Chen Yi hadn't slept when he got the news, and he was so restless that he couldn't sleep all night.

"Lord, Your Majesty is gone."

Chen Yi's body was shocked, and he almost couldn't stand steadily, and he was supported by a maid beside him.

Although I have been mentally prepared for this for a long time, I still don't know what to do when it comes to the end.

This overwhelm comes from family affection and the future.

"What did my father say when he was dying?"

The eunuch hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty will pass the throne to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the prince will make a decision as soon as possible." ”

Chen Yi's body shook again, this result is not unexpected, if the old emperor can live for two more years, maybe he will be able to make a good choice. But he didn't have much time, so he had to do it.

Chen Yi didn't go to the palace for the first time, paced around the courtyard, and finally made up his mind.

"Go and intercept King An and King Ji, let them come here, and have a big matter to discuss."

The news of the old emperor's death gradually spread, and the nobles of the palace and the ministers rushed to the palace one after another. Everyone is not good-looking, everyone knows that only the old emperor of Chen Guo can suppress it, if he is not there, it means that chaos will appear.

Chen Jin was the second to arrive, kneeling beside the old emperor's bed and crying, when Xu Yi finished reading the edict, Chen Jin cried louder and more sadly, as if he wanted to cry himself to death.

Next came Wen Zhong Fei Qing and the ministers.

Xu Yi read the edict again, Wen Zhong and Fei Qing looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.

According to their understanding of the old emperor, no one will choose the prince, firstly because the prince is old, and secondly, because he is really mediocre in ability and is not good as an emperor. What's more, Chen Jin is now worried about domestic and foreign troubles, and Chen Jin does not have the ability.

But there is an edict here, and there is a personal admission of the seventh princess, no one will doubt it, and immediately many ministers began to sing praises and express their loyalty.

Chen Jin smiled, wiped away the tears on his face, and became radiant again.

"My father died, and the heavens and the earth were sad, so please don't talk nonsense."

The ministers relented a little.

The harem concubines cried hoarsely in front of the emperor's bed, and the ministers also cried, and the ranks became larger and larger, and the eunuchs were still in the city of Mandu to inform until all the officials came to the palace and knelt inside and out.

Chen Guo does not pay attention to the ritual of kneeling, but if the emperor dies, it is natural to kneel.

Soon, white cloths were hung in the palace and even all parts of the capital, and the sound of crying shook the capital and woke up Chen Guo at four o'clock in the morning.

The country cannot be without a king for a day, and when the sky is slightly bright, the servant of the ministry said: "Please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to succeed to the new emperor to calm the world." ”

"Please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to succeed him." The ministers chanted together, how much of it was true and how much it was false, and how much it was perfunctory, it is not known.

Chen Jin's eyes were swollen from crying, he stood up tremblingly, and said in a hoarse voice: "This king will continue to guard the spirit of his father and succeed to the throne, Hugh Ti." ”

This is just rhetoric, and then, led by the servants of the ministry, the courtiers invited three times, and Chen Jin reluctantly agreed, and went to the Taihe Hall to ascend the throne surrounded by the ministers.

While walking on the road, Chen Jin summoned the palace guards who accompanied him.

"Closely monitor the gates of the palace, and the other three princes may take risks."

Everyone selectively ignored the fact that the other three princes were not present, and it was obvious that these three princes had a plan.

The commander of the Imperial Forest Army is called Chen Ke, and it can be guessed from his surname that this person is a member of the royal family. Indeed, he was the cousin of the old emperor.

Chen Jin summoned Chen Ke and said, "Uncle, please defend the gates of the palace, this king is worried about the city guards." ”

Chen Ke replied in a deep voice: "Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

All the way to the Taihe Palace, the flow of people was so bloated that Ling Hu Su followed Chen Jin's side, looking at him with a high-spirited face, as if he had already sat in a high position.

"Susu, forgive my brother, I wasn't very close to you before, and from now on, you will be my dearest person."

Chen Jin's mother was the former queen and died of illness early. Now, Su Liu is the queen, that is, his new mother, so with Su Liu behind him, he has to say good things to Linghu Su.

Ling Husu nodded silently, as if he was still immersed in sadness, he was actually very worried that the city guards would attack the palace. If this is the case, it will cause huge losses and will also damage Chen Guo's face.

In the middle of the journey, a eunuch hurried to him and shouted, "The rebels are coming." ”

"What's the matter? Make it clear? Chen Jin scolded angrily.

The eunuch stabilized his mind and knelt down to report: "The three princes are leading the city guards and are attacking the Xuanwu Gate, and the Royal Forest Army is in a hurry to respond to the battle, I'm afraid it won't be able to hold it." ”

The ministers were shocked and discussed. According to this, the Xuanwu Gate is recently, and if it is breached, the army will go straight to the palace.

But in fact, only some ministers were really surprised, and more ministers were secretly happy in their hearts, since ancient times, the strong have been respected, and there are not a few who have seized the throne by force, and they are more supportive of their princes.

Chen Jin panicked and hurriedly called out Chen Ke's name, and Ling Hu Su reminded him that Chen Ke had already been sent by him to guard the palace gate. However, it was a little late.

From here, it can be seen that Chen Jin's ability, if it were someone else, as early as the early hours of the morning, he would take over the command of the Imperial Forest Army and make it strictly defend the palace gates, instead of thinking about it later.

"Wen Xiang, Fei Xiang, what should I do?" Chen Jin had no idea in his heart and asked the two prime ministers.

Wen Zhong pondered for a while and replied: "The Imperial Forest Army is well-equipped and should be able to defend for a while, as long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince succeeds in ascending the throne, it will be able to stabilize the overall situation, and the city guards will break themselves." ”

Indeed, as long as Chen Jin ascends the throne, the city guards will attack again and it will become a capital crime. It's okay now, it's just a fight for the throne, and even if it fails, it won't be pursued more, only the commander.

Fei Qing continued: "What Wen Xiang said is extremely true, Your Highness, please go to the Taihe Hall to ascend the throne as soon as possible. ”

"Okay, everyone, speed up."

Chen Jin couldn't wait to ride a horse and galloped wildly, so hurriedly that he trotted like nothing.

Linghu Su didn't want Chen Jin to arrive at the Taihe Hall smoothly, once he succeeded in ascending the throne, everything would be a foregone conclusion.

At this moment, a large number of black-clothed people flew from all over the palace, they were all masters, and they stopped in front of the ministers, and their swords were very scary.

Chen Jin was furious and asked, "Where are the guards?" ”

Immediately, a large group of Ouchi guards flew out and fought with the man in black, and the sound of the weapon clash was crisp and deafening. Some ministers who know martial arts also join in to win attention in front of the new emperor.

Linghu Su was dumbfounded, he really came whatever he wanted.

Sideways head accidentally met Xu Yi's eyes, he blinked, so that Hu Su knew in his heart that this was his move, deliberately blocking Chen Jin's way and giving the three princes more time.

Chen Jin tried to bypass the battlefield, but there was always a fight in front of him, making it impossible for him to pass smoothly.

"What can I do!"

Chen Jin was so angry that he was about to vomit blood, and if he delayed for a while, there would be more danger, and once he was attacked by the city guards, he would be in trouble.

"Your Highness, please take a detour."

There is no way, you can only go around through the side door, although it will delay a lot of time, but this is no way.
