One person, one city, guarding the border for 30 years

Chapter 59 War God
The ninth day of June.

Qianqing Palace.

The coffin of the Great Zhou Emperor is parked here and has not been buried yet.

Li Zhuowan is here to guard the spirit.

Light footsteps came from behind her.

She didn't need to look back to know that it was two people.

Someone stood beside her and bowed down to the coffin.

After the brief ceremony, someone patted her gently.

"Zhuo Wan, my condolences."

"Ah."

Li Zhuowan nodded, but did not get up.

She recognized who it was, Wu Wang Li Chengqian, and Wu Wang Shizi Li Changzhi.

"Ugh!"

A sigh came from Li Changzhi's voice.

"Sister, don't be exhausted."

"I am fine."

Li Zhuowan shook her head lightly.

"That's fine, I'll accompany you."

Li Changzhi didn't get up either, and stayed by Li Zhuowan's side.

"Zhuo Wan, I'm going out first."

Li Chengqian stood up, saluted the coffin again, and then turned to leave.

"Ah."

Li Zhuowan still didn't get up.

The footsteps faded away.

The originally quiet atmosphere was even more silent now.

It seemed that he could even hear his own heartbeat.

Li Zhuowan didn't speak any more, and Li Changzhi also didn't speak, and stayed with her silently.

After a long time.

Li Zhuowan sighed softly, stood up, "Let's go."

"Ah."

Li Changzhi got up and followed behind Li Zhuowan.

The two walked out in silence.

After leaving the Qianqing Palace, Li Changzhi breathed a sigh of relief.

The atmosphere just now was too depressing.

He was a little out of breath.

"Sister, you have grown up!"

Only then did Li Changzhi see Li Zhuowan's current appearance clearly.

"It's almost as tall as me."

"Okay, you go back, I don't need your company."

Li Zhuowan is not in the mood to catch up with Li Changzhi.

"Where's Lu Yu?"

Li Changzhi thought of that boy and couldn't help asking.

"do not know."

Li Zhuowan's thoughts suddenly returned to five years ago, when the danger was more dangerous than now, but she was not afraid at all at that time.

Because there is that person.

"You didn't leave him?"

Li Changzhi was a little surprised.

"I can't keep him."

Li Zhuowan shook her head lightly, thinking how nice it would be if he was here?
"Even you can't keep him?"

Li Changzhi was quite sorry, "Then no one will be able to keep him. It's a pity that he can't be used by us with such a good skill."

"He is so proud, how could he be used by others?"

When Wan'er mentioned Lu Qingfan, she talked more, "He only does things according to his own preferences!"

"Yes."

Li Changzhi nodded in agreement, and then he suddenly turned his head and glanced at Li Zhuowan, "Sister, don't worry, although he is not here, I am here, and I will help you."

"Oh?"

Li Zhuowan was taken aback, "What will you do for me?"

"Whatever you do, I will help you."

Li Changzhi looked sincere, "Even if you go against the trend and even cause shocking waves, I will help you to the end!"

"is it?"

Li Zhuowan stared at Li Changzhi for a while, "Okay, I believe you."

……

……

a few days later.

When the emperor was buried, countless civilians took to the streets to see him off.

He has been in power for many years, eradicated evil, practiced benevolent government, and established the prosperous dynasty of the Great Zhou Dynasty!
People live well and naturally think of him well.

The ministers in Kyoto even went to the emperor's mausoleum in person to bow down and worship.

Countless princes and nobles are guarding the emperor's coffin.

There are also eminent monks and Taoists from various temples and temples, performing dozens of religious ceremonies in a row.

All of a sudden, the capital was empty of thousands of people, and almost everyone crowded around the imperial mausoleum to participate in this grand event.

The burial ceremony lasted for several days.

Kyoto gradually returned to calm.

People started their normal lives.

Officials also resumed their previous rhythm.

In the palace at this time, there was a sense of chilling in the calmness.

Like the moment of calm before the storm!

Hall of Supreme Harmony.

early morning.

Wu Lingzhao sat on the top seat and looked at the officials.

Beside her is a dragon chair.

empty.

At this time, no one dared to sit, and no one could sit.

The ministers stood at the bottom, bowing their heads slightly.

No one dared to look straight into the eyes of the Holy Queen!

"Holy Queen, the country cannot live without a king!"

Right Prime Minister Li Fulin stood up, "The most urgent thing is to establish a new monarch first, and then discuss state affairs!"

"Okay, tell me your opinion."

Wu Lingzhao glanced at Li Fulin and nodded slightly.

"I think King Qin is the most suitable candidate!"

Li Fulin straightened his back and raised his head, "The king of Qin is brave and brave. He managed Qinzhou to be rich and stable, and he is widely loved by the people."

"Ah."

Wu Lingzhao glanced at the officials again, "Who has a different opinion?"

"My minister has objections."

A person stood up behind Li Fulin.

His name is Wei Zhe, he is Yushi Zhongcheng, and he is responsible for supervising all officials.

"Master Wei, please speak."

Wu Lingzhao raised his hand.

"Weichen thinks King Zhao is the most suitable!"

Wei Zhe said: "King Zhao is wise and benevolent, and he has the legacy of the previous emperor. In Zhaozhou these years, people live and work in peace and contentment, and they don't pick up things on the road. It's all thanks to King Zhao."

"Okay, I see, who else has any objections?"

Wu Lingzhao nodded and looked at the officials.

"Reporting to the Holy Empress, King Qin and King Zhao are good candidates, but I have better candidates."

The head of civil servants, Shangguan Yao who stood at the front stood up.

"Oh?"

There was brilliance in Wu Lingzhao's eyes, "Quickly tell me?"

"My minister thinks Her Royal Highness is the most suitable."

Shangguan Yao said loudly: "The reason is very simple. Her Royal Highness is the only blood of the late emperor. No one has the qualifications except her!"

"what?"

"what?"

Shangguan Yao's words stunned all the ministers.

They even forgot that this was above the imperial court, and couldn't help but exclaim.

Both Li Fulin and Wei Zhe raised their heads, looked at Shangguan Yao's back, and began to think, thinking about it, they both lost their minds.

"Well, your proposal is very good!"

Wu Lingzhao nodded approvingly, she first expressed her attitude.

"Holy Empress! Absolutely not! This is against the ancestral system!"

Someone stood up.

"Yes, Holy Queen! There has never been such a precedent in the Great Zhou Dynasty for thousands of years!"

"Think twice, Holy Queen!"

"If a woman becomes emperor, it will ruin the country's fortunes!"

"If you don't agree with reason, the world will not tolerate it!"

More ministers stood up and expressed their opposition.

"To shut up!"

Wu Lingzhao yelled angrily, and shook his sleeves, "You are pedantic!"

The ministers were so frightened that they quickly shut up.

The Hall of Supreme Harmony instantly fell silent.

"General Li, what do you think?"

Wu Lingzhao looked at the head of the general, the man standing in front of the general.

Li Jing, the military god of the Great Zhou Dynasty!

He once expanded the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty and made countless military exploits!

Now he holds 80 soldiers!Defend Kyoto!
He is the Dinghaishenzhen of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty!
With him, the Great Zhou Dynasty will stand still!
Now, his words are worth the weight of all civil servants.

Because he can represent all generals.

As long as he speaks, all generals will listen!
"After returning to the Holy Spirit, I will support Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Li Jing turned his head, looked at the generals behind him, and shouted: "Who will we fight for from now on?"

"your Highness!"

All the generals responded in unison.

The sound was like thunder, shaking the entire Hall of Supreme Harmony.

All the civil servants were so frightened that their expressions changed and they bowed their heads in silence.
