Chapter 1005: Change of Heaven (Part 2)

"I, Shangguan Wuji, pay my respects to Your Highness the Princess!"

Inside the main hall of Mingyu Palace, Shangguan Wuji, the commander of the Hanhai Army, politely paid his respects to Princess Qingyun.

"General Shangguan, please excuse me. Please take a seat."

Princess Qingyun had already learned the cause of the incident. Facing the Zhenxi General who commanded 50,000 Hanhai Army soldiers, the teenage girl suppressed her fear and anxiety and showed the bearing of a royal family.

Of course, Wang Chen, who was standing next to her, gave her the greatest courage!

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Shangguan Wuji sat down on the chair and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, I led the army to surround Mingyu Palace, not with any ill intentions, but in accordance with the order of the Queen Mother. Please forgive me if I have offended you."

Queen Mother!

The words of the general immediately set off a storm in the main hall.

No one could understand why the current Queen Mother would do such a thing.

Even though Princess Qingyun was not born to the Queen Mother, she married to Dayan for the alliance between the two countries. The Queen Mother suddenly intervened and ordered the border troops to besiege the marriage team. It was really incredible!

Wang Chen's eyes flashed: "General Shangguan, just tell me, what happened in Daye?"

If there was no major change in the imperial capital, such a thing would never happen.

Intuition told Wang Chen that Emperor Shaowu was in trouble!

Shangguan Wuji glanced at Wang Chen, and then looked at the astonished Princess Qingyun again, with a trace of pity in his eyes: "Ten days ago, the Daye Palace changed, and the Queen Mother returned to rule the country. She has abolished the emperor and re-established His Royal Highness King Jing as the emperor!"

"Three days later, His Royal Highness King Jing will officially ascend the throne!"

Princess Qingyun's eyes suddenly turned black and she fainted on the spot. Fortunately, she was supported by a maid.

This news was too exciting, so that her already tense spirit completely collapsed and she could no longer bear it.

"Help the princess go down to rest."

Wang Chen said in a deep voice: "Let the imperial physician come to treat her, there must be no mistakes!"

After the maids took Princess Qingyun away, Wang Chen ordered the guards present to leave the hall, leaving only Sun Zhengheng.

Although Shangguan Wuji brought the guards, the general was brave and entered the hall alone, so now only he, Wang Chen and Sun Zhengheng were left.

Wang Chen said lightly: "General Shangguan, what does the queen mother mean?"

This question was asked without respect, which made Shangguan Wuji's eyes twitch, and a trace of doubt appeared in his eyes.

Since Hanhai County is located in the border of Daliang, thousands of miles away from Daye, it is not easy to communicate with each other on a normal basis. It depends entirely on flying eagles and fast riders to send messages, and the efficiency has always been very low.

Therefore, Shangguan Wuji has some understanding of Wang Chen, who is the marriage envoy, but his understanding is very limited.

As a teenager, Wang Chen's sophistication and calmness surprised Shangguan Wuji.

What surprised him even more was that he couldn't see through Wang Chen's background!

You should know that Shangguan Wuji is one of the six-level martial masters in Daliang.

This made the general of Zhenxi more apprehensive.

After thinking for a while, Shangguan Wuji said: "The Queen Mother's meaning is actually the meaning of His Royal Highness Jing Wang. Princess Qingyun can no longer go to Dayan. She wants to marry the King of the Southern Barbarians!"

Barbarian King!

Wang Chen's heart was really galloping.

The Southern Barbarians refer to the barbarians in the south of Daliang. The Southern Barbarians are composed of large and small tribes. The most powerful tribe is the leader and self-proclaimed the King of the Barbarians. It can barely be regarded as a country.

But compared with Daliang, Dayan, Daqi and other countries, the barbarians are very backward, which is equivalent to the difference between feudal dynasties and primitive tribes. The latter still has the custom of eating raw meat and drinking blood.

But the barbarians are natural warriors, brave and aggressive, fearless of death, and often harass the southern border counties of Daliang.

It is also one of the main external threats of Daliang.

Daliang had also tried to completely solve this scourge, but the Nanman tribes lived in the mountains and forests, occupying an absolute geographical advantage, and the barbarian wizards were good at using Gu, and several encirclements ended with the Liang army losing soldiers and generals.

The barbarians were rude and brutal, and many of them had no humanity. The barbarian king was notoriously bloodthirsty and cruel.

The Queen Mother and King Jing actually wanted to marry Princess Qingyun to the barbarian king, which was equivalent to pushing her into the fire pit. How vicious their intentions were!

Wang Chen finally understood why Shangguan Wuji surrounded Mingyu's palace.

He was afraid that Princess Qingyun would get the news and then refuse to obey the will!

After all, the 3,000 elite Yulin escorting the marriage team belonged to Princess Qingyun's personal guards. Once they started fighting, the situation would be difficult to control and casualties would be inevitable.

Shangguan Wuji obviously wanted to win without fighting!

"It was the governor's idea to poison him." Shangguan Wuji obviously saw what Wang Chen was thinking and said, "I don't think it was real poison, right?" Wang Chen did not comment. He did not want to talk about this topic because it was meaningless now. The important thing was: "General Shangguan, the Queen Mother and King Jing are doing this. Aren't they afraid that Dayan will turn against them?" Shangguan Wuji was silent for a moment, and then replied, "Your Highness King Jing is likely to ally with Qi to destroy Yan, just waiting for Dayan to turn against them and attack them, and then send troops at the same time as Qi." Wang Chen was speechless. The fat King Jing appeared in his mind. He did not expect the other party to hide so deeply! Wang Chen also misjudged him at that time. Wang Chen did not forget that King Jing joined the most elite Tiger Guards of Daliang when he was thirteen years old, and had been serving in the army, fighting on the front line with Qi, and had made great contributions.

Therefore, in the minds of many people, Liang Shijie is the most suitable prince to inherit the throne.

However, when Emperor Shaowu came to the throne later, in order to consolidate his throne, the Queen Mother specially recalled King Jing to Daye to offer him as a memorial, in order to prevent the latter from becoming powerful in the army and threatening Emperor Shaowu.

Now King Jing actually wants to join forces to destroy Yan. The water here is too deep!

"You may not know that His Highness Prince Jing's mother is the Queen Mother's niece!"

Shangguan Wuji said: "The Queen Mother's natal family was originally an exiled noble from Daqi, but the Holy Emperor insisted on fighting Daqi to the end. Countless manpower and material resources have been wasted over the years, and Daliang is almost unable to support it."

Wang Chen immediately understood why the Queen Mother had to change her ways and establish a new emperor!

He sneered: "Then what can Da Qi get?"

Daliang and Daqi have had a blood feud for generations, and King Jing has fought many battles with Daqi. Even if there is a connection with the Queen Mother's family, why should Daqi become an ally with Daliang?

Shangguan Wuji was silent for another moment before replying: "King Jing will probably cede the three northern counties to Da Qi."

Wang Chen really laughed this time: "This is seeking skin from a tiger!"

"You know it's poison, but you still want to taste it."

There was a trace of helplessness in Shangguan Wuji's voice: "Otherwise, we in Daliang will probably be destroyed by Da Qi and Dayan together."

He looked at Wang Chen: "Wang Taibao, now that the matter is over, what are your plans?"
