PS: two more chapters, later.
"Gaga..."
A burst of baby cry suddenly sounded, was about to fall the baby empress Zhao suddenly hesitated.
At this moment, the king of Zhao seized the opportunity and suddenly reached out to catch the thirteen prince in the hands of empress Zhao.
Empress Zhao was shocked, but it was too late. The king of Zhao had great strength and could not allow her to rob her.
Holding the prince in his arms, King Zhao's face suddenly cooled down. He said to the bodyguards, "look at the queen. No one can see her without my orders."
"Yes, your highness." The soldiers in black armor immediately closed the door of the side hall, leaving only the crying voice of empress Zhao.
King Zhao went to the door and said to the generals behind him, "go to the city immediately to find a nurse for the 13th prince. There is no delay."
The general answered with a fist and left with a team.
At this time, another cavalry stopped in front of him. A general came down from his horse and said, "Your Highness, Princess and others may have run away sitting in the sky."
Then the king looked up into the sky. Two huge objects floated slowly from the sky. Under the huge sphere, in the basket were some women in exquisite clothes.
"This must be Yuanliang's hot-air balloon. Hum, the king of Qi is not a simple opponent. But Yuanliang said that the hot-air balloon can't fly far. Now you take a team to chase it." Said the king of Zhao, looking at the balloon in the sky.
The general took orders and left. Soon another general came back to report and said, "Your Highness, there are Qingzhou merchant ships leaving at Chang'an wharf. People on the wharf say that many soldiers and officials have left."
"Qingzhou merchant ship." The king of Zhao frowned.
Now his attitude towards Xiao Ming is a little complicated, because Zhao's guns and artillery are all purchased from Qingzhou. This time, the king of Qi sent people to rescue him. If he offended too much, the arms business would be impossible.
But now that they have mastered the forging method of the torch gun and captured a lot of artillery in Chang'an City this time, he said, "you also sent a pair of men and horses to chase along the river bank."
"Yes." The general took orders to leave.
At this time, King Zhao looked at the balloon and the direction of the dock. He could not help hesitating. Now he was not sure whether the princess followed the boat or the balloon.
Only in this way, his pursuers can only be divided into two ways.
Looking at the hot air balloon again, King Zhao walked to the stone bridge. Xiao Wenxuan died, but before the 13th prince ascended the throne, he had to hold a state funeral for Xiao Wenxuan. This is a royal etiquette.
After the state funeral, they were able to hold a grand ceremony to ascend the throne. When the 13th Prince helped him to the throne, he began to rule the state of Dayu.
Naturally, he was too lazy to interfere with these complicated rituals, but he had already sent someone to gather the officials of Chang'an. With these people, Xiao Wenxuan's funeral could be successfully completed.
Thinking of being able to control Chang'an immediately, Zhao Wang's face became more and more pleasant.
At this time, the Qingzhou merchant ship carrying the escape of Chang'an city had gone a long way along the rapids.
Looking at the beacon fire in Chang'an City from afar, Luo Quan and Fiji are in a mixed mood.
"This is a national calamity and a disgrace to the state of Dayu." Fiji has a sad look and a low tone.
Luo Quan's mood was also low. He said to Fiji, "now it's true. No matter how many gripes and sighs are useless. You still want to think about how Qingzhou talked to Xiao Ming about the edict."
"More than that, so many courtiers followed, and it was also a problem when they came to Qingzhou." Fiji shook his head.
Luo Hong then said: "Your Highness has just passed the administrative reform recently. There is a large vacancy in this official post in China. Maybe your highness will welcome it, but..."
"Just what..." Luo Quan asked.
"When I was in Qingzhou, Luo Xin told me that in fact, his highness does not dislike officials outside Qingzhou, but if he wants to work in Qingzhou's officialdom, he must study in Bowen college and pass relevant examinations." Said Luo Hong.
Fijian nodded, "this yue'er told me that since he has entered Qingzhou, he naturally wants to do as the Romans do, not to mention that his highness will soon become his majesty."
Said this, three people's facial expression some gloomy.
Luo Quan said: "now that the king of Zhao has occupied Chang'an, he will certainly support the thirteen princes to succeed to the throne. If so, his Majesty's edict is useless."
"Not only that, when his majesty asked the king of Qi to sign the registration certificate, it was still in the imperial study, and the king of Zhao could take it to tell the world that he did not recognize the emperor's present edict."
Luo Hong said: "in fact, it is meaningless not to issue an imperial edict. Now the world is in chaos, and each is in his own way. Even if there is no imperial edict, the king of Qi is also the Royal orthodox blood."
"Well, you're right. In this case, it's true or false." Fiji said, "wait for Qingzhou, we will discuss this matter with the king of Qi."
As they spoke, the news of Chang'an chaos quickly spread to all parts of Dayu.This time, the third prince and the fourth Prince fled separately. On the way to escape, they publicized the news of the prince's rebellion, which made the people on the royal land panic.
The news of Li San arrived in Qingzhou three days after the 800 Li emergency of the secret guard.
When he opened the secret letter from Chang'an, Xiao Ming's heart was full of ups and downs!
"What's the matter, your highness?"
Pang Yukun, Zhan Xingchang, Niu Zhen and others are all in the palace of the king of Qi. They see the change of Xiao Ming's look in their eyes.
Xiao Ming handed the secret letter to Pang Yukun, "you can see for yourself."
When they heard that the prince had killed the king, and that the king of Zhao had brought Xuanjia cavalry and barbarian cavalry into Chang'an City, they exchanged eyes at the same time.
Not only did they not panic, Pang Yukun said to Xiao Ming, "Your Highness, with the temperament of King Zhao, he will not let the prince ascend the throne. I'm afraid that the 13th prince will become the puppet of King Zhao. In this way, we don't have to obey the orders of the imperial court."
"That's right. I'm afraid we don't think that's the only thing after this time. No matter the king of Wei, the king of Yong or other vassal kings, they won't obey the orders of the imperial court any more. He used to be very close to the imperial court, but now it's only a matter of time." Zhan added.
Niu Zhen, a soldier, has always been straightforward. He said, "now is an opportunity for your highness. The time of chaos is the time when the situation makes heroes."
Pang Yukun and Zhan Xingchang are more euphemistic, but Niu Zhen's words are very straightforward. It is clear that Xiao Ming will be the king himself.
"At present, the Chang'an issue is not clear. We will discuss it when Li San comes back."
