Chapter 416 Zhou Sheng Ru Gu 27
Zhou Shengchen and his companions were all confused as they listened to the people talking.

The common people seemed to have known that the Nanchen Palace was coming, and were waiting here to watch the fun.

This is how the same thing?

Ling Xi secretly curled the corners of his lips, hiding his achievements and fame.

How could she dare to let Zhou Shengchen come to Zhongzhou City without any preparation?

Long before she set out, she had asked Qi Jinzhao's people to spread rumors throughout Northern Chen.

The young Nanchen King Zhou Shengchen went to Zhongzhou in person to attend the funeral. However, the people in the court were ambitious and could not stand the fact that the young Nanchen King, who worked hard for the country and the people, held great power. They planned to ask the young Nanchen King to break his oath and enter the imperial city alone in the name of supporting the new emperor.

After entering the palace, those people in the court will force the young King Nanchen, and may even wait for an opportunity to deal with him.

Zhou Shengchen has always had a very good reputation among the people. Even in Zhongzhou City, which is far away from the border, there are rumors about Zhou Shengchen and the Nanchen Royal Army.

Therefore, once this rumor spread, it attracted discussions among many people in the community.

The people of Zhongzhou City are all waiting to see whether the people in the palace will invite Zhou Shengchen into the imperial city as rumored.

After waiting outside the city gate for about an hour, someone from the palace finally came out.

The leader was wearing a eunuch's hat, so he must be a highly valued eunuch in the palace.

Ling Xi sat upright on the horse. She had good eyesight and could naturally see the person coming clearly.

She didn't know who that person was, but she knew whose orders he was following.

This eunuch should have come here on the orders of the young prince's biological mother Qi Zhenzhen and Grand Tutor Yi Guang.

The little prince is about to ascend the throne, but he is only six years old, how can he rule the country himself? Therefore, the prince's biological mother Qi Zhenzhen and the current queen Gao will rule the country from behind the curtain and compete with each other.

In Ling Xi's opinion, Gao cannot defeat Qi Zhenzhen. The prince's biological mother is a scheming and resourceful person, who is not comparable to Gao.

Besides this, she received news that the current Grand Tutor in the court, the head of the Qinghe County Yu family, Yu Guang, had entered the palace half a month ago.

The Qinghe Yi family was the most prosperous aristocratic family in the Northern Chen Dynasty. Yi Guang was even smarter than a fox and was good at judging the situation.

He was also good friends with Qi Zhenzhen, and there was a girl in his family who was engaged to a prince of the royal family.

It is obvious whose side Xi Guang will stand on.

I'm afraid that by the time they leave Zhongzhou, the Gao family will no longer exist.

Thinking of the Yi family, Ling Xi remembered Li Qilang, whom he rescued two years ago, who seemed to be the husband of the third lady of the Yi family.

Because Li Qilang had offended Empress Gao, Lady Yi forced Li Qilang and Lady Yi San to divorce.

Now, the only young lady of the Yu family is Li Qilang's daughter.

Forget it, Ling Xi shook her head. Why think so much? Anyway, Li Qilang was already a dead man in the eyes of others for the time being. Now he was working for her, so he was her subordinate.

The Xi family is not her family, why should she care so much?

Ling Xi once again turned his gaze to the eunuch who was running towards them.

The eunuch didn't ride a horse or a carriage. He just ran over slowly and with great fanfare, and his short legs moved quite fast.

The eunuch's name was Zhao Teng, and he was ordered by Empress Dowager Qi and Grand Tutor Li to invite Zhou Shengchen into the palace.

Unfortunately, just as he had thought of what to say, when he saw crowds of people at the city gate looking at him with gossipy eyes, all his preparations turned into panic.

When the people saw Zhao Teng appear, they became agitated.

"Hey, someone really came to the palace!"

"Look at this person coming here, he is in a hurry, I am afraid he really wants to force the little King Nanchen to enter the palace." "Then those people in the court, do they really want to take the opportunity to kill him after the little King Nanchen enters the palace?"

"Who knows? Anyway, those people are not good."

"That's right. The young Prince Nanchen has sworn never to enter the palace, but these people are forcing him to break his oath. They have such vicious intentions."

Listening to the conversations among the people, Zhao Teng broke out in cold sweat.

Empress Dowager Qi and the Grand Tutor did have such an idea in mind. They wanted to force Zhou Shengchen to break his oath of never setting foot in Zhongzhou City again, invite him to the palace to meet the new emperor, and force Zhou Shengchen to support the new emperor's ascension to the throne in front of all the court officials.

After all, Zhou Shengchen is a vassal prince who commands an army of 700,000, has a great reputation, and is of royal blood. He is the younger brother of the previous emperor, so the new emperor has to call him the emperor's uncle.

Coming to Zhongzhou but not entering the city, wouldn't this make the other vassal kings think that Zhou Shengchen did not support the new emperor?

But if Zhou Shengchen expressed his opinion, the ministers in the court would not dare to say anything.

At the same time, the princes of various places would not dare to act rashly because of Zhou Shengchen.

But how did the people know the Queen Mother and the Grand Tutor’s intentions?
They were all gathered at the city gate to watch the show. How could Zhao Teng tell them why he was here?

If he told everyone his purpose, and Zhou Shengchen suffered any injustice in the palace, the people would curse the people in the court to death and their reputation would be ruined.

At this time, Zhao Teng was in a dilemma. He looked at the people from the Nanchen Palace who were so close to him, but he couldn't speak no matter what.

Zhou Shengchen and his men could hear clearly the movements of the people, and naturally understood what was happening.

Someone spread the news that they were heading to Zhongzhou and spread some rumors that were favorable to them.

That’s why the current scene appears.

I just don't know, is the person behind this really doing good for them? Or does he want to take advantage of the opportunity to disrupt the court of Northern Chen?

The person behind the scenes. Ling Xi smiled slightly, hiding his achievements and fame.

Although she knew that for Nan Xiao, getting rid of Zhou Shengchen was the best option.

But she didn't want Zhou Shengchen to die in the conspiracy of the court.

If a man like him dies, he should die honorably on the battlefield, dying for his country, his people, and his people.

Instead of being killed by this group of despicable and shameless people who are fighting for power.

She believed that her brother must have the same idea as her.

Xie Chong has always known that the court is wary and cautious of His Highness.

After all, he was an example in the beginning.

The current scene is probably just as the people say, people in the court want to force His Highness to enter the palace.

I just don't know what they are trying to do.

But there is one thing he is absolutely sure of. Once he enters the palace, given His Highness's temperament, he will definitely be the one who suffers.

Ling Xi glanced at Zhou Shengchen, and then said calmly: "Zhou Shengchen, I win this bet."

Zhou Shengchen pursed his lips and forced a smile at Ling Xi.

He felt his voice was bitter: "Yes, you win."

This calculation made him see the people in Zhongzhou clearly.

Even though he had vowed to garrison Xizhou for his entire life, he still could not reassure the people in the court.

Why do this?
