At this time, the atmosphere in the side hall of the Imperial Palace was not good.

The Queen Mother, the fourth prince Song Mo, the second prince and the third prince, as well as the clan and the civil and military ministers are all there.

"This king is very suspicious, Prince Gong, you said that the emperor made the fourth emperor's brother Song Mo the new emperor. But Song Mo is only fourteen this year, right? If you are not a descendant or a long, and you have not yet reached the crown, how can you do it? If the imperial examination wants to set up a young one, why not Song An, the son of the crown prince? They are all the same young, but isn't it just right for Li Song An to change his name? ”

Facing the doubts of King Cheng, that is, the second prince, Song Mo was expressionless, his father was really good, leaving such a pit for him!

Chengwang's doubts are reasonable.

"What about Wei Zili? Let him come out, Emperor Daxing should leave something else to ask! "There is a minister's proposal.

Wei Zili and Lu Desheng were burning paper for Emperor Daxing in the main hall, and the concubines were also crying, and the two didn't speak, ignoring everything in the side hall.

Until Wei Zili was invited over.

"Wei Zili, did the emperor leave any evidence for the fourth brother to ascend the throne?" King Cheng asked actively.

Wei Zili lowered his eyebrows and replied obediently, "The emperor has left three secret decrees, and once these three secret decrees are issued, they can be orthodox. "It used to be a secret decree, but now it's an edict.

As soon as these words came out, everyone reacted, and the will in Prince Gong's hand was one of them? So whose hands are the other two?

"Who is in the hands of the other two secrets?" Song Mo asked Wei Zili directly.

Wei Zili shook his head, "The slave doesn't know. ”

In other words, there are still two edicts in the hands of your ministers.

The three princes at the top looked at the ministers below quietly, and the ministers were also looking at each other.

Song Molang said, "Ministers, I don't know which one is in the hands of the edict?" Please also show it. ”

No one moved.

"The country cannot be without a king for a day, and the minister who holds the edict in his hand, do not delay such a major event of the country." Prince Gong also followed suit.

The fourth prince's heart moved, and he looked at the palace attendant on the side, "Go to the main hall and invite Lu Desheng." ”

Everyone invariably thought of Lu Desheng, would one of the edicts be in his hands?

In fact, they admired Lu Desheng very much, how many ministers did Emperor Daxing take away this time, everyone thought that he would also be taken away, after all, Emperor Daxing liked him so much, but people were stunned to become the fish that slipped through the net and survived.

Thinking of the edict that he was very likely to hold in his hand, his heart was sour, Emperor Daxing, how much do you love Lu Desheng, you gave him one guarantee after another, it was not enough to give him a gold medal to avoid death, and gave him another edict...... Is this because he's afraid he'll accidentally kill himself, or he's afraid he'll not live long enough.

It didn't take long for Lu Desheng to be invited to the side hall.

I saw him staggering in, his eyes red, his eyelids swollen, and his voice nasal.

Lu Desheng opened his eyes as red as a rabbit and said, "Edict? What edict? I don't know. "Just now he has been kneeling to burn paper for Emperor Kang Cheng, which will swing when he walks.

Looking at him like this, the ministers are awkward, and you are just a pure and kind minister, they are all wolf-hearted?

Several princes are also uncomfortable, Lu Desheng is like this, it seems that they are very unfilial.

The Queen Mother said angrily, "Lu Desheng, if the edict is in your hands, take it out, don't hide it, delay the major event of the inheritance of the dynasty, can you afford it?" ”

The Queen Mother's mood was very bad, and the Emperor Daxing died, but she didn't leave her a will to be gracious! is his own mother, and he treats her like this! Unfilial son! Also, he took his uncle away and left Lu Desheng, the annoying one, to obscure her eyes!

Lu Desheng shouted injustice, "Queen Mother, Weichen really doesn't remember such a thing." "Hmph, I won't take it, what's the matter?

"Why don't you ask the Queen Mother and the three highnesses about the other ministers? If nothing happens, Weichen wants to go back to the main hall to continue to mourn the emperor. In fact, he should be called Emperor Daxing, just to call the emperor cordial, as if the emperor was still there.

The Queen Mother couldn't see him like this, so she immediately swished coldly, "You are so reluctant to the emperor, and the emperor also treats you the most during his lifetime, why don't you go down to the emperor to be buried with you?" ”

Wei Zili, who had not spoken all this time, suddenly said, "Queen Mother, Emperor Daxing left an edict. After his great journey, no one is allowed to give death to the minister in the name of his funeral! ”

Ministers: ......

The Queen Mother was even more choked.

The Queen Mother was slapped in the face, and the ministers hurriedly lowered their heads: The general meaning of this will is that the person I want to take away has been taken away personally, and after I die, you can kill if you want to, but you can't kill it in the name of accompanying me to the funeral, I don't carry this pot!

Emperor Daxing, this is really prepared.

The Queen Mother said angrily, "Get out, get out of the emperor's funeral!" ”

Lu Desheng rolled slowly, and when he returned to the main hall, he immediately took three pillars of incense and burned it for Emperor Kangcheng, and silently recited in his heart, 'The emperor blesses the emperor'.

Several princes and ministers allowed Lu Desheng to leave the side hall, because he bluntly said that there was no edict, and it was clear that he would not cooperate, so they couldn't be forced by torture, right?

Since he knew that one of the edicts was in his hands, it was important to find the other edict first.

Song Mo lowered his eyes, and could only ask him privately if he had any requirements.

The second prince and the third prince glanced at each other, and the meaning in their eyes was unclear.

It's a pity that no matter how much they ask, another edict does not appear. In this way, things enter a delicate phase.

However, although the legitimacy of the succession of the four princes has not been confirmed because the two edicts have not appeared, with the endorsement of Prince Gong and the Queen Mother, the funeral of the Daxing Emperor can also be handled, and the funeral is presided over by the four princes, assisted by the second prince and the third prince.

Chang'an Prison

Lin Ran and others sent the Qin family to Da'an Prison and left, Sheng Huaixing left later, and he said hello to Lord Yuanwang, the Sizhi King of Dali Temple.

Later, the Qin family was divided into two waves, men and women, and was imprisoned in two adjacent cells on the very edge, which were relatively quiet and clean. The jailer also brought them two bundles of straw.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Lu Songli knew that they were being taken care of.

"Let's try to clean up this place as much as we can." Lu Songli proposed.

She understands the importance of hygiene, and people are most likely to get sick in a dirty and messy environment. Not to mention their daughters, the old and the young, and a mother who has just given birth.

Hearing her say that she was going to clean up, the jailer also brought a broom.

Lu Songli didn't let them do it, the female dependents, Mrs. Qin was not in good health, she was probably frightened today, her face was very pale, and she was holding her newborn granddaughter without strength, and she would not let Nie Yunniang work alone. Qin Jia pulled her sister Qin Zhen very sensibly.

Lu Songli first cleaned up a relatively dry place, and spread half of the straw for Nie Yunniang and Mrs. Qin to sit down and rest.
