In the Yangde Palace, the original magnificent decoration has been submerged by the white sea, the newly built mourning hall is covered with white curtains, cigarette smoke, it looks very solemn and solemn, Huang Luo, umbrella cover, flag, lantern ......, including the small eight-petal lotus lamp in the hand of the maid Lingling, without exception, are all pasted with white paper. 'The Son of Heaven is dead, and the world is silent! This is not a casual statement.

The body of Emperor Ling of Han was put into a coffin of golden silk nanmu, still parked in the bedroom, the weather in April of the lunar calendar has become hot, in order to prevent the corpse from rotting, the coffin is surrounded by large ice blocks taken from the ice cellar of the palace, and the white cold air comes out from time to time, and at first glance, it seems that the soul of a person is out of the body.

According to the etiquette of the Han family, the funeral of the Son of Heaven is changed from day to month, and the civil mourning is generally twenty-seven months, while the royal mourning is twenty-seven days. In other words, in the next nearly a month, the body of Emperor Han Ling will enjoy this artificial ********** treatment until it is buried in the ground!

Those who should cry are all cried, and those who should be sad are sad enough, as for those who should be buried, it is best to find a hemp rope to hang themselves now, if you are richer, you can also try high-end ascension products such as 'Heding Red', so that you can still die happily, otherwise, what awaits them will be boundless hell......

The dead have been sent to the coffin, and the next step is the matter of the living, and it is urgent to support the new monarch, but there is only one dragon chair for the emperor, and there are two candidates for the empire, so trouble comes.

Because Emperor Han Ling did not leave a clear edict of succession before his death, who will inherit the throne has become the focus of everyone's discussion, so before the tears on everyone's faces are wiped dry, a battle for the throne was launched in the dormitory behind the Yangde Hall and in front of the coffin of Emperor Han Ling.

The people who participated in the war were clearly divided into three major parts, the first was the group that was in favor of supporting Liu Xie, the second son of the emperor; Its personnel included Empress Dowager Dong, her uncle Dong Chong, and some ministers who were loyal to Emperor Ling during his lifetime. Empress Dowager Dong is the biological mother of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, an ordinary looking old woman in her fifties, originally just a small Tinghou lady who did not enter the stream, after her son became the emperor, the mother became the queen mother of the Han Empire by virtue of her son, and the status is extremely noble, and the second son of the emperor Liu Xie has been raised and cared for by the old queen mother after his biological mother was killed, and is regarded as the flesh of the heart.

Fight for love for your grandson, that is, for yourself, after all, the prince is still young, and the one who will really control the power of the country in the future is the one who sits behind the little emperor.

The second is a group of people who support the emperor's eldest son, Liu Wei, Empress He, her brother He Jin, as well as a group of staff and generals from the General's Mansion, as well as some scholars and officials who signed an offensive and defensive alliance with them for common interests.

As for the rest, there are some neutral officials, these people are the most numerous, and they have become a huge force to be reckoned with in the field, they are politically loyal to the Han family, but they are not partial to a certain prince, as long as the people of the old Liu family sit on the throne, they will swear allegiance, and Situ Wang Yun is the representative of them.

The three forces, the two competitors, are hostile to each other and restrain each other, forming a wonderful balance of power, and no one has absolute certainty of defeating the opponent.

The situation became confusing for a while.

By the way, in addition to the above three groups of people, there is also a strange combination in the scene, that is, Princess Haiyan and her green-clothed maid Lingling, they do not belong to any kind of sphere of influence, and they will not participate in the political game in it, and they have become characters who are free from everything, but their identities are extremely sensitive.

Princess Haiyan, she is the daughter of the first emperor and the sister of the future emperor! No one can change this identity!

"The prince Liu Xie is the beloved son of His Majesty, and he is gifted and intelligent, clever and studious, he will inherit the unification, and with the careful assistance of all Aiqing, he will become a generation of saints in the future!" The most noble Empress Dowager Dong was the first to provoke this controversy, and tried to put her beloved grandson on the throne of the emperor in one fell swoop.

"The Queen Mother is wise! The prince Liu Xie is very intelligent, and he is indeed the most suitable candidate to succeed to the throne! The members of Empress Dowager Dong's party, as well as some officials who wanted to fish in troubled waters and make a meritorious contribution to the establishment, immediately praised and kept advocating.

"The prince is the eldest son of His Majesty, according to the family law of the Han family, he is the best candidate to inherit the throne," for the sake of her son's throne, Queen He also did not show weakness, phoenix eyes widened, and actually stood up from her seat, the real age of this queen is only thirty years, it is a woman's golden age, a mature charm, coupled with wearing a white filial piety clothes, 'pear blossoms with rain' look really pitiful.

"The eldest son of the emperor is simple by nature, benevolent and filial, and deserves to inherit the throne!" The uncle naturally turned to his nephew, and the general He Jin immediately led people to preach on the side.

There was another uproar in the field, and the characters on both sides began to fight a war of words, while the neutrals remained silent, waiting for the development of the situation.

"What, do you still have to fight with the mourning family?" Empress Dowager Dong slammed the dragon head crutch in her hand and began to use her identity as the empress dowager to oppress people.

"How dare the daughter-in-law do this, she is just worried that the queen mother is too sad and old and frail, and she will be thoughtful when she thinks about things!" Queen He was born in a family of butchers, grew up in the people, and was never ambiguous when it came to scolding kung fu, this remark was deferential on the surface, but in fact she almost said to her face, 'The old fool, the old immortal is coming'.

"You! Presumptuous ......"

"Huh! Can't! ……”

…………………………

In front of the civil and military officials, the two most noble women of the Han Dynasty began to spit on each other, I have to say, women are born with a talent for quarrels, only to see for a while in the palace, saliva is flying, foam splashing, everyone who sees is dumbfounded, and they can't help but secretly think: "Women quarrel, so terrible!" is the resurrection of Su Qin and Zhang Yi, the two great tongue discerning people of the Warring States Period, and that's it!

It is really unseemly to quarrel like this, but because of the identities of the two, no one in the hundred officials dares to come forward to admonish, seeing that a royal farce and scandal are about to be staged......

"Stop!" A crisp and incomparably angry roar suddenly sounded in the palace, and it was not someone else who made this shout, it was Princess Haiyan who had been kneeling in front of the coffin of Emperor Han Ling and silently wiping her tears, at this time she was like an angry little she-wolf, scanning everyone in the palace with sharp eyes, only to see that the eyes were everywhere, whether it was the emperor's relatives or the important ministers of the court, all of them bowed their heads and avoided him, without him, just because Her Royal Highness the princess's eyes at this time were too similar to the charm of the deceased Emperor Han Ling, ...... was not angry and self-assured!

'Within the Liuhe, I am the only one! This is not the look that a woman should have!

"Father's bones are not cold, please don't disturb the rest of your soul anymore, let Your Majesty go on the road with peace of mind, Haiyan kneels down here!" The brave man makes a move, and the wise man moves with grace and power, and there is no doubt that Princess Haiyan is a wise man.

The extremely sharp gold-handled scimitar was inserted into the crack of the brick on the ground, the blade was cold and shining, and the sound was continuous, and then a pair of pink knees touched the ground, and Princess Haiyan couldn't kneel down, and prayed with her own sorrow that these people would stop disturbing the undead of Emperor Han Ling.

"Wait for a capital offense! Princess, please! "The princess's gift is not something that anyone can afford, whether it is the impassioned quarrel just now, or those who did not say a word, all the ministers in the field quickly fell to their knees.

This is not only the order of a princess of the Han Dynasty, but also the request of a daughter for her deceased father, in short, under the deterrence of scimitars and tears, first those neutral ministers retreated respectfully under the leadership of Situ Wang Yun, and then the general He Jin, and the uncle Dong Zhong and others also led their subordinates to retreat.

In the end, seeing that all the ministers had retreated to the main hall outside the palace, Empress Dowager Dong and Empress He glanced at each other, and they both felt a little ashamed, but then gritted their teeth and gritted their teeth fiercely, each dragged a prince, and strode out.

Since ancient times, the greatest magic of the throne is that ---it can make fathers and sons, brothers, and relatives draw swords against each other!

There were only two princesses left in the originally overcrowded dormitory, and the green-clothed maid Lingling hurriedly helped her master, looking at the empty mourning hall, the two girls hugged their heads and cried......

After crying for a while, Princess Haiyan suddenly ran to the coffin of Emperor Han Ling like crazy, hugged the emperor's body, and cried sadly: "Father! Open your eyes and take a look! The world of the Han is about to be chaotic! ……”
