章 1099: The Return of an Old Friend (7)

Not long after, Xie Jingxing's letter came.

In the letter, he talked about the situation in Ming Qi.

Emperor Wen Hui fell seriously ill and died, and the ninth prince, Fu Xiuyi, ascended the throne. As soon as Fu Xiuyi ascended the throne, he was on good terms with the emperor of the State of Qin. The two countries launched an attack on the now declining Daliang Dynasty together. The other princes of Ming Qi, including Prince Zhou and Prince Jing, were all locked up in the prison. Fu Xiuyi had never been merciful to his family.

The Shen family and the Luo family joined forces with the other old families that had been suppressed by Emperor Wen Hui and openly rebelled. They were labeled as "outlaws" in Ming Qi, but the commoners did not seem to buy it. The Shen family had existed for many years with a good reputation and was not so easily defamed.
