"Duan Ye, what happened, why is the whole country wearing filial piety in the city, who is dead, you tell me?"

Li Rushan walked in front of Duan Ye in two steps and asked anxiously.

Duan Ye was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then remembered that Li Rushan had just returned from the envoy, so he naturally didn't know the domestic situation, so he hurriedly said: "Your Highness, His Majesty the Emperor died suddenly more than a month ago, and we need to wear filial piety for three months according to the usual practice." ”

Hearing Duan Ye's answer, Li Rushan's face showed a look of disbelief, and even Ye Li next to him was full of shock, not understanding how Li Tianyuan could die.

"What do you say, my father died, why did he die, you tell me how he died?"

Li Tianyuan asked Duan Ye.

Duan Ye seemed to be a little hesitant, and was stunned for a moment before replying: "Your Highness, we don't know how Your Majesty died, according to the news from the palace, he died of a sudden serious illness, but no one dares to believe this, after all, Your Majesty is cultivating, how can he be sick!?"

Li Tianyuan nodded when he heard this, and said: "Yes, judging from my father's cultivation, it is indeed absolutely impossible for him to be sick, there must be something hidden in this matter, I want to go back to the palace and see what happened!!

By the way, according to the custom, a month after the emperor's death, the new emperor must ascend the throne, and now it is my eldest brother who inherits the throne?"

Li Tianyuan asked.

Duan Ye shook his head and said: "This time the situation is said to be a bit special, after the death of His Majesty, the ministers were divided into two parts, one part of the people supported His Royal Highness the Great Prince to succeed to the throne, while the other part of the people insisted on waiting for His Highness to come back, thinking that you also have the right to inherit the throne."

Because a large number of people, including the prime minister, insisted on waiting for you to return, this time the palace made a temporary decision to change the time of succession within a month to a month and a half.

If Your Highness returns to the palace at this time, you should be able to catch up. ”

Hearing Duan Ye's words, Li Rushan's face was a little relieved, after all, if Li Ruhai succeeded to the throne, he would have to think twice about whether he would go back to the palace or not.

After all, with Li Ruhai's temper, it is likely that he will kill Li Rushan after succeeding to the throne, and if Li Rushan goes back to the palace, it will be tantamount to throwing himself into the net.

"We have to go back to the palace, we have to leave quickly, the speed of the envoys' actions is too slow, just let them slow down, let's ride back to the palace first!"

After Li Rushan made a decision, he said to Ye Li and Liu Zhanqing.

Ye Li naturally had no opinion on this, and followed Li Rushan to find four fast horses, and prepared to rush to Tangjing City.

After Li Rushan entrusted the envoy group to the leader of the Fu God master, he led the two brothers Ye Li and Liu Zhanqing together and galloped towards Tang Jingcheng on a fast horse.

..............................

Tang Jingcheng, the inner courtyard of the imperial palace.

Li Ruhai was sitting opposite a bearded old man at this time, his face full of impatience.

"Chen Qian, do I really have to wait for a month and a half, Li Rushan should be about to return to the palace!!"

Li Ruhai's face was a little ugly, after he killed Li Tianyuan according to the plan, he originally thought that everything was too peaceful and he could take advantage of the situation to succeed directly, but there was a group of old ministers in the court who united to let him postpone the time of ascending the throne, and he had to wait for Li Rushan to come back before he could decide the ownership of the throne.

Li Ruhai never thought that Li Rushan would have so many supporters in the DPRK and China, helping Li Rushan to intercept his plan to ascend the throne.

"Your Highness, we have just received news that Li Rushan had already entered the border a day ago, and learned about the situation here in the West Wind City, and now he should have rushed to the palace with a whip.

If he is sent back to the palace, your succession to the throne will become complicated.

The cause of the emperor's death had already made many people suspect you, but now if you wait for Li Rushan to come back, there will definitely be more people who support him to ascend the throne. ”

Chen Qian, as the head of the harem housekeeping, has always been Li Ruhai's confidant, which even Li Tianyuan didn't expect.

Li Ruhai also relied on Chen Qian's relationship to arrange for someone to poison Li Tianyuan to death.

Although because of the special poison, no one in the palace can be sure that Li Tianyuan died of poisoning, but they will also suspect the poisoning to some extent, after all, Li Tianyuan died too suddenly, and it was too strange.

When Li Ruhai heard Chen Qian's report, his face changed, and he said, "We can't let Li Rushan come back, we have to kill him!"

Chen Qian, you immediately contact the hidden killing team in the palace for me, the seal letter of my father's control of the hidden killing team has been secretly taken away by me, with my current rights, it should not be a problem to mobilize the killers below Fu Zun.

You hurry up to find out Li Rushan's whereabouts, and then send people from the hidden killing team to intercept him halfway through, and you must not allow him to return to the palace. ”

Hearing Li Ruhai's words, Chen Qian hurriedly took the order and left.

..............................

Li Rushan, together with Ye Li and the others, had already walked half the distance at the moment, and under the whip of the fast horse, they almost never rested at all, and directly bought a good horse every time they arrived in a city, and then rode away after changing horses.

That night, Li Rushan originally planned to continue on his journey, but the sudden rainstorm forced them to temporarily stop to avoid the rain.

After all, it was too dark outside on a rainy night, and the supermarket on the ground was muddy, and it was almost impossible to discern the direction, and it was easy to get lost.

Once they go the wrong way, the delay is not as much as one night, so the four of them might as well rest for the night before heading away.

Just after Li Rushan gave the order to repair, Ye Li found a cave located halfway up the mountain, and then everyone rode up the mountain and hid in the cave.

Ye Li took out some firewood from the bracelet that had been picked up in advance, and a bonfire was lit in the cave, and everyone sat around the bonfire to rest.

"Your Highness, I think there must be something strange about Your Majesty's death, it is absolutely impossible to die of illness!"

Liu Zhanqing said to Li Rushan.

Li Rushan was stunned for a moment, couldn't help but shake his head, and said: "I don't know the situation, it's useless to say anything now, I can only go back to the palace first, and then it is possible to figure out the situation."

However, according to my speculation, it is indeed impossible for my father to die of illness, and if this incident is really poisoned, then the murderer can only be the eldest brother's person. ”

Hearing Li Rushan's words, Ye Li was stunned for a moment and said, "He won't really be able to attack his own father, this is too amazing, someone can poison his biological father." ”

Li Rushan was silent for a while when he heard this, and said, "I'm not sure if he did it, but I know that with his character, he will definitely dare to do it."

For him, the throne is definitely more important than family affection, and he and his father are actually the most similar people. ”
