Chapter 636: Royal Widow

Yu Sheng was slightly stunned when he heard this, but then he felt relieved.

Huang Yuanwu asked, it seemed to be a matter of praying for the whole world, but in fact it was something else. Although everyone thought it was inevitable, he obviously did not respect the ancestral teachings. Although Huang Yuanwu was also considered a royal relative, he was not a direct descendant after all. According to the law of ascension, Huang Yuanwu was not the primary heir to the throne.

The war before the imperial capital lasted for several months. Everyone knew that for the sake of Emperor Qitian, the emperor was dead at that time, and the imperial capital fell into the hands of outsiders. Everyone in the world knew that Qitian was about to change, but they didn't know how the sky would change.

All the surrounding provinces have a certain degree of autonomy, and this is also the case where they are waiting and watching.

Although they all knew that Qi Tian's throne would definitely fall between the four royal palaces, they had made arrangements before and had a lot of exchanges with other royal palaces. Otherwise, even if the Western King Emperor Chengbi and Southern King Emperor Liangping would be very difficult to enter the imperial capital, how could they reach the imperial capital at almost the same time?

But all the forces in the world probably don’t want to see the least, that is, the Eastern Palace will eventually climb to the high platform.

Because of the admonition of the Eastern King, Huang Yuanwu and other brothers rarely had any contact with the imperial officials in the province, and the imperial government rarely concerned about the political affairs. Even when the Three Kings rebelled, letters from the province were sent to the Eastern King's Mansion, but they were all sank to the sea without any response. Now Huang Yuanwu has become the emperor of Qi Tian. These provincial officials who had thought about it before will naturally feel uneasy. Before anyone can stand up, they will definitely be on the sidelines.

"According to the opinions of the ministers, it will be in chaos." Yu Sheng lowered his head and replied softly: "What all the forces in the empire fear most is the Eastern Prince's Mansion. Now our Eastern Prince's Mansion has become the master of Qi Tian. It is bad news for them, and it is also a warning that His Majesty only needs a few letters. If one of the leaders of all provinces recognizes His Majesty's status and enters the capital to meet the saint, the remaining people will not be worrying."

"Oh? Do you think so too?" Huang Yuanwu took a sip of tea, narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Yu Sheng, and said, "What if no one came to the capital to meet the saint?"

"No." Yu Sheng answered firmly.

"How do you know?"

"With Your Majesty's talent, you must have been planning ahead. I have been in the imperial capital for more than ten days, but I didn't see Liu Yi around His Majesty. I believe that His Majesty had thought of this step long ago and sent him out in advance." Yu Sheng's face did not change, and he lowered his head and replied softly.

"You're looking carefully." Huang Yuanwu smiled and continued, "But I have already sent him a command to come back, and I'll probably return to Beijing within a few days."

When Yu Sheng heard this, his mind turned around, but he didn't speak. Huang Yuanwu's question seemed to be asking Yu Sheng about political affairs, but in fact he would test him again. After Ye Guan disappeared, there were not many people around Huang Yuanwu who could talk about things. Liu Yi was one of them. He grew up with Huang Yuanwu and was the direct descendant of Huang Yuanwu. He was on the same front as Huang Yuanwu, so loyalty was naturally gone. The other one was Yu Sheng. Yu Sheng's mind and way of dealing with things were much better than Liu Yi, otherwise he would not have been appointed by the Dongwang as one of the four city lords and in charge of the food and grass of the Dongwang Mansion.

Although Huang Yuanwu and Yu Sheng are about the same age and are considered to have grown up together, Yu Sheng is not the direct descendant of Huang Yuanwu. His power was previously controlled by the Eastern Palace, and Yu Sheng would not pose any threat to Huang Yuanwu. However, now that the position has changed, everything may change. Huang Yuanwu has to test Yu Sheng’s intentions, which is also an indispensable step.

There are really not many people who can stay by Huang Yuanwu’s side.

"You are right. As long as one person is willing to come to Beijing to meet the saint, the rest will be simple, but I don't plan to do this." Huang Yuanwu narrowed his eyes and looked at Yu Sheng. He had not changed his name to me. I believe he knew in his heart that his throne was not stable now.

Yu Sheng's mind moved, and immediately understood what Huang Yuanwu meant, and said, "Your Majesty, please tell me clearly, what should I do if I ask my ministers?"

"No need to do it." Huang Yuanwu smiled and said, "The East Prince's Mansion is my foundation. Although Liu Yuan is brave, he is not a person who guards the city. You have to mention that I will guard the East Prince's Mansion well, so other things will be easier to handle."

Yu Sheng didn't say anything, but he already understood what Huang Yuanwu meant. He just asked, just to confirm Huang Yuanwu's intention.

After the two had been in contact for so long, Huang Yuanwu became the actual controller of the Eastern Prince's Mansion, he spared no effort to support him for the rest of his life. Now that the temptation has ended, there is no need for more words between them.

"Subject, obey the order." After a few breaths, Yu Sheng stood up and respectfully saluted Huang Yuanwu.

"Tomorrow morning, I will announce your appointment. The Dongwang Mansion will be your jurisdiction in the future. The logistics of all matters in the imperial capital will temporarily rely on the support of the Dongwang Mansion. Brother Yu, do you know the importance of this?" Huang Yuanwu looked at Yu Sheng and his tone became solemn. He was looking for Yu Sheng for this purpose, because he wanted to do a big thing, a big thing that could affect the entire Qitian. In this matter, the Dongwang Mansion was the top priority.

"My dear." Yu Sheng saluted respectfully again, and then asked softly: "I wonder if your Majesty, if I want to change Liu Yuan to Beijing after I go back."

"No need for the time being." Huang Yuanwu waved his hand gently and said, "It's not suitable to enter now that the road is blocked with heavy snow. Everything is waiting for spring. In a few days, it will be the Spring Festival. After the festival, you can go back."

"As for the orders," Yu Sheng saluted respectfully, and then stood there, waiting for the words behind Huang Yuanwu.

"Oh, by the way." Huang Yuanwu smiled at Yu Sheng, then took out a sign from his waist and threw it to Yu Sheng, and said, "There is no one in my bedroom. I can come in to find me at any time with this sign in the future."

Yu Sheng subconsciously caught it and looked down. It was a golden token. Judging from the feel, it was obviously pure gold. There was a clear word "Emperor" engraved on it. With this token, Yu Sheng obtained the right to enter and exit the palace at will. After seeing it, Yu Sheng immediately bent his knees and whispered: "Thank you Your Majesty."

"Okay, go back, let's talk about it tomorrow if you have something to do." Huang Yuanwu smiled at Yu Sheng, took another sip of tea, and said, "Also, when we are two of us, I'm not used to you to collecting your etiquette."

"As for the order." Yu Sheng heard this, got up from the ground, slowly took three steps back, and then left the door, gently closed the door, and Yu Sheng walked out of the main entrance of the bedroom.

Outside, there was a cold and huge bedroom, as if there were only two waiters at the door. After Huang Yuanwu ascended the throne, he seemed to have dismissed his personal guards, leaving no one around him.

Yu Sheng looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and a faint coldness filled his whole body; Huang Yuanwu ascended the throne, which should be a blessing for the remaining Dongwang Mansion, but after Yu Sheng met Huang Yuanwu, he felt that something was wrong. This was just a feeling in his heart, but he couldn't say what it was.

Before coming to the imperial capital, Yu Sheng probably guessed that Huang Yuanwu had summoned him. Now Qi Tian is in a mess. Huang Yuanwu ascended the throne and became the emperor, but most of his side are military generals. If he wants to govern a country well, it is absolutely impossible to rely on military generals alone.

For the current Huang Yuanwu, the imperial capital was like a useless person to him. He ascended to a meaningless throne and obtained a capital city full of holes. However, Qitian's vast territory was not under his actual control. At this time, the most important thing for Huang Yuanwu was the Eastern Palace. Besides Huang Yongning, the only one who could control the big and small matters of the Eastern Palace was himself. Now Huang Yongning is missing, and Huang Yuanwu could rely on himself.

Yu Sheng understood Huang Yuanwu's temptation to him, and also understood what Huang Yuanwu was going to do. Now it was an arrow on the string, not a question he wanted to think about.

Huang Yongning had no news, but Yu Sheng could not ask directly. This matter must have been pressed on Huang Yuanwu's heart, which made him very depressed, but Yu Sheng had no solution. Since he had no way to solve it, as a minister, it would be best not to ask.

Not only Huang Yongning, but Huang Yuanwu's three younger brothers, Huang Yongning, disappeared, Huang Yanghui opened up wasteland in the southern territory, Huang Yuchen went to Chihong Sect again, and now there was no news. After Huang Yuanwu ascended the throne, there was not even a person around him who could celebrate with him. Perhaps only he himself knew this kind of depression.

Following the waiter, Yu Sheng left the palace and walked on the empty streets; it was late at night, and there was no one on the street, and only the soldiers patrolling not far away could be seen. This was their mission.

Yu Sheng walked forward slowly. His mansion was not far from the palace, but he walked very slowly. When he returned to his mansion, a quarter of an hour had passed.

Standing in front of the mansion, Yu Sheng looked up at the bright moon in the sky again, sighed softly, and thought to himself: Qitian war is about to begin, and for the benefit of a few people, I don’t know how many people will be displaced again.

But these are not something that can be controlled by the rest of my life. On the surface, it seems that everyone is not wrong. Everyone has their own reasons, and everyone does what they want to do because of their own reasons, but the final result is like this, and no one can predict it.

Yu Sheng was a little depressed. He walked into the mansion alone and gently closed the door of the mansion. His eyes were a little melancholy, but the moment the door closed, he became firm again.

...

Early that morning, thousands of cavalrymen came to the foot of Chihong Mountain and occupied the small town at the foot of Chihong Sect. They did not burn, kill, loot, but just set up camps in the town and occupied the place completely.

Huang Yongning stood at the foot of the mountain, looked up at Chihong Mountain surrounded by clouds, with a trace of evil smile on his face, and without anyone, he stepped on Chihong Mountain alone.
