The Heavens: From Knowing Whether You Rule the World

Chapter 66 Zhao Zongquan is my uncle!

On this day, the ceremony of enthroning the crown prince was held.

The emperor's favorite concubine, Concubine Rong, held a banquet and invited the women of Bianjing to the palace for a talk.

Tonight is destined to be restless.

Concubine Rong summoned the female family members into the palace in order to prevent the military generals from taking any action. This was an act of rebellion by Prince Yan, and she had only one purpose, which was to avenge her sister Rong Feiyan.

Half a year ago, the Duke of Qi was punished by Chu Hong.

Not long after this happened, Rong Feiyan and Princess Jiacheng, the daughter of Prince Yong, both fell in love with Qi Heng.

Prince Yong was also an arrogant person. The Duke of Qi's family was an old noble family. Although it was in decline now, it still had a little influence. Besides, the title of Duke's allegiance was indeed nice, and his daughter liked it.

So, King Yong simply kidnapped the Duke of Qi and threatened Qi Heng to sign the marriage certificate.

At that time, Chu Hong was wearing a purple robe, and Gu Tingye was a hero saving the beauty. He also happened to listen to Sheng Minglan's advice and chose to send his daughter back to Bian Jing, preparing to officially go to Yuzhou.

Gu Tingye came up with an idea based on the situation in Bianjing at that time. Gu Tingye and Qi Heng went to Prince Yong's Palace to snatch the person away.

Then, let Princess Pingning lower her status and personally ask Chu Hong to write a letter to the emperor to put pressure on him to remove Prince Yong's qualification to compete for the crown prince.

At that time, Prince Yan and Prince Yong were fighting each other. Once Prince Yan had something on Prince Yong, Prince Yan would definitely seize the opportunity and it was very likely that he would deprive Prince Yong of the chance to compete for the crown prince.

Qi Heng: Well, no choice.

His character was really too weak. Princess Yong said at that time: she had sent someone to destroy Rong Feiyan's innocence. Since she could destroy Rong Feiyan's innocence, she could also destroy Sheng Minglan's.

Maybe Qi Heng thought a lot, but he was too weak to gamble.

Just like that, Qi Heng and the Princess of Jiacheng County got their relationship done.

Concubine Rong in the palace was heartbroken, while Qi Heng of the Qi family was overjoyed at his wedding.

Minglan from the Sheng family was crying quietly, while the young master from Bian Jing was making love with her.

Rong Fei was heartbroken and naturally wanted to avenge her sister, and it just so happened that Prince Yan gave her such an opportunity.

Chu Hong knew that this rebellion would not be difficult.

Because the commander of the imperial guards was Rong Xian, Rong Fei's brother.
"Bu Mu, is that the puppy hole ahead?"

"My Lord, that's right! There are many dog ​​holes in the palace, but most of them have been blocked. This outermost one is the most strictly guarded, and there is only this one dog hole."

"Ah."

"Half a month ago, my cousin wrote to me saying that he had been assassinated and that he would be bringing my uncle to the capital to file a complaint. Calculating the time, should we be arriving in Bianjing?"

"My Lord, you are right. If we travel at full speed from Yuzhou to the capital, it will only take half a month."

"Ah."

Chu Hong sat quietly on an empty chair at the side of the restaurant, holding a cup of cold tea with his eyes slightly closed, listening to the smell of fireworks which was not affected much.

These common people didn't even feel the changes in the imperial city.

Although Chu Hong's tea was cold, his slightly trembling fingers showed that his heart was warm.

How could it not be hot? From today on, I will truly rise to the top
The gray sky seemed to merge with the ancient stone walls of the palace, and the dull and ominous atmosphere became increasingly intense.

Chu Hong felt inexplicably relaxed, quietly watching the people coming and going.

Suddenly I felt it was interesting!
A cup of tea and a table.

Chu Hong just sat there quietly drinking tea and waiting.

About half an hour later, two panicked figures crawled out of the hidden dog hole one after another.

One was wearing palace maid's clothes, and the other was wearing eunuch's clothes.

Chu Hong knew at a glance that these were his sister-in-law and the palace maid who was conferred the title of princess after her death.

Sheng Minglan's hair was loose, with a few strands of hair sticking to her sweat-soaked forehead. The hem of her clothes and her cuffs were covered with dirt and grass debris. She kept looking back, obviously worried about being discovered.

As soon as she crawled out of the dog hole, Sheng Minglan's first reaction was confusion, her second reaction was to run home, and her third reaction was confusion again.

The little palace maid who crawled out with her seemed to have an important mission. To leave the city, she naturally needed a carriage, but to get a carriage she had to go back to the Sheng family.

But, he couldn't go back. If he went back, he would definitely expose himself and the Sheng family, and he would be afraid that the soldiers who were chasing him would ransack his house and destroy his entire family.

Sheng Minglan was extremely confused and could only rush towards the city gate with the little palace maid.

"Minglan? Why are you here?" At this time, a steady and gentle voice sounded, and the man walked down from the teahouse like a savior.

"Brother-in-law?"

Sheng Minglan took a closer look and was immediately overjoyed. She quickly pulled the little palace maid forward and explained the whole story in a few words.

"Well, give me His Majesty's order!"

Chu Hong smiled slightly. He came to get the blood edict in person naturally with the intention of seeking credit.

However, no matter how much credit is sought, the sister-in-law and the little palace maid will not lose any of the benefits they deserve.

Even better!
This will is quite extraordinary.

This edict is the evidence of the new emperor's legitimate succession to the throne, and can be regarded as a pretext for launching a war.

The effects of this blood edict when it was delivered to him and when it was delivered to his sister-in-law were completely different.

In the original script, the sister-in-law's delivery of the blood edict was supposed to be a great achievement.

Unfortunately, she delivered the will amidst the chaos of war.

As a woman, she delivered the will from the midst of the rebellious army.

Although everyone knew that nothing had happened and they were safe and sound.

But, there are always people who think elsewhere.

In fact, this voice will become mainstream.

After all, there are still many jealous people.

In order to protect his reputation, he naturally could not tell anyone about his experience in rescuing the emperor.

Since she couldn't say it and she was a woman, the effectiveness of sending the will was naturally greatly reduced.

She was sent away with just a title of lady of honor.

What was given was really little.

But it’s not that Zhao Zongquan is stingy.

An imperial edict is almost the most important thing a woman can get.

Chu Hong is different. He is not only a junior cabinet minister, but also the emperor's nephew.

My sister-in-law couldn't even spread the news openly after she got the will.

He took the edict, and he was the one who gained the power from Longtou.

When things here are settled, he will also mention the matter of the little palace maid and sister-in-law delivering the imperial edict in front of Zhao Zongquan.

Just mentioning it once is enough.

Any bit of merit in saving the emperor is at least an imperial decree.

Moreover, Cheng Nei gave the letter to his eldest brother-in-law, and indirectly to Long, so this thing could be passed on secretly.

The little palace maid doesn't have to die, and the sister-in-law doesn't have to take any risks to get a little soup.

Sheng Minglan was full of joy.

The young maid was a little hesitant. This was the emperor's life-saving decree. What if it was a bad guy?
"Zhao Zongquan is my uncle!"

Chu Hong said one more sentence, and the little palace maid happily handed over the blood edict.

"Bumu, quietly take people to settle them down. Let them hide quietly in the manor. It's better to be safe than sorry. Sanqi, come out of the city with me!"

Chu Hong didn't hesitate at all and rode his horse towards the outside of the city.

During this period, he was in charge of city defense and deliberately replaced the garrison commander with General Xie who had suppressed the rebellion in Hangzhou.

Well, that idiot.

However, although they are idiots, they do not form factions.

It can be used at this time!
