And after Murong Ba heard this, he said angrily in public: "His Royal Highness is the crown prince, even if the emperor passes on the throne, he will only pass it to His Royal Highness, how can he pass the throne to Murong Ke for no reason, there must be some conspiracy in this." The father was originally strong-boned, how could he just say that he would leave, maybe this was what His Royal Highness did. ”

"Yes, the emperor died suddenly, this edict is also incredible, what the king of Dongjun said is not unreasonable, I think who this emperor will pass on to is really thoughtful." Someone said.

"This is the emperor's last words before his death, the old slave watched the emperor write with his own eyes, I don't believe you can see it, the emperor's handwriting will not be fake, right?" Saying that, Xu Ruhai passed the edict to everyone to read.

"Yes, this is the emperor's handwriting, I know it." Soon, everyone rushed to see it, and there was no doubt about it.

"Now, people won't suspect that there is something wrong with this edict, will they?" Xu Ruhai asked, and then looked at Murong Ke, who was facing danger.

"Even so, you can't pass the throne to Murong Ke like this, after all, the emperor made me the crown prince before his death, and according to the rules, I am the heir to the throne." Murong Ba argued with reason.

"Quick, the flying pigeon passed the book, just say that the emperor has died, the court has changed, let Xuan'er and General Luo return to Beijing as soon as possible!" Luo Yunfeng ordered his subordinates as soon as he learned the news, and then rushed to the Jinluan Palace.

At this time, the Jinluan Palace has been divided into two factions. One faction suggested that the emperor's funeral should be done first, after all, the emperor's dragon body is noble, and it should not be delayed, and the funeral should be solemn. The other faction suggested that the prince should be established immediately, and only by establishing a new emperor could the country be consolidated and the people's hearts reassured.

Seeing that everyone was arguing, as a senior with relatively old qualifications, he couldn't help but say: "Our subjects are deeply favored by the emperor, how can we abandon the emperor's dragon body at this moment." According to the old man's meaning, everyone is still relieved to talk about other things after the funeral. ”

Originally, everyone was about to echo it, but he didn't want Prime Minister Su to jump out, he glanced at Shangguan Taiwei, who seemed to be extremely disdainful, and then looked around at everyone: "A country, the most taboo group of dragons without a leader, the old man thinks that only by establishing a new emperor first, it is not too late to do other things." ”

"This ......" Shangguan Taiwei and Prime Minister Su Cheng are both veterans of the imperial court, and the words they say are extremely weighty, and everyone can't help but be silent when they see this.

"According to the palace, what Captain Shangguan said is extremely true. Now that the emperor has passed away, the whole country is grieving, how can everyone have something to talk about other matters here, if this is spread, won't it make people laugh and be generous. As he spoke, he couldn't help but glance at Prime Minister Su again.

In fact, the reason why the queen stood on the side of Captain Shangguan was not anything else, but her delaying tactics. At this moment, there are differences in the court on the issue of the new emperor, which means that her Xuan'er has a chance. At this time, as long as you recall your brother and Xuan'er from Biansai, and then use the power of the Luo family and the power of the court, I am afraid that it is not impossible for Murong Xuan to take the throne?

"What the queen said is very true." When everyone saw the queen speak, they naturally had no other opinions, and Prime Minister Su had to snort coldly.

At this time, everyone has their own ghosts in their hearts, although the establishment of the new emperor is delayed, but it is a matter of time, but I am afraid that it will be a bloody storm at that time.

Because the emperor died, the princes didn't realize that they had to guard the palace. Murong Ba took advantage of the panic and went back to the Dongjun Palace.

"Your Royal Highness, the emperor is dead, can you ascend the throne?" As soon as Ming An saw Murong Ba, he couldn't help but greet him.

"If that's the case, will His Highness have this expression?" Murong was so domineering that he threw out the wrench in his hand, and then said angrily: "Originally, when my father died, His Royal Highness was the most qualified to inherit the throne, but now it's good, I issued an edict for nothing, saying that I want to pass on the throne to Murong Ke, do you think His Royal Highness can not be angry?" ”

"How so?" Ming An was taken aback, and then said: "Your Highness, my subordinates feel that the emperor has died, and such an edict has come out, but I am afraid that there is something wrong with it." ”

"Hmph, do you think Your Highness doesn't know? But now no one dares to refute that the edict is fake, and besides, the father and emperor have died, and now everyone is busy mourning, I am afraid that no one will care who will be the new emperor. Murong Ba said that this added a little annoyance.

"Your Highness, now that you have reached a critical moment, you can't let Your Second Highness take the lead, otherwise you will really miss the throne." Ming An couldn't help but remind.

"What do you mean......" Murong Ba looked at Ming An, as if he understood what he meant, but he still couldn't help but hesitate.

"Your Highness, this throne has never been clean, I think that Murong Ke and Xu Ruhai colluded, but now everyone doesn't dare to say it, after all, the edict has everything, no one wants to be this up-and-coming bird, and it will be stinking for thousands of years."

"Your Highness knows what you said, but now His Highness is in a lot of turmoil, my father promised me to be the crown prince, and the throne will naturally be inherited by me......"

Ming An interrupted Murong Ba's words and said, "Your Highness, you are usually very smart, how can you be confused at this moment. The throne is in front of you, it depends on whether His Highness wants it or not. ”

"Okay, in that case, His Highness has nothing to do, you go to contact Bi Haitian and Tuobaya, as long as they can help this king ascend to the throne, His Royal Highness is willing to share the cup of Xiyan with them." Murong Ba said ruthlessly.

"Yes, Your Highness." Ming An nodded, and then planned to leave the house, but unexpectedly found Qiu Lanxiang hiding in the dark, his mind moved, and then he walked up to Qiu Lanxiang and said: "Miss Lanxiang, you shouldn't eavesdrop, do you know about this incident......"

"Qiu Lanxiang, do you have to let His Highness kill you before you stop." At this time, Murong Ba also walked out, and when he saw Qiu Lanxiang, he was furious.

"It's the emperor's death knell, I'm afraid that this Xiyan Kingdom is going to change." Qiu Lanxiang came to such a rare sentence, and then she looked at Murong domineering strangely and said: "Tell you, this Xiyan Kingdom is going to be destroyed, Murong Ke can't be the emperor, and you can't be the emperor, you just wait to collect the corpse." ”

"Come on, lock up this crazy woman." Listening to Qiu Lanxiang's words, Murong Ba only felt that the cold air was swishing behind him, he hurriedly ordered, and then his heart was uneasy, as if Qiu Lanxiang knew something.

But at this time, he couldn't care about Qiu Lanxiang, after all, he still had to rush to the palace to mourn, so he ordered Ming An to say something before he hurriedly entered the palace again.

Not far away, Zhulan noticed all this, she didn't know why, her eyelids jumped, faintly, she felt that something big was going to happen.

Tuoba tribe, a careful probe whispered something to Tuoba Ye, Tuoba Ye couldn't help but smile and said: "It's really a good opportunity for my Tuoba tribe to rise up." So he instructed Yelusu to disguise himself as a fur merchant to go to Beijing, and asked him to contact Bihaitian directly after entering Beijing.

Yelu Su rushed to the capital with furs, but he was ostensibly a fur merchant, but behind his back he was carrying gunpowder, and he took advantage of the moonlight to communicate with Bi Haitian.

"Boss Bi, this business is extraordinary, do you have the confidence to do it?" There was something in Yelusu's words, "Don't pick on the middle of the time, this is not child's play!" ”

Yelusu felt that some things should be said in advance, so as not to cause an accident and everyone would be entangled and unburden each other.

"This?" Bi Haitian couldn't help but hesitate. After all, he was a subordinate of His Second Highness before, but now the situation in the court is unclear, and it is really unclear who will be the final winner.

"It's man-made, after all, Murong Ba is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who the emperor personally promised, this is well known, although Murong Ke was enthroned by the emperor, but that is only what the edict says, if it is investigated deeply, who can testify, it is impossible to convince everyone just by relying on the words of a eunuch, right?" Yelu Su saw that the blue sea and sky were stagnant, so he couldn't help but say.

"Okay, Bi is willing to sacrifice dogs and horses." Bi Haitian was also open, and if he didn't succeed, he became benevolent, so he discussed specific matters with Yelusu, and planned to convey them to Murong Ba through Ming An.

For a while, the wind and waves were calm on the surface, but behind the scenes, the dark tide was turbulent, and all forces were ready to move, and it was obvious that the capital would soon stage a big drama of struggle for power.

On the day of the emperor's funeral, the sun was scorching, obviously it was ten years at the end of autumn, but it was hot like the weather in July and August, and some people saw with their own eyes that a large number of ants in the palace were scorched, lined up in a long black line, which was shocking to watch.

Soon, it rained heavily, and hail hit the face, which caught people off guard. There are people inside and outside the capital who are vying to discuss, but I am afraid that this Xiyan Kingdom will really change the world.

"Burial!" I only heard a heavy mourning sound, and the emperor's corpse was about to converge, but suddenly heard someone shout: "Wait! Everyone couldn't help but wonder, but they saw the queen with a solemn face, staring at the golden silk nanmu coffin with carved dragons and gold.

"Queen Mother, don't miss the auspicious time!" Someone approached and persuaded him.

"This palace knows, but this palace feels that the emperor just left, and it seems to be a little lonely!" When everyone heard this, their eyes couldn't help but widen.

They knew what the queen meant, so they naturally wanted people to accompany the funeral. But the burial of the dead by the living sounds good, but it is cruel and inhumane.

Sure enough, after a while, the queen said again: "The emperor quickly came to favor Li Meiren, as well as Song Cairen, and the palace allowed them to go down to accompany the emperor together, and ......"

Listening to the emperor say the names one by one, everyone's hearts couldn't help but tighten, they knew that the queen was taking the opportunity to get rid of those harem concubines she hated, of course, she hated Concubine Ling the most, so she couldn't help but take the opportunity to mention another person, "Concubine Ling!" ”

"No, Concubine Ling is one of the four concubines in the harem, if there is no fault, the funeral ceremony must not be carried out, besides, Concubine Ling has an heir, and His Royal Highness is the successor of the edict, the queen's move is inappropriate." A minister stopped.

"In that case, forget it." The queen knew that she was a little excessive, so she didn't feel soft, but then said: "Except for Concubine Ling, the concubines mentioned in the palace just now will go down to the funeral, come, bring them to the palace, and give white silk." ”
