Chapter 24: The Battle

Tian Quan didn't dare to talk much in front of Xiahou Yu, so he went to Du Hui in private, wanting Du Hui to help persuade Xiahou Yu: "...... I think that Yin Ping Kong is powerful, and he must also be a strong martial artist. But he was only one person after all. In case of a collision with the general, it is not a pity for us to die, how can we be worthy of the trust of Empress Wenxuan before her death? ”

The implication was that he was worried that Xiahou Yu would be angry and want to assassinate Lu Yuan.

The corners of Du Hui's mouth twitched slightly, feeling that Tian Quan was thinking too much.

Xiahou Yu is brave and strategic, even if he wants to assassinate Lu Yuan, he will not use such a simple and crude method.

But what Xiahou Yu had planned, she couldn't guess.

Du Hui appeased Tian Quan a few words and went to see Xiahou Yu.

Xiahou Yu ignored the concerns of Du Hui and the others.

On the day when Xiahou had the first seven days, she was dressed in white and went to the Tingzheng Palace.

According to Xiahou Yu's meaning, Lu Yuan invited the senior monks of Wancheng Temple to enter the palace, and successively made a water and land dojo for Xiahou Youdao for 7749 days, which will be more grand every seven days. The incense and candles are curling, and the sound of Buddha chanting is dignified and solemn.

But how many of these people present were really sad about Adi's death?

Xiahou Yu turned a blind eye, walked through the venue of the ceremony with a blank face, and gave Xiahou Youdao three sticks of incense as usual.

The new monarch has not yet ascended the throne, Lu Yuan does not dare to leave the palace, he has not slept well for a few days, and his eyebrows are tired.

Seeing Xiahou Yu stepping forward, he stepped forward to greet Xiahou Yu: "Eldest princess!" ”

The attitude was even gentler than usual.

Is this because the wish is about to come true?

Xiahou Yu sneered in his heart.

She nodded indifferently at Lu Yuan and stepped aside, ready to continue copying scriptures for Xiahou Youdao.

Lu Yuan wanted to speak and stopped, and then couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Xiahou Yu has given people a sense of yin and yang since Xiahou Youdao died of illness, she can keep her promise not to participate in the affairs of the prince, and the rest, wait for the new monarch to ascend the throne.

Lu Yuan walked out of the main hall.

Xie Danyang looked at it but secretly frowned.

He sent people to guard the city gate, and Xiao Huan has not moved until now.

Xiahou Yu's uncle Zheng Fen got the letter and was rushing to the capital, but it would take at least half a month to come back, and the flowers and yellow cabbage would be cold by then...... Is Xiahou Yu reliable?

Xie Danyang scratched his head.

Two hours later, the ministers of civil and military affairs arrived. Xiahou Yu was invited out, and the ministers worshipped Xiahou Youdao under the leadership of Lu Yuan. Then Lu Yuan invited the ministers to speak in the side hall: "It has been seven days since the death of the Son of Heaven, but the new monarch has not yet been established. A kingdom shall not be without a king for a day. We'll have to get the new king settled as soon as possible. ”

He stood beside the dragon chair, looking condescendingly at the ministers in the hall, his eyes flashing with a dark light.

Xie Danyang did not agree to announce the candidate of the new monarch just after the funeral of the Son of Heaven, so he postponed it for four days as Xie Danyang intended. But in the past four days, he has not been idle, and has been talking to the courtiers who have come to worship to determine the position of these people. He was already sure that his proposal would be approved and approved by everyone smoothly today.

As Lu Yuan expected, as soon as his words fell, someone immediately echoed him.

Lu Yuan smiled slightly.

Someone looked at Xie Danyang.

Xie Danyang lowered his eyelids, unable to see joy and sorrow.

Without Xiao Huan's support, it would be impossible for him and Xiahou Yu to succeed, and he also postponed the decision to support the new monarch for four days according to Xiahou Yu's request, and then, it was up to Xiahou Yu.

It was impossible for him to stand up and compete with Lu Yuan in this situation.

Those who looked at Xie Danyang couldn't help but show disappointment.

Lu Yuan was full of ambition and said with a smile: "If you don't have anything else to say, then please Shangshutai announce the list of candidates for the new monarch." ”

There are rules for the succession of the throne.

The father dies and the son succeeds, and the brother dies and the brother dies. These are the two most basic rules.

Now the most qualified to inherit the throne are Xiahou Youyi, the king of the East China Sea, and Xiahou Youfu, the king of Langyu.

The ministers had a lot of discussions, some people recommended Xiahou Youyi, and some people recommended Xiahou Youfu.

The two ministers who had been instructed by Lu Yuan glanced at each other, and one of them walked out and said in a loud voice: "I am against the establishment of the King of the East Sea and the King of Langyu. ”

When they heard this, they all looked at the minister in amazement.

There was a brief silence in the hall.

The minister said in a loud voice: "Although it is said that the brother is the last brother, whether it is the king of the East China Sea or the king of Langyu, they are too young, and it is not fair to say whether they can stand up." Speaking of this, he glanced at Xiahou Youdao's coffin, implying that Xiahou Youdao had been the emperor for four years, but in the end he still didn't live past the age of fourteen, "Gentlemen, don't forget what happened when Emperor Wen of Beiliang." ”

Before Emperor Wen of Northern Liang inherited the throne, two brothers died, and these two brothers died of illness after only two or three years of being emperors.

Some courtiers agreed, and talked about Gu Xia's appointment as the Great Sima by Emperor Wen of Northern Liang.

For a time, there was a lot of discussion between the court and China, and the topic shifted from the establishment of the emperor to how to resist the invasion of the north.

Lu Yuan glanced at the other courtier.

This courtier stood up and said, "I think we should establish the king of the West Sea." ”

The King of the West Sea had neither age nor any advantage in bloodline, and there were immediately objections.

And the courtier contended with those who were opposed.

In the end, it was Lu Huai who scolded the two of them to calm down.

Lu Huai said: "I also think that the king of the West Sea should be established." ”

Many people looked at Xie Danyang.

Lu Huai is Lu Yuan's younger brother, and many times what he says represents Lu Yuan's meaning.

Why hasn't Xiao Huan arrived yet?

Xie Danyang was anxious, but his expression couldn't reveal half a point.

He could not agree at this timeβ€”on such occasions, what he said was to be loud and unrepentant. Even if he waited for Xiao Huan to rush over, he couldn't defect on the spot.

This is the promise of being a man!

It is also the foundation of Liren!

Lu Yuan and Xie Danyang have been fighting for almost decades, Xie Danyang's unwillingness and forced helplessness, Lu Yuan can see it clearly at this time. How could he give Xie Danyang a chance to regret it?

"Then let's establish the King of the West Sea!" He glanced at Xie Danyang coldly, and said in a deep voice, "Although the King of the West Sea is not very old, he is the person who is closest to the bloodline of the Martial Sect except for the King of the East Sea and the King of Langyu, plus he grew up outside the palace and is strong and strong......."

"I disagree!" Xiahou Yu, who was supposed to rest in the side hall, didn't know when he appeared at the door of the hall.

The midday sun fell straight down on the roof, and her face was hidden under the gloomy eaves, and her expression was not clear.

But her upright posture and sonorous voice can make people feel her determination.

"I don't agree with the establishment of the King of the West Sea as the emperor." Xiahou Yu said again, "There is no reason to abandon the side branches. I would never agree to it! ”

Lu Yuan frowned, a trace of anger flashing in his eyes.

He said: "The eldest princess of Jinling, this is a matter of the temple. Please also ask the eldest princess to avoid it! ”

Xiahou Yu looked up at Lu Yuan, and his indifferent eyebrows suddenly became sharp: "The Son of Heaven has no family affairs but has a clan, why can't I ask?" ”
