When Zhou Xiaocao returned home, he had a white silk on his left arm.

The death of Emperor Tianze caught everyone off guard. After discussing with Zhu Mao and Zhou Xiaocao, two "trustworthy people" who were designated by Emperor Tianze, the crown prince Liu Mingli decided to ask the other two trustworthy people first, that is, Master Chang and Lord Du. After the two adults were invited to the palace, they learned what had happened, and immediately made a decision to announce to the world that Emperor Tianze was in a great way!

Now, although Prince Gong is dead, Emperor Tianze is also gone. Liu Mingli and Liu Minghui, the difference in strength between each other is not too great. Moreover, since Liu Mingli has lived in the deep palace for a long time, how much strength he has, and who he interacts with on weekdays, as long as Liu Minghui wants to check, he will find out clearly. On the contrary, it would be a little difficult for Liu Minghui to know what hidden strength Liu Minghui has.

At this time, any conspiracy is useless, Mo Ruo with lightning speed, the death of Emperor Tianze announced to the world, three days after the national funeral, the crown prince justifiably ascended the throne and became the emperor, at least he took advantage of a great righteousness. Not to mention that you can immediately turn passive into active, it's not pure passivity, is it? If the secret is not mourned, the death of Emperor Tianze cannot be hidden from everyone, if Liu Minghui learns of the death of Emperor Tianze, I am afraid that he will take action immediately.

After all, Lord Du and Lord Chang have experienced many baptisms in the court, and they immediately discovered the most basic element of this matter, that is, to sit on the throne quickly without the slightest delay. No matter what he Liu Minghui does, it will be a rebellion, and he will not take advantage of the righteousness in the first place. Until that time. Except for those who have already gotten on his boat and can't get off, they will basically stand on Liu Mingli's side. At least it won't help Liu Minghui.

The battle for the throne sounds better. It is a fight for the future of the country. In fact, isn't it all for their own interests? In the eyes of outsiders, you are fighting back and forth, and in the end, isn't it your surname Liu who became the emperor? Regardless of whether this imperial brother is called Liu Mingli or Liu Minghui, in the eyes of these people, it is the same.

Those who followed one of the two men with all their hearts were the ones who tied their lives to their chariots. In addition, there are some wait-and-see people, and it is this part of the people who are fighting for it. It's okay if they don't help, as long as they don't help each other.

Several people discussed some details. Basically, Chang Ju and Master Du are saying that all of Zhu Mao's forces are in the palace, but this is also a guarantee that it is not. As for Zhou Xiaocao, although he has never experienced court fighting, he has seen too many novels and film and television dramas in his previous life, and he is also very familiar with these twists and turns in it.

After the discussion, Zhu Mao issued a notice. Explain to the whole world that our beloved Emperor Tianze has passed away! The national funeral lasted for three days, during which marriage was not allowed, and the Qinglou was closed for three days. Street vendors are not allowed to shout with their voices open when selling things, and so on and so forth, depending on the details. It is all predetermined, and officials in various places follow the precedents. In fact, these regulations are basically aimed at the capital. It's been more than three days since news arrived from other places, can you manage it?

After Zhou Xiaocao returned home. Sitting in a chair sullen. He knows that from today on, from now on, his fate is inseparable from Liu Mingli. Liu Mingli succeeded, he succeeded; Liu Mingli failed, his head was in a different place, and his whole family perished.

This feeling of the unknown in the future is really not what Zhou Xiaocao hopes. On the first day he came to this world, he made up his mind to be a leisurely rich man, far away from the rivers and lakes, escaping from the height of the temple, and having a beautiful wife and concubine.

But the reality caught him off guard.

He wanted to stay away from the rivers and lakes, but he accidentally got the most clever martial arts secret book in the world, "Seven Political Divine Skills", and became a master; He wanted to escape from the temple, but he accidentally cured the illness of the crown prince of the dynasty and was directly involved in this political torrent.

Alas, those who are unsatisfactory in life, eight out of ten-nine times!

Feng Yulan learned that Zhou Xiaocao was back, and immediately came over, but found Zhou Xiaocao sitting there sighing. I was about to ask clearly, but I saw the white silk on his arm again.

This is

Feng Yulan pointed at Bai Aya and asked, "Xianggong, what does this thing mean?" ”

Zhou Xiaocao glanced at her angrily and said, "Immortal, can you take one?" ”

When Feng Yulan heard this, she said in her heart Who is dead? Zhou Xiaocao's parents are long gone, otherwise he would not have been allowed to be the son-in-law of the Feng family, and he would not have been bullied by those clansmen. Could it be that the old patriarch is dead? It's not like that, those clansmen are very stammering with themselves now, expecting that they can arrange an easy and profitable place, the old patriarch in the past has already become the commander of the light pole, he is dead, and there are not many people who care, let alone Zhou Xiaocao?

Suddenly, a cold air rose from the bottom of Feng Yulan's heart, and she asked in surprise, "Is it my father?"

After all, Zhou Xiaocao is currently this elder. Zhou Xiaocao heard the words and said, "What nonsense? Father-in-law, his old man is very good, you still want to curse him as a daughter? Outrageous! This is the emperor's death, I am mourning the emperor, grandma, it's really unlucky! ”

Feng Yulan asked: "The emperor collapsed, and it is appropriate to mourn, but it is not enough to say bad luck, right?" ”

Zhou Xiaocao stood up, waved his hand and said, "What do you know?" The crown prince wants to be the emperor, and the king of Quang Binh also wants to be the emperor. Between these two cousins, I am afraid that there will be a fight soon. Unfortunately, your father-in-law and I, who are members of the princelings, want to help the prince defeat the king of Quang Binh. Tell me, is this bad luck? ”

Feng Yulan grabbed one of Zhou Xiaocao's arms and said gently: "In this matter, the concubine can't give any help to the princess. There is just one thing that Xianggong must understand, that is, no matter whether you succeed or fail, you are the heaven of this family! The concubine, as well as Sister Xia, and everyone in it, including those subordinates, we all live because of you, honor for one, and lose for one. Don't overthink it, no matter what you do or do, we will support you! ”

Zhou Xiaocao touched Feng Yulan's hairline, and a trace of firmness flashed in her eyes: "Hmm! The road, since I have chosen, I am sure to go to the end! ”

Far away in Cangzhou, after receiving the obituary issued by the imperial court, the prefect Xie Bingzhou dropped the teacup in his hand, and his face glowed a faint red due to excitement: "This will be a chance, the only chance!" ”

After Zheng Zheng's incident, Xie Bingzhou became estranged from those so-called close people, and did not establish a close relationship with any of his subordinates again. The only thing he can trust now is this daughter.

Xie Qiuyan saw his father's rare gaffe, frowned and asked, "Emperor Tianze died, why did my father say that this was an opportunity?" ”

When Xie Bingzhou's eyes looked at his daughter, there was a hint of affection, and he said: "Previously, after the incident with Zheng Zheng, although Guan Yin was later recovered unscathed, but after all, in Shangfeng's eyes, this is a mistake, a heavy mistake!" In the evaluation of officials, it is a stain! In addition, we also offended Prince Gong's mansion because of this, and my father was even able to clearly foresee that in the near future, my prefect would come to an end. Returning to my hometown will be my best end. ”

Look out the window, there, on the branches, there are already faint buds. Spring is still here.

Xie Bingzhou continued: "And now it's different! Prince Gong and Emperor Tianze died on the same day, this is our chance! I can only choose to side with the prince and then spare no effort to help him. Only if he succeeds can he keep our family! ”

Xie Qiuyan said: "But Dad, we are just a small prefect, and we are not qualified to go to the capital for funeral in person!" Besides, even if we go, we can see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in his busy schedule, can we explain the meaning of contribution? ”

Xie Bingzhou's eyes narrowed and said, "These, after meeting Zhou Xiaocao, will not be a problem!" ”

Xie Qiuyan gasped, unable to tell whether he was happy or worried, but a voice kept sounding in his head: "Finally, do you still have to face him" (to be continued......
