Steel Dynasty - Chapter 641

[Chapter 640 Worry]

Ciming Palace.

This was once the side hall where Concubine Zhen lived. After Xiao Ming ascended the throne, the name here was changed to Ciming Hall, because Ciming Hall specifically refers to the residence of the Empress Dowager in Dayu Kingdom.

After admonishing the maids and eunuchs in the palace, Xiao Ming and Fei Yue’er went to Ciming Hall. This was the last ceremony of the enthronement ceremony to show the emperor’s benevolence and filial piety.

After saluting, Xiao Ming and Fei Yue’er both breathed a sigh of relief. They were physically and mentally exhausted after a hard day, and now they could finally rest.

Concubine Zhen has always disliked these messy etiquettes. If she hadn’t reduced a lot of etiquette during this enthronement ceremony, the two of them would have been busy for several hours.

“The same goes for Pang Yukun and Feiji. The queen is pregnant, so they are not simple.” Concubine Zhen said as she pulled Fei Yueer to sit down.

Fei Yue’er said, “Mother, it’s okay. The emperor is enthroned today. The ministers are very happy and think it would be more grand.”

“Okay, okay, you are the best at being a peacemaker.” Concubine Zhen smiled broadly. .

Now that Xiao Ming has ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, she is relieved. From now on, her son will be above ten thousand people, and no one can challenge her authority. The only thing she needs to worry about is whether Xiao Ming will always be a famous king. .

After a pause, she turned to Xiao Ming and said, “Your Majesty, I don’t want to say anything else. With the current situation in the Chongqing Kingdom, I just hope that you can be the person who can turn the tide as before.”

“Don’t worry, Mother, I won’t They will be greedy for pleasure and forget the original intention of ascending the throne,” Xiao Ming said, suddenly changing his name to “I”, but Xiao Ming felt a little uncomfortable.

The two sat in Ciming Hall for a while and then came out of the hall.

As the days go by, Fei Yue’er’s belly is getting bigger day by day, and it is more inconvenient to move than before, so Xiao Ming doesn’t want her to show up everywhere now.

Back in the main hall, Xiao Ming helped Fei Yue’er sit down on the edge of the bed. At this time, Qian Dafu came to the front of the hall and asked, “Your Majesty, it’s getting late, it’s time to have dinner.”

Xiao Ming glanced at Qian Dafu, and then Shi Qian Dafu’s eyes flashed with excitement.

After he ascended the throne, Concubine Zhen assigned Qian Dafu to Xiao Ming. According to Concubine Zhen, the eunuchs around him must be reliable.

Now the only person Xiao Ming could trust was Qian Dafu. After thinking about it, he didn’t refuse.

Now that Concubine Zhen also lives in the palace, she can just ask Qian Dafu to talk to her when she has nothing to do, and Concubine Zhen’s mood has gradually stabilized.

On weekdays, I eat fast and chant Buddha’s name when I have nothing to do, but I don’t always need someone to accompany me.

Xiao Ming nodded. At this time, the palace maid entered the main hall with dishes. The table was quickly placed with carefully cooked dishes. These dishes were handed over to the kitchen by Xiao Ming in order to supplement Fei Yue’er’s nutrition.

After the food was served, Qian Dafu and the palace maid stood guard outside the door. The lights outside the bedroom were brightly lit. Although this was still a palace, it had some traces of palace life.

But despite this, for Xiao Ming, it was just a change of self-title, from a servant to a palace maid and a eunuch. This country was still the same country, and he needed to conquer it bit by bit.

“Your Majesty, our child is moving.” Fei Yue’er’s face was filled with the happiness of being a mother.

Xiao Ming suddenly felt warm in his heart when he heard this, and he said: “If you are so naughty, you will definitely be a little prince in the future.”

Fei Yue’er smiled softly, she stroked her belly and said, “I hope she is a girl, so that she can I won’t get involved in the right and wrong in the future.”

Xiao Ming looked sad. He naturally understood what Fei Yue’er meant. The chaos in Chang’an must have left her with lingering fears. She didn’t want her children to fall into such cruelty. in the political struggle.

Just being in the royal family has already destined her to be unable to escape some fate even as a princess, but Xiao Ming will never allow the battle between princes to happen again in the Great Chongqing Kingdom.

Because he will be the last emperor in the history of Dayu, and after him there will be no more imperial power passed down from father to son, generation after generation.

Since he holds the technology crystal, he must maintain his supreme imperial power so that he can fully promote the development of technology, otherwise he will only be pulled into slices.

An emperor who has lost his power is no different from a dog. In addition, he thinks he can use the knowledge of technological crystals to lead the country of Chongqing in the right direction.

It is precisely for this reason that he feels that it is not impossible for him to occupy the throne, because no matter in the past or in the future, Dayu will follow the policy of governing the country by wise men, so as not to let the country embark on the path of destruction due to personal interests.

“I will definitely protect him.” Xiao Ming smiled gently, which made the happiness in Fei Yue’er’s eyes grow stronger.

Unable to help herself, she leaned gently on Xiao Ming’s shoulder, facing the bright moon, and began to dream about the future.

Xiao Ming also looked at the bright moon in the sky. The enthronement ceremony ended successfully. Today’s success was the result of the bloody battle of the feudal soldiers against the three kings’ coalition.

He is a little worried now. He wonders what is the current war situation in Yunzhou City?

While he was thinking, the soldiers of Yunzhou City had just finished a battle. The walls of Yunzhou City were full of coalition soldiers and corpses. The blood had dyed the walls of Yunzhou City red. The smell of blood was so strong that it was nauseating. , and more corpses of soldiers were lying in various shapes under the city.

This was the fifth day that the Allied Forces of the Three Kings attacked the city. Facing the city defended by artillery and musketry, the Allied forces, which lost the lives of 18,000 soldiers, were defeated again.

Taking advantage of the darkness, Niubeng’s generals commanded the soldiers to reinforce the city wall and transport artillery shells and gunpowder. Although the Three Kings coalition attacked the city as usual today, they clearly felt that the coalition soldiers were war-weary.

Although the coalition military governors were still executing cruel military orders, the soldiers did not pay attention at all when they attacked the city. Some soldiers even pretended to be dead under the city.

When they were cleaning the battlefield, these coalition soldiers would suddenly get up and surrender en masse. Today, when they were cleaning the battlefield at night, they detained another two thousand coalition soldiers who were pretending to be dead.

“General, the number of soldiers in the coalition army has dropped significantly in the past few days. According to these prisoners, there are more and more deserters in the army. The commanders of Yan State, Liang State, and Zhao State are also wary of each other, and they are unwilling to send their own soldiers to fight in the vanguard. , It seems that, as His Highness said, these three kings are working together, but there are many conflicts within them, and they are also wary of each other,” Lu Fei said.

Niu Ben nodded and said: “It’s just that it’s not the time to counterattack yet. The news that the Yongzhou Army has captured Bingzhou has not come yet. As soon as the news comes, it will be time to go out of the city to fight.”

Lu Fei scratched his head, he had already He wanted to go out and annihilate the three kings’ coalition, but Niu Ben was obviously much more stable. Now that the general said this, he could only nod his head.
