At that time, Situ Liuyun had just entered the palace and had just gathered his troops together. Someone said:
"Report from the frontier---"
"Send it up."
Standing at the top of the Jinluan Palace, Situ Liuyun said calmly.
The eunuch on the side immediately picked up the letter and handed it to Situ Liuyun, while Shen Zicong just looked at Situ Liufeng and smiled.
Situ Liuyun opened the letter, glanced at it, his expression suddenly changed, then he raised his head, and a storm immediately gathered in his eyes:
"Who spread the rumor that Bai Li is about to attack Fengxiang?"
Shen Zicong lifted up his official robe and immediately knelt down:
"It's Wei Chen."
"you..."
"Brother, what's wrong???"
Because he had not yet ascended the throne, and because of his close relationship with Situ Liuyun, Situ Liufeng's attitude towards Situ Liuyun was as usual.
Situ Liuyun's face was so gloomy that water dripped from his face:
"Sure enough, you can't be kind to a woman!!!"
Then he handed the letter in his hand to Situ Liufeng. Situ Liufeng took it and looked at it curiously, and his expression immediately changed.
"Huh? What's going on?"
Zhong Liyue also saw that something was wrong and asked.
Situ Liufeng had a gloomy face:
"Bai Li Kingdom has no intention of attacking Fengxiang at all. The reason for raising troops this time is just because Queen Bai Li visited Fengxiang Kingdom in person. Those troops are not hundreds of thousands, but only a few thousand..."
"Well..."
Zhong Liyue might as well think that the truth would be like this.
She looked confused:
"That's not right... There are rumors circulating outside that hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the Baili Kingdom are pressing down on the border, saying that Fengxiang is in danger..."
Situ Liuyun snorted coldly and glared at Shen Zicong who was kneeling on the ground:
"Of course someone is deliberately spreading rumors to make people panic and lure us into taking the bait!!!"
Zhong Liyue followed Situ Liuyun's line of sight and saw Shen Zicong.
Shen Zicong took his time:
"Wei Chen is just practicing for the emperor how fragile Feng Xiang will be without the emperor."
"Nonsense... We won't want this throne."
"Long live my emperor, long live me."
As soon as Situ Liuyun finished speaking, all the ministers present knelt down again.
"Is there no one left in Fengxiang? Do we have to find two unwilling people to be the emperor?"
Situ Liuyun sat on the dragon chair and asked coldly.
The representative who spoke up was still Shen Zicong:
"Back to the Emperor, we, Fengxiang, are a great country with many talented people. However, no one is as civilized and talented as you, Your Majesty, and no one is more suitable than you."
"Then why do you have to make us emperor???"
This was somewhat abnormal based on Situ Liuyun's past character.
In the past, he would not have doubts, let alone express his doubts.
And when he asks these questions now, he obviously has an agenda.
“It’s destiny!!!”
The ministers who were kneeling on the ground answered in unison.
"Good, what a destiny!"
"Actually, it's not impossible for you to want me to be the emperor."
Shen Zicong's face was full of joy:
"Whatever the conditions are, your Majesty can ask for them."
At the beginning, his master Kong Lingzi said that Brother Situ would lead Fengxiang to usher in a new era. He also specifically told him that there might be many new things, new ideas, and new rules. He hoped that when he came into contact with those new things, he would not resist them blindly, but rather
Think carefully and weigh the pros and cons before making any calculations.
All of Situ Liuyun's previous questions were all designed to dig traps and impose conditions.
What he wants is Shen Zicong's promise.
He had just made a brief observation and found that Shen Zicong, the supervisor of the country, was quite successful. The ministers present seemed to take him as the leader in everything they did.
If such a person is loyal, he can be regarded as a very important right-hand man.
"First, I want to abolish the harem. I will only have one wife."
Zhong Liyue was moved to tears when she heard this. She didn't expect that the first question asked by Situ Liuyun turned out to be such an insignificant question in the eyes of others.
Now the harem was full of the late emperor's concubines, and it was easy for Situ Liuyun to dismiss each one of them, so most of the ministers agreed.
However, it cannot be ruled out that some old-fashioned people still cannot accept it.
"Second, my brother Situ Liufeng and I are going to ascend the throne together. In this generation, Fengxiang implements a dual-emperor system. I am the Ming Emperor and he is the Dark Emperor."
"This is okay too."
This had been discussed with the loyal ministers when Shen Zicong came back. They even planned to suggest this to Situ Liuyun and Situ Liufeng when they were confused and didn't know who would ascend the throne.
"Third, Shen Zicong - you will be fined half a year's salary, and you are required to sort out all the important matters of the ministers and Feng Xiang within one day, and send them to my palace - I don't want the late emperor's in the palace, we will meet later
Choose your own palace, and the emperor will demolish it first."
When all the ministers below heard that Situ Liuyun was going to demolish the former emperor's palace, they all rolled their eyes angrily and almost lost their temper.
That was the palace where successive emperors of Fengxiang lived.
In ancient times, when the emperor was the ruler of his ministers, this was simply blasphemy in the eyes of the noble ministers who regarded the emperor as the real dragon and emperor.
However, Shen Zicong had long expected that Situ Liuyun would put forward some conditions and so on, and he had already told them that no matter what the conditions were, they should try their best to agree---According to Shen Zicong's own words, if it is really inappropriate to agree to conditions, we will not accept them until they ascend the throne.
I regretted it later... Of course, he was just joking, but to a certain extent, he also encouraged ministers to tolerate it as long as they can.
Therefore, even though one or two of them were blushing from holding it in, no one raised any objections.
Only Shen Zicong was crying with a face that seemed to be always smiling:
"Your Majesty... I have no objection to you giving me half a year's salary. But, but, can you give me two more days for the task you assigned me?"
Ugh, he will be exhausted after doing all that in one day.
Revenge!!! Revenge!!! Situ Liuyun’s revenge!!!
Alas, it seems that these two emperors will not be easy to serve in the future...
