Chapter 250 The Chu family’s divorce letter

Seeing that most of the officials in the hall suggested shutting down the newspaper, Lu Chen showed a smile. He was about to say something when Zhuge Chongguang spoke first and said: "As far as I know, there are currently companies that have the ability to print paper books and paper manuscripts on a large scale. , only Beiwangfu.

Zhuge Chongguang didn't say this to Lu Chen, but to remind those officials in the hall who wanted to ban the newspaper. Without King Bei's nod, it would have been impossible for the newspaper to be opened.

After hearing what Zhuge Chongguang said, the officials reacted instantly. Li Rui said at this time: "Your Majesty, I believe that although there may be people with ulterior motives using newspapers to spread some unfavorable remarks about the North, as long as we supervise it properly, newspapers can also It has become an important tool for our internal or external publicity.”

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

Seeing how quickly Li Rui changed his face, Lu Chen laughed and said, "Master Li, your change of face is really not that fast."

Having said this, Lu Chen glanced at the other officials in the hall, and then continued: "The Dongfang family came to see me before establishing the newspaper. Their newspaper was founded with the permission of the Northern King. As for what you just mentioned I have already considered the disadvantages, but I believe that the advantages of establishing a newspaper outweigh the disadvantages."

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

Lu Chen continued: "In addition to creating an official newspaper, I also plan to establish a new Cultural Bureau. In the future, the review of books or newspapers and periodicals will be handed over to the Cultural Bureau."

Having said this, Lu Chen looked at Zhuge Chongguang and said, "Grand Bachelor, the establishment of the Cultural Bureau will trouble you."

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

Lu Chen then asked, "Is there anything else going on today?"

After Lu Chen finished speaking, the officials in the hall looked at me and I looked at you, but no one said anything.

Lu Chen said: "Since there is nothing wrong, I will say one more thing. From now on, the Umrah 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 North was not like the Great Xia court. When the Great Xia court went to court every day, the ministers They criticize each other for nothing.

At the Northern Small Court Meeting, there was basically no fighting between ministers. The officials knew very well that Lu Chen was a relatively pragmatic person and he couldn't stand hearing useless nonsense from officials.

Don’t talk nonsense in Umrah meetings, which means that most Umrah meetings actually have nothing to discuss at all. The three-day Umrah meeting is indeed too intensive, so it would be just right to change it to seven days.

If something particularly important happens, they can just go to the study room of Bei Wang Mansion to find Bei Wang.

Seeing that none of the officials in the hall objected, Lu Chen stood up from the throne, waved his sleeves and said, "Okay, that'll be it for today's small court meeting."

Then Lu Chen left the political hall.

After the small court meeting, Lu Chen did not do anything. He also had to deal with government affairs. He went directly to his study.

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

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

After hearing Qin Yushan's words, Lu Chen glanced at the annulment letter in Qin Yushan's hand, then took it and looked at it briefly.

The content of the annulment letter is very simple. It mainly states that the Wang family has become a traitor, so the Chu family of the Northern Kingdom will sever all relations with the Wang family, and the marriage between Chu Yuqin and Wang Han will be annulled.

With this divorce document, Chu Yuqin is nominally free.

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

Qin Yushan took back the engagement cancellation letter again, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will go now."

"My subordinates resign."

Looking at Qin Yushan's leaving figure, Lu Chen thought that it was time to marry Chu Yuqin.

At first, Lu Chen only wanted to possess Chu Yuqin's body, but as Lu Chen had more and more women, Lu Chen's energy was dispersed a lot, and he no longer had as 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 status so that she could bear children for him openly in the future, and the two of them didn't have to be secretive.

…

the next day.

early morning.

Chu Yuqin got up from the bed and stretched her graceful body. At this moment, 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 seen holding a huge piece of paper in her hand, looking 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 Chu family's divorce letter was published in the newspaper!"

Hearing this, Chu Yuqin was slightly stunned.

Letter of annulment?

What kind of annulment letter?

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

Chu Yuqin then glanced at the contents of the newspaper and found that the first article in the newspaper was the divorce 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. She had already guessed in her heart 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 a 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 some people 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 cancellation 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 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 mean 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 inside. 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 this was indeed what she had agreed with Lu Chen at the beginning.

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 sophistry.

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 in the east 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." Let’s do that.”

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 Beiwang Mansion 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, it is almost impossible to see the end of this cavalry team.

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 Northern 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 Northland, or should we go south and attack the Northland?"

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 felt extremely hot inside. However, he was no match for that woman and he would not be able to survive in that woman's hands. Lose less.

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 said nothing more.

Everyone knew in their hearts that King Tianqi suffered a defeat when he attacked Dayue and was very unhappy. Now he urgently needed to find a force to vent his anger on.
