After the death of Princess Hengyang, the Chai family lost its backbone, but as a group, the "Chai family" did not dissipate, and often got together to discuss one thing: Who can be the emperor? How should the Chai family stabilize their position?

The crowd unanimously came to several conclusions:

Champion Hou has the best relationship with the Chai family, but seeing that he is losing power, he is afraid that the future is not good, so he can continue to observe and provide some small help, and at the same time, he has to prepare for the back road, and he can't just support him.

Tired Hou, the King of the East China Sea and the Chai family all have enmities, if Princess Hengyang is still alive, things will be very difficult, now that she has ascended to heaven, no matter how big the grudge is, she can find a way to resolve it, but which of these two people is more worthy of support is still controversial.

The British crown did not consider it.

There are many relatives and friends of the Chai family, and the tentacles are all over the nobles and ministers of the court, and the news is well-informed and mixed, and countless rumors are thrown into the Chai family's cauldron like ingredients and spices, and after some boiling, a new rumor with a rich fragrance is formed.

The latest rumor is that the Marquis has sneaked back to the capital and will continue to compete for the throne.

The Chai family was shocked by this, and couldn't guess what kind of impact this would have on the situation in the capital.

Hearing that the champion Hou and the king of the East China Sea were ready to "do great things", the Chai family still sent people to help, and several noble followers around the champion Hou, and several torturers inside and outside the palace of the king of the East China Sea were all from the Chai family, and they reported the news at any time.

The news of the poisoning of the champion Hou came first, and the dozens of people who gathered at Chai's house who stayed awake all night and drank to drown their sorrows were surprised, how could they never imagine that the champion Hou was defeated so miserably and easily, and no one refused to admit that he had high hopes for the orphan of the prince, and it didn't matter who poisoned him, and no one cared.

Xiao Coin is the nephew of Xiao Sheng, Zuocha Yushi, who once led a group of people in Broken Iron City to try to force Chai Yue to commit suicide, and was locked up for a while before being released back to the capital, at this time he grabbed his wine glass, took a big sip, staggered to his feet, and looked at the entire hall.

Five tables were placed in the hall, and seventy or eighty people sat together, drinking wine for nearly a day, and the excitement had passed, and they were only full of sorrow and confusion.

Looking around, Xiao Yuan can't see the leader, Hengyang Hou has never been the head of this group of people, among his sons, only Chai Zhi has some ability, but he has died in the Broken Iron City, the other descendants are not worth mentioning, there are many relatives who are not surnamed Chai, but they have no opinions, Xiao Yuan can't even look down on his brother, driven by the strength of wine, he decided to come forward.

"Hey!" Xiao Coin shouted, attracting everyone's attention, "You all ...... Listen to me, Champion Hou died, why did he die? Because of him...... He didn't pay attention to the Chai family, and he didn't call us, so he went to seize the throne himself, and the result was ...... He's dead. ”

"Yes, that's right." Everyone raised their glasses and cheered, but no one could drink it, and the wine was spilled all over the ground.

"And the King of the East China Sea and the Tired Marquis." Xiao Coin was encouraged, and suddenly raised his voice, "I'll just ask you one thing, who is more likely to forgive the Chai family?" Tired Marquis, or King of the East China Sea? ”

"The King of the East China Sea killed Chai Zhi, but we didn't seek revenge on him." It was said.

Without waiting for Xiao Coin to speak, another person at the same table retorted: "The King of the East China Sea may not think so, since he returned to Beijing, the Chai family has never visited, and he must have thought that he was hated by the Chai family." ”

Xiao Coin overpowered this person in a higher voice, "How did the King of the East China Sea repay the revenge, I can see it, Zhang Yanghao and they are still locked up in Broken Iron City." ”

In the Xungui camp, the king of the East China Sea and Cui Teng bullied Zhang Yanghao and others, and many of the sons and daughters of the nobles all saw it, and the decision to imprison Zhang Yanghao was the decision of the tired marquis, and it was also counted on the head of the king of the East China Sea at this time.

"Then only the tired marquis remains, but the Chai family has repeatedly sought revenge on him, can he forgive?" Another said.

"There's Chai Yue." Xiao Coin almost shouted out the name, and he didn't feel that there was a grudge between him and Chai Yue at all, "After all, he is the son of the Marquis of Hengyang, and he is also a cronie of the Marquis of Tired, what kind of enmity can't be separated?" ”

"Yes, yes." The Chai family was excited, they used to ignore the concubine of the Chai family, and they were all the same as Xiao Yuan, they didn't feel that they had treated him badly, but felt that Chai Yue should be on the side of the Chai family.

"Support the tired Hou." "How to support?" "Where is the Tired Prince?"

Xiao Coin didn't know that his decisiveness had ended here, and his strength had gone down a little, his mind was groggy, and he sat down and stared blankly at the leftovers on the table.

There was silence in the hall.

A housekeeper from Chai Mansion ran in and said a few words in the master's ear, Hengyang Hou's face changed, he got up to speak, his voice trembled slightly, "The news I just got, Shengshang...... The Holy One may have died. ”

The awake half of them all stood up, and the table toppled over the chairs, and the sound woke the other half of the sleepers.

"What's going on?"

"Death."

"Who died?"

"Who else?"

"Who succeeded to the throne?"

"It's definitely not the king of the East China Sea, he's still in the palace."

"That's tiredness?"

"It's him, it can only be him."

The Chai family couldn't tell the difference between imagination and reality, and soon, everyone thought that the tired marquis had been or was about to become the emperor, and they didn't know who shouted, "Go and support the tired marquis!" ”

The people in the hall flocked out, for fear of being one step slower than others.

It didn't take long for the hall to be empty, only Hengyang Hou and the housekeeper were left, dumbfounded and at a loss, and the housekeeper muttered: "It's just that it may die, and it's ...... And ......"

Hengyang Hou said blankly: "Oh my God, the Chai family is going to be wiped out." ”

Seventy or eighty members of the Chai family called their respective servants, and more than two hundred people rushed out of the Chai Mansion and went straight to the imperial city.

Rumors always run faster, many relatives and friends of the Chai family, as well as more people who have nothing to do with each other, come in from all directions, and some ministers give up their wait-and-see posture, and they do not show up, but also send their sons and nephews to help.

When they were about to arrive at the south gate of the imperial city, the ranks of the Chai family had increased to four or five hundred people, shouting all the way, no one knew what to do, they thought that the big event had been decided, and they only needed to cheer.

A group of scholars stopped the men.

The scholars in the capital had been gathering outside the south gate for several days, petitioning the imperial court to immediately send troops to fight against the Xiongnu, during which some were captured by the camp of the guards, and as a result, more people were summoned, and Shangguan Sheng had other things to do, so he simply ignored them.

After kneeling on the bluestone slab for a few days, the scholars were already exhausted, and there were also rumors among them, one would say that the tired marquis was about to become emperor, and the first thing after ascending the throne was to accept their petition, and the other time said that the queen mother was furious, and soon the blood of the Su guard cavalry would be splashed at the south gate.

The rumors of the Chai family arrived one step ahead of others, fused with the rumors of the scholars, and the Tihou was even more conclusive in his claim to be the emperor.

But after all, a reader is a reader, and even when his mind is at his most confused, he still has etiquette in his heart.

"The tired marquis once went out of the capital, which means that he has given up the fight for the throne." A reader shouted loudly.

The crowd on the street fell silent for a moment, wondering why they had ignored such an obvious fact.

The scholar immediately added: "But the tired marquis doesn't need to fight for the throne at all, he is the eldest son of Emperor Huan, he was originally the emperor, and he was mistaken by the traitors and was forced to abdicate." The successor emperor is the orphan of Prince Yong, Prince Yong was abolished by Emperor Wu, and the order of Emperor Wu cannot be changed. Today, the saint is still a tired marquis, and he returned to Beijing to set things right, not to fight for the throne! ”

Everyone suddenly brightened up, and no one said a word when the tired marquis was deposed, but now they are all filled with righteous indignation, "Yes, the tired marquis was originally the emperor." "Why let the Tired Marquis abdicate? What is the principle of heaven? ”

The crowd outside the south gate of the palace soon exceeded a thousand people, and the gates of the major ministries and divisions in the vicinity were closed, and no one dared to come out to meddle in their affairs.

On the walls of the palace, the guards were on standby, but they did not come down to disperse the crowd.

A third group of people arrived later.

Xiao Sheng and Shen Mingzhi had no way out, with the military talisman, they didn't know which side to go to, Yang Feng pointed out a clear way for them, "Only the Tired Hou is the general trend, and only the Tired Hou can understand the hardships of the two adults." ”

"Really?" Xiao Sheng and Shen Mingzhi once had a conflict with the tired marquis, and they were very worried in their hearts.

"Even the Chai family can forgive."

Han Ruzi gave a funeral to Princess Hengyang and met with the champion Hou in Chai Mansion, all of which were regarded as symbols of reconciliation between the Tired Hou and the Chai family.

Xiao Sheng only had one question left, "Did the Tired Marquis really sneak back into the city?" ”

Yang Feng smiled slightly, "Who do you think the two adults are running around in the middle of the night for?" ”

Xiao Sheng and Shen Mingzhi are both treacherous people, if in normal times, they would never easily believe Yang Feng's words, but now, they are willing to accept any persuasion from anyone, as long as it is a road.

Yang Feng also took them outside the south gate of the palace.

Seeing so many people shouting for the tired marquis, Xiao Sheng and Shen Mingsheng did not hesitate anymore, ran to the front, held the talisman, and ordered the guards to open the door.

Of course, the Su Guards will not obey their orders because of the military talismans, but they are somewhat affected and are even more hesitant to be on the city walls.

Yang Feng dismounted, walked around in the crowd, nodded with acquaintances from time to time, there were scholars, and there were also Chai family members, and then he squeezed out of the crowd, got on the horse again, and left the south gate with the people who did not want to die, and went around the east gate.

No one noticed that Yang Feng had taken King Ying away.

Seeing the crowd, the King of England was excited for a while, but he was too sleepy and fell asleep in his arms.

The east gate was deserted, no one gathered, and a group of guards stood guard outside the gate, stopping the comer from a distance.

Yang Feng dismounted, greeted a eunuch, whispered a few words to this person, the eunuch with the help of a torch, glanced at the king, nodded, and ordered the soldiers to get out of the way, Yang Feng only took the king and the king to walk into the palace, and the others stayed outside.

It has been nearly four watches, and in the palace, the king of the East China Sea has not yet heard from the Tan family, and has only heard one bad news after another, and it seems that more and more people are turning to support Tihou, and no one knows where Tihou is now.

"Don't back down, don't back down, I can't back down this time." The king of the East China Sea once again imagined the scene after he ascended the throne, and finally mustered up the courage and said to the Tan brothers and the torturers: "Don't wait, set off to the north gate of the palace, where someone will answer." ”
