Chapter 43: Bad News Arrives, Prelude to the Throne
"What do you say that the Son of Heaven hanged himself when you entered the palace? What do you guys eat, and what is the value of the dead Son of Heaven to me? By the way, block the message now. When he heard his master tell him about such an unexpected situation, Tang Liyi was so shocked that he couldn't even hold the teacup in his hand, and he didn't bother to wipe the hot tea splashed on his body.
"Master Hou, the news can't be blocked at all, this matter has spread in the army, and the people have also got the news." The master stood aside in fear and said to Tang Liyi.
"Where is the jade seal of the country now? As long as the jade seal is still there, there is still a way. Tang Liyi calmly said to the master after sorting out his thoughts and controlling his emotions.
"According to the informants in the palace, the jade seal of the country was taken out of the palace by the prince." The master lowered his body again and said to Tang Liyi.
Tang Liyi pondered for a moment and made a decision.
"It shouldn't be difficult to imitate a jade seal now, and it should be possible to do it in a few days by finding some skilled craftsmen."
"It's Master Hou, let's do it."
Liu Liang, the chief general of the Song army, who got the news, also patted his head and was distressed when he heard the news that the Son of Heaven had hanged himself, and his lord ordered him to obey Tang Liyi's orders, and to ensure that Tang Liyi ascended the throne and became the emperor.
Tang Liyi did have some means to make the Qin State, known as the army of tigers and wolves, suffer a big loss, and let the Qin State's mountain-shaking army plant a big heel.
But when the Son of Heaven died, what should he do with the Zen ceremony. Alas, it is not easy for the lord of the country to get along with him. Just when Liu Liang was thinking about how to make a difference, the project of imitating the jade seal of the country was already in full swing.
It was already the next day when Lu Zhan got the news, and when he heard the news from his scouts, he almost fell to the ground without being frightened.
After letting the scout retreat, Lu Zhan kept tapping his head with his fingers and muttered to himself: "The current situation is unexpected, now Nianshuang should not know this bad news, I have to go and see that she is the future daughter-in-law after all."
After speaking, Lu Zhan walked outside Jing Nianshuang's tent, and after thinking about it, he entered the tent. Jing Nianshuang, who was sitting on the bed and embroidering with the palace maid, saw Lu Zhan come in and showed a happy look.
"Lu Lang, why are you here? Is there something going on? Jing Nianshuang asked Lu Zhan softly, his words full of tenderness.
Looking at such a gentle vinegar jar, Lu Zhan couldn't bear to tell her this cruel truth. Looking at Lu Zhan, who came in and didn't speak, Jing Nianshuang also had a bad guess in his heart.
"Lu Lang, is there something wrong with my father." Jing Nianshuang put down the embroidery in his hand and asked with a trembling look at Lu Zhan.
Lu Zhan grabbed Jing Nianshuang's shoulders and said, "Listen to me, don't get excited first, the Son of Heaven is dead."
Hearing such news from Lu Zhan's mouth, tears slowly slid down his white cheeks, and Jing Nianshuang sat in place for a long time and couldn't come back to his senses. Although I already had a guess in my heart, it was still difficult to accept. With a cry of wow, Lu Zhan hugged the sad vinegar jar tightly again.
"Lu Lang, why did my father leave, I ......" The pear blossom who cried before he finished speaking brought rain, saving people and feeling pity.
At this moment, I am afraid that any words of comfort will not have an effect, Lu Zhan had no choice but to pat Jing Nianshuang's back and hug the beautiful woman in his arms tightly.
All the high-ranking officers and royal nobles in the camp knew the bad news, and the prince was comforting his mother, and promised her that he would kill all the rebels and thieves to avenge his father.
"Zhang Ze, where do you say Lu Xian will go at this moment?" After hearing the news, Zhang Yu asked Zhang Ze beside him.
"Miss Hui, according to what I have seen, Gongzi Lu should be accompanying Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess now, after all, the two of them are..."
Without waiting for Zhang Yu to arrive at Jing Nianshuang's tent, he saw a familiar figure in front of him, and Zhang Yu couldn't help but play with it. tiptoed behind Xiao Yezi, one hand hugged Xiao Yezi's thin waist from behind, and the other hand covered Xiao Yezi's mouth.
Xiao Yezi, who was also about to comfort Jing Nianshuang, was startled by the sudden change, and wanted to open his mouth to call for help but found that his mouth was covered, just when Xiao Yezi was about to bite the hand that covered his mouth.
"Little beauty, if you look so beautiful, just follow me."
"Miss Zhang, you took me to play and bully me again." Xiao Yezi looked at Zhang Yu who was teasing him angrily.
Zhang Yuwan smiled and said to Xiao Yezi, "Where are you going?" I and your young master are brothers, you speak politely to me, otherwise I will go and tell Lu Zhanyi to give you to me. ”
Xiao Yezi knew that this was a joke, but he still answered Zhang Yu's question: "I also know the news of the funeral of the Son of Heaven, and I want to comfort my sister when I see the young master go to find my sister."
"The two of them began to call themselves sisters before they passed the door, I was going to visit the fifth princess, and we happened to be together."
As Zhang Yu and Xiao Yezi walked into the tent, they saw Lu Zhan making a silent gesture towards them, and the two tiptoed to Lu Zhan and Jing Nian.
Lu Zhan said softly: "I almost fainted from crying just now, and now I fell asleep when I was tired of crying." It is not convenient for the two of you and the princess's personal maid to help carry you to the bed. ”
"Yo, Lu Lang is so polite to his fiancée, but I am impressed." Although he deliberately made fun of Lu Zhan, he still reported Jing Nianshuang to bed.
After seeing Jing Nianshuang lying on the bed, Lu Zhan said softly: "Xiao Yezi stays here to take care of the princess, Yu'er, you go with me to the camp for deliberations."
At this moment, the camp was full of anger and sadness, and one of the generals shouted for him to bring a group of soldiers to attack the city wall now, and looked at the other officers who were about to move, Lu Zhan said: "If anger can make people strong, fools should rule the world." So please calm down, I know that you all want to avenge the emperor, but now we are not ready to attack the city, and to go now is to send innocent soldiers to death. ”
After being scolded by Lu Zhan, seeing the relaxed atmosphere, Lu Zhan suddenly knelt on the ground and shouted: "I hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not be too sad for the death of the first emperor, the top priority is to ascend the throne and become the emperor, so as to boost the hearts of the army and cut off the attempts of the rebellious ministers and thieves."
Seeing that Lu Zhan took the lead, the rest of the people were not fools, and the skill of the dragon was not to be sought. Although there was no prior discussion, everyone immediately knelt on the ground and said that they would put the country and society first, and implore the prince to ascend the throne.
After several resignations, the crown prince announced that he would ascend the throne tomorrow and become emperor.
