Xiao Xiaoling sighed, bowed her head and said, "I should still have some status and reputation in Dongzhou now, and they won't make things difficult for you. Just trust her for the rest."

"Ah."

"Then, live well and don't die."

"I know."

Zhou Qingying smiled: "I still want to hear with my own ears how she will train me."

————————————————————————

The aftermath of Dongzhou is far bigger than imagined.

The emperor is dead, and no one is in charge of the overall situation. Although there are no casualties except the emperor, the houses and cottages are now being destroyed. Chaos is inevitable.

Those demon clans who were assassinating did not know how to deal with them at all. If they were killed, it would be morally unjustifiable. After all, Su Chan was there to help resist evil beasts and protect humans.And those people killed by the monster clan also came back alive under the treatment of the saint.

But if they were released, the crime of wreaking havoc on Dongzhou could not be justified.

What's more, His Majesty the Emperor is no longer around, and no one can make the final judgment.

The most urgent task at the moment...is to elect a person who can handle big things as soon as possible to deal with the aftermath.

The imperial power in Dongzhou has always been firmly in the hands of the royal family. Although the chief minister and general have the ability to discuss politics, they have no power to make decisions.Therefore, even if it is just a puppet, they must be pushed to the table.

After thinking about it, apart from the third prince who was doomed to miss the throne, and the fifth prince who was too young, there are only the eldest prince, the second prince, the fourth prince, and... two royal families from Dongzhou.

At noon, several high-ranking ministers in the court gathered several possible future princes in the court hall.

Without the participation of those two people from Dongzhou, today's crown prince selection should undoubtedly fall on the second prince's head.

Although the Dao faction insisted on not allowing the Empress to take power, the Dao faction had no choice but to bow its head when the hearts of the Great Emperor's people had fallen to such an extent.

But Dongzhou has a hero, a saint.

In addition to Su Chan, who is a demon clan, who rescued Dongzhou Rebellion, the rest of the credit can almost fall on the head of that saint.

Because of her secret treatment, Dongzhou's casualties were almost reduced to zero, and because of Fu Tianqing's appearance, the battle situation was reversed.

What's worse is that both of them came from the Fu family.

It was once established by General Fu Hanhai in Dongzhou 200 years ago to exile the family of defeated princes who "may pose a threat to the dynasty".

These two are the first batch of descendants who can return from Nanzhou as crown prince candidates, because their biological father is Long Wuyi's younger brother, so dragon blood is not rare, and it is not rare for the emperor's nephew to inherit the throne in history books. rare.

The four chief ministers and three generals of the Long Dynasty looked at the five princes sitting in the court hall, all of them showed embarrassment.

Let them choose... How can this be chosen?

It's not that His Majesty the Emperor hasn't appointed a candidate, the most secure one should be the eldest prince to inherit the throne.

But people's hearts, people's hearts, Dongzhou's most important cornerstone is people's hearts. If you want to stabilize the overall situation after the war, the most effective way is to elect a person who is enough to convince the people.

After discussing and discussing, several ministers still decided to test the tone of these few first.

"Then... the princes, I have called you here today to discuss major issues in the future."

The unknown fourth prince turned his head to look at Fu Tianqing, and shouted in surprise: "Wait, isn't this the hero who cut the spine of the beast? Why is he sitting here too?"

"Your Highness Fifth, he...is also a descendant of the royal family, and is qualified to compete with you for the throne."

Before the Fifth Prince could speak, the Eldest Prince was furious: "Father has already issued an oral order to entrust the throne to me before he was alive. Do you dare to disobey!?"

The civil servants showed embarrassment, but the generals didn't care about it, especially He Kui.

Because He Kui's eldest grandson was sent by the eldest prince, when the eldest prince said these words, he turned his attention to He Kui who had slapped him, but this performance made the veteran show a disdainful expression, and He Kui pulled out his face. He picked out his ears.

"Oral order? You can't see the imperial decree, you can't see the jade seal, so what's the point of your oral order?"

"You—He Kui, you are bold!!!"

"Brother, shut up."

The second prince smiled gracefully, turned his body gently, and looked at the two outsiders sitting on the last seat of the throne: "These two guests from Nanzhou have made great contributions to this battle. In terms of popular support, they are far greater than you and me. According to the rule that the father who wins the hearts of the people wins the world, this battle for the crown prince should have been a matter between the two of them. The three of you and I have the cheek to sneak in here with the blood left by the father, or keep your voice down. good."

"You are so bold!!! Long Chaolu!!!"

The eldest prince's yelling caused the fourth prince to roll his eyes.

The fourth prince lay down on the chair and raised his hand: "I'm not interested in the throne, I just look at that elder brother who is very pleasing to the eye, and I am very comfortable with such a hero becoming the emperor in the future. If I have to vote for the emperor in the future, I will Vote for him."

The second prince looked at Hang Yanling with a smile: "This sage protects Dongzhou, and she is worthy of the name of a sage. If I want to choose, I will choose her as the emperor. Helping me wholeheartedly, it will be considered fulfilling. My third sister and I want to see an empress." desire."

Seeing that his younger siblings didn't speak for him, the eldest prince turned to the two "outsiders" instead, and his face blushed uncontrollably.

"Rebellious, you are all rebellious! You are not worthy to be the children of the emperor, what do you take the will of the emperor for!?"

"Speaking of which, the last person Father saw was Eldest Brother, right? Then it is unknown if Eldest Brother obstructed Father's death?"

The second prince sealed the eldest prince's mouth with one sentence.

Hang Yanling watched the farce, shook his head boredly, and turned to look at Fu Tianqing.

"what do you say?"

Fu Tianqing scratched her head: "It's up to you, I'll let you decide on major matters."

Seeing this, the fourth prince slapped his hands and shouted: "Then there is no need to discuss this matter, the younger sister of the saint is the most respected in the audience, so let her be the emperor?"

Several ministers couldn't laugh or cry, and quickly changed their words; "The selection of the new emperor is a matter of great importance, and it is suitable to discuss it at another day. Now we just need to find a few people to discuss... what will happen after the discussion..."

"What happened after that?"

"Yes, for example..."

A civil servant lowered his head and cupped his hands deeply.

"How to deal with that rebellious princess...Long Chaohua's life and death."

Chapter 71 Disposal of Longchaohua

"What else is there to discuss? First she assassinated the emperor, and then turned into a beast to run amok in Dongzhou. If these wicked women are not eliminated, Dongzhou will never have peace."

The eldest prince sternly reprimanded, and the fourth prince also echoed: "Su Chan's resentment is too terrifying... I don't want to continue to stay in Dongzhou with that kind of threat. She should have been killed long ago."

The two male princes of the Long family present reached an agreement, and the second prince also said flatly at this time: "Although I was an alliance with the third sister, what she did was too crazy, and if she stays for a long time, it may cause serious trouble... I agree with elder brother's opinion, but—"

She paused for a moment, then turned her attention to Hang Yanling and the two of them: "Since these two distinguished guests from Nanzhou have the opportunity to become the people who can influence the future of Dongzhou, and they subdued the monster single-handedly, I think it is better than the three of us , the right to speak of these two should be more important."

Originally, the three Long brothers and sisters had reached a consensus, but this matter was not decided by voting after all. The second prince threw the conversation to Hang Yanling, expecting her reaction.

Hang Yanling was silent for a moment, and Fu Tianqing who was beside her gently pushed her.

"How to say?"

"'I' don't want her dead."

"Yeah, I got it."

Fu Tianqing nodded when he heard the words, the young man was silent for a moment, opened his dark golden eyes to look at civil servants and military generals, and said loudly: "In the past, His Majesty governed the country not only by his personal prowess, but also by strict laws and regulations. Since no one can promulgate the imperial decree now, we should judge the crime according to the law."

The four civil servants looked at the young man from Nanzhou in surprise. They didn't expect that this barbaric prince who was born in such a lawless place in Nanzhou would talk about the law of the country.

This kind of behavior is very popular among civil servants, one of them hastily said: "Please tell me your opinion, Mr. Fu."

"If I remember correctly, His Majesty once said that during the struggle for the heir, everything is allowed - the real culprit who assassinated His Majesty was someone else, which is not enough to be considered a serious crime of treason, and the rest of the behavior can only be said to be due to the lack of power of the Dragon Dynasty. There is a ugliness in this battle of the emperor's heirs... If it hurts human life, I am afraid there will be other laws to deal with it, but now no one has died in this battle of the emperor's heirs, then... I don't think Long Chaohua can be called a' Breaking the law' should be 'losing'."

"What does this mean?"

Seeing Wen Chen hesitate, Fu Tianqing stood up from her seat.

"Let me go a little further—you also know that my identity as a royal family is only known by witnessing the phantom of Queen Lifei 300 years ago, which remains on the leylines. From her mouth, apart from my identity, I also know Know the reason for our paying family."

"Our Fu family was originally established by General Fu Hanhai who resigned his official position 200 years ago and traveled far to Nanzhou. It seems to be the place where General Fu retreated, but the actual function should be clear to everyone-it is the exile of the defeated prince. place."

"The people who are able to stand here today are all high-ranking and powerful people, and what I'm going to say next is naturally not a secret to you."

"After the Emperor's Heir War is over, in order to perpetuate the peace of the Dragon Dynasty, and because of the principle that dragon descendants cannot kill each other, His Majesty will exile those who still have ambitions to the Fu family in Nanzhou—such as my father, Fu Qingzhong."

"This is the rule of the past dynasties, and Long Chaohua, the defeated prince who messed up, my cousin, should follow the rules of Dongzhou as it should be... She should be my father like my father. Part of the Fu family."

Fu Tianqing's words were sonorous and forceful, and all the ministers started talking about it.

To be honest, they agreed with Fu Tianqing's statement.

Because Zhou Qingying was convicted of Long Chaohua's treason charge, there is no way to confirm her. Besides, both the time for committing the crime and the lack of evidence are quite lacking... At the beginning, it was too hasty and there was no time to prepare. After careful investigation, the case will definitely be overturned.

Even if he was to kill her for the crime of causing trouble to the imperial capital, but... would he really be able to kill her?

No one knew why Long Chaohua lost control that day, surpassing the scheduled death time, and now she finally turned back. If her illness kills her, what should she do if she goes crazy again?

This incident had already entrusted Su Chan with a big face in Baiyou. Dongzhou hadn't finished recuperating yet, but he couldn't stand the attack of the monstrous flames again.

The best way to deal with it is naturally to throw this curse out, whether it is in the northern state or the southern state.

Now that Fu Tianqing intended to take the initiative to catch this hot potato, the civil servants were so moved that they wished they could push him on the Dragon Throne and let him live the addiction of being emperor first.

Seeing the gestures of consent from the ministers, the First Prince felt a burst of anxiety.

If Long Chaohua is still alive, it is possible to overturn the case, not to mention that if she does, the part of the curse lurking in the leylines will disappear.

……

If this curse continues, I won't be emperor for a few more years!

是 的

To this day, the First Prince Long Chaochen still does not think that these few people will pose a threat to his destined throne.

The second prince is just a girl, without any achievements.

The fourth prince's mind is not at all on being an emperor.

And those two outsiders... Are you kidding, they are not even His Majesty's children!

"No, this matter must be decided by the head of the Fu family."

Long Zhaochen patted the armrest of the chair and looked at Fu Tianqing.

"This cousin of mine is still too young to realize how much of a threat my unworthy sister is. As an elder brother, my sister is unworthy. I have the responsibility to personally execute this wicked girl."

"Shut up, I'm warning you!"

Fu Tianqing, who was originally calm and calm, suddenly blushed, the dark gold in his eyes flickered, and his face turned red.

Guiltily, he turned his head and glanced at Hang Yanling who was sitting on the chair, and coughed: "Then what, my sister went astray because my brother didn't fulfill her duty, so according to what you said, you should punish yourself first, don't worry about it." Everything is being suppressed by the elder brother's status, think about what you are before talking about others."

In this majestic hall, Fu Tianqing, who was still polite just now, suddenly swears.

He Kui was the first one who didn't tense up. He turned his face away with a puff, covered his stomach and laughed out loud, not intending to save face for the First Prince at all.

Chu Zhenhai was originally determined to execute Long Chaohua's faction, and in a sense he was on the same side as the eldest prince, but he himself was a soldier who respected Fu Hanhai's descendants, listening to this young master of the Fu family jumping Swearing, I couldn't help twitching the corner of my mouth.

Although Zhu Jianxiao was a military officer, his military advisor was also considered a half-literate man. He frowned displeasedly along with the other civil servants.

The fourth prince directly applauded.

"Well said! I recognize your cousin!!! I will call you big brother from now on!!"

The second prince also narrowed his eyes, and dragged his voice: "Your cousin taught me the right thing. I didn't discipline my sister well. Of course, it's because we are brothers and sisters. It's just that the palace is not as free as you, even if you are the same father. Brother and sister, there are many inconveniences in contact with each other."

Seeing that the situation was out of control, the First Prince snorted coldly.

"Cousin, you came from afar, and we are blood relatives. I didn't want to refute your face-but you are so arrogant to speak for the Fu family, isn't it a little bit of an overreach? Today's Fu family Patriarch, it seems that it is not you."

"Ok?"

Fu Tianqing hummed, and the First Prince raised his eyebrows.

"Since that's the case, let the real Patriarch of the Fu family come forward and talk about it.",

He snapped his fingers, and a figure walked out of the hall, walked slowly through the hall, passed through several civil servants and generals, walked to Fu Tianqing's side, and saluted the First Prince.

"Your Highness, did you summon me?"

Fu Tianqing looked at the person who was called out by the first prince, her eyes were wide open, and she froze in place.

Seeing that Fu Tianqing froze, the eldest prince couldn't help laughing: "Cousin, so you Nanzhou people don't salute when you see your eldest brother? This is the head of your Fu family. Your eldest brother, what's wrong?" , Brothers meet, do you have a different mood?"

Fu Tianying also turned around with a smile, looked at Fu Tianqing, and put her hand on Fu Tianqing's head: "Long time no see, brother, you have grown up a lot."

Gentle and hearty, just like an upright brother.

Fu Tianqing didn't speak, she lowered her head in silence and didn't move.

Seeing that Fu Tianqing's arrogant arrogance just now was completely overwhelmed by Fu Tianying, the eldest prince's voice became louder: "Let me introduce to you, this is the eldest son of the Fu family, and also the head of the contemporary Fu family... and also ours." My cousin, Fu Tianying, came to Dongzhou a few months ago and received a reward from my father. He is the head of the Fu family appointed by His Majesty."
