Chapter 656: Huang Yu wants to get married!
The letter was kept for three days before Zhou Xinrou came looking for him.
"Lan Xi, your father is seriously ill and may not live long. Your two uncles thought of asking Yuan Jing and the others to come back."
A hint of a smile flashed across Shen Lanxi's eyes.
Before, she would never call her Lan Xi, let alone call Shen Congwen her father.
Shen Lanxi: "I have sent a letter. I believe that within a month, Yuan Jing and his men will definitely arrive in the capital."
Zhou Xinrou froze. She didn't expect that Shen Lanxi had already sent the message.
Why is she so unconvinced?
"Is that so? I was worried that calling them back would have an impact on the border."
Shen Lanxi smiled and said, "No, the border has been very stable recently, and there is a trade agreement. If they provoke a war again, not only will our Great Zhou cavalry crush them, but there will be no more trade negotiations between the two sides in the future!"
Zhou Xinrou said awkwardly, "It's good that you have a plan in mind. I won't bother you reviewing the memorials."
After returning, Zhou Xinrou immediately asked someone to check whether any letters had been sent from the palace in the past few days.
The letter had been delayed for three days, and some people didn't even have the patience to wait two more days.
…
Huang Yu's daily training and winning people's hearts consumed most of her energy.
I really don't know how Shen Lanxi made so many people willingly join her in the past.
Today she specially took some time out and went into the Cining Palace on the pretext of paying her respects to the Empress Dowager.
"There's a message from the mountain, telling us to take our time and not be impatient."
But Zhou Xinrou was anxious!
"The longer the time drags on, the more secure Shen Lanxi's throne will be."
Huang Yu: "Not necessarily. Now that you have entered the palace, it is much easier to get close to her than before."
This time she came, she not only brought news from the mountains, but also brought some things.
"The search inside the palace is too strict. If I hadn't hidden the things in the hairpin, I wouldn't have been able to bring them in at all." Zhou Xinrou broke the jade hairpin. It was hollow inside, and that was where the things she had brought in were hidden.
Zhou Xinrou said worriedly, "Don't ask you to do these things in the future. I'll ask someone to get them."
Who dares to search the people around the Queen Mother?
Huang Yu: "I didn't expect Shen Lanxi to be so afraid of death. Entering the palace is like passing a checkpoint. She has to be checked from head to toe."
Its level of meticulousness is comparable to that of the imperial examination.
Zhou Xinrou smiled and said, "Who made her have so many enemies? Since ancient times, which emperor was not afraid of death?"
"Even if it's a play, you still have to bring it in."
It can be seen that the defense of the palace is not as tight as imagined.
It’s a pity that the previous secret passages are now all abandoned.
"Without war, there will be no military achievements. The city defense army is still too small."
When Zhou Xinrou was thinking of a solution, Huang Yu suddenly asked, "What if I marry Shen Yuanxu?"
Zhou Xinrou was stunned, and immediately said unhappily: "No one in the Shen family is good."
She looked down on Shen Yuanxu.
Huang Yu laughed and said, "Who cares? I just have my eyes on the military power in his hands."
Zhou Xinrou didn't want Huang Yu to marry just for military power.
"If you really want to choose, you might as well choose Wei Dongzhu."
Although Wei Dongzhu had a bastard son, he had never had a legal wife. And as far as she knew, he did not like women who gave birth to bastard sons.
When Huang Yu heard Wei Dongzhu, he immediately retorted disdainfully: “What Shen Lanxi doesn’t want, I don’t want either.”
"Wei Dongzhu has the guts to deceive Shen Lanxi, so he must have the guts to deceive me."
Zhou Xinrou: "Then choose someone else. There are many generals with heavy troops. I will slowly select for you."
Huang Yu touched the scar on his face, with undisguised disdain in his eyes.
"I married only to gain military power, not to spend my life with a man. What's the point of choosing? I'll choose whoever has more soldiers and horses."
Shen Lanxi didn't marry, but kept a servant. Why can't she do the same?
"Huang Yu, a woman's choice of husband affects her whole life."
"Chen Lanxi was unlucky enough to meet someone like Zhou Ruyuan at that time. You can't learn from her."
"I will choose one that suits your taste."
Huang Yu was getting impatient.
"Is it for you to choose a husband, or for me to choose a husband?"
"I will choose it myself, without your help. I came here today just to tell you!"
After she finished speaking, she didn't want to wait for Zhou Xinrou to say anything and left with a cold face.
After a while, a low cry sounded.
"How could she be so harsh to me when I have planned for her so wholeheartedly?"
Mammy patted Zhou Xinrou on the back and advised: "Maybe she still has resentment in her heart!"
Zhou Xinrou cried inconsolably, but she did not forget to lower her voice.
"It wasn't easy for me back then. The capital is a place where people are eaten alive. Even I have escaped death several times. How can I feel at ease if she stays in the capital?"
"Her Majesty, when the young master is older, she will understand."
The low voice of comfort did not last long before it stopped and a drizzle began to fall outside.
Within two days, a rumor, coming from nowhere, quickly spread throughout the capital.
"Have you heard that the descendant of Guiguzi around His Majesty is a fake?"
"You know that too?"
"Who wouldn't know this big news?"
"Song Daoxi, the descendant of Guiguzi, who dares to spread such rumors?"
"There may not be no wind in the sky, but whenever there is such wind, there will definitely be a shadow."
In the court
"Your Majesty, people on the street are spreading a rumor today." Liu Yanhui told the rumor about Guiguzi's successor with a cold face.
Shen Lanxi said coldly: "Is it a joke, or a rumor spread by someone with ulterior motives? Or is it the remnant of the previous dynasty?"
Dali Temple: "Your Majesty, we at Dali Temple are willing to investigate this matter in detail!"
Ministry of Personnel: "Your Majesty, our Ministry of Personnel is willing to investigate this matter in detail."
Shen Lanxi stood up, her aura making all the officials slow down their breathing.
"The Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice will investigate this matter together."
"I obey the order."
In addition to the sudden rumors today, there is also the matter of posthumously conferring the title on the late crown prince.
Even if the empress dowager, the widow, didn't mention it, she, as her daughter, must mention it to show her filial piety.
"During the time when the former crown prince was regent, he loved the people like his own children, and there was nothing wrong with that. My throne was unstable before, and coupled with the many important matters in the northwest, southwest, and Dongchuan, I didn't handle my biological father's coffin in time, which was really wrong."
"Today I have acknowledged my ancestors and returned to my ancestral home. Naturally I must restore my father's name and allow his descendants to worship him."
Liu Yanhui took the lead and said, "Your Majesty's filial piety is evident to all."
Shen Lanxi: "I have discussed with the Ministry of Rites about the posthumous title, the Emperor of Civil and Military Benevolence and Virtue!"
The long string of posthumous titles left all the officials speechless.
Your Majesty is so filial that he wants to use all the good words to describe the late Crown Prince.
"Your Majesty's filial piety moves Heaven, and I, your subjects, admire you!"
Shen Lanxi also felt that she was going to die of filial piety!
After the court was dismissed, Zhou Xinrou, who had heard that the late crown prince was going to be posthumously conferred the title of Crown Prince, came.
"Why didn't you discuss this with me before making this arrangement?"
Shen Lanxi looked at Zhou Xinrou with cold eyes.
"I am posthumously conferring a title on my father and sending him to the imperial mausoleum and the imperial temple. Empress Dowager, do you want to stop me?"
