I looked at Murong Hang, and I couldn't help but think of the abbot's death, and my eyes couldn't help but turn cold.

Although the abbot was killed alive by the Taiping Guanguan, it was Murong Hang who launched a raid on Biyun Temple, and the abbot was not dead at that time, so I would let him go, if I knew that the abbot would die, maybe Murong Hang would be dead.

When I looked at Murong Hang, his gaze was also sweeping towards me, and his eyes were neutral.

His eyes are fierce, but he is still crying, and he is still acting.

I now speculate that Emperor Zhengming's death was related to him, but I have no evidence, so I can only launch an investigation and find out later.

Murong Hang immediately turned his head away, crying loudly, and seemed to be extremely sad.

But I know that he has been laughing in his heart, because Emperor Zhengming's will says that he Murong Hang, and then he can inherit the throne by will.

But I can't allow that to happen, I have to find a way to change!

……

After the members of the Imperial Family mourned, a clan meeting was held, which was also attended by the first assistant and cabinet ministers.

This meeting was mainly to discuss the funeral of Emperor Zhengming, who was still nominally the head of state, so there was no suspense that Emperor Zhengming's funeral would be carried out at the highest level, that is, a state funeral, and its expenses would be borne by the state treasury.

After the meeting, the official officially announced the death of Emperor Zhengming through television, radio, Internet and other media, and at the same time, the national flag of the whole country was lowered to half-mast, and the whole country mourned for Emperor Zhengming.

The news of Emperor Zhengming's death spread throughout the country in just a few hours, and everyone in Dayan knew the news of Emperor Zhengming's death.

However, now the status of the royal family is not as good as before, the impact is not so great, and most people are still living a normal life.

On this day, too, I was very busy with almost no rest, my hands and feet were weak, and I ran around the palace almost without stopping.

During this period, Shi Zhao called me and asked me how I was doing in the palace and whether I had been troubled, and I told Shi Zhao that there was no situation for the time being.

In the evening, the members of the imperial family and the first assistant held a family meeting, which was not about the funeral, but about the heir to the throne.

Since I am the commander of the Kamui Battalion and am in charge of the security work, I can also enter the meeting site.

The meeting was co-chaired by the Empress and Shousuke.

After all the members of the royal family arrived, Shousuke cleared his throat and spoke on behalf of the queen, and he first said with a very sad look: "I am also very sad about the death of the saint. However, the country cannot be without a king for a day, and the throne must be inherited immediately, representing our entire Dayan, so the purpose of inviting everyone here tonight is to discuss this issue. ”

Hearing Shoufu's words, the princes at the scene all showed excited expressions, and the second prince Murong Hang's eyes showed a touch of joy, and then quickly disappeared, he also had a sad posture, and then nodded and said: "The death of my father is the misfortune of Dayan, and we are all very sad, but I also think that Shoufu's words are right, and the top priority now is to decide who will inherit the throne." After speaking, he paused and continued: "My father left an edict before his death, which indicated the heir to the throne, we can go and take out the edict and do it according to the edict." ”

Hearing Murong Hang's words, the eldest prince, the third prince, and the fourth prince all showed nervous expressions, and the rumors received in advance showed that the candidate indicated on the edict left by Emperor Zhengming before his death was the second prince.

This is also the reason why the second prince took the initiative to do it according to the edict, if the person on the edict was not him, he was afraid that he would obstruct it in many ways.

Emperor Zhengming died, and the five princes had returned to the palace to mourn, but he didn't seem to have much interest in the throne, so he didn't seem so conspicuous.

The third prince thought for a while and said, "Why haven't I heard about the edict?" Second brother, how did you know? Is the edict true or false? ”

Listening to the tone of the third prince, it was obvious that he wanted not to recognize the legitimacy of the edict.

The eldest prince knew about the edict, but when he heard the words of the third prince, he also echoed: "Yes, second brother, I haven't heard of the edict either, what's going on with this edict?" ”

The eldest prince, like the third prince, wanted to overturn the will.

But Murong Hang definitely didn't want the throne in his hands to fail, and after hearing the words of the two, he sneered: "Big brother, third brother, the will is not what I said, Shoufu should know, if you don't believe it, you can ask Shoufu." ”

Shoufu heard Murong Hang's words and muttered: "There is indeed a will, and I was also present when the Holy Lord made the will. ”

When the third prince and the eldest prince heard that Shoufu helped Murong Hang confirm, they were all in their hearts, and they had nothing to refute.

However, Murong Qi's eyes then bloomed with a fierce light, although he did not refute again, it did not mean that he would admit defeat, so it is possible, he has already made up his mind, once the will is announced, if he cannot succeed to the throne, it is not impossible to launch a mutiny.

But the eldest prince looked at me and exchanged glances with me.

I wanted to find an opportunity to discuss countermeasures with the eldest prince today, but there are too many things today, and I haven't been able to separate, so I haven't communicated with the eldest prince yet.

I don't have a very good idea, if I want to prevent Murong Hang from ascending to the throne, the only possibility is to prove that Emperor Zhengming's death is related to Murong Hang, in this case, Murong Hang will not only not be able to inherit the throne, but will also be sentenced.

But if Murong Hang really did such a rebellious thing, he would definitely be very secretive, how easy would it be to find out?

But I still have time, even if it is decided today, Murong Hang will inherit the throne, and the official enthronement ceremony will still be after Emperor Zhengming's funeral, so there is at least one month left to do things.

As the commander of my Shenwei Battalion, if I want to carry out an investigation, it is still very possible to obtain some clues.

When Prince Rui heard Shoufu's words, he nodded and said, "Since there is an edict, it is best to follow the edict." ”

The queen said, "Then so be it, please take out the edict for us, read it in public, and let's go to the imperial study together." ”

Hearing the queen's words, Murong Hang couldn't help but show a smug smile on his face, and then quickly retreated.

He then stood up and said solemnly, "Before going to the imperial study, I still have a question in my heart, I want to ask Commander Mo!" ”

After saying that, he looked at me steeply.

His gaze was sharp, as aggressive as a knife.

I realized that Murong Hang was planning to target me, and although I had prepared for it, I still couldn't help but feel a shock in my heart.

But I am also a person who has experienced strong winds and waves, although I am a little panicked in my heart, my face is calm and calm, and I say: "If the second prince has anything to say, just ask, I know everything and say everything." ”

Murong Hang sneered and said, "The first question I want to ask Commander Mo is, what is the primary duty of the Commander of the Shenwei Battalion?" ”

Hearing Murong Hang's words, there was a commotion at the scene, and the royal family members exchanged heads and ears.

The eldest prince looked at me, his brows furrowed, obviously he also understood the intentions of the second prince Murong Hang.

I'm a little empty in my heart, although I didn't ask for leave to go anywhere, but Emperor Zhengming died, and I, as the commander of the Shenwei Battalion, was not in the palace, strictly speaking, I was still derelict in my duty. With a silent face, he said, "The commander of the Shenwei Battalion is responsible for defending the Imperial City and protecting the Holy Lord. ”

Murong Hang sneered: "Then may I ask, where was Your Excellency when the Holy Lord died?" After speaking, without waiting for me to reply, he looked around and said loudly: "Today I know the news of my father's death, and I rushed to the palace as soon as possible, but I heard that the commander of the Shenwei Battalion was not at his post, and I didn't know where to go. Is such a person still qualified to continue to serve as the commander of the Kamui Battalion? ”

The more he spoke, the more he spoke, the more he spoke, and the last two rhetorical questions were full of aggressiveness and aura.

The royal family members at the scene heard Murong Hang's words and discussed one after another, and his words caused a huge repercussion, and the position of the commander of my Shenwei Battalion was facing a huge threat.
