"The old slave estimates that the strength of this group of people should be stronger than back then." Grandpa Cui said in a low voice.

"I'm looking forward to it, I don't know how much those elders of the Wu Clan have grown?" The emperor asked coldly.

"Your Majesty, the old slave suspects that Prime Minister Qi has already crossed paths with these elders."

"You mean, Prime Minister Qi has joined forces with these elders?" The emperor frowned.

"Yes."

"Humph! I want to see how much strength the Wu clan has. Haven't you found a few old guys who disappeared with the Witch Emperor back then? ”

"No, these people seem to have disappeared into thin air."

"Hey! Fortunately, Sheng Lixin married the daughter of the Witch Emperor at that time, otherwise the Witch Emperor's lineage would be gone. The emperor sighed, when they were young, they had traveled all over Shangzhou and met a group of powerful Wu people, they were all people who lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests, never participated in the internal struggles of the Wu clan, and never interfered in worldly affairs, but they had many secrets.

It wasn't until the Witch Emperor was killed and Jiang Yuxian was brought out by the Heavenly Master that their identities were revealed, these people were originally prepared by the Witch Emperor for his daughter, but the Witch Emperor didn't expect that the Heavenly Master would actually change Jiang Yuxian's appearance and send it to Shang Zhou's capital.

And over the years, Jiang Yuxian has been surviving in the capital as an orphan, and has become a girlfriend with Lan Wen, when Sheng Lixin wanted to marry Yuxian, how many rumors and obstructions were encountered, only the emperor who was still the prince at that time was very supportive.

After marriage, they had a daughter, but the child died not long after, and finally Sheng Zhengye, the son of the Hou Mansion, Sheng Zhiyao's father.

"Your Majesty, maybe they will appear when the county lord and the county lord and Lu are there, after all, the Heavenly Master said that only the county lord has inherited the power of the Witch Emperor."

"Hey! Let's hope. The emperor sighed, the Wu people back then were not something he could recruit with a word, so although he temporarily suppressed the leaderless Wu clan by force, and also let him sit on the throne of the prince of Shang Zhou, but in the past few years, the strength of the Wu clan has also recovered, plus in recent years, many people have taken refuge in Xichu, these Wu people have become more and more rampant, he can't sit idly by, so he can only take some measures to deter these Wu people.

However, this time Prime Minister Qi suddenly mentioned the matter of the witch clan's holy medicine, which made him very strange, could it really be that these people had come to the capital as the Heavenly Master said?

Could it be that they are here to find Sheng Zhiyao?

Thinking of this possibility, the emperor's face became gloomy.

"Your Majesty, it's not too early, it's time to rest, the old slave will retire first." Cui Gonggong reminded in a low voice.

"Well, you can go down and rest too." The emperor waved his hand.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Grandpa Cui bowed and turned to leave.

The next day, the news that Feng Yuanchen was named King Chen spread in the court.

The news caused huge waves.

When the court and all the officials were talking about it, the emperor has not set up a prince over the years, and there is no prince to be crowned king, but now he suddenly canonized a grandson who has just returned to Beijing, which makes many ministers very puzzled.

"Your Majesty, although the grandson of Emperor Feng Yuanchen has military merits, he is only fifteen years old, and he still needs to be trained, and now Emperor and grandson of Feng Yuanchen have been named King Chen, is this against the system?" An older minister stepped forward and asked.

"Your Majesty, it doesn't matter whether Feng Yuanchen has military merits or not, the important thing is that he is not capable of suppressing the ministers at all, so the ministers implore His Majesty to withdraw the canonization." Another minister stepped forward and said.

"Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal."

"The minister also seconded the proposal."

For a while, the ministers were talking about their opinions.

The emperor's face was calm, and he didn't seem to be interested in the opposition of the ministers.

"I've made up my mind." He said four words indifferently, and when the ministers saw this, they didn't say more, "Since there are no other opinions, let's disperse, I'm tired and have to rest." The emperor waved his hand and said.

Seeing the emperor's resolute attitude, the ministers had no choice but to leave in a huff.

On the way out of the palace, all the ministers discussed, especially several ministers who were close to Prime Minister Qi were very puzzled, but because of the emperor's power, they didn't dare to show it, so they had to talk in a whisper.

"The emperor is so confused, how could he crown an unfavored concubine as king." A minister said indignantly.

"Yes, the emperor liked Emperor Yuanqing very much, why did he suddenly seal him? It's so confusing. ”

"That's it, that's it, what's so good about this concubine, is it that this time he got the light of General Fu Baiyan and won military merits?" Another minister was also very dissatisfied.

This group of them has been in the court for many years by relying on the power of Prime Minister Qi, of course, they know how unpopular Feng Yuanchen is in the Second Prince's Mansion, so they are so indignant, but above the court, Prime Minister Qi is not there, but no one dares to express their dissatisfaction, so they only dare to talk in private, and dare not show it openly.

They had to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion as soon as possible to discuss countermeasures with Prime Minister Qi, and they didn't know what happened to Emperor Feng Yuanqing's grandson now.

"Everyone, let's wait for Qi Xiang to come back and make plans, if Qi Xiang thinks this is a good thing, let's push the boat with the water, if he doesn't want to, let's think of countermeasures." Another minister reassured.

Everyone agreed.

Only after Yu Guogong left the palace, he immediately went to visit Prime Minister Qi.

When Prime Minister Qi heard that the emperor had canonized Feng Yuanchen as the king of Chen, he was also quite surprised in his heart, Yuan Qing was not still recuperating from his injuries, how could he suddenly decree to canonize Feng Yuanchen as the king.

So he immediately went to the Second Prince's Mansion with Yu Guogong, and he wanted to personally ask the Second Prince Feng Chongjun what happened.

But when he walked to the gate of the mansion, he was stopped by the guards: "Qi Xiang, everyone in the Second Prince's Mansion has been grounded by His Majesty's order, and no one is allowed to enter or leave." ”

"Grounded?" Prime Minister Qi was puzzled.

"Yes, Qi Xiang, please come back." The guard said coldly, not giving Prime Minister Qi any face.

"W-why is that?"

"I have no comment." The guard said expressionlessly.

"You, you ......" Yu Guogong suddenly became angry.

But since this order is from the emperor, even if he is unwilling, he can only leave.

At this moment, he heard a carriage stop at the door of the Second Prince's Mansion.

A woman stepped out of the carriage with a child, dressed plainly and looking very ordinary.

"Mother, is this Daddy's home?" The boy asked, looking at the guards standing in front of the mansion with a pair of curious eyes.

"Yes, Yuan Che." The woman squatted down, touched the child's head, and said with a smile.

"Wow, this house is so big." The kid said in surprise.

"Yuan Che is good, this is Daddy's mansion, we will live here in the future." The woman smiled slightly.

"Hmm." The kid nodded vigorously.

The woman looked up at the big words 'Second Prince's Mansion' on the plaque hanging above the door of this mansion, and a trace of pride flashed in her eyes, but she quickly covered it up.

When Prime Minister Qi heard the conversation between the woman and the child, he immediately walked over: "Who are you?" ”
