Chapter 600: The Supreme Decree
The body of the Supreme is placed in the coffin, and the next step is the handling of the funeral, the holding of the state funeral, and the determination of the person who will inherit the Supreme.
Chu Chen arranged the defense of Yulinwei, and after saying goodbye to King Pingxi, he took King Jiangnan to his other courtyard to stay.
Originally, the royal family had arrangements, and when King Jiangnan and King Pingxi came to Yanjing, there would definitely be a high-standard reception.
However, for the sake of convenience, King Jiangnan decided to live in Chu Chen's other courtyard.
When he arrived at the other courtyard, King Jiangnan retreated left and right, and chatted with Chu Chen for a while, mainly discussing the next issue of the prince's struggle for the throne.
Now Chu Chen's attitude is very clear, supporting Second Highness Ye Lixue.
King Jiangnan also agreed with Chu Chen, saying, "Next, the funeral of the Supreme is estimated to have a lot of things."
"Now the princes are competing for the chairman of the funeral committee."
Chu Chen said.
King Jiangnan said: "Presiding over the funeral committee will have a great bonus to the next battle for the throne, and every prince will fight for it."
"Now the eldest prince and the second prince are both popular candidates."
Chu Chen immediately said.
King Jiangnan nodded, and asked again, "By the way, did the Supreme Majesty leave a testament before he died?"
Chu Chen said: "I haven't heard that this time the Supreme was found to be seriously ill, and within a few days of his death, it is estimated that the incident happened suddenly, and he has not yet made an edict."
King Jiangnan said: "Whether there is an edict or not, it is very important, you have to find a way to confirm this matter, there is one thing, there is no other thing, the methods and means of dealing with it are different."
Chu Chen nodded and said, "I understand, grandpa, it's not too early, you're tired of traveling, why don't you go and rest first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow."
King Jiangnan nodded.
Chu Chen immediately asked Wu Da to arrange for the king of Jiangnan to rest.
After arranging for the King of Jiangnan to rest, Chu Chen immediately made a phone call to the second prince, Ye Lixue.
I want to inquire about the edict.
"Hey, Second Highness, I have something very important to confirm with you."
As soon as the phone rang, Chu Chen said.
Ye Lixue heard Chu Chen say that it was a "very important" matter, and immediately said solemnly, "What is it?"
"Edict, the Supreme can leave an edict before his death, designating who will inherit his position."
"Edict? I haven't heard much about it, but Supreme's illness came suddenly, and maybe he hasn't even thought about it yet. I'm not sure about the specifics, I have to ask Commander Ye, before the Supreme was alive, Commander Ye and the Supreme were the closest."
"Okay, I'll check with Commander Ye."
Chu Chen immediately hung up the phone.
Thinking of this, it was extremely important, and he turned back to the palace directly.
Ye Feng is the commander of the Praetorian Guard, in today's situation, the busiest person is no exception, it must be him, who is still in charge of guarding the Dragon Raising Hall at this time.
When Chu Chen saw Ye Feng, he immediately walked up.
Ye Feng saw Chu Chen coming, and immediately asked, "Commander Chu, there is something."
Chu Chen nodded and said, "Commander Ye, I have something to ask you, take a step to speak."
Ye Feng realized that Chu Chen might have something, looked around, and immediately nodded.
The two walked to a corner outside the Dragon Raising Palace.
Chu Chen asked in a low voice, "The Supreme went suddenly, can Commander Ye know if the Supreme has left an edict?"
When Ye Feng heard Chu Chen's words, he immediately raised his eyes to look at Chu Chen.
He didn't speak either.
Just stared at Chu Chen.
The matter of the edict is too crucial.
No one can afford to ask lightly.
Moreover, this is absolutely confidential.
Seeing that Ye Feng didn't speak for a long time, Chu Chen felt a little serious, and said, "Did you make an edict?"
Ye Feng said, "Commander Chu, this is an internal matter of the imperial family, do you know that you have crossed the line?"
Chu Chen said, "Commander Ye, the edict is related to the future of the Tang Kingdom, I hope that Commander Ye can be open and honest with me."
Ye Feng frowned.
Consider Chu Chen
Words.
Now that the princes are about to seize the throne, the Overlord is eyeing him.
The only person who can rely on is Chu Chen.
But the matter of the edict is too important.
In terms of his duties, it must not be revealed.
However, now he can't help but rely on Chu Chen.
Ye Feng had a hard time making this decision.
Moreover, the matter of the edict was told to Chu Chen, and he might not have any impact.
"Commander Ye, you should know the situation in Yanjing now, hesitation will only have serious consequences."
Chu Chen continued.
Ye Feng said, "You let me think again."
Chu Chen nodded.
He immediately stepped aside and waited for Ye Feng.
The edict is indeed crucial.
If the Supreme does make an edict, then according to the regulations of the Tang Kingdom, as long as it is announced, the designated person will be the legitimate heir.
No matter how much effort the princes tried before, it was useless, unless they openly disobeyed.
If the Supreme really made an edict, and the candidate on the edict was not the second prince.
That's a bad situation.
At this time, Ye Tianba had already returned to the Overlord Mansion.
Sitting in a wheelchair, he also thought of this question and said, "Is there any information in the palace, do you know if the Supreme made an edict before he died?"
Ye Fan frowned and said, "Father, the death of the Supreme is too sudden, will it be too late?"
Wang Tiance said, "I haven't received any information here, and I really haven't heard of it."
Ye Tianba also didn't hear that the Supreme had made an edict.
After all, there was no problem with the Supreme's body before, and under normal circumstances, the Supreme could sit in that position for at least ten more years.
But Ye Tianba was still not at ease, gritted his teeth, and said, "Immediately go all out to collect information, and you must make sure that the Supreme did not make an edict before his death, and if so, you must determine who it is." Only when we have accurate information can we make appropriate countermeasures."
Wang Tiance immediately received the order, picked up his mobile phone, and sent a text message to convey: "Urgent task, mission focus, inquire whether the Supreme has made an edict, and if so, you must confirm who the person specified in the edict is."
The female cadre in the palace who was installed in the palace received the order and immediately began to investigate.
Ye Tianba immediately took a deep breath.
Unfortunately, it was not ready.
It's a pity that Chu Chen has mastered Yu Linwei, otherwise, there would be no need for so many things.
