The requirements of Zhenshan Prince Mansion are very simple, they just want to borrow two warships to cross the Celestial Canal and go to the imperial capital.

The Shui family naturally agreed to such a request and immediately began to prepare.

As the host, the Shui family should also show a humble attitude. After all, the King of Zhenshan is the first-class title of the empire. In terms of status, it is more noble than the Eight Princes.

After all, the Eight Princes are just a idle position and have no clear real power. The King of Zhenshan holds military power and can command many empire troops. Even if some of the military power has been reclaimed by the royal family, the prestige in the army is still there and the power to defend the border.

Command hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the border army.

The ruling system of the Celestial Empire can be divided into two parts. The first part is the official force and the second part is the civil forces.

The rule of the official forces is based on the army as a means. Except for the army directly under the royal family, the rest are the armies of major nobles. The Qianlong Army is nominally considered the Mujia Private Army.

The royal family has the right to order all noble troops, but it is not ruled out that some situations of disobeying orders will occur. If this happens, the royal family will send guards to wipe them out and recover their military power.

The supreme ruler of the imperial nobles of the Celestial Empire was the imperial royal family - the Shangguan family.

The second echelon is the princes and the three dukes.

In the Celestial Empire, not only the Mu family, but also many Shangguan family members also enjoy the throne of the princes. These princes have strong and weak power, but they are not easy to judge, but the princes of different surnames,

Only the Mu family.

The three dukes refer to the three thousand-year-old families of Nangong, Yuwen and Murong.

These nobles were the most important first-class nobles in the empire and were the most powerful force besides the Shangguan family. Zhenshan Palace was once ranked in this echelon.

As for the third echelon, there are nobles who enjoy the throne of marquis and those princes who have no real power. Among the many marquis, there are also many powerful clans, with the strength comparable to the monarch, which should not be underestimated.

Below the marquis are the lords of each territory, under the lord are the city lords, and under the lord are the weak nobles who have won the title of nobles.

Royal family - title - marquis - lord - city lord - aristocrats, these are the hierarchical divisions of the official power of the empire.

The Shui family is just a city lord, so it is naturally incomparable to the Zhenshan Palace. Among the nobles, the superior nobles themselves have the right to order the inferior nobles to do business. The Zhenshan King comes to borrow a boat, so the Shui family can only continue.

Shui Ling Poetry and Shui Ling Book returned to the city lord's mansion, and Shui Qianzhou had been waiting for a long time.

"Lingshi, the people of Zhenshan Palace, have they made any excessive requests?"

"No, they just wanted to borrow two warships to cross the river and rush to the imperial capital, and there was no other order."

"That's it! That's good... Just two warships, please tell me, immediately, and vacate two warships and lend them."

"Father, I'm going to this imperial capital event, too."

When Shui Qianzhou heard this, he was shocked and said, "What! You want to go in person. The royal family already has the intention to kill the Shui family. How can you go?"

"Father, if we want to continue to stay in Qingfeng City, we must confirm the crime of rebellion of the Eight Princes and report it to the Emperor. This matter must be made convincing by letting the direct descendants of the Water Family come forward, so I must

go."

If the Shui family wants to continue to be the lord of Qingfeng City, they must confirm the crimes of the Eight Princes. It is inevitable that the imperial capital will be inseparable. Originally, Shui Qianzhou only wanted to send a confidant of the Shui family to the imperial capital to submit the results, but this move is indeed a bit sneering.

Feelings of

"But... it is indeed dangerous to go to the imperial capital this time. If His Majesty the Emperor catches you one day, he may not be able to save you for his father."

"Don't worry, my father, I will pay attention and there will be no problems. Moreover, I guess Mu Yu will also go to the imperial capital. Even if there is any problem, Mu Yu will come to save me."

Shui Qianzhou was a little confused and said, "Oh, how did you know that lords will go to the imperial capital."

"Although I haven't heard him say it in person, I have heard him talk about the imperial capital event during casual chats. People like to join in the fun will never miss such a big event, so I guess he will definitely go to the imperial capital.

Go and find him."

Shui Qianzhou said helplessly: "Well, with your current strength, as long as you are careful, there should be no problem. Moreover, our Shui family is also invited to this imperial capital ceremony, so we should go there."

"However, once you encounter danger, Lingshi, you must immediately escape back to Qingfeng City. No matter what is more important than your own life, do you understand?"

"I got it, father, I will pay attention."

Two days later, three huge warships set sail on the bank of the vast and boundless Tianchao Canal.

Shangguan Susu looked at Shu Lingshi beside her and smiled and said, "Miss Lingshi, are you going to the imperial capital together?"

"Yes, Princess."

"In Qingfeng City these days, I often hear the feats of the Shui family. I heard that the Shui family discovered evidence of the treason of the Eight Princes, so the Eight Princes led their troops to encircle and suppress them. Unexpectedly, the Eight Princes gathered 300,000 yuan.

The elites are actually no match for the Shui family, which is really unbelievable!”

"The princess is so ridiculous. My Shui family is forced to fight back."

"I also heard that Miss Lingshi showed her power in this battle and was regarded as a goddess by Qingfeng City. But this is the case."

"This is all nonsense among civilians, the princess doesn't need to mind."

"Your Water Family killed the Eight Princes. Even if the Eight Princes really treason, he is still His Majesty's brother. You just killed him like this, and you are not afraid that the Emperor will cause trouble for you."

"So, Ling Shi will personally tell His Majesty the crimes committed by the Eight Princes. If His Majesty knew who the Eight Prince was, he would definitely not blame the Shui family."

"Oh, will it really go so well?"

Shangguan Susu knew all the truth and knew that the Emperor would never give up. Shui Lingshi would go to the imperial capital for a lifetime.

After hesitating, Shangguan Susu said: "If Miss Lingshi encounters any difficulties in the imperial capital, you can come to the prince. If you can do whatever you can, the prince will definitely help."

Shui Lingshi could not have imagined that the Zhenshan Prince's Mansion was willing to help him. She was confused and said, "Thank you for your mercy. If you really encounter danger, I hope the princess can help you."

Shui Lingshi herself knew that this trip was dangerous, but she must go there. As long as Mu Yu wanted to go, no matter how dangerous she was, she wanted to follow her.

"It's okay...this is what my husband means."

Shangguan Susu hesitated for a moment and said with a smile: "My husband attaches great importance to Miss Lingshi. Miss Lingshi is interested in coming to the royal palace to be a concubine."

Shui Lingshi was stunned and immediately said, "Thank you for your kindness. Lingshi has already had a engagement. It seems that she has no luck to become a prince's woman."

"Since that's the case, I won't force it." Shangguan Susu smiled and turned around and left.

Seeing Shangguan Susu entering the deck, Shui Lingshi whispered: "The King of Zhenshan will not like me, right... It seems that after getting ashore, I will have to find an excuse to separate from the King of Zhenshan Mansion."

There is only Mu Chen in the heart of Shui Lingsi, so naturally they don’t care about the King of Zhenshan. In order to avoid the King of Zhenshan being strong, Shui Lingsi can only find an excuse to be alone in God.

Shui Lingsi is willing to take risks alone, so that we can catch up with Mu Chen's footsteps, and our Mu Chen is already thousands of miles away.
