"Is it true? Is it really the queen mother's edict, don't lie? ”

When it was learned that the Zhenbei Wangfu was willing to accept the appraisal of the people of the world, the people on several sides were silent, and it seemed that the accuracy of this edict was high.

"Even if it's really the Queen Mother's edict, so what? Isn't it the edict of the first emperor? ”

Someone said with such a sneer.

"That's it, this isn't a play house, how can a female streamer say what it is? The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and the Empress Dowager Xiao has passed. ”

"I don't think we have to follow the reads even if this edict is true. The world is the world of the people of the world, and it is the world of the Li family, but the surname is not Xiao. ”

……

Although the words were different, there was one central point that was the same, that is, they would never obey the will of this edict.

On this point, the three parties are strikingly unanimous.

They have all come to this point, and naturally they will not give up lightly.

But the Queen Mother's edict is not useless. The most affected was the imperial court in Hangzhou. The four auxiliary ministers designated in the empress dowager's edict, in addition to the king of Zhenbei who was far away in Zhenbei City, the other three, such as Prime Minister Wang Kui, auxiliary minister Xie An and Zhu Zhennan, king of Runan, coincidentally, were all in Hangzhou.

Because of this holy decree, the Hangzhou court finally came to a big reshuffle.

Why did this happen, it has to start from the role of the three of them in the Hangzhou court and the complicated relationship between the three of them and Li Shiqing.

Whether it is Wang Huai, Xie An or King Runan, there is actually a knot between him and Li Shiqing.

Before, they had quite an opinion on Li Shigan's collusion with the Dongping Mansion to seize the throne by bloody means. even said that he was sick and couldn't go to court for this reason. The relationship with the new monarch is really not very good.

However, in order to get the support of the courtiers and guard against Xiang Yan's Dongping army, Li Shiqing won them over and still entrusted the three of them with important tasks. But the heart is not without pimples.

And Wang Huai, Xie An, and King Runan also have a knot in their hearts for Li Shiqing.

It's just that the situation developed too quickly, and before Wang Huai, Xie An, King Runan and Li Shigan finally untied the knot, the Yidi army came.

They involuntarily fled with Li Shiqing and came to Hangzhou. The world is in turmoil, pirates are rampant, and the whereabouts of other princes are unknown. Under such circumstances, Wang Huai, Xie An, and King Runan could not care about the improper means of entangled Li Shiqing's ascension, so everyone first set up the sign of the imperial court in Hangzhou, issued an edict, and pacified the Quartet, striving to control the situation and avoid chaos in the world. In the process, their relationship has also improved somewhat, and there has been a brief honeymoon period.

It was only later that the rise of the Zhou family made their honeymoon appear in the shadows.

In the process of fleeing, many of the original courtiers were killed and separated, and by the time they arrived in Hangzhou, there was almost no one in the original team.

In order to operate normally, the newly established Hangzhou Imperial Court inevitably added a large number of local fresh blood.

These new blood did greatly alleviate the embarrassing scene of their lack of manpower in a short period of time. It's just that gradually, things don't quite go quite right. Wang Huai, Xie An, and King Runan found that the weight of their words became weaker and weaker.

And the Zhou family, as the first local family in Hangzhou, has received the support of these new schools in Hangzhou and has become stronger and stronger. The nominal prime minister and auxiliary minister are still Wang Huai and Xie An, but what Zhou Shangshu, the third prime minister, said is much more useful than them. And Li Shiqing's heart gradually shifted towards the Zhou family, and he valued the Zhou family very much. Even this most important trip to Zhenbei did not choose the candidate they recommended, but chose the next generation leader of the Zhou family, the son of Wednesday.

The ambition of the Zhou family is self-evident.

The same situation befell Zhu Zhennan, the king of Runan, and the southern generals supported by the Zhou family competed with the Kyoto army led by the king of Runan.

The imperial court could not escape all the way to Hangzhou, thanks to the protection of the Kyoto army led by the king of Runan, but they were also pursued by the Yidi coalition army and harassed by pirates. By the time they arrived in Hangzhou, there was not much left of the Kyoto army. With such military strength, at most, it can only protect the palace of Li Shiqing, and the security of Hangzhou and the suppression of pirates outside all depend on these original armed forces in the south.

Li Shiqing's dependence on the Zhou family has become heavier and heavier.

Wang Huai, Xie An, and Zhu Zhennan were also aware of the crisis, and the three of them joined forces to compete with the Zhou family, and secretly tried to provoke Li Shigen's trust in the Zhou family, and win over the local families in Hangzhou who had conflicts with the Zhou family.

But as soon as the Empress Dowager's edict came out this time, Li Shiqing's eyes on them became strange.

The Empress Dowager designated the three of them as the auxiliary ministers of the Six Princes, and the people of the Zhou faction seized the opportunity to attack them, saying that they had different intentions, and they were in Cao Ying's heart in Han.

The positions of Wang Huai, Xie An, and Zhu Zhennan, the king of Runan, were completely replaced by Zhou Shangshu and the generals they supported.

At this point, the Kyoto faction in the imperial court was completely lost, or they served the Zhou family or were excluded, and the imperial court became the world of the entire Zhou family.

After Zhou Shangshu came to power, he adopted a different strategy from Wang Huai, Xie An, and King Runan, and instead of purging the pirates, he adopted negotiations to surrender. The strategy soon paid off, as the raging pirates withdrew from the river, the south became clear again, and the populace rejoiced and everyone applauded. As long as the agreement is finally signed, the pirates will become an official army in the blink of an eye, and it can be said that the south will have a great new force, and its strength will increase greatly, and it will have the qualifications to compete with other parties.

Li Shiqing was relieved and felt that the decision he had made was indeed wise and ambitious.

However, on the other hand, Li Shiqing is not unguarded against the Zhou family, whose power is greatly expanded. The art of the emperor is the way of balance, and it is definitely not a good thing to let a certain courtier take the lead. It's just that now he can't trust Wang Huai, Xie An and Zhu Zhennan, and Li Shigen is also secretly looking for a person who can balance the Zhou family.

At this time, the pirate king Chen Sheng sent an invitation to the imperial court, saying that his daughter, Chen Haizhu's birthday banquet, was about to be held.

At present, the two sides are in the stage of discussing peace and surrendering, and the Hangzhou Imperial Court will definitely give this face, and it will definitely send someone to congratulate it, and the key is who to send.

Around this issue, the Hangzhou court launched a heated discussion, however, several candidates were basically proposed by the Zhou family, no matter which one was chosen, it seems that there will be no difference.

On the surface, this matter has nothing to do with the red seven of the red family.

However, at this time, a person from the Hong family came to the family, but the birthday of the daughter of the pirate king, who was thousands of miles away, was involved with Hong Qi.

Hong Qi was very surprised when he saw someone coming.

"Sister Yue'er!"

The person who came turned out to be Jiang Mingyue, Jiang Mingyue of Osmanthus Town, which has the same name as Hong Qi. is still the beautiful girl in the Jiangnan town, but between her expressions, she is a little more melancholy, and she is a little more resolute, and she looks much more mature than before, and because of the journey, she looks a little haggard, and her face is still a little abnormally flushed.

As soon as Jiang Mingyue saw Hong Qi, she grabbed Hong Qi's hand tightly.

"Sister Mingyue, Brother Gu, he, he ......"

Before she could finish a sentence, she fell. Hong Qi hurriedly asked the doctor to come over, and learned that Jiang Mingyue was infected with the wind cold, she was originally young and had a good foundation, but now it is the season of spring flowers, as long as she rests well, it should not be difficult. But she is about to support the sick body, has been in a hurry, now the disease is in the heart, and then to be treated, it is not so simple, while talking about the doctor is sighing, this disease is cured, but I am afraid that it will also fall to the root of the disease.

Hong Qi thanked the doctor, thought about it, and asked someone to go to the Zhenbei Wangfu to borrow the imperial doctor from their medical hall. The imperial doctor of the Zhenbei Wangfu said something similar to the doctor, but the tone was much more bullish. As long as this girl is willing to cooperate with the treatment, she will definitely be able to raise her the same as before, no, even better than before. The Imperial Doctor's chest clanged. He has done this thing, are you afraid that you won't be able to apply for funding when you go back? Wind chill may be a problem for others, for him, small meaning.

When Hong Qi heard this, he smiled, and asked the imperial doctor to prescribe medicine for Jiang Mingyue, regardless of the price, as long as it was good for her health.

Although the time in Osmanthus Town is not too long, but after living two lifetimes, it is really the most relaxed and comfortable life there, for the people there, Red Seven has a special feeling, although it is not deeper than the Red family, but to be able to help them, Red Seven will definitely not be stingy.

What's more, Jiang Mingyue traveled thousands of miles, or did she come to tell her Gu Fei's message?

Gu Fei seemed to have escaped.

Hong Qi's heart that has been hanging has also let go of some of it, as long as the person is still there, no matter how difficult other problems are, there is always a way to solve them.

Jiang Mingyue was in a coma for two days, and on the third day, the fever came down and the person woke up. As soon as she woke up, she couldn't wait to find Hongqi and told her all of them.

Hong Qi knew what had happened in Osmanthus Town.

The pirates invaded Osmanthus Town, and originally with the skills of the old lady and the old county lord, if they were bent on escaping, they could leave. But the two old men left first in order to protect the people of Osmanthus Town, and some people stayed behind. It's just that there were too many pirates, there were too few of them, and in the end the crowd was all washed away.

Jiang Mingyue escaped under the protection of the two old men, but the two old men were also seriously injured. Gu Fei was already on his way to Beijing. Jiang Mingyue knew how to ride a horse, so she volunteered to chase Gu Fei, and finally chased Gu Fei back at the ferry and saw the two old men for the last time.

The two old men died, and the town of Osmanthus was finally destroyed, and when they returned, they only saw a ruin, and there was no one left.

Later, she and Gu Fei wandered around.

Gu Fei followed the footsteps of the pirates, and when he encountered a small group of pirates, he killed them, and kept killing. Then, one day, they met Uncle Wang, who was also one of the people who survived in Osmanthus Town, and he knew more, saying that it was the pirate king Chen Sheng's subordinates who slaughtered Osmanthus Town.

Then, when she woke up one day, Jiang Mingyue found that Gu Fei was gone.

She knew that he must have gone to Chen Sheng to take revenge.

Jiang Mingyue didn't know what to do, she wanted to find Gu Fei, but she knew that even if she found Gu Fei, she wouldn't be able to help much, and would only become a burden to him. But she is very worried about Gu Fei, the pirate king Chen Sheng is the biggest pirate, it is said that there are tens of thousands of pirates under his command, such a big pirate, Gu Fei will kill one by one, when will he be killed? Maybe you'll be killed by someone else at some point.

By this time, Jiang Mingyue didn't want to take revenge.

She has lost too much, relatives, sisters, neighbors, friends, and now, she only hopes that Gu Fei, who is dependent on her, will be fine.

But Gu Fei would not listen to her persuasion, Jiang Mingyue knew.

What should she do?

In the confusion, Jiang Mingyue returned to the place she was familiar with, back to Osmanthus Town. There, Jiang Mingyue saw the message left by Song Shi.

The message was like a light in the night, pointing her in the right direction.

Jiang Mingyue came all the way to Zhenbei City, found the Hong family, and found Red Qi.

She couldn't persuade Gu Fei.

Red Seven is definitely okay.

Jiang Mingyue believes so.

She gripped Hong Qi's hand tightly, as if grasping the last straw.

Hong Qi did not live up to Jiang Mingyue's expectations, she nodded to Jiang Mingyue. "Don't worry, I will definitely find Gu Fei." Red Seven promised, hearing Red Qi's promise, Jiang Mingyue smiled and fell into a coma again. She was so tired, tired a long, long time ago.
