Compared with the initiative of the white ink woman Qiu Yeyue, Liu Yi was more interested in her words about the reappearance of the Mozi Ling at this time, remembering that when he learned about the secret of Momen in Nie Li's place before, he had a common conjecture with him, that is, Mozi Ling was in the Beiping Imperial Palace! If according to Qiu Yeyue's words, Mozi Ling fell into the hands of Heaven at this time, and the Son of Heaven was terminally ill at this time, could there be any connection between the two? But the Heavenly Killing of Mozi made Liu Yi acceptable, they have been yearning for this thing for hundreds of years, maybe they have made a layout very early, but what is the benefit of killing the Son of Heaven for them? Or is his acting skills too good, and his appearance of a loyal minister makes Tianlu mistakenly think that if he gets rid of the Son of Heaven, Liu Yi will go away with grief and anger?

Regardless of whether he Liu Langsheng is loyal or traitorous in the eyes of the world, the death of the Son of Heaven under his current power is absolutely beneficial and harmless to him, and this conclusion can be drawn with a little analysis, could it be that the brain of the Heavenly Killing Sect Master has also entered the water? With Liu Xie's age, it is even more impossible to have any deep hatred with him, anyway, the more he thinks about Liu Yi, the more he feels that this matter is strange, and it is difficult to have a reasonable inference, and it seems that he can only wait for himself to return to Beijing and then investigate it through various evidence.

The appearance of the autumn night moon and the white ink people is just a small episode for Liu Yi in the itinerary, there are major events during the period when he rushed to Beiping, Liu Yi left Sizhou on the tenth day, Zhang Liao successfully persuaded the Hangu Pass guard to give Hao Meng out of the city pass, there is Han Sui's head in hand and Ma Chao followed to help him and came with a big victory, Hao Meng's pressure can be imagined, the so-called people who know the times are Junjie, more than 200,000 coalition troops and Han Sui, Zhang Wei, Yan Xing and others are all under Liu Yi's head, he has more than 10,000 soldiers in his hands, Even if there is a Xiongguan in hand, they dare not resist, so far the battle of Sizhou can be described as a complete battle, Zhang Liao personally sat at this pass to wait for the military general's order.

This news naturally made Liu Yi extremely happy on the way, but the next bigger thing made him a little unsure how to describe his mood, the sixth year of Xingping in the Han Dynasty, June 28, 199 AD, Emperor Liu Xie collapsed due to miasma and collapsed in the Ningyang Hall of the Beiping Imperial Palace, at the age of twenty! Because the emperor has no children and no brothers, and the imperial family has been fragmented as early as when Dong Zhuo was in turmoil, and then the world was in turmoil, and the princes were divided.

When Emperor Xian died, only the chamberlain Zhang Yun was by his side, according to what he said, Emperor Xian felt deeply guilty that he had no children so far, and he also read the will of the emperor's uncle and general Liu Yi Xinghan to add it to the king of Yan, and said that the matter of unification can be decided by the emperor's uncle and the old ministers after consultation, as soon as the news came out, in addition to Liu Yi's close ministers, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military are all different opinions. In terms of identity and status, Liu Yi, the uncle of the general, is naturally the best choice, but Xi Zhicai has maintained a certain degree of restraint in this matter according to Liu Yi's words, and what the lord said is not bad, if he is too radical in this matter, he will be used by people with intentions and have some adverse impact on the great cause, but it is precisely because of their silence that the officials of the court and the central government do not dare to mention the general too much in this matter.

Father's inheritance or brother's death is the only way to change the throne, but the situation at this time is more special, Liu Xie has no children, no brothers and relatives, the scope of candidates for the succession needs to be expanded to the entire Han family, at this time the general has not returned in Sizhou, although the will is said to be discussed by the old ministers, but how can a person like Yang Biao who has been in the officialdom for a long time express his opinion before Liu Yi returns? Not to mention that the former is still Liu Yi's in-laws, no matter what, they have to wait for the general's opinion, now what they can do is to do the future affairs of the Son of Heaven properly, in order to do the way of the ministers, but there will be some people who are unwilling to be lonely in this matter, for a while Liu Yu's son Liu Kang, Liu Biao's son Liu Qi have been mentioned, and the most mentioned is Liu Yi's son Liu Huan, this statement makes Liu Yi, who got the news, quite bitterly smile, Lao Tzu is not dead yet, you are worried about your son? Even if the words of those ministers are consistent with reason, my Han is not Manchu!

However, among Liu Yi's subordinates, the death of the Son of Heaven did not cause much panic and shock, in the hearts of the people, he was the heaviest general, and it was not uncommon for the weak crown to die in the late Han Dynasty, and the things in this palace were quite far away from them, but it saved a lot of hands and feet of Xi Zhicai, in fact, in the hearts of him and many Liu Yi's generals, there are great expectations for the succession to the throne after the death of the Son of Heaven. But if the lord can ascend to the position of the emperor of the Han Dynasty, their benefits are obvious, compared to the caution of the court, the army is much simpler, except for Liu Yi, no one is convinced.

At this time, the weather is hot, the coffin of the Son of Heaven can not be placed in the palace for too long, this mourning is also imminent, this matter is dominated by Yang Biao, Xi Zhicai Chen Qun Zhong Xuan and others as a supplement, generally speaking, the Son of Heaven will focus on arranging his own mausoleum after succeeding to the throne, the capital of the Han Dynasty at this time is Beiping, as early as after the Son of Heaven ushered in here, Liu Yi also began to arrange according to the ceremony, although the mausoleum of the Han Dynasty royal family is mostly in Luoyang, Chang'an, can be at this time the weather and the situation in Sizhou will be dedicated to the emperor buried there is obviously inappropriate, Once the coffin of the Son of Heaven is buried, there will be no talk of migration, and on the evening of the third day of the period of the suspension of the spirit, the general finally arrived in Beiping.

As soon as he entered the Beijing division Liu Yi's house did not return to the palace, his return made the slightly disturbed people's hearts completely settle down, there is a general in the court there is a white jade pillar, at this time Liu Yi's status in the court is even more prominent, the general who is full of dust first in front of the spirit of the Son of Heaven to pay tribute to the vigil, no matter how many questions Liu Yi has about the death of the Son of Heaven at this time, but at this time he also has to deal with Liu Xie's aftermath properly. For the hundreds of officials in the court, Emperor Liu Xie is a high emperor, but in Liu Yi's heart, he is his son and nephew, and he relies on him very much on weekdays, and now his pathos for dying young is by no means completely contrived.

And after Liu Yi just finished the ceremony, several old ministers came together, the sky can not be without the sun, the country can not be without a king, this is the ancient principle, before Liu Yi did not return to the matter can only be shelved, and now that the general has returned, this matter will immediately be put on the agenda, everyone will rest in the side hall next to the mourning hall, everything is arranged by Zhang Yun.

"General, the untimely death of the Son of Heaven has made the whole country sad, but the country cannot be without a king for a day, we as a minister also need to make a decision as soon as possible to protect the inheritance of my Han bloodline as the right way, the Son of Heaven will entrust this matter to the general, at this time the general is also expected, and we should also take the general as the head of the horse." The person who spoke had a thin face and was quite tired, it was the father of Fu Hou, who was in the middle of the court at this time, and Yang Biao was ranked as the third duke, and he was also the representative of the old minister.

"General, what Fu Sikong said is extremely true, and it is also in line with etiquette, and now the general is entrusted by the Son of Heaven to be in danger, and he should do something." At this time, it was Liu Yi's father-in-law Cai Yong, who is now the imperial historian of the court, but he is more interested in Youzhou Academy, the death of the Son of Heaven has a lot to do with it, whether it is public or private, he is naturally inclined to his son-in-law, but the daughter is extremely cautious in this matter, and there must be no remarks before the husband returns, this is the court, Liu Yi's status is above him, so he is also an official at this time.

"Well, what the two said is very reasonable, but the matter of the emperor's unification is extremely important, Liu feels that the death of the Son of Heaven is quite strange, and the current situation is the first to mourn for the Son of Heaven, and then Liu must thoroughly investigate this matter, such as today's uncertain, the Han family is drifting away, Yi is entrusted by the Son of Heaven, and the heart is terrified, this succession to the throne is not child's play, a careless Liu will have no face to see the emperors of the past dynasties, and it must not be easily determined!" Liu Yi bowed his head slightly and said again, the so-called miasma is the malaria in modern times, and the appearance of Emperor Xian when he was dying is quite consistent with this disease, but after all, it is just a pretext, and everyone has doubts about the funeral of the Son of Heaven in their hearts, but it is inconvenient to say more.

"What the general said is that since Dong Zhuo's rebellion, the princes of the world are not separating the states and counties, attacking privately, causing the Han family to fall into decline, fortunately, the general came out to turn the tide, and once again revitalized the prestige of the Han Dynasty, the early death of the Son of Heaven is indeed unexpected, this Han orthodox matter will be pressed on the shoulders of the general, and it is necessary to act cautiously, but ...... I am afraid that the thorough investigation of what the general said will be taken advantage of by people with ulterior motives! Situ Yang Biao is also suspicious of the death of the Son of Heaven, the first thing that comes to his mind is Liu Yi, the general's prestige and Liu Yi has always been a person, if there is at least a little too anxious at this time, and at this time he is still busy with the Sizhou Rebellion, not in Beijing at all, these things in the palace have always been quite obscure, but Liu Yi will be thoroughly investigated when he returns, which invisibly dispelled many doubts in Yang Biao's heart, and his support for him became firmer.

"Although what Yang Situ said is reasonable, Liu will never let this matter go unnoticed, the Son of Heaven is the lord of Liu, and he is also the son and nephew of the family, and Liu will not sit idly by in the public and private, and Liu will not sit idly by, at this time, everything is temporarily put aside to deal with the aftermath for the Son of Heaven, as for what you say, it should not be ignored, Liu intends to let the descendants of Fu take charge of the government first, Liu should do his best to assist, one is to stabilize the world and the officials are worry-free, and the other is to have a good life with the Han family, and the matter is urgent, and it is only necessary to do this expedient measure." Liu Yi sighed slightly when he heard this, and he said that he was all focused on the overall situation.

But his words gave all the old ministers present a big surprise, no one thought that the general would have such an arrangement, at this time although Liu Yi was polite and not arrogant, but there was a power in his words that people did not dare to resist, for a while everyone was contemplating their intentions, but no one said anything else about it, and there was silence in this side hall!
