuji.”
Wang Dust said indifferently, “Either he chooses to follow Your Highness like us, or he dies.”
“There is no third choice!”
If it was someone else saying such words, everyone would probably scoff.
However, the Featherwood Guards who had witnessed Wang Chen’s great victory over the Ten Thousand Invaders had an extremely high level of trust and reverence for him, and everyone believed that Wang Chen really had the ability to solve Shangguan Wu Ji, so all of them had a great deal of certainty in their hearts.
