"Your Highness." Someone shouted, but after shouting, he didn't know what to say, and was silent for a moment before he spoke again, "Your Majesty, he ...... What to do? ”

When ordinary people die, they have to do things after they die, let alone the king of a country. Of course, the Ministry of Rites is not vegetarian, what to do about the monarch's funeral, there is a set of inheritance processes, whether it is the queen or the prince, they need to appear in the position where this funeral should appear.

Maybe it can be said more bluntly, who is the next king? Emperor Mingzong only set up one prince, but the prince is deceased, who will sit in this seat?

"Ladies and gentlemen," Princess An Le said, standing on the steps in front of the palace gate, scanning the crowd in the square, "why do you think this palace can appear here with the forbidden army?" ”

Yes, after His Majesty's accident, in addition to the few officials present, it was Princess An Le who arrived first, and then fought with the assassins. No, it can't be said that of course Princess An Le can't fight with the assassins, it is the forbidden army guards she brought, which is also the only team of officers and soldiers in the imperial city who can enter and exit freely. Because the forbidden army has always only listened to the movement of the Son of Heaven. It is an unthinkable thing for a princess to mobilize the forbidden army.

Someone glanced around the forbidden army, and soon found a square-eyed officer and soldier in it.

"Zhang Huai!" He shouted.

This is the deputy commander of the forbidden army in the palace, and he is also the person who can really call the shots in the forbidden army on duty in the palace today.

The officers and soldiers came out of the ranks, raised their hands and saluted, then got up and looked at the person who called him: "My lord, what is the matter?" ”

The adult who spoke up also asked the confusion of everyone present in one sentence: "Why did your forbidden army obey the princess's dispatch?" ”

The deputy commander of the forbidden army named Zhang Huai said: "Her Royal Highness the princess holds the jade seal in her hand, which is equivalent to the Son of Heaven, and we will naturally obey her orders." ”

What the? Decree?

There was an uproar, and everyone looked at the princess who stood at the top of the steps and looked down in amazement, the princess was still the princess, but it seemed to be different from the impression of the cute and honest princess in the original memory, and the momentum was compelling.

"There is a jade seal in the palace, so it is natural to ......"

"Joke!"

"Joke!"

Almost at the same time, the two voices sounded only slightly staggered one after another, and the officials in the square turned around, only to see two columns of people coming towards this side at this time.

It was late at night, and almost all of them had torches in their hands when the two columns of men and horses came, and they looked like long dragons from a distance, and they looked quite imposing.

The chaotic crowd in the square also consciously gave way to a rather spacious avenue for the two columns of men and horses at this time, and everyone was not surprised that the people who came with the men and horses at the head were not surprised.

It was Li Dan, the king of Qin, and Li Luo, the king of Wu.

Li Li, the king of Jin who went out of Beijing as a hostage, was not in Beijing at this time, otherwise he must have made up for this excitement.

At this time, the expressions of the two highnesses were very subtle, probably all the way, but unexpectedly a roadblock rushed out of it, and this roadblock was still a person who had never thought of it before, which was really a little aggrieved.

"It's naturally not surprising that the imperial sister can get the jade seal." Li Dan, King of Qin, was the first to speak.

Li Luo followed and said: "After all, the imperial sister is in the palace, and she was the first to arrive after her father's accident." ”

It can be said that they are worthy of being brothers, and at this moment they seem to have reached some kind of tacit understanding, and they opened their mouths to Princess Anle. And what this said is really profound, and even a little heart-wrenching.

What does it mean to say that Princess An Le was the first to arrive, and it is not strange to have the jade seal in her hand? Naturally, it alludes to Princess An Le taking the opportunity to steal the jade seal, which is not justified.

The ministers were in an uproar, obviously as soon as these words came out, many people had a lot of complaints in their hearts, after all, His Majesty had only favored Princess Anle with a daughter's attitude before, and in addition, he did not show the idea of wanting Princess Anle to take over that position. Princess An Le is holding a jade seal, and most people feel that the way is not right.

"Ridiculous!" Princess An Le said coldly, "Does the imperial brother still have to say that the palace is colluding with the assassins in order to be the first to arrive?" ”

"This ......" Qin King Li Dan glanced at Li Luo, the smile on his face was subtle, with a little provocation, "It's hard to say!" ”

The atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

"It's not." A "no" interjects at this point.

Who? At this time, it's too late to hide and jump out? Everyone followed the prestige and saw the person who spoke out: Zhang Huai!

It's him! Everyone was stunned for a moment, but then they looked at him in surprise: The deputy commander of the forbidden army spoke out at this time, could it be that Princess Anle really has a big hole card in her hand?

"The princess came with the jade seal by the king's order at the beginning of the Mao period." Zhang Huai's voice was neither humble nor arrogant, and his tone was calm, "Your Majesty happened in Chenshi." ”

What does it mean that the princess has a jade seal when she is young? That is to say, His Majesty gave the jade seal to the princess before his death.

Everyone's faces changed greatly, and some people immediately bent their legs and wanted to kneel down, but they heard someone shout: "Slow! ”

The official who spoke out should be Li Luo, the king of Wu, he glanced at Li Luo and said loudly: "What about His Majesty's orders before his death?" The princess is in the palace, and there is something urgent, and His Majesty has no time to say more, so he will temporarily transfer the jade seal to the princess to mobilize the forbidden army, why not? ”

"Confused!" As soon as the clinker's voice fell, he was interrupted, and it was an old minister who spoke, and his body trembled and said urgently, "If there is an urgent order, Your Majesty's belongings are fine." But that's the jade seal! Jade! ”

The jade seal is not the same as the object next to it, the jade seal is ordered by heaven, that is the thing that the Son of Heaven can only control, how can it be given indiscriminately?

"That's not easy to say, take other things, will the forbidden army obey the princess's orders?" The staff member's face was ugly, and when he saw that someone's expression had begun to loosen, he asked again, "Then there is a clear and iron law, and the jade seal cannot be handed over to others for the time being?" "It's a bit of a deliberate provocation.

But even if he knew that this person was deliberately picking on thorns, others still couldn't find a fault, there was indeed no clear iron law, and the matter of jade seal was a convention in everyone's hearts, but it was untenable to dig into the roots.

As soon as he opened his head, then another official spoke: "There is a historical record, more than two hundred years ago, in order to get rid of the rebels, my great Chu Mingwei Emperor lent the jade seal to the left minister at that time to lure the enemy, and the left minister mobilized the forbidden army to get rid of the rebels. According to what you said, wouldn't that Zuo Xiang be able to hold the jade seal and become the Son of Heaven at that time? The official said, throwing down his sleeves angrily, "No matter how noble the jade seal is, isn't it too ridiculous to determine the Son of Heaven with a jade seal?" ”

"That's right," someone said, turning his head to look at Zhang Huai, "Zhang Huai, why did the princess move the forbidden army?" ”

Zhang Huai's expression did not change: "Your Majesty lured the enemy with your body, and Her Royal Highness the Princess mobilized the forbidden army to escort and wait for the opportunity to ambush the assassin." ”

"That's it." Or the official who took Emperor Mingwei as an example before answered, and smiled, "How similar is the princess's move to Emperor Mingwei's left, but the result is ......" It's just that the result is different, Emperor Mingwei succeeded, but His Majesty died, and the assassin ran away, which is just a failure.

There was a commotion among the crowd, with whispers, wind, and low laughter mingling. Although the official was suspected of deliberately harshly reprimanding, it is true that a jade seal alone is not enough to convince the public!

"It's not just the jade seal." Zhang Huai spoke again, the commotion gradually subsided, and the ministers looked at him in surprise, what did Zhang Huai mean by this?
