Chapter 474 The Second Empress
When attending court, Zhu Mingbo told the ministers the news of Yu Tingfeng's murder.
One stone can cause a thousand ripples.
Almost no one believes it, but this is true.
Zhu Mingbo carried the corpses directly into the main hall.
He thought, since I say it is and you say it is not, then just check it yourself.
Someone dared to lift one of the white cloths, and the corpses on the surface were so terrifying that people were terrified.
It was originally burned to death, and then fell into the water, where it soaked for quite some time. Now its surface is charred and cracked, with red, black, and white flesh and tissues visible in the cracks. In addition, it will take some time to be transported here, and even though ice was used, it has already started to stink.
Anyway, it was really shocking, and some people couldn't help but even ran out of the hall to vomit.
This was the work area of several officials in charge of criminal justice and inspection. They were quite brave and went forward to check it out.
These people were burned to death, and they were burned alive, because their bodies were curled up and there was smoke and dust in their throats and nasal cavities.
The bodies had different shapes, different degrees of burning, and different locations, which proved that everyone was in different places at the time.
Only one was in a kneeling position, with his head lowered and his arms folded.
Everyone knew that this should be Yu Tingfeng, and what he was hugging should be Feng Aoqing's white jade coffin.
Others can also be more or less recognized.
There was a corpse with one foot that was not burned, and it was wearing Lengyan Army boots. I think it was Yu Mingchang.
There was a trace of a necklace on the neck of one of the bodies, I think it was Siyan.
The only body that everyone can basically confirm is Feng Aoqing's.
Because she was wearing the bracelet on her wrist that could only be worn by the empresses of the Yuanwu Dynasty, and it couldn't be fake.
So, some people began to analyze that if Yu Tingfeng had not been in trouble, he would not have ignored Feng Aoqing, and would not have allowed her coffin to fall into the river and not be salvaged for a long time, and then be eaten by fish. This is absolutely impossible.
So the situation where Yu Tingfeng was burned to death might be true.
After this analysis, everyone began to believe that this was true, and if it were not true, he should have appeared.
Yu Tingfeng was no longer important at this time. What everyone was thinking about was who would be the emperor of Yuanwu.
Zhu Mingbo invited Princess Qinyi out.
When everyone saw Princess Qinyi in court dress walking out of the inner room, many people understood.
"Yu Jingrong! You did this, didn't you? I didn't see that! You actually killed your brother and seized the throne! This is truly treasonous!"
"Do you think you're the only one with the surname Yu? Prince Yu is still around! Even if Prince Yu is old, there's still Prince Wen Yu! It won't be your turn anytime soon!"
"That's right! How can a woman be the emperor?!"
......
Naturally, the court officials were still divided into two factions, one supporting and the other opposing. There were not many people opposing, because Zhu Mingbo had already dealt with a group of them before.
"Have you forgotten that the one lying down there is also the Empress? If she can do it, why can't I?"
Qinyi pointed at Feng Aoqing's body below.
Everyone then remembered that this empress had informed Kyushu.
"That's a small country! How can you control our great country?"
"I am the orthodox one, and how can my status be compared to Wen Yu's? Yuanwu Jiuzhou is the most powerful. Of course, we can't rely on one person, but on everyone here, and everyone working together. Since everyone is here, it doesn't matter who sits in this position."
"If a woman sits, it will only make you sad for a while. If you find someone who is incompetent to sit, the sadness will last for a long time!"
"As Yuan Wu prospers, more people will covet the throne. If you don't complete the succession quickly, can you stop Zhao Jing and the five surrounding countries together?"
Qin Yi was extremely imposing at this time.
Everyone began to think about the question she raised.
Some do it for the country, some do it for themselves.
In fact, the court officials were all very clear that their opposition was very weak.
It is hard to find fish with long legs, but there are many people with two legs, and there are also many talented people. If you don't want to be an official, there will naturally be many people who want to squeeze in. It doesn't matter who becomes the emperor, as long as they are given salaries and power.
Soon, Qin Yi and Zhu Mingbo discovered that these people who opposed it, for some unknown reason, seemed to have come to their senses overnight and stopped opposing it.
He was planning to kill a group of people to scare them away, but they didn't give him the chance.
Just figure it out.
The empress of Yuanwu is about to be born.
The two were very anxious and planned to hold the succession ceremony and the wedding ceremony together, so as to save a lot of trouble.
Zhu Mingbo was not stupid either. Because everything went so smoothly, he became even more worried, fearing that they would take action on the day of the ceremony.
So, just in case, he mobilized all the troops he could and ordered the defenders of the four cities surrounding Wudu to gather around the capital.
Yu Tingfeng's most loyal Leng Yan Army could not be killed directly, as this would cause dissatisfaction among the court officials, so Zhu Mingbo trapped them in a remote camp and sent them to the border town after the ceremony was over.
......
Yu Tingfeng took Feng Aoqing back to Wudu.
He originally wanted An Jinge to take her back to Zhaojing Yilan City first. Mo Beiyuan and Zhaojing's army had already arrived, so it was safe there anyway.
How could Feng Aoqing agree? She insisted on going back with him.
It is much easier to act as a group of people.
Except for Yu Tingfeng and Feng Aoqing, the others all had the ability of hidden guards, and their whereabouts were wiped out.
On the way here, Yu Tingfeng was receiving letters all the way.
He didn't dare to use his own channel, nor did he dare to use Lanfeng Pavilion's channel. Instead, he used Shijin's trade route.
Feng Aoqing smiled and said, "I didn't expect that the business is so big, there are clothing stores everywhere."
"Master, doing business is much easier than being a 'thorn'." Shi Jin replied with a smile.
When they got closer to Gewudu, they hid in Shijin's caravan.
They finally stayed in Wuchun City and lived in Shi Jin's "Yuxia Chengqi" in Wuchun City.
All the news was sent here, and the last news received was that the ceremony was about to begin.
Qin Yi and Zhu Mingbo mobilized troops from where, how many people, and where they were stationed.
Yu Tingfeng sneered: "I didn't expect that he is so capable! I didn't even notice it."
"You noticed it, but you just didn't know who it was." Feng Aoqing patted his hand.
"Um?"
"You've been in Wudu all along, so why did you suddenly want to travel? You want to go to Tianyao, Zhaojing, and even to my Hantian Valley? Are you just looking for some fun? I don't think so!"
Yu Tingfeng held her in his arms: "How come you are so smart..."
"You're just saying that I'm a target! Come on! Come on!" Feng Aoqing made the gesture of being stabbed by an arrow.
"In the end, they were too cowardly and came to kill too few times. The only exciting one was the assassination of Prince Wenrui of Qinping. Now that I think about it, the Crown Prince must have been instigated by Zhu Mingbo."
Feng Aoqing nodded. "I'm afraid this method was all thought up by Zhu Mingbo. Otherwise, with their brains, they would never have thought of such an exciting method as blowing up the house. Zhu Mingbo's family has a lot of money, so he wouldn't care about those potted trees."
"What he wanted was never money. I know his ambition. I thought that if I made him a king of a different surname and gave him the title of princess, he would be satisfied. I didn't expect that!"
“It’s a pity.”
