The carriage creaked and the days went by page by page.

A few days later, Wang Xiaoming and the others crossed the mountains and finally saw Jiufeng Mountain.

The nine towering peaks are extremely steep, almost straight up and down, like nine giant swords connecting to the sky, unattainable and magnificent.

People who had never been to Jiufeng Mountain looked at these nine peaks in admiration.

And the legendary Iron Rope City is even more dazzling. It hangs high between nine mountain peaks, and below it is thousands of feet in the sky. Nine huge iron cables pulled it, and the clouds covered it, like a heavenly palace, beautiful.

Many of the birds flying around could only fly under this huge city, and they could not touch the edge of the city at all.

"What a high mountain! a heavenly city!" Zhang Jingjing jumped on the carriage excitedly, "I want to climb up!"

Wang Xiaohong blinked and said a little worriedly: "We definitely can't climb up, it's too high." ”

"There is a cloud cart over there, we can take the cloud cart up the mountain, and then walk along the chain bridge to the royal city. Mu Yusi said.

Nine huge, straight iron cables are natural bridges, not only can walk people, but also can run cars, which is why Emperor Taizu chose this place to build the city in the first place.

Ji Cuiyun sighed for a while, and then said slowly: "It is said that when Emperor Taizu first built a city here, he hoped that his people would always have benevolence, respect, morality, truth, goodness and beauty, so these nine peaks were named Yongren Peak, Yongyi Peak, Yongli Peak, Yongjing Peak, Yongdao Peak, Yongde Peak, Yongzhen Peak, Yongshan Peak, and Yongmei Peak. The land behind the nine mountains was also named Inju, Uiju, Reju, Gyeongju, Doju, Deokju, Jinju, Seonju, and Miju. ”

Mu Yusi nodded and said: "That's right, benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, respect, Taoism, virtue, truth, goodness, and beauty Kyushu are the original Kyushu of our country, and later the kings of the past dynasties continued to forge ahead, and there were three states of Shinshu, Yongzhou, and Enzhou, which are the existing twelve states in our country." ”

Ji Cuiyun said: "I heard that when Kyushu was first divided, there were nine great nobles in my country, and Emperor Taizu asked them to each occupy a state, known as the four princes and five marquis, and they will be eternal and noble. Among them, the one with the greatest credit is called the foreseeer, prophet, and national teacher, and his name is Mu Qianji, just like Sisi, you have the same surname. ”

Mu Yusi said with some embarrassment: "That's the ancestor." ”

"Ah, you are the descendant of the national teacher Mu Qianji, isn't that very remarkable?" Ji Cuiyun was surprised.

"No, the Mu family has long been in decline. There was a hint of gloom in the girl's eyes, and then she pointed to a mountain peak in the distance and said: "When my father was young, he was still the earl of Yongjingfeng, and he had three counties, but with the fiasco of the Battle of Pishan, the fief was cut again, and the title became a viscount. Now the fiefdom of the family, only that bare mountain is left, and there is nothing. If it weren't for the founding fathers of the country, the title would have to be reduced to a baron. ”

"Miss Mu of Viscount Mu Hong's family of Yongjingfeng, how about we talk alone?" Wang Xiaoming said suddenly.

"Okay. Mu Yusi nodded and got out of the carriage with Wang Xiaoming.

"I don't think you're telling the truth. Wang Xiaoming looked at the girl's eyes, "A daughter of a viscount who is not a spirit master, there is only one bare mountain in the family, no matter how beautiful she looks, no matter how prominent the history of the family is, she will not be proposed to marriage by an earl heir who is about to become a marquis, right?"

"That's because...... My mom is different. Mu Yusi said in a low voice.

It turned out that since Emperor Taizu set the capital in Tiesuo City and canonized the four dukes and five marquis for eternity, there was a serious hidden danger - the princes' land was too big, but the royal family had no land at all.

Emperor Taizu was fine when he was alive, but as soon as he died, the whole country almost collapsed. The power of the country was held by several major dukes and marquises, and the royal family was weakened. If it weren't for the princes checking and balancing each other, and no one would obey anyone, I'm afraid that the king of this country would have changed.

In later generations, several Zhongxing kings appeared in the Bohai Kingdom, taking back some power from the princes, but with the death of the famous monarch, the form was reversed again.

The wheel of history continues to move forward, and in this generation of kings, the power of the princes has once again reached its peak.

The five dukes, the five marquises, and two powerful earls have divided almost all the lands of the kingdom, and the first of the five dukes, the Grand Duke of Lomon, is bent on becoming the new king.

The children and grandchildren of the current king were all killed by Grand Duke Romong, and the Bohai royal family has no male heirs!

"The king's children and grandchildren are all dead, so who should inherit the throne?" asked Wang Xiaoming.

"There has never been a queen in the history of the Bohai Kingdom, so Grand Duke Luo Meng strongly demanded that the king's grandson inherit the throne!"

"Grandson succession?"

"That's right, the eldest son of the Grand Duke of Romon married the eldest princess Chen Jiamei, and the king's grandson is also his grandson. With all the male descendants of the royal family cut off, his claims are difficult to refute. ”

Wang Xiaoming couldn't help but admire: "This Grand Duke Luo Meng is really a good calculation!"

Mu Yusi said: "It's a pity that his wishful thinking failed. When the eldest princess found out that her brothers had been assassinated by the Grand Duke of Romón, she angrily killed her husband and son, and then committed suicide. The Luo family no longer has the king's grandson. ”

"It sounds very messy, but what does this have to do with you?" Wang Xiaoming asked.

Mu Yusi said: "Strictly speaking, my mother has more inheritance rights than the eldest princess. Because my grandfather was the king's crown prince during his lifetime, and my mother was the eldest daughter of the prince. ”

"That is, your mother is the king's eldest granddaughter?"

"That's right, but my mother doesn't have a son, and Princess Romon Zhang's grandson won't inherit her turn. But now that there are no male descendants in the royal family, once I give birth to a son, I will be a strong candidate for the heir to the kingdom. ”

"The son of the daughter of the king's granddaughter...... That's too far away, isn't it?

"There is no one in the royal family, and they have all been killed by Duke Romong. Only one of the king's daughters is still alive, Princess Jiarou, but she is not married and has no children. In the third generation, only my mother, Princess Yazhen, and my aunt, Princess Yaling, are still alive, and my aunt is not married and has no children. Whoever of us marries and has children is going to be an earthquake. ”

Wang Xiaoming said: "So, as the eldest daughter of the king's eldest granddaughter, you have a lot of suitors, and the descendants of the major dukes, marquises, and earls are all pursuing you?

"That's right. Mu Yusi nodded, "No matter who marries me, once a boy is born, he will be a strong candidate for the next king." ”

Wang Xiaoming frowned and said, "Then the crux of the problem is, whose child is the child in your belly?"

Mu Yusi's face turned red, and he slowly spit out two words: "Yours." ”

"I'm only eight years old and I'm going to be the emperor, is this worth it?" Wang Xiaoming muttered to himself.

originally thought it was just a matter of being a father, but who knew that in a blink of an eye, he would like to be the emperor. is not the stable Emperor, but the Emperor under the strong onlookers of the princes.

In other words, the Bohai Kingdom will be destroyed in another ten years, is this throne still meaningful? Even if the battle for the head is broken and bloody, will it be a floating cloud in the end?

After sorting out his thoughts, Wang Xiaoming said solemnly: "Aunt Sisi, your prank can be over, let's talk about some serious things." ”

"I'm serious. Mu Yusi blinked her big beautiful eyes, pointed to the mountain peak in the distance and said, "Our family's fiefdom has almost been cut away, and now there is only a bald mountain and the family castle left, which can't help you." But if it's convenient for you, you can come home with me, meet my mom and dad, and talk about our marriage. I will completely listen to you and obey any of your orders. ”

"Why are you marrying me, I'm only eight years old this year!" Wang Xiaoming frowned.

"Because...... I'm pregnant with your child. ”

"Stop!" Wang Xiaoming pulled his hair twice, "I'm becoming more and more like the leader of the cooking squad of the Green Forest Army Artillery Regiment, and I have to be a kindergarten principal." ”

"What do you mean?"

"Cuckold on the back of the black pot to watch others, and you have to raise children for others! My dear Aunt Sisi, your identity is so noble, this is not a cuckold for me, but a green hat for the whole country!"

Mu Yusi: "......"
