Just when Chen Xiaobei was feeling uneasy, someone came from outside to report that Fang Zheng, Chen Junyu, and Feng Pengju had arrived.
At this time, Fang Zheng's expression seemed to have become much calmer, which made Chen Xiaobei have to lament that this old man's mental endurance was not very strong.
After the three came in, they knelt down respectfully to greet Princess Zhaoning, and then greeted Chen Xiaobei and Liu Rumei respectively.
Princess Zhaoning got straight to the point, "My dear friends, I have called you here today because I have something important to say."
"I'm afraid my health won't get better in a while, but national affairs are urgent and we can't keep them piled up here."
"I've thought about it. The three lovers, plus the consort Chen Xiaobei and Liu Rumei, the five of you are here to discuss important national affairs. It's really undecided, so you can ask me again."
After hearing this.
The expression on Fang Zheng's face remained unchanged as usual. It was obvious that he was completely able to accept anything that happened to him now.
However, Feng Pengju's face clearly showed surprise. It was obvious to him that Chen Xiaobei was only a third-rank official, and Liu Rumei had no position. He actually entered the most core echelon to discuss national affairs, and his qualifications were obviously not high enough.
Chen Junyu seemed to have the same intention. He pondered for a moment and said, "Your Royal Highness, please forgive me for talking too much. You are the one who needs to personally deal with the important matters of our family and country."
Princess Zhaoning glanced at him and said, "I will marry Chen Xiaobei soon. What I mean is what he means, and what he means is what I mean."
Having said this, Chen Junyu naturally did not dare to say anything more.
Since Chen Xiaobei represents Princess Zhaoning, then Chen Xiaobei and Liu Rumei are husband and wife, and it is natural for Liu Rumei to come to participate in political affairs.
Upon seeing this, Fang Zheng quickly took the lead and bowed, "Your Royal Highness, please rest in peace and recover from your injuries. Fang Zheng will follow your imperial edict and consult with Prince Consort Chen in case of any problems."
Feng Pengju and Chen Junyu over there saw Fang Zheng expressing his stance, and they quickly bowed and said, "I will obey the princess's decree."
Princess Zhaoning nodded, looked at Chen Xiaobei, and then patted her pillow. Chen Xiaobei understood that there was still an imperial edict under the pillow. He would have to explain this to Fang Zheng later.
Thinking of this, Chen Xiaobei cupped his fists and saluted, "Your Highness, please rest while I take my leave."
When Chen Xiaobei said he was leaving, Fang Zheng and others naturally couldn't stay, so everyone filed out of the princess's dormitory.
Chen Xiaobei looked at the people present and said solemnly, "The top priority of the three adults is how to deal with the late emperor's national mourning, and keep everything simple according to the princess's wishes."
Feng Pengju and Chen Junyu looked at Fang Zheng, and they also understood. If Fang Zheng had no objection, the fight between the two would probably be useless.
After all, Chen Xiaobei and Liu Rumei must be of the same mind. If Fang Zheng continues to support Chen Xiaobei, he will have a majority, and it will be useless for them to oppose.
Sure enough, Fang Zheng nodded slightly and followed Chen Xiaobei's topic and said, "Your Highness, Princess, made a wise decision. In the past two years, our Dacang Kingdom has been constantly fighting among ourselves and competing with the Great Tu Kingdom, and its financial resources have become serious." Overdraft, if we spend a large sum of money to organize the emperor's funeral, I'm afraid the people will complain!"
After listening to Fang Zheng's words, Chen Junyu immediately followed the words and said, "Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's national funeral a few days ago ended up being simple."
"Having learned from the past, if we keep everything simple this time, I believe the late emperor will not blame us."
After hearing what Chen Junyu said, Feng Pengju simply kept silent and said that it didn't matter what he said anyway.
Chen Xiaobei nodded, "Yes, Her Royal Highness the Princess means the same thing. Please immediately order someone to dig a mausoleum outside the city. Once the mausoleum is completed, the emperor's coffin will be buried in it."
After speaking, he looked at Chen Junyu.
Of course Chen Junyu understood what he meant, and immediately clasped his fists and saluted, "Please rest assured, Prince Consort, I will leave this matter to me."
Chen Xiaobei nodded, and then made a gesture, "Thank you for your hard work, everyone, please go back first."
Feng Pengju and Chen Junyu bowed slightly and turned around to leave. Just as Fang Zheng was about to leave, Chen Xiaobei spoke again, "Old Imperial Master, please stay. I want to say a few more words about Fang Jun."
Feng Pengju and Chen Junyu had no suspicion. After all, something had just happened to Fang Jung, so it was normal for Chen Xiaobei to leave Fang Zheng behind to say a few words.
When Feng Pengju and Chen Junyu walked away, Chen Xiaobei lowered his voice and said, "The princess is disobeying the late emperor's edict. She has killed too many people. Her Royal Highness cannot bear it."
After hearing these words, Fang Zheng was a little surprised, but he was reasonable. He cupped his fists and saluted in the direction of the princess's palace, "Her Royal Highness, your benevolent government is really a blessing to all people in the world."
"Her Royal Highness the Princess wishes to put the imperial edict of the late emperor back on the plaque at the back of the Qinzheng Palace. When it is really needed in the future, the imperial edict will be brought out again."
After hearing this, Fang Zheng was slightly surprised, "This..."
But then I thought about it, and put the imperial edict back, and put it back openly and openly. This can be regarded as a kind of respect for the late emperor Xiao An.
"Okay, Her Royal Highness the Princess must have thought deeply before she could consider this. I will just do it!"
"But Lord Liu is leading his troops outside..."
Chen Xiaobei nodded, "So, we have to ask the old Imperial Master to come forward and summon all the civil and military officials to the main hall. Let's put the imperial edict back and forget about it."
The two of them talked, walked out of the palace, and said goodbye. After walking a few more steps, Chen Xiaobei felt something was wrong. He turned around and saw that Liu Rumei's mood had become a little low.
"Xiaomei, what's wrong with you?"
"Hey, I don't know what's going on with my dad."
Liu Rumei's worries were actually a bit unnecessary. Liu Xiangnan led an army of 100,000 people to march day and night, and soon arrived at the border of Dacang Kingdom.
At almost the same time, Jonah's army began to gather, but soon he got the news. It is said that Liu Xiangnan's 100,000 troops have already marched on the border.
After hearing the news, Jonah sat on the chair for a long time, and finally he let out a long sigh.
"God won't help me. I didn't expect that this Liu Xiangnan would be so good at knowing everything, and he would take care of everything before me."
After sighing, Jonah came to see his father Jopson in person.
After listening to his story, Jopson also let out a long sigh, "I didn't expect this Liu Xiangnan to move so fast. If he is at the border, we may not have much chance in a while, that's all."
"Go ahead and let everyone go back to their tribes first, and wait until we find a good opportunity in the future."
The crisis in the Great Earth Kingdom was temporarily over. What made Chen Xiaobei and Liu Rumei even more happy was that in the evening, another piece of good news came back from Shuozhou.
Taking advantage of the Chinese New Year, the defense on the border of the Great Tu Kingdom was lax. Within a few days, more than 2,000 soldiers from the Great Tu Kingdom returned to Shuozhou.
