At this moment, in the capital, the city was covered with mourning, and white banners were hung in front of the doors of thousands of households.∷∷,

The north wind is shrill, and the huge capital city seems to have turned white all night, no longer has the noise and vitality of the past, and is more of a silence and a sense of solemnity.

It has been two days since the news of His Majesty's death returned to the capital, but no one in the capital, from civil and military officials to peddlers and pawns, came to his senses. It was as if he was beaten to the head, and he was so distracted and dizzy.

How could His Majesty, the wise and powerful emperor, let go? It was a matter of trouble and lost the protection of a generation of geniuses. How did the Huoluo Kingdom face the iron hoofs of the demon army? How did he face the surrounding powers? In the blink of an eye, winter is approaching!

In the inner courtyard of the deep palace, in front of the Yangxin Hall, the morning sunlight was reflected on the mirror-like marble floor through the pattern of the window frame. These rays of light looked so pale and powerless, without any unnecessary temperature.

Gongsun Zhiqing stood in front of the window frame, silently staring at the rising dust in the sun, and her mind seemed to fly beyond the clouds in the sky.

"Your Highness, please leave the capital quickly! The situation in Beijing is tense and changes every minute and every second. It is very unsafe for you to stay in the palace. As the maid sees, you are good friends with the Marquis of Zhongyi. Why not leave earlier and go to Stone City!"

The person who spoke was Gongsun Zhiqing's personal maid Xiao Cui. The two were like sisters and had no taboos when talking to each other.

Gongsun Zhiqing shook her head and said with a firm look on her face: "No! I cannot leave Shangjing City yet. My father's body is not cold, and the demon army is watching Dandan, so the city must not be in chaos! Moreover, I must attend the funeral ceremony of the emperor!"

"But, King Kang and King Tang are having a serious fuss at the moment. They will definitely force the eldest princess to express their opinions. No matter which party you offend, it will be a disaster!" Xiao Cui said with a worried look on her face.

Gongsun Zhijing sneered: "Just relying on those two pieces of waste, I want to get involved in the throne of the emperor? No matter who among them gets the Great Haruo State, it is not a blessing for all people! Unfortunately, this palace is not a man, otherwise they will have no share!"

"Oh! Princess. It would be great if that Marquis of Zhongyi was in the capital! With his wisdom, martial arts, he will definitely be able to keep the princess safe!" Xiao Cui said.

Gongsun Zhiqing thought of someone and couldn't help but smile and said with a smile: "That may not be possible! The battle for imperial power cannot be solved by brute force. Even if that guy comes, it is useless! Moreover, he has to manage the northwest. All heroes know how to judge the situation. This is a good opportunity for him to consolidate his strength and conquer the border. How could he choose to come to Beijing to catch this trip to the world!"

When Xiao Cui saw the eldest princess smile, she was happy and said casually: "Do you think he won't come?"

Gongsun Zhiqing suddenly shook her head again and said, "That may not be possible! That person's brain is abnormal. Sometimes he looks like a fool. When everyone in the world thinks that he will not come, he will come instead! I don't know, I don't know!"

"You want him to come, but you don't want him to come, so you are very confused! Haha! Why don't you bet with you? Bet if he will come? When will you come?" Xiao Cui hit the nail on the head and guessed Gongsun Zhiqing's thoughts at this moment.

Gongsun Zhiqing smiled faintly and said, "I won't bet! I still hope he won't come! When my father's mourning period is over, I will naturally go to find him!"

At this time, an eunuch outside the hall whispered loudly: "Report to the Princess, Prince Kang led all civil and military officials to the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Please move your princess and go to discuss the major plan!"

Gongsun Zhiqing frowned slightly and said lightly: "King Kang is really impatient. When is this time? You guys wait first, I want to change my clothes!"

Xiao Cui bit her lip on the side, and the worry on her face increased three more.

Half an hour later, the eldest princess Gongsun Zhiqing slowly moved to the Palace of Supreme Harmony in a simple white palace outfit.

In front of the Supreme Hall, more than 200 officials came, and they stood in front of the hall and marquis. Most of them were civil officials. Looking at this camp, they were very powerful.

Gongsun Zhijing glanced at him and found that all these civil officials were from King Kang’s lineage. The head of the dynasty was Gong Wenzhen, the grandmaster of the dynasty. The old teacher nodded worriedly when he saw the eldest princess, as if he had greeted him.

Gongsun Zhiqing walked into the Hall of Supreme Harmony. As soon as she looked up, she saw the dragon throne that her father usually sat on. She felt sad from her heart for a moment and couldn't help but shed tears.

King Kang, who was also wearing a white robe, stood on the left side of the dragon chaise. When he saw the eldest princess crying, his eyes suddenly became wet.

"Prince, please feel sorry for your grief. Please take care of your health! We will definitely avenge the great revenge of the emperor!" King Kang said while secretly looking at Gongsun Zhiqing's face.

Gongsun Zhiqing was sad and kept crying, and shedding no intention of paying attention to King Kang.

"Sister Emperor, please be at peace with the gods! I invite the emperor to come here to discuss the great things that concern the fate of the country." King Kang said carefully from the side.

Gongsun Zhiqing wiped her eyes and said lightly: "Tell me!"

King Kang gave a wink. Wen Zhen, who was standing behind him, stepped forward, raised his voice eight degrees, and said loudly: "My Fire Empire is in troubled times, and he is worried and troubled from the outside, and he is heartbroken in the world. However, the country cannot be without a king for a day, and everything is in ruins. Our ministers hope that the royal family will choose a new emperor as soon as possible, lead all the civil and military officials in the court, and the people of the world, avenge our revenge on our emperor, and fight for life and death with the demon clan! Please support His Highness the Princess!”

After Wen Zhengong finished speaking, he turned his head and bowed. After that, all the civil and military officials behind him fell to the ground and looked at Gongsun Zhijing with a gaze.

The eldest princess, Gongsun Zhiqing, said coldly: "What a turbulent autumn. My father's body is not cold. You will establish a new king here. OK, very good! If you ask me to support me, then I will ask you, which new emperor I want to support?"

Anyone could hear the resentment in Gongsun Zhiqing's tone, but the ministers did not think they were wrong. The country should not be without a monarch for a day. If a new monarch was established as soon as possible, the state machine could resume normal operation. In their opinion, this was also a favorable thing for the country. In contrast, the eldest princess' personal emotions were just small matters.

Duke Wenzhen looked very reasonable, nodded and said, "The eldest princess said this. The old emperor died young and had not yet made the crown prince. We and the old ministers discussed that they hoped that the eldest princess would support King Kang ascend the throne. King Kang was young and promising, virtuous, filial and brotherly, and the last emperor also praised him when he was alive! The country of Huoluo will have such a benevolent king, and the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe and the weather will be good! Please also ask the eldest princess to put the national system first and support King Kang!"

These words are righteous and harsh, and are worthy of being the priest of Wen Zhen, the elder of the three dynasties. The four words "virtue, talent, filial piety and brotherhood" that are understatement vividly highlighting King Kang's image of benevolence and filial piety.

Gongsun Zhijing looked at King Kang next to him coldly, holding the intelligence agency of the Imperial Secretariat, of course he knew what kind of virtue this King Kang was! If such a person is worthy of being called virtue, talent, filial piety, then all the men in the Huoluo Kingdom can be called moral role models.

The reason why these officials, led by Wenzhen, supported King Kang was mostly because King Kang was deliberately making friends, but half of the reason was because King Kang appeared cowardly and often praised Confucianism. They thought that if such a monarch would have a better life as a civil servant, and Confucianism would have a higher status.

Only Gongsun Zhiqing is so clear in her heart. Her cousin is cowardly on the surface, but in fact she is cruel and moody on the inside, so she is definitely not the right candidate for the king.

"The Tang King is here!" As the eunuch shouted loudly, there was a rustling footsteps in front of the hall, which was the unique sound of hard-soled military boots trampling on the floor of the hall.

Compared with King Kang, King Tang has a burly figure and a heroic sword-brow. He is obviously much more heroic in terms of appearance. He is wearing a white battle robe, with armor wrapped inside, a long sword on his waist, and a shining cold light and murderous aura.

There were also hundreds of military generals who came to the hall with the King of Tang, all of whom were covered with white robes and armor, and everyone showed resentment on their faces.

"Sister Emperor, you arrived so early? What are you discussing? You didn't wait for me!" As he spoke, King Tang walked straight over.

The one who came with the King of Tang was of course the Grand Marshal of the Golden Lion. He has always been the loyal king of the King of Tang and followed him step by step.

When Gongsun Zhijing saw that King Tang brought the sword to the hall, his brows immediately frowned.

The King of Tang looked arrogant and ignored the dissatisfied look of the president's princess, but said loudly: "Gongsun Kang, you are such a useless person! You don't want to avenge your Majesty, but you are trying to get involved in the throne. You dream!" "You, don't talk nonsense, I don't want to avenge your Majesty! What's your intention to bring a sword to the palace?"

When King Kang saw his old enemy, King Tang, wearing a long sword on his waist and bringing a group of military generals to the hall, he couldn't help but feel a little panicked, for fear that this reckless man would turn against him on the spot and really take action, he would have to suffer a great loss." Haha! Don't be afraid! This king's sword is not used to kill you! With your courage, you also want to be the emperor?"

The Tang King unconcealed his ridicule of his opponent in person, which caused the generals behind him to burst into laughter.

The scholar rebelled for three years! This group of civil officials who were powerless to hold King Kang also wanted to make a fuss? This seemed extremely funny in the eyes of the generals.

In the past, His Majesty suppressed him. Although civil officials and military generals fought against each other, they were still relatively restrained overall. Now His Majesty is gone. According to the tradition of respecting strength on the Central Continent, the country's important weapon is not controlled by a group of civil officials!

Seeing that King Tang was so arrogant and rude, Gongsun Zhijing was much more annoying than King Kang. She stared at him coldly and said, "Little Tang Dou, what are you doing?"

The call of Little Tang Dou made King Tang stunned. The two of them were cousins ​​and they played together since childhood. The name of this Little Tang Dou started at that time.

I remember when I was a child, Gongsun Tang always followed Gongsun Zhiqing, like a little tail that could not be shaken off. In a blink of an eye, both the siblings grew up. One became the queen of darkness who was in charge of national intelligence agencies, and the other became the mighty prince with great military achievements. (To be continued.)
