1908 Ceremony, It's really hard to have no son to support you

In addition to Lan Jingyang's letter about visiting for medical treatment, there was also a sealed letter from Liancheng.

In addition to Lan Jingyang's health, the secret letter also mentioned Liancheng's recent developments. After Lan Jingyang fell ill, the power of Liancheng fell into the hands of the old city lord again, but the old city lord seemed to be unable to control it.

Several powerful people in Liancheng seemed to have supporters behind them. After Lan Jingyang fell ill, they began to fight for power. Liancheng was internally very unstable and in a state of leaderlessness.

"Girl, we can start and take over Liancheng." Xia Wan's eyes were shining with ambition, but this kind of ambition was not annoying. It was an affirmation of her own strength.

It has to be said that Feng Qingchen was very tempted by Xia Wan's proposal, but Feng Qingchen knew very well that no matter how tempted she was, she could not touch Liancheng.

Whether it is Liancheng or Taicheng, they are the future territories of the Ninth Prince. As a vassal of the imperial power, the Fengli clan cannot occupy the land and become king. They cannot repeat the mistakes of the previous dynasty.

Xia Wan knew Feng Qingchen was thinking wrongly, and quickly said, "Miss, we don't need to use knives or guns. We just need to do the same as those people, choose a suitable person in Liancheng, help him take the position, and then we will benefit from each other."

In short, it is to find an endorsement in Liancheng, help this endorsement to get promoted, and then use him to profit from Liancheng, or even control Liancheng.

Just like back then, when the Ninth Prince was in Xiling, he supported Xiling Tianyu, who was not favored by anyone. After supporting Xiling Tianyu to the throne, the Ninth Prince can use Xiling Tianyu to control the political situation in Xiling.

If it were in the past, Feng Qingchen would have agreed without hesitation, but it was not cost-effective to do so now. In a few years, the Ninth Prince would send troops to attack various cities. If she bothered to do all this at this time, she might not be able to get back even 10% of the benefits by then.

Feng Qingchen rejected Xia Wan's suggestion without thinking.

It would be better for her not to snatch food from a tiger's mouth, even if that tiger was her partner...

On the second day, the Ninth Prince led his troops to war. A grand ceremony was held at the city gate. The onlookers crowded the two sides, and all that could be heard was the people's discussions about the Ninth Prince and Wang Jinling.

There was no way. The field was full of old ministers over fifty years old. The Ninth Prince and Wang Jinling stood out against this group of people.

One is noble and domineering, the other is gentle and dignified. The two stand face to face, and the relationship between the monarch and his subjects is harmonious...

The auspicious time has arrived, and the army sets out!

The Ninth Prince bid farewell to his ministers, sat on a carriage that only an emperor could make, and led 10,000 troops to the front line of Beiling!

The people did not know about the struggles in the court, nor did they know the purpose of the Ninth Prince's previous expedition. They only knew that in order to protect Dongling, the Ninth Prince went to the battlefield in person, regardless of the danger.

Watching the Ninth Prince and the army set off, the people of Dongling shouted in unison: "Dongling will win!" "The Regent will win."

"Dongling will win."

"The Regent will win."

…

The voices were getting louder and louder. Even though only a shadow of the Ninth Prince's army was left, these people were still enthusiastic and kept shouting "Dongling will win" and "Long live Dongling!"

If "Long live the emperor" could only be used to address the emperor, these people would probably shout "Long live the ninth uncle".

In fact, many people in the crowd shouted "Long live the Ninth Prince" in excitement, but their voices were too small and were drowned out.

Wang Jinling stood in front of all the officials, watching the Ninth Prince walking away, and raised the corners of his lips: "It can also win people's hearts. The Ninth Prince's move really kills two birds with one stone."

"What?" The voice was so soft that the officers beside him could not hear a word clearly. They only vaguely heard Wang Jinling's voice.

"Send someone to tell the Empress Dowager that the Regent has set off, and tell her not to worry. With her in the temple praying for the prince, the prince will surely be generous." Wang Jinling thought of Madam Min who was far away in the temple, and his mood improved again.

At the same moment, Feng Qingchen, who had left the city early in the morning and stood on the top of the mountain, watched the army moving further and further away, and said silently in his heart: You must come back safely!

The wind blew, and her sleeves were blown up against the wind. Her long hair like a waterfall also fluttered behind her. The sadness of parting lingered around her. Feng Qingchen was also immersed in the sadness of parting. But at this moment, Zuo An, who was standing behind Feng Qingchen, said unhappily: "How long are you going to stand here? This wind blowing on my face is like a knife. It hurts me even if it doesn't hurt you."

"Ahem..." The sadness of parting was just dispelled by Zuo An. Feng Qingchen turned around and glared at Zuo An unhappily: "Let's go now."

After taking a final look, there was only a shadowy army left. Feng Qingchen turned and walked down the mountain. Zuo An followed behind him, muttering coldly, "So many people came to see the Ninth Emperor off, but you are the only one who came to climb up so early in the morning. It's really annoying."

Mo... Feng Qingchen regretted it. She should have left Zuo An to Sun Sixing and brought Ling Mo back. Ling Mo was much cuter than Zuo An. At least he wouldn't complain about her occasional abnormal behavior.

Well, she admitted that it was stupid to climb to the top of the mountain before daybreak to wait for the army to set out, but she really couldn't be blamed. She didn't know what had possessed her. This image flashed through her mind and she felt it fit the situation at the moment, so she took action...

I remember that this scene was very beautiful on TV and in movies, but why is it that when it happens to me, I can’t see anything clearly and the wind makes my face hurt?

Oh, and my feet hurt from walking down the mountain.

She swore that she would never engage in such romance again next time. It was meaningless. She suffered a lot, but the Ninth Prince was still unaware of it.

As soon as the Ninth Prince left the capital, the oppressed people in the capital began to stir again, each of them thinking of taking advantage of the opportunity to get some benefits for themselves, and some of them wanted to start with Madam Min.

Unfortunately, the Ninth Prince had already made preparations. All the servants around Madam Min were cleared out by the Ninth Prince. Now, all the people left by Madam Min are the Ninth Prince's men.

These people were ordered by the Ninth Prince to serve Madam Min wholeheartedly, and also to make Madam Min blind so that no news from the outside world could reach her ears.

When Madam Min woke up, she was completely stunned. She had never thought that one day she would end up like this. She came to Dongling not to be an old woman praying in the temple, but for the power of the Grand Empress Dowager of Dongling, and now...

"I want to go out for a walk." Mrs. Min suppressed the anger in her heart.

She still had to rely on the Ninth Uncle, and couldn't reveal her true colors in front of him. If she did, she would really block her own path.

"Your Majesty, please..." The people serving her did not stop her, but Madam Min could only walk in the yard. Once she walked out, the guards in the dark would spot her and block her way. The little monk outside the door would also stop her with a determined look and not let her go out.

Madam Min wanted to curse loudly. She had never been treated like this before. Even when she was forced into the palace, her freedom was not restricted. What was this now?

Madam Min clenched her fists tightly and told herself that she had to be patient. She must be patient until the enthronement ceremony, and then she could go out.

She didn't want to stay in this damn temple for a moment!
