It is this woman, the source of all troubles.

Ten years ago, his mother, the former princess of Chu, died of illness. At that time, the Zheng State was ambitious, destroyed the Xu State, surrendered to the Chen State, and was about to dominate the Central Plains. It sent a large army to press against the Su State. After his father joined forces with Lu to retreat from Zheng, he

He adopted Wei Shu, the sister of the king of Wei State, who is also this girl.

Then, a period of unrest began at home.

This person wanted her nine-year-old son, his younger brother Su Ming, to ascend the throne, and she designed every possible way to do this.

Su Guo's wife Wei Shu said coldly: "Your Highness is so majestic. When you see your mother, can you not even be polite?"

Su Zhao said in a cold voice: "My late emperor's body was not yet cold, so my wife applied rouge to her cheeks, but her face showed no trace of sadness. Zhou Li said: "When you live in mourning for your husband, you will not accept Mian Wan." But the lady was dressed in rich clothes, her face was radiant, and she was happy.

Forgetting to mourn, why?”

The woman in front of me, in the near future, will not hesitate to have an affair with Yuan Bin and lure rebels into the palace in order to put her son in power.

He now even suspected that his father had always been in good health, but he fell ill a month ago, lingered in bed, and finally passed away suddenly three days ago. It was really full of doubts. Unfortunately, he had no time to investigate in his previous life.

Mrs. Su Guo's expression changed slightly and she said, "What do you mean by this?"

"It's nothing interesting. It's just that your late husband has just made a big move and I hope that my wife will behave more solemnly." Su Zhao looked at the woman in palace clothes coldly and said in a deep voice.

Now, before he ascends to the position of king of the Su Kingdom, it is still not appropriate for him to break up with this woman.

Mrs. Su Guo's face was as gloomy as water, and her lips were trembling with anger, but for some reason, she didn't dare to look at those calm and cold eyes.

"Qu Kai, take your people and follow you to the Zhongyuan Palace."

Su Zhao met Su Zijin's questioning gaze, held back the excitement of seeing the second generation again, and said calmly.

Su Zijin didn't take Su Zhao's indifference seriously either. Her younger brother had been a bit autistic since he was a child. Although he was young, he was dignified and serious in speech. Now that the late emperor has passed away, Su Da Su

The weight of the country is on his shoulders...

Thinking of this, Su Zijin couldn't help but look at Su Zhao with more and more pity.

At this time, Qu Kai answered his promise and led a group of black-clad armored men, surrounding Su Zhao, towards the Zhongyuan Hall.

When Mrs. Su saw this scene, she didn't know that Su Zhao was clearly going to succeed the king of Su. Her face showed panic, and she whispered to a female official next to her: "Quick, go and inform."

Da Sima."

Zhongyuan Hall

White flags have been hung around the outside of the palace. Soldiers and palace maids are all dressed in linen and plain clothes, standing with bowed heads. On the eaves of the corridor outside the palace, white wind lanterns are swaying back and forth in the bleak night rain, as if they are making a whimpering sound.

.

This is the place where the coffin of the king of the Su Kingdom rests. At this moment, there are some princes and ministers of the Su Kingdom with high crowns and thin belts and holding tablets. However, they are all wearing hemp and wearing mourning, with solemn expressions and no look of feasting on their faces.

There are the Grand Prime Minister, Zong Bo, Sikou, Situ, and Sikong of Su State, but the only one missing is Shang Qing, the Grand Sima Yuan Bin of Su State.

It is said that on the day the king of the Su Kingdom passed away, Su Zhao, as the eldest son, should have ascended the throne in front of the deceased. However, when Su Zhao was crying, he suddenly vomited blood and fell ill, so he was delayed.

Situ Meng Jichang, an old man dressed in black and wearing a bamboo crown, frowned and said, "The princess called me here late at night. What's the matter?"

The Grand Prime Minister of Su State Jing Hongdao sighed and said, "The monarch has recently lost his life, and His Highness is bedridden due to heavy grief. It is indeed a troubled year."

"Everyone, the top priority is to welcome the king. If we delay the decision for too long, we are afraid of getting into trouble with our elbows and armpits." Zongbo Sumao, an elder of the Su Yi clan, had white beard and white hair.

The crutch in his hand fell on the clear water floor, making a banging sound.

"What's the point? The country has its own laws. Your Highness is pious, filial, and has a reputation as a virtuous man. He is worthy of being the leader." Chen Shao, the secretariat of Su State, is a middle-aged man in black with a resolute face and a decree on his forehead.

The lines were deep, and he took over the conversation in a deep voice.

When several people heard this, they all looked at each other and turned their attention to the location of Su Guo's Grand Sima, even though there was no one there.

Yuan Bin, the Great Sima of the Su Kingdom, was one of the two high ministers of the Su Kingdom. He was rarely brave and courageous. Although he came from a noble family, he accumulated meritorious service and reached the position of Sima of the Su Kingdom.

Today Dian is in charge of one-third of Wenyi's troops and horses, which can be said to have great power, and even threatens the monarch's power to a certain extent.

At the beginning, Su Zhao's father was also keenly aware of this fact and tried to reduce his authority. However, Yuan Bin had penetrated deeply into the forces in the army and had become so powerful that he could only move around at best.

And just when everyone looked strange, a sharp eunuch's voice sounded, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness the Princess is here."

As everyone's eyes gathered, a young man in plain clothes walked slowly towards him, guarded by soldiers in black armor.

"I have met Your Highness."

"Everyone is safe."

Su Zhao's face was solemn, he stretched out his hand to help, and said in a steady voice with a slight tremor: "The country is currently in a very difficult situation. It depends on the efforts of all the ministers to make things right, so that everything inside and outside will be safe. I would like to thank you all.

"

Several ministers looked moved and even said they did not dare.

At this time, Su Zijin winked at Zongbo Su Mao who was standing aside.

Zongbo Sumao looked like the old god was there, as if he hadn't seen him.

At this time, the concept of etiquette was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Even if Su Zhao was the crown prince of the Su Kingdom and a well-deserved heir, there was no reason why he should do his duty and recommend himself when welcoming the new master.

At this time, Su Zijin felt disappointed and looked at Dazai Jinghong, who was once her brother's teacher.

However, Jing Hongdao also had droopy eyelids, as if he was wandering in the sky.

Su Zhao took this scene in his eyes, and was not surprised by the reaction of Zongbo Su Mao. This man was the elder of the clan and was in charge of Zongzheng affairs, but in fact he was just an old cunning man who loved harmony.

As for Jing Hongdao, he is a teacher who has always been well versed in the art of being wise and protecting oneself.

Su Zhao thought so and turned his attention to Sikou Chen Shao.

In his previous life, he was deeply jealous of this man's upright temperament and stubbornness, but it was this man who urged him to ascend the throne at this time. Of course, being incapable of strategizing, he had not figured out the link at all.

Not long after he came to the throne, Yuan Bin proposed to marry his sister Su Zijin on behalf of his son Yuan Ye. This person strongly supported him, so he was considered "jumping up and down" by himself, so he became more and more disgusted and alienated.

I am afraid that at that time, Chen Shao was keenly aware that Yuan Bin was using the pretext of proposing for his son to test his attitude as the new king of the Su Kingdom.

"Oh, I can't bear to look back."

Thinking of his past willfulness, Su Zhao felt ashamed and wanted to commit suicide.

Just when Su Zhao was silent and silent, as expected, Sikou Chen Shao looked solemn, bowed deeply, cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness, the country is now ownerless and the country is in turmoil. I only ask Your Highness to take over the throne."

, tell the story of the legacy of our ancestors, so that we can calm down our inner and outer minds."

With the first beginning, there was the second one. Situ Meng Jichang also held the wat tablet, bowed and said: "I invite you, Your Highness, to inherit the great authority, so as to reassure the superiors and subordinates."

Then, Dazai Jing Hongdao and Sikong Fan Yanxu also bowed to each other one after another. After that, Zong Bo Sumao's voice was neither loud nor quiet, and he bowed and bowed along with everyone.

"Brother."
