Empress Fenghua

Chapter 643 Regrouping
Zhong Lichun's funeral was handled by Hua Zhong, and all state affairs during this period were strictly controlled by Hua Zhong. It can be said that no one can get anything in her hands.Su Wen and Hua Mei are also helping Hua Zhong arrange the soldiers and horses in the palace. It can be said that a bloody storm may be waiting for this thousand-year-old palace city.

The heavy memorials have been piled up into a thick table, and there are endless batches of papers on it every day.And all the liquidation in the harem depends on the world's number one abacus thrush, and the most pitiful one is Su Su, who should belong to the concubine!
When Huazhong saw Su Su, she had been on a hunger strike for more than ten days, and she was too thin.The former beauty and beauty, but now it is aging in an instant.Hua Zhong didn't know her condition at first, it was Huamei who couldn't bear to tell her.

"Why are you bothering?" Hua Zhong frowned impatiently, "Since Brother Huang has already left, do you still want to go with him?"

Su Su smiled weakly, with tears in the corners of her eyes, "Your Highness, I have been looking at the emperor's back all my life. At first it was because of Su Yan. Later, Su Yan disappeared because of my status. When I gained status, it was because of my heart. We have never really been happy together, and I don’t want to live watching his back. Now that he has left this world, I have to look at the dust and follow his back. This is my fate, and it is also a bond that cannot be let go trip."

Su Su took out a folding fan from under the pillow, and slowly and carefully opened the delicate fan.The fan Hua Zhong naturally recognized it, and on the fan was a pair of ten-mile peach blossoms, Zhong Lichun's favorite. "This fan is the emperor's favorite and the only bond between us. Please allow this fan to be buried with me, Your Highness the Princess!"

Hua Chong's eyes were full of soreness, and he said in a choked voice, "Su Su, you should know that even if you are buried, it is impossible to be buried with the emperor's brother. The emperor has no heirs, and all the civil and military officials in the dynasty are watching this with covetous eyes. Palace, this palace can no longer go beyond it!"

Su Su raised the corners of her mouth, and her smile was a bit bitter, "I understand, so please Your Highness, the Princess, scatter the ashes of my concubine around the imperial mausoleum, so that my concubine will always accompany the emperor!" After finishing speaking, Su Su slowly closed her eyes. eyes...

Hua Zhong took the folding fan that Su Susai had given her and left, silent all the way, the exquisite fan covered with a layer of dust in her hands.Maybe in a few days, there will be no one else in the palace, right?Hua Zhong looked back and saw that the entire palace where Su Su lived was in a state of depression, and closed the palace door herself...

Candles flickered, and there were many figures.Hua Zhong frowned and looked at the civil and military officials kneeling on the ground in Linhua Palace, feeling an indescribable tremor in his heart.It's not that I haven't dealt with government affairs before, and it's not that I haven't participated in such battles, but in the past, under the premise that Zhong Lichun was sitting on the throne, I was just a regent princess.But now that the throne is empty, this seems to be a problem that does not conform to the ancestral system and etiquette!

Hua Zhong frowned and glanced at Su Ningzi, only to see that he looked cautious and worried, looking at Hua Zhong from time to time as if he had something to say but couldn't say it outright.He is also regarded as the most respected in the court, and his meaning may represent some people!
Hua Zhong sighed, "You kneel here and beg me, what do you want me to do? Do you want to withdraw from the court forever, or lead Dingguo to continue fighting, or hand over the imperial seal to Emperor Ling now? Surrender? Why do you kneel here and say a lot of etiquette and ancestral system, but I can't understand what you really want to express?" Hua Zhong didn't know that they wanted to drive him out of the court, but if he Leave, how long can this Dingguo last?

"The ministers mean that since ancient times, there has never been a woman in the court. Her Royal Highness has become the first princess in the court before, but that was when the emperor was still alive. Everything is decided by the emperor, but now the emperor has already taken the lead. Collapse, a country cannot be without a king for a day, shouldn't it be inherited from a virtuous person?" Chen Mingzhong said resolutely, "I think that in this crisis, we must deal with this matter quickly, otherwise people will panic! "

"The same is true for the ministers!"

Hua Zhong looked at Su Ningzi, only to see that Su Ningzi had a dull expression on his face, as if he didn't agree much with what they meant.

"If my lords say that, then this Palace will more or less understand. But this matter of adoptive succession to the throne is a major matter, and it must be carefully considered in a hurry. Therefore, as the lords said, 'Hurry up', I am afraid that it will take a while. It really can't be done!"

Hua Chong glanced at Chen Mingzhong, "Since Mr. Chen said this on behalf of the officials, I might as well listen to Mr. Chen's advice. Among the princes of the Zhongli clan, who can be a great leader?"

Chen Mingzhong's eyes turned slightly, "I think that there is no one in the line of Prince Jun in the Zhongli clan, and the line of the former emperor's ministers, the deposed Prince Hou, has passed away. I am afraid that we can only choose from the offspring of Emperor Wu, which is the closest blood line. I heard that Emperor Wu's fourth son, the grandson of Yong Wang, grew up under the teaching of Yong Wang. Although his father is a dude, this young man is very smart. Opinion. Maybe it can be a great job!"

Hua Zhong lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, the son of King Yong is a dandy who amasses money and kidnaps daughters early on, eats, drinks, whores and gambles.His father, King Yong, was old, so he had no choice but to let him go.But Zhongli Feifan, the grandson of King Yong, is a clear and upright boy, not only talented and intelligent, but also kind and kind, he is indeed a good boy.But his kindness and benevolence are all inherited from his mother, Chen Shi, who is the younger sister of this Chen Mingzhong!

Hua Zhong couldn't help but smile in his heart, the relationship between court and court was complicated, but he didn't expect it to be so complicated. "Since Zhongli Feifei has this talent, then let him return to the capital immediately with King Yong. During this period, the government will still be assisted by my palace!"

"Yes!"

Su Ningzi couldn't help frowning, but Chen Mingzhong was slightly excited.

"Mr. Chen stay here, I have something to say to you!" Hua Zhong said to leave Chen Mingzhong behind, and when the crowd dispersed, Hua Zhong raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, "Mr. Chen seems to be very decisive! Today he can incite all the ministers to do their best. If I support you, I will be able to incite all the ministers to oppose me in the future. I still remember that you were an honest person when the emperor was here. Now that the emperor's bones are still cold, you can fight against me here under the title of relative of the emperor. It seems that Ben Gong underestimated you!"

Chen Mingzhong hurriedly knelt on the ground, but without much respect, "His Royal Highness is serious, and this minister is only thinking about the stability of the country. Although Zhong Lifei is my nephew, he is indeed outstanding among the younger generation. Everyone can see that , otherwise it will not agree.”

Hua Zhong snorted coldly, walked in front of Chen Mingzhong, and watched him kneeling on the ground with his forehead against his skirt condescendingly, "Chen Mingzhong, it's very rare for you to cover the sky with one hand in this court! Don't steal chickens and lose money, I lost my wife and lost my army."

After finishing speaking, Hua Zhong turned and left, and Chen Mingzhong got up from the ground, still with a disdainful smile on his face. "As long as Fei Fei ascends to the throne, what else can you do?"

In a remote corner, Huazhong came to the dark place with a white skirt, and Su Ningzi, who was already waiting in the dark, frowned.

"Your Highness, you are..."

"Lord Su, the situation is urgent, so I can only get straight to the point!" Hua Zhong said solemnly, "Now that the emperor brother has left, I can't support myself. If Zhongli Feifan is really a virtuous and kind-hearted young man, then I can't help it." Otherwise..." Hua Zhong grabbed Su Ningzi's sleeve, "Otherwise, how can I feel at ease? I can't let the emperor down!"

Su Ningzi's face was heavy, "Your Highness, I understand your thoughts, but Chen Mingzhong is fully prepared, and Yongwang has also decided to fight. You know Yongwang, he is Emperor Wu's favorite son , It’s a pity that he didn’t reach the position, how could he give up such a good opportunity?”

Hua Zhong frowned, and knelt on the ground with a plop, "Master Su..."

"Princess, what are you doing?" Su Ningzi hurriedly knelt in front of Hua Zhong, "Princess, it is not the veteran who can advise on the current plan, but Wang Shilun Wang!"

"Master Wang?" Hua Zhong couldn't help frowning, "He has been assigned by me..."

Su Ningzi nodded, "I also ask the princess to forgive me. The old minister has secretly transferred Mr. Wang back to the capital for his good advice. For the present plan, only Mr. Wang can save the situation!"
