The death of the queen also made the government and the opposition uneasy, but King Wu's reply was that the queen heard the bad news of the emperor and felt that she had nothing to look forward to in this life.

This explanation is reasonable, and although the ministers disagreed, they did not say more.

After all, the queen has passed away, and it is pointless to investigate how the queen died, but the queen's suicide has caused speculation and discussion among the people.

The whole country mourned in silence, and the emperor and queen died at the same time, which dealt a serious blow to Shang Zhou.

Fortunately, there is still King Wu guarding the capital, and the civil turmoil has stabilized for the time being.

But the Hou Mansion was nervous, and now they didn't know anything about the old Hou Ye and Sheng Zhiyao, so they could only wait for the news from the secret guard.

Such a big thing happened in the royal family, the whole palace was changing blood, killing and surrendering, and the new eunuchs and palace ladies were sent into the palace one by one, and in just three days, the whole palace took on a new look, and there was no longer the glamorous appearance before.

However, the same is true in the court, although Feng Chongwu has already removed all the official positions of the Sheng family before he officially ascended the throne, and in the name of letting Sheng Xiang and the grand prince return to the house to handle the funeral of the old marquis, in fact, he wants them to completely withdraw from the court.

But the Sheng family didn't care about all this, they only cared about what happened to the old marquis and Sheng Zhiyao.

Because of the sudden disappearance of the county lord of Yongchen, it has also caused a lot of gossip in the capital, not only because the emperor favored the county lord the most when he was alive, but also because the character of the county lord of Yongchen jumped out of formality, she did not come forward when the emperor was killed, and she did not show up when the queen died in the palace, and suddenly disappeared, no wonder the outside world has these conjectures.

After Feng Chongwu took control of the government, he immediately signed a trade agreement with the envoys of the Eastern Liang for the firearms, and at the same time sent troops to escort the merchant ships out of the capital and to the distant Eastern Liang to negotiate with the Eastern Liang about the casting of muskets, and at the same time to purchase a large number of war materials.

In addition, because of the death of the queen, the situation in the court was tense, and a large number of positions were quickly vacant in the court, which needed to be filled, and King Wu, as the only successor, naturally had to use his own people more often.

During this time, King Wu was busy with the affairs of the imperial court while looking for Sheng Zhiyao's whereabouts, but there was no news.

Feng Chongwu always felt that there must be something strange about Sheng Zhiyao's sudden disappearance, not because it was inconvenient to take someone to search the Shenghou Mansion at this time, otherwise he would definitely copy the Sheng family and never suffer in the future. ap.

"Lord Wang." A guard hurried in to report it, looking terrified.

Feng Chongwu frowned: "What's wrong?"

The guard's face turned pale, and he stumbled and said, "Just now, the spies reported that they said yes, they said yes......

"What are you doing, hurry up!" Feng Chongwu said impatiently.

"Yes." The guard swallowed his saliva, and his voice became sharp, "It is Sheng Zhiyao who appeared in the realm of Western Chu."

"Xichu? Where is she going to do something?" Feng Chongwu was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses, and his eyes burst out with ecstasy, "Are you sure?"

"You can't go wrong, our people saw it with their own eyes in the army of Li Cheng." The guard nodded.

"Good, great, great!" Feng Chongwu's face turned red with excitement, and he couldn't help laughing.

This time, Sheng Zhiyao is difficult to fly!

"Lord Wang, do we want to control the army sent by Xichu first? So as not to make any mistakes?" The guard asked tentatively.

Feng Chongwu shook his head, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a mocking arc: "No, since Sheng Zhiyao has thrown himself into the net, then I'm not welcome."

"But on the other side of Xichu, Sheng Hancheng, the second son of the Sheng family, is leading the army, will it ......?"

"Don't let any news go to Xichu for the time being, when I finish handling the affairs of the capital and successfully ascend to the throne, it will not be too late to subdue them."

"My subordinates understand."

The night was dark.

Sheng Mansion, the lights are brilliant.

Sheng Zhengye paced in the room, his brows furrowed.

Tonight, he heard a lot of discussion from people outside, saying that Sheng Zhiyao saw that the general trend was gone, and directly abandoned his parents and brothers.

Escaped.

Sheng Zhengye was anxious: "Han Mo, where did you say Zhiyao went? Why is there no one in his courtyard?"

Although Sheng Zhiyao is naughty on weekdays, she is not like now, and she doesn't even have a personal maid.

Sheng Hanmo sighed and said, "Father, mother, my sister will be fine, she must be busy with things."

"What can she do? Can the situation in the capital be tense now?"

Sheng Zhiyao is usually stubborn, but she is a smart and sensible child, and she will never know the severity.

"Father, don't worry." Sheng Hanmo comforted his parents, "Since my sister dares to do this, she must have thought of a perfect plan, otherwise she would not have taken the risk easily."

"Hopefully." Sheng Zhengye sighed, "I don't know what happened to your grandfather now! Something must have happened, right?"

During this time, Sheng Zhengye was worried about sleeping every night, always afraid that something would happen suddenly.

"Grandpa Jiren has his own celestial phenomena, and he will definitely turn evil into good fortune and return safe and sound." Sheng Hanmo comforted.

"But it's been a long time since we've heard from them, so I'm afraid it's too bad for you, right?" Sheng Zhengye muttered.

"Father, don't worry, grandpa is blessed with a great life, and he will definitely be fine." Sheng Hanmo patted his father's shoulder and said comfortingly.

Sheng Zhiyao has followed the old marquis in Sichuan Xiangyuan since she was a child, and the old marquis treats her even more personally.

For more than a year, the Sheng family has also been thriving with the help of Sheng Zhiyao, even a few points more powerful than the original, but perhaps the fortunes of the Sheng family will finally come to an end.

"Where's Hangu? Why isn't it in the house?" Sheng Zhengye changed the topic.

In the past few days, the mansion has been filled with a thick gloomy fog, and Sheng Hangu has not seen his whereabouts all day, which makes Sheng Zhengye can't help but panic.

"Father, the third brother has to take care of those shops every day, and without the help of Mei Lan Zhuju, it's really a bit hard." Sheng Hanmo explained, "He left early and returned late, so you haven't seen him for a few days."

Sheng Zhengye was a little angry when he heard this: "When has it been, and he is still not doing his business here, just these few broken shops, can it be worth his effort? Can you save the Sheng family?"

"Father, this is our Sheng family's inheritance, and it is also my sister's hard work, you can't ignore them just because you are angry." Sheng Hanmo dissuaded, "What's more, now is the critical moment, if the third brother leaves these shops behind, won't the Sheng family have nothing?" When my sister comes back, what will we give her?"
