Chapter 173: The Way Home Is Not Smooth

The fat rabbit on the fire had become charred and blackened, and it was impossible to eat at all. The three of them gasped for breath www.biquge.info pen "Fun" and didn't want to move half a minute again.

"It seems that the news spreads very quickly, these killers are well-trained, and the weapons they use are also very strange, I'm afraid that Yuan Hongyi and they have made a lot of money."

Qin Guan's previously wrapped wound oozed a lot of blood at this time, and as he spoke, he tore off a strip of cloth from the hem of his robe.

"Let's leave as soon as dawn, something must have happened in the palace, my aunt is afraid that she is no longer in the palace, otherwise Yuan Hongyi and they will not dare to send a killer to assassinate him so blatantly."

The heavy clouds finally cracked a crack, and a trace of clear moonlight could be faintly seen coming through, Yuan Hongxuan leaned against the trunk of the tree, his eyes drooping slightly.

Earlier, when he was on the return carriage, he asked several Dongyuan envoys who came back with him, knowing that although his aunt had signaled that he had gone to Beixin to pick him up and return to China, he had privately obtained the approval of many courtiers.

But these people were attacked by the black-clothed killer before they could resist for a long time, and even Qin Guan was injured, and there were no more people who came to support him halfway, something big must have happened in this palace.

Yuan Hongxuan only closed his eyes, and didn't think about those trivial matters anymore, he knew that by tomorrow, all his doubts would be solved.

The next day, the news of Emperor Yuanyi's death shocked the government and the opposition, and the queen mother, hearing that she was too sad, fell ill overnight, and all the ministers in the Jinluan Palace frowned and paced, so they were not in a hurry, and they seemed to be about to lift the roof.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived." The eunuch's sharp and clear voice came, Yuan Hongyi, who was dressed in a bright yellow prince suit, was covered with a linen filial piety robe, with a white belt tied on his head, his face was dark, and his sadness was overflowing.

"What a noise!" He strode in, displeasure in his voice.

No matter how similar you are, you can't hide your wolf ambition.

More than half of the courtiers standing in the hall couldn't help but discuss, they clearly knew that this so-called prince was just pretending, and if there was anyone in this palace who was happy about the death of the emperor, His Royal Highness the prince was the first one.

"My father is old and frail, and he has been suffering from strange poisons, and he drove to the west last night." When Yuan Hongyi said this, he seemed to be choked up and couldn't say any more, he took a long breath, and said again: "It's not dawn today, and the prince has already ordered Qin Tianjian to pick a date, and seven days later will be the day of his father's burial." ”

Everyone heard an uproar, and the emperor has always had to spend seven days of worship in a French manner, and the latter was buried. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will bury the emperor in such a hurry, and his thoughts are clear.

Sure enough, Yuan Hongyi's next words were the right topic, "The so-called country can't be without a king for a day, my father is just gone, and the court will be messed up by you." So after discussing with my mother, I decided that the crown prince would take over the affairs of the court the day after tomorrow, and wait until my father was properly buried before enthronement. ”

As soon as these words came out, some people immediately stood up against it, "His Royal Highness the Prince, the old minister thinks it is impossible. Let's talk about this funeral, the coffin of the former emperor will be buried in seven days, which is indeed inappropriate, and then talk about the fact that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in charge of the government, the former emperor died suddenly, and there are many trivial matters before and after, although the succession is important, but it cannot be rushed for a while. Now that the eldest princess has returned from the 'Meditation Nunnery', and has been accompanying the emperor before. Therefore, the minister thought that it was better to wait for the eldest princess to come back, see if the emperor had an explanation, and then make a decision after discussion. ”

"Yes, yes, His Royal Highness the Prince, what Lord You said is yes! Let's wait for the eldest princess to come back and discuss it! ”

"yes......."

Half of the courtiers all came out to echo the Tao, and the rest were basically in a wait-and-see state, and only a few supported him to preside over the government as soon as possible, but as soon as those few voices came out, they were instantly drowned.

Yuan Hongyi's back stiffened, his angry eyes looked at the faces of the courtiers, his silver teeth were clenched, and his face was pale, he knew that there would be opposition, but he didn't expect that there would be so many.

Are these people all supporting Yuan Hongxuan?

That Yuan Hongxuan, even more damned!

Did you say you would wait for the eldest princess to come back and discuss? That's good, then he'll let the eldest princess never come back.

You want the situation of the Eastern Yuan Dynasty to be stable, but he doesn't, he wants to make this court a big change!

Yuan Hongyi smiled sadly, his evil eyes looked down at everyone in the hall like ants, flicked his sleeves, and walked out without looking back.

In the end, Yuan Hongyi's takeover of the court was shelved, but the funeral of the former emperor Yuanyi was still held on the day previously scheduled. The courtiers asked the queen for changes, but all of them were lost and there was no news.

In the dense woods, you can hear the birdsong from the branches everywhere, and it is easy to know the way during the day, and after a while, the carriage of Yuan Hongxuan and the three of them went on the country road, and they no longer have to drill blindly in the bushes without a head or brain.

Last night's black-clothed man was obviously coming for Yuan Hongxuan, even if he broke up with those envoys, he didn't have to worry about any danger to them, so he didn't look around, and the three of them only found a way back to Twilight City.

After a night of running wildly, although they didn't go in the direction of Twilight City, they were about the same. After walking for a while, a slightly larger and bustling village comes into view.

On a huge earthen wall at the entrance of the village, it was the notice that had just been posted, and the old emperor, who had been weak and sick, died yesterday, and asked them to wear linen and filial piety together to mourn for seven days.

The common people gathered together, pointing at the notice one by one, the emperor will die, and let them suffer with them, why when the court allocates silver and distributes food, they can't catch it at all!

Complaining and complaining, the crowd gathered still dispersed, and the three people who had parked the carriage came over to take a look.

"Your Highness, as you said, there is such a big thing in the palace." Qin Guan put on the new coat he had just bought, and said while holding his injured left arm.

Yuan Hongxuan's eyes narrowed slightly, his eyes paused for a while on those lines, and said in a deep voice: "Fortunately, the announcement did not mention the succession, which shows that those old stubborns are still quite dissatisfied with Yuan Hongyi." ”

He looked away and pointed to a stall, and the seven rays behind him walked past him.

The three of them bought some roast chicken and pancakes and went on the road, they have a special identity, so they should not stay in a crowded place for a long time, lest the 'Liuxiangmen' send killers to come again, and it will not harm the innocent.

Now Yuan Hongxuan only looks at his aunt Yuan Yuxin and doesn't have anything wrong, as long as she is there, even if he doesn't return well at the moment, he can still return to the palace justifiably, if she is also defeated, then there is little hope for him to return to the palace.
