"I heard that the general has raised doubts about the death of the late emperor, and also has some other opinions on the issue of canonizing the new emperor."

"So... he took the cavalry and hurried back overnight. That day, the whole capital could hear the sound of horse hooves several miles outside the city. I don't know how many cavalry there were. Then, the wise king sent

He opened the largest gate in the capital and kept it open, while he took the imperial army to the outskirts to respond."

Zhao Rong twitched the corner of his mouth, but this time he didn't speak anymore, and still listened quietly.

Yun Niang breathed out softly, "But later, the general and the wise king entered the city and palace alone, while all the soldiers and horses stayed outside the city."

Although most of these things were heard by Yun Niang, now that the news has spread, it has spread among the government and the public.

It may be exaggerated or overly misinterpreted, but it must have certain reference value and allow people to understand the general situation.

After about half a stick of incense.

Zhao Rong thought silently in his heart:

Leaving the court, orphans, widows, and two warriors?

Well, one of them is the uncle and brother-in-law of the first two...

Soon, he raised his eyes and asked, "What happened next?"

Yun Niang shook her head, "The rumors in those days were very strange. Some time ago, there were still rumors in the government and the public that the young prince was young and had to be stronger than a woman's hands. Even though the empress dowager Dugu was virtuous and virtuous, she knew etiquette and observed etiquette.

, but it will inevitably make the prince's character inappropriate and unfit to hold the territory and throne that Taizu conquered on horseback."

"Within two days, all the civil and military officials, as well as the wise kings, all publicly stated that only the prince was suitable to inherit the throne, and they fully supported it. As for the general, there was no movement."

"And the tone of the government and the public has also changed. Everyone said that the young prince was extremely filial, and he cried bitterly in front of the late emperor's coffin and fainted to death at a young age. Empress Dugu even endured the pain and stayed in the main hall to keep vigil, and even went without eating or drinking for three days.

He was very thin and haggard. Some people even said that such pure filial piety and family affection made them fall silent after being witnessed by the wise king and the general that day. In the end, they tacitly put aside their conflicts and recognized the little prince."

"As for the growth of the young prince mentioned before, isn't there still a battle-hardened uncle, King Xian, who can teach him more and educate the young prince together with the Empress Dowager Dugu?"

Yun Niang sighed softly and paused.

Zhao Rong raised his eyebrows.

Yun Niang continued: "So, a few days later, the prince ascended the throne to everyone's expectation, and the chaos passed. However, later I heard that the general suddenly left the capital on the night of the prince's enthronement.

Participate in the ceremony.”

"Now, Queen Dugu and the Empress Dowager are away from home, listening to the government behind the curtain. The King Xian has also been appointed as the regent, and the two nobles are assisting the government together."

Zhao Rong nodded and said nothing.

Yun Niang seemed to have thought of something and said cautiously: "Master, Mr. Zhao, are you coming to Dali now to confer a Zen title on our Emperor Li?"

Gu Yiwu nodded, "That's right."

Yun Niang thought: "Before the death of the late emperor, he was also preparing to confer Zen status. This matter was the top priority at that time. We, the people of Dali, were also looking forward to the late Emperor's conferment ceremony. It's a pity... But although the new emperor

The emperor is young, but now it seems that he will continue to become a Zen monk, which is what everyone expected. He will fulfill the late emperor's wish and pray for our great separation at the same time. Alas, although it is late, he has come. Alas, I also hope

We can continue to have peace in the future.”

Are they really all the same?

Is the significance of holding the Zen ceremony really the same for Taizu Li and the current new emperor?

Zhao Rong nodded, then shook his head.

When Taizu Li invited the Confucian scholars of Linlu Academy to preside over the ceremony of Zen, it was to completely establish the throne and power of the emperor and to prepare for the great achievements after Li.

And now the new emperor’s Fengchan...

There seem to be some similarities, but the two Dali emperors are indeed in completely different forms.

And the current Da Li... is also different.

Zhao Rong narrowed his eyes.

When Meng Xuezheng came down the mountain, although he didn't know what he was doing when he was out, he must have promised to confer Zen status on Taizu Li.

A month ago, Li Taizu passed away, and the matter should have been left alone. After all, the title of Zen is reserved for wise kings, and everyone must be self-aware.

But now it seems that it is probably the new emperor... No, he is too young. Unless he is precocious, he will not be sensible at all.

Therefore, it should be the person behind him, well, it should be his mother, the Empress Dowager Dugu who is currently at the top of the Dali court. She should have sent people to Linlu Academy to look for Meng Zhengjun again, asking her to continue to serve for Dali.

The royal family held a ceremony to enshrine Zen.

And Meng Zhengjun probably agreed because he had already promised to the Dali royal family, but for some unknown reason, he did not take care of it himself, and handed the matter over to their Mochi students as part of the assessment...

Zhao Rong lowered his eyes and remained silent, sometimes frowning slightly.

Yun Niang had already finished telling what she knew. Seeing the strange Mr. Zhao in front of her thinking about something, Yun Niang and Gu Yiwu looked at each other.

The latter shook his head.

Yun Niang lowered her head and hands, quiet and meek.

Gu Yiwu also tacitly agreed not to bother Zhao Rong.

He turned around and stared at the situation at the camp, then stood still and waited.

Zhao Rong suddenly reached out from his sleeve and took out the map of mountains and rivers.

He looked over the topography of Dali, and at a certain moment, he paused with his fingers.

The pad of his finger pointed somewhere.

"Brother Ziyu, what's wrong?" Gu Yiwu asked curiously when he saw this, then turned to:

"By the way, do you still have questions to ask Yun Niang? If not, let's hurry up and hurry up. We have rested for a long time. You also said before that we have to rush to Dali Capital as soon as possible."

Zhao Rong was looking around, not knowing what he was looking at.

Hearing this, he looked back at Gu Yiwu and slowly shook his head.

"Okay, let's continue on our way, but let's find a place to rest on the way. Well, this is it."

He pointed towards the map of mountains and rivers.

Gu Yiwu took a closer look and asked curiously: "Xingzi... Zhen? This is not on the fastest route you chose before, it is slightly off. Ziyu, why don't we hurry up and get on our way?"

Zhao Rong smiled and said, "Don't worry, we can play for a few more days before leaving."

Gu Yiwu scratched his head, "Play? How many days will it take?"

Zhao Rong thought for a while and said seriously: "I don't know either."

Gu Yiwu: “…………”

Zhao Rong chuckled and turned to look at the maple forest to the south.
