Emperors of the Heavens: Summon the Governor of the East Factory at the beginning

Chapter 5 Chu Yuan’s situation and developments from all parties

This urging immediately brought Zhou Qi back to his senses. Seeing Zhou Jingxuan's face, he didn't know that the other party might have misunderstood.

"Don't worry, the prince is fine."

Zhou Qi spoke, but he did not elaborate, and then said hesitantly:
"Xuan'er, the prince just asked Butler Mo to tell me that there is no need to worry about Guan's marriage to you. He will take care of it."

"But I hear what he means. I'm afraid the prince wants to take action against the Ninth Prince!"

After the court just now, Mo Beiheng, the steward of the Zhenbei Palace, stopped Zhou Qi, and then conveyed Chu Yuan's meaning to him.

There will be no more Ninth Prince in the future. Doesn’t this mean that he will attack Jiang Ran?
I have to say that King Zhenbei is so courageous!
"What... what?"

Zhou Jingxuan, who had gradually felt relieved after receiving the news that Chu Yuan was fine, now slightly raised her head again and looked at Zhou Qi in a daze, as if she didn't react.

It wasn't until Zhou Qi repeated what he just said again that Zhou Jingxuan realized that she had not heard any hallucinations just now.

how can that be!

That was a prince, not an ordinary official. Chu Yuan actually dared to deal with a prince.

Zhou Jingxuan felt a huge sense of fear surrounding her, and her mind was filled with images of the emperor being furious and Chu Yuan being killed.

"Sir, no matter how powerful the King of Zhenbei is, he is still just a king in the end. How can he dare to take action against the prince?"

Ms. Zhang on the side frowned. She easily felt the meaning of Zhou Qi's words, so she asked with some confusion.

Although King Zhenbei is the successor of the king, in the final analysis, the new emperor does not want to see him, and even has a grudge against the existence of kings with different surnames in the dynasty.

This can be seen from the fiefdoms of King Jiang Hong of Zhen and King Jiang Dinglin of An Ding.

One of these two princes is the emperor's uncle, a powerful man at the peak of the heavenly realm, commanding 50 national troops and stationed in Cangzhou.

The other is the younger brother of the current emperor, commanding an army of 20 and sitting in Yunchuan County, Yunzhou!
The two princes moved east and west, and together with the pass of Jubei City, they firmly blocked the power of the Zhenbei Palace from developing southward.

Even though Chu Yuan has worked hard to develop since he came to the throne, he has only secretly controlled the three counties of Yunzhou. King Zhenbei has no good solution to the blockade of these two princes!
Unless King Zhenbei desperately attacks with a large army, he will have a chance to break through this blockade.

As for the unpopular King of Zhenbei, apart from his military strength, his power in the court is probably not comparable to that of the Zhou family today.

It's fine if the new emperor doesn't bother him.

Chu Yuan actually chose to attack a prince because of the marriage granted by the emperor. How is this possible?

What confidence does King Zhenbei have to dare to do this?

Not only can it ensure that he can escape unharmed when the time comes, but it can also prevent the new emperor from pursuing the whereabouts of a prince?

Even Zhou Jingxuan couldn't figure out the logic of this matter.

Her eyes couldn't help but look in the direction of Zhenbei Palace.

On one side is the supreme imperial power, and on the other side is the only prince with a different surname in the Zhenbei Palace, whom she cares deeply about. How can this make her feel calm?
"Don't worry about it, Your Majesty. King Zhenbei has been able to stand in the Da Cang Dynasty for thousands of years. He obviously has an amazing background."

"Your Majesty wants to touch King Zhenbei, but it's not that easy!"

Seeing the worried expressions on both of them, Zhou Qi quickly spoke to comfort them.

Then, before the two of them could speak, he spoke again: "But I do think that the Ninth Prince is the one who is most anxious now. After all, he was the one who brought up the cause of this matter."

"The current situation must be a headache for him, right? I don't know why the Prime Minister agreed to this. Could it be His Majesty..."

Thinking deeply, Zhou Qi quickly came to his senses and did not dare to think about it any more.

He is just the Minister of Rites, and it is not for him to guess what His Majesty has in mind.

Now we can only wait and see how things will develop next!
…………

"It seems that King Zhenbei is determined to compete with the imperial power!"

In the Imperial Capital, in Prince Liang's Mansion, two figures in luxurious clothes stood facing each other.

This is none other than the Ninth Prince Jiang Ran and his personal eunuch, Wei Song!
"Your Highness, do you really plan to marry Miss Zhou? King Zhenbei is not easy to mess with!"

Wei Song's eyes were full of worry. No matter how unpopular the King of Zhenbei was, he was still the powerful prince who controlled the military!
Moreover, he is also the most powerful king of different surnames among the powerful princes. The Zhenbei Army plus the frontier army of the three states of Northern Xinjiang has a total of 200 million troops!

You must know that even the entire court, excluding the forbidden troops, can only have a strength of about 1000 million.

However, the King of Zhenbei held one-fifth of the military power of the court. With such power, his master was nothing more than a prince with no real power. At most, he was just his Majesty's son.

How can it be compared with the most powerful King Zhenbei among the kings of Da Cang!

"This matter is no longer under my control!"

I saw Jiang Ran say something lightly.

"Ah? Why is this?"

Jiang Ran didn't continue to answer Wei Song's question, but smiled helplessly and looked at Wei Song.

"Father's imperial edict of marriage has been passed down. The wedding date will be in three months. You should send someone to make arrangements now and prepare the matter with the palace at that time!"

After saying that, Jiang Ran turned around and left with a quick stride.

"Now?"

Looking at Jiang Ran's leaving figure, until the other party completely disappeared from his sight, Wei Song withdrew his gaze and respectfully responded: "Yes."

…………

At the same time, in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhang Yuanbo was listening to the report from his subordinates.

"Master Prime Minister, the matter you ordered me has been completed, and I have secretly sent people to monitor the other party. No matter what they do, I will receive the news!"

A man in black robe bowed and saluted, and then said to the old man in green robe on the main seat.

Putting down the tea cup in his hand, Zhang Yuanbo sighed, then waved his hand and told the man in black robe: "This matter must be kept secret. No one else can know except you and me, otherwise, you should know the consequences! "

"Please rest assured, Prime Minister, I handled this matter personally. No one else will know about it. Even those people sent to monitor later do not know the specific situation!"

Seeing Zhang Yuanbo's sharp eyes looking at him like a knife, Zuo Yang couldn't help but sweat secretly, for fear that the Prime Minister would take action against him in order to silence him!

Fortunately, Zhang Yuanbo did not take action in the end. He just asked Zuo Yang to try not to go out in the next period of time, and then waved Zuo Yang away from the Prime Minister's Mansion.

After Zuo Yang left, Zhang Yuanbo stood up from his seat and came to the door of the study. Looking at the prosperous scene of the capital in the distance, he couldn't help but sigh: "It's such a prosperous and prosperous era, but I don't know how long this peaceful and peaceful scene can last! "

"King Zhenbei, what a pity..."
