Prince Zhao walked out of the dormitory, and said to Liu Tong and Shi Camel in a low voice: "The king is here." ”

In the Spring and Autumn Period, each kind of death was called differently, the death of the Son of Heaven was called collapse, the death of princes was called Xue, the death of scholars was called pawn, and only the death of civilians was called death.

So Prince Zhao said that he had fallen apart, that is, he had died.

"The prince's day mourns, please make plans as soon as possible, tell the Son of Heaven the news of the king's death, and report the mourning to the nations." Liu Tong listened and suggested to Prince Zhao.

"Oh---, understood." Prince Zhao said calmly.

"Prince, please order that Lord Xiangguo will preside over all affairs during the monarch's funeral." Shi Camel took the opportunity to suggest.

Xiangguo presided over all the affairs during the great funeral of the king?

Prince Zhao clearly heard the taste, "Xiangguo is in charge of all the affairs during the monarch's funeral, so what should I do?" Thinking of this, Prince Zhao couldn't help but look at the stone camel and didn't answer.

"Please order the prince to preside over all affairs during the king's funeral." Seeing this, the stone camel reminded again. This time, there was already some impatience in the stone camel's words.

"My father has passed away, and I, as the crown prince, should shoulder the heavy responsibility of the country, and I don't need others to share it for me." Prince Zhao said.

"It stands to reason that this should be the case, but now that the king has just passed away, the prince, as the only son of the king, should be filial piety to the king. During the period of filial piety, state affairs cannot be wasted, and Xiangguo has been in power for many years and has rich experience in governing the country, so he can preside over the state affairs first. Stone Camel continued to advise.

"This?" Prince Zhao hesitated, and through the words of the stone camel, he could clearly hear the smell of forcing the palace.

It is said that when a monarch dies, he should first let himself inherit the throne, and then he should preside over the funeral of the previous monarch. But Liu Tong was good with Shi Camel, and never mentioned his inheritance to the throne, but blindly proposed that Liu Tong should preside over the country's political affairs, and the taste of forcing the palace was already obvious.

"Well, let me think about it." At this time, although Ji Zhao was said to be the prince of the scattered country, his foundation was not deep, and he did not have too much support from ministers in the country.

Of course, it is a good thing for young people to have enthusiasm, but this enthusiasm must be combined with reality, if it is just blindly reckless, it can only hit a pimple in the end.

Now Prince Zhao clearly felt the pressure from within the scattered country, and this pressure made his thoughts of preparing to clear dissidents after returning to China disappear in an instant.

"Good ---" After thinking about it for a while, Prince Zhao said weakly: "With your strategy, Liu Tong will preside over all the affairs of the country during the funeral." However, I also have conditions, that is, you must ensure that I succeed to the throne of Sanguo smoothly. ”

Smoothly inherit the throne of the scattered kingdom?

Liu Tong smiled when he heard this: "The difference between the prince's words, as long as you report the news of the king's death to the royal family, the royal family will definitely canonize you as the monarch of the scattered country as soon as possible." This depends on the attitude of the royal family, and the two of us are not capable of deciding the succession of the crown prince. ”

Having said that, Prince Zhao understands that even if the royal family successfully canonizes himself as the monarch of the scattered country, whether or not he can take charge of the military and political power of the scattered country in the end still needs the support of these two people.

If these two people get in the way, even if he has the name of a king, it is difficult to have the reality of a king.

"That being said, I think you both misunderstood what I meant when I became king, and I needed the support of both of you. Will you be able to say yes? Prince Zhao immediately changed to another tone and said to Liu Tong and Shi Huo.

"That's up to you......"

Just when Shi Camel was about to speak, Liu Tong stopped him and said to the crown prince: "The prince's smooth succession to the throne is a major event in the scattered country, and we, as the courtiers of the scattered country, of course must follow your footsteps, obey your arrangement, share the worries for the prince, and seek benefits for the people." ”

This is a big talk, although Liu Tong never said anything, but he said everything in his words. The implication is that no matter whether your crown prince Zhao succeeds to the throne smoothly or not, I, Liu Tong and Shi Camel, will be the courtiers of the scattered country, and will continue to serve the prince and devote myself to the scattered country.

"Okay, then it's annoying that Lord Xiangguo will bother to worry about the great funeral of the monarch's father." After that, Prince Zhao walked into the dormitory of the loose plate.

Liu Tong glanced at the stone camel and said tacitly: "General Duolao is bothered." ”

"Xiangguo rest assured, with my stone camel here, there will be no problems in Sancheng." Stone Camel replied.

"Okay, you will be with the prince for the next few days, and I will go to handle the funeral for us." With that, Liu Tong walked out of the palace.

Liu Tong has been staying in the palace since the accident of the loose plate, and after so many days, he is so tired that he is about to collapse. Although it is very tiring, the old man must continue to persevere, and there are many things to come.

After a short rest, Liu Tong got up to revise the book to the royal family about the death of the monarch of the scattered country, and at the same time asked the royal family to canonize the crown prince Zhao as the new monarch of the scattered country.

In addition, Liu Tong began to draft relevant documents to be sent to neighboring countries, informing other countries of the news of the death of Sanpan, inviting people to come to the funeral of Sanpan, and so on.

Under the operation of Liu Tong, the funeral of the loose plate was held as scheduled, and many surrounding countries came when they should come, and those who should not come also took the initiative to give up their previous suspicions to participate in the funeral of the loose plate.

Naturally, the Qin people are indispensable among these people, after all, on the surface, the Qin people are still the courtiers of the scattered country? When the monarch dies, can he not come?

After attending the funeral of the loose plate, Yingkang came to Liu Tong's mansion.

Yingkang's arrival made Liu Tong feel very happy, "Oh, how could Master Sima think of coming to my mansion?" It's unexpected, unexpected! ”

Seeing this, Yingkang arched his hand and said: "Lord Xiangguo is also the doctor of Qianyi, in addition to participating in the great funeral of the king, I also have a meaning this time, that is, to report to you the situation of Qianyi." ”

"Oh, don't say that, how dare I dare to take on so many things in Qianyi, it's just a name." Of course, Liu Tong knew his situation at this time, and he was also very modest to say his identity.

"Lord Xiangguo's kindness to my Qin people, Yingkang will never forget, and I have always kept your affection in my heart, if he needs help in the future, Yingkang will not hesitate."

From Yingkang's words, Liu Tong could hear that the Qin people were willing to help him, but the current scattered country was still under his own control, so what could he worry about? So Liu Tong said to Ying Kang: "According to Lord Sima's intentions, I have already controlled everything in Sancheng, so I guess I won't have anything to worry about, right?" ”

Ying Kang smiled and said, "The current situation of the scattered country is based on the joint efforts of Xiangguo and General Shi Camel. One day, General Shi Camel will no longer join forces with Xiangguo, how will you control the scattered country? ”

Liu Tong understood the implication of Yingkang's words, if one day the stone camel fell out with him, what would he do?

Liu Tong didn't think of this, of course, now that he is busy like this, he doesn't have time to think about these things, and now as soon as Yingkang is reminded, Liu Tong only feels a chill in his back, "No, the death of the king, the stone camel is also responsible, if you don't join forces with me, Prince Zhao will also execute his stone camel." ”

"Please also remember Yingkang's words, Shi Camel is a native of Sanguo, and Xiangguo is an outsider, and there is a difference between inside and outside." Then Yingkang said to Liu Tong: "Before Ren Ji left, I explained to him, and at the critical moment, I asked Lord Xiangguo to find him, maybe it will help you." ”

After that, Yingkang said goodbye to Liu Tong and went straight to Qianyi.
