Shu Blossoms

Chapter 220
March 11th, the [-]th year of Daxing in the Dawei calendar

In the early morning when everything came back to life, Pingcheng, which had been dead for five days, suddenly boiled.

In the gates and courtyards of every household in the west of the city, there is a picture posted at the entrance of the streets and alleys. It shows a prince in a python robe slashing at the emperor in a dragon robe with a knife. There is also a large character written on the painting.

The old man Cao in the alley was prosperous in his ancestors, and his father invited him to be a husband when he was a child. He was the only literate person in this alley.He was surrounded by neighbors and asked what the meaning of this painting was. Old man Cao turned pale with fright, and drove them out, "Let's go, hurry up! Don't inquire about such things, don't die!"

Someone who walked close to him on weekdays refused to leave, and secretly asked in a low voice: "Old Cao, what is the painting on this?"

"The eldest son of the emperor's family killed the emperor!"

Old man Cao leaned forward and said softly.

"Ah, isn't it treasonous for my son to kill me?" The man's eyes widened, and he looked around in panic.

"It's not just a big treason, it's treason, a regicide, and the murder of the nine clans." Old man Cao cast a glance at him, and walked into the house.

The man immediately followed him into old man Cao's house, muttering: "Hey, brother, what you said, isn't the nine clans of the emperor's eldest son the emperor's nine clans? How can you punish him!"

After chatting for a long time, old man Cao was stunned for some reason, then suddenly slapped the table and jumped up, shouting: "The emperor died unexpectedly, there must be chaos!"

While the Han people in the west of the city were discussing secretly, the nobles in the east of the city also received a letter. In the letter, King Qinghe and He Bajing led troops to force the palace. King Qinghe and Emperor Wei confronted each other in Changsheng Palace. Assuming the throne, the Heba clan will definitely become a grand master one day, so he will never be made the crown prince.King Qinghe became angry and drew his sword to look at Emperor Wei. The matter was clearly written, as if he had personally experienced it.

The death of Emperor Wei was sealed within the palace walls by King Qinghe and Tuoba Shi. People outside only knew that King Qinghe was going to rebel, but they didn't know that Emperor Wei had passed away for a few days.

This news is now spreading all over the city, and it is impossible for King Qinghe and the others to keep it a secret!

Once this matter is brought to the fore, let's not talk about what those veteran officials who are loyal to Emperor Wei will do, even those who pretend to be stupid can't be regarded as blind!

For a while, those Xianbei royal family members and those veterans who maintained the orthodoxy rushed to the palace, but now the gate of the Great Wei Palace is closed, and they are all stopped outside the Shenhu Gate.

But there are more and more people, and many of them are highly respected veterans. They are very prestigious both in the army and among the courtiers.

The general who was assigned to guard the gate couldn't hold it anymore, so he sent someone to report to King Qinghe!
And in a small courtyard in Pingcheng, Mo You excitedly pushed the door open and shouted, "Great, it's working!"

Zheng Wei, who had just fallen asleep after a busy night, was woken up by him, and threw a pillow at him annoyedly, shouting: "Get out!"

Mo You was thrown out, and touched his nose before he realized that he had broken into the girl's boudoir. If his highness found out about this, he would suffer a lot!
As soon as he turned around, he saw Zhao Mingzhi looking at him with a sullen face!

His back shivered, knowing that if he used kung fu, he would definitely not be this opponent, so he hurriedly left with his hands clasped in salute.

There was no movement outside, Zheng Wei lay back down again and continued to sleep with her head covered until the sun was westward.

She was woken up by starvation, sister is not here now and no one will give her food, so she can only stare out in a daze to find something to eat.

When she walked to the kitchen, she asked for a scent, and ran in quickly only to find that it was Zhao Mingzhi who was making soup.

"Master, you actually know how to cook?" She walked around the stove, very surprised.

Zhao Mingzhi smiled slightly, "I took care of a child before. That child was younger than you, and he couldn't eat a lot of food. At that time, he was living outside. Without a cook, he could only learn how to cook."

"Master, is it your child?"

Zheng Wei asked curiously.

"No." Zhao Mingzhi shook his head, his expression suddenly became a little heavy, "It's the child of an old friend. The old friend's family was in trouble, so I took care of him for a while."

Zheng Wei sensed that this might be a sad story. There have been too many unlucky things recently, and too many partings, so she suddenly didn't want to hear these heart-wrenching stories and stopped asking, and looked straight into the pot, "Master, What is delicious? I can smell the fragrance of rice!"

"I made some minced meat porridge, that's all I can do." Zhao Mingzhi smiled.

"Great! I haven't eaten rice for a long time, but I'm so hungry!"

Zheng Wei licked his lips greedily.

Zhao Mingzhi turned his head and saw that she really looked like a little wild cat, no wonder those guys said she looked like a little wild cat.

"It'll be ready soon, bring me a bowl!" Zhao Mingzhi ordered her with a smile.

Zheng Wei bouncingly went to get a rough porcelain bowl that was bigger than her own face, holding it with both hands and waiting for the minced meat porridge to come out of the pot.

Zhao Mingzhi scooped up a bowl for her first, and Zheng Wei didn't go back to the room, and found a place under the kitchen to sit down and sip it, squinting his eyes from time to time to savor it, like a kitten full of food.

Zhao Mingzhi suddenly said, "Wei'er, Master wants to entrust you with something!"

Zheng Wei raised her head when she heard the words, and asked worriedly: "Is something wrong with Master?"

"It's okay," Zhao Mingzhi saw her anxious face, and quickly comforted her, "I just want to say that if you meet that child in the future, please take care of him."

Zheng Wei heaved a sigh of relief, "Okay, I'll write it down!"

She had just finished eating, and when she left the kitchen, she ran into Mo You who was looking for her everywhere.

"Jing'er, I found you!" Mo You breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why are you looking for me?" Zheng Wei, who had eaten enough and slept enough, became gentle and kind again.

"I want to ask, now that those clan princes have already entered the palace to question, and now that King Qinghe's reputation for murdering the king and father has spread all over Pingcheng, what should we do next?" Some excitement.

Now most officials in Pingcheng are opposed to King Qinghe's succession to the throne, even those who originally favored King Qinghe dare not speak out for him.

In this way, King Qinghe will no longer be able to take advantage of the situation to ascend the throne!
"Wait!"

Zheng Wei smiled lightly, uttered a word, and then wobbled back into the room.

"Wait, what are you waiting for!" Seeing that Zheng Wei had returned to the bedroom again, Mo You didn't dare to go in this time, she just stood outside the door and asked anxiously.

Zheng Wei, who wanted to lie down and continue to sleep, came out again and looked at him and said: "When your highness issues the imperial edict to the princes of all walks of life in the name of the edict to enter King Jingqin! When King Qinghe turns against Tuoba Jing, they When the two fight, we can take advantage of it!"

"But King Qinghe has always respected He Bajing, and he has to rely on He Bajing if he wants to succeed to the throne. How could he turn against He Bashi?"

Mo Qi felt that this was somewhat impossible.

Zheng Wei sighed, and said softly: "I thought your Highness sent you to walk outside because you were smarter than Mo Qi, but I didn't expect that to be the case. You really are a real brother!"

Mo You scratched her head and vaguely felt that Zheng Wei was really scolding herself, but she understood too well!
