The collapse of Emperor Xia, within two days, spread all over the world, leaving everyone speechless in shock.
This time, Emperor Xia was really dead.
Moreover, behind this amazing news, there is an equally terrible truth.
Emperor Xia died of an assassination, and the person who assassinated was the West Palace of Daxia, Concubine Wan.
Wan Yunshang has been in the palace for nine years, and it is really unexpected for everyone to start now.
Very few people know that Daxia's Empress Nishigong is the Qing Wuhen, and those who know about it will never say it.
The war between the two dynasties has gone through too many twists and turns, ups and downs, and today, there is no emperor at all. It must be said that it is a kind of irony.
When Emperor Xia died, it was impossible to say who was the happiest, but there were definitely happy people.
Little Moon is one of them.
Ning Chen needed to recover from her injuries, so she stayed at Prince Yan's mansion for the time being, and Xiao Mingyue naturally stayed behind. Although the little girl was nominally a prisoner, a hostage, and a meat ticket, she was actually not much different from her ancestors.
There is a housekeeper to protect her entering and leaving, so she doesn't have to worry about safety, and Ning Chen doesn't restrict her freedom, she can do whatever she wants.
Emperor Xia is dead, and the old eunuch Pei has disappeared. In this imperial city, no one will trouble him and Xiao Mingyue for the time being.
Now everyone is paying attention to which prince can inherit the throne, and the powerful officials in the court are also quickly standing in line. I am afraid that it will be a toss for a while, and who has nothing to do with them.
The eldest grandson is estimated to have a headache, and the emperor Xia's funeral and the establishment of the reserve need her to work hard, but he can't help with these things, and he is happy to relax.
As for the identity of Xi Gong, he vaguely guessed something, but he couldn't be sure, but he was sure that Wan Yunshang must have something to do with Beimeng Royal Court.
A few months ago, when he accidentally received a letter of Beiwuhou's betrayal, Nishinomiya sent someone to hunt him down.
However, it is meaningless to entangle Wan Yunshang's identity now. It is a fact that Xia Huang is dead. At this juncture, no one can admit it.
There are too many mysteries in history, and this one is not bad.
Prince Yan has rarely been in the mansion these two days. It is estimated that he was pulled away by the eldest grandson. The eldest grandson is the best in the world in pulling coolies.
It can be said that the two days after Emperor Xia's death were the most leisurely two days since he came to this world. He didn't have to work, fight, or bring children.
"Bad man, I'm back"
At this moment, Xiao Mingyue happily ran back with her cloth hat on, the housekeeper behind her was helpless, holding a lot of things in her arms.
"Ah"
Ning Chen felt very refreshed, seeing others suffering is really a refreshing thing.
"Uncle Rong, thank you for your hard work"
Although he was gloating in his heart, there was still a shy and grateful smile on Ning Chen's face.
"It's okay, just take care of your injury," Uncle Rong replied with a wry smile.
"Uncle Rong, what's going on outside, is it still that messy?" Ning Chen asked curiously.
"It's much better. The Marquis of Taiping and Marquis of Blood Clothes dragged their wounded bodies out to sit in town, finally making some people who are restless and guarding themselves feel a little jealous, and temporarily restrained their edge," Uncle Rong replied.
Ning Chen nodded clearly. In the big summer, Wuhou's deterrent power was unmatched by other courtiers. With two Wuhous in charge at the same time, there would be no trouble in the imperial city.
The source of the biggest problem now is the ownership of the throne. Daxia cannot be without a monarch for a long time. The decision of the eldest grandson and the third prince will be very important.
However, this decision is not so easy to make. After each prince, there are ministers who support it, and even the three princes themselves are not unified.
Duke Taishi was the teacher of the eldest prince, Duke Jingwu was the guide of the third prince's martial arts, and Duke Xiyu admired the tenth prince. All in all, the situation was a mess, and it wasn't something that could be sorted out in a while. Logically speaking, the eldest prince is the eldest son. Although he is not the eldest grandson, he was also born to the former imperial concubine. He was raised under the name of the eldest grandson, and he inherited the name of the eldest son. However, there are not many kings in the Dxia Dynasty who really established elders. This looks like a name
The rationale is not very convincing.
In addition, the other two princes are also outstanding, and the support behind them is also not to be underestimated.
I have to say that when Emperor Xia dies, Da Xia will indeed be in chaos for a while, and I don't know what unexpected actions the woman Fan Lingyue will have.
It's a scary thing that women are too smart.
Ning Chen had a headache and didn't want to think about it anymore. He finally managed to clear his mind. Just as he was about to reach out to grab Xiao Mingyue's snacks, a voice sounded that he didn't want to hear.
"Pass the decree of the Empress, and announce that the prince will enter the palace." A young eunuch walked into the prince's palace and directly read the decree of the eldest grandson.
Ning Chen's heart was suddenly unhappy, but he still didn't run away, but what made him even more unhappy was that he didn't dare to resist.
"Mingyue, are you going?" Ning Chen turned his head, glanced at the little girl who was pulling a table of snacks beside him, and asked.
"Go," Mingyue replied, dropping the snacks in her hand.
"let's go"
Ning Chen took Xiao Mingyue's hand, said goodbye to Uncle Rong, and then followed the little eunuch to the palace.
The guards in the palace are very strict now, and you can see the figure of the Imperial Guard everywhere. Everyone has a faint murderous aura, and they must have dealt with a lot of people these days.
The eldest grandson was waiting for him in the Tianyu Palace. Now that he is not an eunuch, the Weiyang Palace must have been unable to enter. It is very troublesome to want to see the eldest grandson. Daxia stipulated that the harem could not be involved in politics. On weekdays, even the eldest grandson could not privately summon foreign ministers, but special treatment was given in special times. Now that Daxia is in danger, the eldest grandson will not come out to help stabilize the situation, and the court may not be in chaos.
Sample.
In the Hall of Heavenly Mandate, the eldest grandson sat there quietly, Qing Ning was not by his side, and it seemed that he had left for something.
Ning Chen walked over with Xiao Mingyue, and respectfully knelt down to salute, causing Xiao Mingyue to be stunned for a while.
Bad guys still salute people? It was the first time she saw her.
"Okay, I've never seen you follow the rules like this," Changsun said irritably.
Ning Chen got up, feeling a little uneasy in his heart, Changsun seemed to be in a very bad mood, and this time he was going to be hit by lightning. "Bengong is very busy, so to make a long story short, the Beimeng military advisor needs you to talk about it. You can decide what to talk about, and if you bring up threats like seeing you, I don't want to talk about it. Until the mess is cleaned up, don't want to
I saw that the army of Northern Mongolia had already hit the ground under my nose."
There were no outsiders present, and the eldest grandson was very impolite. She only made requests. She didn't care what to do, and she didn't have so much energy to manage. These things in the palace were already busy enough for her.
"Am I alone?" Ning Chen asked in confusion.
"What are you doing alone, courting death!" The eldest grandson even thought of kicking people.
Ning Chen's neck shrank from being scolded, and immediately lowered his head again. Changsun Qiang suppressed the irritability in his heart and said in a bad tone, "The blood-clothed prince will go with you, and this palace will send you 5,000 forbidden troops to accompany you, plus the existing 70,000 soldiers in Beichui City, no matter how much you toss, you will also give them to you. This palace is delayed until the summer
Take this breath"
Ning Chen nodded sharply, not daring to say a word of nonsense.
"Go back today and prepare, and leave early tomorrow morning. Okay, you can go." After saying that, Zhangsun waved his hand and shoved him directly.
Hearing this, Ning Chen didn't say a word. After salute, he turned around and hurriedly left. On the side, Xiao Mingyue was also a little confused by the momentum of the eldest grandson, and looked silly.
After leaving the Temple of Heavenly Mandate, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief in unison.
"She's so fierce," Xiao Mingyue said with lingering fears.
"I'm used to it," Ning Chen said, covered in cold sweat.
"You said, will Sister Lingyue retire?" Mingyue raised her head and asked.
Ever since she saw so many soldiers who died in battle on Beizhangyuan, she felt more and more that fighting was wrong.
Ning Chen didn't answer directly, but instead asked, "If you are still in Beimeng Palace and ordered Fan Lingyue to retire, do you think she will retire?"
Mingyue thought for a while, and finally shook her head in frustration, "No"
Although Sister Lingyue loves her very much, it is impossible to compromise on this kind of thing.
She has no pro-government yet, and her rights are still very limited.
"Does Fan Lingyue look like a badass queen?" Ning Chen didn't want Xiao Mingyue to feel too heavy, and joked.
"A little bit." Mingyue stretched out her little finger and gestured quietly.
"Heh, there is progress." Ning Chen chuckled lightly, finally telling her a story for nothing.
Does this count as education starting from a doll
Fan Lingyue has grown bad, he has to quickly water a kind little flower.
One day passed quickly, and on the second day, the army opened, and the 5,000 forbidden troops headed north.
The Marquis in Blood was riding a horse at the front of the team, dressed in a bright red battle uniform. This was the hardest Marquis in Daxia. He had guarded the western border for many years and fought against the entire Eternal Night Sect.
Xueyi Hou was defeated in the battle with Wu Jun and was dying from serious injuries, but there are a few people in the world who can survive in the hands of Wu Jun. Xue Yi Hou is only a half-step innate, but it is difficult for even the innate. do things.
It was the first time that Ning Chen and the Blood-clothed Marquis met. After meeting, they respectfully gave a junior salute. This Marquis Wu, who was called guarding the frontier of the Great Xia and did not hesitate to hit the stone with an egg, was truly respectable.
The blood-clothed Hou was not good at speaking, and just nodded slightly.
The mighty army rushes day and night, rarely resting, and the forbidden army is all strong with martial arts foundation, this kind of intensity is still acceptable.
It's just that this is painful for Xiao Mingyue.
The little girl was a little overwhelmed by the bumps on the horse's back.
Ning Chen looked distressed, so he dismounted, carried Xiao Mingyue on his back, and followed the army on foot.
A strange color flashed in the blood-clothed Hou's eyes, but he didn't say anything.
Seven days later, the army, who had been hurrying day and night, finally arrived at Beichui City.
On the opposite side, the Beimeng camp has been stationed for half a month, and the troops and horses are in order, and there is a possibility of attacking at any time.
On that night, Ning Chen wrote a letter and sent it to the North Mongolia camp thirty miles away. The content is very simple, only eleven words: the bright moon is in my hands, come out and talk.
