"Okay, why bother with trivial etiquette!"
Jian Yunjin spoke above, and then looked at Zhou Yu.
"Zhou Yu, I asked you to come here this time to tell you bad news. King Zhenbei was attacked by a sneak attack in Dragon Burial Valley north of Jubeiguan, and the entire army was destroyed..."
Jian Yunjin's voice seemed to contain sadness, sorrow, helplessness and persuasion!
"Your Majesty, are you kidding me? Yesterday, I received a letter from my father, saying that he would come back to celebrate my birthday..."
Zhou Yu looked at Jian Yunjin with a pale face.
In just over three years, the three beauties of Da Jian, who had delicate features, fragrant beauty, pleasant appearance, and always had a dimple when she smiled, became the number one in Da Jian.
Domineering and ruthless.
Although he still had the same appearance, the majesty on the other side told Zhou Yu that the good times between the two of them could never go back.
"Bold Zhou Yu, your majesty is true to his word, how could he lie to you!"
The annoying Minister of Rites spoke again.
Zhou Yu didn't look at him, but looked at Jian Yunjin.
"Your Majesty, is this true? Who did it?"
"I am also investigating this matter. According to the intelligence analysis currently available, it should be the master of the sect from Northern Mongolia who came down from the mountain to do it."
When he said this, the other party's eyes subconsciously paused on Wen Qiao.
Although it was just a meal, Zhou Yu had already seen that this matter was definitely related to this person.
He didn't believe a single word of Jian Yunjin's explanation.
This world is a world where dynasties and sects coexist. There are sects among the dynasties, there may be sects behind the dynasties, and there may be dynasties above the sects.
The two sides are interdependent and jointly build the world structure.
And that Wenqiao was from the Yunshan Sect.
But if you want to destroy an army of 100,000 people, it is impossible to rely solely on the sect, not to mention that there are martial arts masters in the Zhenbei Army.
And if you want to quietly destroy an army of 100,000 people, it is only possible if you cooperate inside and outside.
And this internal response is self-evident.
"Zhou Yu, don't worry. Not to mention that the King of Zhenbei is my hero who brought peace to the world. Just because he is my future father-in-law, I will not let the murderer go..."
Jian Yunjin comforted Zhou Yudao.
When Wen Qiao heard this, his expression changed and he winked at a person in the hall.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I don't know if I can hand over the murderer to you then. I want to kill that person to avenge my father!"
Zhou Yu looked at Jian Yunjin.
"nature!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Zhou Yu lowered his head and said sadly.
At this time, the Minister of Rites, who had received Wenqiao's words, stood up again:
"Your Majesty, as a child, you should be filial to your parents. Now that the King of Zhenbei died in battle, the two princes were also killed. There is no one to pay homage to King Zhenbei. I ask the prince of King Zhenbei to go north to the Dragon Valley to be buried in mourning for his father... "
"You have passed, Minister of Rites! The King of Zhenbei has just passed away. Zhou Yu is the only heir of the King of Zhenbei. You actually want him to go to a place like Mobei..."
The Minister of War immediately opened his mouth and stopped.
"Master Liu, the difference between these words is precisely because Zhou Yu is the only heir of King Zhenbei, so he needs to go!"
"Your Majesty, I also agree with Lord Sun, the Minister of Rites. Zhou Yu is the only son of the King of Zhenbei. Naturally, he must observe filial piety for his father. Otherwise, how will the world view him and Dajian?"
"Your Majesty, Zhou Yu is the prince of Zhenbei but not a court official, so there is no need for Ding You!"
"Your Majesty, Zhou Yu is engaged to Your Majesty. He is the Prince Consort and an official of the imperial court."
Someone immediately stood up.
"Your Majesty, even if Ding You is a filial piety to his father, our court will also try to steal his love. Now that the King of Zhenbei is newly mourned, there are still thieves from all over the world who are ready to take action. At this time, King Zhenbei's flag is needed..."
"Your Majesty, there is no conflict between Zhou Yu's succession as King of Zhenbei and his observance of filial piety to his father. On the contrary, people will talk about Zhou Yu's filial piety!"
"Yes, if Zhou Yu observes filial piety for his father, he will definitely win the praise of the people in the world..."
At this time, Zhou Yu just looked at him like this. He didn't understand why his observance of filial piety to his father caused such a big reaction.
However, he found that almost more than half of the courtiers supported him, Ding You, to observe filial piety for his father.
But he soon figured it out.
The reputation of his father, King Zhenbei, was too great. If he did not go to Dingyou and observe filial piety for his father, then all the good ties his father had formed before and the hearts he had conquered would be invested in him because of his father's death.
But if he goes to Dingyou, he will not be able to gather more power even if he has the reputation of King of Zhenbei in vain.
This is the arrangement of the empress, or in other words, this is the unanimous opinion of the entire court.
They did not want a powerful figure to appear in the court.
This character is also the fiancé of the empress, so the whole country can easily fall into a situation where two dragons are in the sky and the situation is unstable.
Regardless of whether they have that intention or not, they want to avoid this situation, so they can only drive themselves out.
"Zhou Yu, you don't want no one to worship your father after his death, right?"
Jian Yunjin looked at Zhou Yu, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
"As a child, it is natural for a child to observe filial piety for his parents. Please go to Dragon Burial Valley to observe filial piety for your father!"
Zhou Yu knew that he had no choice. With such great righteousness suppressed and everyone unanimously speaking, he had no choice but to surrender.
Otherwise, these people will accuse themselves of being unfilial, and they will definitely become the people who are criticized by the world.
But he didn't want these people to fulfill their wishes easily, so he proposed to go to Dragon Burial Valley to observe mourning for his father.
He didn't want to continue struggling in the whirlpool of Beijing.
He had to go out. Only by going out could he save his life.
"That's all, in that case, from now on, Zhou Yu will succeed King Zhenbei and go to Burial Dragon Valley to build the tomb of King Zhenbei to observe his mourning..."
Jian Yunjin's eyes showed a hint of joy and he spoke immediately.
The other party's willingness to go to Mobei saved him a lot of trouble.
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
Everyone bowed and praised.
"Your Majesty, since Zhou Yu has to observe mourning for his father for three years, I am afraid that the marriage with Your Majesty will not be completed in a short time. It is better to terminate the engagement as soon as possible..."
Wen Qiao, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke, and then looked at Zhou Yu: "King Zhenbei, do you think so or not?"
Although the other party was asking Zhou Yu, the oppression and killing intent on his body could not be concealed.
Zhou Yu reluctantly took two steps back.
There was a look of disdain on the young man's face.
Jian Yunjin, who was sitting on the throne, also had a look of ridicule in his eyes. A man like this still wants to be his husband?
As Empress Jian herself, her husband would naturally be the kind of indomitable hero with the peerless spirit to look down on the world. How could he be a second-generation ancestor like Zhou Yu?
"Your Majesty, no, the marriage was decided by the late emperor. How can your Majesty change it so easily..."
"Yes, Your Majesty..."
Some of the courtiers immediately jumped out to prevent the engagement from being broken off.
And these people are all humerus ministers left by the old emperor to the empress.
Jian Yunjin's face showed a hint of anger.
She had long wanted to break off her engagement with Zhou Yu, but she never had the chance. After all, she was a princess before and had to obey orders.
Later, he ascended the throne, but the whole Dajian still relied on Zhou Yu's father for support.
Now that Zhou Yu's father is dead and Zhou Yu has no backer, how could he still marry such a loser?
"Master Wang, what you said is different. After the death of the late emperor, your majesty observed the mourning for the late emperor for three years without getting married. Now that the king of Zhenbei is newly mourned, Zhou Yu must also observe the mourning for the king of Zhenbei for three years. If this continues, wouldn't it be a delay for your majesty? , I think the late emperor knew and didn’t want to..."
"My lords, when we made the engagement, Your Majesty was the princess, but now you are the empress. How can the marriage be decided by others..."
Some of Jian Yunjin's confidants spoke immediately.
"You! The new king of Zhenbei is dead, and you treat his only son like this. Wouldn't you make everyone in the world feel cold..."
Suddenly the courtiers argued again.
Those who opposed the dissolution of the engagement did not mean that they were loyal to King Zhenbei, but because many of them were ministers arranged by the late emperor to be humiliators.
As the courtiers argued, Jian Yunjin's face became a little ugly.
There was a hint of murderous intent in Wen Qiao's eyes, and he held the sword tightly in his hand.
"That's enough, it still depends on Zhou Yu's intention!"
Jian Yunjin slapped the dragon chair, stood up, and scolded.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
Everyone hurriedly saluted!
"Zhou Yu, what do you think?"
Jian Yunjin looked at Zhou Yu.
At this time, everyone's eyes were also looking at Zhou Yu!
Wen Qiao's murderous intention enveloped Zhou Yu even more.
