Chapter 662 Funeral
After the death of the emperor, the whole country of Beiyan fell into grief, in order to show his filial piety, Qi Chengan ordered the closure of the city for half a month, during which all the shops in the country were not allowed to open for business, and everyone must wear filial piety for the emperor when they go out.
Since the old emperor has passed away, then Qi Cheng'an naturally became the new emperor of Northern Yan, as for the first thing after Qi Cheng'an ascended the throne, in addition to handling the funeral of the old emperor, another thing is to eliminate dissidents.
Because in the past, when Qi Chengyan was still there, there were some ministers in the court who were around Qi Chengyan, although these people seem to be honest now, but Qi Chengan can't tolerate them.
Qi Cheng'an had already secretly made a plan, and once he officially took the throne, he would find various reasons to belittle or punish these ministers who had followed Qi Chengyan in the past.
However, there is one thing that Qi Cheng'an didn't expect, that is, although Qian Sulan has left the harem, there are still some people who hold on to her, after all, the incident that Qi Chengyan rebelled against before was caused by Qian Sulan.
So on the day that Qi Cheng'an officially succeeded to the throne, someone immediately made a suggestion to Qi Cheng'an.
"Emperor Qiqi, the first emperor is about to be buried, the minister has a suggestion, I have to say, I heard that before the first emperor Long controlled Bintian, the most favored concubine was Lan Guifei, so the minister boldly proposed, it is better to let Lan Guifei go to the first emperor's funeral!"
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
"The minister also seconded it!"
When a person said such a thing, a large group of ministers immediately echoed it, but Qi Cheng'an encountered such a problem on the first day of his ascension, so how could he be good.
Qi Cheng'an was definitely unwilling to let Qian Sulan go to the funeral of the former emperor, but now that the ministers have seconded it, Qi Cheng'an is not good, and directly rejected the ministers' proposal, so in desperation, Qi Cheng'an can only try his best to help Qian Sulan exonerate.
"The ministers are very pleased to consider the emperor, but there is no precedent for the funeral of the concubine in my dynasty, I am afraid that if this matter spreads, I am afraid that the royal family will be criticized by the people in the future, if it really comes to that day, what should I do!"
"This ......"
Qi Cheng'an's words, the ministers had nothing to say, but all the changes were caused by Qian Sulan, so Qian Sulan was already the image of a demon concubine in the hearts of the ministers at this time, how could the ministers dare to rest assured that she would continue to stay in the harem.
As a result, other ministers immediately stood up and tried to continue to persuade Qi Cheng'an.
"Your Majesty, although there is no precedent for our dynasty to accompany the funeral of a favorite concubine, but this time there is a reason for this, if it weren't for Lan Guifei this time, the emperor would not have died so early, and the four princes Qi Chengyan would not have died because of this, one by one is enough for Lan Guifei to accompany the funeral of the emperor!"
The minister who spoke was following Qi Chengyan in the past, so he was so upset with Qi Chengyan, Qi Chengan also looked at him meaningfully, he didn't speak immediately, he didn't think that he hadn't had time to move this person, but this person had the idea of moving Qian Sulan first.
And Qi Cheng'an didn't speak immediately, but immediately popped out other ministers and began to second, they all felt that what this minister said made some sense, so they also continued to propose that Qi Cheng'an should give Qian Sulan an order to accompany the emperor to the funeral.
All the people in the court had this idea for a while, and Qi Chengan also understood that if he didn't agree to them today, then this matter might be difficult to conclude, so in desperation, Qi Chengan had no choice but to agree to this matter.
"Since all the Aiqing are so considerate of the emperor, if I don't agree, it will be a little unfilial, in this case, then after the end of the early dynasty, I will immediately issue an order to find Concubine Lan, once she is found, I will immediately send her to the emperor to accompany the funeral!"
Hearing that Qi Cheng'an had agreed to this matter, the ministers gave up, so they reported some other things, and this early dynasty finally ended.
And after Qi Cheng'an returned to the inner palace, he began to think about this matter about Qian Sulan, Qian Sulan helped Qi Chengan do so many things, Qi Cheng'an naturally couldn't really let Qian Sulan go to the funeral, so he had to find a way to help Qian Sulan escape this matter.
It's a pity that this matter is easy to say, but difficult to say, Qi Cheng'an fell into a bottleneck for a while, and he didn't know what to do, and at this moment, Qi Cheng'an suddenly sounded again, that person's status in Beiyan is also very important, he is Murong Ye.
Qi Cheng'an has been busy with Qi Chengyan's confrontation with Qi Chengyan during this time, so he almost forgot about this Murong Ye, Qi Cheng'an also suddenly remembered that Murong Ye seemed to have no news for a long time, so he immediately prepared to let someone investigate Murong Ye's whereabouts.
"Immediately go and secretly investigate Murong Ye, I haven't received news about Murong Ye for a long time, and he hasn't even appeared for such a major event as my accession to the throne, I want to see where he went!"
"Go, the villain will check!"
After Qi Cheng'an's secret guard received the order, he immediately went to investigate this matter, since the news of Murong Ye's previous defeat came back, Murong Ye had not shown his face in the imperial city, so it was still a little difficult to find out Murong Ye's whereabouts this time.
It took several days for the secret guard to finally find out some clues, and finally he got the last news about Murong Ye, that is, Murong Ye led the army and went in the direction of Julan Kingdom.
"Ju Languo, what is Murong Ye going to do there!"
After hearing this news, Qi Cheng'an was also surprised, Qi Cheng'an knew that the reason why Murong Ye would lose to a man before was because of the help of Julan Kingdom, could it be that Murong Ye went to Julan Country with the army this time to take revenge.
Qi Cheng'an thought about it for a while and felt that it was unlikely, because with Murong Ye's heart, it was unlikely that he would do such a thing, even if he wanted to retaliate, he should take revenge on Feng Chengyi, not Ju Languo.
"Your Majesty, Murong Ye led the troops to Julan Kingdom, maybe not to find trouble in Julan Kingdom, the villain heard that the prince and princess of Darong also arrived in the country, maybe Murong Ye led the troops to deal with the prince and princess of Darong!"
"Oh?"
The analysis of the dark guard made Qi Cheng'an a little confused the more he listened, why did Feng Chengyi and Mu Xi suddenly go to Julan Kingdom, and when they saw Qi Cheng'an's puzzled eyes, the dark guard immediately explained.
"Your Majesty, there was a civil strife in Julan Kingdom, and the two princesses fought in the country because of the position of the empress, among them, Princess Julanyi, who is now the empress of Julan Kingdom, she was once kind to Prince Darong!"
After the secret guard's explanation, Qi Cheng'an finally understood the reason why Feng Chengyi and Mu Xi went to Darong at the party, they should have gone to help Ju Lanyi.
And the reason why Murong Ye led the army to Julan Country should also be to take revenge on Feng Chengyi and Mu Xiwan, he must have wanted to take advantage of Feng Chengyi and Mu Xiwan to deal with the civil strife, and take advantage of their unpreparedness.
