The sudden death of the Spirit Emperor caught everyone by surprise,

At that time, Lu Yu was at the Empress Dowager Dong's place, and after hearing the little eunuch's anxious report, the Empress Dowager Dong fainted on the spot.

Why did Emperor Ling die suddenly, Lu Yu vaguely felt that this matter was inseparable from himself, after all, because of himself, Emperor Ling's appetite would be "opened".

Although that guy is the emperor, he is just an ordinary person, and his health is not very good, and under his appetite, he is overly drunk, and he dies directly

Although it happened relatively suddenly, Lu Yu didn't feel any surprise, he had seen that the Spirit Emperor's face was getting worse and worse,

It's just that people themselves said that it would be okay to make up for it, and he thought that what the guy said was true.

Emperor Ling died suddenly, and the inside of the court was greatly shaken, and before Emperor Ling was buried, the smoke in the court had quietly risen!

Emperor Liu Hong had two sons,

The eldest son, Liu Wei, was born to Empress He, because he had demon blood, so he did not live in the palace since he was a child, but was sent by his mother to a mysterious Taoist priest, in order to dissolve the blood of the demon race on his body, so that he could become a real human race.

The purpose is naturally self-evident, that is, to be able to become a prince in the future, and a person with demon blood cannot be made a prince, even if he is the eldest son.

The second son, Liu Xie, was born to Emperor Ling and a previous concubine, but the concubine had already been dead for a long time, so Liu Xie had been adopted by the Empress Dowager Dong.

According to the gossip in the palace, Liu Xie's biological mother was killed by Empress He. But the grapevine, most people are not very convinced.

Lu Yu has memories of his previous life, but he vaguely remembered that in his previous life, he seemed to have said that Liu Xie's biological mother Wang Meiren was killed by Queen He, so he believed in this matter.

Of course, I can't have a good impression of Queen He, who has purple hair.

Emperor Ling died suddenly, and when he ascended to the court, he quarreled over who would be the new emperor, but it was roughly divided into three factions.

One faction advocated establishing Chang as the emperor, headed by the general He Jin,

The other faction resolutely opposes the establishment of Liu Wei as the emperor on the grounds that the people of the demon race cannot become the emperor of the human race, otherwise they will be punished by the dragon vein.

This faction was led by some party members and Confucians, and was faintly supported by the Empress Dowager Dong, who had recovered from her grief, and the ten permanent attendants of the great eunuchs.

Needless to say, Empress Dowager Dong naturally raised Liu Xie from a young age, of course he will be towards him, and how can the emperor of the human race let a person with demon blood be the emperor,

Even the dead Spirit Emperor Liu Hong never planned to make Liu Wei the emperor, but he died suddenly, and he didn't even leave a will, which directly caused such a situation.

And the reason why the Ten Standing Servants support Liu Xie as the emperor is even simpler, the power behind Liu Wei is huge, and it is not something that they can control at all.

Liu Xie is very simple in comparison, there is only one Empress Dowager Dong behind him, and he is young, and it is not simple to control it.

As for those great Confucian people, they were scattered, and the ten permanent servants didn't pay attention to it at all.

And these people said that they supported Liu Xie as the emperor, but it was just a helpless move; the emperor had two sons, and they had no other choice at all except Liu Xie.

But

This is not to say that there is no other option, but what the third faction advocates is another way out.

That is, from among the royal families, select one person to inherit the unification!

Just like when the Spirit Emperor Liu Hong was chosen.

However, this approach did not enjoy everyone's support.

First, there are countless guys in the current DPRK and China, who have all kinds of careful thoughts, how can they let a third party get involved.

Second, Liu Hong doesn't have no son, if he doesn't have a son, it's just that, they can only choose one of their relatives to be the emperor.

But Liu Hong has sons, although these two sons are not very old, but no matter what, they are not sons.

Third, Liu Hong's lessons are in front of him, before he became the emperor, he can be described as a humble gentleman, quite benevolent.

And what about after becoming emperor?

It didn't take long for his true form to be revealed, mediocre and incompetent, lustful, and even selfish, greedy for money, and he couldn't be a bastard anymore.

Pick another clan relative to be the emperor? Who knows if it will be like Liu Hong.

The three factions have their own opinions, but in general, the two sides of the Great General He Jin and the Ten Standing Servants and the Empress Dowager Dong are the most powerful.

He Jin commanded most of the military attaches in the Chao Dynasty, and also controlled the most elite Yulin Army of the Han Dynasty, and was the most powerful.

But the power of the Empress Dowager Dong's side, to be precise, the side of the Ten Standing Servants and the Great Confucian Party should not be underestimated.

Needless to say, Empress Dowager Dong has no power, and the only one who is praised is Lu Yu, a cutting-edge dark horse, but basically it can't affect the overall situation.

Needless to say, although they "charged" at the forefront, it was completely helpless, and even if they exerted their strength, they were not completely complete.

The Ten Standing Servants controlled some of the officials in the court, and even most of the forbidden army in the imperial city were under their control.

There are three deputy commanders in the Imperial City Forbidden Army, needless to say Lu Yu, the other two are completely ten permanent servants.

These two people are usually polite to the commander Chun Yuqiong, but in fact, they have already set Chun Yuqiong's rights in the air, except for the defensive formation inside the imperial city, all the military power is in their hands.

Moreover, most places in the imperial city have the eyeliner of the ten permanent servants, and there are also a lot of eyeliners facing outward, although He Jin has many soldiers, but he can't help these ten eunuchs.

Lu Yu didn't know about this before, but now that it's such a mess, he can see it completely clearly.

So much so that he had to wonder if the former deputy commander Li Zhen was also a member of the Ten Standing Servants on the surface

Then I thought that Ma Yuanyi could arrange for Lu Yu to be promoted in the palace, would he also collude with the ten permanent attendants.

So he asked this question when he was discussing things with Ma Yuanyi, and the answer he got was really as he guessed,

Ma Yuanyi, or Taiping Dao, has already hooked up with two of the Ten Permanent Servants for a long time!

For this matter, Lu Yu didn't have time to get angry, but Ma Yuanyi's next explanation couldn't help but make him laugh.

The two ten-standing eunuchs who hooked up with Taiping Dao actually believed in Taiping Dao

What a it is!

Ma Yuanyi also said that the two old eunuchs even contributed all their family wealth for the uprising of Taiping Dao, and they also took the risk of lurking in the palace for Taiping Dao, which is a huge credit.

In this regard,

What Lu Yu thinks about Ma Yuanyi's words, according to the words of his previous life, he is suspected of washing the floor for those two old eunuchs, but since he can say this, he should not be targeted for no reason.

Although Lu Yu expressed doubt, he did not turn his face.

He didn't have the heart to turn his face anymore, because there was something more important in front of him.

Emperor Ling of Han died, the situation in the court was chaotic, whether to take this opportunity to revolt immediately, the eldest brother Zhang Jiao, who was located in the base camp of Yunzhou, was hesitating
