Chapter 838: Pitch Black

After the screen was silent, the people sitting under it went home separately, as Guangqi Wangshu said, the war is over, they should return to their normal lives! The people in the Western Regions are no different from before, because everything is under the control of the world, and the people of the new world are the same, they only need to wait for arrangements, but some countries in the Eastern Regions have been shrouded in darkness.

Yamato

After listening to Guangqi Wangshu's words, Asuka Sakuramori unconsciously felt that someone was staring at her, and she did not turn around immediately, but subconsciously clenched the white blade of the Japanese sword in her hand. In the light of the fire beside her, Sakuramori's face showed a little anxiety.

How to deal with it now?Sakuramori's mind was blank, every second was very long, and the people behind her seemed to be waiting for her orders, as if they were waiting for a good show. Sakuramori, who was wearing light armor, had her short hair swaying when she turned around, and her heroic posture was a hope in the eyes of the people, but in the eyes of some courtiers, it was an obstacle.

Scanning everyone, Sakura said:

"Let's all go back. ”

Everyone made way for her and the guards behind her to get out of here, and every step of the long road was a trepidation, and Sakuramori was afraid that someone would say anything about the succession to the throne. She is a woman, and it is impossible to be a king in Yamato, but now, she is afraid that her father's inheritance will be destroyed in the hands of others.

The footsteps stepped on the ground, making a clear sound, and Sakura was so shocked that he could only disguise himself with a serious expression. When she slowed down and looked back at some courtiers, everyone bowed their heads under Ling Yan's gaze, as if they were hiding and surrendering. Is it because he is too sharp? Sakura always felt that someone was watching him, and it seemed that someone would attack him at any moment. Actually, it's not her problem, because things do. It was a pair of extremely menacing eyes, like a predator in the woods, trying to catch a lone prey.

Sakuramori, who returned to the palace, walked straight in one direction.

"Wait for me outside. ”

"Yes!"

After the guards stopped, they looked at each other, sighed and whispered:

"I'm afraid the status of the Asuka royal family is not guaranteed. ”

"Yes, all the capable people went to the battlefield, but I didn't expect that none of them could return. ”

"Her Royal Highness the princess can't be the king, who do you think the next monarch will be?"

"As it stands, I guess it's Asuka Orange. ”

"Him?"

The guard on the right spat out:

"If he becomes a king, no one will agree. ”

"No, if you think about it, he is one of the few orthodox royal families, and now there is no prince, only he can rightfully ascend to the throne. ”

"But the ministers won't support him, right?"

"Are you stupid, don't you understand after so many years by the side of General Huzhen? This is the emperor's business, many rebellious ministers and thieves will definitely take the opportunity to support him, and then elevate him, and extract his power little by little, that idiot must think that it is enough to be a monarch, and he doesn't care about other issues at all, understand?"

"Understood, I don't know what they're going to do with the princess and queen. ”

"The task of these 30 of us is to protect them, and no matter how the political situation changes, we must do our best to protect them until the last moment. ”

The guards looked at each other, then nodded firmly.

"No way!"

A sneer came from the room, causing the guards to shut up and stand upright.

"Women can't be in politics. ”

The mature woman's voice echoed in the ears of the guards, and they knew that it was the queen's voice, and it was Sakura Mori who spoke later.

"Why? What time is it now? The career that my father cares about the most in his life is the Yamato country, and now that he has died on the battlefield, I will not let others include the Yamato country in the bag, and now the Yamato country has no one who my father fancies. At present, no one in the royal family in the country can take on such a big responsibility!"

"This has nothing to do with you, being a princess, you are listening to the emperor's decree, Nachen Yan, you have a armor on your body, and you still have a sword, what kind of system!"

The queen was furious, and she scolded mercilessly, losing her usual gentleness, which made Sakura a little aggrieved. The latter glanced to the side with tears, she didn't want to quarrel with the queen mother, and she just wanted the queen mother to temporarily take the place of her father and make the country stable, but the queen didn't agree, the reason is very simple, women can't do politics!

"I can't accept it, are you willing to ruin your father's career?"

"This time the Yamato country is a lot of damage, but there are still ministers of the DPRK and China, and the result of their joint discussion will definitely not affect the Yamato country, on the contrary, if you forcibly intervene and disrupt political affairs, do you know what future generations will say about you? If the Yamato country prospers, it will be to push through the old and bring forth the new, and you will be arched as a heroine, but if it declines, you will become a sinner in the Yamato country, and I and your father and the emperor will also be implicated. ”

The queen's thinking is different from Sakuramori's, the former is rigid, and the latter has a big leap in thinking, so she can't unify opinions at all. Sakura Sheng also saw it, so he exhaled helplessly and said stupidly:

"Whatever you think, if you don't want to stand up as a queen, I'll come forward as a princess, in short, I won't give up Yamato. If you want to become a monarch, you must be approved by the whole court!"

"National affairs, no nonsense!"

Sakuramori finished saying and left, leaving the queen's words behind, and she could see that the queen mother would not agree with her idea anyway, so there was no need to talk nonsense.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, where are you going?"

"The Great Hall!"

The guards followed, watching Sakura all the way without saying a word. She walked with a sense of wind and anger in her demeanor. The queen didn't surprise them, she didn't do political affairs, she didn't ask about state affairs, and now it's normal that she didn't come forward according to Sakuramori's thoughts. But Sakura is much stronger than ever, and in the past eight days, she has not only watched a battle, but also grown a lot. Although I didn't participate in the war, I know what it means to be responsible!

After Sakuramori left, the queen called the guards.

"Send an order to the Minister General that Princess Sakuramori has no power. ”

"Yes!"

The queen looked in the direction Sakura had left and sighed long, and the latter entered the palace hall and said to the guards:

"Before my father left, I must have left a message with General Hu Chuan and Xue Liang, right?"

"Yes! The steel armor team has 30 elite soldiers and 20,000 troops, and can be mobilized by the princess at any time. ”

"Who is the army commander?"

Sakura Sheng walked in the empty hall, looking at the desk at the end of the hall, where her father corrected documents and discussed state affairs, she had seen countless times, but at this time, she felt particularly rusty and uncomfortable.

"Back to the princess, there is no army commander, only two people in charge. ”

"No army commander?"

Sakura turned his head and asked:

"What do you mean?"

"General Huchuan told us that if they did not return, there would be thieves and revolt, so they left the army to hide in Hudu, and this army was divided into two teams, and the captains of the two teams supervised each other, and no one could betray the Asuka royal family and go against the will of the monarch. As for the thirty of us, we are all in the palace at this time, and we are attentive to the princess and the queen. ”

"That's what Father meant?"

"Exactly!"

Sakura Sheng walked up the steps and stroked the desk, his father was really thoughtful and thoughtful.

"What else did my father say?"

"The monarch said that this act was auspicious, and the royal family that was taken away might not be able to return, and if so, he supported the Minister of Political Affairs, Zo Ximing, as the king. ”

In Yamato, others can disbelieve it, but the steel armor team is different. This is an elite unit of people hand-picked by Asuka Toragashi who have been guarding the safety of the palace for many years, and some have even witnessed Sakuramori grow from childhood to adulthood, and they are definitely trustworthy. So when Sakura heard this, he immediately said:

"Summons the Minister of Affairs. ”

"Princess, the Minister of Government is already on his way!"

Sakura nodded and stood beside the throne where Asuka Zhixin had sit, looking at the lonely hall. Red candles were lit on both sides of the main hall, but beyond the candlelight, it was all invisible darkness.

Soon, someone came in a hurry, but it was not the Minister of Politics.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, it's not good!"

"Say!"

Kneeling on one knee was one of the thirty elite soldiers of the Steel Armor Team, and he said breathlessly:

"The five ministers have entered the Asuka Orange Mansion!"

As for the Yamato royal family, except for Sakuramori, it is the purest Asuka Orange bloodline. I'm afraid that what the guards were worried about before is about to happen.

"Who are they?"

"The night was so dark that it was hard to tell. ”

Although Sakura Mori rarely asks about state affairs, she also knows that it is very likely that Asuka Orange will take the throne now, and as the princess of Yamato Province and the daughter of Asuka Zhixin, she must let the Minister of Political Affairs Saki Akira ascend to the throne of the monarch, and she cannot let those people succeed.

"Send all the troops to the palace and stand by, and if they want to ascend to the throne tomorrow, we will stop them. ”

"Yes!"

With that, the guards departed, and the Minister of Justice, who had the same hurried footsteps as him, walked into the main hall. He was sweating, but his face was calm, but he was slightly old.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, I heard that you are urgently summoning the old minister!"

As the Minister of Politics knelt down, Sakura walked quickly down the steps and held him up.

"Father wants you to be the monarch. ”

Sakuramori's sudden words made the Minister of Political Affairs stunned in place.

"Princess ......"

"Father expected that he might not be able to come back, so he asked you to take his place. ”

"This ......"

Even though the Minister of Political Affairs had a calm personality, he was still a little stunned at this time, he had never heard anything like this before.

"To tell you the truth, some courtiers want to make Asuka Orange the new monarch, but you know that he has an arrogant personality and does not want to make progress, and he has no imperial qualifications at all, and those courtiers respect him completely for their own selfish interests, what do you think?"

The Minister of Political Affairs, Zo Ximing, has assisted two generations of monarchs, and although he is old at this time, he can analyze things very comprehensively.

"Although the war is now over, the Yamato Kingdom is not under the jurisdiction of the world government, and in order to do a good job of defending against foreign enemies and cultivating new talents, it is indeed necessary for a monarch to mobilize the overall situation. Although the old minister is old, he can have clear eyes and can take on this great responsibility, but His Royal Highness the Princess, if there are many ministers on Asuka Orange's side, he will not be able to rank me in terms of qualifications. ”

This is what he is most worried about, as a retainer of the royal family, he is naturally willing to do his best, but if Asuka Orange has many supporters, even if there is a message from the previous king, it is not easy for him to become this monarch.

"Many ministers will still be on your side, and everyone understands the situation today. ”

"Hmm!"

Sakura looked outside the hall, a pair of Dai eyebrows slightly frowned, and their faces were like cherry blossoms in the wind, trembling and unyielding.

"This will be the darkest night in Yamato in recent years. ”

"Asuka Orange ......"

When the Minister of Political Affairs muttered, the boy with a beautiful girl in his arms came to mind, if such a boy was allowed to become a king, the villains under him would be extremely rampant, and this Yamato country would not be peaceful at all. Therefore, he will do his best to continue the life of Yamato and the country in his lifetime!

The Minister of Government stayed in the palace tonight, and then the army lay in the dark in the palace and protected it tightly. Sakura Sheng was able to walk alone in the palace, and before she knew it, she went to the room where Xing Zeyuan once lived, she pushed open the door, walked in, sat on the chair, and looked at the bed.

The former Xing Zeyuan was seriously injured and was lying on this bed, but now he doesn't know where he is......

"Xing Zeyuan, what do you think I should do?"

She has the heart to govern the country, but she has no ability to govern the country, she is a daughter, she has not been allowed to take care of political affairs since she was a child, and she is not allowed to discuss with the court, and now she has nothing but the title of this princess.

Sakura suddenly regretted that she shouldn't have been so obedient since she was a child, if she had changed since she was a child, she would probably know how to do political affairs now, or be familiar with martial arts, how could she not be as helpless as she is now. As he released his fragile emotions in the darkness, there was a sound outside the door, and Sakura frowned, and immediately said:

"Who?"
