Chapter 361 The chess pieces have changed, and so have the players.
Chips, how many chips can you come up with?
Chen Ping calmed down and glanced at Nangong Ming and Luo Li. Is it true that Chang Deyuan, a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, also rebelled as Nangong Ming said?
You must know that you have provided a lot of supplies for the northern war. The alcohol saved the hands and feet of many injured soldiers and saved many lives.
Are these kindnesses really forgotten in a moment?
He couldn't help feeling that this was Vanity Fair after all, and these so-called friendships really seemed ridiculous in the face of power.
Chang Deyuan lowered his eyebrows and glanced at the three silent people, with a trace of regret gradually appearing on his face.
"Since you are unwilling to say it, it means you are not sincere. If so, please go back quickly."
"Beidaying is an important military area, and idlers are not allowed to stay."
His words touched Nangong Ming's sensitive heartstrings. Nangong Ming pointed at Chang Deyuan and said, "Are you still a general of the Dayu Dynasty?"
"If the old man hadn't taken the initiative to abdicate in favor of someone more worthy, do you really think you could have controlled the Northern Army?"
Chang Deyuan clapped his hands and applauded, and looked at Nangong Ming: "The Northern Army is now under the command of this general. If you, a nameless madman, dare to roar again, this general can capture you on the spot!"
Nangong Ming smiled angrily, without any fear at all: "Okay! You can try it and see if the soldiers of the Northern Army will draw their swords on the people who once led them to charge into the battle, and see if they will fight with the Nangong family.
Everyone is an enemy!"
Nangong Ming's voice was fierce and his aura was not inferior to Chang Deyuan's, and the two of them faced off with each other.
Chen Ping stood up at the right time and bowed his hand to Chang Deyuan.
"General Chang doesn't welcome us, so we're leaving. General, farewell!"
After saying that, Chen Ping turned around and walked out of the tent, grabbing Nangong Ming who was standing there.
When several people walked out of the tent, Nangong Ming's eyes were full of doubts, but he still chose to believe Chen Ping, because if he didn't want to, Chen Ping's small body would not be able to pull him.
"You..."
"Let's talk after we get out."
Nangong Ming's eyes cleared, he nodded slightly, spat towards the back, and followed Chen Ping out of Beida Camp with a gloomy expression.
It only took a stick of incense for a group of people to enter and leave the commander's tent. In addition, due to Nangong Ming and Luo Li's early reputation among the Northern Army, many sergeants had already come out of the tent to watch.
"May I ask, who is General Nangong Ming?"
Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted loudly. When Nangong Ming heard this, his body stiffened and stopped in place.
Soon he raised his leg again without answering the question.
When a group of people walked out of the military camp and rode towards the capital, Nangong Ming reluctantly looked back at Beida Camp and the soldiers there.
He clearly remembered that there were many familiar faces in Beida Camp, but now they have changed!
"Nangong, when someone called your name in the camp just now..."
At a tea shop next to the official road north of the capital, Luo Li frowned and asked, but was interrupted by Nangong Ming before he finished speaking.
"Didn't you hear what Chang Deyuan said? I am just a nameless fanatic now. How can I have the face to say that I am a member of the Nangong family until the Nangong family's reputation is restored?"
Nangong Ming clenched his fists tightly, his face full of unwillingness.
Luo Li was silent when he heard this. Although he came from a humble background, he understood Nangong Ming's pride, which was the glory of being a general's son, and the current Nangong family was definitely not what Nangong Ming wanted to see!
"Brother Nangong, don't you want to ask me why I don't continue talking with Chang Deyuan?"
"After your experience in Prince Chu's Mansion, I can see that you have learned the methods of those people. Although you are not yet experienced enough, your growth rate is rare in the world, and you are worthy of the name of Six Yuan Ji."
Chen Ping pursed his lips and smiled. He accepted this compliment because Nangong Ming was able to maintain his sobriety while acting energetically. Otherwise, he really didn't know how he would end up in Chang Deyuan's handsome tent.
.
"What do you think General Chang's position is?"
"If we were on the side of the King of Chu, I'm afraid I wouldn't be so talkative and would just quarrel with you, and even take the opportunity to detain us to buy time for the King of Chu to go to Beijing to do things."
Nangong Ming snorted and said nonchalantly: "I'm sorry he doesn't have the courage, but he just wants to hoard goods and sell himself at a good price!"
Chen Ping shook his head and denied his statement. He rubbed his chin with stubble and said, "It's not that simple. I checked his experience. Although his father and brother were frontier soldiers, they were ordinary soldiers. His ability to get all the way to this day is by no means extraordinary."
Such a simple person."
"This person should be able to see the general trend of the world clearly, not to mention that I hold alcohol in my hand that is vital to the army. You and Brother Luo are both in the army, so you should know the importance of this thing to the army."
"I have feelings for the Northern Army, brother Nangong has righteousness for the Northern Army, and the orthodoxy of the imperial court is also on our side. Chang Deyuan will not choose to die. As for hoarding goods, it is too late to stock up now.
?"
Nangong Ming was already deeply involved in Chen Ping's words. After a while, he breathed a long sigh of relief and looked at Chen Ping carefully.
"Luo Li, this guy you chose is really scary!"
"..."
Luo Li was silent while holding his sword, tilting his head and looking into the distance.
People's hearts are complicated, and he is not good at thinking about these twists and turns. For Luo Li, there is nothing that cannot be solved with a sword.
If so, then strike again.
Chen Ping smiled brightly and said, "I will take this as a compliment from Brother Nangong. There is no need to worry about the North Camp. General Chang's attitude should be because he is afraid of exposing his position prematurely and being attacked by the King of Chu." p>
"Since he wants to be a surprise force, we should cooperate well."
After saying that, Chen Ping drank the tea bowl on the table in one gulp, wiped his mouth and got up and walked towards the team parked on the roadside.
In fact, he was not sure that Chang Deyuan would do what he said. He was not a divination expert, but based on the information currently known, Chang Deyuan was most likely to do so.
This is enough, just do your best in worldly affairs, there is no need to be demanding, everything depends on people and God will do it.
It takes half a day to get there from Beidaying to Beijing.
When Chen Ping and his entourage arrived at the capital carrying the emperor's banner, they happened to bump into the King of Chu who had entered the capital to assist in the administration.
"Master Chen, why did you come from the north? I thought you had returned to Beijing."
King Chu opened the window, looked at Chen Ping's team, and laughed.
Chen Ping bowed his hands in return and shouted loudly: "On your Majesty's order, I went to the North Camp. I have to guard against the turmoil in the court! I hope your Highness will forgive me."
The King of Chu's face stiffened, and then he narrowed his eyes and waved his hands with a smile: "Master Chen holds the emperor's banner, so there is no need to interfere alone when doing things. Just go to Beidaying, and Beidaying will stabilize the capital and there will be no trouble." p>
"Master Chen, please."
Chen Ping smiled and said nothing. After being polite for a while, he walked to the front of the King of Chu with his guards. Under the gaze of the people on both sides of the capital, he arrived in front of the capital gate.
To say that these guards of the Palace Front Division are really elite, they followed Chen Ping day and night without any complaints, and no one fell behind.
This couldn't help but make Chen Ping think more highly of Emperor Tianqi. He could sit firmly on the throne for eighteen years and still manage the country in an orderly manner in the face of internal and external troubles. Emperor Tianqi should be ranked high among the previous emperors of Dayu.
Three!
"Master Chen!"
Standing at the gate of the capital, waiting for the King of Chu to enter the capital, is surprisingly Su Chengli, a bachelor and junior master of Wenhua Palace who is now serving as an assistant in the cabinet!
.....................
The eighteenth year of the Apocalypse, July 17th.
Beijing, Guanghuamen.
Led by Su Chengli, the Grand Scholar of Wenhua Palace, and other senior officials from the cabinet, as well as the Six Ministers, they have been waiting here for a long time.
After Chen Ping saw Su Chengli and others, he nodded.
"Chen Ping, who was compiled by the Hanlin Academy, returned in honor of the Emperor of Heaven! He welcomed His Royal Highness the King of Chu to the capital to assist in government affairs. As a result, my emperor ascended the throne and I was not able to attend. Please forgive me!"
Chen Ping dismounted from his horse and prostrated, and entered the state in one second. There was nothing wrong with the etiquette.
After a while, a slightly green voice came from behind the ministers.
"Chen Aiqing is commendable for her loyalty, what crime is she guilty of? Get up!"
Hearing this voice, Chen Ping felt a little complicated. Not long ago, he was an ignorant prince who was listening to his teachings in the East Palace. Now he has to shoulder the important task of making the thirteen states and hundreds of millions of people famous in the world, and he also has to face the emperor's uncle, King Chu.
Watching with eager eyes.
Unfortunately, he can only digest the depression by himself, and no one else can or dare to help him.
How can an emperor maintain long-term love for his children? Only ruthlessness can secure the throne!
Chen Ping stood up solemnly and stood aside to wait for King Chu's chariot to arrive.
Soon, King Chu's team also arrived in front of Guanghua Gate. The team spread out and the King of Chu's car was about to drive straight to the door. Chen Ping frowned and glanced at Su Chengli and others with solemn eyes. p>
"Your Highness, stop!"
The person who stepped forward was none other than Qi Hongming, the former young minister of Dali Temple who once undercovered the Chu party and is now the bachelor and young master of Wenyuan Pavilion.
He was wearing a wide robe and long sleeves, wearing a court uniform, wearing a beam crown on his head and cloud-head shoes on his feet. He was already sweating profusely in the hot summer. Chen Ping was very happy to see him, and it was hard for him to do anything.
However, the King of Chu's chariot did not seem to understand Qi Hongming's words and did not stop, but continued to move forward.
Chen Ping couldn't help but frown and stared at the grille window. He seemed to see the King of Chu inside with a crooked smile and a playful look on his face.
Seeing that the King of Chu's half-capacity or six-horse chariot was about to step on a group of court officials, Chen Ping was just about to go up and stop him with the Emperor's Banner, when he heard a majestic voice coming from behind him.
"King Chu, stop!"
"My father has invited you to come to the capital to assist the government. Since you are my uncle, I will not hold you accountable for driving in a half-standard car."
As these words fell, the courtiers retreated to both sides, and a dragon chariot, engraved with dragon and phoenix cloud patterns and inlaid with pearls and white jade, slowly advanced and arrived in front of the King of Chu's chariot.
And today, Emperor Yongxing is sitting on the dragon chariot!
The eighteen-year-old Yongxing little emperor looked across with piercing eyes. Although he had only been on the throne for a few days, his eyes were still full of the majesty of the emperor.
After more than ten breaths, under the watchful eyes of the ministers and the people around him, the King of Chu slowly got out of the car.
He moved extremely slowly, his face turned green and red, and a trace of resentment flashed deep in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, King Chu, has met!"
This sentence seemed to be said through gritted teeth. Chen Ping was so close to King Chu that he could even see the slight twitch on his face, which showed how aggrieved King Chu felt at the moment.
Emperor Yongxing on the dragon chariot was very satisfied with this, waved his hand gently and said: "Uncle, please rise."
"Give the King of Chu a bag of goldfish and ride with him on a white horse."
"The rest of the people, please come with me to the palace to pay homage to Your Majesty!"
Seeing the indifference on the raised face of the King of Chu, Chen Ping felt a little worried. The little emperor seemed to have dealt a severe blow to King Chu's arrogance this time, and showed his toughness in front of the civil and military officials of the court and the people of the capital.<
/p>
However, in fact, it did not really hurt the King of Chu at all. Not only did the King of Chu feel resentful for being humiliated, but it also exposed his still immature political skills.
He didn't know how Emperor Tianqi warned the little emperor. Judging from the current situation, the little emperor didn't seem to listen to Emperor Tianqi's instructions.
"Broken!"
Chen Ping secretly complained in his heart. Before, he complained that Emperor Tianqi was too shrewd and was always used as a spearman by the emperor. Now, someone changed and realized that the gap between the emperor and the emperor was so huge.
The little emperor just didn't like studying when he was in the East Palace, and his IQ was still OK, but in this power field, EQ is more important than IQ.
It seems that the little emperor's emotional intelligence is not very high, and he can't see how deep the water is!
"Mr. Chen, it's wasted on your extra trip to Peking University Camp. Doesn't it feel good to be kicked out?"
"His Majesty asked us to follow, don't be stunned!"
Chen Ping was just concentrating on thinking when the King of Chu turned over and rode on a white horse and walked up to him, reminding him with a sinister smile.
That expression is so proud!
Chen Ping licked his lips, gave a dry smile and then set off, but in fact he was complaining in his heart.
There are indeed people from the King of Chu in the Beida Camp. How long have you been back from there? The King of Chu knows about it.
Look at his expression, I'm afraid he already feels like he's the little emperor, damn it!
When the team advanced to the palace gate, all the people withdrew, and only Emperor Yongxing, King Chu, and Chen Pingping, the court officials, followed them in.
When passing the palace gate, Chen Ping found a familiar face among the guards, so he was so surprised that he opened his mouth wide.
"Thank you..."
As soon as Chen Ping was about to speak subconsciously, he wanted to understand what was going on. He slightly cupped his hands at the man and continued to follow the team.
Seeing Chen Ping and others entering the palace, the soldiers and horses in charge of the palace guards couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but it was just a sigh of relief.
Because everyone knows that this will be the most relaxing day for them, and earth-shattering events may happen every day in the future, and the situation will get worse day by day.
"Team leader, that Master Chen just now is your fellow junior, right? Hey! It's a great honor to honor the emperor's festival!"
Xie Zhiyuan rolled his eyes at this guy who was even more talkative than himself, and slapped him on the brim of his hat: "Sooner or later, you will get into trouble because of this mouth!"
"What happened to the Emperor's Festival? It seems to you to be a great honor, but do you know how many dangers and hardships are hidden behind it?"
He paced back and forth in front of the palace gate with his hands behind his back, muttering: "Cheer up, you all know what may happen these days. If something goes wrong, I will die first, and you will die last!"
All the guards in front of the palace nodded and bowed to express their understanding. Xie Zhiyuan sighed and looked back at the palace.
The guy his father found for him is really not easy to do!
Now he finally knows why that boy Chen Ping has been frowning all day even before he was crowned. Now he is the same, elder brother, don’t laugh at the second brother.
Xie Zhiyuan looked down at the bluestone bricks under his feet and was lost in thought. He heard that there were countless dead souls hidden under these stone bricks. They were all people who suffered palace coups and died tragically when the city was destroyed during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period.
"Xie Zhiyuan, the dandy who once played tricks on the capital, is dead. Now the only one left is Xie Zhiyuan, the commander of Yulong Nuzhi, the commander of the palace."
He suddenly raised his head, took a deep breath and murmured.
It's obviously a summer day in July, but why do I feel like I'm in an ice cave and want to shiver?
This is, why?
Yulong Nuzhi was originally one of the Four Yulongs who followed the emperor. However, Xie Zhiyuan did not follow the new emperor, but was ordered to guard the southern palace gate.
Xie Zhiyuan already figured out the reason, so Chen Ping didn't need to say more.
After the ministers entered the palace, as they got closer and closer to Emperor Tianqi's palace, the number of people around them gradually decreased.
In the end, only the young emperor Yongxing and the king of Chu were left, as well as Chen Ping, cabinet ministers, six ministers and others.
"Why are everyone in the palace looking sad? Could it be..."
"When your uncle arrives, you will know that your father has been waiting for you for too long."
King Chu smiled when he heard this, and he was also a little excited. Yes, it has been too long, it must have been more than ten years since we last met, right?
Shi Yuanrui, my dear brother!
Thinking of this, King Chu turned his head and glanced at Chen Ping. The smile in his eyes was particularly intriguing, and Chen Ping was pounding in his heart.
Because he doesn't know whether Emperor Tianqi is alive or dead now. As far as he knows, Emperor Tianqi vomited blood and fell into a coma three days ago.
Now...
"Everyone, please wait here. Uncle Emperor, please come with me."
Arriving in front of the palace, Emperor Yongxing turned around and gave instructions to a group of senior officials, and then raised his hand to invite King Chu.
King Chu nodded calmly. Seeing this, Chen Ping was about to turn around to avoid suspicion when he was suddenly stopped.
"Let Mr. Chen come in too. I think the emperor should have something to say to him."
King Chu's eyes were bent like crescent moons, and he said with a smile. In Chen Ping's opinion, this expression was completely unkind.
He didn't dare to answer, but kept glancing at the little emperor.
The secret of the royal family is that there is an emperor, a new emperor, and a regent in the palace. Even if you go in and close your eyes and ears and don’t listen to anything, others will not believe it.
What's more, the King of Chu said so, how could he be allowed to do that?
Emperor Yongxing stopped, thought about it seriously, completely ignored Chen Ping's sincere eyes, and nodded in agreement.
Bitter!
Chen Ping squeezed out a half-smile and followed him with a scowl. Every step he took was as heavy as a thousand stones, making him extremely anxious.
"Squeak!"
The closed door of the palace was opened, and what came into view was the incense smoke that filled the entire palace. King Chu sniffed his nose, well, it was all the smell of herbs.
The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up three more points, thinking about how many mistakes he, the emperor's nephew, had made in a short period of time, made him feel very good.
The emperor's brother is very clever, but the son he gave birth to is not so good. He is the son of a tiger father and a dog, so he should be the final brother and inherit the throne!
Chen Ping didn't dare to look up. Naturally, he couldn't see the general situation. Only the smell of medicine from the palace rushed into his nose. He couldn't escape this.
Step by step, he came to the side of the dragon bed. King Chu squinted his eyes and carefully looked at the body lying on the dragon bed with almost no rise and fall.
It is said that it is a body rather than a person because this person is no longer human-like. His hair is dry and his face is sallow and haggard. If the smoke at the end of his nose had not been slightly blown, he would probably think that it was a corpse.<
/p>
"..."
Seeing Emperor Tianqi's appearance, King Chu, who should have been ecstatic, was in a complicated mood at the moment. He looked at Emperor Tianqi with a stern expression.
Emperor Yongxing on the side couldn't help sobbing.
"Father, the emperor's uncle is here."
Hearing such a movement, Emperor Tianqi slowly opened his eyes on the bed. They were a pair of turbid spheres hidden under the deep sockets. After turning for a long time, they locked on King Chu.
"Yuan Qi, are you here?"
King Chu pursed his lips and took a few breaths in silence, then raised his hand and said unfamiliarly: "Brother Emperor..."
At this moment, Chen Ping finally couldn't help but look up. When he saw Emperor Tianqi's appearance, which was even more outrageous than that of a severely malnourished patient, he salivated.
"I don't have much time left."
"You and I are from the same mother and father. We grew up together in the palace. Why are we now at odds with each other?"
"Yuan Qi, both you and Chi'er are from the Shi family, and I can't do anything to anyone..."
It is said that when a person is about to die, his words are also good. Emperor Tianqi is probably like this at the moment. He is breathing heavily, his voice is like a bellows, and his movements are large, but it does not seem to bring him much energy.
King Chu listened silently, the corners of his eyes already wet, while Emperor Yongxing was already kneeling on the bedside, sobbing quietly like a child.
"Lonely, I..."
"I know you won't give up. When I die, I will go to see the late emperor and my ancestors, and I will tell them clearly that all the blame lies with me. But no matter who wins, you or the prince, the surname of this great person will still be Shi." "Hoo, ho! That's all I can do."
"But!"
Emperor Tianqi suddenly raised his voice and his whole face seemed to be radiant, but Chen Ping knew that this was just the last reflection.
Emperor Tianqi straightened up, his eyes no longer cloudy, and regained clarity. He grabbed King Chu's hand and said, "No matter who you are, you can't repeat the mistakes of the previous Tang Dynasty. The loss of Yanyun has brought shame to Dayu."
A hundred years!"
"If the Central Plains overturns due to internal strife, will Dayu want to cross the river to stay safe?"
"My ancestors will never close their eyes, and I will not close my eyes either..."
His words echoed in the hall, and Chen Ping was so cold that he stood on his head. Yan Yun has been lost, how can the Central Plains be lost again?
He has never experienced the feeling of subjugating a country and exterminating a species, but he knows that it will never be an uncomfortable feeling.
"Chi'er, you are already the emperor. After I leave, you will learn from your uncle and become friends and enemies!"
This last sentence was so exquisite that the little emperor Yongxing was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then nodded his head and silently agreed.
The King of Chu, on the other hand, had erratic eyes and could not understand what his brother was doing.
Why, why do you do this? You could have imprisoned me and raised me in my early years, or passed the throne to me, so why did you choose a compromise?
He felt confused for a while, and finally looked at Emperor Tianqi, who was taking in more air and less out of breath, and was about to die. King Chu's eyes were filled with unknown emotions.
Chen Ping had a panoramic view of it all, including Emperor Tianqi's last words, King Chu's touched expression, and the little emperor's withered tree.
What a wonderful drama!
He sighed in his heart and at the same time paid his respects to the dying Emperor Tianqi.
Compromise, compromise, throughout Emperor Tianqi's political life, he always made compromises. Unexpectedly, he also chose to compromise on the major world affairs he arranged before his death.
Perhaps Emperor Tianqi himself is not very capable, and he knows this, so he has been carefully balancing everything through compromise.
This is true for national affairs, and so is family affairs.
"Father, father!"
"Imperial physician, call the imperial physician quickly!"
Seeing that Emperor Tianqi was about to burp, Emperor Yongxing became excited and shouted loudly.
"Stop screaming, the emperor's oil has run out, and it's hard for the gods to save him."
King Chu said coldly, breaking Emperor Yongxing's illusion. He turned his head and glared at King Chu: "It's all because of you!"
After saying that, Emperor Yongxing rushed over suddenly, his eyes full of anger showing his anger at this moment. King Chu tilted his head back and stared into his eyes.
"Brother Huang is right. You are indeed not suitable to be an emperor. You are too young and too impatient."
"If you want to kill Gu Gu, you can call in the troops from the Palace Front Division. The good man's head is right here. Do you want to take it?"
Emperor Yongxing breathed hot breath, and his eyes changed from the initial anger to difficulty, and finally to confusion.
"Chi'er, don't argue with your uncle, come and accompany your father..."
Chen Ping was startled. Just when he was about to step forward to stop him, he heard Emperor Tianqi's weak voice. Emperor Yongxing let King Chu go and moved closer to Emperor Tianqi, holding his hand tightly and accompanying him.
Let’s finish the last journey.
Seeing this, Chen Ping took two steps back to avoid disturbing the father and son. King Chu also watched all this quietly.
Until Emperor Tianqi's breathing became weaker and weaker, and finally stopped.
In the eighteenth year of the Apocalypse, the Supreme Emperor died.
Chen Ping actually has no feelings for Emperor Tianqi.
Hey, how can a minister like him have any feelings for the emperor, not to mention he has only been in this position for a few days.
But for some reason, when he saw Emperor Tianqi dying, Chen Ping felt a surge of sadness in his heart that he couldn't hold back at all.
Because, he found that Emperor Tianqi was much more reliable than the two people before getting up!
Emperor Tianqi's death has been overdue for a long time. From the beginning of spring to the present, Chen Ping has to admire what a man he is.
Because if he hadn't been hanging himself with the medicine of tiger and wolf, Emperor Tianqi might not have died in such pain. Even though the other party had not fulfilled his promise to survive this year, Chen Ping did not intend to pursue it.
Why compete with a dead man?
However, when Chen Pingzheng was sighing, he suddenly remembered an important thing.
Emperor Tianqi, you didn’t leave any edict before you died!
Although you have passed the throne to Emperor Yongxing, everyone recognizes you. What do you mean by not leaving a legacy?
Chen Ping squeezed out the word "Sichuan" on his forehead, glanced at King Chu subconsciously, and then met his eyes.
"Master Chen, do you have the imperial edict from the emperor in your hands?"
Chen Ping:???
King Chu, how can you wrongly accuse a good person? Where have I seen the emperor’s edict?
"I have never seen any posthumous edict."
Chen Ping shook his head and denied it. He was just joking. Even if he really did, he wouldn't be able to tell you, let alone he didn't.
"Haha, are you here..."
King Chu still wanted to ask, but Emperor Yongxing stopped him. He suddenly stood up and said in a cold voice: "My father's body is not yet cold, what are you asking for here?"
"That's good. If there is no legacy, I will do as you, Mr. Chen, told me."
The King of Chu continued: "Now that the emperor has passed away, he is free to take care of the funeral affairs alone. From now on..."
"You are responsible for your father's affairs? I am your father's legitimate son, so how can you interfere?"
Seeing that the two of them were quarreling more and more fiercely, Chen Ping couldn't interfere. After all, this was the royal family's own business, so he decisively told the minister to leave first, and then left the palace.
After going outside and breathing in the fresh air, Chen Ping seemed to be reborn.
But when he opened his eyes, the color of the sky seemed to have become darker. He exhaled sadly and felt a headache from the ensuing dispute.
"Chen Ping, what happened inside?"
As soon as they saw Chen Ping coming out, a group of old men waiting outside flocked towards Chen Ping, and the leader, Su Chengli, asked impatiently.
Chen Ping pursed his lips and wanted to speak but found it difficult to explain. Finally, he let out a long sigh.
"Your Majesty, it's amazing."
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone immediately fell silent. Emperor Tianqi's serious illness happened in the early spring, and now Bintian is also reasonable.
However, after all, he was the emperor who had been in charge of Dayu for eighteen years. When they heard the news of Emperor Tianqi’s death, everyone even couldn’t believe it.
The same is true for Chen Ping. Although life still has to go by, everyone knows that the old era has passed and a new chapter will open.
No one knows what kind of bloody storm will follow the death of Emperor Tianqi.
In Dayu’s game of chess, the pieces have changed and the players have also changed.
.......
"Buzz——!"
Inside and outside the capital, a huge horn sounded for a long time until everyone heard the sound.
Emperor Tianqi has been suffering from illness for a long time. Not only is this matter known to everyone in the capital, it is basically not far away. In addition, today is the rare scene of Emperor Yongxing welcoming the King of Chu to the capital. At this moment, hearing the sound of the trumpet, everyone in the capital is worried. Tight.
When the palace guards tied their white mourning ribbons, the news of the Emperor's death spread quickly like a plague.
Not long after, cries began to sound inside and outside the capital. The cries slowly gathered, getting louder and louder...
Su Family Garden.
Su Yiyi listened to the noise outside and thought of something. She clutched the handkerchief with both hands. When Gardenia ran all the way to deliver the news, her little face turned pale in an instant.
"Madam, Uncle Ding asked me not to go out these days, as something might happen in the capital!"
Su Yiyi nodded silently, biting her lip and thinking of that young man.
"Chen Ping...will he be okay?"
Gardenia was also in trouble, and tentatively replied: "Probably not. My uncle is a Wenquxing with a sixth grade. Who dares to touch him?"
These words gave Su Yiyi some comfort. She loosened the handkerchief she was holding, and then wrapped it around her green fingers again.
"Zhi'er, tell me, is our Dayu Dynasty going to perish?"
"Ah! Madam, what do you mean by this? Bah, bah, bah, our reputation is so strong, how can we die?"
Su Yiyi murmured worriedly: "The former Tang Dynasty only lasted for more than two hundred years, and the two Han Dynasties were destroyed in about two hundred years each. It has been nearly two hundred years since our country was founded with great honor. In these years, there have been internal and external troubles..."
Gardenia also became frightened when she heard this. She knelt down and hugged Su Yiyi's legs and said: "Madam, Gardenia please stop talking, your reputation will not be destroyed, it won't be."
Su Yiyi stopped, calmed down, took a deep breath, and smiled at Gardenia: "I read these from Xian's book. I didn't think about it carefully at first, but now I feel it's really a coincidence."
"It's just that a family that has accumulated good deeds must have Yu Qing. God wants me to meet Chen Ping, who was born in a farmer's family in Liuyuan. Do you think such a person can change his destiny?"
Can I reverse my fate?
Squatting in a small room outside the palace, Chen Ping thought about this problem.
In his cubicle were six ministers and ministers discussing matters. He, a young man who graduated from the sixth rank of Hanlin Academy, was naturally excluded.
After nibbling two snacks that were always available in the palace, Chen Ping shook his head at his question.
It’s difficult, it’s too difficult.
The power of an individual is really small in the face of the overwhelming trend of the times. Even though his workshop in Qianzhou has tinkered with granulated gunpowder, the research and manufacture of muskets has been on track, and he also produced alcohol last year.< /p>
These things are good and can make him rich and powerful and even get promoted all the way up.
However, the sad thing is that he came at the wrong time. How could he be admitted to the Jinshi examination, enter the court, become an official, and completely enter the game in the year when Emperor Tianqi was burping?
Maybe I shouldn’t have been so anxious about taking the exam, and it would have been better to work hard for a few more years to accumulate strength. Even if I didn’t go back to Beijing when I went to Qianzhou, it would be a good choice to stay in Qianzhou to establish a sect and write books and biographies. .
Chen Ping thought about various possibilities, and when he finally returned to reality, he sighed.
Damn it! If you don’t have time to think about these things, you might as well think about how to deal with the current situation!
"I'm afraid the little emperor is unreliable. He's too reckless and can't keep his composure. He doesn't have the ability of even three points like his father."
"If I expect the little emperor to be with him, just one word, die!"
Chen Ping was worried. If he didn’t follow the little emperor, who would he follow? To seek refuge with the King of Chu?
Stop being ridiculous!
Otherwise, just lift the table and stop playing with the King of Chu. Anyway, the soldiers led by the King of Chu are outside the palace. As long as you act quickly and kill the King of Chu before his soldiers and horses can react, won't everything be solved?
The Apocalypse Emperor is in the capital, and now the little emperor is in charge. He happens to be young and energetic, so he will definitely agree to this plan!
The more Chen Ping thought about it, the more he felt that something was going on. Just as he was filling in the details, a man came to him.
