At sunset, the two brothers An Shicheng came back like muddy figures.

As a border general, regardless of whether he is a clan relative or not, there is no order, so if he wants to return to the capital, he can go back.

However, looking at the faces of the two of them, they have calmed down, and it seems that venting happily still works.

It was inconvenient to walk at night, Qiu Ruyi was busy asking people to make the bed, An Shicheng said: "You just care about you and your younger siblings, we will go out in a while, and we won't come back tonight." ”

Seeing the worried questions on Qiu Ruyi's faces, An Shihuan took a deep breath, and his eyes turned red again: "The emperor has died, and the border defense is becoming more and more important, and it is necessary to strengthen the deployment, and this matter cannot be delayed." ”

Some of them followed his brothers, and the sleeping quarters were arranged.

Qiu Ruyi asked people to change the cover to a new one, the two of them were temporarily crowded together, the maid's mother-in-law was also crowded with Wu Ma and others, and Lao Fan Tou and Lao Wu Tou slept in the gatehouse.

Liu Juan can't sleep well at night, she is sad for the emperor during the day, and she can't help but worry about the court at night, she is the daughter of the Liu family, and she occupies the same big position in her heart, no matter where there is a mistake, she is not happy here.

Although Qiu Ruyi was also worried, but the two were in different situations, and it didn't take long for Qiu Ruyi to be relieved in his heart.

It's just that there is a person lying around him who is tossing and turning like a pancake, and naturally he can't sleep well, and when he gets up the next day, the two of them have dark circles under their eyes.

For a while, An Shicheng's brothers also came, and they were in the same embarrassment, and after a hasty meal, An Shihuan and his wife returned to the city.

After receiving and confirming the news yesterday, Ubaoli began to set up the mourning hall to pay respects.

At this time, there is not yet the first month, the city still retains the traces of the New Year and the Lantern Festival, so the lanterns are removed and replaced with white lanterns, people also take off their festive clothes, put on plain clothes, the soldiers because they are responsible for protecting the family and defending the country, can not take off the military uniform at will, so they tied a white cloth around their waists and arms.

An Shicheng is different, because it is a clan, his husband and wife have to wear linen and filial piety.

Vigilance has been strengthened inside and outside the city, because after the death of the king of a country, it is mostly when there are many events in the court, and there will be foreign countries taking advantage of the opportunity to make trouble, and Bei Di has just surrendered, and there are still tribes in the middle of the tribe, and it is more and more impossible to take it lightly, and the atmosphere in the fort is becoming more and more tense.

Half a month has passed, and the border passes are still calm, and there is no change in other countries, but the DPRK and China are quite uneven, and the news comes one after another.

It is said that before the emperor died, he heard that the palace people happened to give birth to a dragon, and he was very rare, and he was born extraordinary.

The emperor died, and his heirs inherited the throne, which is the most justifiable, but it is too child's play to make this dragon chair by a baby who is less than a full moon.

Qiu Ruyi couldn't help but sigh.

This child, if he really ascends to the throne of God, is just a puppet in the hands of the Liu family, and it is inevitable to repeat his father's fate, that is, he is young and survived his grandmother Empress Dowager Liu, and Liu Chan in the back is not easy to get along with, but this is like this, and it is already excellent.

I'm afraid he won't be able to sit in that seat.

How can an innocent baby control the hundreds of officials in the DPRK and the people of the world?

The Liu family and the An family each hold half the sky, and if one is not careful, other An children will sit on the throne, and they will not let the child live to adulthood for the sake of the world.

Qiu Ruyi sighed secretly, the emperor arranged a way out for his cousins, but he didn't know what way out he arranged for this child.

The Liu family sincerely supported this baby to ascend the throne as the emperor, because "the blood of the first emperor is the blood of the people".

The An clan relatives had different opinions.

The child is too young to speak, how to give orders, it is simply nonsense! It is better to ask the queen mother to choose a young child of the clan to succeed the first emperor and inherit the great cause, and wait for 15 years later, the little prince will grow up and become a person, and then let the younger brother let the younger brother reach it, which is a good policy.

The ministers are out of many considerations, and they all have their own supports.

An Shihuan said: "If you eat the meat in your mouth, who will spit it out." In the future, will the new emperor tolerate that child? That is the only bloodline of the first emperor, the first emperor has always treated them well, how can they bear this heart. I really regret coming here, otherwise, who dares to say that I will not let the first emperor succeed to the throne, I will kill him first, everyone is a clan, I see what they can do with me. I'm going to put my words here today, no matter what happens in the future, I'm only loyal to the Emperor and his bloodline. ”

An Shicheng was silent.

Emotionally, he is naturally the same as An Shihuan, but intellectually speaking, he agrees more with the decision of the clansmen in the capital.

This world used to be the world of the first emperor, but it was the world of the An family, and a little baby really can't afford this responsibility.

Although the first emperor was frail, he was a smart man, and the Empress Dowager Liu and he also had a deep mother-son relationship, and the world was still in the hands of the An family.

From the little prince who is separated by one floor to sit in that seat, it is equivalent to the Liu family mastering the world, I am afraid that the Liu family will have a different heart over time, and it will be a catastrophe.

An Shicheng said: "It's useless for you to be anxious here, what matters now is to guard this territory for the first emperor is serious." ”

Mentioning this, An Shihuan disagreed, "Now the border is very good, even the king of Beidi knows that he has set up a mourning hall for the first emperor, and he also wrote a book to enter Beijing in person, but the capital is a mess, which makes people look down on it." ”

That's true. The new king of Kita-Ogi was originally a concubine of the former king of Kita-ogi, not a capable person, but a person who knew his duty.

When the king of Beidi died, the other sons were not convinced by each other, and in order to fight for the throne, the brothers killed each other, and during the period, they were taken advantage of by other tribes, and they died in a few years.

On the contrary, this prince, because of his duty, can be mediocre, usually did not enter the eyes of the king of Beidi, and now he has not been able to get into it, but he survived, and he also has some troops in his hands, so he was selected by the prince of Yongping County and the old general Yuan Xing, and supported him to become the new king of Beidi.

The king of Beidi is also grateful to Da Chu, and now although he holds most of the people of Beidi, there are still a few tribes that do not recognize him, and he still needs the help of Da Chu.

Da Chu has his own considerations, and to this day, the two sides still maintain a close and intimately cooperative relationship.

In other words, after a few days, the Marquis of Beiping passed by here, and it turned out that he had something to discuss with the king of Beidi, and An Shicheng and several generals were also taken to see the world.

Qiu Ruyi couldn't help muttering in his heart, the Marquis of Beiping is really a big person, and he called his grandson to do things by his side, but he didn't see his granddaughter-in-law.

However, Qiu Ruyi is now quite knowledgeable with An Shicheng, and knows that the affairs of the Marquis of Beiping are all related to the safety of the border, and after muttering a few words in his heart, he will let it go.

I don't want to do it at this time, but the border pass is not very peaceful, as if it was an appointment, the border pass is in full emergency, especially in the north, but the Beiping Hou did not come back.
