Luoyang.

After the death of the old emperor Yuanhong, Zongzheng Temple immediately worked out a series of regulations with Qin Tianjian, and thought that it was most appropriate to bury His Majesty's dragon body in the imperial tomb three days later.

Although Yuan Hong's edict before his death stated that he would pass the throne to the third prince, Yuan Ke, did not choose to ascend the throne at such a time, but insisted on waiting until His Majesty's funeral was over.

Yuan Ke issued a decree in the name of the prince to send a national funeral, Luoyang was full of vegetarians, and the whole country mourned.

At the same time as the emperor's funeral was held, Luoyang, where the mountains and rains were coming, now had many unfamiliar faces, and there was a steady stream of people rushing to Luoyang.

The mansion of the eldest prince Yuanzhi has been crowded with people in recent days, and it almost has the meaning of stepping through the threshold.

Most of those people came with sad faces and full of confidence.

Outside the capital city of Luoyang, four armies were stationed in the four directions to defend the imperial city, and the number of them was about 20,000. However, the army that Zhao Kezhong transferred to the north came from these four troops, so the total number of the four armies is around 50,000. In addition, with the city defense army and the palace guard, the total number of troops in Luoyang exceeded 70,000.

Due to the suddenness of the old emperor's death, and the fact that the princes did not have the right to deploy troops from other places, the four armies around Luoyang became everyone's primary target.

As long as the military power is in hand, any words on paper will become nonsense.

On the surface, the permanent army in the capital is under the control of Taiwei Yuan Shuang, but in comparison, Yuan Shuang has no real power, so many times the subordinate personnel pay lip service to Yuan Shuang's orders and do not take them to heart.

The two major troops stationed in the east and west of the city have always been personally commanded by the general of the Zhu State, Yu Wentai, and the two troops in the south and north of the city are clearly commanded by the general Li Ji of the Zhu State, but everyone in the court knows that Li Ji and the royal family almost wear a pair of pants, so these two armies can be regarded as being personally commanded by Emperor Yuanhong.

Sun Bugui, the commander of the 5,000 city defense army, was also the emperor's confidant, but he was very close to the eldest prince Yuan Zhen.

And the palace guards, which were close to fifteen thousand, were the emperor's guards, and they only listened to the orders of the emperor or the prince.

The rest of the imperial armies were either stationed on the northern and southern borders or subordinate to the various vassal kings.

And because of Yuan Hong's measures to reduce the feudal domain during his reign, the private army of the feudal king who was not stationed on the border should not exceed 5,000. Great Wei now has a total of six vassal kings, so the total number of private troops does not exceed 30,000, which will not pose a hidden danger to the stability of the empire.

It can be seen that the rights of the Yuwen family are obvious to all in the court.

It's not that no one has reminded the emperor that the power of the Yuwen family endangers the stability of the empire, but Yuwentai's status and rights are all accumulated by him with his military exploits, which is understandable.

Yuwentai's ability to lead troops into battle is obvious to all, and his prestige in military achievements is very high, so even if Yuan Hong wants to deal with Yuwentai when he is alive, he has no way to start, so he can only be on guard.

Now that Yuan Hong is dead, Yuwentai and Li Ji have more and more tendencies to become "the target of the public", as long as they win the overall situation of either of them, they can be determined.

But Yu Wentai and Li Ji refused to see anyone since the emperor's death, as if they were determined not to get involved in this chaos.

The situation is still a secret, but it seems that it still favors the eldest prince Yuan Ke a little more.

After returning from Kangzhu City, as long as people who are not too stupid can realize that the third prince Yuan Ke, who has been acting in a low-key manner, is not as simple as it seems, so the Twelfth Prince Yuan Wei, the Eighth Prince Yuan Qi, and the Ninth Emperor Prince Yuan Ding all have the intention of forming an alliance with Yuan Ke to deal with Yuan Zhi together.

Because they know that if the boss ascends the throne and his character of retribution, none of them will survive.

The edict of the old emperor before his death has already indicated that the third child will be passed on, and their actions are famous.

In the future, when the third child ascends the throne, they may also be able to make a fortune from the dragon, no matter how you look at it, it is much better than sitting still.

In recent days, the court has been full of treacherous clouds and a soothing atmosphere.

On the one hand, the crowd was waiting for the day of the old emperor's burial, and on the other hand, they were planning the specific matters of the new emperor's accession to the throne.

The new emperor? Who is the new emperor? Give food for thought.

Since returning to Luoyang from Kangzhucheng, Ruan Shuisha has no intention of going out, and she never liked to stay at home for a long time, but she suddenly changed her mind, and at first it surprised the Ruan family.

Ruan Shuisha's father, Ruan Yi, thought that his daughter was frightened by the Shen situation after learning about what had happened to Qin Han and others, so he instructed his subordinates to try to change their tricks to make Ruan Shisha happy, and if there was a success, he would be rewarded with 1,000 taels of silver.

The heavy reward naturally made the descendants of the Ruan family excited, but after a long time, Ruan Shisha still only wanted to stay with Zhipei and didn't want to see others.

Now it coincides with the death of the old emperor, and there is tension in Luoyang City, and Ruan Yi has no intention of continuing to stare at his daughter, so he only asks Zhipei to accompany Ruan Shisha well.

Ruan Shisha, who has not been out of the house for a long time, is now hanging out with Zhipei in the back garden of his home.

It's late autumn, the grass and trees are withering, the water surface is silent, in fact, there is nothing worth seeing, and Ruan Shisha is just to walk around and relax.

In the eyes of outsiders, Ruan Shisha seems to be depressed. But in Zhipei's opinion, Miss is not only healthy, but also much more stable than before.

"Pei'er, what interesting objects have appeared in Nanmingfang recently?" Ruan Shisha asked as he walked.

Zhipei smiled when she heard this: "Miss, I haven't been out of the house with you every day recently, how do you know this?" ”

After listening to Zhipei's reminder, Ruan Shuisha remembered that he hadn't been out of the house for a long time.

During this period, Xu Xiujing came several times and wanted to accompany her to go out for a walk, but she politely refused.

Ruan Shuisha said slowly: "Pei'er, how long have we been coming back from Kangzhu City?" ”

Nguyen Shisha and Zhipei strolled to the garden pavilion and sat down, letting the autumn breeze blow her hair.

Zhipei, who was standing on the side, heard this: "Miss, it's been more than two months. ”

Ruan Shuisha looked at the withered lotus leaves in the pond, and felt a little sad for no reason.

Zhipei felt that her young lady was a little strange today, so she asked, "Miss, what's wrong with you?" ”

Ruan Shuiyan said: "It's nothing, I just feel that time flies so fast." Pei'er, let's go out for a walk in the afternoon. ”

"Miss, have you forgotten the master's explanation? Recently, there has been chaos in the city, and the lord let you stay at home with peace of mind. Miss, if you have anything you want to eat or play, tell me, and I will tell them to buy it for you. ”

Ruan Shuisha thought for a moment and then looked at Zhi Pei and said with a smile: "Pei'er, you help me go to Men'er Street to buy some snacks." ”

Hearing this, Zhi Pei looked at Ruan Shui Smoke with some surprise and said, "Miss, do you really want to eat those foods that people eat?" ”

Although Luoyang is the capital of the capital, there is also a gap between the rich and the poor.

The poorer the poorer, the lower their status.

In Luoyang, where the big people grabbed a lot of them, they were naturally not welcomed, so the people above deliberately set aside an area, and most of the poor people lived in that area.

Although the people on Men'er Street are all poor families, there have been examples of changing classes through hard study and then becoming officials in the court, but most of the later ones are reluctant to mention the unbearable experience on Men'er Street.

Once a person who is used to suffering gains power, most of the people around him will be happy for him, and they never ask for anything to return to the township.

There are a lot of people in Men'er Street, so there are more shops and clothes derived from it

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

There is food, housing and transportation.

Most of the people who rushed to Luoyang and did not have enough money were willing to stay in Men'er Street, because the price was cheap and the other was that there were all kinds of people from the three religions and nine streams, and it was also a distribution center for news.

The Ruan family is a first-class family in Luoyang, and Ruan Shisha can buy several shops on Men'er Street for what he eats on weekdays, so Zhipei will be surprised.

After Zhipei finished speaking, Ruan Shuisha smiled shyly: "When I was in Kangzhu City, I ate a lot of roadside snacks with Shen Jing, and I think the taste is very good, no worse than what the grandmothers make." ”

Zhi Pei saw that Miss was about to move, and it was not easy to disturb her interest, so she had to say: "Then Miss, you have to keep it secret for me, if Steward Zhao knows that I bought you those pickled foods, he will definitely scold me to death." ”

Ruan Shuisha opened his eyes and smiled: "Don't worry, Pei'er, I don't say that if you don't say Steward Zhao, they won't know." ”

Thinking that he could eat the food he had been thinking about for a long time in the afternoon, Ruan Shuisha felt that this bleak autumn scene had become a lot more colorful.

In fact, Zhi Pei has always felt that the change in his young lady is related to the swordsman named Shen Jing, although he has not taken Miss away for a long time, but it seems to have had a great impact on Miss.

Even though there was a storm in Luoyang City, Yu Wenyuan, who was hiding in the general's mansion, didn't seem to feel anything.

Nowadays, the most thing he does every day is reading, but in fact, it is just a tool to pass the time, which is really boring.

A few days ago, Xu Ci, who had been staying in the Weiyang Pavilion in Kangzhucheng, was urgently transferred back to Luoyang.

When Xu Ci came back, he also brought back a message about Shen Guo to Yu Wenyuan, Shen Guan has now left Dawei and gone to Nanliang, and it was Shen Guan personally notified by Song Wan.

Among his peers, Shen Guo is one of the few people who is admired by Yu Wenyuan.

The reason why Shen Guo left Yu Wenyuan was also clear, because there were many such people besides Shen Kuang. However, most of them didn't have the good fortune of Shen Jing, and they never needed a reason to kill people in the Heavenly Prison Division and the Earth Net.

Regarding the affairs in the court, Yu Wenyuan is naturally also paying attention, but his father doesn't seem to care.

Yu Wenyuan also asked his uncle Yu Wenlie about this, but his uncle didn't know either.

He had no right to intervene in the deployment of the army, but according to his understanding of his father, he was so calm that he was either really ready to sit idly by, or he had already taken care of everything.

In Yu Wenyuan's opinion, the latter is more likely.

Standing behind Yuan Zhen are the two families and three major clans led by Prime Minister Cui Hao. Cui Hao, who is the third prince and the head of the civil ministers, has never been a fuel-efficient lamp, and the fact that he can lead the compilation of national history alone proves his skill.

Therefore, Yu Wenyuan thought that there was only one thing that could be explained, that is, the arrangements for the four armies commanded by his father and General Li Ji, as well as the Miyagi Praetorian Guard, had been arranged.

Whether it is according to the edict or the most powerful Yuan Zhen, everything will be revealed in three days.

As the incident continued to ferment, the news of the emperor's death had spread to the entire Great Wei.

Except for the four vassal kings who needed to guard the border passes, the other two rushed back to Luoyang one after another under the banner of entering Beijing to mourn.

The two vassal kings are more or less related to Yuan Zhen, because it is reasonable that Yuan Zhen's power and status are the largest of all the princes.

It's just that what they never expected was that the emperor's dying edict would be passed on to the third prince Yuan Ke, which inevitably made the two vassal kings start to mumble in their hearts. If you follow the agreement to help Yuan Zhen, then I am afraid that the hat of a rebellion will be deducted.

And according to the news they received recently, it turned out that in addition to Fan Yang Lu's family, there seemed to be some shadows of the outer building behind the infamous Yuan Ke.
