Emperor Yan didn't survive this cold winter.

As soon as he dies, what will happen to the situation in Yan Kingdom, this is a matter of great concern to Xiao Rui. How safe Yan Linglong is, and what Yan Xifeng will do, it is not something that Xiao Rui, who is thousands of miles away, can dispatch at any time.

He immediately summoned Wang Dazhi and asked him to immediately send a message to the Spear Falcon, so that the secret agents placed in Kyoto of Yan Kingdom would always pay attention to the situation of Princess Zhenguo and pass on the news at any time.

At the same time, it was arranged for the military town stationed at the Xiayan border pass to be ready for battle. Since the Marquis of Zhenyuan was transferred to the fourteen prefectures of Anxi, only 20,000 people were stationed in the military towns at the border passes, and if something happened to Yan Linglong, this bit of soldiers and horses would not help, and it was necessary to assemble from the commanders of other states. And the distance is too far, and you have to cross the Yanjiang River, which is beyond the reach of the whip.

So Xiao Rui is very worried, and now he can only look at Yan Linglong's layout.

So what is the situation of the swallow at this time?

......

Before Emperor Yan died, he fell into a dying situation in the first half of the night, the situation was very bad, and the chief eunuch vaguely told the chief eunuch about the situation, and the chief eunuch did not dare to delay, and immediately sent someone to invite the prince, the princess of Zhenguo and the governors of the three provinces.

By the time the time the time was due, it was already the second half of the night.

Emperor Yan was very weak, his eyes were foggy, and when Yan Linglong, Yan Xifeng and the three important ministers entered the palace and knelt in front of the dragon bed to visit, he turned his head with difficulty, and he didn't even have the strength to speak.

In the end, he could only use his last strength to reluctantly raise his left hand and point to the brocade box on the desk, and then the raised hand fell with a bang, and there was no breath at all.

Emperor Yan is dead!

Yan Linglong knelt beside the bed and cried, and the three important ministers with the power of the prime minister also fell to the ground with a sad face.

Yan Xifeng's performance was beyond everyone's expectations.

He looked at Emperor Yan who had died on the bed in a daze, his eyes were red, and he roared: "Impossible, impossible!" How could it be dead! How could it be dead! This palace is going to kill you quacks! ”

Yan Xifeng, who was furious, actually stood up, directly snatched the saber worn by the forbidden army, and then slashed the chief of the imperial doctor.

Killing people, Yan Xifeng sat in the hall with a lost face.

He was grief-stricken because of the death of his father?

Definitely.

He is because Emperor Yan is dead, but he has not destroyed the country, let him see this throne that he has obtained by doing everything possible to destroy it in his hands, and let him become the king of the country!

Before his wish was fulfilled, why did man die?

Yan Linglong's eyes were red, she knew Yan Xifeng's true face, and naturally she also knew the reason why he was like this now. On the contrary, the three important ministers were very pleased, although the prince made some nonsense, but this filial piety is still visible to the sun and the moon, look at his depressed mood, this is from the heart, not a disguise.

At this time, outside the hall, the internal official was shouting: "Your Majesty has died!" ”

The voice came out of the dormitory, out of the palace, and announced to the world. At this time, the sky is just bright in the east, and the orange sun is bursting with brilliant colors.

At this time, Xu Xiao, the servant of the door, comforted: "His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Princess, Your Majesty pointed to the brocade box before his death, and the box must be a testament." Weichen suggested that a testament be issued, a new monarch should be established as soon as possible, and the situation in Yan State should be stabilized. ”

Zhongshu ordered Wei Song to say: "Yes, the country cannot be without a king for a day, or please issue an edict to establish a new monarch as soon as possible." ”

Yan Linglong nodded, then wiped her tears, looked at Yan Xifeng, and asked, "What does the prince think?" ”

Yan Xifeng woke up from his anger, nodded, and said, "Come according to the rules!" ”

Saying that, he actually got up and left, Wei Song and Xu Xiao wanted to stop them, but they were stopped by Yan Linglong, and let Yan Xifeng leave the dormitory and return to the palace.

At the back of the palace, there is a desolate courtyard, and there is a dry well in the courtyard, and no one usually rushes in here, only the prince can enter, so it is very deserted and overgrown with weeds.

He walked to the dry well, sat down on the edge of the dry well, pillowed his head on the dry well, and couldn't help but cry.

"Mother..."

"Mother..."

At this moment, Yan Xifeng is like a child who has been lost from his mother, helpless and pitiful.

Back then, Emperor Yan coveted the position of the crown prince, and in order to take the position of prince from the prince, he deliberately designed to let the prince violate the princess, and then personally took action to throw the princess into a dry well, pretending to commit suicide.

When the emperor learned of the prince's bad behavior, he was furious, cut off the prince's position, and imprisoned the Zongren Mansion.

Although Yan Xifeng was small back then, he witnessed all this with his own eyes, so he hated Emperor Yan, and in order to take revenge on Emperor Yan, he wanted to destroy the country with his own hands, make him the king of the fallen country, and let the throne that he had worked so hard to get collapse in his hands.

Behold... After all, I didn't wait for the revenge to be completed.

So Yan Xifeng is like losing his life goal and is at a loss. Nine-zero look

The poor will have something to hate, and just as the hateful will have suffered pitiful things.

As the news of Emperor Yan's death spread all over Yandu City, the people were screaming in mourning, mourning up and down, and families began to post white paper to show their condolences, and all the restaurants and green buildings on the street did not dare to open, and the people also wore plain clothes and stayed at home.

The bad people who inspected the streets were dressed in military uniforms, with a white mourning belt tied on their heads, and strictly inspected the state capital, and the new monarch was not established, and now no one dared to take it lightly.

At this time, in the palace, hundreds of civil and military officials had already gathered at the noon gate, and then entered the palace one after another, kneeling outside the palace, waiting for the edict to be read.

In the dormitory, the three important ministers and Yan Linglong came to the desk, and the chief eunuch personally opened the brocade box, which was indeed an edict, but surprisingly, there were two edicts!

Xu Xiao, the servant of the door, asked suspiciously: "Grandpa Sun, these two are the edicts left by His Majesty?" ”

The chief eunuch nodded, and said: "The above is an edict to announce the world, and the content is to select a new monarch. The following edict was left by His Majesty to Her Royal Highness Princess Pingyang of Zhenguo, and instructed the slaves and maids to publicize it in front of the three adults! ”

Yan Linglong didn't know the content of the edict, and Emperor Yan's death was also unexpected by her, and she was also very anxious at this time, not knowing how to carry out the follow-up plan. Qiye is too young, only two and a half years old, Yanxi Feng is still there, is it possible to directly push Qiye to the top?

"The retainers take the order!" Yan Linglong, who had returned to her senses, knelt down to accept the order.

The three old ministers also knelt down to receive the order.

Gonggong Sun took out the second edict and read: "Fengtian carries the emperor, Zhao said: Yan Linglong, the princess of Pingyang in Zhenguo, is cautious, expensive and thrifty, Yonghe is pure, Dunmu Jiaren, and 100,000 households in Shiyi, and the fiefs are Beijiang County, Beihai County, and Xu County. The 60,000 Yuqi army is its fiefdom private army, which is not subject to the dispatch of the imperial court, and can only be called when the new emperor ascends the throne. Chin this! ”

Yan Linglong was stunned, this turned out to be His Majesty's will to seal her, not only increased the number of food estates, reaching an astonishing 100,000 households, but also sealed the northernmost counties of Yan Country and the three counties bordering Great Xia as her fiefdoms. What's even more amazing is that the Feather Banner Army is a private army, and the Feather Flag Army is not only the city guard camp outside Yandu, but also the most important force to protect the safety of Yandu.

With fiefdoms and soldiers and horses, is this forcing Yan Linglong to usurp the throne?

The three important ministers looked at each other.

At this time, Sun Gong said fairly: "Your Royal Highness Princess, when Her Majesty the Emperor is dying, let the slave and maid tell His Highness that he will assist the emperor and grandson, he is the hope of the future of Yan Kingdom!" ”

Yan Linglong immediately understood that the reason why her father arranged these things was actually to prepare for the emperor and grandson, not to let Yan Linglong usurp the throne!

The three important ministers also immediately understood His Majesty's intentions, Yan Linglong wanted to usurp the throne and be the empress, it was not so easy, even if the Yuqi Army assigned her as a private army, it would be difficult for her to usurp the throne, and her name would not be right. And the last paragraph of the will can only be invoked when the new emperor ascends the throne, and this article alone puts an end to the possibility of Yan Linglong usurping the throne.

His Majesty rewarded these, the fundamental reason is to let her assist the emperor and grandson to grow up, Yan Changqing was praised by Emperor Yan as a good saint, which is the hope of the future of Yan Kingdom, and to ensure that the emperor and grandson can inherit the unification in the future, the power held by Yan Linglong is the greatest guarantee.

"The sons and daughters will definitely support the growth of the emperor and grandson, please rest assured!" Yan Linglong received the order to thank her.

Subsequently, Gonggong Sun took out the first holy decree and said: "Your Royal Highness the princess, three adults, this is the edict of the new monarch, and the civil and military officials have already entered the palace and waited." ”

Yan Linglong said: "Go and invite the prince, set up a new monarch as soon as possible, and stabilize the situation." ”

Then, everyone walked out of the dormitory.

The forbidden army also invited Yan Xifeng over, his eyes were red, and there was a blank emotion on his face, as if he had lost his goal in life.

Subsequently, the civil and military officials knelt down to listen to the decree, and the chief eunuch read out the edict, the content was very simple, the crown prince Yan Xifeng was appointed as the new monarch and inherited the unification!

Although Emperor Yan already knew that Yan Xifeng was doing nonsense, he could only make Yan Xifeng the crown prince and his son inherit his father's business, so it was impossible for him to skip Yan Xifeng and directly crown the emperor's grandson, Yan Changqing.

The decree was promulgated, and the ministers bowed to the new emperor.

Next, it is to select an auspicious day to hold the enthronement ceremony as soon as possible and establish the throne. Then the new emperor gave the title to the first emperor and the concubine of the harem, and offered sacrifices to heaven and earth, and officially welcomed the emperor's spiritual throne into the temple.

The emperor died and was buried, it is estimated that it is cumbersome, and it can't be done in ten days and half a month, and today is just the beginning.

After Yan Linglong returned to the princess's mansion, her heart was haggard, and she suddenly felt dizzy and dizzy, which frightened the people in the princess's mansion.

When Yan Linglong woke up, she saw her son lying on her stomach asleep, both eyes swollen from crying, and stained with tears.

Hua Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Your Highness, you have finally woken up!" ”

"What's wrong with me? What happened to Seven Nights? Yan Linglong felt groggy.

Hua Zheng explained: "You are overly sad, and your heart is emaciated and you are in a coma. When he saw you unconscious, he was so frightened that he cried, no matter how much he comforted him, he finally fell asleep next to you. ”

Yan Linglong nodded, looked at her son with pity, and couldn't help crying.

The mother died early, the father and the emperor also died, and there are really no relatives except for the son.

But she held back, because there was still a lot of work for her to do. The Qin Heavenly Eunuch and the Ministry of Rites had already chosen a few days, and the new emperor would ascend the throne three days later.

And once Yan Xifeng ascends the throne, what will be the situation of Yan Kingdom?

This is what Yan Linglong is most worried about.
