Prince Regent is actually just a title, not a title.
Generally speaking, when the monarch is young, weak, or seriously ill and unable to manage the government, a prince from the royal family will temporarily take charge of the government. This is the regent.
Of course, there are also queens and queen mothers who serve as regents, or relatives and powerful ministers who serve as regents.
The regent is the commander-in-chief of the government. All military and political powers are integrated into one body, which is equivalent to the emperor.
If you sit in such a position for a long time, you will be reluctant to give up power, and the monarch will become suspicious, and you will become unable to get off, and in the end you will have to rebel.
The famous regents of Zhou Gong and Wang Mang in history, one experienced twists and turns and died a happy death, while the other usurped the throne and established a new dynasty.
Later, Dorgon was regent.
After all, the position of regent is not easy to occupy.
The empress became Long Chen's regent, but Long Chen reluctantly did so.
The ministers dispersed and Long Chen entered the side hall, followed by the four princesses.
"Princess please."
Long Chen was not polite to them. This regent was not wanted by Long Chen himself, but was forced by the empress.
The four of them sat down and Long Chen said, "I won't say anything unnecessary. The Holy One should have already explained the reason to the eldest princess and the second princess."
Di Yuwei and Di Xingwan nodded slightly. The empress explained all the causes and consequences, so they did not object.
"The ghost clan is different from the human clan. Their cultivation level is very high, and the emperor's cultivation level is far from enough, so the saint wants to retreat."
"During this period, I will be the regent in name, but I have to deal with the ghost clan's dependent organizations, and please ask the eldest princess and the second princess to worry about government affairs."
Di Yuwei had already guessed that Long Chen would not really take over as regent. The empress said this to scare the world and prevent hostile forces from taking advantage of her.
"The prerequisite for dealing with the ghost clan is to destroy Nanliang and unify the world. The training of the army will continue. Please worry about the training of the troops. Please worry about the third and fourth princesses."
Di Luoxi nodded and said, "Okay, you don't have to worry."
Long Chen asked: "Do you have any questions?"
Di Yu looked hesitant, Long Chen waited for her to speak.
"The target of the ghost clan is the Long family..."
Di Yuwei finally said it. What she meant was that the target of the ghost clan was Long Chen, and Long Chen was originally from Nanliang. This matter was because Long Chen was dragging down Dazhou and the empress.
Di Luoxi frowned and said: "Eldest sister, what do you mean by this! The queen has already granted marriage, what about the Long family!"
Di Lingyi was also very unhappy and said: "What the eldest sister said is outrageous, even the mother and queen said so!"
Emperor Xingwan remained silent.
Long Chen smiled and said: "The ghost clan is too difficult to deal with. The eldest princess is afraid and wants me to leave. This is reasonable and reasonable."
When encountering something that seems impossible, people will find reasons to avoid it. This is human nature. Long Chen doesn't blame Di Yuwei.
"It seems that the Holy One didn't make it clear to you that the Ghost Clan's target was the Long Family, but when the Martial Saint counterattacked, in addition to our Long Family, the Di Family also participated."
"Also, the ghost clan has two targets, one is me and the other is the Holy One."
"If my guess is correct, the martial saint needs my blood, and the ghost girl needs the saint's blood."
Long Chen made the matter clear.
Di Yuwei and Di Xingwan looked at Long Chen in shock and asked, "Is the queen also a target of the ghost clan?"
Long Chen nodded and said: "Don't you think your bloodline is very special? Starting from Taizu, you can have children without getting married, and every generation has a daughter. Only in the generation of the Holy One, four princesses were born."
Indeed, the empress of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty only gave birth to one daughter in each generation. When this daughter grew up, she became the new empress, and this has always been the case.
It wasn't until the birth of their four princesses that this rule was broken.
People in the world have been talking about this, and many people even say that the empress actually raised Mianshou secretly and gave birth to many children, but only one daughter was made public.
Of course, these rumors are untrue.
The real situation is that the empress has a special bloodline.
Di Yuwei remained silent...
This time, dealing with the ghost clan is no longer Long Chen’s job alone.
The ghost clan targets the Empress, and they may also target them. The Empress has a special bloodline, and they must also have a special bloodline.
Emperor Xingwan sighed slightly and said: "There are no unbroken eggs under the overturned nest, just people on the same boat."
Di Yu said slightly: "Leave the affairs of government to us, and you can concentrate on dealing with the ghost clan."
Di Luoxi was very dissatisfied and said, "I just said it was none of your business..."
Di Yuwei and Di Xingwan were ashamed and stopped talking.
"Okay, I've said all that needs to be said. The four princesses have to worry about government and military affairs."
After saying that, Long Chen immediately stood up and left the Daming Palace.
After coming out of the palace, Long Chen rode back to the house and entered the courtyard. He Juntao came over to lead the horse.
Long Chen said: "Prepare another horse."
He Juntao knew that Long Chen was going out, so he immediately prepared another horse.
Long Chen entered Long Yuan's room and said, "Let's go."
Long Yuan put on a black gauze hat and a black gauze blouse.
He Juntao prepared his war horses, and Long Chen and Long Yuan mounted their horses and prepared to go out.
Just as they arrived at the gate, a carriage stopped at the gate. Gongsun Linglong jumped out of the carriage and said loudly: "Where are you going? Hey? Who is this person? You have another beautiful woman?"
The curtain of the carriage opened and Gongsun Yun stepped out of the carriage.
Long Chen dismounted immediately. Long Yuan knew something was wrong, turned around and rode back to the room, ignoring Gongsun Yun at all.
Watching Long Yuan leave, Gongsun Linglong was a little unhappy. Long Yuan was too rude to Gongsun Yun.
The ministers in the court, from the empress to the servants, were all respectful to Gongsun Yun, but Long Yuan left without saying hello.
"Who is that person?"
Gongsun Linglong asked, holding a whip and pointing at Long Yuan's back.
Long Chen smiled and said, "My...aunt."
Gongsun Linglong looked at Long Chen in astonishment. If Gongsun Yun hadn't been by his side, Gongsun Linglong would have ridiculed him.
It’s okay to recognize your sister and your master’s wife, but now you start to recognize your aunt. Is it more fun to play this way?
What a perverted dead eunuch!
Gongsun Yun glanced at Long Yuan's back, then turned to look at Long Chen again.
"It seems...a lot of things happened during the trip to Holy Snow Peak."
Gongsun Yun noticed something strange.
Long Chen smiled and said, "Yes, please come to Lao Zhuguo."
The carriage entered the yard, and Long Chen welcomed Gongsun Yun into the living room. He Juntao immediately served tea, and Gongsun Linglong went to the backyard to find Zhang Qian and the others.
"Last night the Holy One said that the princess's marriage was postponed, so I knew something big must have happened."
"What happened to postpone the wedding?"
Last night, the messenger arrived at Gongsun's Mansion and conveyed the empress's wishes.
In addition to saying that the wedding date was postponed, she also mentioned that Long Chen would be regent and that the empress would go into seclusion.
With so many things happening at once, Gongsun Yun knew something big was going on.
I originally wanted to come last night, but Gongsun Yun felt that it was inappropriate to visit in the middle of the night. He had to go to court in the morning, so he came now.
Long Chen smiled and said: "This matter is a long story, Lao Zhuguo, please listen slowly."
After talking about the cause and effect, I have already finished two pots of tea.
Gongsun Yun's face was very solemn, and he sighed slightly: "I didn't expect it to be like this... I thought you just went to the Changsheng Sect, but I didn't expect..."
"Are you sure?"
Long Chen smiled and said, "What do you think, Lao Zhuguo?"
Gongsun Yun was speechless. Who dares to be sure about such a thing.
"The survival of the world depends on me. It doesn't matter whether I am sure or not, I will move forward!"
Long Chen's tone was firm.
This battle is not only for oneself, but also for relatives, confidants, friends, and for the common people in the world.
There is no way out!
