Farming in space: the struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 248 Chapter 248 The fierce battle for the throne

In less than a day, two emperors visited one after another.

Oh no, strictly speaking, the new emperor cannot be regarded as an emperor. This day's work is not enough for the old emperor to mourn. The new emperor was killed before he could ascend the throne.

The incident caught people off guard. No one expected that someone would do it so soon. It was still such a cruel method, and there was no rule at all.

Mu Yu took a deep breath, looked at Zheng Cheng, "I see. Is there anything else to say?"

"The situation is worse than we thought. We originally expected that the struggle between the various forces would not be so obvious and there was room for maneuver, but now they dare to do such things as killing the emperor, so launching a war is not a good idea. impossible……"

Mu Yu was silent for a moment, "What do you want me to do?"

She somewhat guessed Zheng Cheng's purpose. If they also want to compete for that position, they will naturally not miss the opportunity to make trouble at this time, but the current situation is worse than they thought, so they must win more support strength.

Like her, like Huangsha City behind her.

To be honest, Wen Wang's attitude towards wanting to be emperor is the same as when Wuzhen came to conquer Huangsha City, she will wait and see, and if she feels there is a chance, she will support it.

But this matter is different from Wuzhen at that time. The difficulty and complexity of recovering a city cannot be compared with that of recovering a country.

The first is time. At that time, Wu Zhen could see if there was any hope in a month or two, but Wen Wang couldn't tell at this time, one year or two years?

It has been more than a year since she left Jinzhou, that is, Wen Wang hooked up with the third princess and Zheng Cheng, but she couldn't see how sure Wen Wang was about this matter.

The second is the consequences. If Wuzhen had failed at that time, she would not have lost much. What kind of loss is a few thousand catties of grain?
But if she helps Wen Wang, what she has to pay is definitely not a few thousand catties of grain, tens of millions of catties is about the same amount, and once she is on Wen Wang's side, if Wen Wang fails by then, after the new emperor ascends the throne, She and Huangshacheng will also have trouble.

Finally, there is difficulty. At that time, Huangsha City did not have so many powerful forces staring at it, nor did it have such intricate interests involved, and it would not easily affect the interests and safety of thousands of people.

It's hard to do this.

It was difficult for her to choose this choice.

But after all, she actually had only one choice to go on.

Rather than waiting for an unknown emperor to come to power, it is better to recommend someone who knows the basics, which is good for everyone.

And her words also showed her attitude.

Zheng Cheng and Wen Wang looked at each other, and Zheng Cheng said, "Don't worry, City Lord Mu, we won't make things difficult for the City Lord, but I want to ask the City Lord for a small matter..."

……

The news from Nandu came one after another.

Zheng Cheng's people, or rather, Wen Wang's people came here very frequently, basically once a day, and occasionally once every two or three days. It lasted for more than half a month, and there were more than a dozen abandoned horses in Huangsha City alone. .

It is indeed useful, so that they can keep abreast of the situation in the southern capital and the progress of this battle for imperial power.

After the death of the new emperor, the regent Prince Ping wanted to support another baby, the thirteenth prince, who was still in his infancy, but the new emperor still had an imperial decree to rely on, and he failed to be justifiable, let alone this tenth prince who was not even justified. Where is the third prince?

There are two adult princes who are leading the army outside, and one who stays in the southern capital to win over the aristocratic family. There are also several generals who are supporting their own troops outside, the ambitious regent Prince Ping, and Wen Wang who is hiding in the dark. There are so many people. All staring at that position...

Although there was no direct fight, the plots and calculations in Nandu continued, and the dead became the norm.

Those who died were all noble people, not relatives of the emperor, or important officials of the court, and sometimes even a family died, giving people the feeling that if it continued, the Southern Qi court would become an empty shell.

Mu Yu didn't know the dead people very well, and didn't bother to remember them. He only knew that among the dead people, two were important candidates for the throne.

One was an adult prince who was leading the army abroad, and was designed to return to the Southern Capital, and finally died at the Hongmen Banquet held by King Ping and the family.

One was a general with a foreign surname who ruled over a region, and was killed by his confidantes and concubines. The tens of thousands of troops immediately collapsed, and there was nothing to fear, and he withdrew from the stage of power struggle.

In just half a month, three heavyweight players were eliminated, which shows the fierce competition.

During the past half month, Wen Wang and Zheng Chengcheng stayed in Huangsha City, and they didn't seem to be in a hurry, because the third princess wrote to them, telling them to wait for the opportunity with peace of mind.

Half a month later, the opportunity came.

Wen Wang, who received the letter from the third princess, left Huangsha City quietly with a group of guards at night, while Zheng Cheng was still doing business in Huangsha City with a high profile, attracting the attention of others. left after a month.

After the two left, there were fewer news from Nandu. One came only in ten days and a half months. There are not so many people.

As for the progress of Wen Wang's news, there was nothing, not even a single word was mentioned.

Knowing more about this kind of thing, I don't care much about it, anyway, it has little to do with Huangsha City.

Over time, she put these things behind her.

……

Due to the death of a powerful prince and a powerful general before, their subordinates and territories were in chaos, many deserters and rebels fled everywhere and caused chaos, and many people were displaced.

And Huangsha City happened to be close to one of these places, and this chaos had a considerable impact on Huangsha City.

Some well-informed businessmen canceled their trips to Huangsha City, and the merchants in Huangsha City were even more afraid to go out, and people in the city were in panic.

Mu Yu was holding a meeting to discuss how to deal with the situation. In the middle of the meeting, someone rushed to report that a caravan was taken away by bandits.

Wu Zhen immediately inquired about the situation, and immediately ordered one of his confidantes to bring [-] officers and soldiers to rescue the caravan.

Except for this matter, all the content of the meeting before the meeting is invalid, and everything must be re-negotiated.

So it took another two hours to thoroughly discuss how to deal with these deserters and bandits.

Not long after the meeting ended, Mu Yu and Wu Zhen received news from their confidantes.

They successfully killed most of the bandits, captured the rest, and rescued the caravan people.

There are less than a hundred bandits in this branch, and they have only recently arrived near Huangsha City, and there are more bandits coming here. Their goal is Yuanshan Town, which has risen in the past two years, and they want to rob Yuanshan Town , and then captured Huangsha City as a stronghold.

And all the gangsters added up, the number is definitely over ten thousand.

This is not a small trouble for Huangsha City, which has only about [-] people.

For Yuanshan Town, which has fewer people and no good terrain, it is even more a disaster.
