In the hall, Chen Sansi curled up in the corner of the low couch, staring at the wooden box in front of him with burning eyes, neither saying a word, nor immediately opening the small box, his face was full of wood, making it impossible to guess his thoughts.

At this moment, his heart is no different from paste.

While being a little curious about what Qi Changrong would leave to himself, his thoughts had already flown to Chen Guo, which was thousands of miles away.

According to the time when the news came back, I am afraid that Chen Guoguo's funeral has been completed now.

Even if he absconded back to China desperately at this moment, he would not be able to see his father for the last time.

Thinking of this, his heart hurts.

That's the father who gave birth to him and raised him, even if he is too partial at some times, and even he can give it up, but how can decades of love be forgotten overnight?

He couldn't.

Therefore, no matter what, he must find a way to return to Chen Guo.

As if he was finally ready in his heart, Chen Sansi took a deep breath, reached for the wooden box, and took out the contents inside.

It's a small note.

There are only two words on it.

Letter of loneliness.

Chen Sansi: "......"

Staring at such an inexplicable note, he was half speechless.

Yes, although there are only two words, it is very long-looking prince's demeanor.

But, believe her?

Chen Sansi squinted his eyes, he couldn't think of what kind of situation Prince Changrong would have written these two words?

No matter how much she calculated, it was impossible for her to calculate when her father would die and when he would need these two words.

So, what is Prince Changrong thinking?

Chen San didn't understand, but he had to say that these two words actually reassured him.

Holding the word 'Xingu' in his hand, it was like drawing great courage from Qi Changrong.

It was enough for him to calm down.

After a moment, Chen Sansi regained his composure and crumpled the paper with an expressionless face.

That's it, since Qi Changrong said so, then he will believe it again.

After thinking about it, Chen Sansi rubbed his eyebrows and didn't think about it anymore.

And at this time, outside the palace.

Jiang Bowen also learned of the death of Emperor Chen.

When Bato brought the news back, even if he was like Jiang Bowen, he couldn't help but be stunned for a while.

Seeing this, Bato sighed: "The matter is too sudden, there is no time to make any preparations, and now the new emperor who succeeds Chen Guo is the original second prince of Chen Guo." ”

"Is that him?" Jiang Bowen curled his fingers and tapped them lightly on his knees, frowning in distress, as if he didn't expect things to come to this point

After all, in the past, he never paid attention to the second prince of Chen Guo, and he never thought that he would become the biggest winner in the end

"That way, it's a bit of a problem."

He had never put a lot of thought into that person, and if he wanted to deal with Chen Guo in the future, he was afraid that it would not be easy.

Bartow nodded approvingly, "It's a little more complicated, but it also has some benefits." ”

Jiang Bowen raised his eyebrows and said in confusion: "Oh? ”

Bato was encouraged and continued: "The new emperor of the Chen State and the Jin Kingdom are not on good terms. ”

Jiang Bowen is a smart person, and he doesn't need to say anything at all to understand the meaning of his words.

Since Chen Guo and Jin Guo are no longer friendly, the original balance will be broken again.

The situation is much better now than it was many years ago, and the strength of all countries has shrunk accordingly......

Soon after the new emperor of Yan ascended the throne, it was a time when everything was in ruins.

Emperor Chen died, and there was still a lot of mess to be cleaned up by the new emperor who had just succeeded to the throne.

And he Liang Guo lost several continents one after another.

Speaking of which, only the Jin Kingdom took advantage of it.

But at this juncture, Prince Changrong was killed and disappeared, and he deeply broke the winning side into a losing side.

Lost continents can be regained, but dead heirs cannot be brought back to life.

Thinking about it, Emperor Jin Anhuang was very distressed about this.

"That's it." Jiang Bowen pressed his eyebrows, completely put this matter behind him, and said to Barto: "In the end, no matter which country has an accident, it is a good thing for us. ”

Hearing this, Bato thought about it carefully, and after confirming that it did not have a great impact, he nodded slowly and agreed with Jiang Bowen's words.

At this time, Jiang Bowen said again: "Chen and Jin are friendly neighbors, and now that Chen has an accident, it is impossible for Emperor Jin An to say nothing, and tomorrow's early dynasty will be lively again." ”

"Hey......"

Bartow let out a long sigh.

"Yes, according to the previous practice, at this time, Emperor Jin An should send a person of no low status to Chen State to pacify, in order to continue the friendly relations between the two countries, but I don't know who he will send this time, at the beginning of the murder of the prince of the East Palace."

After that, Barto's brows were furrowed as if he could trap mosquitoes, and a wry smile appeared on his face: "No matter who it is, I just hope that it will not be an adult, the current Shangjing is at a critical time, and it is only one step away from success, and no one can lack an adult." ”

"Let's talk about it." Jiang Bowen lowered his eyes, and he didn't say anything about it, but said: "It's useless for you and me to talk about it, and let's see the result of the discussion tomorrow morning." ”

That being said, he had a faint premonition in his heart.

Emperor Jin An may not send him.

The indestructible trust between them has long been broken in the middle, and without the help of that incident, in the heart of Emperor Jin An, he is no different from ordinary courtiers.

……

The next day, in the morning.

The civil and military officials in the Jinluan Hall were arguing.

For the sake of who went to Chen Guo to mourn.

It is said that it is a mourning vigil, which is generally a vigil until the end of the mourning period.

But...... As we all know, the state mourning lasts for three years.

So in the eyes of everyone, this is a chore, and if there are no special circumstances, you will definitely not be able to come back for two or three years.

No one wants to stay away from their homeland for so many years, especially until they don't know the habits of the newly appointed Emperor Chen.

No one wants to use themselves as a living target.

Seeing that the serious court had turned into a vegetable market because of a trivial matter, Emperor Jin Anhuang's temples throbbed.

He raised his hand and pressed the sore spot, the corners of his lips tightened into a straight line, and the anger in his eyes became more and more intense.

Just when the noise became more and more intense, Emperor Jin An suddenly scolded in a deep voice: "Enough! What kind of place are you supposed to be? Dare to act like this, one or two noisy red-faced, where can there be the demeanor of a court official?! ”

As soon as these words came out, the noise suddenly stopped.

The officials who quarreled the most fiercely were like old geese with their necks pinched, their faces were flushed, but they couldn't spit out a word for a long time.

Seeing this, the anger in Emperor Jin An's eyes dissipated slightly, he paused, and his voice was still low: "Chen Guo is a country of friends and neighbors, for such bad news, I naturally can't say nothing, you Aiqing, for this matter, is anyone willing to take the initiative to share my worries?" ”

As soon as the words fell, the officials looked at each other, and most of them hesitated at this time.

It was as if the foot had taken root, and it couldn't get out of a single step.

Seeing this, Emperor Jin An pursed his lips and no longer asked for their opinions, and appointed a candidate from them.

"Han Qing, are you willing to share your worries for me?"

People sit at home, and pots come from heaven.

The head of the Han family, who was hit by the 'trap', didn't dare to hesitate, knelt on the ground without any hesitation, touched the cold marble ground with his forehead, and shouted: "It is a blessing for Weichen to be able to share his worries for His Majesty!" ”

Hearing this, Emperor Jin An's face softened, and he couldn't help nodding in his heart.

Immediately, Emperor Jin An issued an edict: "For the funeral of friendly neighbors, Han Aiqing will be the main envoy and go to the tomb of Emperor Chen to mourn." ”

As soon as the words fell, the head of the Han family immediately kowtowed and responded: "Weichen has the order." ”

……

Chen Guo's funeral was completely settled.

But the Great Jin Dynasty did not stop because of this.

Within a few days, Zhao Li, who was investigating the truth about the shipwreck, brought back a corpse that had been eaten by fish and shrimp and could no longer see the original appearance clearly.

When the news spread, the mood of both royal officials and ordinary people was very low.

Zhao Li didn't want to make a big noise.

But somehow, the news suddenly spread to everyone, and before he had time to react, it was impossible to intercept it.

In this regard, Zhao Li was very helpless.

As a last resort, he transported the unknown corpse to Shangjing overnight and handed a post to the palace asking to see him.

It's really because this corpse is too much like the prince of the East Palace.

Whether it is the body shape or the dress, it is simply carved out of the same mold as the prince of the East Palace.

Zhao Li couldn't tell the difference, so he could only look to the person closest to the prince of the East Palace in this world.

- Emperor Jin An.

Only in this way can the identity of the person be confirmed in the shortest possible time.

After learning the news, Emperor Jin Anhuang staggered, his eyes were suddenly gray, his temples had more gray hair, and he was almost instantly more than ten years old, and he was helped to the side hall.

Looking at the stretcher that was placed in the center of the main hall.

Looking at the corpse covered with a white cloth on the stretcher.

Looking at the patterns on the corners of the clothes exposed under the white cloth.

For a while, Emperor Jin An didn't dare to approach.

He vaguely remembered that the prince did have such clothes.

It was still a regular dress that was produced overnight by the Shangyi Bureau before the southward parade.

But how could that person really be the prince?

Sensing the abnormal tremor of Emperor Jin'an's facial muscles, Yuan Yi was worried: "Your Majesty, if you can't bear it, why don't you let the old slave take a look?" ”

"Don't go." Emperor Jin An muttered, "No one is allowed to go." ”

After hearing this, Yuan Yi didn't dare to say anything more.

At this time, I saw Emperor Jin An suddenly look at Zhao Li, and there was a dark and unclear light in his eyes, hiding the murderous intent, but he asked patiently: "Zhao Qing has already investigated?" ”

"It wasn't carefully examined." Zhao Li paused and replied: "The body was found in the lower reaches of the Yan River, according to insiders, on the day of the shipwreck, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was dressed in this outfit, but Wei Chen was not sure of the identity of this person, and he did not dare to offend His Royal Highness the Prince, so he did not have an autopsy. ”

If this person is not, everything is easy to say.

If this person is, then he Zhao Li will not be able to escape a charge of offending the royal family.

Therefore, the autopsy can only be done by Emperor Jin An.
