This battle was recorded in later history books as quite tragic.

The prince of the State of Yan seized the throne, and Wei Zhang, the god of war of the State of Chu, led an army of 300,000 to attack the State of Yan. The force was overwhelming, heading south and approaching Kyoto.

The city gates of Kyoto were not even resisted for an hour before they were breached and taken straight to the palace.

The people in Kyoto were full of complaints, complaining that several princes had seized the throne, leaving the national defense empty and allowing the enemy to take advantage of it. Fortunately, the Wei army was well-disciplined and there were no major incidents of burning, killing, looting or looting.

The people were hiding at home in fear. They only heard the cavalry stepping on the bluestone in Kyoto. Then there was no movement. It was heard that Wei Zhang had led his army to surround the entire palace.

The few princes who had taken over the throne fled in all directions. The princes who had promised to fight for the people of Li were fighting to the death for the throne, but none of them stood up in the face of disaster.

On the contrary, the frail seventh prince stood in the imperial city with a long sword in his hand, shouting——

"You are willing to join me in battle to kill the enemy——"

"and after?"

After tea and dinner, the leisurely storyteller street corner is a place where traders and walkers from all walks of life come to rest and gather together to chat about insignificant gossip.

"Later you also found out who our new emperor is now. Isn't it obvious?"

"His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince is really a capable man. It is said that he heard that the late emperor passed away and returned to the Yan Kingdom, and for some reason he had conflicts with several of his brothers."

"Hush, I heard that those princes are not easy to use. The late emperor said that he was killed by the prince. I am afraid that he has something to do with them. He even got angry and dealt with his weak younger brother. But it is not as good as God. A disaster is coming. , the princes ran away without a trace, but it was the weak Yao Di who carried the heavyweight."

"First, he defended the imperial city alone to get a good opportunity. I don't know how he did it. He waited until our army came to support him, and he even personally killed the murderer named Wei. That scene was really... When I heard that people arrived, Wei Zhang died in the palace, and His Majesty Seventh Prince was covered in blood and was in a state of disgrace, waiting for someone to come before he fainted."

"That year, His Highness Seventh Prince also volunteered to be a hostage for our Yan country. Now that we are facing a powerful enemy, we can turn the tide with just one person. His becoming emperor is a blessing for our people."

"I heard that His Highness the Seventh Prince is obsessed with calligraphy and painting and has no interest in the throne. Now his brothers are dead and disabled. If he doesn't take the lead, there will be no one in the royal family of the Yan Kingdom. Hundreds of civil and military officials are petitioning the court. He just reluctantly ascended the throne."

"Oh, it's really hard for our Majesty. He has also done practical things for us. When he ascended the throne, he granted amnesty to the world and greatly reduced taxes. We will live a good life before our eyes."

"Hey, do you think Wei Zhang is really dead?"

"I heard that he couldn't die any more, and our Majesty even made up for it several times."
