In the capital, Fengtian Palace was in the morning.

Lu Zhong, the commander of the Jinyiwei, gave a ban and reported: "Emperor, Hou Feng, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War, was poisoned to death by the Miao people in Chenxidong."

As soon as these words came out, the whole palace was in an uproar.

"Is the news true?" Zhu Qiyu's face did not show too much surprise.

"This is the news from Feige who was accompanying Jinyiwei Qianhumenda, who just heard the news, it is indeed correct!"

"The Miao people are so rampant," Zhu Qiyu said with a frown: "I kindly give them a chance to surrender. They actually poisoned the imperial officials I sent. Do they still take me seriously?"

"The emperor, what is unbearable," said Chen Xun, the chief minister of the cabinet, and said passionately: "The Miao people are rampant. If they do not punish them severely, what is my great power in the future?"

As soon as Chen Shuoxue made a speech, many court officials agreed.

"The Miao people ignored the court and asked the emperor to issue an order to send troops to conquer!"

"Yes, the Miao people are not convinced by the king's transformation, and the court should not accommodate them."

......

The crowd was in a state of great turmoil, and there was a tendency to not give up until the Miao people were wiped out.

After the voice calmed down, Yu Qian stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince is still in the hands of the Miao people."

Zhu Qiyu frowned, and before he could speak, he heard Chen Xun say, "Mr. Yu, what do you want to say? Just because the prince is in the hands of the Miao people, he has to let him continue to threaten him and do nothing?"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is my crown prince," Yu Qian said with a serious expression: "If you want to start a war with the Miao people, you must take into account the safety of Your Highness the Crown Prince. This requires a solution of both worlds."

"So, Lord Yu already has an idea?"

"No."

"Master Yu," Chen Xun narrowed his eyes, "You must know that Hou Feng is a member of your Ministry of War. Are you indifferent to his death?"

"Old Chen Ge," Yu Qian said seriously: "There is something strange about Hou Feng's death. Did the Miao people admit that Hou Feng poisoned him?"

"Is it important to admit it or not?" Chen Xun said: "Hou Feng died in Miaodi, this is a fact, and the Miao people cannot tolerate denying it."

"The Miao people don't want to seek peace, so they can expel Hou Feng and others," Yu Qian analyzed: "How could they do such a stupid thing with poison to anger the court?"

"If Master Yu wants to know the reason, you can ask the Miao people," Chen Xun sneered, "Do you want to excuse the Miao people?"

"I just want to know the truth," Yu Qian turned to Zhu Qiyu on the dragon throne, "Prince, please allow me to go to Huguang."

Zhu Qiyu frowned even deeper and said nothing about Qian's request.

"Emperor, Master Chen Ge, Lord Yu," said one person from the train of ministers, with three long beards under his chin, and his demeanor was handsome. It was Shang Lu. He only heard him say: "Whether to fight with the Miao people, the key is the safety of His Royal Highness the Prince. However, the Miao people are arrogant and unruly, and it is difficult to persuade them to submit to the court in words. It is imperative to use military force."

Zhu Qiyu looked at him, "Shang Lu, do you have a solution to both sides?"

"Return to the emperor," Shang Lu said: "The Miao people rely on, in addition to the high mountains and dense forests, the Crown Prince is also in his hands." At this point, he paused, "If the Crown Prince's identity is no longer, will the Miao people still rely on it?"

"Oh?" Zhu Qiyu raised her eyebrows slightly, "You said more details."

"I dare to ask the emperor to issue an imperial edict to abolish His Highness the Crown Prince." Shang Lu lowered his head and said.

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers in the palace were in an uproar. Although everyone knew it

Zhu Qiyu was determined to depose the prince, but it was shocking that someone said it in public.

Zhu Qiyu was moved, "Shang Lu, why did you say this?"

"Emperor," Shang Lu said earnestly, "I am thinking about the safety of His Highness the Crown Prince. As long as he is still named the Crown Prince, the Miao people will always use him to threaten the court. If he does not have the identity of the Crown Prince, he will be just an ordinary prince. Will the Miao people use him as a threat to the court?"

"My dear words are very reasonable." A brilliant flashed in Zhu Qiyu's eyes.

"The prince has no fault, how can he abolish him?" Yu Qian said loudly.

"Mr. Yu, this is just a plan of rights and interests," Shang Lu said: "The status of the prince will not benefit His Highness at all. In addition to the safety of his life, it will also allow the court to deal with the Miao people and tie their hands and feet."

"Yes," Zhu Qiyu also said: "The Supreme Emperor has only one bloodline. How can I bear to cut him off? The deposed title of prince is just for the time being. After he escapes danger, I will re-appoint him as the crown prince."

"The emperor's words are very true," Gao Ju also stood up and said, "The Supreme Emperor is now completely unaware of his life and death, and his descendants can no longer be lost."

"Yes, there is no way to do this."

"In this way, the Miao people can no longer threaten the court, and they may release His Highness."

......

There was a lot of discussion in the hall, and most of them agreed with Shang Lu's idea.

Zhu Qiyu suddenly felt confident and stood up and whispered: "I can't bear to see the son of the Supreme Emperor be hurt..." Cleared his throat, "The cabinet and the Lijian Commissioner formulated an edict to depose the prince to the King of Yi, and immediately sent someone to the Miaodi to announce the edict." His eyes glanced around, "I wonder which dear minister would work hard to go to the Miaodi to announce the edict?"

The ministers immediately pressed their heads down, fearing that the emperor's eyes would fall on them.

"Emperor," Chen Xun said: "Since Shang Lu came up with this plan of both worlds, it would be more appropriate for him to go to the Miaodi land to announce the imperial edict."

"Yes." Zhu Qiyu looked at Shang Lu, "Shang Aiqing, would you like to go to Huguang?"

"The emperor appointed his subordinates and I have no choice but to ask for his responsibility!" Shang Lu responded readily.

"Okay!" Zhu Qiyu was a little excited, "Shang Lu has made contributions to his advice. I have appointed you as the Left Minister of the Ministry of War, and you can go to Huguang with the edict."

Shang Lu knelt down and kowtowed, "I obey the order!"

......

After finishing the court, Zhu Qiyu was in a very happy mood, and the knot that had been lingering in his heart for many days finally untied.

"This Shang Lu is really a talent," he praised, "to solve my problems for several months so lightly."

"And some ministers are not easy to object," Cheng Jing said with a smile: "Shang Lu is the man who is dedicated to the emperor, otherwise how could the court say such a plan to both sides?"

"If he returns from Huguang, let him enter the cabinet and serve as an assistant to Chen Xun!"

"Yes, when the old slave returns, he passes the emperor's meaning to Mr. Chen," Cheng Jing smiled, "Congratulations to the emperor for finally achieving his wish."

"This is not enough," Zhu Qiyu shook his head and said, "It's still one step away..."

Cheng Jing's eyes turned, "Master, is this step still far?"

"No," Zhu Qiyu smiled, "The position of the prince is empty, sooner or later, my son will help you."

"The emperor should not be too hasty," Cheng Jing reminded him: "So that people will not secretly say that this is the emperor's selfishness."

"I understand," Zhu Qiyu's lips curled slightly.

"Since the position has been given up, I am not in a hurry. You can discuss it with Mr. Chen and find another opportunity to propose it in a few days."

"Yes, the emperor."

————————————

"Sister, it's been several days since no one has been chasing me." Zhu Xiyuan galloped back while galloping back. On the snow-covered grassland, there was no trace of the two long hoof prints left by her and Wenyu's mounts.

"Don't be careless," Wenyu's pretty face was still tight, "The mark left by our horses is very easy to track."

"Sister is too careful," Zhu Xiyuan said disrespectfully: "The snow has been falling, and the horseshoe marks behind it have long been covered up." Seeing Wenyu's face solemn, she couldn't help asking, "Sister, what's wrong?"

Minyu stared into the distance, "We have to find someone to ask about the way, otherwise we don't know where to go?"

"This is snowy and snowy, where can I find someone to ask for directions?" Zhu Xiyuan frowned slightly, and suddenly her eyes lit up, "Sister, look, there seems to be someone over there."

"Where?" Wenyu squinted her eyes and looked at it. Sure enough, a figure appeared in the snow curtain all over the sky.

The two women rode their horses and saw an ice hole carved out on a frozen river. One of them sat next to the ice hole wearing a straw raincoat, holding a fishing rod in hand.

"Strange, why are there fishing here in such a cold day?" Zhu Xiyuan stepped forward and said, "Hey—"

The man raised his head and showed his face.

Zhu Xiyuan and Minyu's delicate bodies were both shocked, "Yuan Xingyu?"

It turned out that the fisherman was actually Yuan Xingyu.

He flicked the fishing rod and smiled and said, "You Chinese people have a saying that Jiang Taigong fishes, and those who wish to take the bait. Didn't I fall into two mermaids?"

"You...why are you here?" Zhu Xiyuan's pretty face changed color.

"Fishing!" Yuan Xingyu raised his eyebrows slightly, "As long as he is patient enough, he will not worry about not gaining anything."

"Your Highness," said Minyu: "Does you mean to intercept us here?"

"Yes or no, are there any differences?" Yuan Xingyu's eyes turned, "I wonder where you two are going?"

"Where are we going? What does it have to do with you?" Zhu Xiyuan said boldly.

Yuan Xingyu's lips curled up and he didn't say anything.

"Your Highness," said Minyu: "We left without saying goodbye, to find someone, and I would like to ask Your Highness to report to the Grand Master."

"Is the person you are looking for Yang Muyun?" Yuan Xingyu sighed: "He is so lucky. In addition to my sister Qiqi, there are so many beautiful women who like him." His voice paused slightly, "Well, I'll take you to see him!"

Zhu Xiyuan widened her eyes, and Minyu couldn't believe her ears.

"Would you be so kind?" Zhu Xiyuan curled her lips and expressed her disbelief.

"Your Highness knows where he is?" Wenyu asked.

"I don't know," Yuan Xingyu chuckled, "but she will definitely be with Qiqige. Now they should have set foot on the way back to the grassland. I will lead you to meet Qiqige and see him."

Zhu Xiyuan looked at Minyu, "Sister, what should I do?"

Wenyu sighed, "Do we have any choice? Even if he takes us back to see the Grand Master, we can only accept it."
