Shen Mingzhu and Xiao Xian were sitting in the cabin playing chess. She glanced outside and happened to see Xia Zhilin's tall figure. She smiled and said, "Your Majesty, shall we go?"
Xiao Xian took a look at the chess game and saw that the two were still in a draw. He had to admire Mingzhu's chess skills. Even he couldn't win every time.
He picked up the chess pieces one by one and put them in the chess piece box, and looked at her, "This journey has been very boring. Let's go to his fief to take a look and relax."
He held her hand and led her to stand up, "Let's go."
Ever since he came back, Shen Mingzhu basically didn't care about anything and just let him make decisions. All she had to do was follow him.
She also enjoys the feeling of being cared for and taken care of, which is really good.
She smiled slightly, "Of course, let's go back to the capital now. The capital is waiting for them. It's not pleasant to go back at this time. After a while, let them go from nervous to tired, and let's go back so that they can't lift such a heavy weight."
Wouldn’t it be better if we have more strength?”
The two of them walked out of the cabin and onto the deck as they spoke.
Xia Zhilin saw them coming out and cupped his hands, "Your Majesty and Miss Shen are fine."
Xiao Xian nodded slightly, "Long time no see, Commander Xia has found another job."
Xia Zhilin smiled openly, without the slightest embarrassment of abandoning Emperor Qin and defecting to Xiao Wen, "It should be said that Emperor Chu saved Xiaguan's family. If it weren't for Your Majesty, I'm afraid our family would have perished with the death of the old lady."
He knew the emperor's thoughts very well. Once the emperor had murderous intentions, he would never leave a chance. If it hadn't been for Xiao Wen, he would have been dead.
Even if the family will not be wiped out, at least the young and promising ones will be eliminated under various excuses.
This is not what he wants to see.
"Chu...Huang." Xiao Xian repeated in a low voice.
Xiao Wen established himself as king and took out the late emperor's edict. He was originally the prince, so he naturally wanted to follow the edict and ascend the throne.
He still continued the title of Qin, but changed the title of the reign to Chu. This was the fiefdom given to him by the former emperor, and the prince's fiefdom.
Later, in order to avoid disaster, he asked himself to be demoted to the king of Chu, and his fiefdom remained unchanged in Chu land.
Xiao Wen and his followers have always believed that he is the orthodox one. Even if he becomes the emperor now, it is not considered a rebellion, but an attempt to bring order out of chaos!
At first, they were afraid of Xiao Xian, so they never took any action. They even thought about supporting Xiao Run to deal with Xiao Che. But later, the emperor fell out with Shen Mingzhu and indirectly with Xiao Xian. Xiao Wen felt that the opportunity had come.
Until Xiao Xian was announced to have died suddenly, Xiao Wen knew that regardless of whether Xiao Xian died or not, his chance had come.
Xiao Xian can no longer help the emperor.
Therefore, he ordered several of his followers to cause several riots. With their deliberate fueling, other people who could not survive due to heavy taxes and excessive labor also began to rebel. As a result, the Qin Dynasty successively
Several peasant riots broke out.
Afterwards, Xiao Wen proclaimed himself emperor amidst the peasant rebellion.
In fact, there were many people who supported him. There were several old princes who were very loyal to the old emperor. After the emperor forced the palace, in order to preserve their strength, they did not go to Beijing for King Qin. Instead, they chose Xiao Wen's strategy and wrote a letter stating that
Recognizing the emperor's status also retained his original power.
These forces have always expressed their loyalty to the emperor, so although the emperor intends to weaken them, he does not have a good chance.
