Wang Xingzhi pursed his lips, a little unhappy in his heart, thinking that as a courtier, although he is a military general, he also pursues the way of Confucius and Mencius, and the monarch who is benevolent and loves the people is always longer, and he considered opening his mouth to persuade, but he saw his soldiers rushing from not far away, and his face was anxious.

"Lord Wang, it's not good! There is a group of gentlemen in the south of the city who are making a fuss!

The fourth prince frowned: "What are you afraid of? It's just a group of scholars, and they are no more threatening than the enemy generals...... Before these words fell, they heard the noise and shouting under the city tower getting closer.

After listening carefully, there were many of them mixed with words attacking the four princes for being the sons of man and the royal family in vain, not only saying that the four princes were rebelling, but also criticizing the four princes' previous extravagant and arrogant style in Jiangnan from head to toe, and these words reached the ears of the four princes, which immediately made his face black as ink, and his fingers were clenched into fists, as if he would be able to swing them out in the next moment, and scatter these words with one punch.

And when these urgent roars will break through the voice into Wang Xingzhi's ears, it will be like a thunderbolt, and it will split him into several pieces in an instant, and this feeling is like a thorn in the back, stabbing him all over the body uncomfortable, and recalling in his mind that there are supporting voices everywhere he has passed all the way, making him almost forget his identity.

The fourth prince turned around and wanted to tell Wang Xingzhi, but when he saw his face that flashed with a little annoyance, he couldn't help but curse, "Look for death!" Then he untied his sword from his waist and rushed down from the castle tower with a murderous spirit.

Before Wang Xingzhi could react, he saw the four princes descending from the city wall, and he was terrified.

"Lord, you must not!" Jumping down together, Wang Xingyi held down the sword that was about to be unsheathed by the four princes, "Don't be impulsive!"

The four princes glared angrily at the approaching gentlemen, "Who is making a noise here? Don't retreat quickly!"

"You rebelled and slaughtered the soldiers defending the city, where did you have the face to scold us and others?" The gentleman who took the lead had a straight face, and the majestic aura of that body was like the water of the Lingling River, which was unforgettable, at this moment he straightened his chest, his eyes were full of anger, "Under the guise of helping the world, but doing such unrighteous things, the fourth prince, is this the grand ambition you are talking about?"

The surrounding officials echoed one after another, "That is, the fourth prince is just a person who sells his reputation and reputation!"

"What a sharp mouth!" the fourth prince looked at him coldly, "The people killed by this king are all people with rebellious hearts, rather than leaving them to harm the dynasty, it is better to die under the sword of this king!

The reaction of the fourth prince was not unskilful, but it was still not convincing, and as soon as he said this, he attracted a burst of ridicule.

"The prince said that he was worthy of heaven and earth, and worthy of his heart, but he was ashamed of the people of the world! Especially the people in Wanzhou City! If the prince still wants to argue, then open his eyes and see what Wanzhou City has become now! Look at the ruins of this city! Look at the displaced people, and then look at the souls who died under the prince's knife, and the tragic situation of their wives and children! The prince looks at these and says whether he has a clear conscience!"

Every time he said a word, the green tendons on the foreheads of the four princes jumped hard, until he told all the guilt of the four princes, stopped, and the whole face of the four princes was completely gloomy, and his eyes were quenched with poison, staring at the group of gentlemen in front of him who were talking, how much he expected to suppress Chu Shaoyuan with public opinion at the beginning, and how much he hated these people at this time.

Wang Xingzhi was already ashamed to die on the side, he had seen and heard more things along the way than the four princes, and the guilt in his heart was stirred up by a few words from the princes, and he just wanted to hide his face and escape from here.

"Wang Xingzhi!" The four princes' eyes narrowed, and they ordered in a cold voice, "These people take the lead in gathering people to make trouble, and they will all be locked up by this king!"

"Hmph! The prince can lock me up, and he can lock up a group of us, but he can't seal the conscience of the ladies in the world!" Looking at the soldiers who stepped forward a few steps to catch them, the faces of the ladies were full of fearlessness.

"Lord Wang, where are these people locked up?" Wang Xingzhi now just wants to deal with the matter as soon as possible, he can't listen to it for a moment, he is only afraid that the more they say, the more ashamed he becomes.

The fourth prince turned his face to look at Wang Xingzhi, and was angry, "Where do you say you are locked up? Do you want this king to tell you where to lock people up?"

Wang Xingzhi bowed his head: "My subordinates understand!"

"Hmph!" the fourth prince coldly took out his nose and strode away from the land of right and wrong at the foot of the city tower.

It's a pity that the bad reputation is like a tide, surging up, and in an instant it spreads to the surrounding cities, and the cities that resist the attack of the four princes are getting more and more, from the smooth fight all the way to the south of the Yangtze River to now, the four princes are getting more and more difficult, and he can't even take down a few nearby small cities, he can't help but be anxious, and his mouth is full of bubbles.

Chu Shaoyuan, who was busy repairing the palace in Yunfu City, heard about the tragic situation in Wanzhou City, and immediately ordered soldiers and prepared to rush to the front line to have a solid fight with the four princes.

The courtiers fell to their knees.

"Lord Wang, at this time, you must not be rash!"

"If you really take the royal conquest seriously, then you will fall for the trick of the thief!"

"The minister thinks that the prince should succeed to the throne immediately at this time!"

"The minister agrees with Lord Shen's proposal!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister also seconded it!"

A group of courtiers went back and forth to dissuade Chu Shaoyuan, and even expressed dissatisfaction with Chu Shaoyuan's practice of not ascending the throne at the moment, and some imperial historians even went to the fold to coerce Chu Shaoyuan to ascend the throne with death.

Chu Shaoyuan put away the fold with a headache, put it aside casually, and beckoned Zhang Quanshun to call, "You go and see if Feng Xuzhao has entered the palace, if not, send someone to urge it!"

Zhang Quanshun nodded yes, and as soon as he withdrew, a little eunuch hurriedly told him: "Lord Feng has arrived!"

He hurriedly responded, "Hurry up and let people in, the prince is in a hurry to see him!"

Feng Xu Zhao straightened up, strode in in a robe embroidered with intricate chrysanthemums, and respectfully saluted Chu Shaoyuan.

"How did you do what you were told to do before?" Chu Shaoyuan was impatient and still held on to the courtesy when he was talking about things, and directly interrupted Feng Xuzhao's actions and asked directly.

Feng Xuzhao restrained his breath and hung his head obediently, "It's all done, whether it's Yunzhou, Ningzhou, or Qingzhou and Wanzhou, which are farther away, they have already been explained according to the instructions of the prince, and there are some places that don't need to be explained, this is the fact, these officials have always been good at seeing the wind and making the rudder, not to mention that the prince is destined to return, there will be no problem." ”

"This matter must not go wrong, the fourth is already at the end of the crossbow, it is estimated that it will not be long before it will be defeated, this time is especially important!"

Feng Xu nodded clearly, "It's just...... In the end, the prince's maternal grandfather was taken captive by the four princes, and at this time, he is in the hands of the four princes, and he is afraid that he will have to suffer. ”

"This king has his own arrangements for this matter!" Chu Shaoyuan hated the threat of the fourth prince, he had already made a foolproof measure, turned his head and looked at Feng Xuzhao, there was no smile in his eyes, "Feng Xuzhao, since Chuangui came out, you have been used by this king, do you know how many gifts this king has received from the fourth prince in Chuangui, and now there are half of the people in the Manchu Dynasty who oppose this king's expedition, what do you think?"

Feng Xu Zhao twisted his eyebrows, and suddenly heard Chu Shaoyuan ask him this question, his mind turned sharply, as if he had realized something, a smile gently floated on the corner of his mouth, and it disappeared in an instant, he lowered his head very low, and said softly: " The fourth prince has been a quirky prince since he was a child, when the prince was still alive, he was silent all day long like a cloud in the sky, if he didn't look up to see, he would never notice his existence, and after the prince passed away, the four princes gradually became public, enough to show that his previous actions were done by paralyzing the prince, such a thoughtful person, if he wants to defeat him completely, he must start from the ancestral etiquette that he is most concerned about, and now he has committed such a crime in Wanzhou City, I am afraid that he himself knows that it is difficult to escape the responsibility, so it makes sense to go to the end with a smear, so the minister believes that now the prince should ascend the throne as soon as possible and become the emperor, and then justifiably send troops to crusade against the crimes of the four princes!"

After saying such a long list, in fact, the cold sweat on Feng Xuzhao's body has gone down his neck, he has been busy with errands these days, and he has never had any intimate conversations with this Prince An, although he has his own way of figuring out people's hearts, he is still afraid of guessing wrong.

Chu Shaoyuan looked at Feng Xu Zhaoming's loose and tight appearance, the coldness on his face dissipated slightly, and nodded with a smile.

"Lord Feng is right, this king also has this intention now, since Lord Feng has completed his errand, he will go to Sichuan Gui and pick up two people to Yunfu City. ”

When Feng Xu Zhao heard clearly who these two people were in Chu Shaoyuan's mouth, his back tightened as if he was facing a great enemy, "Minister, minister commands!"

Out of the palace, Feng Xuzhao's steps were a little heavy, and he walked step by step, walking home full of concerns.

Feng Yan has been following Feng Xuzhao's side these days, and today he has dealt with the things in his hand early, waiting for his father's return, and when he saw Feng Xuzhao's somewhat decadent appearance, he couldn't help but be surprised.

"Father, what's going on? What's going on?"

Feng Xuzhao looked up and saw his son's nervous face, and he didn't know how to say to him for a while, so he sighed and patted him on the shoulder: "The prince wants to go to Sichuan for his father." ”

Feng Yan was shocked, "What are you doing in Chuangui?" Speaking of Chuangui, the first person who rushed into his mind was that person, the person who would hurt if he touched it in his heart.

"Don't do anything, you stay in Yunfu City well, don't act rashly, if the prince orders something, just do it with your heart, the prince will not treat our Feng family badly!"

Feng Xuzhao didn't dare to tell Feng Yan everything about the matter, and after a few vague instructions, he went back to the inner house, and didn't say much to Mrs. Feng, only asked her to pack her bags and set off for Sichuan Gui the next day.

Chu Shaoyuan's enthronement ceremony was handed over to Song Xingyun, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Song Xingyun was so busy these days that he almost didn't dare to close his eyes, because the day was set to be close, he was a little rushed, not only him, but the entire Ministry of Rites was busy.

Fortunately, Chu Shaoyuan is an emperor who is not very willing to work hard and lose money, and his enthronement ceremony has not made any excessive requests, and even the enthronement ceremony of Emperor Wuzong, who was the most frugal before, is not much different, which is just in time.

There is just one article, which makes Song Xingyun a little annoyed, reading out the edict of amnesty to the world, which was originally read by Chu Shaoyuan, the emperor, himself, but at this time, Chu Shaoyuan, the emperor who is about to ascend the throne, forcibly pulled the princess over, and asked her to read it, which made it difficult for the officials of the Ministry of Rites, the original enthronement ceremony was carried out at the same time as the ceremony of canonizing the queen, but Chu Shaoyuan was unwilling, saying that he was too wronged by the princess and wanted to do it again, which was unprecedented for all emperors in this dynasty.

And this article alone caused all kinds of dissatisfaction among the courtiers, not to mention the courtiers who knelt down on the ground to admonish, but I heard that the Xia family, as the princess, also admonished Chu Shaoyuan.

Under the pressure of the previous dynasty and the harem, Chu Shaoyuan had no choice but to retreat and order Song Xingyun, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, to hold the ceremony after the seal was lively at the same time, and the matter of reading the edict was that no one could question it, this was the first official confrontation between the courtiers and Chu Shaoyuan, the future emperor, it seemed that Chu Shaoyuan took a step back, but Song Xingyun found that there was actually no actual effect.

Therefore, when Chan Yi wore a heavy queen dress, stood in front of the main hall of the Qianyuan Palace, holding the bright yellow edict in her hand, and read it word by word, the courtiers all stood there very respectfully as if they did not see that the person who read the holy decree was not in accordance with the etiquette, and listened to the new queen read the long and ornate edict, and knelt down in a five-body posture and shouted three times:

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

The voice was neat and loud, almost shaking Chanyi's ears with a roar.

The queen's dress was extremely heavy, although she was reborn in a lifetime, she still had never appeared in front of so many people, when reading the edict, although Chu Shaoyuan was standing aside, and secretly supporting her body, so that she could save some effort to read the edict, but he looked at her with such a focused and affectionate gaze, which inevitably made her feel a little nervous, and she felt that she was not good at reading at all.

There was even a moment when she wanted to throw the edict to Chu Shaoyuan and let him read it out by himself, but she had always had good self-control and tried her best to restrain her emotions.

After reading it, Chanyi felt that she was a lot more relaxed.
