The team is still marching.
As they got closer to Lishan, the atmosphere in the team became more and more weird and tense.
At this time, no one was complaining about the lengthy funeral process.
And the blazing sun seems to have become no longer important.
This was not a tacit understanding from the beginning. It seemed that starting from the assassin's sneak attack in the Wild Boar Forest, these power groups naturally came together. Probably because they felt that the secret fight was beginning to turn into an open fight. Because everyone knows that as the prince's funeral is coming to an end, the battle for the right to inherit the throne in the Longyan Dynasty will begin to really heat up.
Zhu Zhen's side is naturally a group.
Officials and generals who belong to the category of scholar-bureaucrats all gathered together, walking or stopping, or discussing something together.
"Teacher, there is really no movement over there in Liangzhou..."
An official supporting the old man Zhu Zhen said softly.
Zhu Zhen's old body was exhausted from walking for such a long time. He could only continue walking by relying entirely on the support of the people around him. Such a journey is really too much for a seventy-year-old man. But, this is the royal family, these are the rules, no one can disobey them.
"Um……"
Zhu Zhen nodded and said nothing more.
"teacher……"
"grown ups……"
"Mr. Ge."
A group of people were anxious.
There is no movement from Liangzhou. What does it mean at this time? It is most likely that the Holy Emperor has reached some kind of consensus with Liu Zheng... Most likely, Xie Tianyao has decided to let a female emperor ascend the throne? This is something they scholar-bureaucrats cannot tolerate.
So they hope that their backbone, Zhu Zhen, will come up with a solution early at this time.
Zhu Zhen smiled coldly: "I have taught you a long time ago that you need to be calm when encountering big things. Be calm, do you understand?"
"But……"
"This, sir..."
Now that this is the case, why are you still calm? This battle to seize the direct descendants is related to the fate of the Longyan Dynasty for the next hundred years. They scholar-bureaucrats have always had the final say in history and have always been the protagonists on the political stage. But looking at Liu Shilang's policies, it is obvious that he is very keen to bring some people at the bottom, including businessmen and squires, to an equal position with them. Scholar-officials have always controlled a dynasty and the elite. Whether it is the control of education, books, knowledge, and culture, it is their means.
However, the appearance of Liu Shilang has broken this pattern.
The empress comes on stage...
They didn't dare to think about what would happen.
"No hurries……"
Zhu Zhen chuckled as he walked.
The person next to him was wiping the sweat from his head.
"Your Majesty, you are still fishing..."
A group of people looked at each other.
fishing?
Zhu Zhen gave a dull sigh: "King Zhao will be the first vassal king to be eliminated after arriving at Lishan..."
"What?"
"this……"
A group of people were startled.
That's right.
In fact, everyone knows that the assassin in the wild boar appeared and Cheng Hua's mutiny was the work of King Zhao Xie Sheng. Although he concealed it very well, if the Holy Spirit wants to punish you, it doesn't matter how well you conceal it or whether you have any conclusive evidence.
fishing?
Everyone took a deep breath.
You see, King Zhao Xie Sheng is still in the team now, walking carelessly and laughing heartily. In fact... he is already a piece of fish on the chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered by Xie Tianyao at any time.
"This Minister Liu..."
Just as Zhu Zhen said, Xie Sheng was still alive and kicking at this time. With murderous intent in his eyes, he looked at the back of Liu Zheng who was riding a horse in front of him, his face already twisted in a ferocious manner.
"King Zhao..."
"King Zhao, I think we still need to take it easy."
“It’s better not to cause any more complications along the way for the time being.”
The members of the old aristocracy next to Xie Sheng persuaded him one by one.
Take it easy?
King Zhao thanked Sheng, but he snorted coldly and said nothing.
What a bunch of trash!
The current situation is already in the most unfavorable situation for their old nobles! Seeing that the battle for the heir is about to begin between Xie Chan and Xie Ming, no matter who succeeds in ascending the throne, what will happen to these old nobles? If Shilang Liu continues to gain power, it will actually be the most tragic for the old nobles.
The cabinet system that Liu Shilang proposed and has implemented in Longyan has completely abandoned the old nobles who have enjoyed privileges since ancient times in terms of power structure.
This is already the case...
Still want to take it easy?
They have no way out, they need to take it easy!
But it's obvious that they have troops and strength that can make anyone fearful!
"A bunch of trash!"
Xie Sheng smiled coldly and took a sip.
After the assassination failed just now, he had already ordered people to notify all the armies in Youzhou to start gathering. The military supplies and equipment had been prepared some time ago. The 300,000 Youzhou Assault Cavalry are already on the alert. If there is any change in Beijing, the 300,000 Youzhou Assault Cavalry will be ready to go south!
Go south!
A fanatical light flashed in Xie Sheng's eyes.
Among the old nobles, there are already two vassal kings who have expressed their clear support for themselves. Three vassal kings... that is an army of 900,000 and an army of one million! An army of millions marches south, who can resist?
What he didn't know was.
At this time, the old nobles who had planned the entire plan with him also looked at his back with disdain.
mutiny……
Even if it was a mutiny, how could they allow you, Xie Sheng, to benefit alone? Why are you the leader of our old nobles? Who compares with whom, and what's the difference?
If they really mutiny, even if they embark on a road of no return, they can only win, not fail...
By then, who will be the final beneficiary of this mutiny?
Split the cake?
hehe.
Which of these vassal kings is not named Xie? Why should I share the cake with you?
And Liu Zheng is very busy now.
a while.
Gu Jin called him here and there to help.
a while.
Xie Chan, who was in the princess's car, called her to deliver water...
Deliver water...
Liu Zheng was about to collapse.
Of course, every time he delivered water, he would encounter the knife-like look in his wife's eyes.
He knew where the anger was coming from.
"It's so happy to be walking with the United States..."
This time, Xie Chan gurgled again and drank the water that Liu Zheng handed over.
Liu Zheng, who was standing by the car window, smiled bitterly: "Chan'er, after all, I belong to the Ministry of Rites..."
"You still said it, you still said it!"
Xie Chan is so angry.
Liu Zheng chuckled.
No matter what, he felt very happy when he looked at Xie Chan's cute and innocent look. For a moment, I forgot about the changes in the atmosphere in the team at this time, these intrigues and intrigues.
"Drink less. If you drink too much, you will be punished... How many times have you done this along the way?"
Liu Zheng smiled helplessly.
"You, you, you... Huh! I'm just thirsty!"
Xie Chan immediately threw the water bag over and hummed softly.
Liu Zheng smiled bitterly: "Okay, okay, thirsty, thirsty..."
What kind of evil is this?
Everyone is secretly studying how many soldiers and horses there are, whether there will be a mutiny, and the fight for the right to inherit the throne...
I am still in this vortex of jealousy.
Headache……
What a headache...
At this time, the hot-tempered Gu Jin came running again...
Looking at Xie Chan's anger level, it increased again.
Liu Zheng quickly kicked off his horse and fled the scene.
