"Old slave estimates that the strength of this group of people should be stronger than before." Eunuch Cui said in a low voice.

"I'm really looking forward to it. I wonder how much the elders of the Wu clan have grown?" the emperor asked coldly.

"Your Majesty, I suspect that Prime Minister Qi has already interacted with these elders."

"You mean, Prime Minister Qi has united with these elders?" The emperor frowned.

"yes."

"Hmph! I want to see how powerful the Witch Clan really is? Have the old guys who disappeared with the Witch King not been found yet?"

"No, these people seem to have disappeared out of thin air."

"Hey! Fortunately, Sheng Lixin married the Witch Emperor's daughter at that time, otherwise the direct line of the Witch Emperor would have been lost." The emperor sighed. When they were young, they traveled all over Shangzhou and met many people.

A group of powerful Wu Clan people, they all live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, never participate in the internal battles of the Wu Clan, and never interfere in worldly affairs, but they have mastered many secrets.

It was not until the Witch Emperor was killed and Jiang Yuxian was brought out by the Heavenly Master that their identities were revealed. These people were originally prepared by the Witch Emperor for his daughter, but the Witch Emperor did not expect that the Heavenly Master would change Jiang Yuxian's appearance and send her to Shang Zhou's house.

Beijing.

Over the years, Jiang Yuxian has been living in the capital as an orphan, and she and Lan Wen have become close friends. When Sheng Lixin wanted to marry Yuxian, she encountered many rumors and obstacles. Only the emperor, who was still the prince at the time, was very supportive.

After they got married, they had a daughter, but the child died soon after, and finally they had Sheng Zhengye, now the eldest son of the Hou Mansion, and Sheng Zhiyao's father.

"Your Majesty, maybe the princess and Ji will appear when they wait. After all, the Heavenly Master said that only the princess has inherited the power of the Witch Emperor."

"Hey! I hope." The emperor sighed. He couldn't recruit the Wu tribe with just a word. So although he used force to temporarily suppress the leaderless Wu tribe at that time, he also made him sit on the throne of Prince Shang Zhou.

, but in the past few years, the strength of the Wu clan has also recovered. In addition, many people have taken refuge in Xi Chu in the past few years. These people from the Wu clan have become more and more rampant. He can't sit back and ignore it, so he just

Some measures can be taken to deter these witch people.

However, this time Prime Minister Qi suddenly mentioned the magic medicine, which made him very strange. Could it be that these people have really arrived in the capital as the Tianshi said?

Could it be that they came to see Sheng Zhiyao?

Thinking of this possibility, the emperor's face turned gloomy.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late. It's time to rest. I'll take my leave first." Eunuch Cui reminded him in a low voice.

"Well, you should go down and have a rest." The emperor waved his hand.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Eunuch Cui bowed and turned to leave.

The next day, news spread in the court that Feng Yuanchen was named King Chen.

The news caused a huge stir.

All the officials in the court were talking about it. The emperor had not established a prince in these years, and none of the princes had been crowned king. But now he suddenly crowned an emperor's grandson who had just returned to Beijing, which puzzled many ministers.

"Your Majesty, although the grandson of Emperor Yuanchen has military merit, he is only fifteen years old and still needs experience. Now that the grandson of Emperor Yuanchen has been granted the title of King Chen, does this violate the system?" An older man said

The minister stood up and asked.

"Your Majesty, it doesn't matter whether Feng Yuanchen has military merit or not. What's important is that he has no ability to control the ministers. Therefore, I sincerely ask your Majesty to take back the title." Another minister stood up and said.

"Your Majesty, I second your proposal."

"I also second the proposal."

For a time, all the ministers were talking about their opinions.

The emperor looked calm and seemed not interested in the objections of his ministers.

"My decision has been made." He said four words indifferently. When the ministers saw this, they said no more, "Since there are no other opinions, let's dismiss the court. I am tired and want to rest." The Emperor

He waved his hands and said.

When the ministers saw that the emperor was resolute, they had no choice but to leave angrily.

On the way out of the palace, the ministers were talking a lot, especially the ministers who had a close relationship with Prime Minister Qi. They were very puzzled. However, due to the emperor's power, they did not dare to show it and had to whisper.

"The emperor is so confused. How could he make an unpopular concubine king?" a minister said angrily.

"Yes, the emperor liked the grandson of Yuan Qing very much at the beginning. Why did he suddenly ban him? He is really confused."

"That's right, that's right, what's so good about this bastard? Is it because he took advantage of General Fubaiyan and won military honors this time?" Another minister also said very dissatisfied.

They, relying on the influence of Prime Minister Qi, have been hanging out in the court for many years. Of course, they know how unpopular Feng Yuanchen is in the Second Prince's Mansion, so they are so angry. However, above the court, Qi

Even though the Prime Minister was away, no one dared to express their dissatisfaction, so they only dared to talk in private and did not dare to show it openly.

They have to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion as soon as possible to discuss countermeasures with Prime Minister Qi. They don't know what is happening to Emperor Feng Yuan Qing's grandson now.

"Everyone, let's wait until Prime Minister Qi comes back to make plans for this matter. If Prime Minister Qi thinks this is a good thing, we will go along with the situation. If he is not willing, we will think of countermeasures." Another minister comforted.

Everyone agreed.

Only after Duke Yu left the palace, he immediately went to visit Prime Minister Qi.

When Prime Minister Qi heard that the emperor had consecrated Yuan Chen as King Chen, he was quite surprised. Yuan Qing was still recovering from his injuries, so why would he suddenly issue an order to confer Yuan Chen as king?

So he immediately went to the Second Prince's Mansion with Duke Yu. He wanted to ask the Second Prince Feng Chongjun personally what happened.

However, when he reached the door of the mansion, he was stopped by a guard: "Prime Minister Qi, everyone in the Second Prince's Mansion has been ordered to be grounded by His Majesty, and no one is allowed to enter or exit."

"No foot ban?" Prime Minister Qi was confused.

"Yes, Prime Minister Qi, please come back." The guard said coldly, not giving Prime Minister Qi any face.

"W-why is this?"

"I have no comment," the guard said expressionlessly.

"You, you..." Yu Guogong suddenly became angry.

But since this order came from the emperor, he had no choice but to leave even if he was unwilling to do so.

At this time, he heard a carriage parked at the door of the Second Prince's Mansion.

A woman came out of the carriage with her child. The woman was dressed simply and looked very ordinary.

"Mom, is this Daddy's home?" The child asked with curious eyes open as he looked at the guard standing in front of the house.

"Yes, Yuan Che." The woman knelt down and touched the child's head and said with a smile.

"Wow, this house is so big and grand." The child said in surprise.

"Yuan Che, be good, this is daddy's mansion, we will live here from now on." The woman said with a slight smile.

"Yeah." The child nodded vigorously and said.

The woman raised her head and looked at the words 'Second Prince's Mansion' on the plaque hanging above the door. A trace of pride flashed in her eyes, but she quickly concealed it.
