After the ancestors fell

Chapter 93 The New Emperor
Although the state of Zhou has not fought a war for a long time, the nightmare of the war in the past has made all the people unforgettable.

Every war means heavy corvee, military service and taxes, and the whole country is in trouble.

Seeing the flustered expressions on everyone's faces, Mr. Cen couldn't help but regret his quick talk earlier.

If this matter spreads, not only will he be blamed by the teacher, but even the teacher himself will be suspended from the county government.Thinking of this, he laughed and kept stepping back.

"Who knows if this matter is true or not, maybe it's just a rumor, everyone should not take it seriously."

As he said that, taking advantage of everyone's inattention, he took advantage of a gap, turned around and left.He walked in a hurry, and by the time everyone realized it, they didn't know which alley to turn to.

Shengjing was the same as before, at least on the surface it was peaceful.

There are no military disasters and no man-made disasters.Except that the palace has changed owners.

Xiao Mingyu sat in the hall, looking bored.

Some palace people came in and said that General Chu Yungui asked to see him.

"not see!"

Xiao Mingyu flatly refused.

The original Zhou emperor, empress, and concubines were all imprisoned in the harem, and they were not allowed to go out, and no one was allowed to visit.Most of the other princes and princesses were detained in their respective residences, except for the eldest prince.

Although there was already evidence to prove that the eldest prince was not of royal blood, but the child who was replaced by the empress Xiao Mingyu, Xiao Mingyu remained silent, and no one dared to stand up and deprive the identity of the eldest prince.

The National Teacher's Office did not make any statement regarding Xiao Mingyu's ascension to the throne.

Another palace official came in and saluted respectfully, "Your Majesty, the First Prince is here."

Only then did Xiao Mingyu regain some energy, and raised his eyes to look outside the hall.

Standing outside was a man in a white brocade robe, with a young face and a gentle and elegant demeanor, which made people feel good when they saw it.Xiao Mingyu's eyesight is excellent, she saw a few white hairs on the sideburns of the other party, and she felt a little complicated.

"Xuan!"

The eldest prince came in, but Chu Yungui was still waiting outside.

"Why is my cousin free today?"

The eldest prince Xiao Zhao followed the palace people into the main hall and came to Xiao Mingyu. Hearing the question, he raised his head and said, "I have received news that the leader of the Jin Kingdom is the great general Hu Zhenghe. As the vanguard battalion, the common people are very difficult."

Xiao Mingyu already knew about the news that Jin State sent troops to attack Zhou State.

When she was in Jin State, she met Hu Zhenghe a few times. Although she didn't say anything, he was indeed not a decent person.

Xiao Zhao and Xiao Mingyu actually had a fierce relationship. When the empress gave birth to Xiao Mingyu, her mother happened to have a child who was less than half a year old. In order to help Zhou Emperor compete for the crown prince, the two children were exchanged. This child is Today's Xiao Zhao.

Normally speaking, since Xiao Zhao took Xiao Mingyu's identity, the two should be in the same situation, but they didn't, and instead had a kind of sympathy for each other.

Xiao Zhao knew his identity since he was a child. When facing the crown prince and other princes, he always avoids his edge and never disputes with others. From the perspective of others, the eldest prince has a weak personality, indulges in romance, has no intention of governing, and is not a good heir. .

In fact, Xiao Mingyu knew that her cousin was extremely talented in politics, extremely intelligent, and had a sincere heart.

This time when Xiao Zhao came, he had a way to deal with the army of Jin. The two discussed until Xiao Zhao felt hungry, and they ordered the palace to pass on the meal.

As a monk, Xiao Mingyu has long since escaped the cycle of five grains, and does not need the diet of ordinary people.

Although the two of them didn't get along for a long time, they knew a little about their affairs, so Xiao Zhao was not polite, and sat down to eat alone.

Eat without speaking, sleep without speaking.

This is the rule they have learned from childhood.

At this time Chu Yungui was still outside, Xiao Zhao looked outside, then at Xiao Mingyu, without saying anything, and told Xiao Mingyu a piece of news when he left.

"The Empress Dowager has already sent someone to the National Teacher's Mansion. It won't be long before your master will come. You have to figure out how to deal with her."

Ever since Xiao Cangshan came back, Qin Guanhai knew about Xiao Mingyu's unauthorized opening of the Pan Lingjing, and severely punished her. Later, Empress Dowager Xiao interfered with it, causing Xiao Mingyu's vitality to be seriously injured.If these two people unite again, Xiao Zhao is worried, and Xiao Mingyu is afraid that he will suffer again.

Hearing this news, Xiao Mingyu was not surprised.

"Don't worry, my master is busy with other things now, and won't take care of these things in a short time."

"However, you can't keep procrastinating. You should make plans early to avoid being caught off guard in the future."

He tried a few words of persuasion, but Xiao Mingyu looked reckless, so he had no choice but to leave.

Cheng Wangfu.

Although there is chaos in the court, this chaos has not affected Chengwang Mansion.

On this day, Prince Cheng's Mansion was as lively as ever, and a guest came today.

"This person has been with me from me, why did he suddenly come here today?"

In the hall, His Royal Highness Cheng Wang looked a little puzzled.

"It should be a matter of Jin sending troops."

Xiao Yongan sat beside him drinking tea.

"Let's not talk about him, how is the girl's affairs now, has she agreed?" Cheng Wang asked.

Speaking of this matter, Xiao Yong'an felt a little helpless, pointing in the direction of the palace, "Look closely over there, not for now."

After the two exchanged a few words, the servants led Chu Yungui in.

Sure enough, King Cheng was invited to intercede with His Majesty.Chu Yungui wanted to be the marshal who attacked Jin, but Xiao Mingyu refused to listen or watch, and refused.

In the early years, Xiao Mingyu owed His Royal Highness Cheng Wang's kindness, so the relationship between the two was a bit harmonious compared to other people.

"Your Majesty intends to go to war with His Majesty, and I cannot help you with this matter."

King Cheng rejected him.

Chu Yungui was disappointed, but didn't say much, declined Cheng Wang's guest, took his leave and left.

On Chang'an Avenue, Mu Hongfei and Nanfeng Wuyou were walking on the side of the road.

The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they were happy.

They were talking, and there was a sound of horseshoes behind them, it was the patrolling Jingwei.These people were wearing armor, and the weapons they wore were so cold that they could not help but push away.The two stopped by the side of the road, waiting for the Jingwei team to leave.

Seeing the leading officer, Mu Hongfei's eyes flickered, and subconsciously took two steps back, hiding behind Nanfeng Wuyou.

When Jingwei left, Nanfeng Wuyou teased her, "This is the general you met when you went to Beijing?"

Mu Hongfei nodded unnaturally, "This matter is over, don't talk about it anymore."

Nanfeng Wuyou nodded, and changed the subject, "I heard that there are several cruise ships coming to Sishui River, have you been there?"

Mu Hongfei shook his head, and rarely went out to play.

"It's better to hit the sun than to choose a day. Let's go see it today."
