Although Hu Sizheng and others tried their best to conceal the news of Yuming's assassination, when they accompanied the eldest grandson Wujian to hold a memorial ceremony and returned to Beiping City, the news of King Zhou's assassination had already spread throughout the city. Even if the Zhou army posted a notice that the king of Zhou was only assassinated and seriously injured, not killed, at important places such as the palace of the king of Zhou, the city gate, and the palace, few people believed it. In particular, those surnames who witnessed what happened described the situation at the time of the assassination vividly, and no one could not believe it.

After learning of the incident, other officials, as well as the generals who were not at the scene, including the big families in the city, expressed their intention to visit the Zhou king's mansion, saying that they were very concerned about the Zhou king's injury.

However, several princesses, with the eldest grandson Wujian and Red Sleeves, all refused, saying that King Zhou was seriously injured and needed to recuperate, and could not meet guests. In this way, the rumors in the city that the king of Zhou had been assassinated, but several princesses united with some ministers and generals and did not dare to announce the facts.

In this case, Yu Cheng, who has not been paid attention to, asked Zhou Wangfu to announce Yuming's current true situation as Yuming's cousin. And threatened: If Yuming really has any strengths and weaknesses, he should set up Yuming's newborn son as the new king of Zhou, and then everyone assists him to complete the goal of sweeping away the princes of the Quartet, conquering the world, and rebuilding the Great Zhou.

Yu Cheng's declaration immediately attracted the attention of the surnames and officials in the city. Only then did everyone remember that Yuming was not a lonely person, he also had a family. Just because he's dead doesn't mean the heavens are falling. He can support his heir and lead the Zhou army to continue fighting.

And there are also scholars in the city who announced Yu Cheng's personal information, saying that he and Yu Ming are both grandsons of Xu Guogong Yushu of the Great Sui, and he is also a grandson, and his mother is the princess of Nanyang of the Great Sui.

Many people believe that if Yu Ming really dies, Yu Cheng is the best candidate for the heir of King Zhou.

"If it is now the prosperous era of the emperor when the former Sui Emperor Yang Jian was alive, it is natural that our beloved King Zhou can inherit the throne."

"But now the world is still divided, Li Yuan in Guanzhong, Du Fuwei in Jianghuai, Wang Shichong in Luoyang, and Xiao Mo in Jingxiang are all eyeing my Great Zhou. How can a newborn baby lead everyone to sweep away the princes of the Quartet? Lead the Zhou army to pacify the world? ”

"Therefore, Yu Chenggong is the most suitable candidate to inherit the throne of King Zhou!"

This proposition was jointly put forward by the Pei family, the Lu family, the Cui family, and the Zheng family of the Shandong Shi clan in the city, and was approved by many merchants. Even in the military and in the DPRK, there is a market for it. Yu Cheng's side also began to gather a group of supporters, and many people shouted for him and began to force the palace to the Zhou Palace.

……

"These days, almost every day, people come to King Zhou's Mansion to ask to visit your husband's injury, but we have blocked them back! But looking at this situation, it won't be long enough! The eldest grandson Wujian sat in the living room of the inner courtyard of King Zhou's mansion and said to a young brocade duke beside him.

This brocade-clothed duke was suddenly Yuming, and he was unharmed.

"It's okay, let them make trouble, I want to see who will go to Yucheng." Yu Ming smiled indifferently and said, "So that we can close the net!" ”

Yu Yuqing pouted at this time and said, "Brother, you are also eccentric!" I didn't even tell me that it was your stand-in who died that day, which caused me to cry for so long at the scene...... My eyes are swollen from crying! ”

"Ahem...... Cough...... I thought that you can't act, in case you don't show a sad expression on the spot, but laugh, wouldn't it be revealing? Yu Ming coughed dryly twice and said with an embarrassed face.

In fact, at that time, he was wearing a soldier's clothes and stood not far away and pretended to be a guard. Seeing Yu Yuqing so sad, he was also very emotional.

"That's it, Sister Yuqing, don't blame your brother! I, a person who knows the inside story, also used some mustard to barely squeeze out tears. Li Xiuning said in a round game: "Only Sister Red Sleeves and Sister Wuzhi are crying so much, people can't tell if they are fake crying, if I don't know the truth, I'm afraid I will be deceived by them." ”

When the eldest grandson Wujian heard Li Xiuning's praise, he also smiled shyly and said: "Sister Xiuning, I just forced myself to treat the body of the stand-in as my husband himself, so that I could cry so sadly." You see, when the memorial service was held, I didn't have a sad expression at all. Later, if it wasn't for Lord Hu reminding me, if I didn't show pain, people would see the flaws, and I would have broken a big deal! ”

"That's it! All right! Sisters, don't be modest. This assassination also exposed a lot of loopholes in the management of our army! Red Sleeves said with a stern face at this time: "We did an investigation afterwards, and the two assassins who were ambushed in the trees turned out to be in the past. They were supposed to be on duty in the city. The two teams that agreed to their shift change have both disappeared, making it impossible to determine whether they were coerced or originally from the Shandong Shi clan. It seems that the infiltration of the Shandong Shi clan into our army and the imperial court is more powerful than we imagined! ”

"Sister Red Sleeves, it's okay! This is the right time for us to take this opportunity to have a big purge! Get rid of all those hidden tumors! Yu Ming's eyes also showed a hint of fierceness, obviously Pei Ju's assassination made him angry.

At this moment, Zhang Zhongjian hurriedly entered the conference hall, and then bowed down and said, "King Zhou, several princesses, something is wrong!" Yu Cheng brought a large number of military generals who supported him, as well as officials in the court, as well as some scholars and merchants and surnames, and demanded that the princesses must come out to meet them immediately, otherwise they will come in! ”

"What? How dare Woo Seung do this? Should he have been in the Eastern Capital Yufu ten years ago? When Yu Yuqing heard this, he was furious. She immediately remembered the scene when Yu Cheng and Yu Jie and others bullied Yu Ming, who was still an illegitimate child at that time.

"I'm afraid it's hard to stop this time!" Zhang Zhongjian smiled bitterly: "If you block it again, it will really cause the anger of the soldiers and civilians in the city." Because the Zheng army had already launched an attack on our Great Zhou, Jindi Pass was also attacked. If the Jindi Pass is lost, the land of Huaibei will be exposed in front of Zheng Jun! ”

"Zheng Jun? Wang Shichong has such courage? Li Xiuning was stunned for a moment, but she quickly reacted, now that Wang Shichong's forces have all been taken over by Pei Ju, this Zheng Jun is afraid that it should be called Pei Jun.

"It seems that Bae In-ki should have sent the news back to Bae Ju, so Bae Ju cooperated with him and launched an attack on the border, forcing us to cede power to Woo Seung with external pressure. After all, in the case of an enemy attack, it would be ridiculous and generous to let a newborn baby serve as the Great Zhou Leader. The eldest grandson Wujian also sighed: "When the war comes, the husband always rushes to the front line to fight. If the soldiers on the front line know that the husband is dead, but there is no suitable person to inherit the throne, the army will definitely be unstable and defeated. ”

"Huh! Looks like it's time for a showdown with them! Yu Ming got up at this time and said, "Sister Red Sleeves, you just go out and answer them, let them come to the council room!" This should be the end of the matter! ”

"Husband, are you going to come out to see them now?" When Red Sleeves heard this, he said with some surprise.

"Of course not! I'm just asking you to insist on making Feng'er the successor. No matter how much they threaten, you all firmly disagree with letting Woo Seung take the throne. In this way, the Shandong Shi clan and Pei Renji and others will definitely not be able to sink their breath and launch a mutiny. "Yu Ming is colorful.

"Good! That's what we're doing! "The eldest grandson Wujian also knows that his husband has already arranged it, and after enduring it for so long, he should also raise his eyebrows.

After the couple finished discussing, the eldest grandson Wujian, Red Sleeves, Li Xiuning, Yang Luoqi and Yu Yuqing came to the conference hall.

At this time, Yu Cheng, Yu Xuan, Pei Jin, Cui Ting, Zheng Pu, Lu Zuo and others, surrounded by a large number of military officials, had already packed the conference hall.

Red Sleeves took a closer look and found that most of these military officials were middle- and low-level officials, and many of them were related to the Shandong Shi clan. Most of the possible defectors analyzed by her and a group of intelligence officers before coincided, and she was also relieved. At least there were no rebels among the high-ranking officials of Yuming, which was a relatively fortunate thing.

And Yu Cheng saw the eldest grandson Wuji, Red Sleeves, Li Xiuning, Yang Luoqi and other beautiful women like flowers and jades come out, and a trace of greed flashed in his eyes, for Yuming's several wives, he had long known that all of them were abnormally beautiful, especially Yang Luoqi, as early as seven years ago, when he was at the poetry competition, he was salivating. It's just that his identity is noble, and he doesn't look down on him at all. And later became Yuming's wife. With his status and status, where do he dare to think about it.

But the situation is very different today. Yuming, whom he hates and fears the most, has been assassinated, and his huge family business, army, and territory will all be inherited by his cousin. And his several wives will naturally have to be at his mercy in the future, and it is not impossible to include these beauties in the harem after he sits firmly in the position of King Zhou.

When Yu Cheng was dreaming, the eldest grandson Wujian was already glaring with apricot eyes: "Yu Cheng, Yu Xuan, you have instigated so many people to come to my door to make trouble!" If it weren't for my husband personally leading the army to Liaocheng, how could the two of you still be alive? He was killed by Dou Jiande a long time ago! ”

Yu Cheng and Yu Xuan suddenly looked a little embarrassed, the lives of the two of them were indeed saved by Yu Ming. Now that Yuming's bones are not cold, as cousins, they came to force other people's widows to hand over power, which is indeed a little unreasonable.
