After the death of Princess Hengyang, the Chai family lost its backbone, but as a group, the "Chai family" did not dissipate and often gathered together to discuss one thing: Who can be the emperor? How should the Chai family stabilize its position?

Everyone came to several conclusions unanimously:

Champion Hou has the best relationship with the Chai family, but he is afraid that his future will be bad. He can continue to observe and provide some small help. At the same time, he has to prepare for a way out and not support him alone.

Juanhou, Donghai King and the Chai family have both hatreds. If Princess Hengyang is still alive, things will be difficult to deal with. Now that she has ascended to heaven, she can find a way to resolve the grudge. However, it is controversial to which of these two people deserves support.

The King of England did not consider it.

The Chai family has many relatives and friends, and its tentacles are all over the nobles and ministers in the court. They are well-informed and mixed. Countless rumors are thrown into the Chai family's pot like ingredients and spices. After cooking, a new rumor with a strong fragrance is formed.

The latest rumor is that Juehou has sneaked back to the capital and will continue to compete for the throne.

The Chai family was surprised and puzzled by this and could not guess what impact this would have on the situation in the capital.

I heard that the champion Hou and Donghai King were preparing to "do big things", the Chai family still sent people to help each other. Several noble followers around the champion Hou and several criminals inside and outside the Donghai King's mansion were all from the Chai family and informed them at any time.

The news of the poisoning of the champion Hou was first heard. The dozens of people gathered at the Chai family and drowning their sorrows by drinking alcohol were shocked. They never thought that the champion Hou was defeated so fiercely and easily. No one was willing to admit that they had high hopes for the prince's orphans. As for whom it poisoned, it was not important, and no one cared about it.

Xiao Bi is the nephew of the Zuo Cha Censor Xiao Sheng. He once took a group of people in Shattered Iron City to try to force Chai Yue to commit suicide. He was imprisoned for a while before he was put back to the capital. At this time, he grabbed the wine glass, took a big sip, stood up staggeringly, and looked at the entire hall.

Five tables were placed in the hall, and seventy or eighty people sat together with each other. After drinking for nearly a day, they were over, and they were all worried and confused.

Looking around, Xiao Bi couldn't see the leader. Hengyang Hou had never been the leader of this group of people. Among his sons, only Chai Zhi had some skills, but he had died in Shattered Iron City. The other descendants were not worth mentioning. There were many relatives who were not Chai's surname, but they had no opinion. Xiao Bi didn't even look down on his brother. Driven by alcohol, he decided to stand up.

"Hey!" Xiao Bi shouted, attracting everyone's attention, "You all heard from me that the Chanjun Hou died, why did he die? Because he did not value the Chai family, nor did he call us, so he went to seize the throne himself, and ended up dead."

"Yes, that's right." Everyone raised their glasses and cheered, but no one could drink it, and the wine spilled all over the floor.

"There are also King Donghai and Juehou." Xiao Bi was inspired and suddenly raised his voice, "I will ask you one thing, who is more likely to forgive the Chai family? Junhai, or King Donghai?"

"The King of Donghai killed Chai Zhi, but we didn't seek revenge on him." Someone said.

Before Xiao Bi could speak, another person at the same table retorted: "The King of Donghai may not think so. After he returned to Beijing, the Chai family had never visited him. He must have thought that he had been hated by the Chai family."

Xiao Bi suppressed this person with a higher voice, "How did King Donghai take revenge? I have seen that Zhang Yanghao and the others are still locked in the Broken Iron City."

In the imperial camp, King Donghai and Cui Teng bullied Zhang Yanghao and others a lot, and many noble children saw it. It was Juehou's decision to detain Zhang Yanghao, and it was also considered by King Donghai at this time.

"Then the only one left is Juehou, but the Chai family has repeatedly asked him to avenge him. Can he forgive me?" said another person.

"There is Chai Yue." Xiao Bi almost shouted this name, and he didn't feel that there was a grudge between him and Chai Yue at all. "After all, he is the son of Hengyang Hou and a confidant of Juan Hou. What kind of grudge cannot be dissolved?"

"Yes, yes." The Chai family was excited. They used to ignore the Chai family's concubine son, and they were all like Xiao Bi. They didn't feel that they had treated him badly, but instead felt that Chai Yue should have stood by the Chai family.

"Support Juanhou. How to support him? Where are the people of Juanhou?"

Xiao Bi didn't know that his decisiveness had ended here, and he was drunk a little. He was drowsy in his mind. He sat down and stared blankly at the leftovers on the table.

The hall was quiet.

A butler from Chai Mansion ran in and said a few words in the master's ear. Hou Hengyang's face changed and he stood up to speak, his voice trembling slightly, "The news I just received, the emperor may have passed away."

The awake half stood up all over, the tables and chairs were overturned, and the sound woke up the other half of the sleeping person.

"What's going on?"

"Diet."

"Who died?"

"Who else?"

"Who succeeded to the throne?"

"It must not be the King of East Sea. He is still holding his troops in the royal palace."

"That's the silence?"

"It's him, it's only him."

The Chai family could no longer distinguish between imagination and facts. Soon, everyone thought that Juehou was or was about to be emperor. I don’t know who shouted, “Go and support Juehou!”

People in the hall flocked out, afraid that they would be one step slower than others.

Not long after, the hall was empty, leaving only Hengyang Hou and the butler. They were stunned and at a loss. The butler murmured: "It's just possible to die, and"

The Hengyang Hou said blankly: "Oh my God, the Chai family is going to be exterminated."

Seventy or eighty Chai family members called their respective servants, and more than 200 people rushed out of Chai Mansion and headed straight for the imperial city.

Rumors always run faster. Many relatives and friends of the Chai family, as well as more unrelated people, came in from all directions. Some ministers gave up their wait-and-see attitude and did not show up, but also sent their nephews to help.

When they were almost at the south gate of the imperial city, the Chai family's team had increased to four or five hundred people, shouting all the way, no one knew what to do, and they thought that the big thing had been decided, so they just needed to support them.

A group of scholars stopped these people.

The scholars in the capital had gathered outside the south gate for several days and petitioned the court to immediately send troops to fight against the Huns. During this period, some of them were captured by the Suwei camp. As a result, more people were summoned. Shangguan Sheng had to be busy with other things, so he simply ignored them.

After kneeling on the bluestone slab for a few days, the scholars were already exhausted, and rumors spread among them. Sometimes they said that Jue Hou was about to be emperor, and the first thing he did after ascending the throne was to accept their petition, and sometimes they said that the Queen Mother was furious and that the blood of the guards would soon be splattered with blood from the south gate.

Rumors of the Chai family arrived first and merged with the rumors of scholars, making Juenhou’s claim to be emperor more conclusive.

But scholars are scholars after all, and even when their minds are at their most confused, they still have etiquette in their hearts.

"Mr. Juan Hou once left the capital, which means he gave up fighting for the throne." A scholar said loudly.

The crowd on the street suddenly became quiet, not understanding why I had ignored such obvious facts before.

The scholar immediately added: "But Juehou does not need to compete for the throne at all. He is the eldest son of Emperor Huan. He was originally the emperor. He was forced to abdicate by treacherous ministers. The successor emperor was the orphan of Prince Yong. Prince Yong was deposed by Emperor Wu. Emperor Wu's order cannot be changed. Prince Yong's orphans were not in line with the throne, and he was a false title. The emperor is still Juehou. He returned to the capital to rectify the chaos, not to fight for the throne!"

Everyone suddenly realized that when Juehou was deposed, no one said anything, but now they were all indignant, "Yes, Juehou was the emperor. Why did you want Juehou to abdicate? Where is the law of heaven?"

The gatherings outside the south gate of the palace soon exceeded a thousand people, and the gates of major departments nearby were closed, and no one dared to come out to meddle in other people's business.

On the walls of the palace, the guards were on high alert, but they did not come down to disperse the crowd.

The third group of people arrived later.

Xiao Sheng and Shen Mingzhi had no way out. With the military talisman, they didn't know which side to go to. Yang Feng pointed out a clear way for them. "Only Juehou is the general trend, and only Juehou can understand the difficulties of the two adults."

"Really?" Xiao Sheng and Shen Mingzhi had a conflict with Juanhou, and were very nervous.

"Even the Chai family can forgive me."

Han Ruzi sent a funeral to Princess Hengyang and met with the Chae Hou in Chai Mansion. These things are regarded as symbols of Juan Hou's reconciliation with the Chai family.

Xiao Sheng only had one question left, "Has Juenhou really sneaked back to the city?"

Yang Feng smiled slightly, "Who do you think I'm running around late at night?"

Xiao Sheng and Shen Mingzhi are both traitors. If they were to be ordinary, they would never easily believe Yang Feng's words. Now, they are willing to accept any persuasion from anyone, as long as that is the same path.

Yang Feng also took them outside the south gate of the palace.

Seeing so many people shouting for Juehou, Xiao Sheng and Shen Mingsheng no longer hesitated. They ran to the front, held up the military talisman, and ordered the guards to open the door.

Of course, the Guards would not obey the orders because of the military talisman, but they were somewhat affected and became even more hesitant on the city wall.

Yang Feng dismounted his horse and walked around the crowd, nodding to his acquaintances from time to time. There were scholars and Chai family. Then he squeezed out of the crowd and got on the horse again, and waited for the people to leave the south gate and circled around the east gate.

No one noticed that Yang Feng took King Ying away.

Seeing the crowd, King Ying was excited for a while, but he was too sleepy and fell asleep in his desperate arms.

The east gate was deserted and no one gathered. A team of guards guards were guarding outside the gate, and future people were stopped from afar.

Yang Feng dismounted his horse and greeted an eunuch, whispered and said a few words to the man. The eunuch looked at the King of England with the help of a torch, nodded, and ordered the soldiers to move aside. Yang Feng only took the orders to walk into the palace with the King of England, and the others stayed outside.

It was nearly four times. In the palace, King Donghai still had no news about Tan. He only heard one bad news after another. It seemed that more and more people were turning to support Juanhou, and no one knew where Juanhou was now.

"Don't retreat, don't retreat. This time I will never retreat again." Donghai King once again fantasized about the scene after he ascended the throne. Finally, he mustered up the courage and said to the Tan brothers and the prisoners: "Don't wait, go to the north gate of the palace, where someone will pick him up."

I want to say sorry to everyone. There are many typos recently, especially the inconsistency between the north and the south, which causes trouble to readers. I am very sorry. It will be continued.
