Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

Chapter 1848: The Battle for the Throne, Xu Nu Enters the Palace

Wang Yu acted quickly. Taibai appeared in the daytime and the strange phenomenon in the sky happened in the morning. However, within half an hour, the imperial edict regarding this strange phenomenon had been issued and quickly spread to all directions.

By the evening of that day, everyone in the capital knew about it.

There are many well-informed people in the palace. As the queen, Huangfu Jingya naturally knew about such big news very early.

Not only her, Huangfu Yuwei and Dongfang Xueruo knew everything.

"An unusual phenomenon has appeared in the sky. The Lord and Lady Zhuchang should be in the Golden Horde court of Helian Mingzhu. It's quite interesting." Huangfu Yuwei said to the remaining two people present after hearing the news brought back by the maid Hongye.

Huangfu Jingya said: "The appearance of Taibai in the daytime is not a good sign, but in your majesty's mouth, it became a boost to promote the marriage with the Golden Horde. It is indeed a very good method."

The importance of a marriage with the Golden Horde, anyone with a little vision can understand the interests involved.

This is a win-win situation for both families.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have progressed so smoothly.

"Although that guy is rebellious, he has great prestige and most of the important officials in the court are his confidants. As long as it is in line with the country's major policies, whatever he says is what he will do!" Huangfu Yuwei said with a slightly cold expression.

Dongfang Xueruo and Huangfu Jingya pretended not to hear some of the words in Huangfu Yuwei's words. Even if Huangfu Yuwei was pointing at Wang Yu's nose and scolding him in front of him, it did not mean that others had the right to disrespect Wang Yu.

At least, the two of them are not qualified.

"Princess Zhaole was conferred the title of Imperial Noble Consort as soon as she entered the palace. I'm afraid..." Dongfang Xueruo sighed.

Although he didn't continue talking, the two people who came from the palace understood his meaning.

Even the Imperial Noble Consort is only half a level lower than the Empress. There was already one Imperial Noble Consort, and now there is one more. The most important thing is that the family of this new Imperial Noble Consort is extremely powerful, which is definitely not comparable to the family behind the current Huangfu Jingya.

For concubines, a powerful family would certainly affect their status in the palace. With a powerful family, no matter whether the emperor likes the concubine or not, he must show his love for her.

Although they are all women, it can be seen that the other party's family behind them is powerful and will continue to be powerful.

If the marriage was with a force like Zhenxi Prefecture instead of the Golden Horde, if Wang Yu attacked one day, this power would be nothing but a bubble, and the so-called imperial concubine would also fall from grace in the palace.

But the Golden Horde is definitely not such a concept!
As a giant force on the grassland, who can destroy it easily? Not even the dynasty!
You have to know, after the Jinzang royal court established the dynasty, how did it fall apart during its most prosperous period?

That is the result of the seven dynasties joining forces!
But even if the seven dynasties joined forces, they were still not destroyed and were still one of the two most powerful forces in the grassland.

Although the Golden Horde now has a powerful enemy in the Tuoba tribe, they themselves are in their heyday for nearly a hundred years.

Among the three famous generals of Northern Di, two of them were from the Golden Horde, Helian Pingluan and Hubushi, plus Tuoba Zongzhen of the Tuoba tribe. These three people are not only recognized famous generals of Northern Di, but also the presence that cannot be ignored in the Central Plains.

Back then, when Murong Yuan was still alive, he also suffered a lot at the hands of Hu Bushi.

Helian Wucai, a member of the royal family, and Zhou Ziya, the prime minister, were both shrewd and calculating people, and were relied upon by Helian Xuan.

As the elite of the Golden Horde, the Rokko Army once struck fear into the hearts of countless people and was the signature of the Golden Horde.

And inside the Golden Horde court, there are countless brave warriors.

Helian Xiaoyue, Wu Xingchao, Pei Bing, Pa Song, Chi Miyang, Lian Zhan, and Qi Feng were all once famous generals of Beidi. The first five in particular were masters who had once been on the Four Directions Demon List.

In recent years, the emergence of Bris Ouripontide, Princeque, Hongmanman and Xinghuandan have also begun to make a name for themselves.

Moreover, they were assisted by Qin Shi, Bai Xiang and Yun Cheng from the Central Plains. Although these three people were notorious in the Central Plains, they were able to escape the pursuit of Confucianism, Buddhism and the Daqian Dynasty, which showed their strength.

Not to mention, the Golden Horde itself has the Cult of the Titans as its arm.

No matter from which perspective, the Golden Horde is now the number one force in the Northern Di.

If it weren't for the impact of the previous snowstorm, and if their archenemy Tuoba had knocked on one of the gates to the north of the town, they wouldn't have needed to look outside for allies.

"Even though Princess Zhaole has an honorable status after entering the palace, she is born in Beidi after all. It will be more difficult for her to fight for the throne. In the current situation, it is still the Bai family!" Huangfu Yuwei said with some sigh.

In fact, when Huangfu Yuwei first got married, the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was still acceptable. But now, it has fallen to the point of calculating against each other.

In Huangfu Yuwei's opinion, compared to Princess Zhaole, Bai Ruolan is Huangfu Jingya's biggest enemy.

The marriage between two countries is no joke, and it will take at least half a year to complete all the procedures.

Even if it was faster, it would still take at least two years for Princess Zhaole to give birth to a child. Moreover, it could be guaranteed that the child would be a boy!

Furthermore, it is not that the princes with Northern Di blood cannot compete for the throne, nor is it that they cannot ascend to the throne. It’s just that the difficulty is naturally doubled compared to other princes.

Therefore, it is still too early to consider Princess Zhaole at this time.

"Aunt, do you have any plan?"

Regardless of Huangfu Jingya's attitude towards Wang Yu, her last thought now is Wang Zhi. She compromised for this very reason.

However, not only was Wang Yuan named King of Yan, but he also appointed Zhuge Liang as his personal teacher, which made her feel threatened.

Huangfu Yuwei sighed as she looked at her niece who had been through hardships and worries over the years. Huangfu Jingya should not have to endure all this, but she did have the blood of the Huangfu family in her body.

"Your Majesty has selected a girl, Xiao Xu, no, it should be Xu Qing, the daughter of the Xu family, who may be able to enter the palace!" Huangfu Yuwei sighed softly.

"Royal sister, this is a great plan!" Dongfang Xuerou's eyes suddenly lit up. Huangfu Jingya has a certain disadvantage compared to Bai Ruolan, and the bloodline of the Huangfu family is her disadvantage.

However, this is also her advantage. In the future, if the Tathagata of Hexi Road, or the likes of Prince Jing and Prince Wei are in decline, Huangfu Yuwei and Dongfang Xuerou will naturally be able to attract a large number of Huangfu family forces.

Even now, Huang Yusheng of the Worship Hall still had to give them some face. If he had to choose between Huangfu Jingya and Bai Ruolan, Huang Yusheng would definitely be more inclined to lean towards Huangfu Jingya.

In addition, Huangfu Jingya has many advantages that Bai Ruolan does not have.

For example, Huangfu Jingya does have the support of Wang Chang and Huangfu Yuwei.

Wang Chang might not be a person who would absolutely keep his promises, but he was definitely not a person who would break his promises at will. Especially this kind of promise that didn't need to be broken. Since he had made it, there was no need for him to break it.

After all, for Wang Chang, if he wanted to accomplish that thing, even if he was not allowed to make this promise, he had countless ways to achieve the final goal.

The reason why he dared to make this promise at that time was not because of Huangfu Jingya and the marriage itself, but simply for Huangfu Yuwei.

Wang Chang's support also represents Zhao Anling, Kuai Liang, Xiao Dong, Lei Wanjun, Mo Peng and others. However, it is impossible for these people to stand up and support Wang Zhi openly.

After all, their identities were too special, so only Kuai Liang could express his attitude when necessary. The rest had to avoid suspicion.

Although the power of Xiao Dong, Lei Wanjun, Mo Peng and others is no longer comparable to what it was before, they are at least marching generals and hold a certain amount of military power.

When the previous emperor Da Cang was alive, the princes could not and dared not make friends with the sons of the general's mansion, and even deliberately worsened the relationship. Most of them basically maintained a normal attitude, not deliberately making friends, nor provoking them.

Because, for a prince, he can fight for anything except military power, and he cannot even express his thoughts. Especially for a man as talented as the previous emperor of Da Cang, this kind of thing is more likely to touch the most sensitive thorn in their hearts.

Be it Emperor Da Cang or Wang Chang, they were both extremely taboo about what happened back then. Both of them wanted those things to be buried in the dust of history and never be mentioned by others.

Firstly, in the process of ascending to the top, the two of them did use all kinds of sinister and vicious means, and broke all kinds of limits. For a person in a high position, he still has to maintain a bright and majestic image on the surface, and naturally does not want others to know about his stains, even the closest people.

Secondly, they also don’t want their next generation to follow suit.

As for the army, if a prince can control a certain amount of troops, then the probability of imitating others will skyrocket. It is precisely because of this that, generally speaking, the army is the bottom line of the emperor for a prince.

Without an army, no matter how he jumped around, he would still be under control to a certain extent. But if he had an army, there would be no guarantee of what he could do.

Therefore, Xiao Dong, Lei Wanjun, Mo Peng and others would never reveal their idea of ​​forming a team. Especially at this time, the emperor is at the peak of his power. However, this is also a potential support force after all.

It's a pity that since the disbanding and reorganization of the Zhendong Army, the power and status of people like Xiao Dong, Lei Wanjun and Mo Peng are far less than before.

Furthermore, Wang Chang's support not only represents Xiao Dong, Lei Wanjun, and Mo Peng, but also the other old officials of Zhendong who are of second-rate status. The attitudes of these people do not matter.

In addition, the power of the Dongfang family can also become a supporter of Huangfu Jingya.

After all, the two Dongfang family members who entered the palace were only adopted daughters. Whether it was Ye Wanqing or Xiao Meiniang, their relationship with the Dongfang family was not as close as that of Huangfu Jingya.

Even in the palace, Ye Wanqing and Xiao Meiniang naturally had to stand on Huangfu Jingya's side.

Therefore, Huangfu Jingya does have great advantages in all aspects.

Huangfu Yuwei wanted to send Xu Qing into the palace in order to remove Bai Ruolan's support.

Bai Ruolan's advantage is nothing more than that her father is the former Minister of Rites of Da Cang. Although Bai Shang himself does not have a good background, he has accumulated a group of disciples after many years as the Minister of Rites.

It’s a pity that these people are all officials of the old dynasty, and it is difficult for them to provide real help to Bai Ruolan.

Therefore, the only person she could really rely on was her mother, the Xu family, who was born into one of the six great families.

The Xu family must have made a judgment on whether they favor their daughter or their niece. Are they willing to give up their daughter and fully support their niece?
"But Xu Qing is already married!" Huangfu Jingya exclaimed.

After all, she was not as deep-minded as Huangfu Yuwei, and she obviously had not seen through Huangfu Yuwei's purpose of choosing Xu Qing instead of other Xu's daughters.

"So what! In my Da Cang, it's normal for a husband to remarry after his husband's death and a wife to remarry after her husband's death!" Huangfu Yuwei said, not caring at all.

Da Cang was an open-minded place, from the king to the Li Shu, and they really didn't take this matter seriously. But in Wu, it was quite strict in this regard, and remarrying after the husband's death was criticized in etiquette and law, and was often regarded as unfaithful.

However, this is not Wudi! This kind of thing is really not a big deal in Cangdi.

Xu Qing was promised to the Xiao family of Hedong in her early years, but her husband died in the battle of Hedong.

It was precisely because of her status as a widow that even though she was the legitimate daughter of the Xu family, after entering the palace, the threat she posed to Huangfu Jingya was much smaller than that posed by other legitimate daughters of the Xu family.

Moreover, it can also disperse Xu's support for Bai Ruolan, so why not do it?
Besides, Xu Qing is now in the Hedong Xiao Clan, and Huangfu Yuwei and Dongfang Xuerou can control her. With Dongfang Yu here, these things are not a problem!
If this person cannot become the target candidate, the two of them will not be able to find a legitimate daughter from the Xu family, one of the six major families, to enter the palace.

Now they have limited influence on the Xu family located in Hexi Road.

"Ms. Xu is a beauty with an appearance that can captivate a country or a city. Even if she is a widow, Your Majesty will not refuse her!" Dongfang Xueruo also nodded.

As one of the five beauties, Xu Qing was naturally not bad in appearance. And as an emperor, there was no need to refuse the daughter of one of the six great families from entering the palace.

However, it is still a bit strange for a person who is so beautiful herself to say that another person who is not as pretty as her is also so beautiful!

Dongfang Xuerou's beauty was famous all over the world back then. Xu Qing, Huangfu Jingya, and Bai Ruolan were good, but compared to her, they still lost a bit of charm.
