At this moment, in the capital city, the city is full of vegetarian food, and white flags are hung in front of the doors of thousands of households.

The north wind is terrible, and the huge capital seems to be white-headed overnight, and there is no longer the hustle and bustle of the past, but more silence and a sense of slaughter.

It has been two full days since the news of His Majesty's death of the Emperor returned to the capital, but everyone in the capital, from the civil and military officials to the peddlers and pawns, has not come back to their senses.

His Majesty the Emperor, who is wise and powerful, and invincible, how could he just leave like this? In an eventful season, having lost the protection of a generation of Tianjiao, how did the Fire Luo Kingdom face the iron hooves of the demon army? How to deal with the surrounding powers? In the blink of an eye, winter is coming!

In the inner courtyard of the deep palace, in front of the door of the Heart Cultivation Palace, the early morning sunlight is reflected on the smooth marble floor through the pattern of the window lattice, and this ray of light looks so pale and weak, without a trace of excess temperature.

Gongsun Zhiqing stood in front of this window lattice, silently staring at the dust rising up and down in the sun, and her mind seemed to fly outside the nine heavenly clouds.

"Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, please leave the capital quickly! The situation in Shangjing is tense, changing every minute, and it is not safe for you to stay in the palace. According to what the maidservant girl sees, Your Highness, you are friendly with the Marquis of Zhongyi, it is better to leave early and go to Stone City! ”

The one who spoke was Gongsun Zhiqing's personal maid Xiaocui, the two were like sisters, and they were not taboo when they spoke to each other.

Gongsun Zhiqing shook her head and said with a resolute face: "No! The main palace can't leave the capital yet. The father's bones are not cold, the demon army is looking at the tiger, and the capital must not be chaotic! And the holy funeral gift. Hongu is a must-see! ”

However, King Kang and King Tang are in trouble right now. They will definitely force the eldest princess to take a stand, no matter which side you offend. It's all a curse! Xiaocui said with a worried face.

Gongsun Zhiyan sneered: "Just with those two pieces of waste, you also want to get involved in the emperor's throne? No matter which of them gets the unification of the Fire Luo Kingdom, it is not a blessing for all the people! It's a pity that this palace is not a man's body, otherwise how can they have their share! ”

"Alas! Eldest princess, it would be nice if that loyal and righteous marquis was in Shangjing! With his wisdom and martial arts, he will be able to keep the princess safe! Xiao Cui said.

Gongsun Zhiqing thought of someone, and couldn't help but smile slightly at the corner of her mouth: "That's not necessarily!" The battle for imperial power cannot be solved by brute force, and even if that guy comes, it will be useless! What's more, he also has to pass through the northwest, but all heroes and heroes know how to judge the situation. At this time, it was a good opportunity for him to consolidate his strength and divide the territory, how could he choose this time to come to Beijing to catch up with this troubled water! ”

Seeing the eldest princess smiling, Xiao Cui was happy in her heart, and said casually: "Then do you think he won't come?" ”

Gongsun Zhiqing suddenly shook her head again and said, "That's not necessarily!" That man's brain is not normal, sometimes he is like a fool, and when everyone in the world thinks he will not come, he will come! I don't know. Hongu doesn't know! ”

"You want him to come, but you don't want him to come, and your heart is very entangled! Ha ha! Why don't you make a bet with you? Bet on him or not? When is coming? In Xiaocui's words, she guessed Gongsun Zhiqing's thoughts at the moment.

Gongsun Zhiqing smiled faintly. said: "Don't gamble! Hongu still hopes he doesn't come! When the mourning period of his father is over, the palace will naturally go to him! ”

At this time, a eunuch outside the hall said loudly: "Your Royal Highness, the eldest princess." King Kang led hundreds of civil and military officials to the Taihe Hall and asked Her Royal Highness the eldest princess to move. Let's go and talk about it! ”

Gongsun Zhiqing frowned slightly, and said lightly: "King Kang is really anxious. What time is this? You guys wait first, the palace needs to change clothes! ”

Xiao Cui bit her lip on the side, and the worry on her face added another three points.

Half an hour later, the eldest princess Gongsun Zhiqing dressed in a plain white palace dress and slowly moved to the Taihe Palace.

In front of the Taihe Palace, more than 200 officials came, standing in front of the palace one after another, most of them were civil servants, looking at this camp, it can be described as huge.

Gongsun Zhi glanced at it, these civil officials are all in the line of King Kang, led by the prince of the dynasty, Wen Zhengong, the old lady saw the eldest princess, nodded worriedly, and said hello.

Gongsun Zhiqing walked into the Taihe Palace, and as soon as she looked up, she saw the dragon chair that her father usually sat on, and she was sad for a while, and she couldn't help crying.

King Kang, who was also dressed in a white robe, stood on the left side under the dragon chair, and when he saw the eldest princess crying, his eyes suddenly moistened.

"Sister Huang, please mourn, take care of your body! We will definitely avenge the great revenge of the saints! King Kang said as he peeked at Gongsun Zhiqing's face.

Gongsun Zhiqing was sad, constantly weeping, and did not want to talk to King Kang.

"Imperial sister, imperial sister, please calm down! The king invited the imperial sister to come over because there was a major matter related to the fate of the country. King Kang said cautiously on the side.

Gongsun Zhiqing wiped her eyes and said lightly: "Say it!" ”

King Kang made a look, and Wen Zhengong, who was standing behind him, stepped forward, raised his voice an octave, and said loudly: "My Fire Country Empire is in an eventful autumn, internal and external difficulties, and the loss of Your Majesty, the four seas are heartbroken. However, the country cannot be without a king for a day, and a hundred ruins are waiting to be revived, and our courtiers hope that the royal family will elect a new emperor as soon as possible, lead the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and the people of the world to avenge our emperor and fight to the death with the demons! Please also ask Her Royal Highness the eldest princess to support! ”

After Wen Zhengong finished speaking, he bowed his head. When he bowed, all the civil and military officials behind him knelt on the ground, looking at Gongsun Zhiyan with blank eyes.

The eldest princess, Gongsun Zhiqing, said coldly: "It's an eventful autumn, my father's bones are not cold, you will set up a new monarch here, good, very good!" You ask this palace to support, and the palace asks you, which new emperor do I want to support? ”

Anyone could hear the resentment in Gongsun Zhiqing's tone, but the ministers didn't think they were wrong, the country can't be without a king for a day, and if a new monarch is established as soon as possible, the state apparatus can resume normal operation, which in their opinion, is also beneficial to the country, in contrast, the eldest princess's personal emotions are just a trivial matter.

Gong Wen Zhengong looked very reasonable, nodded, and said: "What the eldest princess said is true, the first emperor died young, and before the crown prince was established, I and other old ministers discussed, hoping that the eldest princess would support King Kang's accession to the throne." King Kang is young and promising, virtuous and filial, and the emperor was also appreciated when he was alive! The country of Huoluo has such a benevolent monarch, and it is inevitable that the country will be peaceful and peaceful, and the wind and rain will be smooth! Please also ask the eldest princess to put the national body first and support King Kang! ”

These words are righteous and stern, worthy of the three dynasties veteran Wen Zhengong, understated the four words of virtue and filial piety, and the image of King Kang's benevolence and filial piety is vividly and vividly revealed.

Gongsun Zhiyan glanced coldly at King Kang beside him, he held the intelligence agency of the Empire's Dark Department, of course he knew what kind of virtue this King Kang really was! If this kind of person is also worthy of being virtuous and filial, then all the men in the country of Huoluo can be called moral models.

The reason why these officials headed by Wen Zhengong supported King Kang was that in addition to King Kang's usual deliberate friendship, half of his thoughts were because King Kang was cowardly on the surface, and he usually admired Confucianism.

Only Gongsun Zhiqing has a bright heart, her cousin is cowardly on the surface, but in fact, she is ruthless and moody on the inside, and she is by no means a suitable candidate for Renjun.

"King Tang has arrived!" With the shouts of the eunuch on duty, a rustling of footsteps sounded in front of the hall, which was the unique sound of hard-soled military boots stepping on the floor of the hall.

Compared with King Kang, King Tang is burly, with heroic sword eyebrows, and he is obviously much more heroic in terms of appearance, he is wearing a white robe, wrapped in armor, and wearing a long sword at his waist, the cold light is shining, and the murderous spirit is surging.

There were also hundreds of generals who came to the palace with King Tang, all of them in white robes and armor, and everyone showed a look of resentment on their faces.

"Sister Huang, you arrived so early? What are you discussing? I don't wait for this king! As he spoke, Tang Wanglong walked straight over.

came with King Tang, of course, there was also the Generalissimo of the Golden Lion, who had always been a diehard loyalist of King Tang and followed him step by step.

When Gongsun Zhiyan saw King Tang go up to the palace with a sword, his brows immediately furrowed.

Tang Wang's face was arrogant, and he didn't pay attention to the dissatisfied eyes of the princess at all, but said loudly: "Gongsun Kang, you waste!" I don't want to avenge Your Majesty, but you still try to get into the big position, you are dreaming! "You, you are talking nonsense, why doesn't this king want to avenge His Majesty! You, what is your intention when you bring a sword to the temple? “

When King Kang saw his old enemy King Tang wearing a long sword at his waist and taking a group of generals to the palace in armor, he couldn't help but feel a little flustered in his heart, for fear that this reckless man would turn his face on the spot, and if he really started, he would have to suffer a big loss. "Haha! Don't be afraid! This king's sword is not for slashing you! With your guts, you also want to be an emperor? “

Tang Wang unabashedly mocked his opponent in person, causing the generals behind him to laugh.

Xiucai rebelled, and it didn't work out in three years! This group of powerless Wenchen hugging King Kang also wants to turn the sky upside down? This seems to be an extremely funny thing in the eyes of the generals.

In the past, His Majesty pressed, although there were fights between Wenchen and military generals, but on the whole they were relatively restrained, but now His Majesty is gone, according to the tradition of respecting strength on the Central Continent, the important weapon of the country, where can I get a group of Wenchen to control!

Gongsun Zhijing saw that King Tang was so arrogant and rude, and he was really much more annoying than King Nakang, so he stared at him coldly and said, "Little Tang Dou, what are you doing here?" “

This little Tang Dou shouted that Tang Wang was stunned, the two are cousins and brothers, and they have been playing together since childhood, and the name of this little Tang Dou is from that time.

I remember when I was a child, Gongsun Tang always followed behind Gongsun Zhiqing, like a little tail that couldn't be shaken off, and in a blink of an eye, both sisters and brothers grew up, one became the queen of darkness who was in charge of the national intelligence agency, and the other became a mighty prince with great achievements.
