Chapter 174 A ray of light (pink ticket 860
Chen Muqing gently placed the teacup in front of Wang Shengyun.
Wang Shengyun did not look at the girl in front of him dressed in a white silk shirt, blue-green and more armor, as a maid. His face was full of sorrow: "... The Minister of Personnel proposed to make King Jin the emperor, but the emperor's life and death are unknown. If... there are no two kings in the country, then there will be endless troubles! But the king is light, the country is the most important... the country must not be without a master for a day."
Chen Zhen's expression was more bitter than Wang Shengyun: "...Is it a sign that tells the world that the emperor has passed away?"
Wang Shengyun did not make a sound, but his expression said everything.
Chen Zhen closed his eyes and had a watermark at the corners of his eyes.
"Now, this is all that..." Wang Shengyun said softly, "Otherwise, everything is difficult to make decisions."
"Has the cabinet agreed?" Chen Zhen stared at Wang Shengyun.
Wang Shengyun hesitated for a while and whispered: "Make King of Jin!"
Chen Zhen didn't say anything.
"He has a cowardly personality...what do you have to worry about? He even discusses me specifically?" Chen Zhen said lightly.
Wang Shengyun smiled bitterly: "I want to hear your opinions... You have always been resourceful, and the more you encounter difficulties, the calmer you calmer..."
As an opponent, this is the highest praise!
Chen Zhen's lips curled up slightly and sighed, "If it were me, I'm afraid that this would be the only way!"
After receiving the recognition of the opponent, Wang Shengyun calmed down and stood up and said, "Then I'll leave first. Tomorrow's morning court, Shi Jinhui, the Minister of War, proposed..."
Chen Zhen stood up and sent Wang Shengyun.
Wang Shengyun walked to the door and couldn't help but look back.
Chen Zhen did not avoid the maid who served tea in such a private matter.
Her white face and bright eyes were like a bright girl. Kyoto was in chaos. Although some officials who stayed in the capital stayed, most of them sent their families back to their hometowns. In their memory, Chen Zhen's son seemed to have also been sent to Jiangnan... Although the yard of the Shen family was cleaned, it was deserted and lacked anger. You can tell at a glance that there were not many servants in the family... Could this be the daughter of Chen Zhen who came home with the Liang family?
Thinking of this, Wang Shengyun couldn't help but look at it again.
Chen Muqing was also looking at Wang Shengyun.
Unexpectedly, Wang Shengyun, who had fought with Shen Zhen for a lifetime, turned out to be a man with a back and waist... The two of them are so different...
The two of them looked right.
Chen Muqing smiled slightly at Wang Shengyun.
A smile also appeared in Wang Shengyun's eyes.
If you dare to look back at him like this, it should be Chen Zhen’s daughter... Such a beautiful little girl is actually separated from you...
Thinking of this, it was a bit of a pity on his face.
Chen Zhen, who was standing aside, also noticed Wang Shengyun's actions.
It's just a separation. Did you make any big mistakes? Why do you show a pity?
He felt aroused in his heart and simply said, "This is my daughter Chen Muqing."
Wang Shengyun was a little embarrassed.
He said hello without saying goodbye, but stared at the little girl rudely...
He nodded to Chen Muqing unnaturally.
Chen Muqing smiled and bowed to him.
*******
After seeing off Wang Shengyun, Chen Zhen returned to the study with a heavy expression.
Chen Muqing was cleaning the teacup and saw this and brewed him a cup of tea again.
Chen Zhen looked at Chen Muqing and sighed: "I hope Zeng Ju can arrive in time in the next two days. Otherwise... Kyoto will be in danger!"
Chen Muqing felt scared and helpless when he thought of the grain grabbing incident in the city these days. He couldn't help but sigh and told Chen Zhen what he saw when he went out to the street: "...No one came out to manage the affairs. If this continues, I'm afraid that the Yuanmeng people have not yet attacked the city and we will be in chaos first!"
Chen Zhen expressed his sad expression: "Wang Shengyun is also taking millet from the fire, there is nothing he can do!"
*******
The ministers discussed whether to support King Jin for four days and remained stalemate. On the fifth day, the Yuan Meng people once broke through Chaoyang Gate, and only recaptured Chaoyang Gate after Dai Gui led his troops to fight to the death. The news came, and the ministers who opposed the King of Jin finally gave in and agreed to support King Jin as emperor.
When King Jin was pushed to the dragon throne in the Hall of Supreme Harmony by Wang Shengyun, he shouted: "...I don't want to be the king of the devastated country!"
Wang Shengyun turned a blind eye to the expression of King Jin and stood on the Danban toward Yuan Yu, the Minister of Rites.
Yuan Yu began to read out the rituals of the throne ceremony.
The ministers followed Yuan Yu's instructions and bowed.
The King of Jin wanted to get up from the dragon throne several times, but was pressed by Shi Jin, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, who was standing beside him.
After the throne ceremony, Wang Shengyun immediately submitted a memorial, promoting Dai Shenghui to the Minister of War, who was fully responsible for planning the defense of the capital. He personally supervised the war at Zhengyang Gate.
The new emperor looked at the ministers under the dragon throne, and saw that everyone was looking at him with bright eyes, he nodded.

Mr. Min sat on the big kang next to the window in Shen Zhen’s study. After drinking his last sip of noodle soup, he comfortably put down the Hongtide Big Sea Bowl: "I didn’t expect Mu Qing’s craftsmanship is so good... just a bowl of spring noodles, which makes people feel fragrant."
Yingfan cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks on the kang table, and Chen Muqing smiled and served tea: "Sir, are you hungry? That's why I think it's delicious!"
Mr. Min took the tea and said with a smile: "I haven't eaten for a day and a night..."
After listening to Mr. Min’s process of the new Emperor’s arrival, Chen Zhen, who had been silent, asked, “What is the current situation of the battle?”
Mr. Min smiled and said, "Old Wang Ge asked everyone to choose nine people to take charge of the Nine Gate respectively, and set up a life-and-death situation. If the city is broken, people will die. Then, the people from the Ministry of Rites will preach to everyone the heroic things in the war in various alleys in Kyoto, and inspire fighting spirit. Deshengmen was in a hurry this morning, and young and middle-aged people living near Jintaifang, Lingchunfang and Rizhongfang automatically formed an aid team to Deshengmen for assistance... Although the situation is still not optimistic, everyone's momentum is ten times stronger than before."
Chen Zhen nodded: "It's good..."
Mr. Min sighed, "What's so good! Everyone is fighting against the enemy on the front line, but the emperor shouted to move south to avoid the enemy... Alas! I don't know what Mr. Wang is thinking... It's better to establish the King of Qin. At least the King of Qin is the main war."
Chen Zhen picked up the teacup and took a sip, whispering: "The King of Qin is naturally not as easy to master as the King of Jin."
Mr. Min listened, his mouth twitched and he was speechless.
Seeing the atmosphere a little solemn, Chen Muqing smiled and was about to speak, Yingfen, who was putting the dishes and chopsticks, quickly turned back: "Master, Mr. Min's Changgui wants to see Mr. Min!" Her voice was very anxious.
Chen Zhen listened and said, "I came to find me here, it must be an urgent matter... Just go back first!"
"Let Changgui come in!" Mr. Min ordered Yingfen, and then smiled and said to Chen Zhen: "I am now guarding Andingmen with the Minister of War, Lord Shi, and Lord Shi is a tiger general. Yuan Meng has been defeated repeatedly. Seeing that Yuan Meng was a little discouraged these days, Lord Shi specially gave me a day off and asked me to go home to rest. I am afraid that you are worried about the safety of Kyoto, so I came to you first-Changgui may have followed the instructions of the Guilty to see me, but I can't find me, I found you here..."
As he was talking, Yingfen led Changgui in.
Changgui is a pretty fourteen-year-old boy who is in the voice change period.
He didn't care about saluting Mr. Min and Shen Zhen, and said anxiously with a hoarse voice: "Sir, something happened! Lord Shi told me to come here to find you. Let you go to the court meeting soon."
Changgui's words were confused and everyone didn't understand them very clearly, but the saying "What happened" was clearly heard and I couldn't help but be frightened.
Mr. Min hurriedly said, "Don't be anxious, just talk slowly, what happened?"
Changgui took a breath and then he slowly said.
It turned out that Changgui was ordered by Mrs. Min to go to Andingmen to see if Mr. Min was injured. As a result, Changgui encountered Shi Jin as soon as he walked to Andingmen. Shi Jin recognized him and immediately pulled him and said, "Go to Mr. Shen's house on Songshu Hutong in Shihuaqiao and find your master. Tell him that Yuan Meng Khan Mo Guo held the emperor in Zhengyang Gate and wanted to guard the Zhengyang Gate to open the city gate. Master Wang Ge and Lord Dai had to avoid it... All civil officials who supervised the battle returned to the Taihe Palace to discuss matters!"
The people in the room looked at each other in hearing this.
Chen Zhen and Mr. Min asked in unison: "You have asked clearly, is the emperor true or false?"
Changgui shivered under the sharp eyes of the two of them, "I, I don't know... When I heard this, I ran over immediately..."
Chen Zhen looked at Mr. Min and said, "Go to the Palace of Supreme Harmony quickly... see what's going on... When there is news, tell me immediately."
Mr. Min nodded with a heavy expression and hurried away with Changgui.
Chen Muqing stood there looking at Chen Zhen with sadness and joy: "The emperor has found it, Xiao Sa... should be with him too?"
Who knows what happened?
Some pity flashed in Chen Zhen's eyes and said with a smile: "It should be together! We will know when Mr. Min comes over!"
Chen Muqing nodded.
*******
Mr. Min only appeared at the Shen family at noon the next day.
Since he left, Chen Muqing has been waiting in the wing room of Shen Zhen’s study and has not slept.
When she heard that Mr. Min was coming, she ran towards the study.
Mr. Min was talking to Shen Zhen: "... Everyone has been questioning the authenticity of the emperor, but those who were captured with the emperor were Liang Yuan's eldest son Liang Bogong and Gansu Tongzhi Xiao Sa and other low-level officers... Now everyone doesn't know what to do?"
Chen Muqing's legs became weak and he collapsed on the ground.
Chen Zhen and Mr. Min, who heard the movement, both looked here. Seeing this, Chen Zhen explained to Mr. Min: "Mu Qing has been frightened for a while..." While getting off the kang and helping her up.
Chen Muqing reluctantly smiled at Chen Zhen, and then went back to Tingyuxuan in vain, and leaned on the kang and started crying.
*******
