Chapter 161: The Person Behind Concubine Shu
After all these attempts, Jiang Chen finally found out.
Standing behind Concubine Shu is Prince An!
As for the Xia Kingdom today, who can successfully seize the throne in the upcoming turmoil?
Except for the King of Huai'an who lived in a corner of the south of the Yangtze River and the King of Jin who guarded the north.
They were undoubtedly Prince An and the Prince Regent who guarded the western border of the Xia Kingdom.
The reason is simple, it's because Prince Jin also has the ambition to seize the throne.
However, Qi and Ming, located to the north of Xia, were constantly at war.
They have even repeatedly invaded the northern border of Xia State!
Therefore, even if Prince Jin wanted to seize the throne, he did not dare to leave the northern border.
Once the northern border is lost, he, King Jin, will become the ruler of the Xia Kingdom.
It also ended up being destroyed by the Qi and Ming states that marched southward.
Therefore, in comparison, after the marriage, the Canglang Kingdom never fought with the Xia Kingdom again.
Prince An has a greater chance of winning and is confident enough to seize the throne.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen had to include Prince An in his list.
As he walked, Jiang Chen suddenly patted his head.
"How could I forget her!"
"I don't know how she is doing in Canglang Country, or the development of Jinyiwei..."
It was not until then that Jiang Chen remembered.
Far away in the Canglang Country, I still have a chess piece to use!
And this chess piece is none other than Guan Zhihe, who is marrying Xu San! !
Just as Jiang Chen was thinking of Guan Zhihe, far away in the capital of Canglang Kingdom, in the residence of the eldest prince Ahamu.
Ahamu was standing behind a woman in black with a flattering look on his face.
"Madam, do you have any other instructions?"
"No more, you go down first!"
In response to Ahamu's question, the woman in black replied coldly.
"Okay, then ma'am, I'll go down first."
Seeing that the woman in black had nothing left for him to do, Ahamu smiled and retreated.
After Ahamu left, the woman stood up and slowly looked towards the direction of Xia State.
"I don't know how he is now..."
Just then, several dark shadows walked out of the darkness.
Then, he knelt in front of the woman.
"lady!"
"How's it going?"
The woman didn't turn around, but looked in the direction below and asked.
"Madam, we have successfully placed our people in each tribe of the Canglang Nation."
"Once there is any movement in the tribes, we will be the first to know."
After listening to the black shadow's report, the woman turned around and nodded with satisfaction.
"Is there any new news from Xia Country?"
"Madam, your Excellency has successfully wiped out the Japanese threat in Jiangnan."
"And, I estimate that he has returned to the imperial capital."
When the news about Xia Country was mentioned, proud smiles appeared on the faces of several black shadows.
"Okay, I get it, you guys go down first!"
"Yes, ma'am."
After saying that, several dark shadows came and went in a hurry and merged back into the darkness.
Watching the disappearing black shadow, the woman slowly sat back down at the desk.
This woman is none other than Guan Zhihe, the one who replaced the prince with a cat!
After three months of continuous efforts, Guan Zhihe has successfully helped the Jinyiwei gain a foothold in the Canglang Kingdom.
Of course, Ahamu, the eldest prince of the Canglang Kingdom, her husband.
Now, it is completely under her control.
And, under her advice.
Ahamu had already been appointed as the crown prince by the Wolf Lord of Canglang Kingdom, who was also the ruler of Canglang Kingdom!
This made Ahamu, who was already in love with Guan Zhihe, even more obedient to her.
But she remained chaste and refused to let Ahamu touch her.
Just because, in her heart, she still couldn't let go of that man.
Turn your attention back to Xia Guo.
After a night's rest, Jiang Chen was served by the Caiyi sisters.
I got up before dawn and took a shower and changed clothes.
Jiang Chen, wearing the Qilin costume, walked out of the courtyard and came to the emperor's bedroom.
When he arrived, Su Dingxia and Li Xianglian also walked over wearing flying fish suits.
"Oh, Lord Jiang is finally back."
"I haven't seen you for three months. Lord Jiang has finally made it."
Before Jiang Chen could speak, Li Xianglian spoke in a sarcastic tone.
Hearing this familiar shrill voice, Jiang Chen did not get angry.
"Haha, it's all thanks to the emperor."
"But you, Eunuch Li, I haven't seen you for three months, and you are still as mean as before."
Jiang Chen retorted with a fake smile.
"you……!"
Li Xianglian was immediately angry after hearing Jiang Chen's words, and spoke loudly in her shrill voice.
But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Su Dingxia who was standing beside him.
"Eunuch Li, Lord Jiang is now the Marquis of Jiyuan."
"You and I should show more respect!"
After hearing what Su Dingxia said, Li Xianglian had no choice but to swallow her anger for the time being.
Looking at Li Xianglian's expression as if she had eaten shit.
Jiang Chen couldn't help but secretly give Su Dingxia a thumbs up in his heart.
Soon, the Queen Mother arrived outside the Emperor's bedroom accompanied by a group of palace maids and eunuchs.
"Jiang Chen is back?!"
The sharp-eyed queen mother looked at Jiang Chen's figure and immediately became delighted.
"Jiang Chen has met the Queen Mother."
Seeing the Queen Mother's hungry look as if she wanted to eat him, Jiang Chen quickly lowered his head and saluted.
"Get up!"
"It's good to be back, it's good to be back."
The Queen Mother also realized that her attitude was somewhat inappropriate, so she quickly put her thoughts aside.
Seeing that the Queen Mother had also arrived, Jiang Chen and the other two protected her all the way to the Qianqing Palace.
Today is the day for the early morning court session.
As the Emperor was still ill, the morning court was naturally presided over by the Empress Dowager and the Regent.
With the help of Jiang Chen, the Queen Mother sat on a phoenix chair next to the dragon chair.
The Regent also sat on a stool under the dragon throne.
Seeing that the two people presiding over the morning court were already in place, Su Dingxia loudly called all the civil and military officials in.
"Announce all civil and military officials to come to the audience!"
The civil and military officials who had been waiting outside the palace for a long time heard Su Dingxia's voice.
He quickly straightened his appearance and strode into the Qianqing Palace.
After standing in their usual order of precedence, all the civil and military officials knelt down and shouted in unison.
"Greetings to the Queen Mother."
"Meet the Regent!"
"Okay, everyone get up."
"If you have anything to report, please report it. If not, please leave the court!"
After asking all civil and military officials to stand up, the Regent spoke loudly.
But in recent days, nothing major has happened in the Xia Kingdom.
Therefore, no one submitted any memorial.
But at this moment, Su Dingxia stood up.
Su Dingxia was seen under the puzzled gaze of civil and military officials.
He walked all the way to the dragon throne and took out an imperial edict from his arms.
"The Emperor decrees, by the will of Heaven."
"Today, Jiang Chen, the regent of Xia State, has made great contributions in eliminating the Japanese pirates in the south of the Yangtze River."
"Therefore, I hereby appoint him as the Minister of War and Marquis of Jiyuan. I decree this!"
