"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty the First Emperor, the dragon is in the sky."

The next day, seeing that the CRRC Mansion had not left the Funing Hall for a long time, he had the courage to enter the hall, and then walked out in horror.

He was busy sending someone to find Queen Ji Ko.

When Prince Heng and Wu Ji entered the Funing Hall again, what they saw was Qingji lying on the dragon couch, with a peaceful look on his face, covered with a futon, and looked like he was dead.

"Father!"

"Imperial grandfather!"

Neither of them expected it to be so sudden, and they couldn't help but kneel, very sad.

"Queen Mother, when Erchen and Wu Ji saw their father last night, my father was still in good shape, why did he die?"

Ji Ko took a handkerchief, wiped his tears, and sighed faintly: "Heng'er, your father's body is not as good as it is every day, and it is reasonable to die suddenly."

"When he summoned you last night, did he tell you what happened?"

"This ......"

Prince Heng and Wu Ji glanced at each other.

If it is said that Qingji confessed anything before his death, it should be about the imperial examination system and the Tui En Order.

Due to the haste of the incident, this caught both Prince Heng and Wu Ji by surprise.

Wu Ji frowned and said, "Father, imperial grandmother, now that the imperial grandfather is dead, the people of the government and the opposition will inevitably fluctuate."

"Father must not pity himself, he should take the world as his own responsibility, keep the mourning secret, and wait until the situation is under control, and then announce the death of the emperor's grandfather, and then mourn for the emperor's grandfather, hold a state funeral, and inherit the throne."

At this important moment of the transition of power, this is what a soon-to-be-succeeded prince should do.

Prince Heng also knew this, so he set his eyes on Ji Ko's body and asked, "Queen Mother, how many people know about the death of their father now?"

"Except for you, me, Ji'er, and Jiao Slip, they are the palace ladies and temple people who serve in this Funing Palace."

Hearing this, Prince Heng was relieved and said to Jiao Slip: "Jiao Slip, you sent someone to put all the people of Gong'e Temple in Funing Hall under house arrest and strictly guard them. No one is allowed to leave the Funing Hall without my hand."

"No!"

Jiao Slip immediately agreed.

After Qingji's death, Prince Heng became the master of the empire and his new master.

"Queen Mother, all the seals and tiger talismans of my father's emperor are still in the Zide Palace?"

"Yes."

"Can you leave it to your son?"

"Your father is gone, and those things are yours, so why do you need to say the word 'trusteeship'?"

"Okay."

The crown prince Hengxuan immediately instructed Wu Ji to take all the seals and tiger talismans of Qingji, including the jade seal of the country, and then give orders.

Mobilize the Red Flame Army from the large camp outside the imperial capital, as well as the East Palace Guards to enter the palace to guard, and at the same time, the defenders of Jinling City changed their defenses, so as to ensure their absolute control of the imperial capital Jinling.

……

The movement of the Imperial Praetorian Guard to change the guard is not small, and it cannot be hidden.

Even the palace guards have been replaced by the East Palace Guards and the Red Flame Army, how can this kind of thing be hidden from others?

The subjects living in the imperial capital Jinling all had a bad premonition in their hearts.

Not to mention the East Palace Guards, the Red Flame Army is an elite division formed and trained by Prince Heng, and it also follows the imperial grandson Wu Ji to the west, and his loyalty is beyond doubt.

This is also something that Qingji acquiesces into.

He had already regarded Prince Heng as his successor, so it was understandable that the latter had a private army in case of emergency.

At this time, in the house of Gou Jian, the general of the left chariot, Gou Jian was in the study house to meet Wu Gao from the palace.

Wu Gao, who is a regular servant in the middle, is second only to the CRRC Mansion in the palace.

He is also the son of glue slippery.

If nothing else, Wu Gao will become the commander of the CRRC after the death of Jiao Slip.

It is worth mentioning that Kure Highland's name "

Zhao Gao", a side branch of the Yingqin clan, was in the middle of the family, and had to become a eunuch and serve in the palace.

In the assassination of Wu by Yu Zheng more than ten years ago, Wu Gao stepped forward and helped Qingji block a blow......

That blow didn't hurt Qingji, but for the sake of Wu Gao's loyalty and barely the ability to escort him, Qingji still entrusted him with a heavy responsibility and gave him a national surname.

What many people don't know is that Wu Gao is not a side branch of the Ying Qin clan, but the grandson of Qin Aigong.

His father and brother died in battle, died at the hands of Wu Jun, and his mother hanged herself, which made the young Wu Gao full of hatred for Wu Guo, so he learned from the pain and became a eunuch, just to lie dormant and wait for the opportunity to take revenge.

Now, their time seems ripe.

After Wu Gao saw Gou Jian, he told Gou Jian the news that Qingji had already controlled Bintian.

Gou Jian suddenly realized.

No wonder, the guards of the original palace and the Praetorian Guards of the imperial capital changed their guards at noon, and they were in such a hurry, without any warning in advance.

"Wu Gao, you immediately have people spread the news of His Majesty's death."

"Moreover, it is important to add oil and vinegar to the story of the death of His Majesty the First Emperor as a story of being killed by the crown prince and grandson, or even killed......

Gou Jian's face was full of ecstasy, and as he paced, he commanded, "Be quick. Spread it out as much as you can, so that everyone in the world knows about it!"

"Good!"

Wu Gao immediately left Gou Jian's mansion.

At the same time, Gou Jian also sent people to bring the dying old Lu Ming, as well as Yan Ying and Yi to discuss major matters.

After Gou Jian looked around for a week, he looked at Lu Ming and the others present, and could not hide the excitement in his heart, and said, "Second and third sons, I have been looking forward to it for more than 40 years, and finally let me look forward to it."

"The ancestral dragon died and divided. Qingji is dead, and the prince is not mourning, this is our opportunity."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but change color, which was indeed sensational news.

"Lord, is the news reliable?"

Yan Ying asked suspiciously.

"Absolutely. This news was told to me by Wu Gao, a regular attendant, and he will not deceive me, nor can he deceive me."

Gou Jian smiled and said, "This person has the same ambitions as me, and they all want to subvert Dawu and restore their homeland."

"What is the Lord going to do?"

Yan Ying asked, and then said, "Now the crown prince has changed the defense between the palace and the imperial capital with the help of the seal of the first emperor and the tiger talisman, and has been replaced by a general of his cronies, and he has completely controlled the situation in the imperial capital and the palace."

"As long as he reads the edict in front of the ministers, announces the death of the First Emperor, and then inherits the throne, it is a logical thing. No one can stop that."

Hearing this, Gou Jian glanced at Yan Ying and said slowly, "Can the crown prince control the imperial capital and people's hearts? Can you control public opinion?"

"According to Wu Gao, before Qingji died, he also met with the prince and grandson that night, and someone saw the sound of axes and candles in the Funing Palace, and Qingji also shouted "It's good to do it yourself"."

"The next day, early this morning, Qingji will be gone."

"If there's no catty in this, where can it be justified?"

"Even if the crown prince and the grandson did not kill Qingji, we will make a big fuss and spread this matter, so that the world will think that Qingji's death is inseparable from the prince and grandson!"

When the scheming Lu Ming heard this, he sighed and said, "My lord, with all due respect, even so, the prince, who has already controlled the overall situation, is still invincible."

"The emperor's power is very great, life and death are taken away, in a word, who dares not to obey?"

Gou Jian said meaningfully: "Lugong, don't forget, Qingji divided eighty vassal kings during his lifetime, and the soldiers, horses, money, and food he owned were incalculable."

"Not to mention anything else, among the vassal kings, Wu Fan and Wu Zhang, who are the most powerful, are still staying in Jinling, and the two have always been not close to the prince, if they know that Qingji's death is greasy, it may be that the prince is angry with Qingji, or even kill Qingji, how can they give up?"

"The feudal kings are in turmoil, the soldiers are rising again, and the lives are ruined, which is bound to destroy this great Wu country."

"At that time, I will ascend to the top of Huiji, and the remnants of the nobles in the homeland of the rest of the countries will definitely gather, and no matter how strong the national strength of Great Wu is, it will not be able to stop the invasion of the alliance of the vassal kings, let alone the rebel armies swarming from all over the country!"

"Da Yue Kingdom, restoration is hopeful!"
