Chapter 299 Looking for Chen Xiaobei to help transport supplies
Sun Yuliang came to the main hall excitedly with the edict in hand. When everyone present saw him coming, they immediately took two steps back unconsciously, and the civil and military officials stood in rows.
Chen Yuliang looked at everyone present and looked at Zhu Ziming, Sima of the Ministry of Rites, with smiles on their faces.
"Zhu Sima, please come up and read out the emperor's edict."
Zhu Ziming had no choice but to step forward, kowtow to the edict, and then take it respectfully.
After opening the edict and taking a look, Zhu Ziming's expression suddenly changed.
The edict of abdication.
A few big characters almost made him faint.
But looking at this handwriting again, it was indeed written by Emperor Xiao An.
Seeing him opening the edict, all the civil and military officials present including the soldiers of the Royal Forest Army knelt down.
Zhu Ziming hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke his mind.
"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict saying that I am too old and weak to go to court and to straighten out the affairs of the court. From today on, I abdicate the throne to Sun Yuliang. I hope that all my beloved ministers will assist me and protect the great Cang Kingdom forever. I admire this."
After reading this edict, everyone present was dumbfounded.
Even the old Prime Minister Fang Zheng didn't expect Sun Yuliang to do this directly. He originally thought that he could write an edict at most and ask the emperor to authorize him to act as an agent in the government, but he didn't expect that this kid would directly ascend to heaven and become the emperor himself.
But now he couldn't say anything. His life was in someone else's hands, so Fang Zheng had no choice but to take the lead and say loudly, "Long live my emperor."
As soon as he opened his mouth, Liu Xiangnan next to him also understood instantly.
Liu Xiangnan secretly felt lucky. Fortunately, Liu Rumei and the prince were still outside. Fortunately, he let Liu Kai take away all the people, so there was still a chance for a comeback.
Sun Yuliang, the Imperial Master, took off his official uniform and shook his hands. The guards had already prepared dragon robes on both sides and brought them over to him to put on.
Sun Yuliang spread his arms and turned around a few times, then slowly came to the dragon chair, lifted up his dragon robe and sat down.
Sitting on the dragon chair, Sun Yuliang grinned to the back of his head. After a silly smile, he looked up and saw that everyone was still kneeling on the ground. Then he followed Xiao An's example and raised his hand,
"Okay, everyone, please be safe."
Fang Zheng and Liu Xiangnan took the lead and shouted long live again three times before standing up.
Everyone looked down at their feet without saying a word.
Sun Yuliang didn't care. Anyway, all the third-grade and above officials were gathered here, and at least half of them had already turned to him.
Therefore, it is only a matter of time before I take control of the situation. I just need to let these people wait here with peace of mind until I catch those two bastards of the Xiao family.
You can eliminate your opponents step by step.
Thinking of this, he slowly said, "My dear friends, I have to work hard to stay here for a few days. When Marshal Zhu Meng and Marshal Zhu quell the rebellion in Qingniu Mountain, you can go home."
I knew that Zhu Meng went to Qingniu Mountain, but when these words came out of Sun Yuliang's mouth, I still had two different feelings.
Liu Xiangnan and Fang Zheng looked at each other.
Both of them saw the coolness in each other's eyes.
This is to kill them all.
But now that I am a slave and I am a fish, there is nothing the two of them can do except obey the arrangements.
Fang Zheng felt a little regretful at this time. He should have asked his family to leave the capital.
It was getting dark, and the carrier pigeon landed in Liufu, Qingniu County.
After Liu Rumei read her father's letter, her heart couldn't help but feel tight.
He immediately gave the letter to Prince Xiao Jingyun, "His Royal Highness Zhu Meng led an army of 300,000 to Qingniu County. He is coming for you."
Xiao Jingyun frowned, "Why did Sun Yuliang suddenly take action?"
Liu Rumei thought for a long time, then slowly said, "Is there any new trend on the princess' side?"
Xiao Jingyun stood up and walked on the ground with a frown for a long time, then raised his head and looked at Liu Rumei, "It must be, she must have done something. Sun Yuliang felt threatened and felt that he couldn't wait any longer."
Xiao Jingyun said this with a long sigh, "Oh, my sister is too hasty."
"If you want to dominate the world, you have to deal with Sun Yuliang before we discuss it."
In fact, Liu Rumei knew that there was no room for discussion on this kind of matter, and what the prince said was just a sigh.
"Your Highness, why don't we take a detour and return to the capital quickly? Things may turn around after we return."
Xiao Jingyun shook his head slightly, "Since you dare to send an army of 300,000 people here, Sun Yuliang must have made arrangements in the capital. If we go back, we will be falling into a trap."
"Then what should we do?" Liu Rumei also hesitated a little.
Xiao Jingyun banged a row of tables, his expression became determined, "Go up the mountain, go up to Qingniu Mountain. Immediately send people to summon soldiers from all over the world."
Liu Rumei supported this move to summon soldiers and horses from all walks of life, but it was a bit difficult to go up the mountain. With so many people eating and drinking on the mountain, that was also a big problem.
"It's okay for Your Highness to go up the mountain. But now it's about to enter winter. It's cold on the mountain. It may be difficult to get supplies to keep out the cold. Besides, with so many of us on the mountain, we also need a lot of supplies."
Xiao Jingyun smiled and shook his head, "These are nothing. As long as we persist for a month and wait for the soldiers and horses from all directions to arrive, Zhu Meng's 300,000 horses are nothing to worry about."
Yes, the country of Dacang is said to have millions of soldiers, but those directly under Zhu Meng are only 300,000.
So as long as the rest of the troops from all walks of life can come here, there is still a chance.
So according to this idea, we need to transport supplies up the mountain for at least a month.
Liu Rumei immediately thought of Chen Xiaobei again. It would be best to let the mountain people help transport supplies.
Thinking of this, she immediately said to Xiao Jingyun, "Your Highness, I have an idea. We immediately rush to Hetou Village and let Chen Xiaobei gather the villagers. Now we start hoarding supplies in the mountains in case of any unexpected events."
Xiao Jingyun nodded, "Okay, gather all the people and accompany Chen Xiaobei to transport supplies to the mountain."
Chen Xiaobei was about to fall asleep when the village guard knocked on the door and shouted.
"Chief Xiaobei, Miss Liu Rumei Liu is here. She said she has something urgent to discuss with you."
Chen Xiaobei raised his head and looked at the bright moon in the sky, "It's almost the third watch."
But there is no other way, I have to go in the middle of the night.
Liu Rumei was circling under the big locust tree, looking very impatient. Chen Xiaobei could tell at a glance that something was urgent.
Sure enough, when she saw Chen Xiaobei, there was no courtesy at all. Liu Rumei stepped forward and grabbed Chen Xiaobei's arm, "Brother Xiaobei, I have something to ask you for help."
Chen Xiaobei nodded, then gently shook off Liu Rumei's hand.
Only then did Liu Rumei realize that she had lost her composure, and her face turned red.
"Brother Xiaobei, I want to transport some supplies to the mountain. Please help me."
