Anyone who is interested knows that the sudden death of Emperor Bei Ming is closely related to Si Han, the illegitimate crown prince who was brought back from outside.
However, in recent years, Emperor Bei Ming's romantic life in his youth had drained his body, and because he was often ill, he became obsessed with seeking the way to immortality.
The real power of Bei Ming has long been secretly controlled by Si Han, who is already the crown prince.
Even if someone guessed the cause of Emperor Bei Ming's death, anyone with a bit of brains wouldn't say it out loud now.
Between an emperor who has already been buried and a crown prince who is about to succeed to the throne, anyone would know how to choose.
Otherwise, with Si Han being able to assassinate even his own father, there would be no chance for others who want to oppose him to survive.
Si Han's coronation ceremony was scheduled to be held a hundred days after the death of Emperor Bei Ming.
When An Xin and the others received the invitation, there was still more than a month before Si Han's coronation ceremony.
Time is neither too tight nor too abundant.
After Second Uncle An and his family were brought to the capital by Dazhuang and Lingyun, the family had only been reunited for a few days when it was time for An Rui to get married.
On this day, An Rui was wearing a red groom's suit, which made him look handsome. He was riding on a horse in high spirits, and was followed by the most powerful wedding party in the capital.
Li Ziyu, the youngest Prime Minister of Daqian, Leng Xiangbai, the Minister of Rites, and Jiang Zhou, who is only one step away from becoming the Imperial Censor and pushing old man Shan out of office.
Zhu Shijing worked hard and, with the secret support of his immediate superior, the emperor Kong Xun, became the real leader of the Ministry of Revenue with just a title.
There are also Liu Boxing who controls the entire capital's security team, Jiang Chenxi, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, Chen Qibao, the commander of the palace guards, Shan Yongzhen who just passed the imperial examination, and his two junior brothers Chi Lan.
With the support of Emperor Kong Xun, who was fond of favoritism, An Rui himself became the chief academic officer of the Imperial College.
In this way, a wedding procession with both civil and military talents came to the Marquis Xuanping's mansion to pick up the bride.
For the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, the obstacles that relatives and friends set up for the groom to pick up the bride were removed in minutes.
Li Ziyu and Leng Xiangbai, Jiang Zhou and Zhu Shijing, they have never been afraid of anyone when it comes to literary competition. Whether love is poetry, songs, or something else, they can all come up with it with ease.
Feng Yuxiu saw that the checkpoints he and his elder brother had set up were being easily passed one by one.
He caught a glimpse of his good friends Shan Yongzhen and Chi Lan who were not on the same team with him but went to help his brother-in-law An Rui to pass the level. If it wasn't for his sister's big day today, Feng Yuxiu would have wanted to beat them up.
Finally, Feng Yuxiu brought a group of young men who were his relatives and friends. Feeling that the diplomatic approach was not working, they decided to use force to stop his brother-in-law An Rui, who looked very proud.
An Rui looked at the closed courtyard door with bright eyes, narrowed his eyes and smiled, and gave a look to Liu Boxing and Jiang Chenxi, the martial arts brothers who followed behind, "It's your turn."
Liu Boxing and Jiang Chenxi and some others laughed and said excitedly, "Groom, just wait and see!"
The group of young men led by Feng Yuxiu were no match for them. After a few pushes with their hands on the door, the gate was pushed open.
Surrounded by everyone, An Rui playfully went inside and brought out Feng Lingyun, who was covered with a red veil. He said goodbye to her parents and carried her into the bridal sedan.
Feng Lingyun, the legitimate daughter of Marquis Xuanping, came with a red dowry that stretched for ten miles, and married An Rui, a young man who held the third-rank official position, amid the envious eyes of those who once laughed at her for not being able to get married because her fiancé had died.
Those who had said that she had a bad life before now began to look at Feng Lingyun with envy as she rode in one of the eight large sedan chairs, with a ceremonial guard personally appointed by the emperor leading the way.
She went around the city unimpeded and settled down in the five-story mansion that the chief academic officer of the Imperial College had decorated exquisitely and magnificently for her wedding.
An Xin, Li Ziyu and their fellow apprentices helped An Rui and Feng Lingyun hold the wedding ceremony in a lively manner.
An Xin watched An Rui and Feng Lingyun finish their wedding ceremony.
She quietly left the mansion she bought for An Rui, and rushed to Beiming with the people who had been prepared, to attend Si Han's coronation ceremony.
Originally there was plenty of time to go to Beiming.
However, at An Rui's request, he hoped that his cousin and teacher An Xin would attend his wedding and then go to Bei Ming, so there was not much time left.
That's why An Xin drank a glass of wedding wine from An Rui and Feng Lingyun after they were sent to the bridal chamber, and quietly left the banquet without disturbing anyone else.
She left the capital overnight, taking with her Leng Xiangbai and Jiang Zhou, who accompanied her on the mission to celebrate the coronation of the new emperor of Beiming, as well as the cute little Chi Lan, who was arranged to train in the Ministry of Rites.
Because now Chen Qibao and Liu Boxing have to protect the safety of the palace respectively, and both of them have heavy responsibilities now, and they cannot leave and accompany An Xin to Beiming for a while.
At this time, General Chen and General Gao, who also wanted to go, had a few rounds of arguments with several other military officials.
General Chen and General Gao both knew that Si Han had no intention of doing anything good by specifically asking An Xin, the minister of state, to go to Bei Ming.

They privately convinced Li Ziyu, Leng Xiangbai and others that they would definitely bring An Xin back safely during this trip to Beiming. That's why they were chosen by Emperor Kong Xun to lead 500 troops to protect An Xin and others on their mission to Beiming.
An Xin, Leng Xiangbai, Jiang Zhou, and Chi Lan had just left on horseback, preparing to leave the city to meet up with General Chen and General Gao.
Li Ziyu, Zhu Shijing, Liu Boxing and Jiang Chenxi stood at the door of An Rui's house, looking quietly in the direction where An Xin left.
Several fellow disciples were silent for a while. How could they not know that An Xin left at this time because he did not want to ruin An Rui's wedding celebration.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have waited until time was so tight to leave.
Li Ziyu's dark eyes were calm, and cold, filled with a mist.
He somewhat regretted being the prime minister. If it weren't for this position, she might have agreed to let him go with her.
Li Ziyu was asked by An Xin to stay and help Kong Xun to balance the affairs of the court. The next morning, Kong Xun found that his senior brother had an expressionless face and became even more indifferent.
There was a clown who saw An Xin, the minister of state, going on a diplomatic mission to Beiming, and Si Han, the former crown prince of Daqian.
When the Daqian royal family was fighting for the throne, she was the one who brought people into the palace to destroy the plan. In the end, she also supported Kong Xun to take the throne.
This time, he was specifically invited by Si Han, who is about to become the new emperor of Bei Ming. I don’t know if he will have the chance to return to Daqian and continue to be arrogant in the court.
After An Xin left, officials who had such ideas wanted to find a sense of their presence in the court, but then they were taught a lesson by the new emperor and Li Ziyu, two unkind monarchs and ministers.
Lord Gao and Lord Taiwei, who originally did not compete for the position of Prime Minister, have always been dissatisfied.
These two people jumped around the most after An Xin left, but they were crushed by the king and his minister Kong Xun and Li Ziyu and demoted several levels. From now on, they can only stand outside the hall when they attend court.
