The empress briefly explained the situation and handed over the secret letter to everyone, first to Zhou An, who was closest to him.

Zhou An shook the letter and walked a few steps aside. The other people were military generals and there was not so much red tape. They immediately gathered next to Zhou An and looked at the letter.

This is a handwritten letter written by King Rong to the Empress.

Speaking of King Rong, he is not a prince, but a prince, so the exact one should be called King Rong. He is also the prefect of Rongcheng, the largest city in the north of Donggan. He is the governor of Yourongzhou Prefecture and the general of the cavalry of the country, named Li Songdao.

The Yourong Li family is one of the most famous families in the north of Donggan. The history of its founding can be traced to the Shun Dynasty thousands of years ago. Although Yourong Prefecture is far away from the prosperous land of Zhongzhou and is only separated from the Northern Rong Empire, it has always been a prosperous and prosperous place. There are many famous families that have been passed down for hundreds or even thousands of years. The Li family is one of them, and it can also be said to be the largest aristocratic family in Yourong Prefecture!

In Yourongzhou, when it comes to the Li family, everyone knows it, and even the whole world knows it, but this is not because Li Songdao is a vassal official with heavy troops, and it has nothing to do with him not being a vassal king but being as powerful as a vassal king!

The real reason is...the Li family has produced an emperor!

The real name of the Emperor of the God Capital is Li Si!

He is Li Songdao’s third sister!

Li Songdao is the elder brother of the Emperor of the Goddess!

In other words, he is the uncle of the current Emperor Shenzhao!

Speaking of the current world trend, Wu Xukuan has great power and can be called power in the world. But in fact, most of the troops that Wu Xukuan can control are directly under the imperial army, local army and border army. He can control it, but naturally there are also people who cannot. He cannot control the six major vassal kings, and at most he can only cooperate with a few of them.

In addition to the six major vassal kings, the local clan forces are also very strong. The more remote the place, the weaker the control of the court, and Wu Xukuan naturally does not have too strong control over him.

Donggan is really too big, and there are too many places far away from the emperor. For a great dynasty that has been established for hundreds of years, the birth of aristocratic families can be said to be an inevitable result.

The Yourong Li family can be said to be one of the largest clans in Donggan.

The Li family was not so strong at first. It was able to grow to this day and even control the entire state in its hands. This has a lot to do with the support of the Queen of Goddess after she ascended the throne, and also has to do with the Queen of Goddess's knowledge that after her death, she knew in her later years that the world might be in chaos, and she deliberately arranged it.

The Emperor of God Capital knew what might happen after his death, so he naturally left some trump cards for Emperor God Zhao, and this Li family was one of them.

Once chaos occurs in the capital, it will cause chaos in the world. Empress Shen Zhao leaves the capital to take refuge, and the first thing she has to go to is Jiangning Prefecture, Jiangzhou, in the south.

Jiangning was the old capital of the previous dynasty and also the accompanying capital of Donggan. There were not only palaces there, but also various imperial yamen in Ganzhou. There were basically all kinds of imperial yamen in Ganzhou. When the empress went there, it could be used directly to maintain the operation of the court. It could also be used as a basis to dispatch and command to quell the rebellion.

If Jiangning Mansion cannot be accessed for various reasons, then the Empress's second choice is Yourong Prefecture in the north. Although Yourong Prefecture is relatively far away and its geographical location is far inferior to Jiangzhou next to Zhongzhou, it is also an excellent choice, because Yourong Li family is the most solid supporter and backer of the Empress!

...

The secret letter was written by the empress's uncle.

He gave a detailed account of Prince Ning's departure from Xining Prefecture without authorization and secretly rushing to the capital.

Prince Ning was escorted all the way in Xining Prefecture, which he had left secretly half a month ago, and rushed to the capital with his identity hidden. By the time Prince Rong sent this letter, he had already left Yourong Prefecture, and Prince Rong had also sent someone to secretly pursue him.

Prince Rong also said in his letter that the reason why he knew about this was actually an accident, because after Prince Ning Wu Yunsheng secretly left Xining Prefecture, he shouldn't have crossed the border from Yourong Prefecture, and going to Yourong Prefecture was a detour.

But Prince Ning still took a detour to Yourongzhou.

Prince Rong analyzed the reasons why Prince Ning took a detour!

It should be because of the war in the northern border!

The eight states in the northern border were beaten by the Beirong Empire. This affected Prince Ning's route to Beijing, which made Prince Ning even more worried that once the Beirong Empire invested more troops, even if it could not defeat Yuxing Pass, it could continue to fight east and west, and first conquered the northwest and northeastern provinces of the Donggan Dynasty.

That's why.

Prince Ning took a detour to Yourong Prefecture, which has hundreds of thousands of troops and has Yuxing Pass, the largest pass in the north of Donggan and the north, which can be said to be very safe.

This letter was sent by Prince Rong from Yourong Prefecture five days ago. According to what he said, it would take at least one month before Prince Ning could enter Zhongzhou, and it would take at least one and a half months to reach the capital.

But he also said that this is calculated based on the normal travel speed.

Prince Ning Wu Yunsheng is the eldest son of Emperor Shizong and the eldest brother of dozens of children of Emperor Shizong. In terms of age, Emperor Shenzhao Wu Yunyi is the second-last child in the last place under Emperor Shizong, and the youngest is Princess Yunjing... Prince Ning is more than forty years older than Emperor Shenzhao and is now over sixty years old.

At this age, he was still riding secretly in a carriage under heavy escorts, so he naturally couldn't get fast.

At the end of the letter, Prince Rong asked the empress for instructions, if he chased someone, would he directly execute him secretly?!

After reading the secret letter, everyone looked at each other but were speechless.

In fact, everyone understood why Prince Ning came to Beijing. Wu Xukuan was naturally preparing for the deposed empress to support the new empress. The best candidate for the new empress is Wu Yunsheng... There is nothing more suitable than him, because he was the crown prince since he was born, and he served as the crown prince for more than 40 years until he was deposed by the Emperor Shendu. Moreover, he was the crown prince appointed by Emperor Xuanzong and the only successor decided before Emperor Xuanzong's death.

It is righteous to support him as the emperor!

Wu Xukuan needed a puppet emperor so that he could gradually complete the handover of imperial power by "legal" means to achieve the ultimate goal of seeking the country and becoming an emperor, so as to ensure that the country is not in chaos. Everyone understands this.

However, judging from the current situation, no matter what... Prince Ning is the empress's eldest brother!

This is why everyone is not easy to speak.

Suggest the empress to chase his elder brother?

Who is responsible for any problems?

After all, Wu Yunsheng is not doing anything. He just secretly left Xiningzhou despite the orders of the Emperor Shendu during his lifetime. He killed him in this way. Once the news leaked, the Empress will bear the name of killing his brother, which will have an unimaginable blow to the Empress's reputation!

In a country that governs the world with filial piety, many ethical problems are even bigger than heaven! When my angrily kills the son who made a mistake, it is not a problem. It is not only ethical and moral problems, but may even be fine in the law.

Because he is me!

But if the younger sister kills her brother, even if she is the emperor, there will be problems...

And those who are emperors often care more about reputation.

Especially for the current empress, reputation is very important!

The hall is quiet.

"What do you think about this?" The empress spoke. What she wanted was not quiet, but to solve the problem!
