On the fifth day of the September 1st, the news of the founding emperor of Daliang's founding country had already been informed of the people in Zhangbang City this morning. The whole of Luoyang was suddenly shocked. Ascending the throne and becoming emperor was abrupt. After only one day of becoming emperor, people were gone. The literati and elegant guests who were looking for Li Tang were happy and called their friends to hide in the restaurant to celebrate.

The people in the city did not feel much emotion and still lived like before. They did not value who would become the emperor in the future. As long as they lived a good life, they would be the topic of conversation after dinner. Of course, the news is spreading now, and to prove it, they flocked to the inner three layers of the four doors, stretched their necks, and looked around with their feet. Some literate people read it out loud to everyone.

Zhu Wen was cruel, and the people of the funeral queen had no reaction. This was what Zhu Yougui wanted to see. With only such an atmosphere, he inherited the throne, and there were not many complaints among the people, which would hinder and not damage reputation.

And in the court, matters before ascending the throne are also in full swing.

In recent days, he has summoned all the civil and military officials in the court. Because he has not ascended the throne and is not the prince, he cannot live in the palace. For a time, the former Liang Palace and the current civil and military officials in the Ying Palace gathered together. The summoned court officials sat in the middle hall where the guests were met, waiting to have a separate discussion with Zhu Yougui.

The day before yesterday, the generals and generals such as Yang Shihou and Ge Congzhou had basically seen each other, but these people were all old man Zhu Wen, for fear that the other party would see his father-killing behavior, so they naturally did not dare to speak too explicitly. The few people just followed the words and made Zhu Yougui unable to figure it out.

It is difficult to get the response from the general of the army. At present, he can only turn around and get support from other civil and military places in the court. Some people also encounter strong-willed people who suspect that Zhu Yougui killed his father and the envoy sent was scolded by the other party. The latter came back to the palace to repost, which aroused Zhu Yougui's anger.

For two consecutive days, the opposing court officials were almost patronized by thieves. They not only took away money, but also killed the entire family of the officials who were scolding and hung them on the beams of the house.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see the political information behind this incident. For fear of being endangered, the civil and military officials of the court had to come to the Ying Palace to express their position.

The sky was gloomy, and the raindrops hit the branches and leaves of the courtyard, and weeds were removed along the tips of the leaves. In the nearby building and in the open window, King Ying, Zhu Yougui, carried his hands on his back and talked to Yichaochen for a moment, smiled and nodded to the other party, letting the latter go out. As soon as he opened the door, he called the other party again.

"Is the Shangshu Ling here?"

The court official thought about it for a while: "Go back to King Ying, I have just met the Shangshu Ling, and I should still be here. I will not call him."

"No, just go out."

Geng Qing had obviously expressed his attitude when he came to the palace, which made Zhu Yougui satisfied. As for the meeting, he had to wait until he had talked with other ministers before he could talk about something in private.

Shangshu Ling had a very good relationship with the generals and generals in the army. Only by following this path could he win over Ge Congzhou, Yang Shihou and others.

After all, I recently heard that Emperor Zhu Youzhen often went in and out of Yang Shihou's mansion, which made him feel threatened.

‘Zhu Youzhen…’

He looked out the window and murmured in the dark green courtyard in the rain.

.........

In the lush backyard, Geng Qing, who Zhu Yougui thought of, was strolling in this familiar mansion with his hands on his hands. He didn't like to interact with the people in the court, and Yang Shihou and others were not among them, so there was nothing to say. It would be better to walk around and unknowingly arrive at the backyard. In the octagonal pavilion not far away, the 'treadmill' he had given to Zhu Wen was placed there, rubbing the handrail, and there was no trace of dust, pedals, and rollers on it, which could be seen that it was often used.

Unfortunately, the person who used it is no longer there.

Originally, Geng Qing didn't like Zhu Wen's chaotic nature, but the other party's kindness and loyalty to him were indelible.

‘If you can change your personality, you might be a wise ruler.’

"Shangshu Ling."

When she sighed, a female voice suddenly rang outside the pavilion. Geng Qing turned her head. On the side of the corridor, Zhang Suhe was wearing a flowery dress and long skirt, wearing two maids who were close to her, and smiling under the eaves. She looked and figure were not as good as Wang's, but she was also a beauty, but she was a little impatient.

The woman dragged her skirt and walked out of the eaves of the corridor and came into the pavilion, "What are Shangshuling thinking?"

"I miss you when I see things and think of my brother." Geng Qing didn't hide it, smiled, raised his hand to congratulate the woman, "In the future, Qing will call the queen."

Zhang Suhe raised her sleeves and covered her face and chuckled. Apart from her husband and father-in-law, she had a husband-and-wife relationship, the Shangshuling in front of her was the only one who was in front of her. When she heard the other party say this, her eyes stared at Geng Qing with her voice becoming delicate.

"If the Shangshu Ling hadn't spoken for my husband, how could he have such a status today? Shangshu Ling, come with me, and I have something for you to show you."

"What?"

"You will know if you come here..."

The woman's eyes were filled with spring water. She ignored the two maids around her. She pulled Geng Qing into the wing room with her delicate fingers. She walked anxiously, opened the door and pushed Geng Qing in. She turned around and told the two maids to close the door quickly.

After Zhu Wen's death, he had not been tendered by a man for many days. The woman was nervous. After her husband became powerful, she was a little disgusted with her to a large extent. She had not touched her for at least half a month. After searching for the servants in the mansion to vent, Zhang Suhe could not bear this face. Only Geng Qing had a husband and wife and had a good relationship was the best choice.

Close the door, the woman turned around and lowered the door, looked at Geng Qing by the table, and her eyes seemed to be lit, and then... she rushed over!

Soon, the two maids waiting outside vaguely heard the rustling sound of taking off their clothes. The two girls' faces were a little red and they looked at each other and smiled secretly.

After a while, the two of them saw a figure walking towards Longting on this side of the corridor leading to the front yard. When they saw the person's appearance, clothes, and blushing faces, they were so scared that they turned white. One of the maids quickly knocked on the door behind them, and their speech was a little anxious.

"Madam, King Ying is here."

Bang!

In the room, on the shaking round table, the teacup was broken on the ground. The lady supported the table and raised her face. She turned around and looked behind her: "Shangshu Ling......Stop first... Once you stop, my husband is here."

However, Geng Qing ignored it.

At this moment, Zhu Yougui had already left the eaves of the corridor. After he finished talking with more than a dozen court officials today, he went to find Geng Qing. When he heard a servant say that he had come to the backyard, he came straight over.

When I arrived at the side room, I saw two maids and asked casually: "Do you see the Shangshu Ling?"

The two maids also experienced a lot. After all, they often sent their wives to the people around King Liang, and their expressions were very natural at this time.

"I didn't see you when I returned to King Ying."

Another maid was smarter, frowned and pointed to the direction of the side courtyard, "When I just brought embroidery to my wife, I seemed to see the Shangshu Ling go there."

Zhu Yougui nodded, looked at the closed door in front of him, and did not want to go in to see his wife. His wife had been played with by his father, but in fact he was still disgusted in his heart. Before he gained power, it was a good thing that he would ascend to the throne now. He would like to think of such a stain again, and he felt a little disgusted when he saw his wife.

But after all, his wife was still his wife. After taking two steps, he stopped again and heard something vaguely.

"Su He, what are you doing in the room?"

Behind the door, the woman's pretty face turned red and she almost screamed, but she still gritted her teeth and endured it. After a moment, the woman's voice came out.

"No... nothing... I'm drinking soup... I accidentally... I just accidentally knocked over the soup bowl and burned my hand... Hiss... It's so hot."

Hum...it's still so careless.

Zhu Yougui shook his head, how could such a woman be the queen? After thinking about it, he turned around and walked forward. When he walked away, the two maids at the door knocked on the door again and whispered: "King Ying is leaving."

The moment the words were finished, a long and continuous sound suddenly resounded inside. Soon, the door creaked and opened. Geng Qing took care of his belt, walked out as usual, and walked away in the other direction.

The gloomy sky clouds rolled over.

The drops of rain turned into a rustling sound of rain, and bead curtains were woven under the eaves. Geng Qing came to the pavilion and sat down again. When he looked at the rainy curtain outside, Zhu Yougui, who came from the side yard, saw the figure in the pavilion and smiled immediately on his face.

"Uncle, it turns out that I'll find me here for a while."

"King Ying."

Geng Qing smiled and stood up and bowed to the figure who came in with water vapor. It seemed that what had happened just now had not happened, so he invited the other party to sit down and greet him.

The two of them talked about the serious matters.

"Today, I asked my uncle to come over, but there was actually one thing I wanted to discuss with my uncle."

"Please tell me, King Ying."

"Generals from all armies." Zhu Yougui looked straight at Geng Qing, pointed his finger at the stone table, and said lightly: "My uncle has a close relationship with the generals. When he went north for two battles, Yang Shihou, Ge Congzhou, Liu Feng and others should have great respect for his uncle. As long as his uncle comes forward, they should be together with the orphan."

Geng Qing had a smile on his face and nodded: "Okay."

Zhu Yougui also laughed. He stood up and walked to the fence, held his hands and looked out at the rain curtain outside.

"If I want to ascend the throne, how can I only have dragon and warriors? The two armies of control and cranes? If I want to stabilize the situation, I must have generals who can fight. The warlike soldiers will shock the prefectures and counties. It is best..."

He turned around and said, "It's best that my uncle can also give me the Longxiang Army together. Longxiang is all cavalry, and I want to use it well, but my uncle also rest assured that the Longxiang Army envoy Yang Huaixiong will not touch him, and still let him stay in his original position, but I want to add a deputy envoy."

Zhu Yougui's hand was so simple. It was actually a disguised form of adding a deputy envoy. He wanted to seize power. As someone who wanted the emperor, there was nothing wrong with this. He wanted to win over Yang Shihou and others and let himself show his face, and he also made a wedding dress for him. It seemed much more tactful to say this.

After all, there are only two armies of Longwu and Crane Control in Luoyang. If you do not agree to these conditions, you will not be able to get out of this city.

Geng Qing sat there, just nodded, and smiled. The King Ying, who was not tall, clenched his fist and knocked on the stone table.

"Tomorrow, my father will be buried and sent to the imperial tomb. After that, I will ascend the throne. The good times have been settled. Tomorrow morning, my uncle will come to see my father off. What do you think?"

Geng Qing nodded again.

"A brother passed away, and as brothers, he would go there anyway."

Not long after, Geng Qing stood up and said goodbye. The rain was still falling. He bowed to the woman with pink cheeks on the door, and then left the royal palace. The pedestrians and people on the long street raised their cuffs and covered their heads and walked hurriedly.

The carriage passed through this piece of water vapor.

As the sky gradually faded, the days passed by Zhu Wen were buried in the imperial tomb.

A few days later, on September 13th, the new emperor ascended the throne.
