"Another king? Mrs. Feng, I wonder if you have any suitable candidates in mind? Wei Gonghan asked.

"Qi King Liu Rong!" Feng Yidao: "Liu Rong has good moral character, both intelligence and intelligence, he has won the hearts of the people, and he is the blood of the royal family, which is enough, but this important task can lead Kyushu and enjoy it endlessly." ”

"He? It's just a hairy boy. Wei Gong Han said: "He is only fifteen or sixteen years old this year, how can he take on this big responsibility?" Master Taifu, I know that this King of Qi is the person you support, and you want to assist him in ascending to the throne, and then facilitate your plots. But how could we possibly agree to this? ”

"If you don't choose the king of Qi, then who are you going to choose?" Feng Taifu said coldly: "Liu Xin must be abolished, otherwise how can the world be safe?" The matter of the new monarch cannot be careless. Why don't you say dark words, there are only a few bloodlines of the royal family at the moment, and they are basically controlled by us, but you can nominate one and let us all agree. ”

"I think this matter needs to be discussed in detail. Today is the right time for us to discuss this matter. Wang Xiannian came in and expressed his opinion.

"Merchants? Hahaha, Wang Xiannian, how can you still have the heart to stay in the palace? Feng Yi said disdainfully: "It is said that Xuzhou, which is controlled by your Wang family, has been in constant war recently, and rebellions have broken out, and many city lords and prefects have rebelled, and your Wang family has long been divided, and the people's hearts are not aligned, and their strength has been greatly damaged." Right now, you don't go to Xuzhou to sit in the town, but you still stay in the imperial capital, don't you want Xuzhou? ”

"You know the affairs of my Wang family very well." Wang Xiannian said: "Since Wang Mang led the army to the border pass, the states controlled by my Wang family, the Wei family, the Huo family and other families have suddenly rebelled, it seems that this is Lord Feng, your big deal." However, my royal family has its own method of suppressing the rebellion, so I don't have to worry about it. ”

"Really?" Feng Yi smiled coldly.

At this time, a little eunuch walked at the side door of Weiyang Palace, holding a roll of yellow cloth in his hand.

The little eunuch was in a hurry, looking anxious.

After he came to the high platform next to the dragon chair in Weiyang Palace, he unfolded the yellow cloth in his hand, and chanted loudly: "Ministers, be quiet, Your Majesty has an edict to descend." ”

"Edict?" The ministers were taken aback and asked one after another, "Gonggong Cao, what do you mean by this?" ”

The little eunuch Cao Gong said fairly: "Your Majesty occasionally felt a cold a month ago, and the dragon was unwell. Then the condition gradually worsened, and the doctor was at a loss. Until last night, His Majesty felt that his life was over, and he was worried that the time would come at any time, so he could not entrust the important affairs of the state to the adults in time, so he wrote the edict in advance last night. ”

"You mean, Your Majesty has been...., where is Your Majesty now?" One of the ministers asked.

The little eunuch replied: "After Your Majesty wrote the edict last night, he was in a trance, thinking of the former Empress Wei Ziyao. So His Majesty, under the service of some maids, went to the Fenglai Palace, the bedroom of the former queen mother Wei Ziyao.

In the Fenglai Palace, unexpectedly, His Majesty knocked down the fire candle by mistake due to the lack of safety of the dragon's body, causing a fire. Although the Zajia family and others fought desperately with the forbidden army last night to put out the fire, they still failed to extinguish it in time because the fire was too strong. Therefore, last night, the Fenglai Palace, His Majesty's Dragon Body, and many maids and others were all burned in the fire. I think you ministers should have seen the sky-high fire last night. ”

"Your Majesty was burned to death?"

Huo Jianghai's eyes widened, extremely surprised, and felt that this thing seemed to come too suddenly, without the slightest warning.

"Mrs. Feng, did you do this?"

Huo Jianghai looked at Feng Yi, and was very suspicious that Liu Xin died suddenly, and it was very likely that Feng Yi was the murderer.

Because just now Feng Yi said that he would abolish Liu Xin and set up a new monarch, but now that Liu Xin is suddenly dead, it will not work if he does not establish a new monarch.

Feng Yi said angrily: "Huo Xiangye, you want to spew blood." Although I am dissatisfied with Your Majesty's laziness in government affairs, I will not risk the world to do such a thing. ”

Feng Yi was also extremely shocked in his heart, and felt that Liu Xin's death was too strange and completely inconsistent with the actual situation.

At the same time, he was still wondering if it was the Huo family's poisonous hands, and now he deliberately planted the blame and took a bite.

He used to be Liu Xin's backer, so he was very clear about Liu Xin's physical condition. He expected that as long as nothing major happened, Liu Xin would have no problem living for sixty or seventy years.

At present, Father-in-law Cao said that Liu Xin's illness worsened due to the occasional cold, and he was in danger, and he immediately decided that this was impossible.

"If it's not you, who else can there be?" Wei Gong said coldly: "Although we are also dissatisfied with Your Majesty's laziness in government affairs, we have never thought of putting Your Majesty to death. You must know this very well. In the past, His Majesty's dragon body has always been fine, how could he suddenly fall ill, and even accidentally knocked over the fire candle. This is simply nonsense.

Now that the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, those who have the strength to do this kind of thing, except for my Wei family, Wang family, Huo family, as well as Wang Mang, Ji family, Zhennanhou and others, there are only people from your Zhuzhou faction left. The people of the Ji family did not enter the palace, Wang Mang ignored the affairs of the court at the border pass, and it is impossible for me and several other families to do this, and now the only possible one is you. ”

"Bastard, I'm upright, standing up to the sky, and I will never do such a thing that can't be put on the table." Feng Yi said angrily: "Even if I want to abolish Liu Xin, I will do it openly, is it possible that he can still turn over my palm?" Wei Yushi, I think this must have been done by a few of you, you want to deliberately create chaos and pour dirty water on me. ”

"It's really not you?" Wang Xiannianhu said suspiciously: "I can swear that I never did this." But if you say that you didn't do it, who else? Could it be that Your Majesty is really providential about this? ”

Gongsun Ce, who was standing in the middle of the imperial court, saw that the ministers of the Third Duke and Feng Yi were arguing non-stop, and he sneered in his heart.

Liu Xin's matter was indeed man-made, and it was Wang Mang who ordered Gongsun Ce to do it.

Liu Xin has long wanted to get out of this predicament and ask for peace. At present, Wang Mang wants to let the ministers re-establish a new monarch, stimulate the contradictions of the great families of the court, and then re-enter the court with the help of the prestige of the people and dominate the country, which is exactly what Liu Xin intended. So as soon as Liu Xin and Gongsun Ce put it together, they came up with such a plan to get out.

Before Wang Mang set out to conquer the border pass, he had promised Liu Xin that he would ensure Liu Xin's wealth and safety in the future. At this moment, Liu Xin and his beloved concubine Zhao Guifei had already been sent outside the city and were on their way to Gansu.

His beloved concubine has some origins, she is a niece of Zhao Feiyan, the first beauty of the Han Dynasty, and has some relationship with the Xiongnu Dadanyu.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that His Majesty's soul has returned to Heaven, it is not appropriate for us to discuss it too much. Let's listen to your majesty's edict first. If His Majesty's affairs are really done by others, there must be flaws in the edict. ”

Gongsun Ce has no real power, so although he is Wang Mang's person, he has not been taken seriously and vigilantly by others, and they all think that this matter must have nothing to do with the people on Wang Mang's side.

Because Liu Xin is not dead, it seems that it will not affect Wang Mang at all.

At present, Gongsun Ce suddenly opened his mouth to make a suggestion, but what he said was reasonable and convincing.

"Lord Gongsun Ce's words are very reasonable!" Da Si Nong nodded and said: "Taifu Feng, Huo Xiangye, Wei Yushi, don't fight with each other, first listen to what edict Your Majesty has handed down!" ”
