Inside the Lingfu study room

The man sitting on the high seat was playing with the tea cup in his slender hands, his face was extremely gloomy.

Liang Shan stood in the audience and answered with a sullen face, "I followed the footsteps and found them all the way. I lost track of them on a small forest road. That road is the road where merchants deliver goods to Chihua. It's difficult to do things with too many people and too many eyes."

"It's very possible that he has already hidden in the crowd and sneaked into Chihua." He Lingjun moved his position, but his expression still did not soften.

"I looked over there and saw that no one in the nursing home was left alive. It seems that someone rescued them. A few people with good martial arts skills were beaten to death by another person, and the rest were torn to pieces by swords.

." Liang Shan reported 1510 times

He Lingjun sneered, "This is venting the anger of being imprisoned."

"Your Highness, what should we do next?" Liang Shan continued to ask

"The murder weapon that we have raised for so long has been amputated by the people of Chihua. Now the situation in Chihua is complicated. It will not be good for us if the sword falls into anyone's hands." He Lingjun stood up and looked out the window, his tone a bit

Regret and melancholy.

"Continue to investigate. Even if you can't get it back, you still need to know who has Dao Bo."

Liangshan bowed his hands and retreated.

"By the way" He Lingjun called to Liangshan, "How is the Crown Princess doing?"

"The old nun whom the princess was guarding has woken up."

He Lingjun hummed slightly and continued, "How many of the Queen's people have you stopped?"

"I stopped him three times in total. I'm afraid the Queen may have objections if I stop her again."

He Lingjun tilted his head and straightened his sleeves, "Continue to stop him, and I will explain to the Queen."

"yes"

He Lingjun reached out and lifted his sleeves, playing with the small plant by the window.

Inside the meeting hall of Chihua Palace

Many ministers knelt in several rows, and a man wearing golden armor stood resolutely on the golden platform. The man's face was full of wrinkles, his temples were slightly white, but his face was full of the aura of the rising sun. But at this moment, the dark

His eyes were staring directly at the people in the audience, full of gloom.

"What are you doing!"

Liang Dong, who was lying at the front, moved out first and said sadly, "Your Majesty, please think twice! The advance army of the Chihua Front War Army has already fought with Tianyu's side! Your Majesty also knows the news, and the advance army

Almost the entire army was wiped out. Tianyu’s side is full of well-trained and highly skilled soldiers!”

Everyone began to agree, and Emperor Yan on the stage turned pale and knocked all the memorials on the table to the ground.

"What a joke. Tianyu is beating me, Chihua, and you want me to watch here! How can I, Chihua, be afraid of him, Tianyu!"

"Your Majesty!" Zhan Yehua stepped out sideways and saluted respectfully with a loud and powerful voice.

"Your Majesty will never go on an expedition. Your Majesty is loyal to Chihua, and the people all know it."

Yanhuang turned his back and held the desk with both hands.

"I have already made up my mind. You don't need to persuade me. Besides, the crown prince has already been established."

"Your Majesty!" Everyone bowed and bowed, not daring to say anything in reply, so they could only lean their heads on the ground as much as possible.

Yanhuang ignored it and just took the sword from the guard beside him, strode out, but slowly stopped as he approached the door.

I saw soldiers standing outside the hall, but it was not Yanhuang who was going to lead the army. After Yanhuang was shocked by the size of the army, he immediately noticed the person leading the army. Standing in front of Haoran's army was none other than Yin Qu.

and Su Yi. Sure enough, there were field troops in these armies and some soldiers led by Su Yi.

Yanhuang looked displeased and had a bad premonition in his heart, and said in a loud and angry voice, "What are you doing!"

The overwhelming army was silent for a while, and no one said anything. After a while, Yin Qu removed the sword from his side, handed it to Song Lin behind him, and solemnly took a few steps forward to face Yan Yan.

The emperor performed the military salute, kneeling firmly on the bluestone ground with his left knee on one knee, clenching his right fist and throwing it on the ground, the shadow of the broken hair on his forehead fell on his determined eyes.

Then, starting from Su Yi and Song Lin, all the troops performed a military salute towards Emperor Yan. The sound of the soldiers kneeling was sonorous and powerful. The sound shuttled back and forth between the sky and the earth, shaking the hearts of everyone present. The lobby

All the officials inside, no matter how big or small, knelt down towards Emperor Yan at the door.

Emperor Yan was dumbfounded as he looked at the soldiers in front of him and then turned his head to look at the civil and military officials behind him. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't help but laugh out loud. This laughter was full of helplessness, and he could only shout helplessly: "What are you doing?"

What do you want me to do?"

There seemed to be some movement in the silent army. Emperor Yan took a closer look and called out "Ci'er?...Prince"

In the eyes of everyone, Yan Ci quickly and steadily walked to the dragon steps. He did not step forward. He just stood there and looked up at Yanhuang on the stage. He took out a roll of cloth embroidered with gold thread from behind, and used

Hold it with both hands, raise it high and kneel down to salute.

"Father, this golden cloth scroll not only represents the wishes of everyone present, but also represents the voice of the people throughout Chihua!"

Emperor Yan looked serious and stopped the accompanying eunuch who was about to go down to get the golden cloth scroll, "I'll go myself."

Yanhuang walked down the dragon steps and took the golden cloth scroll in Yanci's hand with his big, grooved hands. His hands were trembling a little. After pulling them apart a little, he still paused uneasily, his eyes were uneasy and distracted, and finally he pulled decisively.

It's open.

The golden threads looked even more dazzling than usual under the scorching sun in the sky. This dazzling golden light was reflected on Yanhuang's face and pierced his eyes without any obstruction.

At the moment when Emperor Yan put down the scroll, Yanci bowed to Emperor Yan and shouted loudly, "The ancient order of Chihua, if the emperor makes a wrong decision, the prince has the right to unite all civil and military officials to give advice!"

Yanhuang held the cloth scroll tightly and looked at Yanci calmly: "You are afraid that it is not just a matter of admonishment."

"Your Majesty is very stubborn and has been troubled by the attack on Haisheng. For the sake of your Majesty's dragon body, please move to a separate palace to rest in peace."

Emperor Yan sneered and followed the topic, "Then who can take the position of king if I'm not here?"

Yan Ci did not speak, but a voice came from the hall

"While Your Majesty is recuperating, His Highness the Crown Prince should assume the position of acting monarch and preside over all matters in Chihua."

Yanhuang looked for the source of the sound in confusion, and finally found the source of the sound in the first row of the hall. After recognizing the person, he laughed loudly

"It turns out to be Prime Minister Xiao. This is why you are urging me to establish a crown prince. The real reason is that only a crown prince can serve as the military and political leader of the country!" Emperor Yan's tone increased, and he looked at Xiao Heng with anger in his eyes, and then turned to look at him again.

Yanci

Everyone was silent, just letting Emperor Yan spread his anger until the anger was extinguished.

"What are you waiting for? The journey to the other palace should be ready."

Yanhuang's anger did not appear clearly on his face, but his words were full of sullenness.

Su Yi stepped forward and saluted Emperor Yan respectfully, "Your Majesty, please come this way."

Yanhuang exhaled heavily, looked at Su Yi meaningfully, and strode towards the direction Su Yi pointed.

In just half a month, the situation in Chihua has undergone earth-shaking changes. The troops heading to the Tianyu border of Chihua were recalled. The prince's seizure of power spread throughout the Three Kingdoms within half a month. Everyone was talking about it. Some sensible people praised it, and some praised it.

Many people call it unkind and unfilial.

In this way, the upcoming war was wiped away without a trace in the erosion of time.

In the main hall of Chihua Palace, a secondary seat was placed next to the main seat. The man sitting on the secondary seat was rubbing his eyebrows with his fingers, and his handsome side face gradually showed his displeasure with the content of the report by the people in the audience.

The person in the audience fell behind in speaking, and Yan Ci straightened up before speaking.

"Although the rebel cities are all small towns, this matter cannot be ignored." Yanci thought for a while and sighed, "Leave this matter to Prime Minister Xiao. Let Prime Minister Xiao come to see me tomorrow."

Yanci leaned back in his seat and said in a slightly serious tone, "How's it going in the other courtyard?"

"Your Majesty has been in a good mood recently. This morning he asked his eunuchs to cultivate a piece of land in the backyard of the other courtyard to grow some vegetables... It feels like..."

Halfway through his words, the eunuch in the audience realized something was wrong and immediately stopped talking.

"What's it like?" Yanci leaned forward.

"It's like... I want to live in a villa."

Yan Ci lowered his head and did not continue the topic. "Go to General Yin's Mansion, let General Yin enter the palace, and say that we have business matters to discuss, and we can't wait any longer for something."

"yes"

Inside Zhicheng Ruji Restaurant

In a room on the top floor, a series of abacus sounds continued to be heard, accompanied by intermittent laughter, sometimes laughing and sometimes whispering in amusement.

Based on Xuanpu's experience, Wu Chi skillfully calculated with his right hand and then wrote down the accounts. The curvature of the corners of his mouth never dropped.

Liu Li sat on the side and flipped through the accounts. He looked up at Wu Chi and felt happy in his heart.

"Seeing that the princess is so happy, it seems that this month's accounts are very impressive."

Wu Chi happily coded the accounts one by one, "Isn't that right? Since the old nanny accepted the account, our business has improved more than a little bit."

"But it's strange to say that the old lady is not someone who lets go easily." Liu Li walked towards the back room holding the account.

Wu Chi lowered his face and whispered to himself, "This is not because the old lady is relenting. It's just that the person behind the old lady has other things to worry about."

The appearance of Yin Qu and Yan Ci obviously deviated from the plan of the two people in Ling Mansion. Wu Chi rarely saw He Lingjun recently, but he often saw the servants in Ling Mansion, and he would come to Ruji every day when the time came.

Picking him up at the restaurant, as usual, Wu Chi would go down every day when the time came to tell them that he was not going back and had already stayed at Ruji Restaurant.

From the back room came the sound of Liu Li sorting out the accounts, and the sound of turning pages.

"Princess, it's almost time. It's time for the people from Lingfu to pick you up."

Wu Chi straightened her collapsed dress and walked downstairs quickly.

Before I even got down to the lobby, I heard the noise below. The noise this time seemed different from before.

Wu Chi almost bumped into the hurried catkins at the corner of the stairs.
