Black Fairy, the master is a female ghost

On the second day, Lu Xunhuan entered the palace with Ming Dexi, and received the imperial edicts one after another. Then, he went from house to house to read the imperial edicts.

The eight states of Southern Liang, plus Yingzhou City, had a total of sixty-eight counties under their jurisdiction.

As for the princes, three were killed, and besides the crown prince, there were still thirty people in total.

His Majesty the King issued decrees to each of these thirty people, appointing them as vassal kings in various counties.

They were asked to bring their mothers and go to their territory immediately.

This can be regarded as an explanation from His Majesty the King to his concubines before his death.

Many concubines expressed their gratitude after receiving the imperial edict.

Because once His Majesty the King passes away, it will be meaningless for them to stay in the palace, and they may even be massacred at any time.

It would be better to follow his son who was granted the title of prince to various counties and live a free and peaceful life.

Three days later, the division was completed.

At the four major gates of Yingzhou City, princes, accompanied by their mothers and large families, rode in carriages and rushed to various places all day long.

And His Majesty the King is on his deathbed.

There were people kneeling on the ground in front of the dragon bed.

His Majesty the King said to the Crown Prince, "After I leave, you must treat the Prime Minister as your father-in-law. With his help, continue to implement reforms and make Southern Liang strong."

The prince kowtowed and said, "I will follow your father's instructions."

His Majesty the King then said to the Eighth Prince, "Eighth brother, after I leave, you must assist the Crown Prince and make him a diligent king. Don't act recklessly..."

"I give you a golden whip. If he doesn't obey, you can whip him in court..."

The Eighth Prince kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will do my best."

His Majesty the King then said to Lu Xunhuan, "Prime Minister, the future of Southern Liang depends on you."

"Change will inevitably affect the interests of certain people, and the number of people who want to target you will inevitably increase..."

"I'm afraid the prince will be confused and believe the words of the treacherous people..."

"I grant you a golden medal of immunity from death. You can avoid death at any time..."

Lu Xunhuan kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

A few hours later, the king died.

The wise ruler of the Southern Liang Dynasty came to an end.

Lu Xunhuan found an excuse, left the palace, and rushed back to his mansion.

The Prime Minister's Mansion is now empty.

He looked around, and finally took the eighth-level immortal sword and said to Yun Zhongzi, "Great Elder, it's time to go. Let's go."

After an incense stick of time, Lu Xunhuan arrived at the South City Gate in a carriage.

He said to the soldiers guarding the gate, "I am going out of the city to do something. If the Eighth Prince comes, tell him that he trusts me and that he should not come."

After giving orders to the soldiers, the carriage left the city and went farther and farther away.

About an incense stick of time passed before the Eighth Prince finally arrived.

He asked the gatekeeper, "Have you seen the Prime Minister?"

The soldier replied, "The Prime Minister has gone out of the city on some business. He said he was on duty, so don't worry. He told the prince not to go."

The Eighth Prince asked again, "How long have you been walking?"

The soldier replied, "About an incense stick's time."

The Eighth Prince asked, "Is anyone going the same way?"

The soldier replied, "It seems he is traveling with Great Elder Yun Zhongzi."

The Eighth Prince said to the two palace masters beside him, "He must be going to Yuntai Mountain. Let's chase him. We have to let him come back and continue to carry the responsibility of the Prime Minister."

However, after the Eighth Prince and two palace masters chased for twenty miles, they found Lu Xunhuan's carriage on the side of the road, but did not see the figures of Lu Xunhuan and Yun Zhongzi.

There was a letter on the carriage.

The Eighth Prince took the letter and unfolded it.

There were only a few short sentences in the letter.

"Your Highness, Lu Suifeng has decided to retire. You don't need to chase him anymore. After I leave, you can invite Prime Minister Lu back. I will definitely do what I promised you, don't worry."

There are only a few sentences in the letter.

The Eighth Prince read the letter and shook his head, knowing that it was unlikely that he would be able to catch up with Lu Xunhuan.

He had abandoned the carriage and must have turned into the mountain road.

With Yun Zhongzi leading the way, they are leaving very quickly. How can we catch up with them?

He had no choice but to call the two palace masters back to the city.

On a mountain in the north of the city, Lu Xunhuan looked down from above and took a last look at Yingzhou City.

"Great Elder, you have worked so hard for so long. I don't know how to express my gratitude to you."

He pulled out a stack of gold notes from his pocket and handed them to Yun Zhongzi: "This is my tribute to Yuntai Mountain."

Yun Zhongzi took the gold note and asked, "Where are you going?"

Lu Xun Huan said, "The place where our mentor lives in seclusion cannot be disclosed. Please forgive me."

Yun Zhongzi stroked his beard and said, "Alright, be careful on your journey. It's time for me to return to my sect."

The two parted ways here and went to their respective destinations.

After Lu Xunhuan hid in the mountains and forests, he waited until dark, took out the golden hoop, controlled it, and headed north at lightning speed.

At this time in the palace, the crown prince had not yet been crowned, but he could not wait to summon all the ministers and attend court that night.

After all the civil and military officials arrived, he saw that Lu Xunhuan was not there, and he couldn't help but become angry again.

He didn't know that Lu Xunhuan had already left Yingzhou City, and he thought that Lu Xunhuan deliberately didn't come to court to give him face.

"Ming Dexi, the imperial edict."

Ming Dexi stepped forward quickly: "Prince..."

The prince glared at him and said, "What? You don't want to be the chief steward anymore, right?"

Ming Dexi kowtowed hurriedly: "Long live His Majesty, long live His Majesty, long live His Majesty."

A smile finally appeared on the prince's face: "You are sensible. Get up."

All the civil and military officials were worried. He hadn't even been crowned yet, but he was already being called "Long Live the Emperor". It was so casual. I'm afraid everyone would suffer in the future.

The Crown Prince said, "Lu Suifeng has the audacity to disobey the summons and refuse to attend court. This is clearly a display of disrespect for me. I have decided to remove Lu Suifeng from his position as Prime Minister and expel him from the country. I order him to leave immediately."

Ming Dexi wrote the imperial edict, brought it forward, and stamped the prince with the imperial seal.

The prince said, "Go to his house immediately and tell him to pack up and leave."

Ming Dexi took the imperial edict and withdrew: "As you wish."

After Ming Dexi left, the prince called out again, "Guan Guan."

Among the officials, Guan Hua stood up and said, "Your Majesty."

The prince stroked his fat chin and said, "You are a meritorious minister and deserve a reward. I appoint you as the Minister of State to succeed your predecessor."

Guan Hua knelt down and said, "Thank you, Lord, for your grace."

The Crown Prince didn't know that Guan Hua and Minister Yu were originally on the same side.

The last time Guan Hua deliberately reported Prince Nuo, it was actually according to the arrangement of Minister Yu, who wanted to defeat a competitor for Prince Jie first.

After Prince Jie's defeat, Minister Yu was implicated and killed, but Lu Xunhuan did not point this out to His Majesty.

So neither Your Majesty nor the Crown Prince knew about it.

Lu Xunhuan deliberately wanted to keep Guan Hua so that he could take care of the treasure merchants.

After all, Guan Hua had once been the governor of Baocheng Prefecture.

At the same time, he is also from Baocheng Prefecture. It is reasonable for him to take care of those he can.

After Yu Shangshu was arrested, Guan Huai almost ran away.

It was Lu Xunhuan who secretly visited him and made some secret plans with him, so that he stayed.

At this time, he was appointed as Shangshu, an official of the first rank.

He didn't dare to say it, but in his heart, he was very grateful to Lu Xunhuan.

I guess we're all helping each other.

He had promoted Lu Xunhuan in the past, and now Lu Xunhuan was repaying his kindness by helping him conceal the truth, which gave him the opportunity to become the Shangshu.

After the Crown Prince appointed Guan Hua to replace Minister Yu, he also adjusted the official positions of a group of civil and military ministers.

In short, he will promote those who he thinks are close to him.

If he doesn't like someone, he will dismiss him.

Half an hour later, Ming Dexi returned.

"His Majesty."

The Crown Prince asked, "Has the imperial edict been read to Lu Xunhuan?"

Ming Dexi replied, "Your Majesty, when I arrived, the Prime Minister's residence was empty."

The prince stroked his fat chin and said, "He ran away. He has self-awareness."

He looked at the ministers and said, "By the way, the position of Prime Minister has not been arranged yet..."

At this time, the Eighth Prince returned. He stepped forward and saluted, "Lu Suifeng has already left Yingzhou City."

The prince nodded: "I understand."

He didn't care where Lu Xunhuan went at all, and didn't even want to ask. He changed the subject directly: "Uncle Wang, who do you think is suitable for the position of Prime Minister?"

The Eighth Prince said, "Let the old Prime Minister come back."

The prince immediately agreed: "Okay, let Prime Minister Lu come back and continue to be the prime minister."
