During the process of traveling south, the Queen Mother has been very nervous.

She was afraid that she would not be able to find Zhu Changzhe, and she was also afraid that the capital would be exposed. She was afraid that the emperor's body would not be able to stand it, and she was even more afraid that Zhu Changzhe was gone. She was also afraid that Kang Anbo would be unable to get out of the pinching of the Japanese and Zhu Changjue, and she was afraid that after Jiangnan got out of control, she would have to take out the last three holy decrees.

The Queen Mother hopes that the holy decree in her hand will be enough to use only the first one at most. Of course, it's best not to use any of them.

The Four Divine Decrees.

The first is to abolish the crown prince and establish King Zhe as the prince. The decree cleared King Zhe of his crimes, and counted the multiple sins of the current crown prince......

If there are variables in the capital, if the crown prince is disobedient, or if they succeed in finding Queen Zhe, this holy decree will be born.

The second decree is the proclamation of the direct transmission of the philosopher. All the Zhou troops in the world must listen to the orders of the new emperor, and violators will be punished for rebellion. Once the emperor has an accident, this holy decree will appear.

The third decree is to pass on the throne of the Nine Emperor Princes. If the emperor is gone, and it is confirmed that Zhu Changzhe is dead, then this holy decree will become a testament: the emperor appointed several highly respected ministers, especially repeatedly emphasized that he entrusted the Nine Emperors to Kang Anbo, and named Kang Anbo as the king of the East China Sea, handed over the power to mobilize troops in the entire Jiangnan to Kang Anbo, and asked him to assist the new emperor.

The emperor took great pains.

What he was afraid of was that when Kang Anbo heard the news of Zhu Changzhe's death, he would lose his thoughts and hope, and in order to protect the family, he would embark on the path planned by the enemy. He entrusted the Nine Emperor Princes to give Kang Anbo a hope to continue to prosper the family for a long time, in the hope that he could fight against Zhu Changjue and the Wakou with all his might.

And the Nine Emperors do not have a strong maternal family, which must be a temptation for Kang Anbo. In this way, as long as Kang Anbo can still carry it in Jiangnan, it is not easy for Zhu Changjue to succeed.

And the Nine Emperors are already thirteen, and they are already a slightly scheming young man, not a child who is ignorant and easy to become a puppet, so as long as the emperor plans properly, he is not too worried that Kang Anbo will be ambitious......

And the fourth holy decree is what Cheng Ziyu is unwilling to accept and has to accept.

If the situation continues to deteriorate, the emperor is dead, Bai Heng is reversed, Kang Anbo has an accident, the Nine Emperors can't afford it, and Li Chun escapes from the southwest safely, the throne will be Li Chun's!

In addition to being an edict to pass on the throne, this holy decree also clarified Li Chun's identity.

"There has always been this kind of conjecture in the market, so when I prove his identity one by one, and then the Queen Mother makes the decision for him, no one will question it. I owe him the affairs of the Li family, and after this holy decree, he can naturally rehabilitate the Li family. He has a better reputation among the people than any other prince, and if he is willing to come forward, he will surely have many supporters. And then there is prestige in his army......"

The emperor smiled meaningfully as he spoke.

"I can let him stay in every army in the southeast, northwest and northwest that day, the Jingwei, the personal guard, and the secret guard have his connections, and even in the Kang Anbo army last year, he also stood in the position of commander! As long as he raises his arms, it will be the largest gathering of troops. So which one is his opponent in the whole world? ”

The Emperor seemed eager to see that scene, and smiled a little proudly.

"Even if Bai Heng is reversed, what if he embraces Zhu Changan? I believe that as long as Li Chun gives an order, the old troops from the southwest to Kang Amber will be returned to him. As long as he is willing to go on a northern expedition, there will be chaos in Bai Heng's army.

At that time, as soon as the Northeast Army and the North Korean Army assemble again, Zhu Changan will have no way out at all! What's more, I believe in Bai Heng's loyalty. Bai Heng is a good general, and he also has a reputation for loyalty, he will not waste the righteousness of the monarch for Zhu Chang'an, nor will he compete with his colleagues! Therefore, I have always felt that Li Chun is the most suitable! In this way, under my nine springs, I can also be worthy of his mother......"

At that time, Cheng Ziyu's scalp was numb when he heard it.

How does she think, has the emperor made half a lifetime of efforts on the road of pushing Li Chun as emperor?

"Ziyu, if there is really a smoke of gunpowder, it is the best choice for you to come forward. Whether it is for the Great Zhou, the royal family, the court, the people, in order to avenge me, the people you have lost, everything you have lost, or for the survival of your family and industry, or for the sake of Li Chun's mother, this should be your choice. ”

Indeed, the emperor thought far. And this is also the reason why Cheng Ziyu finally agreed.

But whether it is Cheng Ziyu or the Queen Mother, they naturally do not want the latter three holy decrees to appear. Because the circumstances corresponding to those three decrees are that the emperor is dead, and the relative situation is worse than the other.

In addition, the emperor also hand-wrote several other documents. Each counted the unspeakable crimes of King Jue, King An and the crown prince. At that time, the Queen Mother will cooperate with the holy decree according to the development of the situation, and publish the handwritten letter to the world.

In addition, the emperor wrote an impassioned alternate crusade by hand. He called on all people of insight in the world who were loyal to the imperial court and the Great Zhou to unite and overthrow the anti-king forces that colluded with foreign thieves and provoked wars......

After Cheng Ziyu proposed that he was willing to go south, the emperor immediately made several decisions.

Every move of the important ministers around him will definitely be watched, so in order to keep his hands, it is necessary to secretly carry out some plans. The emperor was already suspicious, but this time he was frightened by Father-in-law Yu and Tian Wanyi, and now Cheng Ziyu is one of the few people he is willing to fully believe.

Since she took the initiative to ask for help, since she was "imprisoned" by herself and had the opportunity to hide people's eyes, the emperor was moved.

He couldn't take care of Jiangnan, since he was going, he naturally had to arrange it in one go.

In order to stabilize Kang Anbo, the emperor also wrote a letter to him, asking Cheng Ziyu to find a way to hand over the letter to Kang Anbo after arriving in Jiangnan.

It is precisely because there are many tasks that they have a long way to go. It's not just about finding King Zhe, it's about working hard for the future of Da Zhou. It is precisely because of this that the emperor will give so many troops to them, and will let the queen mother follow the adventure.

The prestige of the Queen Mother is there, and the Queen Mother issued an edict, and no one dares or cannot question it.

The Queen Mother, as the existence of the highest ranking in the royal family, has the absolute right to speak, and Zhu Changjue is also a grandchild.

The emperor has had to put his personal life and death aside, but as long as the queen mother, the ancestor of the royal family, supports him, even if he dies, he can't be easily forced by those rebels! This is his pride, his persistence.

The four holy decrees are all handwritten by the emperor himself, plus the seal of the saint and the seal of the private seal of the clan. As long as it comes out, it is full of portions.

Whoever does not listen is a thief!

Whether he proclaimed himself emperor or ascended to the throne, he did not allow it......

The matter of the holy decree is only known to Cheng Ziyu and the Queen Mother.

In order to prevent goofs, most of the shipwrights operating on the ship are genuine.

With these outsiders there, they didn't dare to put the holy purpose on the ship, so they could only carry it with them. The pressure can be imagined.

Cheng Ziyu was tortured because of her pregnant belly, and the Queen Mother couldn't sleep well. Even in the eyes of the boatmen, this pair of bitter grandchildren is also absolutely pitiful......

The boat is very fast, and there are no waves along the way. On the fourth day, we arrived at Ludi Liaocheng.

Liaocheng is not a first-class port, and it is relatively safer to have fewer ships docked.

Here, they will rest and resupply for half a day.

There are more boats on the pier than expected, and the direction of the city is much more lively than expected.

And most of the ships are busy unloading.

It was the first time in a few days that the group had gone ashore.

The Queen Mother and Cheng Ziyu are still grandchildren, respectively "Mrs. Zhou" and "Mrs. Zhou". The chief of the guard is alias Jia Da, and his identity is the nephew of the old lady who is the second-in-command in the caravan. This time, the pair of ancestors and grandsons were stained with the light of Jia Dahe's caravan, and they went with the caravan to Jiangnan to join their relatives......

Stepping on land, Cheng Ziyu found some sense of solidity, and her stomach, which had been uncomfortable, finally quieted down.

Some of the guards walked around the city to find out the news, while others were busy procuring supplies. Ludi is close to Jiangnan to the south, and in case it is impossible to land easily at that time, we still have to try our best to prepare more supplies.

After Cheng Ziyu and the Queen Mother went ashore, they wanted to find a restaurant to eat fresh food, but they didn't want to, the restaurant was full.

Wei Chang also felt strange: "This is the best restaurant in the ten miles of the wharf, and each person gets one or two silver, how can it be so popular?" ”

The chief of the guard stuffed ten taels of silver into the shopkeeper, and after a quarter of an hour, they got a private seat by the window.

The four-person table, plus the imperial doctor dressed as a butler, happened to be sitting on one side.

The dishes were ordered by the imperial doctor, and they were all suitable for the Empress Dowager Cheng Ziyu.

And each dish is used by Wei Chang first.

From an outsider's point of view, this man in his thirties and forties should be the head of this family, who can see that the silver needle between his fingers is quickly turning to test the poison......

The dishes are very clean and the taste is good, Cheng Ziyu can move more than a dozen chopsticks for the first time in recent days without wanting to vomit.

The Queen Mother was so happy that she was only busy serving Cheng Ziyu vegetables.

"If you want to feel good, let's take the food box and buy a few more dishes, the weather is cold, and we won't be afraid of bad food for a day."

It's rare to be relaxed, and the Queen Mother also used a few more chopsticks.

But the atmosphere soon became delicate.

At the next table, two merchants were chatting.

"Really?"

"Really! We just came from Taihu Lake, and the whole of Jiangnan has spread all over the Yangtze River. The explosion that night came out, and the whole Jingxi shook the ground! To this day, I still don't know what happened! ”

As soon as he heard Jingxi, Cheng Ziyu's eyes tightened, and the hand holding the bamboo chopstick trembled slightly.

She raised her eyebrows and heard a deep breath from the Queen Mother.

Wei Chang's eyes narrowed, and he was just about to get up, but there was an extra river fish in the bowl in front of him.

"Eat! Eat clean! While Cheng Ziyu withdrew the bamboo chopstick, she also withdrew her cold eyes.

Wei Chang secretly glanced at the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother closed her eyes, so he could only eat fish with his head bored......

The voices of the two people at the adjacent table drifted into the ears along with the Queen Mother's slight sighs.

"How many people died?"

"Then who knows! The fire of the Cheng family burned for a day and two nights, not to mention people, I am afraid that there is nothing on the mountain. Dozens of lives, to say the least, right? But I heard that all the masters of the Cheng family were on the mountain at that time, and if the rumors were true, it would be hundreds of lives. ”

"So, the Cheng family, who has just soared...... Only...... Gone? ”

"Isn't it gone? I heard that Cheng Hui never let people go up the mountain in the future, so he probably hid a lot of old mud and formula treasures on the mountain. It's all now, it's all gone. ”

"I still don't understand, so who did it?"

"I don't know, some say it is Emperor Jue, and some say that it is the current emperor. Don't they all say that the Cheng family colluded with the Zhewang and the Wako? One theory is that the emperor wants to question the Cheng family, and the Cheng family is frightened. Afraid of being prosecuted for treason, he refused to follow the court, so he hid in the mountains and resisted stubbornly. The emperor was annoyed and simply set fire to the mountain. But it ignited the gunpowder.

There is also a theory that Emperor Jue wanted to arrest the Cheng family, first, to be the master of the people and eliminate the national thieves, and secondly, he may have arrested the Cheng family to force the county lord to confess. The Cheng family didn't comply, so they simply played with jade and burned it and lit gunpowder themselves. Of course, it is also possible that the gunpowder ignited by Emperor Jue's fire. ”

"Did you set the fire or explode first?"

"Who can tell the difference. I don't know. ”

"Where's the gunpowder?"

"His family opened mountains to practice mud, and the government allowed them to use gunpowder. And his family is still an official businessman, this thing is forbidden to us, it's nothing to them, right? ”

"What about the fire? How can you burn for that long? ”

"It is said that there is a kiln on the mountain, so there are a lot of media. There are many trees on the mountain, and this season, it will not be extinguished until it is burned through? ”

The two sighed as they spoke.

"By the way, I really don't believe that the Cheng family will make weapons for the Japanese to deal with our Da Zhou."

"Isn't it normal for a businessman to see money?"

"Don't be stupid. Did you forget that the Cheng family had done so many good deeds before? It was all thrown out for tens of thousands of taels. In previous years, my family's goods went to Zhejiang, and the mountain road was really not easy to walk. Thanks to the bridges and roads that the Cheng family funded and repaired, how much time did we save in doing business and how many dangers did we avoid? ”

"That's just as well. So you mean that Emperor Jue deliberately smeared the Cheng family, so he created the rumor of Cheng Ziyu and King Zhe? ”

"Our ship just returned from Taihu Lake five days ago, when we saw that the soldiers of the imperial court had just arrived in Jingxi, and they first surrounded the Cheng family's mansion and workshop, but they did not take anyone away.

The same is true of the workshop on the hill, which is in ruins. I saw a lot of officers and soldiers pulling there. Many people heard the official shouting 'help'. So I think it was definitely not the imperial court that persecuted the Cheng family in the middle of the night before. ”

"That's Emperor Jue, is it to discredit the imperial court?"

"I think so. Since ancient times, those people have been fighting for power, what can those people do? What is human life to them? It's a pity that those innocent, such a big explosion, burned for so long, where will there be a living mouth. ”

The two of them gasped and gasped, and their voices became quieter and quieter......

Cheng Ziyu was fixing his eyes viciously on Wei Chang.

Listening to the meaning of these two people's words, this incident should have happened seven or eight days ago.

In other words, it should have happened in the two days before and after she entered the cold palace. Sure enough, as guessed, Zhu Changjue took the Cheng family as soon as he made a move.

Even if there is a time difference, this matter has not yet reached the emperor's hands when they leave Beijing, but these few days...... She didn't believe these armor guards would know anything about it.

"You have to be calm, this is mourning...... Grandmother's meaning. ”

The Queen Mother took Cheng Ziyu's hand. "We received the news on the day we left Beijing. But you're not in good health, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it, so let Jia Da hide it, don't blame him......"

The Queen Mother couldn't go on. The news she received was that the Cheng family and the He family were gone.

Cheng Ziyu reacted lightly, put a chopstick dish in his mouth, and ate it slowly.

The Queen Mother nervously signaled to the imperial doctor to be ready to rescue at any time.

"Subordinates should be damned, this is ......"

"Don't do it in the future. No matter what happens in the future, I will be the first to know! The corners of Cheng Ziyu's lips hooked.

The Queen Mother, Jia Da and the imperial doctor stared at her for ten breaths, confirming that she was not stupid and crazy, and that she was normal and calm and in a good mood.

So......

"This ...... You can't arrange it, right? ”

Cheng Ziyu did not deny it.
