Chapter 250: The Chu Family's Letter of Cancellation of Engagement

Seeing that most of the officials in the hall suggested banning the newspaper, Lu Chen smiled. He was about to say something when Zhuge Chongguang spoke first: "As far as I know, the only one capable of printing paper books and paper manuscripts on a large scale is the Northern King's Mansion.

Zhuge Chongguang was not talking to Lu Chen, but to remind the officials in the hall who said they wanted to ban the newspaper that the newspaper would not be able to open without the Northern King's nod.

After hearing what Zhuge Chongguang said, the officials reacted instantly. Li Rui said at this time: "Your Majesty, I think that although there may be people with ulterior motives who use newspapers to spread some remarks that are unfavorable to the Northern Kingdom, as long as we supervise them properly, newspapers can also become an important tool for our internal or external propaganda. "

"So I don't think it's necessary to ban the newspaper. "

Seeing Li Rui's face change so quickly, Lu Chen laughed and said: "Lord Li, your face change speed is really not ordinary fast. "

Speaking of this, Lu Chen glanced at the other officials in the hall, and then continued: "The Dongfang family came to me before establishing the newspaper. Their newspaper was established with the permission of the Northern King. As for the disadvantages you just mentioned, I have already considered them, but I think the establishment of a newspaper has more advantages than disadvantages."

"In addition, in order to prevent private newspapers from guiding public opinion, I plan to create an official newspaper. In the future, any major events in the Northern Kingdom will be published in the official newspaper, and the announcements of the Northern King's Palace will also be published in the official newspaper."

Lu Chen continued: "In addition to establishing an official newspaper, I also plan to set up a new cultural bureau. In the future, the review of books or newspapers will be handed over to the Cultural Bureau."

Speaking of this, Lu Chen looked at Zhuge Chongguang, "Grand Scholar, I'll trouble you to set up the Cultural Bureau."

Zhuge Chongguang immediately said: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Lu Chen then asked: "Anything else today? "

After Lu Chen finished speaking, the officials in the hall looked at each other and no one spoke.

Lu Chen said: "Since there is nothing else to do, I will say one more thing. From now on, the court session will be changed to once every seven days. "

Hearing Lu Chen's words, the officials in the hall were very happy. There was really nothing to talk about in the small court meeting held every three days. The small court meeting in the Northern Kingdom was not like the Great Xia court. When the Great Xia court held court every day, the ministers would criticize each other.

In the small court meeting in the Northern Kingdom, there was basically no fighting between ministers. The officials knew that Lu Chen was a more pragmatic person and he couldn't stand the officials talking nonsense.

Not talking nonsense in the small court meeting meant that most of the small court meetings actually had nothing to discuss. The small court meeting held every three days was indeed too frequent. It would be just right to change it to seven days.

If something particularly important happened, they could just go directly to the study of the Northern King's Mansion to find the Northern King.

Seeing that no one in the hall objected, Lu Chen got up from the throne, waved his sleeves and said, "Well, that's it for today's small court meeting. "

Then Lu Chen left the Council Hall.

After the small court meeting, Lu Chen did not do nothing. He also had to deal with government affairs. He went directly to his study.

As soon as he arrived at the study, Qin Yushan followed him.

"Your Highness, the head of the Chu family asked me to give you this letter of divorce."

After hearing Qin Yushan's words, Lu Chen glanced at the letter of divorce in Qin Yushan's hand, then took it and took a rough look.

The content of the letter of divorce was very simple. It mainly said that the Wang family had become a traitor, so the Chu family of the Northern Kingdom had to sever all ties with the Wang family, and the marriage between Chu Yuqin and Wang Han was also annulled.

With this letter of divorce, Chu Yuqin was nominally free.

Lu Chen smiled, and then said: "Give this letter of divorce to Dongfang Longyue, and let her put the content of the letter of divorce on the headlines of tomorrow's newspaper."

Qin Yushan took back the letter of divorce, "Yes, Your Highness, I will go now."

"I'm leaving. "

Looking at Qin Yushan's back as he left, Lu Chen thought to himself that it was time to marry Chu Yuqin.

At first, Lu Chen just wanted to possess Chu Yuqin's body, but as Lu Chen had more and more women, Lu Chen's energy was dispersed a lot. He no longer had such strong thoughts about Chu Yuqin's body as before, which made him calm down a little. In addition to wanting Chu Yuqin's body, he also wanted to give Chu Yuqin a name so that she could give him children openly in the future, and the two of them would not have to be sneaky.

...

The next day.

Early in the morning.

Chu Yuqin got up from the bed and stretched her charming body. At this time, an impatient voice came from the door.

"Sister, there is good news!"

Before Chu Yuqin could react, the door was pushed open, and Chu Qingli was holding a huge piece of paper in her hand. The whole person looked very excited.

Chu Yuqin asked curiously: "What good news makes you so happy?"

Chu Qingli said: "Sister, when I went out this morning, I bought a newspaper on the street and found that the newspaper actually published the Chu family's withdrawal of engagement! "

Hearing this, Chu Yuqin was slightly stunned.

Breakage letter?

What breakage letter?

Chu Yuqin was about to ask Chu Qingli what was going on, when Chu Qingli came to Chu Yuqin with a newspaper and opened the newspaper.

Chu Yuqin then glanced at the contents of the newspaper and found that the first article on the newspaper was the breakage letter from the Chu family of the Northern Kingdom.

After briefly reading the contents of the annulment letter, Chu Yuqin froze on the spot and did not come back to her senses for a long time.

She was not a fool, and she had already guessed who asked Oriental Newspaper to publish the annulment letter. It was obviously not the Chu family, but Lu Chen.

Lu Chen used this divorce letter to directly return her freedom. From now on, she would no longer be the wife of the Wang family.

But having said that, will ordinary people agree with this divorce agreement?

After all, she is the woman. Since ancient times, the man has been dissatisfied with the bride and then broke off the engagement. I have never seen the woman break off the engagement. Moreover, this is a public break-up, not a private break-up.

Seeing Chu Yuqin reading the newspaper in a daze, Chu Qingli continued: "Sister, you will be free from now on. You are no longer the wife of the Wang family!"

Hearing Chu Qingli's words, Chu Yuqin sighed slightly, and then said: "Qingli, this matter is not that simple. Although the Chu family has publicly divorced, the common people may not necessarily agree with the divorce letter. Maybe In the eyes of ordinary people, I am still the wife of the Wang family."

Chu Qingli immediately said: "Sister, don't worry, I just heard someone discussing on the street. People said that the Wang family rebelled and was treasonous. The Chu family should have severed ties with the Wang family long ago.

"In the eyes of the common people, you are just a miserable woman, and they will accept this divorce letter."

Hearing Chu Qingli's words, Chu Yuqin's inner emotions also had a ripple. If it was true as Chu Qingli said, then she would no longer be the daughter-in-law of the Wang family and could marry directly to the North Prince's Mansion.

At this time, Chu Yuqin thought of what Lu Chen said to her some time ago. Lu Chen said that he would marry her into the palace openly and openly. From now on, their relationship would no longer be secretive, and they would no longer have to be afraid of rumors.

When she thought of this, Chu Yuqin felt very warm in her heart.

Seeing that Chu Yuqin was silent again and seemed to be thinking about something, Chu Qingli asked doubtfully: "Sister, you are free again, aren't you happy?"

Although Chu Yuqin was not actually married to Wang Han, she had always been the wife of the Wang family. In the eyes of others, she was just a widow.

Now that her identity has been removed, Chu Yuqin will be free from now on, and can marry whomever she wants to pursue her own happiness. Chu Qingli doesn't understand why Chu Yuqin still looks a little unhappy. .

Chu Yuqin looked into Chu Qingli's eyes and asked, "Qingli, do you think the Chu family asked Oriental Newspaper to publish this divorce letter?"

Chu Qingli said without thinking, "Of course it is. Doesn't the end of the engagement letter include the name of the family head?"

Chu Yuqin smiled slightly and said nothing.

Seeing Chu Yuqin's smile, Chu Qingli's heart skipped a beat, and she reacted instantly.

If Chu Yuqin regains her freedom and is no longer the wife of the Wang family, doesn't it mean that a man can possess her body openly.

As for which man it is, no need to think about it?

Isn't it just some animal from Beiwang Mansion?

Thinking about it this way, there was a high probability that the bastard asked Oriental Newspaper to publish this divorce cancellation letter. As for the purpose, it was already obvious, which was to occupy Chu Yuqin.

Thinking of this, Chu Qingli said: "Sister, you don't mean to say that King Bei asked Dongfang Newspaper to publish this letter of annulment, right?"

Chu Yuqin still didn't speak. Seeing that Chu Yuqin acquiesced, Chu Qingli said angrily: "If that bastard dares to attract my sister's attention, I will fight with him!"

"Don't worry, sister, I will definitely find a way to rescue you!"

After hearing what Chu Qingli said, Chu Yuqin asked lightly: "Qingli, tell me honestly, are you doing it for your sister one at a time, is it because you want to occupy Chen'er all by yourself?"

Chu Qingli was stunned for a moment, and suddenly panicked in her heart. Ever since Chu Yuqin discovered what happened between her and Lu Chen, Chu Qingli had been worried that Chu Yuqin would have such thoughts.

Chu Qingli said quickly: "I didn't. My sister did all this to let you, sister, be free."

Chu Yuqin said coldly: "For my freedom, what you say sounds nice."

"After you climbed into Chen'er's bed, I'm afraid you even forgot your own name. You can still think of your sister. Do you think your sister is a fool?"

"I..." Chu Qingli hesitated, not knowing how to explain.

Then Chu Qingli gritted her teeth and simply told her about the deal between Lu Chen and her, "Sister, I really wanted to save you from the palace at the beginning. I made an agreement with King Bei that as long as I serve him a hundred times, He just let you leave Beiwang Mansion, but I didn’t expect that he would actually break his promise. The number of times I served him..."

Before Chu Qingli finished speaking, she was interrupted by Chu Yuqin, "What? You and Chen'er secretly did that thing more than a hundred times behind my back?"

"It's been more than a hundred times, and you still tell me that you are doing it for me, my sister?"

"Qingli, do you believe this kind of lie?"

"I..." Chu Qingli was stunned again.

She had only been in Beiwang Mansion for more than a year, and she had already done business with Lu Chen a hundred times. Lu Chen had not even entered the rooms of some of his wives and concubines a hundred times.

At this time, Chu Qingli also felt that what she said seemed like a lie, but that was indeed what she had agreed with Lu Chen.

Chu Qingli had a feeling at this time, a feeling of being tricked by Lu Chen.

Chu Qingli cursed in her heart that this damn bastard was actually planning it from the beginning!

In the past, she thought that a hundred transactions would be over in three months. When the transaction was over, her sister would be free, and then she would leave the North Palace.

Thinking about it now, things couldn't have been that easy. She couldn't live without Lu Chen now. No matter how much she called Lu Chen a bastard, if she didn't do business with Lu Chen in a few days, she would still be able to think about Lu Chen involuntarily at night. Chen.

Not only was she inseparable from Lu Chen, but now that she told her about the transaction, her sister didn't believe it because she had done so many transactions. Instead, her sister thought that she was shameless and greedy for pleasure.

Seeing that Chu Qingli fell silent and did not speak, Chu Yuqin asked: "Qingli, tell me, what are your plans?"

Chu Qingli blushed and replied, "I don't know."

Chu Yuqin asked: "Didn't Chen'er say that she wanted to take you as my concubine?"

Chu Qingli wanted to say angrily, "Who wants to marry that bastard?", but she swallowed the words as soon as they reached her lips.

Now, no matter how much she denies it, in her sister's eyes, she is telling the truth. After all, her sister personally caught up on her affair with Lu Chen. Not only was she caught, but her sister also listened in the yard all night, which made her a little bit nervous. There is no room for quibbles.

If she wanted to say that she didn't like Lu Chen, her sister would definitely say that she didn't like it and made such a sound, and she did the same thing secretly a hundred times.

Chu Qingli felt that even if she jumped into the sea on the east side of the North Country, she would not be able to clean herself. She had to get married now even if she didn't want to.

Chu Qingli was silent for a long time and said, "Sister, it's my business to marry Lu Chen, but you have your own happiness. This man..."

Before Chu Qingli could say anything, she was interrupted again by Chu Yuqin, "Qingli, do you want to say that Chen'er is despicable and shameless, and his methods are dirty and dirty."

"Humph, at this point, you still want to stop me from serving Chen'er?"

Chu Qingli didn't know what to say. She felt that nothing she said was useless. Finally, she took a deep breath and said: "Sister, from now on, I will no longer care about your affairs with him. You can do whatever you want." Like it.”

Hearing Chu Qingli's words, Chu Yuqin felt happy and finally let Chu Qingli relax.

At this time, Chu Qingli thought in her heart that she could not stop Lu Chen from occupying her sister anyway, so she might as well stay in the North Palace and keep an eye on them from now on. If one day Lu Chen failed her sister, she would definitely take her place. His sister's revenge made Lu Chen regret what he had done.

…

at the same time.

Yancheng, in a private room of a certain restaurant.

A dozen men wearing bamboo hats were drinking. At this time, a man in gray cloth entered the private room and whispered to the man sitting at the window: "Commander, she has been staying in Beiwang Mansion these days and basically hasn't gone out, and Zhuge Chongguang lives next to Beiwang Mansion, if we take action, Zhuge Chongguang will definitely be alarmed. "

Zhuge Zhongguang is as powerful as a Grand Master, and he is also a Grand Master who is about to break through to the Heavenly Realm. He is obviously not that easy to deal with, which makes Wang Jiantao feel a little difficult to deal with.

Bai Qingqing has most likely betrayed Emperor Xia. Emperor Xia cannot tolerate betrayal. She must be dealt with. She is the deputy commander of the Shadow Guards. If she is still alive, how will she frighten the other Shadow Guards in the future.

Wang Jiantao asked at this time: "Has the Shadow Guard's letter been delivered to the palace again?"

The man in gray replied: "Sent it in, but she will most likely ignore it."

Wang Jiantao did not get rid of Yancheng's former shadow guards mainly because he could use those shadow guards to lure Bai Qingqing out. However, they used Yancheng's former shadow guards to pass on some information to Bai Qingqing in the past few days. In the end, Bai Qingqing was not attracted.

Wang Jiantao said at this time: "It seems that she has noticed that His Majesty is purging traitors. We have to find another way to lure her out."

…

At this moment.

Northland.

On the broad grassland, horns sounded.

A group of barbarian cavalry wearing animal skins is rapidly advancing eastward. The number of this barbarian cavalry is very large. At a glance, the end of this cavalry team can hardly be seen.

A man wearing black and gold metal armor, carrying a huge ax, looked to the east.

After a while, their spies came back.

The spies immediately dismounted, saluted the man and said, "Your Majesty, the tribe of the Heavenly Wolf King and the North Xian King tribe have been destroyed by the Northern Kingdom. According to the information we gathered, the Northern Territory has been incorporated into the Northern Kingdom by the Northern King of Daxia."

After hearing this, the man immediately said: "These two tribes really disgraced our barbarians. When I asked them to surrender to me, they were unwilling, but they were destroyed by a group of two-legged sheep! Ridiculous! How ridiculous!" "

At this time, the confidant next to the man said: "Your Majesty, should we directly occupy the North, or should we go south and attack the North?"

King Tianqi smiled and said: "What good things can be found in the North? What should we do in the North? If we want to go to the North, we should go to the North!"

"Being able to destroy the two tribes of King Tianlang and King Beixian, the Northern Kingdom of Daxia is quite powerful. I want to go and see what is so special about this Northern Kingdom!"

Another confidant next to him reminded at this time: "The envoy of God asked us to occupy the Northland first and not to act rashly for the time being. If she knows that we are running to attack Daxia, I am afraid she will be unhappy."

Hearing the reminder from his confidant, King Tianqi's face darkened instantly. When he thought of that beautiful woman, King Tianqi's heart was extremely hot, but he was no match for that woman and suffered a lot at her hands.

King Tianqi snorted coldly and said, "Is she your king, or am I your king?"

Seeing that King Tianqi was angry, the confidant generals behind him did not say anything more.

Everyone knew that King Tianqi was defeated in the attack on Dayue and was very unhappy. Now he urgently needed to find a force to vent his anger.
