The princes all knelt in the mourning hall to guard their spirits, and the affairs of the court were still handled in an orderly manner, and officials from all over the country were staring at the Jingshi for fear of any changes. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xue Dongwei no longer expressed his opinion on the matter of the prince, he only dealt with the major affairs of the DPRK and China with Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province every day, and went to guard the spirit of the emperor when he was free.

Officials from all over the country were shocked to see that all the recitals were approved and distributed on time.

Today's Datang can operate in an orderly manner without even an emperor. They don't know whether they like it or are sad about it, is this saying that the absence of Datang now will not affect the development of Datang, nor will it affect the people's livelihood.

Li Qian is a Mingjun, but what will such a Tang Dynasty become in the future?

It was difficult for the court to decide who would ascend the throne for a while, and the Empress Dowager Xuanxue Dongwei entered the palace to talk secretly, wanting him to support the eighth prince.

Xue Dongwei directly refused, and said to the eunuch who passed the decree: "Now that Your Majesty has not been mourned, it is difficult for foreign ministers to enter and leave the inner court. Since everyone has different opinions on the matter of Lichu, they can only wait for Princess Huanji to enter Beijing and listen to her decision. ”

The reason why Empress Dowager Zeng was anxious was that she didn't want Princess Huanji to interfere in the matter of establishing the prince. Since the death of the first Taizu, Princess Huanji has been in charge of the court, but she is far away from the Jingshi, and her hands are still stretched out.

In the past few years, she has finally set her sights on diplomacy, and she doesn't want Princess Huanji to re-meddle in the affairs of the court and the palace.

If Princess Huanji interjects the matter of the prince, how can she, the queen mother, listen to the government. Although she didn't have the courage of Emperor Wu to set up her own dynasty, she also wanted to leave her name in history, not just a surname or title.

These days, some officials are running around trying to take a stand as soon as possible; Some officials are afraid of standing on the wrong team, and in addition to handling government affairs, they basically hide at home without leaving home; Some also complained of illness and waited for the new emperor to ascend the throne.

The court has gone from arguing about the establishment of the prince in the past, to arguing about who will help the soul to be buried, and now it is back to the matter of establishing the prince. If there are those who recommend the second prince or the eighth prince, there are those who recommend the third prince and the fourth prince. Which family's mother family doesn't want their own children and nephews to be emperors.

Xue Dongwei entered the court as an official at the age of 25, entered the cabinet at the age of 35, and became the youngest prime minister at the age of 40, in charge of some affairs in Shangshu Province.

Now that Xue Dongwei is pressing in the court, as long as he doesn't let go, there will be no judgment on the matter of Lichu. But the emperor can't always be buried, his anxious mouth is foaming.

Xue Yu, the ninety-year-old prime minister, is now in Beijing for the elderly, and after learning that His Majesty died of illness, he personally went to the palace to kowtow to His Majesty for a ride.

As the saying goes, the country can't be without a monarch for a day, and the Queen Mother originally planned to drag it out, and when no one to deal with the political affairs of the DPRK and China, she naturally had to hurry up and establish a prince. But her calculation was unexpectedly unsuccessful, but it was better this way, that is, the ministers of the DPRK and China would not talk about her son's age.

Although the other older princes were all dressed in linen and filial piety in the palace, the staff in the palace were so busy that their eyes were red.

Someone couldn't sink it, so he proposed to find out what Wang Zhuran meant, after all, the 1.2 million troops of the Tang Army were in the hands of Wang Zhuran alone.

Some people proposed to use the benefits to persuade Li Zhuqing, although Wang Zhuran held an army of 1.2 million, but in addition to the grain they planted, the rest of their military salaries were supported by Qingzhou. Speaking of which, everyone is wondering how rich Qingzhou really is.

The granaries of Qingzhou and the affiliated states of Qingzhou are full of grain, and even the granaries of the people's homes are full. As long as there is no war at the border gates, these reserve grains are enough for the people of Qingzhou to eat for five generations.

In the end, someone asked Li Chuqing, the Marquis of Qingzhou, to speak, and Li Chuqing said that no matter who became the emperor, Qingzhou was an inseparable part of the Tang Dynasty. As for the choice of the new emperor, he listened to Princess Huanji's meaning.

Wang Zhuran's words were consistent with Li Chuqing's statement, Wang Zhuran said that no matter who becomes the emperor in the future, the Tang army is the million-strong master of the Tang Dynasty, as for who to appoint as the prince, everything is up to Princess Huanji to make an idea. However, the DPRK and China can rest assured that with the Tang army, there will be no external trouble in the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang Army continued to conduct training and exercises, but the training and exercises were successively moved from the garrison to the border passes, as if the affairs of the DPRK and China really had nothing to do with them.

When the countries surrounding Datang heard that His Majesty Datang had died, they had not yet established a prince, and their minds began to come alive.

Those who have ambitions directly transferred troops to the border, and those who have no ambition are also thinking about whether they can drink soup if there is civil strife in Datang and the border is in an emergency, and if others take advantage of the chaos to attack the border of Datang.

Who knew that the news of martial law and the increase of troops of the Tang Army came from the border pass.

Some of the monarchs of the surrounding countries were terrified, "What do they mean by this, they won't send troops at this juncture, right?" ”

Some gritted their teeth and said: "Those people don't go to stand in line, don't go to the new emperor, come to the border to 'act' what?" What else is 'acting', have you inquired clearly?

Princess Huanji had just negotiated the trade between the American and British empires and the Tang Dynasty at the moment, and she didn't know about Li Qian's death.

The night before yesterday, Wang Yuyang saw the broom in the air streak across the stars, grabbed a handful of leaves and opened a hexagram directly.

Huan Ji clasped her hands into fists and made a wish, "I hope that my youngest son Li Izuqing will find his sweetheart as soon as possible." ’

Wang Zhuran and Li Zhuqing are already twenty-three this year, Wang Zhuran is eighteen years old, and Huo Mingzhu has been married to Princess Huanji Mansion for three months.

Now that the eldest son is four years old and the younger son is two years old, Li Chuqing is still a single person, and as a mother, she can't help but be anxious.

Wang Yuyang couldn't bear to disturb his wife's good mood, so he didn't even say a word. It was only after the contract was signed that they suggested that they should go back to the lobby.

Although Huan Ji felt that there were still many places to go, but the contract was in hand and the goal was achieved, it was time for them to return to Datang.

It's been more than two years since they've been out, and she hasn't seen her little grandson yet.

The sail with the Tang flag was raised, followed by the sail with the word 'Li'.

Huan Ji and the others have returned.

The movements of the court of the Tang Dynasty are unknown, and the surrounding countries are also paying close attention to the movements of the Jingshi, who is on the throne has a direct relationship with them, if a person who likes to fight becomes the emperor, wouldn't they also have to fight.

The controversy in the court shifted from the matter of the canonization of the prince to Li Qian's funeral. The emperor's funeral was presided over by the crown prince, although the Tang Dynasty was a little chaotic from the selection of the prince of Empress Wu, but the person who presided over the funeral is still the top priority, and some people even said: "Whoever presides over the funeral, who is the new emperor." ”

The court officials began to argue again, and the second prince, who had been holding back, privately passed the staff into the palace. (To be continued.) )
