The system forced me to be emperor

Poor people must have hateful things, and similarly, hateful people must have suffered pitifully in the past.

As the news of Emperor Yan's death spread throughout Yandu City, the people cried out in mourning, mourning from top to bottom, every family began to post white papers to express condolences, all restaurants and brothels on the street dared not open, and the people also wore plain clothes Colored clothes, stay at home.

The unscrupulous people patrolling the streets were dressed in military uniforms, with white mourning belts tied on their heads, and strictly patrolled the state capital. The new king has not yet been established, and now no one dares to take it lightly.

At this time in the imperial palace, all civil and military officials had gathered at the Meridian Gate, and then entered the palace one after another, kneeling outside the palace, waiting for the reading of the will.

In the bedroom, the three important ministers and Yan Linglong came to the desk. The eunuch in charge opened the brocade box by himself, and there were indeed the edicts inside, but to his surprise, there were two copies of the edicts!

Xu Xiao, a servant under the door, asked suspiciously: "Eunuch Sun, are these two copies left by His Majesty?"

The eunuch in charge nodded, and said: "The above is an edict to announce to the world, the content is to select a new monarch. The following edict is left by His Majesty to Her Royal Highness Princess Pingyang of Zhenguo, and ordered the slaves to be in the position of the three adults. In front of you, face to face publicity!"

Yan Linglong didn't know the content of the will, and Yan Huang's death was beyond her expectations. At this time, she was also very anxious, not knowing how to carry out the follow-up plan.Qiye is too young, only two and a half years old, Yanxi Feng is still there, so is it possible to directly push Qiye to the top?

"I accept the order!" Yan Linglong knelt down to accept the order after regaining her senses.

The three veteran ministers also knelt down to receive the order.

Eunuch Sun took out the second posthumous edict and read: "By the heavens, the emperor is in charge, and the Zhao said: Zhen Guo Pingyang Princess Yan Linglong, Shu Shen, noble and thrifty, Yong and pure, dunmu Jiaren, entrusted with [-] households in Shiyi, The fiefdoms of Beijiang County, Beihai County, and Xu County. The [-] Feather Banner Army is a private army in the fiefdom, and is not subject to the imperial court's dispatch. It can only be called after the new emperor ascends the throne. This!"

Yan Linglong was stunned. This turned out to be His Majesty's will to seal her. It not only increased the number of food towns to an astonishing [-] households, but also sealed the three counties in the northernmost part of Yan Kingdom and bordering Da Xia as her fiefs. .What is even more astonishing is that the Feather Banner Army is a private army. The Feather Banner Army is not only the guard camp outside the city of Yandu, but also the most important force to protect the safety of Yandu. .

With fiefs and soldiers, is this forcing Yan Linglong to usurp the throne?

The three important ministers looked at each other.

At this time, Eunuch Sun said: "Your Highness, when His Majesty the late Emperor was dying, let the servants tell His Highness to help the Emperor and grandson. He is the future hope of the Yan Kingdom!"

Yan Linglong immediately understood that the reason why her father arranged these things was actually to prepare for the emperor's grandson, not for Yan Linglong to usurp the throne!

The three important ministers also immediately understood His Majesty's intentions. It is not so easy for Yan Linglong to usurp the throne and become the Empress. Even if the Yuqi Army assigns her as a private army, it will be very difficult for her to usurp the throne.And the last paragraph of the decree can only be invoked after the new emperor ascends the throne. This alone prevents Yan Linglong from usurping the throne.

Your Majesty awarded these awards, the fundamental reason is to let her help the emperor grow up, Yan Changqing was praised by the Emperor Yan as a good grandson, it is the hope of the future of the country of Yan, and to ensure that the emperor can inherit the great rule in the future, Yan Linglong holds Your strength is the greatest guarantee.

"My son accepts the order and will definitely support the growth of the emperor and grandson, please rest assured father!" Yan Linglong accepted the order to thank her.

Afterwards, Eunuch Sun took out the first imperial edict again, and said: "Your Highness, three lords, this is the edict to enshrine the new emperor, all civil and military officials have already entered the palace to wait."

Yan Linglong said: "Go and invite the prince, establish a new king early, and stabilize the situation."

Afterwards, everyone walked out of the bedroom.

The Imperial Army also invited Yan Xifeng over. His eyes were red and he had a blank expression on his face, as if he had lost his purpose in life.

Afterwards, all civil and military officials knelt down to listen to the decree, and the eunuch in charge read out the will. The content was very simple, and the crown prince Yan Xifeng was registered as the new king to inherit the great rule!

Although Emperor Yan already knew that Yan Xifeng was doing wrong, he could only make Yan Xifeng the crown prince, and his son would inherit his father's business. It was impossible for him to skip Yan Xifeng and directly appoint the emperor's grandson Yan Changqing.

The decree was promulgated, and the officials kowtowed to the new emperor.

The next step is to select an auspicious day and hold the enthronement ceremony as soon as possible to establish the position.Then the new emperor honored the former emperor and the concubines of the harem, and offered sacrifices to heaven and earth, formally welcoming the former emperor's spiritual throne into the Taimiao.

The emperor's death and burial is estimated to be cumbersome, and it will be impossible to do it in ten days and half a month. Today is just the beginning.

After Yan Linglong returned to the Princess Mansion, she was exhausted physically and mentally, and suddenly felt dizzy and fainted, which frightened the people in the Princess Mansion.

When Yan Linglong woke up, she saw her son falling asleep beside her, her eyes were swollen from crying and stained with tears.

Huazheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Your Highness, you have finally woken up!"

"What's wrong with me? What's wrong with Qiye?" Yan Linglong felt dizzy.

Huazheng explained: "You were overwhelmed by grief and exhausted mentally, which caused you to fall into a coma. When Shizi saw you in a coma, he was so frightened that he wept loudly. No amount of comfort was of any use, and finally he fell asleep beside you."

Yan Linglong nodded, looked at her son with pity, and couldn't help but want to cry.

The mother and concubine passed away early, and the father and emperor also passed away. Apart from the son, there is really no relatives.

But she held back, because she still had a lot to do next.Qin Tianjian and the Ministry of Rites have already selected a few days, and the new emperor will ascend the throne three days later.

And once Yan Xifeng takes the throne, what will be the situation of Yan Kingdom?

This was what Yan Linglong was most worried about.

Chapter 610: Old acquaintance among Qin prisoners

When Emperor Yan died and Yan Linglong was heartbroken, she was more worried about Yan Xifeng's attitude.

Yan Xifeng only wants to take revenge on His Majesty, and only wants His Majesty to watch the country of Yan fall into his hands. This is his greatest pursuit, but now that His Majesty has collapsed, he can't take revenge, so he will continue to make trouble. To bring down the country, or will we try our best to govern and try to be a good emperor?

Yan Linglong didn't know that she had a good relationship with Yan Xifeng when she was a child, but they gradually drifted away, and now she can't see through Yan Xifeng's heart.

Just when Yan Linglong was worried, someone came from the palace, and the new emperor invited Princess Pingyang into the palace to discuss matters.

Yan Linglong thought about it, but did not refuse, and immediately entered the palace.

In the Qianqing Palace where His Majesty's coffin was in full bloom, Yan Linglong saw Yan Xifeng.

He was dressed in a black long gown, his hair was loose, and he was dressed very casually. Standing in front of the coffin, he was quietly lost in thought. He didn't come back to his senses until he heard footsteps behind him, and said, "Sister, you're here!"

Yan Linglong was taken aback, she hadn't heard this name for a long time, it was strange but familiar.

"Your Majesty called me here, why?" Yan Linglong asked coldly.

Yan Xifeng turned his head, the black hair hanging down made his cheeks look more feminine, since he was kicked by Xiao Rui and broke his life, he has become a disabled person, no different from the eunuch in the palace, he looks naturally feminine.

"He's dead...I didn't believe this fact until now! This old thing is actually dead, how could he die!" Yan Xifeng said angrily.

Yan Linglong really wanted to scold him for being rude, but thinking of what happened to his mother, she stopped talking.

"Everyone is dead, so let's let go of the past." Yan Linglong persuaded.

Yan Xifeng stretched out his hand, stroked the coffin, and said softly: "I really want to bury him in front of my mother's grave!"

Yan Linglong said angrily: "Yan Xifeng, the father is sorry for your mother, not you! Before the father died, he already knew your sins and evils. You sent people to assassinate so many princes, and they are all yours!" Brother, why did the emperor never abolish you? Even passed the throne to you in the end, don't you know the reason?"

Yan Xifeng turned his head suddenly, stared at Yan Linglong with a gloomy face, and shouted: "You think I like this throne? He is guilty, he is guilty, he is trying to make up, he is atonement, but unfortunately he found the wrong person , the person he should make up for is not me!"

Yan Linglong sighed, not wanting to tangle with him, but said: "Everyone is dead, what's the use of arguing about this? I will never allow you to offend the body of the emperor! Even to slander the reputation of the emperor, the deceased For the big."

Yan Xifeng sneered and said: "Yeah, you definitely won't, how could I forget, father gave you all the military power of the Yuqi Army, just to guard against me. Sister, are you tired? A daughter The body, but the heart is higher than the sky, and I want Yan to prosper and prosper. Look at the situation Yan is facing now, Wei Guo is eyeing, and will send troops to attack the north at any time. The two countries are feuds. The north is Daxia, and Daxia is a cat Evil Tiger, his ambitions are clearly revealed. Zhao Guo and Qi Guo have been destroyed. When he stabilizes the situation, sooner or later it will be the turn of Yan Guo. How long do you think you can last with your hard work, or do you think you are the same as Xiao Rui? Good friend, will he spare Dayan?"

Yan Linglong nodded and admitted: "You're right, my heart is higher than the sky, but that's because a prince who not only doesn't fight for the country, but keeps dragging his feet, do you think this is my dream? ? As for the future of Yan Kingdom, I might have been worried in the past, but not now!"

Yan Xifeng was startled, and looked at Yan Linglong in surprise, from the smile on her face, Yan Xifeng saw sincerity and confidence, she didn't lie to herself, she became more confident and determined.

"Aren't you afraid that I will completely abolish the Yan Kingdom after I ascend the throne? Why have you become confident?" Yan Xifeng couldn't help asking.
