I'm the one running the game

"What? Ahhachu led 3,000 light cavalry southward, and he will be able to reach Kyoto in one day at most!!!" The old emperor was shocked.

"How dare he!!!"

When the old emperor said this, he spit out a mouthful of blood.

He was really angry this time, and he cursed the waste several times in a row.

"Your Majesty, please go west hunting." The master of Huangjue Palace said.

"West hunting" sounds good, but under this fig leaf, it means to escape quickly, otherwise it will be too late.

Not long ago, the old emperor reorganized the troops of various camps in Kyoto for the second time, cleared a lot of empty salary quotas, and therefore sentenced a large number of people. In addition, the army set out south a few days ago, and now it is too late to recruit them back.

The best way is to leave.

"West hunting... West hunting..." The old emperor murmured softly. He didn't expect that he would end up like this one day.

"If your majesty is unwilling to leave, you can issue an edict and let the second prince, the Prince of Qin, succeed to the throne, and your majesty abdicate and let the wise emperor take over." The master of Huangjue Palace said calmly.

You don't have to leave, but in order to prevent the situation in Dasong from further deteriorating due to your decision, you should give up your position.

When the old emperor heard this, the first thought in his mind was of course to refuse. What's the difference between this and being forced to abdicate? How could he give up the power in his hands?

Fortunately, this was just subconscious. After recovering, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "This is indeed a good idea."

"No, father, there is an order of seniority, not to mention that I am still the crown prince, how can I let my second brother succeed to the throne?" A vicious voice expressed his dissatisfaction.

The prince, I don't know when he came.

"So you plan to lead the army to fight against the barbarian chieftain Ahachi?" The old emperor asked in a serious tone.

"Your son is willing to hunt in the west for your father." The prince spoke directly, meaning that you give up the throne to me, you can leave or not, anyway, he will leave.

This made the old emperor's face turn cold.

He didn't like this prince to begin with, and now he actually said this, how could he be satisfied.

"Okay, but I will pass this edict to your second brother." The old emperor said stiffly, as if he was not satisfied, and added: "And abolish your position as the crown prince."

Meaning that he must pave the way for the second prince.

Without him as the crown prince, the second prince's ascension would be justified.

"Father, you...how can you do this." The prince's face flushed. They were all sons, and his eldest son was still by his side, but he had to pass the throne to others. There was no reason at all.

He didn't want to take the responsibility of being an emperor, but he wanted to enjoy the power of being an emperor.

"Pack up, you are allowed to take your family servants and five hundred attendants, and leave Kyoto today, and there is still a way out." The old emperor was very disappointed with the prince.

It can only be said that he is worthy of being a puppet waste cultivated by the Wen Party. As long as he ascends the throne, he will definitely be a puppet emperor.

However, the problem now is that the Wen Party has been eliminated by him, and the one who came is Ahachu from Liao. This group of barbarians and barbarians will not talk to you about propriety, righteousness, integrity, etc. If you talk to them about Zhihuzheya, and those who roll their names at Donghuamen are real men, they will just chop you with a knife.

They come from outside the Great Wall, and they don't listen to your words.

"If I don't leave, father, you are going to exile me!" The prince was very angry. He thought that he was a nobleman and the crown prince of the East Palace. Everyone praised him for his wisdom, bravery, kindness and knowledge. How could he bear to be scared away from Kyoto by a mere barbarian chief.

"You can think so." The old emperor was disappointed, but he couldn't bear it after all. The prince had been with him the longest, and he also had a childish temper. If he really had an accident, he would not bear it.

The prince was stunned. He didn't expect the old emperor to be so cruel.

"Thunder and rain are all grace from the emperor. Since my father said so... then I can only accept the order." The prince lowered his head to hide the hatred on his face.

This matter must not be let go.

Let him go, he must not leave, what belongs to him, no one can take it away.

"Go down." The old emperor said exhaustedly.

Along the way, the prince concealed the resentment in his eyes, as if a spoiled child who was not able to buy a toy.

"The prince is upset this time, and if he leaves like this, he will definitely cause trouble." The master of Huangjue Palace is an old man, how could he not see the prince's thoughts.

"Let him go." The old emperor sighed, and then said: "You secretly send the edict to the Western Regions and hand it over to the King of Qin."

"As for me, notify the ministers and harem to prepare for the Western Hunt."

The old emperor was powerless at this time. Aha's strong military force was not something he could stop.

So of course he planned to escape. If he could live one more day, he would earn one more day.

Kyoto doesn't matter, at most he can give it to Ahachu.

However, Ahachu didn't dare to stay for long. The old emperor and others just needed to avoid the sharp edge for a while, and wait for the Dasong army to react. If Ahachu failed to escape the encirclement in time, he would definitely be wiped out here.

He can come back at that time.

As for him becoming the emperor when he came back, it didn't matter. The power of the King of Qin was in the Western Regions. If he returned to Kyoto, he would have the autonomy to decide whether to return the power or rule behind the scenes.

Moreover, the blame can be placed on the new emperor. The mess that follows cannot be solved and is none of his business.

The master of Huangjue Palace remained silent. He thought the old emperor was planning to die for his country, but in the end he threw all the blame away.

Even the prince was included in the plot.

I thought it was tiger poison that cannot eat its seeds, but I didn't expect that it would be used as a target.

"But if the prince forces the palace to rebel, what should your majesty do?" The master of Huangjue Palace asked a key question.

If the prince really did this, then it goes without saying that the old emperor's western hunt would definitely come to nothing.

The old emperor smiled: "The prince is mediocre. If he really has this heart, why would he not dare to resist after falling into the hands of the Wen Party for decades?"

The Palace Master of Huangjue Palace hesitated to speak. He wanted to say that maybe it wasn't because he didn't resist, but because he was assimilated.

"Since Your Majesty has made a plan, I will go to the Western Regions to deliver the edict." The master of Huangjue Palace did not continue to exhort, but took the edict and left directly.

This time he must go in person to avoid any accidents.

After they left, the old emperor sent word for the royal guards to come in, all of whom were his die-hard loyalists.

"Go and monitor the prince. If there is any abnormal movement, capture him... No, I'll let you do it easily. You can kill him first and then report him later." A fierce light appeared in the old emperor's eyes.

If the prince were more honest, the old emperor would not interfere whether he followed him to the 'West Hunt' or fled in other directions.

Just wait until it's safe and then issue an edict to abolish the crown prince's position.

And if it was really as the Palace Master of Huangjue Palace suspected, and he was prepared to trap him in Kyoto regardless of the heights of the world, then don't blame him for being ruthless.

Paving the road is not paving the way for anyone, but the second prince has more potential than the prince.

…

"My father has given me a decree to hunt in the west." Princess Pingyang immediately came to see her consort Li Xuandao, but she was not excited at all because Li Xuandao had really guessed her.

Aha went out to lead his troops south, and the old emperor took shelter for the time being.

What will happen next is nothing more than the emptiness of Kyoto. You can imagine what will happen when Aha enters and leaves Kyoto.

Princess Pingyang, as the most favored princess, naturally wanted to follow him on the hunt to the west, and Li Xuandao, as the consort, would definitely follow.

"We can't leave, we have to stay in Kyoto." Li Xuandao gave his reason: "I am ready, and I am 70% sure to stop Aha from leaving and let him retreat."

"Ah? Husband, when will you be ready? Then I will inform my father and let him..." Princess Pingyang looked surprised.

"No, if I inform His Majesty, then I won't be 10% sure." Li Xuandao was seizing the initiative.

Do you really think that Kyoto has no confidence in blocking Aha De? No, it's because the risk is too great. If we fight to the death, with the cooperation of all the battalions in Kyoto, we can completely defeat Aha's company and the three thousand light cavalry. However, the losses will be very heavy. When the place becomes bigger, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Essentially, it means losing face and saving honour.

"Husband, what do you... want to do?" Princess Pingyang had a bad feeling.

"Your Majesty is hunting west and will definitely give way to the second prince, King Qin, who is far away in the Western Regions."

"The prince is weak and incompetent, and he is also narrow-minded and jealous. If he knows about this, and there are remnants of the Wen Party to help him, if he knows about this, he will definitely cause trouble when His Majesty is hunting west." Li Xuandao showed a smile.

"It's so secret that His Highness the Crown Prince cannot know about this matter." Princess Pingyang still had some brains and hit the key point at once, then her face suddenly changed, and then she suddenly asked: "You informed His Highness the Crown Prince! !”

"What's the benefit of doing this? There's chaos in Kyoto and we can't make it in time..." Princess Pingyang's eyes were filled with disappointment. She didn't expect Li Xuandao to do this.

At the same time, Li Xuandao's system also indicated a decrease in intimacy.

After listening to Princess Pingyang's accusation, she hurriedly wanted to report to the old emperor, but Li Xuandao said this: "Why can't women be the emperor?"

Princess Pingyang, who had just stepped out of the door, heard this and her body couldn't help but stagnate.

"I don't want my child to be just the crown prince. I want this child to be able to control Dasong, regardless of gender." When Li Xuandao said these words, Princess Pingyang stretched out her feet.

She was also struggling at this time.

"Husband, are you really 70% sure?" Princess Pingyang turned around and stared at Li Xuandao.

Li Xuandao's smile was still bright, and the intimacy between him and Princess Pingyang in the system was full again in an instant.

"It's 90% that I need the help of my wife." In Li Xuandao's plan, the biggest change was his princess wife. With her help and without her help, there are two completely different levels of difficulty.
