On Hongqiao Street, tens of thousands of people knelt and cried.

The entire capital city was enveloped in melancholy, and the red walls and golden palaces were soon replaced with funeral white silk.

The four most important ministers in the court also petitioned hard to allow the prince to ascend the throne during the national mourning period, mobilize troops to support Jinzhou, take charge of the overall situation, and stabilize the country.

The enthronement ceremony and the queen conferment ceremony were held at the same time.

However, the minister did not agree to make Shen Lian queen.

"Ten corpses were dug up in the Shen family mansion. When the late emperor was still alive, he demoted the Shen family to Jinzhou to control the epidemic and left them to fend for themselves. The current Crown Princess Shen has a sinful mother's family and is not worthy of being the mother of the country. The crown prince should choose another one. Only when a daughter from an aristocratic family is canonized as a queen can all people be convinced."

There were endless disputes between the DPRK and the DPRK regarding post-establishment matters.

Lord Chen was the first to stand up and object to Shen Lian becoming queen.

Mo Junli was sitting in the golden palace with a gloomy face. He looked at Prime Minister Liu.

He is one of the four important ministers and the only one who has not yet spoken: "Prime Minister."

"Wei Chen is here."

"What do you think?"

Prime Minister Liu said: "Back to the emperor, the guilty ones are the Shen family, and the people who were demoted to Jinzhou to control the epidemic are also people from the Shen family. What does it have to do with the Shen family in the capital?"

The ministers exclaimed.

No one expected that the prime minister, who usually fought to the death with the Shen family faction, would actually stand up and speak for the crown princess.

"The three generations of queens in our dynasty all come from the Shen family, and the country has prosperous fortunes. More importantly..." Prime Minister Liu turned around and faced everyone: "The Crown Princess is pregnant with a dragon fetus, and her name is justifiable. How can she not convince all the people?"

Prime Minister Liu's voice fell heavily, causing all the officials in the court to be very dissatisfied with his words.

Mr. Chen was furious and looked at the rest of the Liu family.

The Liu family party members silently raised their heads and looked at the golden pillars above their heads. No one raised a voice to object.

The ministers who opposed Shen Lian's establishment of the queen jumped angrily.

Mo Junli actually liked Prime Minister Liu for once: "The Prime Minister is right. The Crown Princess is from the Shen family and is now pregnant with a dragon fetus. She has entered the middle palace, which is just and right. There is nothing in the court anymore that can only be discussed and established." What happened next? During the battle between Jinzhou and Chen State, have you come up with any countermeasures? The epidemic is out of control in Jinzhou. Do you have any ideas? Do you think Gu doesn’t know your thoughts? The national crisis is at hand. You don’t plan for the people, but To only care about family interests is really disappointing."

Mo Junli was furious.

The ministers knelt on the ground one after another.

"Your Majesty, the epidemic is out of control in Jinzhou. The only way to close the city is to close the city. We can send troops to Quan County. After the Chen Kingdom conquers Jinzhou and massacres the city, the next target of the Chen soldiers must be Quan County. At that time, our army will lay a dragnet in Quan County. Chen Bing fight back." Mr. Zhang spoke first.

Mo Junli frowned deeply: "Mr. Zhang, do you mean to wait for the Chen Kingdom to conquer Jinzhou and then let the Chen Kingdom kill all the people in Jinzhou before we, the Shang Dynasty, take action?"

He picked up the folder in front of him and threw it down angrily: "Are you crazy?"

"Prince, calm down." Master Yun said, "Although what Master Zhang said is cruel, what Jinzhou has to face now is not just war."

"The epidemic is out of control, so seclusion is the best policy. If we send troops to Jinzhou again, I am afraid that they will be infected with the epidemic before they die in the battle, causing great losses. In order to prevent the epidemic from bringing to the soldiers, Master Zhang's The plan may not be feasible. When Emperor Hui was in power, he also ordered the massacre of the city. Only then could the epidemic be eradicated and the country saved."

Mr. Zhang's words made Taifu Lan feel unbearable: "That's Jinzhou with a population of more than 200,000. How can we just ignore it? Prince, Jinzhou is the gate of the country. If we don't even want the gate of the country, the Shang Dynasty will be destroyed soon."

"Teacher Lan." Mr. Chen frowned and said, "Be careful what you say."

Tutor Lan straightened his back and said with excitement, "Your Highness, you should immediately send imperial doctors and reinforcements to Jinzhou."

Master Zhang said: "Who knows whether to cure the epidemic first or repel the Chen soldiers first. If the epidemic is not stabilized and the reinforcements sent are also infected with the epidemic, wouldn't it be in vain?"

Tutor Lan blew his beard angrily and glared: "If we massacre the city, God will not tolerate it."

"Did I tell His Highness the Crown Prince to order the massacre of the city?" Mr. Zhang turned back and glanced at Taifu Lan, and then said to the Crown Prince: "Your Highness the Crown Prince, as long as Xiangcheng in Jinzhou is captured, Chen Bing will definitely order the massacre of the city. We will use this opportunity to This is an opportunity to spread the news to the Three Kingdoms that the Chen soldiers massacred our people in Jinzhou, angering people. In this way, the crisis of the epidemic is resolved, and our government can quickly mobilize 150,000 troops from the north and south to drive back the Chen soldiers and recapture Jinzhou. .”

"You..." Taifu Lan pointed at Mr. Zhang angrily: "The treacherous ministers in power are a danger to the people and a disaster to the country. Your Highness, you must not do this."

At first, Mo Junli thought what Mr. Zhang said was ridiculous, but after some analysis, Mo Junli began to waver in his heart. However, due to Taifu Lan's obstruction, Mo Junli did not decide the matter in court: "Jinzhou When it comes to war, Guhui will consider it carefully, put the people first, and will not forget the Taifu's teachings, and retreat from the court first."

He stood up in a hurry and left the court quickly.

Not long after, Mo Junli ordered Gao Zhan to privately call Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhao, Mr. Yun and the prime minister to the Yizheng Hall to discuss the war in Jinzhou.

Finally, the prince issued a secret order to send reinforcements to Quan County and not enter Jinzhou!
