Chapter 748 The Empress Ascends to Heaven
These two stunningly beautiful women are none other than Mingyue Xin and Yu Feihong!
The two women sat on the roof, watching the officials leave Jia Daoshi's study one after another. Suddenly, they both felt that Jia Daoshi was really not simple. Judging from the current situation, could he be seriously planning to manage Youzhou County?
"Young General, Jia Tisi is no simple man. What did the General say when you delivered the letter to him?" Yu Feihong asked.
“Aunt Yu, my father said that with Grand Tutor Shen’s return, there might be trouble in the capital. He told us to keep a low profile and also rejected the Fifth Prince’s proposal,” Mingyue Xin said.
"Something's going to happen in the capital?" Yu Feihong exclaimed in surprise.
The capital city is like the heart of the Great Jing. If something happens to the capital city, the Great Jing will be thrown into chaos!
……
Meanwhile, a large number of martial arts practitioners appeared on the official road leading to the cliff city.
These people were divided into several groups, and they were all martial arts practitioners who planned to go to Juebi City to seek refuge with Jia Daoshi.
There was no way around it; Jia Daoxian's reputation in the martial arts world was at its zenith.
Furthermore, even within the imperial court, Jia Daoshi was no ordinary person.
Previously, the city of Juebi had announced that it would recruit heroes and fully develop Youzhou County.
These days, even chivalrous heroes in the martial arts world live a pretty frugal life. Now, as soon as they hear about the chance to get a government job and a secure livelihood, many people flock here like moths to a flame.
Whether it works out or not is another matter; let's just go and see!
However, while they were still halfway there, a massive earthquake suddenly struck the capital!
The Empress has passed away!
This news was like a bolt from the blue; it was simply unbelievable!
The Empress is still young and her martial arts skills are not weak. How could she suddenly pass away?
During this period, he attended court every day to deal with the chaos caused by the Qing Turban Rebellion and the mess left behind by the Kushan Empire's invasion!
In addition, a series of tough measures were implemented in the court, demoting some incompetent officials who were just loafing around to commoners, and promoting some officials with real talent and ability.
The powerful Right Chancellor's faction, which previously held absolute power, has been almost entirely purged!
However, the Left Chancellor was highly valued by the Empress.
Meanwhile, Grand Tutor Shen returned to the capital!
But at this crucial juncture, the Empress suddenly passed away!
No one knows what caused the sudden death of Empress Wuxin!
Because the news has been sealed off by the palace!
Many people suspected it was fake news, but after multiple confirmations, the Empress has indeed passed away!
Moreover, the proclamation to the world has already been sent out!
Upon hearing this news, a major upheaval occurred throughout the martial arts world and the imperial court!
"Great chaos is about to erupt in the Great Jing!"
Some of the older generation who had long since retired from the martial arts world were very perceptive and noticed the strangeness of the situation.
At the same time, they had a very long-term vision, knowing that a new wave of chaos was about to begin in the Great Jing Dynasty.
"Master, what exactly is going on? Why did you say that the Great Jing Dynasty is about to descend into chaos? I heard that the First Prince is going to return to the capital to inherit the throne. The First Prince is of good character and is quite popular in the army."
The young disciple looked puzzled.
The retired old man shook his head and sighed deeply: "It is precisely because the eldest prince inherited the throne that the Great Jing Dynasty is in chaos. In the struggle for the throne among the nine princes, the eldest prince is the weakest. His personality is only suitable for leading troops into battle, not for controlling the behemoth that is the court. Moreover, the neighboring Longwu Dynasty and other dynasties will certainly not let go of this good opportunity!"
"Is chaos really about to break out again? We've only just begun to have some peace and stability!"
The disciple looked panicked. The lives of ordinary people were already miserable and miserable. If there was any more unrest, then people would really be worse off than dogs!
At that time, even if you stay at home, disaster will strike unexpectedly.
In times of chaos and war, ordinary people are often powerless to change their fate.
"What should we do? The Great Jing is in chaos, are we still going to the Cliff City?"
The young disciple looked apprehensive.
"That's exactly why we must go to Cliff City!"
The old man patted his disciple on the shoulder, left him with a heartfelt remark, then put his hands behind his back and continued striding towards the nearby Cliff City.
The young disciple looked puzzled at first, but soon his eyes lit up and he quickly followed.
The same scene was unfolding on all the official roads, mountain paths, and village roads leading to Cliff City, with people from all walks of life in the martial arts world converging on Cliff City!
……
"What?! The Empress has passed away?"
Jia Daoshi was stunned for a very long time after hearing this news!
That's Empress Wuxin!
She was perfectly fine when I last saw her!
There is a kind of overwhelming power in this woman!
Such a woman is truly rare!
How could it just disappear like that?
"That's right, the palace has already announced to the world that arrangements have been made for the eldest prince to return to the capital to ascend the throne!"
Shen Li nodded in response.
This message was personally sent back by her grandfather, Grand Tutor Shen, via carrier pigeon, so it must be true.
However, the letter did not mention the reason for the Empress's death, and it is said that the news has been completely blocked.
“Unbelievable! Unbelievable! His Majesty has actually passed away! By the way, didn’t Bingyan return to the capital? Is there any news about her?” Jia Daoshi asked.
"No, His Majesty and Bingyan have always had a good relationship. Bingyan must be heartbroken that His Majesty is in trouble this time."
Upon hearing this, Jia Daoshi couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
That being said, he and the Empress had only met a few times, so they weren't particularly familiar with each other, let alone had any deep feelings for one another.
However, Ji Bingyan is now his wife, and Ji Wuxin has a good relationship with Bingyan, so the situation is different.
"Let's go to the capital in a few days. I haven't been to the capital of the Great Jing Dynasty yet."
Jia Daoshi sighed. As the Imperial City Supervisor and the husband of Princess Taiping, he had no choice but to attend the Empress's passing.
Shen Li shook her head and said, "With His Majesty gone, foreign tribes will surely have designs on us. Juebi City cannot be without a leader for even a day. My grandfather also wrote to say that you don't need to go there, as he is in charge in the capital."
"Oh? Your grandfather said that? Then we really don't need to go? Wouldn't that be inappropriate?"
Jia Daoshi was somewhat puzzled.
“I think Grandpa is right. Youzhou Prefecture is at a critical juncture right now, and it really won't do if you leave. As for the capital, even if you don't go, the court won't care…”
Shen Li now understands Jia Daoshi and offered words of comfort.
"Alright, then I'll write a letter to Bingyan, and you can arrange to send it over later."
Jia Daoshi nodded; Shen Li's words made sense.
"Yes, I will use the fastest hawk to deliver the letter to Sister Bingyan."
Shen Li nodded.
Without hesitation, Jia Daoshi instructed Rouya to prepare pen and ink and immediately began writing the letter.
Jia Daoshi himself was not very proficient in classical Chinese, so he could only write letters in vernacular Chinese, which made the expression simpler and more direct.
