As soon as the carriage had traveled some distance, Yu Mian turned around and returned to the Buddhist temple before.

In the backyard of the Buddhist temple, they also found several mounds similar to those found on the streets of Xizhao Village.

Yu Mian didn't know why there was a ready-made stove in the kitchen, but they didn't use it, but had to spend time and effort to rebuild a new one.

But I think there are also many innocent souls in this Buddhist temple.

When Yu Mian left again, she directly set fire to this place, and she was still angry that she wanted to dig up the bodies of the three Yuanwu people from the dry well and burn them again.

But even if they are slashed with a thousand knives, how many lives can they take?

On the way, Li Huaize saw that Yu Mian was depressed, and while driving the car, he was always looking for topics to chat about, distracting Yu Mian's attention.

"After these villages and towns, we will arrive at Jiarun County, let's not find a place to rest on the way, and after we go directly to Jiarun County, we will find a place to settle down."

Li Wice paused, looked at Yu Mian's side face and asked, "Did you say okay?" ”

"Okay."

Yu Mian nodded directly, and said lightly: "This place is sparsely populated, most of the people on the road are homeless, and the situation in other villages and towns must be similar to that of Xizhao Village." ”

As she spoke, Yu Mian handed the reins in her hand to Li Huaice, and she picked up the map and studied it.

"The official road not far from Jiarun County is a trade route to and from Dongyu country, which has always been prosperous, although the situation in the north is not very optimistic now, it will have an impact on the trade route, but it is estimated that it will be better than other places."

"I've seen this road too."

Li Huaize echoed: "When the time comes, let's take this road, there should be many caravans along the road, and we will not be too conspicuous if we mix in it." ”

After all, they have a carriage, which is not exquisite, but it is also a bit eye-catching for the homeless people who have no food and can only walk on their feet.

But if they were mixed in with the caravan, their carriages would not be enough.

"And it is said that the Dongyu Congress sent envoys to Shengjing to worship a few years ago, and the main roads that the Dongyu envoys will pass through will be guarded by soldiers, and the road will be safer." Li Huaize added lightly.

When the words fell, Yu Mian raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, and said with some doubts: "You also know the things in the court?" ”

Li Huaice said helplessly: "Although we are far away from Shengjing Mountain, but there are reports from all over the world for such a thing as the new emperor's accession to the throne, who wouldn't know?" ”

The new emperor ascends the throne?

Yu Mian realized in a trance that such a sentence was indeed mentioned in the book.

The mother concubine of the male protagonist Xiao Tingnian is Mei Guifei, who once favored the six palaces, it is said that Mei Guifei was born as a palace maid and had a humble background, but she was born with a good appearance, and she received a good errand from the imperial garden to serve the tea palace maid as soon as she entered the palace.

Later, His Majesty fell in love with her at first sight, and directly crossed the rank and became a blockbuster nobleman.

Since then, the combined favor of many concubines in the harem is not as good as His Majesty's favor for Concubine Mei, and even the queen who once grew up with His Majesty's childhood sweetheart has been treated coldly.

Later, Concubine Mei gave birth to six princes, and the queen gave birth to seven princes, and became the two princes most loved and valued by His Majesty.

The princes in front of them died young, died of illness, and the princes who survived were not loved by His Majesty.

Although the sixth prince and the seventh prince were all respected by His Majesty.

However, the Dali Dynasty has always attached importance to bloodline, and often the heirs of the middle palace are the candidates for the future prince.

can see that the sixth prince and the seventh prince have reached adulthood, but His Majesty has not had the idea of appointing the crown prince for a long time, so the rumors in the court are becoming increasingly disturbed.

In addition, the Seven Princes have always been a little unruly, relying on the status of the middle palace heir, there is no one in their eyes.

And the sixth prince raised by Mei Guifei, that is, the actor Xiao Tingnian, has been well-behaved and steady since he was a child, not only smart and clever, but also restrained and courteous, and never despised others.

Therefore, there are more and more voices in the court for appointing the six princes as princes.

His Majesty seems to think so, too.

The six princes began to participate in court politics early, and His Majesty also took it very seriously, allowing the six princes to discuss state affairs with the ministers in private, as if hoping that he would benefit as soon as possible and be entrusted with important tasks in the future.

However, the turn of events happened after His Majesty became seriously ill.

First, Concubine Mei was sent to the cold palace on the charge of provoking the queen, and then she was given the notoriety of disrespecting His Majesty and was directly killed on the spot.

Concubine Mei was unbelievable, she couldn't resist, and she was beaten to death by the eunuch who announced the decree!

Later, her body was wrapped in a tattered straw mat and thrown off the palace wall.

At that time, Xiao Tingnian was traveling abroad, and when he heard the bad news, he hurriedly returned to the palace, but what he was waiting for was an unprovoked imprisonment career.

He was confined to his main hall for two years.

In the past two years, he has hardly seen anyone from the outside, but the palace people who stayed in the palace to serve him occasionally brought him some news from the outside.

One said that he was not actually born to His Majesty.

In order to compete with the queen for favor, Concubine Mei gave birth to the prince before the queen, and did not hesitate to make friends with others, in a vain attempt to confuse the royal bloodline.

His Majesty was furious, so he dealt with it mercilessly and resolutely.

The second said that His Majesty actually did not really favor the six princes, but because most of the princes in front of him died unexpectedly, so he was afraid that the seven princes who were born from him and the queen would also suffer this disaster, so he deliberately showed his favor for the six princes, so that others would mistakenly think that His Majesty loved the six princes and wanted to set up the six princes as the princes, so as to protect the seven princes.

Later, His Majesty acted as if to confirm the second rumor.

After the death of Concubine Mei, no one in the harem could resist the queen's edge.

His Majesty has been seriously ill for two years, and he has carefully taught the Seven Princes, and the Queen has taken care of him, and gradually this stubborn Seven Princes has also shown a brave and resourceful, calm and atmospheric side.

Later, there was less gossip in the court.

Two years later, His Majesty passed away, and the Seven Princes inherited the throne naturally, and His Majesty's childhood sweetheart Empress was crowned the Queen Mother.

Since then, the dust has settled, and the six princes have also been released.

Xiao Tingnian was named King Ning, and after he came out, the first errand assigned to him by the new emperor was to go to the north to investigate the gold mines.

This kind of thing, if done well, may not be able to reap any benefits.

But if it is not done well, the punishment waiting for him will also emerge one after another.

Xiao Tingnian actually knew very well in his heart that this was a means used by his good brother Xiao Tingyu to manipulate him.

Two years have passed, his mind has become more gloomy, and the surface has become more leaky, he is full of joy to accept the errand, and he is also planning another overall situation in his heart.

Originally, Xiao Tingnian met Gu Yao because of this incident, and in the future, he would rely on Gu Yao's 'unpredictable prophet' to slowly plump his wings.

But Gu Yao died.

Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, the world has been decided, and his prestige is high.

If Xiao Tingnian loses Gu Yao, if he has to fight hard, he may not be able to get any benefits in the end.

After thinking about it, Yu Mian felt that it was more reliable to take advantage of the new emperor's east wind and work hard to make a fortune.
