Immediately afterwards, the orders from the military headquarters were quickly issued to major military regions and corps, requiring each army to strengthen its defense on the spot and not leave the defense zone at will. Violators of the order were punished for rebellion. The Imperial Guard Corps entered the highest alert state, and all officers of the five divisions canceled their leave and returned to the team.

On November 12, 697, the 28th Emperor of the Tanghe Empire, Situ Mingyue, died of illness in Anfu Palace at the age of 58. On November 13, major newspapers and media in the Empire reported the news on the front page, and also gave the imperial people a subtle message, that is, the candidate for the new emperor of the Empire is still undecided, and it needs to be discussed and decided by the royal family and the imperial government. Almost at the same time, other important countries in the Eastern Continent also published this news and expressed concern about the current situation of the Tanghe Empire. Even countries such as Machikhan and Kaman, who were in war and semi-war states with the Tanghe Empire were hypocritical.

The chaos in the situation also caused the unstable situation in the imperial capital. Although three days later, the Imperial Capital Police Department and the Imperial Gendarmerie Command jointly issued a document to lift the curfew, it did not play much role. The prices of daily necessities in the imperial capital, edible oil and cloth changed several times in a day, and various rumors were flying everywhere. Although the internal affairs department took severe crackdown measures, this measure did not see much effect. It was not until the Imperial Commerce Administration ordered the Jiangnan and the East China Sea to urgently transport grain and other daily necessities into Beijing to calm prices that this superficial chaos was alleviated.

"What are these damn bureaucrats doing?!" The girl with a frosty face raised her eyebrows, and a ray of mighty light flashed in her eyes. Perhaps it was because of the excessive maneuvering duck egg, which looked like a jade-like duck egg, had a few touches of flushing. Her close-fitting palace outfit made the girl's gentle and charming figure look so delicate that the pair of straight jade feng on her chest were even more ups and downs.

"Thirteenth sister, don't be anxious. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. My ninth brother, I'm not anxious at this time. Why are you anxious?" Sitting in the girl's boudoir, the handsome face no longer had the warm smile of the past, and was replaced by a cold sneer that appeared from time to time. The flash of hatred in his eyes showed that he was actually extremely angry. "Hmph, these guys are waiting to seek rewards from some people, or they are just waiting for the price."

"What did Lu Wenfu do? Why is he the Minister of the Interior? Didn't he have any means of coping? How did Ma Yuanchang communicate and coordinate with Ma Yuanchang? Did he not see any signs before this? Why did this happen?" The girl's jade-like Ningshuang, her tone was not calm at all. Situ Yushuang actually didn't care much about which brother he had come to be the emperor. Although the death of her father also brought a hint of sadness to her, her father had been bedridden for so long. It should be said that almost everyone has such considerable mental preparations. But the country cannot be without a king for a day. No matter who ascends to this position, it is much better than the current situation of the throne hanging in the throne, especially when facing the surrounding enemy country's surroundings are watching the internal vassals.

"Thirteenth sister, I can't blame Lu Wenfu all the time. Your ninth brother, I stared at all times and watched all this. I never thought that the problem would be with Ma Yuanhang and Ning Yuanwang. One of these two people went far away and the other was really the nemesis of Situ Lang? I won't say that Ning Yuanwang. I have never counted him. But Ma Yuanxing, isn't he the father's confidant? Hasn't his father summoned him? Didn't he understand his father's intentions? But as soon as his father left, the situation became like this. How do you let me deal with it? Knowing people but not the heart." Situ Lang lay on his back on his sister's embroidered bed with a little depressed mood, obviously not paying attention to his sister's unhappiness.

"This idiot in Jilin really issued an order to the Third and Fourth Legion in accordance with the requirements of the Provisional Military and Political Decision Committee. He didn't think about how he sat in this position. Without me, Situ Lang, could he be today? Humph, he didn't look at who the Third and Fourth Legion would listen to." Situ Lang's face was a little distorted, "It's a pity that I was one step late, otherwise these two legions would enter Beijing and without the Imperial Guards, I could still achieve my goal."

Frowning, the girl stared at her brother who was still intoxicated by the fantasy with some dissatisfaction. She did not agree with her brother's idea. In that case, if the horses never surrender, it would lead to the outbreak of civil war in the imperial capital. Not to mention whether the combat effectiveness of the Third and Fourth Legion can withstand the Imperial Guards, but this war will put the empire in an extremely dangerous situation, and foreign forces are even more willing to see this situation.

"Brother Jiu, I think you should not fantasize about the past things. Now you should think more about how to solve the current problems." The girl slowed down slightly and said, "Ma Yuan went there, I suggest you go and explore the wind again to see what went wrong. Now the entire imperial capital is controlled by him. Even if he changes his mind now, the result is the same. I can't see why he did this."

"Why? Thirteenth Sister, is there anything else to doubt about this? Someone is promising to make a high profit, right?" Situ Lang's handsome face was covered with a layer of gloom. "In addition to this, he Ma Yuanzhang would have other ideas?"

"If this is true, Brother Jiu, you will consider other solutions. If he really wants to talk about the chaos in the imperial capital for his own sake, he must be able to support him with all his strength. Brother Jiu, you can think of more ways to see if there is a breakthrough." The girl pondered and suggested.

"Sister Thirteen, you underestimate your Ninth Brother. Will your Ninth Brother not think of these aspects? But the Imperial Guard Corps was managed like an iron bucket by Ma Yuan. I sent to contact the five division commanders. Except for one of them, the others clearly rejected my intention to recruit. What else do you think of Ninth Brother?" Situ Lang looked depressed, "Even the only one who is unclear in his attitude refused to contact me more, for fear of being noticed."

"So, Ma Yuanling still has some skills. He can actually control these guys in his hands. No wonder he can be so arrogant. He does have the capital to be arrogant." A trace of surprise flashed across the girl's face, "But Brother Jiu, you can't give up even if you only have a trace of hope. Which one of the vague attitudes should be more intense. The attitude of the Imperial Guard Corps is not very clear now. If you can't win them into your hands, at least you must keep them neutral. As long as they don't favor the other people, the younger sister sees that you are in the court and the chance should be the best."

"Thirteenth sister said, "The ninth brother has been taught." Seeing the girl's serious look on her face, the handsome young man also replied seriously, and then smiled bitterly: "I can only take one step at this moment, and my father's funeral will be held soon. At that time, local officials from all walks of life will come to Beijing. It is estimated that the last time will be the final answer."

Ma Yuanxing, the middle section of Huachang Avenue. The commander of the Imperial Guard Corps, sat in the study with a gloomy face, looking at a calligraphy hanging on the wall, "Tolerance is great, no desire is strong." But who can really do this? Don't you also don't want to get involved in these matters? Can you be able to do it yourself? Thinking of this, a vicious look appeared on Ma Yuanxing's face. He didn't want to provoke people, but someone came on his head and pushed himself to the crater all at once, but he couldn't move.

"Sir, the guest is here." The servant interrupted his contemplation. Ma Yuan sighed lightly. The other party was sure that he would not dare to turn against him. He just stuck his vitals and pushed forward step by step, hoping that the other party would not be more greedy, "Let him in."

There were only two people left in the study. Ma Yuanxing looked coldly at the thin man in front of him who was not astonishingly. After a long time, he snorted from his nose: "My Ma Yuanxing has done what you should do as required by your master. Should you fulfill your promise?"

"Mr. Ma, I can guarantee this that there is absolutely no problem with the safety of the noble son and his wife. Of course, we hope that Master Ma can continue as we agreed at the beginning. If the adults are not at ease, I can stay here as a hostage." The thin man's eyes were bright, and his cheekbones seemed to have some foreign blood. His thin lips and rat whiskers looked like they were slim at first glance.

"Are you a hostage? What is your value? You are just a pawn of your master. If you need it, then it's not like a piece of shoes?" Ma Yuansheng glanced at the other party contemptuously and curled his lips disdainfully and said, "What your party means is to despise the Ma in the future. The situation is not controlled by Ma. Some things cannot be used even if Ma does it. I hope your master can understand this."

"Mr. Ma, please rest assured. My master is not a person who doesn't understand the truth. If that's the case, my master wouldn't just propose such conditions." A trace of anger flashed in the thin man's eyes, and then he replied politely.
