I, the queen and the father, start with a deer as a horse

Chapter 277

"Yes!"

The guards held long knives and walked towards the assassins.

Daji looked worried, looked at Fang Xiu, and expressed her concerns: "Master, will this anger Emperor Yan?"

Fang Xiu said calmly: "Since he dared to send someone to assassinate the truth, he should be prepared to bear the anger!"

"But... after all, the imperial court has just ended the war with the state of Zhou, and urgently needs to recuperate. If the Yan state invades aggressively at this time, the imperial court may fall into a passive position."

Daji thought so in her heart, but didn't say it out loud.

Because she knew that the master must have thought carefully about making such a decision.

All she has to do is trust the master unconditionally!

Fang Xiu seemed to understand Daji's reluctance to speak, and said: "Yan people are afraid of power and not virtuous, if they blindly tolerate it, it will only make them worse!
The last time Emperor Yan sent an army to invade, Truth turned a blind eye and did not declare war on them. This time, he sent assassins to assassinate Truth and Qinger who is about to participate in the abdication ceremony. If Truth does not do anything else, They really think that the truth is a soft persimmon that can be manipulated at will! "

"The servant understands."

Daji nodded obediently.

at this time.

Fang Xiu seemed to think of something, looked at Li Yaoyue at the side, and said: "You have read the letter, you should know that your fate has a lot to do with that brother you, maybe When he proposed marriage back then, he had the idea of ​​letting you stay in Chang'an for the rest of your life."

"."

Li Yaoyue held the letter in her slender jade hands, and remained silent for a long time.

She has been hit too hard today, and at this moment, she just feels that her mind is in a mess, and she doesn't know what to say, let alone what to do.

Seeing this, Fang Xiu didn't continue to provoke her, but just looked at the guard beside him, waved his hand and said, "Go back to the house!"

"Yes! Master Xiang!"

Zhou Guo.

Jinnan City.

The wind is sunny and the sun is cloudless.

Outside the Jongmyo.

The emperor's uncle, King Ning, stood at the forefront and read out the abdication edict on behalf of Emperor Zhou.

"The husband's five virtues are reformed, the three righteousness are flourishing, the virtuous people control materials, and the sages are enlightened."

The high-pitched voice resounded throughout the palace.

Xie Qian led all the officials and knelt quietly on the ground.

In front of them, there was another person kneeling.

It is Li Yaoyue, the princess of Zhou Guochang who is about to ascend the throne!
Of course, Seiji pretended to be her.

Time passed minute by minute.

After a stick of incense.

The edict has been read out.

Dressed in a dragon robe, Qing'er slowly stood up, stepped forward, and took the jade seal symbolizing imperial power from King Ning.

Turning around slowly, looking around, a sharp light burst out from his eyes, and said word by word: "The fate cannot be rejected, the artifact cannot be left for a long time, the ministers cannot be without a master, and the opportunities cannot be without control. Only inherit the emperor's elephant, dare not to accept it, the divination guards the tortoise, the omen has a big horizontal, the divination tells the three changes, the omen has a change omen, choose the first day, and go to the altar to receive the emperor's seal and ribbon."

The enthronement edict was read out.

The throne of the Zhou Kingdom is officially succeeded by Li Yaoyue!
Under the leadership of Xie Qian, all the civil and military officials of the Zhou Kingdom saluted one after another, and said loudly: "I wait to see my emperor! Long live my emperor!"

on the high platform.

Qing'er looked down at the kneeling officials, feeling extremely melancholy.

When she left Jinnan with His Highness two years ago, she never thought that such a day would come.

Now that things have happened, she is a little confused whether it is a blessing or a misfortune for His Highness to marry the Prime Minister of Qian Kingdom
at the same time.

Zhou Huang, who was imprisoned in a certain palace, stared out of the window with bloodshot eyes, and let out angry roars.

"Traitor!"

"Rebel!"

"I'm going to kill you! Kill you!"

The almost frenzied roar echoed in the palace, but there was no response at all.

Whether he accepts it or not, the change of the throne has become a fact.

Except for the eunuchs in exile, no one cared about his thoughts as the "overlord".

Winners and losers have always been like this throughout the ages.

After the abdication ceremony is over.

It used to be in the Qianqing Palace where Emperor Zhou handled government affairs.

Qing'er, who was dressed in a dragon robe, sat on the dragon chair with a cold expression.

Xie Qian and the other two cabinet scholars stood in place, saluting respectfully.

"I see you, Your Majesty!"

Qing'er looked at them and asked, "Have you prepared the decree I asked the cabinet to draw up?"

"Return to Your Majesty, it has been prepared, and it can be announced to the world immediately!"

Xie Qian took out an imperial decree from his bosom, and presented it to Qing'er with both hands.

Qing'er reached out to take it, and browsed from top to bottom.

This is the first imperial decree issued by her after she ascended the throne, and the content is to make Fang Xiu the regent.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the content, she nodded and said, "I'll leave this matter to you, don't make any mistakes."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Xie Qian saluted respectfully, took the imperial decree with both hands, and took a step back.

at this time.

Li Chunhua, who took over as the second assistant to the cabinet, stood up and said solemnly: "Your Majesty! I have something to ask your majesty for instructions."

Qing'er looked at him and said lightly, "Say."

After saluting, Li Chunhua said: "According to the contract reached between the imperial court and Qian State, Qian State has the right to send troops to station in various provinces and prefectures of our Great Zhou, but the number of troops stationed is not clearly stipulated in the contract.

The minister believes that defense is the foundation of a country, and the number of troops allowed to be stationed in a country should not be too large, and it is best to limit it to less than 1000. "

Speaking of this, he paused, and continued: "It's just that the Regent may not be able to agree to this number of people, so I would like to ask His Majesty to negotiate with the Regent."

The voice fell.

There was a chill in Qing'er's eyes, she looked at Li Chunhua, and asked coldly: "Is it your idea or the whole cabinet's idea to limit the number of troops stationed?"

"This"

Li Chunhua showed hesitation, and glanced at Xie Qian.

After a few breaths of silence, he made a decision and replied: "This is my own idea, I haven't discussed it with Mr. Xie Ge yet."

When Qing'er heard this, she snorted coldly, stood up suddenly from the dragon chair, and said angrily:

"Don't think that I don't know what you think. It's just that the imperial court has signed a contract with the Qian Kingdom, and Fang Xiu has also become the regent of my Great Zhou. The overall situation is settled, and the Qian people will no longer care about these details!"

"Today I tell you clearly! You are pretending to be smart! Today, I am still Da Zhou, and you are still Da Zhou's courtiers, all relying on this contract!
"If you continue to play around and try to push Fang Xiu and Gan Ren out of the court, even I can't save you!"

As soon as this word comes out.

All the bachelors knelt down.

"I know I was wrong!"

Qing'er looked at them, sighed in her heart, sat back on the dragon chair again, and said coldly: "How did you discuss with Qian Ren in the past, and how you will act in the future!"

"From now on, apart from promulgating imperial edicts, I will no longer interfere in the government affairs of the imperial court. There are six ministries and nine ministries, each province and each government, and any matters will be drafted and handled by your cabinet, and sent to the regent eight hundred miles urgently. It is up to the regent to decide, do you understand what I said?"

The voice fell.

Several university scholars looked at each other subconsciously, and they could see a touch of surprise in each other's eyes.

After being stunned for a few breaths, they said in unison: "I understand!"

"Go down!" Qing'er waved her hands impatiently.

"I'm waiting to retire."

Xie Qian and the others saluted again, turned and left Qianqing Palace.

Several people were talking in low voices while walking on the way to the cabinet.

"With His Majesty's sageness, you shouldn't fail to see that the more troops garrisoned in the Qian Kingdom, the more the court will look like a puppet. Why does Your Majesty allow a large number of troops to be stationed in the Qian Kingdom?"

"Maybe it's just worrying about offending others?"

"This old man always thinks it's not just that. You heard it just now. His Majesty said that from now on, His Majesty will not care about government affairs, and all affairs will be handled by the cabinet and the regent. In this way, Your Majesty will be equal to"

Speaking of this, he lowered his voice and said, "It doesn't mean it's just a display."

"Speak carefully!" Xie Qian said.

"I only said this in front of a few cabinet elders," said the cabinet scholar.

There was silence for a moment.

The cabinet assistant Li Chunhua said: "Since Your Majesty has said so, from now on, we will act according to the results of discussions with Gan Ren, and don't think about getting rid of Qian Ren's control. No matter what, the court has lost the battle. It’s not easy to maintain the status quo.”

After the words fell, Xie Qian continued: "This old man also means the same."

Hearing this, the other two academicians sighed in their hearts, and replied: "In that case, let's do as Xie Gelao wants."

Zhou Huangchan abdicated the throne, and the news that the eldest princess Li Yaoyue ascended the throne and proclaimed herself emperor spread throughout the kingdoms in less than three days!

At the same time, "Chang'an Weekly", "Jiangyue Tabloid", "Dazhou Monthly" and other influential and credible newspapers published an article at the same time:
"Qian and Zhou signed an alliance: the prime minister of Qian and the regent of Zhou! "

The news is out.

Shocked the world!

Yan country.

Royal Palace.

Listening to the eunuch reading the newspaper, Emperor Yan's face became a little ugly.

As he expected.

Because of this war, Qian and Zhou will fall into a state of endless death.

No matter which side wins, Yan will be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Even, there is a chance to send troops south to unify the Three Kingdoms.

However, the final result was completely opposite to what he had imagined.

The fierce fighting lasted only two short months, and all the civil and military officials of Zhou State surrendered to Qian State.

Qianguo easily won this war, and its strength has greatly increased.

Although the national power is still not as good as that of Yan, it can already pose a threat, making Emperor Yan feel like a stick in his throat.

"If I had known that the state of Zhou is a bunch of weak bones, I should have taken the first step and sent troops to attack Zhou. Now, those useless gangsters have taken advantage of it!"

Thinking of this, Emperor Yan felt a little annoyed.

Just now.

A eunuch came forward and reported: "Your Majesty, a merchant said that he was entrusted by the Prime Minister of Qianguo to present a gift to Your Majesty!"

Prime Minister's gift
Emperor Yan frowned slightly, and asked, "What gift?"

The eunuch said: "The merchant doesn't know either, only that it is quite precious."

"Do you want to make friends with me, Dayan?"

"From this point of view, Fang Xiu should have escaped the assassination by luck."

"He is still as cowardly as before. When something happens, what he thinks is not to fight back, but to calm down."

Thinking of this, Yan Huang revealed a look of disdain in his eyes, waved his hand and said:

"Let him present it!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The eunuch responded, turned and left.

After half an hour.

The eunuch hurriedly returned to Emperor Yan, knelt on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "Damn it, slave!"

"What happened?"

Emperor Yan frowned and asked.

The eunuch said with a bitter face: "The slave girl made her own claim, checked the gift box, and found that"

Speaking of this, it stopped abruptly, it seemed difficult to speak.

Seeing this, Emperor Yan seemed to realize something, his face was ugly, and he said coldly: "What did you find?"

"I found out. The gift box contains the heads of the elite sticking rods, a total of 47."

The eunuch put his head on the ground and said in a trembling voice.

Hearing this, Emperor Yan burst out with a strong killing intent, and the muscles on his cheeks trembled slightly because of his anger.

"Fang Xiu, how dare you treat me like this!"

Yan Huang's old face showed anger, and he said through gritted teeth.

The elite at the sticky pole, each of them is a dead soldier he personally trained, and the total number is less than 100.

Now, because of an assassination mission that was thought to be easy to catch, half of it was lost, and the target of the assassination was insulted in this way.

this moment.

Yan Huang only felt a stagnant air rising in his chest, he couldn't spit it out, couldn't swallow it, and it took a while to relieve it.

"Thousands of mistakes are the fault of the servants! Your Majesty must take care of the dragon body!"

Seeing that Emperor Yan was very angry, the eunuch showed fear, kowtowed and said loudly.

Emperor Yan glanced at him, and said coldly: "What does Fang Xiu's evil have to do with you! Get out!"

"Slave, this servant will leave."

When the eunuch heard this, he left in a hurry as if he had been pardoned.

Emperor Yan sat on the dragon chair and was silent for a long time before saying: "Call Liu Yuan into the palace!"

dry country.

Changan.

Palace, Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Wu Mingkong stood in front of Fang Xiu, looking at him carefully with his beautiful peach eyes.

Fang Xiu was a little scared by her, and couldn't help asking: "What is Your Majesty looking at?"

"I'll see if you're hurt."

Wu Mingkong said unhappily:
"The majestic prime minister, the Regent of the Zhou Kingdom, actually used himself as a bait to lure out the assassins, thank you for thinking of it!"

"This time I was lucky, I got out of the body, and next time I see you can have such good luck!"

It was originally for this matter.
Fang Xiu smiled, raised his eyebrows and said: "I am a member of the holy family, not to mention a few small assassins, even swords can't hurt me at all."

"Pooh!"

The little empress spat, and said angrily: "This kind of nonsense, only you can say it!"

Fang Xiu laughed twice, but did not refute.

Seeing that Fang Xiu was indeed not injured, the little Empress finally let go of her heart, and said, "I heard that you gave the heads of those assassins to Emperor Yan as gifts?"

Fang Xiudao: "Return to Your Majesty, there is indeed such a thing."

Got an affirmative answer.

The little empress was silent for a few seconds, and asked, "Tell me, what is your plan?"

Fang Xiudao: "I have no plans."

Seeing his calm appearance, the little empress felt a lot more at ease, curled her lips, and said, "It's no wonder I believe you."

Fang Xiu shrugged helplessly, and said, "I really have no plans."

"I know."

Seeing that he was unwilling to speak, the little empress stopped asking, and changed the subject: "How is the planning of Mingxiu Academy that you told me about a while ago?"
