While chatting, a newsboy wearing a gray Chang'an newspaper uniform walked into the restaurant and handed a stack of newspapers to the waiter while shouting "extra number".
Various newspapers in Chang'an are divided into one issue a day, two issues a day, five issues a month, etc. Whenever a major event occurs, in order to spread the news quickly and timely, they will be temporarily compiled and printed, that is, extra-issue. Often only one or two pages.
As soon as they heard that there was an extra number, everyone in the restaurant knew that something big was going on and they didn't care about eating. Someone came over from every table and in the private room on every floor and took out copper coins to buy the extra number.
Li Ang also bought a copy. As soon as he saw the title, his eyes widened in shock, "Emperor Zhou gave in?!"
The slogan clearly stated that today, the Emperor of Zhou had given his inner Zen to his younger brother and declared himself the Emperor of Yuantian.
"Why is it so sudden?"
Some people were shocked and said: "Weren't you fine some time ago?"
"Two or three years ago, it was said that he was ill. After he was cured, he became unwell intermittently. In the early days of the court, the Queen and the Crown Prince of Zhou came forward, and the Prince assisted the government. Recently, it was said that his health had improved and he was able to handle the affairs of the court. The Prince also handed over the assistant minister. right."
Another person hesitated and asked: "Why did you suddenly achieve inner Zen again?"
Since ancient times, inner Zen has mostly been given to sons or adopted sons.
One of the few exceptions was Ruizong of the Yu State, who abdicated the throne to his mother, Empress Wu.
Inner Zen to my brother...
Often happens on the Turkic side.
"The newspaper also said that the trial cardinal and the sacramental priest of Taihao Mountain personally presided over the abdication ceremony. This was obviously premeditated!"
Someone lowered their voice and said, "Could it be another old story about Shenlong?"
During the Shenlong period of the Yu Kingdom, the Holy Queen became ill and the political power was in turmoil, which eventually led to the Shenlong Coup. The Li Yu clan used military remonstrances to force the Holy Queen to abdicate.
Afterwards, the five heroes who assisted in the coup were first named county kings by Emperor Li Yu. Then, due to various reasons, they were slandered and demoted, lost their power, died of illness and anger, or were killed by envoys. None of them survived.
Decades later, this matter is still sensitive, and no one in the restaurant takes up the issue.
But everyone's eyes flickered, thinking about the impact of Emperor Zhou's abdication.
It is possible that Emperor Zhou recovered from his illness and was about to take back power. However, he encountered resistance and even military remonstrance from the prince. Taihao Mountain followed suit and played a role in fueling the situation.
It is also possible that this sudden inner Zen was planned by Taihao Mountain - Zhou State's belief in Haotian was more pious than that of Yu State, but it was far less pious than the whole people of Xi Jing.
The emperor is still the authority of the country, not a subsidiary of Taihao Mountain.
Maybe this time, Taihaoshan wants to correct that.
Some people hesitated and said: "If the Zhou Kingdom also completely fell to Taihao Mountain, wouldn't it be..."
He didn't say everything, but everyone in the restaurant hall understood what he meant - Yu State was about to be surrounded.
It was noon, but the restaurant was extremely quiet, not even the sound of clinking bowls and chopsticks.
After a while, everyone came back to their senses. They didn't bother to sit down and eat. They hurriedly paid the bill and left the restaurant.
Over the years, the State of Yu has been increasing troops to the southern Zhou border, and the State of Zhou has been increasing troops in a reciprocal manner. Both sides are waiting for the moment.
Whether it is the Gong Gong princes in the court, or the soldiers and people among the people, they all feel that sooner or later there will be a war between the two countries, ranging from a few years to ten years.
Now that Emperor Zhou has abdicated, it may become a turning point in the fate of the two countries.
Li Ang was also among the people leaving the restaurant. He returned to Jinchengfang Mansion. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Chai Chai sitting on a chair in a daze with a newspaper in his hand.
"Master,"
Chai Chai came back to his senses, put down the newspaper and trotted over, took the medicine box on Li Ang's shoulder, and said nervously: "Did you see today's call? Is there going to be a war? Do you want to ask Leling?"
"Watched it outside the number,"
Li Ang nodded, "There was no news about such a big thing as Emperor Zhou's inner meditation beforehand. It obviously happened suddenly, and even the spies of the Yu Kingdom who were lurking in the Zhou court could not expect it.
It’s useless to ask Leling.
As for war... it shouldn't happen anytime soon. "
Neither the Yu State nor the Zhou State is ready for a full-scale war at the moment. The former takes time to lay railroads and improve transportation.
The latter also needs time to expand the army and train soldiers.
But if the Zhou Kingdom had the full support of Mount Taihao, the situation would be different. Mount Taihao has always wanted to transform the Kingdom of Yu into a country that worships Haotian.
The trial cardinals of the previous generation even said the words "razing the academy to the ground".
After coaxing the uneasy Chai Chai with a few words, Li Ang returned to the study, his brows slowly furrowed.
The noisy footsteps on the street entered the study through the window.
People in Chang'an, who had a premonition of an unstable future, took to the streets to buy daily necessities such as rice, grain, salt, and oil.
The communication copper piece hanging on Li Ang's waist also trembled.
Summons from the academy.
————
The Imperial City of Zhou Dynasty, suburbs, viewing tower.
"Jiangcheng is like a picture, and you can see the clear sky in the mountains at night."
A young man named Fei Lian shook his head and held on to the handrail as he climbed up the tall building, followed by the dark-skinned Yan Fu.
The two behaved strangely, but the people on the high-rise building who were drinking tea and watching the scenery turned a blind eye to them.
The reason is that Jun Qianzi is sitting at the highest point of the observation tower, and Ya Jiu is using Qian Ji Puppet Technique beside him to control everyone in the tower.
Wow——
Fei Lian casually dragged two chairs and threw one at Yan Fu's feet. With a twist of his palm, he turned the back of the chair toward him, sat down carelessly, picked up a piece of rice cake from the plate on the table, and threw it away. He put it into his mouth and said vaguely: "By the way, are you really not afraid of being discovered by Uncle Bian Yu and the others while you are drinking tea here?"
Bian Yubo, Bian Chenpei's father, is the current Cardinal Trial of Taihao Mountain. Below one person, above tens of thousands.
At this moment, Judge Cardinal Bian Yubo, together with Cardinal Sacrament, were in the Imperial City of Zhou Kingdom, cooperating with Zhou Kingdom courtiers to deal with many matters after the inner Zen.
The two cardinals of the Zhuxiao Realm, plus their entourages and attendants, are a force that can destroy a small country.
In addition, there are many Zhuxiao and Xunyun realm monks in Zhou Kingdom’s imperial city,
When a wanted suspect like Jun Qianzi appears on the outskirts of the imperial city, he is almost seeking death.
But his expression was indifferent, he slowly made tea, poured a cup each for Fei Lian and Yan Fu, and said gently: "Someone else will be here soon."
Yan Fu took the tea cup with both hands, while Fei Lian drank the tea in one gulp and said casually: "Who?"
Tap tap tap.
The sound of footsteps came from downstairs, and figures climbed up the tall building.
The kind-hearted ape-sou,
The ghost shovel with a cold expression chewing raw meat in its mouth,
Yushi, a young boy with skin, eyebrows and hair as pale as snow - he is the disciple of Situ Zhi who has been missing for a long time.
...
Everyone in Zhao Ming gathered together now.
