Chapter 139

【You gaze at the rising morning sun.】

【The dawn breaks, ten thousand rays of golden light, gently stroking all things in the world.】

【Feng Haiping led a group of people, stepping steadily into the majestic and solemn hall, the Taihe Hall!】

【"Pay respects to Shaobao!"】

【"The troops have rested and are ready, waiting only for the order to set off immediately."】

【You nodded faintly.】

【Thinking in your heart, this trip to the capital, the return date is unpredictable, and coming here again, I fear it will be another spring and autumn.】

【The spring scenery of Chaoling is beautiful, and my father once said when he passed the imperial examination, "See all the flowers in Chaoling in one day."】

【But I didn't come in spring!】

【You shook your head, waiting for the dust to settle, to retire to the mountains and forests, and concentrate on cultivating the Dao.】

【Your gaze swept across the hall, only to see Feng Haiping and other generals, ready for battle, waiting quietly for your order.】

【Zhou Cheng, Liu Wen, and Dou Gu, their eyes were full of reverence for you.】

【Feng Haiping was also confused, seeing Liu Wen, Li Xuedian, and other noble children, their eyes burning with unprecedented heat for Shaobao today.】

【People like Liu Wen and Li Xuedian have read many books since childhood, and the arrogance and pride of scholars have long been integrated into their bones.】

【Don't know what happened last night?】

【Feng Haiping didn't take it seriously!】

【They had never stepped into the military, and their knowledge of Shaobao's wisdom and courage might only be limited to the shallow view of "sitting in a well and looking at the sky."】

【Having never personally experienced the years of war, how could they understand Shaobao's way of using troops.】

【Already like a heavenly man!】

【Your gaze finally fell on Zhou Jinyu. This Empress of Daqing, she experienced the changes of yesterday, her face looked tired, but she had also returned to calmness.】

【Zhou Jinyu met your gaze.】

【Not long after!】

【Hasty footsteps came from outside the Taihe Hall; Xie Chunan brought two venerable old men, Chen and Li, leading dozens of Jiangnan noble ministers, and hurried into the hall.】

【Lu Yu found an acquaintance among that group, Wang Yang.】

【This was your first meeting with Xie Chunan.】

【The Lu Family Army generals saw this and stepped aside, standing on one side.】

【Xie Chunan, not wearing official robes, without putting on any airs, bowed respectfully and said:】

【"Xie Chunan, pay respects to Shaobao!"】

【The accompanying crowd also dared not be the slightest bit negligent, bowing one after another.】

【"Pay respects to Shaobao!"】

【Wang Yang, at this time, had the most feelings in his heart.】

【Yesterday he was still worried about Lu Chen's safety outside the city gate, worried about the future of the Lu family.】

【In just one day, the capital had changed, and the situation had changed.】

【The capital, this center of power, was now completely in Shaobao's grasp.】

【Deep in the palace, the Son of Heaven passed away, and the Empress Dowager also followed; the speed of this series of changes far exceeded everyone's expectations.】

【Shaobao entering the capital was like a dragon returning to the sea, and all sides were shocked.】

【Wang Yang was not a person who stuck to old rules; he knew deeply that he was carrying the rise and fall of the Jiangnan Wang family.】

【In this chaotic world, now that the four nations are besieging the capital, only Lu Chen can hold it down; only by following the trend can he preserve the family, preserve himself, and preserve the people.】

【As for the tragedy of Wang Shian, Wang Yang couldn't help but sigh; he had repeatedly and earnestly advised Wang Shian to restrain himself.】

【Alas, it is fate, the youth died of arrogance!】

【Wang Yang looked at you with eyes that, in addition to the original admiration, added a few points of awe.】

【"Wang Yang pays respects to Shaobao!"】

【As the echo of "Pay respects to Shaobao" gradually dissipated.】

【Zhou Jinyu's heart finally confirmed that the capital had completely crawled at the feet of you, Shaobao.】

【A complex emotion flashed in her eyes, and finally there was only relief in her eyes!】

【You said calmly: "Gentlemen, please rise, I have no official position."】

【The crowd heard this and rose one after another, their movements different; some looked slightly stiff, obviously still feeling uncomfortable with this scene.】

【Some looked relatively calm, as if they had accepted this reality.】

【Without extra small talk, the atmosphere felt a bit heavy.】

【Dou Gu walked out at the right time, breaking the silence: "Today, all the gentlemen gathered here to witness a major event."】

【"The country cannot be without a ruler for a day; I don't know who you gentlemen think is capable?"】

【"This..."】

【As soon as these words came out, the hall was silent; the ownership of the Daqing ruler was undoubtedly the most sensitive and critical issue at this moment.】

【The Lu Family Army generals stood on one side, all wearing armor, their long swords clanking at their waists.】

【As soon as Dou Gu's voice fell, the generals opened their tiger eyes wide, like the "Heavenly King" statues on the high platform in the temple, their momentum compelling, making the atmosphere of the hall even more serious and tense.】

【Facing this sudden question!】

【The ministers of the Jiangnan noble families were panicked for a while, although they were prepared.】

【They looked at each other, no one dared to speak easily. Some secretly looked at Zhou Cheng, seeming to want to get some hint from him, while others looked directly at you, with exploration in their eyes.】

【In this subtle atmosphere!】

【Dou Gu spoke again: "Master Xie, what is your high opinion on this?"】

【As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes were focused on Xie Chunan.】

【As the representative of the Jiangnan noble families, his attitude would be crucial.】

【Xie Chunan also seemed to feel this pressure; he bowed slightly, scanned the crowd, and had already spoken.】

【"Now Daqing is in trouble, the Son of Heaven has passed away suddenly, and Shaobao entering the capital to temporarily lead state affairs is the pillar of the country."】

【"We follow Shaobao's lead to overcome difficulties together; as for the decision of the monarch's position, the humble minister dare not speak rashly!"】

【Xie Chunan bowed and said:】

【"Xie Chunan follows Shaobao's lead, please Shaobao decide!"】

【These words were out!】

【Dou Gu was stunned, not expecting Xie Chunan and the others to have no "integrity" of being direct ministers.】

【Not expecting them to be so "bright," so decisive.】

【Retreating cleanly!】

【The representatives of the Jiangnan noble families behind hesitated slightly.】

【Dou Gu continued to ask with a smile: "What about Master Li?"】

【The most prestigious surname of the Jiangnan noble families, the Li surname!】

【The old man walked out and said respectfully:】

【"Li Ran follows Shaobao's lead, please Shaobao decide!"】

【Dou Gu continued to ask: "What about Master Chen?"】

【The second surname of the Jiangnan noble families, the Chen surname!】

【The old man hesitated for a while, sighed, and said slowly:】

【"Chen Tan follows Shaobao's lead, please Shaobao decide!"】

【Dou Gu didn't ask again!】

【In the field!】

【They knelt down in unison:】

【"Wang Yang follows Shaobao's lead, please Shaobao decide!"】

【"Follow Shaobao's lead, please Shaobao decide!"】

【Zhou Jinyu listened to the "Follow Shaobao's lead!" from the heads of the Jiangnan clans one by one.】

【She was a bit dazed!】

【Zhou Zhen, this Daqing Son of Heaven, her husband, every time he proposed a policy before, this group of people would look coldly and say: "Your Majesty, this cannot be done."】

【Obstacles were heavy!】

【Now!】

【Like two different people.】

【The people are the old people, only the political situation has changed!】
