Iron Dynasty

PS: There are two more chapters a little later.

quack……

A burst of baby crying suddenly sounded, and Empress Zhao, who was about to drop the baby, suddenly hesitated.

Motherhood made her heart unbearable for a while. At this moment, King Zhao seized the opportunity and suddenly reached out and grabbed the thirteenth prince in the hands of Queen Zhao.

Queen Zhao was shocked, but it was already too late. King Zhao's strength was so great that she was not allowed to snatch it at all.

Holding the Thirteenth Prince in his arms, King Zhao's face suddenly turned cold. He said to the guards, Watch the Queen, no one can see her without my order.

Yes, Your Highness. The soldier in black armor immediately closed the door of the side hall, leaving only Queen Zhao's hoarse cry.

King Zhao walked outside the door and said to the general behind him, Go to the city immediately to find a wet nurse for the Thirteenth Prince, without delay.

The general clasped his fists in response, and left with a group of men.

At this moment, another group of cavalry stopped in front of him, and a general got off the horse and said, Your Highness, Concubine Zhen and others probably ran away on something in the sky.

King Zhao looked up at the sky at this moment, two huge objects slowly drifting from the sky in between, and in the baskets below the huge spheres were some women in exquisite costumes.

This must be the hot air balloon in Yuanliang's mouth, huh, this King Qi is really not an easy opponent, but Yuanliang said that the hot air balloon can't fly very far, and now you immediately bring a team to chase. Zhao Wang looked at the balloon in the sky and said.

The generals left, and another general came back to report after a while, saying, Your Highness, Qingzhou merchant ships left at Chang'an Pier. The people at the dock said that these merchant ships transported many soldiers and officials to leave.

Qingzhou Merchant Ship. King Zhao's brows furrowed.

Now his attitude towards Xiao Ming is a bit complicated, because Zhao Di's muskets and artillery are all purchased from Qingzhou. This time King Qi sent someone to rescue him. If he offends too deeply, the arms business will naturally be impossible.

But thinking that now they have mastered the forging method of arquebus, and this time they captured a lot of artillery in Chang'an City, so he said: You also sent a pair of men and horses to chase along the river bank.

Yes. The general led the way.

At this time, King Zhao glanced at the hot air balloon, and then glanced at the direction of the pier. He couldn't help but hesitate. Now he was a little unsure whether this Concubine Zhen was going with the boat or the hot air balloon.

It's just that the chasing troops he sent can only be divided into two chases.

Looking at the hot air balloon again, King Zhao walked to the stone bridge, Xiao Wenxuan died, but before the thirteenth prince ascended the throne, Xiao Wenxuan must be held a state funeral, which is a royal etiquette that cannot be abandoned.

They were only able to hold the enthronement ceremony after the state funeral, when the Thirteenth Prince supported the throne and began his rule over the Great Yu Kingdom.

Naturally, he was too lazy to bother with these complicated etiquette, but he had already sent someone to convene the officials of Chang'an. With these people, Xiao Wenxuan's funeral could be successfully completed.

Thinking of being able to control Chang'an soon, King Zhao's face became more and more happy.

At this time, the Qingzhou merchant ship carrying the escape from Chang'an City had already traveled a long distance along the rapids.

Looking at the beacon fire in Chang'an City from afar, Luo Quan and Fiji had mixed feelings.

This is really a national disaster, a shame for the Great Yu country. Fiji looked sad and his tone was a little low.

Luo Quan's mood was also low, and he said to Fiji: Now that's the truth, no amount of sighing is useless. You still think about how Qingzhou told Xiao Ming about this will.

More than that, so many courtiers followed, and it is also a problem to arrive in Qingzhou. Fiji shook his head.

Luo Hong said at this time: His Royal Highness has just passed the government affairs reform recently. This domestic official position is very vacant. Maybe His Highness is very welcome, but...

Just what... Luo Quan asked.

When I was in Qingzhou, Luo Xin told me that, in fact, His Royal Highness does not dislike officials outside Qingzhou, but if you want to serve in Qingzhou's officialdom, you must study at Bowen College and pass the relevant exams. Luo Hong said.

Fiji nodded, This Yue'er told me that since he has entered Qingzhou, he will naturally follow the local customs, not to mention that the current Highness will soon become His Majesty.

Speaking of this, the expressions of the three of them were a little gloomy.

Luo Quan said: Now that King Zhao occupies Chang'an, he will definitely support the Thirteenth Prince to succeed him. If so, wouldn't His Majesty's edict be useless.

Not only that, but the letter of entry that His Majesty asked King Qi to sign is still in the imperial study, and King Zhao can even use this to announce to the world that he does not recognize the emperor's current edict.

Luo Hong said: Actually, it is meaningless to leave the edict without the edict. Now the world is in chaos, and they are in their own hands. Even if there is no edict, the King of Qi is the royal bloodline.

Well, you're right. In this situation, the edict is true or false. Fiji said, After waiting for Qingzhou, we will discuss the matter with King Qi.

When the three were talking, the news of the chaos in Chang'an quickly spread to all parts of the Great Yu Kingdom.

This time, the third prince and the fourth prince fled separately. On the way, they spread the news of the prince's rebellion. For a time, the people on the royal land were panicked.

The news of Li San arrived in Qingzhou three days after the 800 miles of the Secret Guard.

After opening the secret letter from Chang'an, Xiao Ming's heart was ups and downs - the Great Yu Kingdom is in chaos!

Your Highness, what's wrong?

Pang Yukun, Zhan Xingchang, Niu Ben and others were all in the palace of King Qi, and they saw the change in Xiao Ming's expression.

Xiao Ming handed the secret letter to Pang Yukun, You can read it for yourself.

When the three heard the words, they immediately gathered together and looked at it. When they learned that the prince had murdered the king, and that King Zhao brought the black armored cavalry and the barbarian cavalry into Chang'an City, the three exchanged glances at the same time.

Not only did they not panic, but Pang Yukun said to Xiao Ming, His Royal Highness, with the character of King Zhao, he will definitely not let the prince ascend the throne. I am afraid that the thirteenth prince will become the puppet of King Zhao, so we don't need to listen at all. The order of the imperial court.

Yes, after this time, I'm afraid it's not only us who think so, whether it's King Wei, King Yong or other vassal kings, they will no longer obey the orders of the imperial court. In the past, he and the imperial court were very close to each other. Now I am afraid that it is only time to become independent. problem, Zhan Xingchang added.

Niu Ben is a soldier who always goes straight. He said, Now is an opportunity for Your Highness. When the world is in chaos, it is time for the times to create heroes.

Both Pang Yukun and Zhan Xingchang's words are more euphemistic, but Niu Ben's words are very straightforward.

At present, the matter of Chang'an is not clear. We will discuss it when Li San comes back.
