Chapter 443 Crowning Ceremony

Yueshi Royal City.

Mokdu's steps were in a hurry. He who usually attached great importance to etiquette could not care about anything else at this time. He broke into the room and saw his teacher Tudor writing on a wax tablet, which made him feel relieved.

"What's wrong with you?"

Tudor raised his head and glanced at Mokdu, but didn't take it to heart.

"Teacher, the Yuezhi King has been seriously ill since winter. It seems that he may not be able to survive."

"What did you say?"

The movements in Tudor's hands stopped, and his face changed slightly.

"Is the news reliable?"

"It's from Kulak."

"That woman?" Tudor was always wary of this charming woman like Kurak, "What's Barrett's attitude?"

"He seemed to think this was a good opportunity."

Tudor shook his head and didn't think so.

"If Barrett wants to make a difference, the troops in his hands are not enough. There are 30,000 troops loyal to the royal family around the royal capital, and there are also 5,000 guards in the palace. Barrett must have at least two people in the royal city. Without the support of Lord Xi, it would be impossible to succeed."

"Amber and Gubic?"

"Amber is a staunch supporter of the crown prince. It is very difficult to convince him."

Tudor smiled.

"It seems impossible, but it is not impossible. I talked with Amber. He is very knowledgeable, very ethical, and even a bit of a germaphobe in this area. But I noticed that he has a weakness."

Mokdu asked with joy on his face.

"What a weakness."

"Licious!"

"But I didn't hear that he had an affair with any woman."

"Luxury does not necessarily require relationships with many women. I noticed that Amber's expression changed abnormally every time he met Yamina. Once, I even saw him staring at Yamina's buttocks. .”

Mokdu was a little confused after hearing Tudor's words.

"But what to do?"

"What would happen if Amber was discovered by her husband Stellan while she was having an affair with Yamina. And Stellan happened to die?"

Mokdu understood.

"Then I will get a handle on the 'highly virtuous' Amber, and I will also get rid of the crown prince's most capable subordinate in the bodyguard."

Weaving a huge conspiracy, Tudor's expression was very dull, there was not much change, and the movements in his hands did not stop.

"That way, take the next one. As for Gubic, he's greedy."

Mokdu smiled.

"What if you promise to give him the hundreds of carts of trade goods that Lord Hanyang from the East is about to send after the deal is done?"

"Then take the second one."

Tudor's writing was coming to an end, and after the last stroke was sketched, the movements in his hands finally stopped.

"But for you, the most important thing at this moment is to become Barrett's adopted son."

Tudor waved to Mokdu to come over. Mokdu saw what his teacher had written on the wax tablet.

"This is……"

"I imitated Barrett's handwriting. Only if you become his adopted son can you obtain the right to inherit and inherit everything from him."

"teacher……"

A rigorous plan clearly appeared in his mind. If it succeeded, he could become the king of the Yueshi.

Mokdu's breathing became a little rapid, but Tudor beside him remained calm.

"Whether you can succeed depends on the two women, Kulak and Yamina. Especially Kulak, only with her lobbying can you become Barrett's adopted son."

A smile appeared on Mokdu's face.

Nanzheng land.

"Fan Yuqi's army has already set off?"

Mo Ya stood in front of Zhao Shuang and nodded.

"The news from Dongjun is that Fan Yuqi's vanguard has entered Yedi. The Zhao State has sent Hu Zhuo to lead an army of 100,000 to respond, and has also settled in Pingyang."

Zhao Shuang didn't care about the war there. Whether he wins or loses, it has nothing to do with Zhao Shuang.

What's really important is that the hundreds of trucks of goods bound for Yuezhi have already started setting off. If everything goes well, the first caravan should be back in action at the beginning of spring.

"My lord, the messenger from Queen Mother Huayang is here."

At this time, Bai Lu walked in from the outside with a knife in his hand.

"Queen Mother Huayang?"

Zhao Shuang was stunned and gave an order.

"Let him in."

Zhao Shuang did not expect that the envoy of the Queen Mother Huayang was actually her brother Yangquan Jun.

The other party had a gray beard and smiled when he saw Zhao Shuang.

"Why are you here?"

Although this person is also a relative of the Chu family, he is very senior. Even Lord Changping has to be polite when he sees him.

Zhao Shuang felt strange in his heart. This old guy had always been pampered in his own fiefdom and didn't care about anything. Why did he come here after traveling across mountains and rivers at this time of year?

"Master Hanyang, I am here because of your important matters."

"I?"

"Hanyang Jun will soon be of age for the crowning ceremony. The Queen Mother specially asked Hanyang Jun to go to Xianyang to have a lively ceremony. Let Da Zongzheng, the most virtuous and respected member of the clan, preside over the ceremony and perform the crowning ceremony for Hanyang Jun."

The crowning ceremony is very important for men, as it represents the official adulthood. But the problem is that when Zhao Shuang inherited Zhaojiacun, it had already been held.

Zhao Shuang said it out, but Yang Quanjun didn't take it seriously.

"Hey, the Crowning Ceremony is the most important etiquette. How can we do it so hastily and just put on a crown? The old Queen Mother said that after the Crowning Ceremony of Hanyang, she would first formally marry a few concubines, and then find a job in the court. . Anyway, with the military merits achieved by Lord Hanyang, even if he seeks the position of Jiuqing, others can’t say anything about it.”

Zhao Shuang was a little confused as to what the old queen mother had planned.

In this case, what will happen to Mr. Changping?

"Changping-kun also knows?"

Yangquan Jun is an old man, so he didn't know what Zhao Shuang meant, so he immediately smiled.

"Hanyang Jun is also the son-in-law of our Chu people. If there is anything he can't get through, the old queen is planning this matter. As soon as he said it, Xiong Qi agreed. After all, we are all a family! In a few years, It's time for Mi Lian to get her haircut. Once we get through, no matter how big the misunderstanding is, how can he, the father-in-law, still embarrass his son-in-law?"

Zhao Shuang bowed his hand.

"In that case, thank you Yang Quanjun."

Things may not be as Yangquan Jun said, Changping Jun will be happy. However, this was the Queen Mother's wish after all, and he could not openly refuse it.

As long as the towering tree of the Queen Mother Huayang exists, the Chu family will be as stable as Mount Tai. Similarly, because of her status, it is impossible for some meritorious officials within the Qin State to openly confront the Chu clan.

To a certain extent, the Queen Mother Huayang was also the cornerstone of maintaining the balance of power within the Qin State.

There are many discords between the relatives of the Chu family represented by Lord Changping and the aristocratic clans, but all the disputes are still going on under the water. Even if the undercurrents are surging, they have not turned into huge waves on the water.

"In that case, I will report back right now."
