"Since you have pledged your loyalty to His Majesty, you must abide by your duties as a subject. His Majesty is magnanimous and has granted you official positions, made them hereditary, and even granted you land. This kind of preferential treatment is comparable to that of a prince or a noble. You have come to seek refuge, so you must be prepared to hand over your troops and obey His Majesty's orders!"

They don't dare to take action against a powerful force like Zhou Yanxing, so how could they not dare to take action against a small noble family like this?

Their Majesty is becoming emperor, not doing a losing business.

"You..." Seeing that the talks were about to break down, the noble family did not dare to confront him head-on. After all, they were now on Zhou Ruyuan's territory.

But it is absolutely impossible to ask him to hand over his military power.

He came here to get a piece of the pie, not to lose money. If he handed over the military power, it would be the same as losing both his wife and his soldiers.

"One third is one third. We all come to Your Majesty because you are the true dragon emperor with royal blood. The one sitting in the capital is just a traitor."

Although the conversation was unpleasant, fortunately the final result was within expectations.

Yuan Lang picked up a charcoal pencil and circled one-third of the area north of Jiangdong.

Then comes the corresponding enthronement and announcement.

……

When Shen Yuantang learned that her mother was going to marry her out of the capital, she went crazy.

"Where's my father? I want to see him."

The gatekeeper didn't even raise her eyebrows, and no matter how Shen Yuantang banged and kicked the door, she just refused to open it.

"Let me out! I want to see my mother!"

"Mother, I won't marry."

She is a princess, who would dare to marry her off in exchange for benefits?

Isn’t the Shen family afraid of being ridiculed by the people of the capital?

"Let me out! If you don't let me out, I will crash into the house and die. I'll see how you explain to His Majesty!"

There was a loud clang and a sound of smashing.

Shen Yuantang was making such a loud noise that the third room couldn't wait to pick up the child.

"Yuan Tang, good boy, don't worry, I have already persuaded your mother." Miao winked at the maid and asked her to hold the child.

It’s so noisy here, what if it scares her grandson?

"Aunt, mother is so cruel. She actually wants to marry me off far away."

"All the girls in our family have returned to the capital. No one is outside. She was willing to send me out."

"Aunt San, please help me send a letter to the palace and ask my elder sister to come and save me!"

Miao was also in a dilemma, as the person in the palace should also support the princess as a mother.

"Yuan Tang, I will go and persuade your mother later. When your mother comes over, you can talk to her properly."

"Please, your mother, say something soft to her!"

When Miao saw the old woman bringing the child, she immediately said, "Yuan Tang, take a rest first. I'll go find your mother right away!"

After she finished speaking, she turned and left, and the old woman hurriedly followed her, holding the child.

"Princess, it's bad, the Third Madam has had the child taken away!"

Shen Yuantang woke up as if from a dream. Yes, she still had a child.

Unfortunately, she came to her senses too late, and the child had already been taken away by the third wife.

"Mother, why do you treat me like this..."

Shen Yuantang suddenly remembered that she had sent people to investigate Huang Yu before. She sent three people to investigate, but no one came back.

There is something wrong with topaz, definitely something wrong.

"Big sister, I want to see big sister!"

"Your Majesty, I want to see Your Majesty!"

The black-faced woman looked straight ahead, as if she didn't hear the roar from the person inside.

Soon Shen Yuantang's wedding date was set, and Shen Lanxi was notified later.

"The Zhou family of Nanliang?" She said as she looked at the contents of the letter.

Soon someone put the records about the Zhou family of Southern Liang in front of her.

"The princes who were given away during the reign of Emperor Heshun are now... six generations old, right?"

If it weren't for the huge size of Guiguzi's information network, the Nanliang Zhou family would have long been out of the record.

A descendant of a royal family that had long fallen, his status was even lower than that of a straw sandal seller.

"Your Majesty, do you want to stop him?" Liu Yanhui asked with concern.

After all, they are brothers from the same mother, and Your Majesty must feel sorry for them.

Shen Lanxi put the letter from home aside and sat in silence for two breaths.

"No, that's the path they want to take."

Let them go to the end so that she can see what the result will be without her interference.

Liu Yanhui sighed silently. Although His Majesty has been lonely since ancient times, he doesn't want to really see His Majesty alone.

Compared to the present, he missed the days of exile even more.

Zhou Xinrou waited for two days and when she saw that there was no news from the palace, she realized that her daughter was very sensible.

Except for Shen Yuantang, the girls have also already found their favorites.

One by one, they were either married off as concubines or consorts of military generals.

Except for Shen Yuantang, all the girls in the Shen family married military generals, and their official positions were not low.

……

Huang Yu quickly sent back a message and asked the court for troops.

This news was suppressed by the Ministry of War before it even reached Shen Lanxi.

Are you kidding? Where does the imperial court have troops?

If there were, they would have sent troops to attack Tianjin long ago.

Huang Yu waited for six days in vain and had no choice but to ask Zhou Xinrou for help.

"Princess, the young master is trapped in Tangshan. This is the letter she sent for help!"

Zhou Xinrou became very anxious after reading it.

"Why don't you ask the court to send troops to rescue?"

Mother-in-law: "I don't know. The letter asking for help didn't say that."

Zhou Xinrou started to get angry again: "I really don't know who she is like in terms of swallowing her anger."

"Princess, don't worry about that for now, just think of a way to save him!"

Zhou Xinrou guessed that the carrier pigeon asking for help must have encountered an accident on the way and the court did not receive it.

"Send a letter to the palace..."

Zhou Xinrou was halfway through her words when she became worried that Shen Lanxi would not take this matter to heart.

"It's urgent, I'd better go to the palace to find her myself!"

When Shen Lanxi learned that Zhou Xinrou was coming, she was reading the letter sent from Xibei.

The power change in the northwestern Turkic imperial court ended, the new emperor ascended the throne, and proposed a marriage proposal to the Great Zhou.

This is a secret letter from the northwest, which is a few days faster than the normal delivery of letters from the imperial court.

Within a month, the Turkic marriage delegation will arrive in the capital.

Marriage?

I’m afraid that they are trying to provoke the Great Zhou under the guise of marriage!

……

"Your Majesty, the princess is outside the palace gates asking for an audience."

Shen Lanxi: "I am discussing important matters with the court officials, please do not disturb me."

The eunuch glanced at the empty Qinzheng Hall and walked out with his back bent.

~

Zhou Xinrou has not been to the palace since Shen Lanxi ascended the throne.

I thought I could go directly into the palace to see Shen Lanxi, but I didn't expect that let alone see her, she didn't even get into the palace.

"How dare you! Do you know who I am? How dare you stop me?"

The Imperial Guards said sternly: "Without your Majesty's order, no one is allowed to enter or leave the Imperial City. Anyone who disobeys your order will be killed without mercy!"

His Majesty also said that even if it was a member of the Shen family, such as her mother, if she wanted to break into the palace, she would be treated as an assassin.

What to do if you encounter an assassin? Of course, kill him without mercy!
