Chapter Forty-Three: She'll Come Back

When the news came back to Beiluo, Zhan Nianzheng was tidying up his clothes for the last time for himself and Xiao Ashu.

Somewhat suspicious of his ears, he asked again, and the messenger choked and repeated it with difficulty.

"The king's ship collided with a large cargo ship in the middle of the river, the ship was about to sink, and then there was a nameless fire, a boatload of people did not have time to escape, Her Majesty the Empress was also among them, we have been searching in the river for a long time, there is still no news, I am afraid that it is already a bad luck and a little ......" Speaking of the last messenger The guards were already crying in a low voice, and the empress died, which was a shocking disaster for Beiluo, even if he was a humble person, he felt the pain unbearable.

Shipwreck! Blaze! Everything points to disaster!

Zhan Nian's mind kept circling these words, they swayed back and forth, and he was dizzy and weak.

The little Ashu next to her is still young, she doesn't understand what death is, and she still complains in her heart that her imperial father is slow, and she won't be able to receive the mother emperor if it's too late.

After a long time, Zhan Nian spit out a few words with difficulty, "Prepare the boat!" ”

When he led his men and horses to the center of the river, it was already dawn, the twilight sky was full of clouds, and the wind and waves on the river were calm, as if nothing had happened here.

Zhan Nian stood at the bow of the boat and looked at the splendid glow in the sky, how beautiful, the beauty was dizzying, and the beauty was suffocating.

He clenched his fists and forced back the tears, he didn't believe that God would be so cruel, he didn't believe that fate was so ruthless, he wouldn't believe it! This is someone he can never wait for!

He turned his gaze back to the large cargo ship that caused the accident, and gently spat out a sentence, "Bring people over." ”

After yesterday's incident, a group of people on the cargo ship have been controlled and detained, and the owner of the ship who was brought up alone at this time also looked frightened. Originally, the ships should go their own way, and they have been walking this route for many years, and they have never made a mistake, but who knew that there was such a big disaster last night, he was just a small businessman, and he couldn't afford such a responsibility!

"Official, official, we are not from Beiluo, we are merchants from Nanyan!"

This is the last struggle, and the implication is that Beiluo has no right to dispose of the people of Nanyan, who expected, this has become a life-saving talisman.

When Zhan Nian heard this, he suddenly turned his head and stared at the trembling little businessman, his blood-red eyes like a beast out of the cage.

"It turned out to be Nanyan's spy!"

"Bring them all back and interrogate them severely!"

"You can't live and you can't die!"

"Those who tell the truth will be rewarded with all the corpses!"

As soon as the words fell, the guards mercilessly dragged the cargo ship boss down, no one would feel pity for these people, whether it was intentional or unintentional, this was a deep hatred for Beiluo!

There is a wrong, there is a debtor, it is best to find out the facts, and if you can't find out, someone will pay tribute to the innocent souls of Beiluo!

The boat was calm again, and Zhan Nian still stood at the bow of the boat, from morning to noon, from noon to evening, just refusing to leave. No one knew what he was thinking, and no one dared to ask, so he could only accompany him silently, sighing in his heart: Even if you are the queen, you are just a sad person at this moment.

At this time, a white object floated on the surface of the river, floating and sinking, subconsciously, Zhan Nian looked at it twice, and when the object floated closer, he hurriedly ordered someone to salvage it.

It was a string of shell wind chimes, and for a moment, Zhan Nian's heart ached, is this the string of wind chimes that Jin Yan said in the letter that he brought to Ashu?

If he could still force his grief to deal with the aftermath just now, now he couldn't help crying bitterly, "Ayan, my Ayan, I didn't even have time to call Ayan......"

"Ayan, I was wrong, it's all my fault, I should have accompanied you, I shouldn't have let you go!"

"Ayan, is this your punishment for me? Why are you so ruthless! ”

"Ayan, if I swear that I will never make you angry again, will you come back...... Will it come back......"

……

None of the surrounding officials and attendants dared to persuade them, let alone the queen, and even they didn't know how to face such a situation.

At this time, another ship slowly sailed over, and on the deck of the ship stood a young man dressed in a white robe with a silver silk dragon pattern, he stood with his hands in his hands, and looked at Zhan Nian without blinking.

Ying Qi thought to himself, he was in pain, was it as painful as when he was forced to leave Beiluo three years ago?

The fierce river breeze blew and blew in everyone's heart, which was destined to be an extraordinary spring and an extraordinary year.

******

The sudden death of the Empress Beiluo made people feel a shameful life, and also made Beiluo the focus of the land of Kyushu.

On this day, Zhan Nian led the ignorant little Ashu into the main hall and sat on the solemn and solemn throne.

The death of the empress, the wails of the officials, and the sorrow of the people. But the country cannot be without a king for a day, and the living must continue to live well.

The first to speak was Prime Minister Zhou, the head of the hundred officials.

"Queen, Beiluo suddenly encountered this difficulty, the whole country was shaken, and the people's hearts were inevitably scattered, at this critical juncture, it is still necessary to quickly support the queen daughter to inherit the throne, so as to stabilize the people's hearts and stabilize the society!"

"The little princess is young, we respectfully ask the queen to support the young master, hang the curtain and assist the government, and get through the difficulties of Beiluo together!"

"Please also ask the queen to mourn, Wanwang focuses on the overall situation and the people of Beiluo!"

These words are reasonable, and they are also everyone's heart, in today's situation, I am afraid that I can only choose this way, but Zhan Nian feels extremely harsh when he listens to those words!

Those mournings, the overall situation, and the people pierced his ears very painfully, and he closed his eyes for a moment, and when he opened them again, it was silent and cold.

"I disagree!"

Four simple words made everyone dumbfounded, disagree? Disagree with what? Why not? Is there a better option than this? Whether it is the only little princess to inherit the throne, or to respectfully ask the queen to help the young monarch, this is a natural thing.

"I don't agree with the establishment of a new king! Your Majesty's whereabouts are unknown, and the day when she will come back, she will now let the princess inherit the throne, do you want the princess to rebel against the king! ”

Hearing this, the court immediately burst into an uproar, it has been half a month, and there is no news, it is clear that there is no hope, everyone knows that Her Majesty the Empress has passed away, but now the Empress insists on saying that Her Majesty the Empress will come back?

Seeing that everyone turned their heads and refused to believe it, Zhan Nian slowly took out a string of wind chimes.

"Your Majesty used it to send us a message, and she said that she would come back!"

A string of wind chimes conveys the word, what is the word? Nonsense?! But the queen's appearance is clearly convinced, this ...... This queen is not overly grieved and stupid!

Everyone looked at each other, and some of them stood up to refute it.

"How does a string of wind chimes communicate? Your Majesty has passed away, and the queen grieves and understands us, but the queen can't deceive us with such deceitful words, let alone ignore the people of Beiluo because of the queen's selfishness! ”

The words were strong and righteous, and the facts were like this, but Zhan Nian didn't hear it, he stood up, slowly walked in front of this person, and asked very seriously: "Li Shangshu, you said that Your Majesty is dead and can't come back, right?" ”

Li Shangshu was upright in life, he didn't notice anything wrong with the queen's words, and still said firmly: "Yes!" ”

"Good!" Zhan Nian praised when he heard this, "What a loyal and courageous Li Shangshu!" ”

"Since Li Shangshu thinks that His Majesty has been sleeping at the bottom of the river for a long time and will never come back, in case His Majesty is too lonely, Li Shangshu will go to accompany His Majesty!"

"Someone! Send Li Shangshu on the road! ”

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were stunned by the sudden change and dissuaded the queen from acting like this.

In the face of everyone's kind words and persuasion, Zhan Nian sneered twice, and he said to Yang Zhongcheng and Jingpinghou, who were closest to him: "You two think so too? Then you two should go together, there are many people, and it will be more lively......"

The queen's words were commonplace, and in an instant, three ministers of humerus who were in important positions were dragged down and lost their lives.

At this time, everyone was in an uproar, accusing the queen of referring to the deer as a horse, such a careless disregard for human life, and there is no royal law!

Zhan Nian walked leisurely, only clapped his hands, and there were soldiers in full armor, holding swords and long knives to surround the hall.

"It seems that there are a lot of unbelievers, but fortunately I was prepared."

Zhan Nian returned to the throne and asked again: "Who else thinks that Her Majesty the Empress will not come back!" ”

This time, there was silence in the whole house, and no one spoke up.

Zhan Nian nodded and continued: "Pass on my decree, assign the three armies, and take turns to look for them in the river, including the fishermen next to them and the villages downstream, not to be missed inch by inch!" If you can't find it in one day, you will find it in January, if you can't find it in January, you will find it for a year, if you can't find it in a year, you will find a life, you will see people in life, and you will see ...... in death."

The last word Zhan Nian didn't say, but everyone understood what it meant.

Everyone sang a "promise" in unison, and finally made Zhan Nian nod with satisfaction, he took the ignorant little Ashu away, and said as he walked: "Ashu, the emperor will take you to make kites, and when your mother emperor comes back, we can go kite flying together." ”

When the Manchu Dynasty civil and military heard this, they looked at each other for a while, and they didn't know what to do at all, but they just thought silently in their hearts, the queen is crazy......

Later, they found out that the queen was not crazy, but a different person.

The former queen was virtuous and benevolent, he could persuade the empress when she was angry, he could help the empress when she was in difficulty, and he could resist when the empress was helpless!

The former queen was easy-going and smiling, the former queen was lenient and kind, and the former queen won the hearts of the people.

But this is all once, from this day on, the queen is a terrifying blood Shura, tyrannical and ruthless, cruel and ruthless, but they found themselves powerless to resist, I don't know when the queen is powerful, and she can cover the sky with one hand.

Above the court, everyone is in danger.

I'm afraid that no one will understand and understand that the death of one person will release the demon in the heart of another person, and this demon thinks, if she is gone, I will take care of you, what will happen in this world, if so, I will take you to the funeral with me!
