In terms of flight speed, Yi Jiuxiao is slightly faster, but only a little, and he can go hand in hand with almost no deliberate reduction in speed.

The two kept a small distance, but it was still inconvenient to speak in the air, and the wind was too loud.

Flying day and night, just fly for two hours, and then land and rest for an hour.

After landing, meditate and pranayama to restore vitality and strength, and communicate and speak at the same time.

In addition, Yi Jiuxiao also had to take the opportunity to eat something, and what he ate was mortal wine and meat, and Qi Qingru was no stranger to this.

"Qingru, I came back to you just to discuss with you about being the emperor. ”

Yi Jiuxiao was thinking about Gyeongju City all the way, and he didn't know what to do after arriving in Gyeongju City.

Whether to continue to pretend to be the prince as the emperor, or to think of another way, you can only ask Ji Qi Qingru.

Now between the two, they no longer use the titles of deputy envoy and county lord, but call them by their names, which is very casual.

"Think of any way, we all went to Gyeongju City, there is no turning back, this emperor has to do it, and if he doesn't do it, he has to do it. ”

After finishing speaking, Qi Qingru gave Yi Jiuxiao a roll of his eyes.

"If you were asked to be the emperor of Wei, would you be willing?"

"No, I don't want to be an emperor, we just want to follow you. ”

Yi Jiuxiao couldn't figure out why Qi Qingru was reluctant to be this emperor, in his impression, being an emperor was something that many people dream of, both men and women.

He didn't do it himself, because the martial arts he cultivated were not suitable for sitting on the dragon chair, but he had to keep fighting and crusading.

In addition, he felt that he was not good at scheming and was not suitable to be an emperor.

"I prefer immortality, and I don't want to delay my cultivation because I am an emperor. ”

Qi Qingru's words are very clear, very straightforward, and the reasons are also very good, she is a cultivation genius and doesn't want to waste time as an emperor.

"It won't delay your cultivation, you are the emperor, I can help you fight in all directions. I am the emperor, can you help me fight in all directions?"

Yi Jiuxiao coaxed Qi Qingru and tried to persuade her.

"Do you want a woman to help you fight the world? You are the emperor, and I will help you manage the harem. ”

Qi Qingru wanted to cross-examine Yi Jiuxiao, but suddenly his face turned red.

Yi Jiuxiao didn't want to continue arguing, so he said: "We are humble to each other here, and the throne may not be our turn, this is just the queen's idea alone, and the royal elders may not be able to agree." ”

"If we can't get the throne, what should we do in Gyeongju?

"I have an agreement with the queen that if she can't be the emperor, she will have to give me two states. Our existing strength is too weak, and we may not have a chance of winning if we directly take Ningguo. ”

Why is it difficult to take Ning Guo, Yi Jiuxiao talked to Qi Qingru in detail.

After experiencing the war between the Feng family and the Li family, Yi Jiuxiao was deeply touched that although Ning was a small country, it also spanned thousands of miles.

His 500 people entered rashly, even if they were invincible, they couldn't hold the place they had captured, and they couldn't make up for the loss of troops, and in the end they were just passers-by on the land of Ningguo.

Five days later, the two came to the north of Gyeongju City, and in order not to attract attention, they fell far outside the city thirty miles away.

Looking at the bustling crowd on the post road, Yi Jiuxiao inquired a little and knew that the war was over, the Li family army led by the queen had entered the city, and all four gates of Gyeongju City were opened.

It's just that I don't know what the situation in the city is, and whether the queen can control the government.

For the sake of prudence, Yi Jiuxiao disguised Qi Qingru into a young man, and he disguised himself into a middle-aged man, hired a carriage, and quietly entered Gyeongju City.

After entering, not far from the imperial city in the center of the city, I found an inn to live in.

In the evening, Yi Jiuxiao walked out of the inn alone, walked through the streets and alleys, and arrived near Fu Xing's residence.

On the street corner opposite Fu Mansion, Yi Jiuxiao quietly observed the movements in Fu Xing's Mansion, if Fu Xing was fine, it meant that the queen had controlled the overall situation of the court.

Half an hour later, a carriage stopped in front of the Fu family, and a person walked out of the carriage, it was Fu Xing, the servant of the Fu Department.

It is estimated that he returned from the official office, how could Yi Jiuxiao miss this opportunity, and arrived at the gate of the Fu Mansion in three steps and two steps.

shouted at Fu Xing, who was about to enter the door: "Master Fu, I am the ninth master." ”

"Ninth Master", Fu Xing was excited, and quickly turned around to look at Yi Jiuxiao, but it didn't look like the Ninth Master he had seen, and he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.

"Master Fu, go in and talk, it's inconvenient here. ”

When he arrived in the Fu family's hall, Fu Xingping stepped back and asked, "Are you really the ninth master?"

"Of course. Yi Jiuxiao stretched out his hand on his face for a while, revealing the face of the prince, but he disappeared after two breaths.

"The minister Fu Xing sees His Highness, please give His Highness orders. Fu Xing knelt and kowtowed, and now he believed that standing in front of him was the Ninth Master.

"Don't be polite, please get up. Ten days ago, I went out for something, and when I returned to Gyeongju today, I happened to meet you, I wonder if the DPRK and China can be stable?"

"Back to Your Highness, everything is fine, five days ago, the queen led the army into Gyeongju City, and everything has returned to the queen's control. There are two major events going on in the DPRK and China, one is for Dazai to clean up the remnants of the feudal family, and the other is to prepare for the enthronement ceremony of His Highness. ”

"Let Cheng Guang clean up the remnants of the Feng family, haha~ Isn't Cheng Guang the remnants of the Feng family?"

Yi Jiuxiao laughed, and then said, "What is the date to prepare for my enthronement ceremony?"

"According to the calculation of the dean of the academy, the twenty-second day of this month is an auspicious day, and the queen has set a date, and there are still ten days to make urgent preparations for the academy and the Ministry of Engineering. ”

Yi Jiuxiao thought to himself, the matter of ascending the throne was so hasty, it seems that the queen is also afraid of long nights and dreams, since the overall situation has been decided now, let's go to see the queen.

But it is inconvenient to enter the palace, it is better to see Li Rui first, and after a little thought, he said: "Master Fu, accompany me to Lord Shang Shuli's house, and take your carriage." ”

Being able to share a car with the prince, Fu Xing is really flattered, he is just a waiter, and it is rare to see the prince once, let alone share a ride with the prince.

Yi Jiuxiao also had the intention of letting Fu Xing accompany him, he was not familiar with Gyeongju City, he didn't know where Li Rui's family was, and he didn't have a carriage or horse, so he could only let Fu Xing accompany him.

The two families are not far apart, and they arrived in a quarter of an hour, and Fu Xing seemed to be a frequent visitor to the Li family, so he entered the mansion directly without informing.

After entering the house, under the guidance of the steward, he came directly to the outer entrance of the inner hall study.

At this moment, Li Rui was standing in the study with his hands behind his back, facing the wall and pondering, still wearing court clothes, it seemed that he had just returned from the court.

Guan entered the room in advance and reported, and then Fu Xing and Yi Jiuxiao walked into the study, Li Rui looked at Fu Xing, and then looked at Yi Jiuxiao, but didn't recognize it.

He just thought it was Fu Xing who brought him over, and asked, "Fu Xing, who is this behind you?"

"Lord Hui, he is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Fu Xing was very surprised, Lord Shangshu couldn't recognize the prince.

"Oh~ you go back first. Li Rui was also taken aback, and pretended to be casual in an instant.

After Fu Xing went out, Li Rui spoke: "When did His Highness come back, your queen mother is anxious about this matter." ”

"I also just entered the city, and I happened to meet Fu Xing, so I asked him to take me to your house. ”

"It's just in time for you to come back, let's enter the palace now, how about seeing your mother?"

Seeing that Li Rui was asking eagerly, Yi Jiuxiao estimated that there must be something important to discuss, so he nodded and agreed.

So Li Rui immediately asked the porter to prepare a carriage and horses, and Yi Jiuxiao and Yi Jiuxiao each took a car to the imperial city.

Even if the dignitary is as powerful as Rui, after entering the imperial city, he still has to get off the bus and walk.

Wei is a big country, and the imperial city is also very large, and it took a quarter of an hour to reach the gate of the palace.

There are guards on duty at the entrance of the palace, and you can only enter after informing the queen.

The two waited at the gate of the palace for more than a quarter of an hour before being led by the chamberlain into a large hall in the palace.

Li Rong was already waiting in the hall, and after Yi Jiuxiao entered the hall, he gave her a deep salute: "Please say hello to the queen mother." ”

"It's good for you to come back, prince, I'm worried about this matter, fortunately you rushed back as scheduled, otherwise it would have been a big mistake!"

"What did the queen mother say?" Yi Jiuxiao was confused, didn't he already control the overall situation, could there be anything else.

Seeing that Yi Jiuxiao was puzzled, Li Rong elaborated on it.

It turned out that after entering the city, the ministers only saw the queen, but did not see the prince, so they became suspicious.

There were rumors that the prince died in battle, but there was no definite news, and now that the prince could not enter the city, it indirectly confirmed the rumors and deepened the doubts of the ministers.

Although Empress Li Rong explained that the crown prince went to Shizhou to deal with the change of defense of the defenders of Shizhou City.

But some ministers led by Dazai Chengguang did not believe it, but fortunately, the dean of the academy, Mingyu, testified that he had met the prince a few days ago, otherwise it would be really difficult to control.

In the battle between the Feng family and the Li family, Cheng Guang has always favored the Feng family, and he was unwilling to destroy the Feng family, so he deliberately embarrassed the queen and the Li family.

So Cheng Guang asked the prince to ascend the throne as soon as possible under the pretext that the country could not be without a king for a day.

Li Rong was not sure when Yi Jiuxiao would return, and it was difficult to determine the time of succession.

But he couldn't help Dazai's questioning and the suspicion of the ministers, so he could only set the enthronement ceremony on the twenty-second day of this month.

Time is tight and rushed, and if the prince does not appear during this period, the ceremony will not be carried out.

"What should we do next?"

Yi Jiuxiao is quite unfamiliar with the affairs of the government, and in his previous life, he was just a border general.

"You will live in the palace tonight, and tomorrow you will go up to the palace with me to meet the ministers, and you will also block the mouths of Cheng Guang and others. ”

"Living in the palace?"

Yi Jiuxiao asked, he was not mentally prepared at all, and he was not used to it.

"You are the crown prince, you are the future emperor, you are the master of this palace, where do you live if you don't live in the palace?"

The crown prince has a special palace as a residence in the palace, which is different from other princes.

The prince was allowed to live in the palace when he was young, but when he became an adult, he had to move out of the palace and was not allowed to continue living in the palace.

Li Rong knew that Yi Jiuxiao didn't understand, so he explained to him in detail, and also told him some court etiquette and rules of the Wei State.

In addition, he took out a crystal ball, which contained images of the principal officials of the DPRK and China.

Tomorrow in the court, if the crown prince can't recognize the main courtiers, then he will definitely be exposed.
