Chapter 269 This is the first achievement!
The master and his entourage hurried to Fu Yi without even getting dressed.
The awkward period in the Pei Mansion was shorter than expected, because they didn't even have time to say a few more words.
The master turned around and saw Prince Liang striding forward with a long sword in hand, shouting, "Fu Yi!"
His attendants followed behind and put armor on him.
The master was stunned when he saw this. Was he too late to even return to the Imperial Capital? Was he going straight from Heqing to the border town?
The door to that room opened.
But she was wearing a yellow dress, fluttering like an angel. Everyone was stunned for a moment, and saw that it was Cheng Nianying who came out first.
Prince Liang paused, then suddenly raised his voice: "Fu Yi!!!"
Anyone with ears can clearly hear that this sound is different from the previous one.
Fu Yi took two steps behind and followed, saying, "As a subject, I should walk behind her now."
King Liang was furious, his eyebrows burning with anger: "Is this what I want to talk about?"
Yin Huiyi arrived a little later and ran into the angry King Liang. He held the crown with one hand and interrupted, "Your Highness!"
The fire of King Liang was put out in an instant.
County Magistrate Heqing breathed a sigh of relief. The Pei Mansion would make arrangements so that those who started the fire would be close by, and those who put out the fire would also be close by.
"Isn't there an urgent report?" Cheng Nianying asked, and she looked directly at Magistrate Heqing.
Magistrate Heqing didn't dare look at her. He lowered his head, feeling a little awkward, but he still answered politely, "Yes, before daybreak today, someone came and knocked on the city gate."
"My subordinates reported this to me. Upon inquiry, I learned that the visitor was actually the envoy from Wenxiang Kingdom who had previously visited the capital, accompanied by officials from the Sifang Pavilion."
"The envoy wasn't an ordinary official of the Wenxiang Kingdom, but the third prince of the Wenxiang Kingdom. He was the son of the queen. However, the powerful minister Liang Xiang wanted to support the seventh prince to ascend the throne, so he sent people to assassinate him several times..."
After saying this, Prince Liang and Yin Huiyi looked at Fu Yi almost at the same time.
So familiar!
Fu Yi remained expressionless despite being stared at like this. He just stood beside Cheng Nianying, acting like a good subject.
"But Wenxiang State has always been a vassal state of the Huan Dynasty. The decision to appoint a new monarch is definitely not up to Liang Xiang alone! According to the rules, Wenxiang must first submit to the Huan Dynasty and receive an imperial decree from Your Majesty before the new monarch can ascend the throne."
"So the Wenxiang Kingdom sent envoys to the court, and these three princes took the opportunity to sneak in."
"But Your Majesty has been unable to see him, so he has been telling the officials at the Sifang Pavilion all day that Liang Xiang is ambitious and that if they don't see his body, they will guess that he has come to the Huan Dynasty to file a complaint."
"Now that Your Majesty has passed away, I'm afraid he will go all out and invade our Huan Dynasty. If he can seize Huan Dynasty territory, his power in the country will reach the point where he can cover the sky with one hand! He won't be afraid that Huan Dynasty will hold him accountable for disrupting order."
"He really wasn't lying! There were signs of cavalry harassment in Huaiyuan Town, which borders Wenxiang. As soon as the imperial capital heard the news, the three princes rushed here without stopping, hoping to ask King Liang to send troops."
Magistrate Heqing didn't even dare to breathe and quickly explained the matter in a simple and concise manner.
Fu Yi moved his lips and was about to speak, but the next moment he pursed his lips.
Prince Liang and Yin Huiyi noticed his reaction, so they understood and said nothing.
Cheng Nianying then continued, "Where is the third prince?"
"I didn't invite him into Pei's residence. I just left him waiting in the county office."
"Go and meet him."
Magistrate Heqing instinctively glanced at the expressions of the other three leaders, then nodded, "Yes."
The eldest master finally interrupted at this time: "Hurry and prepare the carriage!"
The follower responded and left.
Cheng Nianying turned her head to look at Fu Yi, who was still standing there.
She thought of what he had just said, that he should walk behind her... so she took the first step.
As expected, as soon as she moved, Fu Yi followed suit. Then Prince Liang and Yin Huiyi followed, and the group rushed out of the door.
Fu Yi took two steps back and saw that Magistrate Heqing still looked a little bewildered. He asked calmly, "Do you feel strange and awkward?"
The magistrate's forehead suddenly broke out in sweat. He said hurriedly, "I dare not!"
Fu Yi helped him up and said, "Why are you so panicked? There is no precedent for this in the Huan Dynasty. It's not your fault that you are at a loss for what to do."
The magistrate was even more frightened and didn't know what to say.
Prince Danshuo was able to outlast the emperor and was a legitimate powerful official. How could he not be afraid?
Fu Yi smiled amiably: "You are the first person to reply so many words to the new crown prince."
The magistrate was stunned at first, and then he was shocked.
yes!
Why were there so many factions among the officials in the court, vying to support different princes? Wasn't it because everyone was eager to grab the credit of being the emperor's successor?
The first one to do the best is the best!
He was a local official, and this matter was far away from him. Even if he reported on his work in the capital, he might not be worthy of seeing His Majesty.
But now... now the prince's gentle words instantly stirred his heart into a state of heat.
Yes, there is no precedent for a female crown prince.
This is unprecedented, but anyone who dares to stand with her will just get the credit, right?
The magistrate of Danshuo County liked cleanliness. He quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead, bowed to Fu Yi, and hurriedly caught up with Cheng Nianying: "I will lead the way for you!"
Fu Yi raised his eyes and saw Cheng Nianying looking back at him at the same time.
Fu Yi couldn't help but smile at her.
At this time, Cheng Nianying stretched out her hand towards him, spread out her five fingers, and hooked them, as if urging him.
Fu Yi immediately quickened his pace, walked to Cheng Nianying's side, and whispered in her ear, "People's hearts are so easily moved. Has Ah Ying learned it?"
He paused, then continued in a very low voice, "You are always more sincere than me. If you can control people, you should be better than me."
Sincerity mixed with hypocrisy is disliked by others.
If there is even a hint of sincerity in the art of ruling, it will be enough to make the ministers die for it.
Her sincerity is her weapon.
Even he finds it hard to resist, doesn't it?
Cheng Nianying turned her head and stared at Fu Yi.
It is obvious that what they are discussing is still about playing with people's hearts.
But in an instant, she actually tasted that he loved her very much.
"Yeah." Cheng Nianying responded softly, resisting the urge to touch Fu Yi's hand.
Fu Yi smiled again. She did not object to him talking about this matter.
Fu Yi added, "Prince Liang cannot go with you to Huaiyuan to repel the cavalry of Wenxiang State. He must return to the Imperial Capital to intimidate others."
"Just now, when the magistrate mentioned that the third prince came to invite King Liang, you wanted to say this?" Cheng Nianying asked.
"Yes...Aying, do you know why I didn't speak in the end?"
"It's like you let me go ahead of you."
"Yes, I can't interfere. You are the one giving the orders now. They should all hear your voice first."
Cheng Nianying pursed her lips, stepped through another door, and arrived at the main gate of Pei Mansion.
The carriage is ready.
Cheng Nianying stepped onto the stool and Fu Yi supported her from the side.
Cheng Nianying licked her lips, endured it for a moment, and then endured it again, but she still touched Fu Yi's hand.
This wasn't an illusion, she thought to herself. Fu Yi truly loved her. So she wanted to be closer to him.
Then the curtain fell.
The group rushed towards the county government office.
The third prince of Wenxiang Kingdom has been waiting anxiously.
The attendants beside him were filled with worry. "The Huan Dynasty hasn't yet decided on a new ruler. Will they really care about our affairs?"
"Yes! At least King Liang will!"
"No one wants to leave the capital, and the princes in their fiefdoms are eager to rush to the imperial capital, fearing that they will miss the opportunity to seize the throne... Will Prince Liang really go to Huaiyuan to quell the rebellion?"
"Yes! Yes!" Sweat slowly flowed down the third prince's forehead.
It was unclear whether he was speaking to the attendants or trying to calm his own anxiety.
As he finished speaking, officials from Sifang Pavilion walked in quickly.
The third prince and his servant immediately stopped talking.
The official swallowed his saliva and said, "Come and meet the crown prince immediately."
"Crown Prince?" The third prince couldn't even enter the imperial capital, so how could he know the specific changes in the court?
He stared blankly at the official behind him. People from the county government office bowed one by one, and the one walking in front was a beautiful woman in her prime.
She is... a woman.
"Do you know who led the troops to invade the border town of Huaiyuan?" The woman spoke, her voice crisp and pleasant.
But the third prince had no intention of answering.
He hurriedly looked back, calling out, "Prince Liang..."
