A big event happened in the capital.

This incident is also the most sensational event in the past twenty years, and the heated discussion among the people is far more influential than the original Eight Kings Rebellion, after all, they couldn't even eat enough to eat all day long, and the people were not in the mood to talk about these things. But now it is also a peaceful era, but I never thought that the dignified Zhou Tianzi would die overnight, or he was assassinated in the palace.

When people heard the news, they were stunned for a while, and they didn't know whether to scold the palace guards for being stupid, or to sigh that the thieves and assassins were too fierce, and most of them refused to believe the news.

After all, for them, Wei Shengzhao is a benevolent monarch, just the reduction of taxes and servitude, and the reduction of the power of the nobles are worthy of their praise for a lifetime, and people also love the current emperor from the bottom of their hearts, and no one wants to have a stable life and have turmoil in a few days.

But His Majesty really collapsed, and many people died overnight.

The country cannot be without a monarch for a day, the new emperor Wei Shengguang added a yellow robe the next day, sat on the dragon chair, and then there were cumbersome procedures, no longer speaking.

All in all, Da Zhou has changed again.

The name of the year was changed to Yongning, and the Hanlin Academy drafted an edict for the new emperor, showing the world, and the fast horses rushed from Beijing to various places one after another like snowflakes, and then the whole world was a sensation.

Shangzhou, Anhui County.

Shangzhou is adjacent to Sizhou and Yingzhou, located in the southwest of Sizhou and west of Yingzhou, and is one of the six states in the Central Plains. Shangzhou to the west, after the Xixiu River is Shudi, south across the Hanhai River is Jiangnan, so Shangzhou can be said to be a traffic artery connecting the border of the Central Plains, and the waterway and land route can be said to extend in all directions.

With easy access comes endless business opportunities. Xishu and Jiangnan are far away from the Central Plains, and their exquisite specialties have become the demand of large families. Over time, Shangzhou has become a veritable "Shangzhou".

Merchants gather here, there are countless wealthy officials and gentry, and there are many families with thousands of waists, which is a place where fat sheep and fat cattle gather in the eyes of the court and the people of the rivers and lakes. Whenever there is a war or a catastrophe, the imperial court will think of all kinds of ways to squeeze oil and water out of these guys; needless to say, the bandits and thieves in the rivers and lakes will even secretly collect some money from time to time in case of emergency.

As the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, and the big families in Shangzhou are rich, so they are naturally tough, and the guards hired at home are also more sophisticated than the other, so it has led to the fact that there are no decent sects in the entire Shangzhou, and the governors of the prefectures and counties around the country also have to look at the faces of the big merchants, and this can also be said to be a place ruled by merchants.

Anhui County is the capital of Shangzhou, although this place is the Central Plains, but the architectural style in the county is quite a bit of Jiangnan characteristics, Shuzhong style, generally speaking, it is like a mixture of hundreds of schools, the end is prosperous, this kind of scenery, compared to Kyoto Tai'an also has more than that, full of flowers and green, not to talk about the alleys and alleys, is the green building of the street wafting out of the rouge gouache incense, can make people faint.

I have to say that where there is money, it is still capricious.

Early this morning, the people gathered together, and many people rushed to the head of the city when they heard the news, just to see the notice sent by the imperial court. Even the pampered businessmen who had always been pampered heard the news, and they couldn't help but be so frightened that they smashed the expensive teacups in their hands, and squeezed into the crowd to stare at the bull's eye to see the notice seriously.

Dozens of sturdy soldiers guarding the notice were unexpectedly squeezed out of the crowd alive, and anger rose in their hearts for a while, but at a glance they saw many richly dressed and pot-bellied middle-aged people in the crowd, and the hand holding the hilt of the sword couldn't help but let go.

The emperor has been killed, what are these lowest-level soldiers?

They let out a long sigh of helplessness.

"What's on it?" shouted a small man who couldn't squeeze in, waving his arms.

"Uh...... I don't understand it, do you have a literate explanation?" a tall and strong man stood at the front of the crowd, touched the back of his head, and said embarrassedly.

The people glared at him angrily, and they couldn't understand it and squeezed to the front to block it, but they caught a glimpse of his arms, which were thicker than people's thighs, and consciously closed their mouths.

"The court announced that it probably meant that His Majesty was killed, the new emperor ascended the throne, and then two traitors who defected were wanted. An unnamed enthusiast replied.

Someone angrily scolded: "What's going on? Who killed Your Majesty? Who is the traitor? What about the forbidden army? Levying so many taxes on us to raise a group of people who eat dry food? Can't even protect Your Majesty?"

The enthusiastic person said helplessly: "It is said that the eldest prince Wei Shenghuan, Qi Wang Wei Shengyou, and the general Mojun colluded with Tianxin Sect to assassinate His Majesty in the middle of the night; ”

"The forbidden army in the capital suffered heavy casualties overnight, but fortunately, there is still Lord Taifu in charge of the overall situation, so there is no turmoil, after all, Lord Taifu is still a respected elder, this is not the new emperor as soon as he ascends the throne, the powerful old minister died again, it seems that the Sikong family is going to rise again!"

Someone asked out loud, "Isn't there still Xun Shangshu?"

"Who knows, the affairs of the court, let's not follow the blind mixture. However, this year, the champion became a celebrity around His Majesty, and it is said that the edict that stabilized the ministers of the court and the central government during the chaos that night was that he invited the queen Yizhi, which did not lead to chaos in the capital, and it was also a great achievement!"

"This year's champion, is that kid from Lord Su's family?" A middle-aged man in luxurious clothes clapped his palms excitedly and said, "We helped Lord Su handle many things during His Majesty's birthday banquet before, now, hehehe......"

Someone glanced at the middle-aged man with disdain and asked, "Who is that fugitive?"

"General Mojun, and ......"

Before the words fell, a surprised female voice suddenly sounded: "General, oh my God! Is there a portrait of him? I want to see it, I want to see it!"

The crowd suddenly stirred, and there was a lot of discussion, saying everything.

At the same time, at the gate of Anhui County, a carriage slowly came.
