“Your Majesty, you must have misunderstood. When have I ever thought about doing anything? Weren’t you the one who always wanted to do something to me?” Qian Jiyun asked with a smile.
“You…”
That was all the old Emperor could say. In the end, he took a deep breath and glared at Qian Jiyun fiercely.
“Your Majesty, since we have nothing to do now, why don’t we settle our scores?”
Qian Jiyun saw that the old Emperor could not speak and approached him.
“Settle… Settle scores?”
The old Emperor took a step back and sat back in his chair.
He was actually quite afraid of Qian Jiyun. After all, he was capable. No one knew if the shadow guards outside were dead or alive. If they were all dead, it would be evidence for Qian Jiyun’s capabilities.
“That’s right. Settle scores.” Qian Jiyun nodded and looked at the old Emperor seriously. “Let’s discuss your military strength first. How’s that?”
“Military strength?” The old Emperor was dumbfounded.
What was the point of discussing military strength? If not for the fact that he had immense military strength, how could he possibly dare to act rashly against Qian Jiyun?
“There are the imperial guards within the capital, and outside the capital, there are the Three Guards—the Longhu Guards, the Yulin Guards, and the Xiaoting Guards. Do you think all these forces are under your control?”
“You… What do you mean?”
The imperial guards and the Three Guards of the capital had always obeyed the Emperor. How could Qian Jiyun be unaware of this?
Of course, Qian Jiyun knew that. However, he also knew that they obeyed their respective chiefs. In other words, they obeyed whoever their chiefs obeyed.
Gazing at Qian Jiyun sharply, the Emperor questioned coldly, “What did you do to my Yulin Guards?”
The Emperor could only think of the uncontrollable chief of the Yulin Guards, who often opposed him. The chiefs of the other two guards would not dare to rebel.
As for the imperial guards, they belonged to him alone and would never betray him.
“Ha!” Qian Jiyun chuckled. “The Third Prince is the commander of the Yulin Guards. Are you not aware of that? What can I possibly do to them?”
“That’s impossible. I’ve never—”
The Emperor wanted to say that he had never handed the Yulin Guards to his third son, but he had forgotten that he had befriended Qian Jiyun behind his back.
He would be even more likely to befriend others.
“Fu Ming!”
He gritted his teeth. He had already thought of it.
Fu Ming was close to both the Third Prince and Qian Jiyun, and he was the legitimate son of the Minister of War.
Even if the Minister of War was loyal to him, he might waver and betray him for himself and his legitimate son.
“That unfilial son is really scheming! He wants to control two out of the Three Guards simultaneously! Isn’t he afraid he’ll bite off more than he can chew?”
The Yulin Guards siding with the Third Prince was inevitable, and it seemed like the Xiaoting Guards might have also fallen into the Third Prince’s hands.
Fortunately, the Emperor still had the Imperial Guards and the Longhu Guards. If he struck first, he might stand a chance at retaining control of the capital. As for Qian Jiyun, he would need to think of an alternate plan.
“What is Your Majesty thinking? How can there only be two guards?”cQian Jiyun smiled, finding the old Emperor a little stupid.
“Your Majesty, do you really think that if something were to happen in the capital, Sima Qing, that old thing, would have the courage to raise the flags and come to your aid?”
