Sang Ya had just been taken away by the palace maid, and Shaoling knelt down and begged for mercy: "The criminal minister Shaoling will see Her Majesty the Empress." ”

This operation made Chang Xiang instantly at a loss, stunned for a moment, and Chang Xiang said: "You are very knowledgeable, who do you say asked you to take the coffin of the first emperor back to Thousand Winds City?" ”

Shao Ling said truthfully: "Back to Your Majesty, yes...... His Royal Highness Cheng asked his ministers to take back the coffin of the first emperor. ”

Changxiang sneered: "Didn't you tell General Wuxiong that the emperor asked you to take back the coffin of the first emperor?" Which emperor is it? ”

Shaoling frowned and replied, "The emperor that the minister said...... It is...... The first emperor, when the first emperor was still in Thousand Winds City, told his ministers that if the first emperor died in a different place, he would ask the ministers to take the former emperor's coffin back to Thousand Winds City for burial no matter what. So ......"

"You're lying! Full of nonsense, the first emperor had two daughters, I and Sanya, even if he knew in advance that his deadline was approaching, he would not tell you. I already knew that King Cheng proclaimed himself emperor in Lingchuan, and when the first emperor died, he plotted to usurp the throne, and I would definitely break him into pieces. Changxiang scolded angrily.

Shao Ling panicked in his heart, and hurriedly knelt down to apologize: "The criminal does not dare to deceive Her Majesty the Empress, please punish Your Majesty!" ”

Changxiang laughed angrily and shouted: "What a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, I really don't know how Sonya fell in love with you in the first place." In Sanya's heart, you are a man who dares to do things. Looking at you now, it's clear that you're a coward! The First Emperor has abolished your position as a concubine during his lifetime, and you are no longer a member of my Eastern Empire's royal family, and I will not let you bring the coffin of the First Emperor back to the Thousand Winds City. ”

Shao Ling said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the coffin of the first emperor needs to be returned to Thousand Winds City for burial as soon as possible to show respect and respect for the first emperor. At the same time, it is also to stabilize the situation in the country and avoid social unrest and political crisis caused by the death of the first emperor. If it is delayed any longer, I am afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction among the people. ”

"Who do you think you are?" Changxiang looked at him coldly, "You are a criminal minister, a traitor, and a traitor who betrayed the first emperor!" Your position as a colt has been abolished by the Emperor, and now you don't even deserve to mention your name. I don't need an official like you to do things for my Eastern Empire, and I don't need you to decide where to place the coffin of the First Emperor. ”

Shaoling knelt on the ground, tears sliding down: "Your Majesty, please listen to the minister." The minister knew that his sins were deep, but the minister just wanted to do a filial piety for the first emperor, and didn't want the first emperor's coffin to be buried in a different place. If His Majesty does not agree, the minister is willing to bear all the consequences. ”

With that, Shaoling fell to his knees. Seeing this scene, Changxiang sneered: "It's up to you? I am really not qualified to serve my Eastern Empire. Then, he instructed the guards beside him: "Put him in prison first, and wait for his fate." ”

After hearing this, a trace of struggle flashed on Shaoling's face, and he hurriedly begged for mercy: "Your Majesty is angry, please spare your life!" ”

Changxiang said angrily: "Take it down!" ”

"Your Majesty, please spare your life, if Your Majesty believes in the minions, the minions are willing to offer a plan for Your Majesty, so that Your Majesty will become the true Empress of the Eastern Empire." Shaoling is the color of the road.

When Changxiang heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and with a wave of his hand, he motioned for the guards to stop, and asked Shaoling: "You have become very fast, and you call yourself a slave again, tell me, what plan do you have?" ”

Shao Ling said: "Your Majesty, although King Cheng has established himself as emperor and occupied Thousand Winds City. But as far as the minions knew, he had not yet found the heirloom jade seal of the Eastern Empire. Without the jade seal of the country, he would not be an emperor in the real sense, he was just a puppet emperor and did not get real power. Now only the chief eunuch blade knows where the heirloom jade seal is, and the chief blade is currently in Tianxue City, so His Majesty has the best chance to get the heirloom jade seal first. ”

Changxiang said: "Even if you only get the jade seal of the country, how can you guarantee that King Cheng will give up being the emperor?" ”

Shao Ling continued: "When the First Emperor died in Heavenly Snow City, only His Majesty was present among the members of the royal family, I wonder if the First Emperor left an edict? ”

Changxiang pondered for a moment and said: "The first emperor died very suddenly, and he did not leave a testament. ”

After Shaoling heard this, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes: "Your Majesty, if the first emperor really did not leave an edict, then we will have a chance." His Majesty can issue a holy decree in the name of the first emperor, saying that before the first emperor died, he ordered the emperor's throne to be passed on to Princess Changxiang. This move will definitely cause chaos in the world and make King Cheng lose the hearts of the people. At the same time, Your Majesty can personally lead a large army to conquer King Cheng, defeat him, and recapture the Jade Seal of the Kingdom, so that you will be the true Empress. ”

After hearing this, Changxiang frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, he said, "You go down first, and Rong Zhen will think about it." ”

Shao Ling said: "Your Majesty, the slave can't run anyway, can you loosen the slave." ”

Changxiang motioned to the guards around him to untie the ropes tied to Shaoling's body, and ordered the guards to take Shaoling to the side hall next door to take care of him.

Changxiang then came to his dormitory, and saw Sangya pacing inside, looking very anxious.

After Changxiang ordered all the palace maids to leave, he walked to Sanya's side.

Sonya asked, "Sister, what did you do with the young spirit colt?" ”

Changxiang said: "He's okay, Sangya, are you okay lately?" ”

Sonya nodded, and then asked, "Sister, why do you want to be the empress?" ”

Changxiang sighed and said, "My father has died, he only has our two daughters, and the inheritance of the throne can only be me." ”

Sonya said: "But Uncle Huang, he has already ascended the throne and become the emperor." ”

Changxiang shouted angrily: "Don't mention him! He took advantage of the death of his father to usurp the throne, violated the rules set by his ancestors, and his crime was unforgivable and must be executed! ”

"But ......," Sanya wanted to say and stopped.

Changxiang asked, "Say whatever you want to say, just say it quickly, don't spit out." ”

Sonya was silent for a while before she said slowly: "Sister, I want to ask you, how did my father die, when he left Thousand Winds City, his body was fine, why did he come to Heavenly Snow City to ......" After Sonya finished speaking, her face showed a look of pain, as if she remembered a lot of past events.

After listening to Sanya's words, Changxiang's face became gloomy. She took a deep breath, and then said, "When my father's old illness suddenly recurred, and when the imperial doctor came, it was too late, and the imperial doctor said that my father had chest paralysis and could not be treated. ”

Changxiang looked at Sang Ya on the side, saw that her eyes were full of sadness and disappointment, and couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, and then said: "When my father died, I didn't stay by his side, and my father must have left with great regret and didn't leave any last words. ”

Hearing this, Sanya couldn't stop flowing out. Changxiang wiped away his tears with his sleeve and comforted: "Sangya, although my father has died, but you still have me, this country belongs to our sisters, and we can't give it to King Cheng." ”

Sang Yamei's eyes showed a hint of firmness, and she said softly: "I'm not interested in imperial power, where is my father's coffin now, I want to go and see it." ”

Changxiang said: "Father's coffin is now parked in the Fushou Palace, I will take you there." ”

At that moment, Changxiang led Sangya to the Fushou Hall and saw the coffin of the first emperor. There were several officials guarding the spirit of the Emperor by the coffin, including the Chief Blade Priest and Master Chengfan. When they saw Changxiang coming in, they stood up and saluted Changxiang.

Changxiang knelt in front of the coffin, praying silently, while Sangya quietly stroked the coffin of the first emperor, her eyes were full of sadness, recalling the happy times she had with her father...... Father, why did you leave me, don't you want Sangya......"

Her heart-rending cry made onlookers feel sad. Changxiang took Sangya's hand and comforted him softly: "Sangya, you don't have to be so sad, just let your father rest here in peace." ”

Sanya didn't stop crying, but wanted to cry, and Changxiang had to stop persuading.

Changxiang called the chief blade manager to a side hall, she sat on a chair, and asked the blade priest: "Chief blade manager, before the first emperor came to Tianxue City, he asked you to hide the heirloom jade seal in the palace, do you remember where you hid it?" ”

The blade said, "Your Majesty, the slave still remembers where she hid. However, it can't be said now, because the jade seal of the country is hidden in the city of a thousand winds, and if it returns to the city of a thousand winds, the slave will take out the jade seal of the country. ”

Changxiang nodded and said, "It's okay, when do you think it's most appropriate for us to return to the court?" ”

The blade said: "Your Majesty, as long as the slave and maid go back, they will hand over the jade seal of the country to Your Majesty, as for the most appropriate time to return to Thousand Winds City, this is still up to Your Majesty to decide." ”

Changxiang pondered for a moment and said, "You can help me call Master Chengfan in." ”

The chief blade priest answered the call, and after a while, Lord Chengfan walked in.

"See Your Majesty." Cheng Fan arched his hand.

Changxiang said: "Cheng Fan Aiqing, we have been here for a long time, do you think it's time to return to Thousand Winds City?" ”

Cheng Fan smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that now is the best time for us to return to Thousand Winds City. ”

Changxiang asked, "Why do you say that?" ”

Cheng Fan replied, "Your Majesty, although we have achieved some victories, they are temporary. His Royal Highness King Cheng has now held an enthronement ceremony and established himself as emperor. Prime Minister Liang Yu also followed him, and from the current point of view, they have become the new court of the Eastern Empire. Although Her Majesty has also declared herself the Empress in Heavenly Snow City, in the eyes of King Cheng and his henchmen, we are just a puppet regime that does not dare to return to the capital, and if we continue to stay in Heavenly Snow City, King Cheng may take more drastic action against us. And back in Thousand Winds City, we can use our strengths to reorganize and win more supporters to lay a solid foundation for the elimination of King Cheng and his henchmen. ”

After hearing this, Changxiang pondered for a while, and then nodded. She knew that Cheng Fan had a point, and it was indeed a better choice to return to Thousand Winds City. She decides to follow Cheng Fan's advice and lead her army back to Thousand Winds City to start her journey again.

Chang Xiang continued: "King Cheng sent Shaoling and Sang Ya with two hundred forbidden troops to Tianxue City to take the coffin of the first emperor back to Thousand Winds City for burial, what do you think we should do?" ”

Cheng Fan thought for a moment and said with a smile: "This should be a good thing." As long as the dragon body of the first emperor can be put into the tomb of the emperor for peace, it can also reflect His Majesty's filial piety, and it has a good effect on establishing His Majesty's prestige. ”

Changxiang said: "I have been thinking about the affairs of the DPRK and China recently, and I feel a little powerless, how can I eliminate the influence of the Chengwang party?" to revive the prosperity of the country! I am troubled by the chaos and stability of the current court, and even if I go to Thousand Winds City, I am afraid that I will not be able to bring the rebels such as King Cheng to justice, and even if we return, it will pose a threat to our safety. ”
