Chapter 32: The Eve of the National Sacrifice

After Ye Yunyi explained this, Tianshu also left to prepare.

Looking at the secret guards who were still busy in the camp, Ye Yunyi kept torturing himself in his heart whether it was right to do this.

As a person in later generations, he is accustomed to the changes he will face, but for people today, it will take a long time to accept.

Walking through the base camp of the Dark Pavilion again, and then looking at the buildings of the Dark Pavilion, Ye Yunyi thought as he walked.

In this way, Ye Yunyi stayed in the dark pavilion all night, quietly waiting for a new dawn to rise.

With the smoke rising from the imperial city in the morning, Ye Yunyi sorted out the plain court clothes he had just received, and slowly stepped on the main hall of the Chu State.

It has been more than a month since the death of Emperor Chu, and during the period when Ye Yunyi escorted grain and grass to the frontier, under the disputes between the remaining factions, the aftermath of Emperor Chu has been delayed until now.

And the debate over the succession to the throne among several ministers has reached the point of fire and water.

If it weren't for Ye Yunyi's old royal faction and completely hollowing out the power of the entire royal family, the succession to the throne might not be decided by a few civil servants.

However, people are like this, as long as there is no one on his head to hold him down, then his self-confidence will quickly swell, and his ambition will jump out until he gets carried away.

Without the royal family, several ministers are choosing the successor to the throne who they think is the most suitable for their own interests.

The faction led by the elder of the Taige, Fang He, saw that the queen mother had no intention of ascending to the throne, so they hit the idea on the several imperial relatives of the right age who had been imprisoned before.

even did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to sell Deadpool, in a vain attempt to take the opportunity to rob the prison, and at the same time constantly wooed the officials of the Xing Prison Division.

However, led by Xie Shuran, he strongly advocated for Prince Ping to ascend the throne.

Sometimes Ye Yunyi really couldn't figure it out, not long ago, outside the gate of the imperial city, Xie Shuran was still confronting Prince Heping in the air.

He was almost about to kill Xie Shuran, but he didn't expect that now he would support Prince Ping's accession to the throne.

And due to the recent turmoil in the imperial city, the officials of several state capitals are also restless, and there is a great momentum of mercenaries standing on their own.

You must know that there are only thirteen state capitals in the Chu State, except for the four border prefectures directly stationed and guarded by the border army, and the three surrounding states directly managed by the imperial city, the remaining five states are not easy to control.

The last remaining state is Xihai Prefecture, a fief managed by Prince Ping himself, which has always been barren, and the land of Chu that the overseas country drove pirates to try to get their hands on this time happened to be Xihai Prefecture.

It is said that it is the fief of Prince Ping, but it is only nominal. The reason why Emperor Taizu did not kill Prince Ping when he cleaned up his brothers and sisters at the beginning.

In addition to Prince Ping's intercession with the Empress Dowager at that time, it was also because Taizu had always detained Prince Ping in the imperial city.

Prince Ping has not been put back in the fief at all, so Prince Ping has been living a drunken life in order to survive all these years, which is why he has survived to this day.

If it is not handled well, it is very likely that the imperial court will really become an empty shell, and several state capitals will stand on their own.

Therefore, when this change was carried out, all the dark blades that could be sent out were sent out, and the main officials of several state capitals were temporarily controlled by extraordinary means.

This time, Ye Yunyi can only complete the initial goal in a very short period of time, that is, to separate the imperial power into an established fact.

Ye Yunyi, who stepped into the Chu State Council Hall step by step, did not attract the attention of the ministers who had already arrived early.

The few ministers in place are inconsequential ministers like the Governing Department and the Financial Secretary.

And none of the ministers of the Taige arrived, after all, as today's home field, it will only look solemn if it appears at the end.

Ye Yunyi was so low-key that he walked to the position of an exclusive civil official, and honestly waited for that moment to come, and his inconspicuous role did not attract the attention of those present.

Today, he wanted to see what kind of means these ministers had, and what kind of competition would be staged in this hall before Emperor Chu's coffin was parked.

Then several officials came in one after another, each finding their own position, but they didn't speak, and the atmosphere was depressing and terrible.

After all, the bones of Emperor Chu and Chu Mian are still parked, and if they don't come up with a plan that convinces everyone, I'm afraid they won't be able to say it.

And Ye Yunyi was busy meeting the imperial city before, just for today's game.

And when he just entered the city, he encountered a message from Queen Qin Luoyao, even if he didn't say it explicitly, it was probably to inform himself of this matter.

Xin Hao, there is no mistake in his time estimation, the reason why he chose to escort grain and grass before was not only to solve some problems of the border army, but also to paralyze a few Taige elders.

In the thoughts of several Taige elders, even if they solved the rebellion of Uncle Chu with one hand, and their power was amazing, they were the pavilion masters of the Dark Pavilion after all, and they would not take the initiative to meddle in the affairs of the imperial court.

It was precisely because they had this point in mind that they directly excluded Ye Yunyi's side when deciding on the heir to the throne.

Ye Yunyi also happened to be counting, just in time, just in the next few days.

After a while, the officials of various departments had almost arrived, and there was already Xiao Xu's discussion below.

The court meeting of the state of Chu divided the officials into four teams, and the middle was the team of civil officials in charge of the inner court, and the person in charge was Xie Shuran.

The team on the right is a team of military attachés, which was originally in charge of several old Chu uncles of the Imperial Division who were imprisoned before, Ye Yunyi's father Ye Beijiang should have stood at the forefront of this team, but because he was not in the imperial city all the year round, he did not set up a special position in Ye Beijiang over the years.

The two teams on the left are the Prison Division and the Finance Division.

The teams of the four official teams are basically divided into one faction, but the previous forces have been reshuffled, and now they are basically led by the civil official faction of the Taige.

After a few quarters of an hour, Xie Shuran walked into the main hall leisurely with a few subordinate officials, you must know that in recent days, he Xie Shuran can be said to be the most powerful person in the entire Chu State.

So for today's court meeting, he also calculated that he would definitely be able to put Prince Ping on the throne, and basically no one could compete with him, even if he was a little reluctant to do so.

But as a traditional Confucian student, if he does not adhere to his consistent Confucian principles, it is tantamount to slapping himself in the face.

Besides, even if Prince Ping is put on the throne, the Confucian civil official faction represented by himself can still grasp the power, and Prince Ping has no foundation in the court.

In this way, the advantages still outweigh the disadvantages, and his own department has been suppressed by the old school before, and now it has finally come out.

So now Xie Shuran felt that he had an unreal feeling, as if the entire Chu State was in his hands.

These days I have been busy dealing with all kinds of things, and since there is no Chu Huang and the old school, I am more comfortable dealing with it by myself, Xie Shuran thought so.

But when Xie Shuran stepped into the main hall and saw Ye Yunyi, who was already standing in the team belonging to his own family, he suddenly felt bad.

After all, what he is doing now is being done without Ye Yunyi, Xie Shuran has always thought that Ye Yunyi will not be able to come back for the time being, and he can do all this with peace of mind.

But now Ye Yunyi is standing in front of him, saying that it is not embarrassing, everything is fake.

Now it's time to do it s
