III Jiangshan

In the mourning hall of King Su's mansion, there are two coffins.

The golden nanmu coffin in the middle is luxurious and heavy, while the catalpa coffin on one side looks much shabby and thin in comparison.

Surrounded by everyone, Yuan Youqi saw the two coffins, the expression on his face was so gloomy that it could freeze into ice——

The luxurious and heavy ones are obviously from King Su, so they should have been prepared long ago.And the simple one next to it must belong to Yuanli, the eldest son of King Su.Due to the haste of the incident, such a pair of birthday materials was only obtained temporarily.

Although death is like a lamp being extinguished, Yuan Youqi doesn't have any thoughts about the world after death, let alone plans to have a rich burial to enjoy in the underworld. Yuan Youqi couldn't bear to be buried in such a hasty way.

Especially when she saw that the tablet of Old Su King was densely filled with posthumous titles bestowed by the imperial court, while the tablet in front of Yuanli's coffin was simply written with his official position and name taboo during his lifetime. This feeling is particularly clear.

Yuan Youqi personally put incense on the tablet of Su Wang, entered respectfully, and respectfully performed the ceremony of son and nephew.

Everyone present was shocked: Although the old highness is His Majesty's uncle by blood, His Majesty is the Son of Heaven!

With such courtesy, it can be seen that His Majesty still attaches great importance to Su Wangfu!Everyone thought to themselves.

Now King Su died of illness, and the eldest son Yuanli died suddenly, so what's next?The so-called "a family has thousands of members, and one person is in charge", to put it in the most realistic way: Who will inherit the title of King Su?

His Royal Highness King Su has worked diligently for state affairs all his life, and behaved peacefully in the world. The only thing he is confused about is the succession to his heirs.

Yuan Li is his eldest son, and it is a matter of course to inherit the title.And for this matter, when King Su was alive, he should ask the emperor for the title of son for Yuanli.But he didn't, he just persevered like this, from the time Yuan Li was born, to the end.

According to legend, Yuan Li's mother was not really loved by King Su, so after Yuan Li was born, there was no justifiable seal of the son.But Yuan Li got married when he grew up, but he didn't give birth to a son, only two daughters, which gave King Su even more reason not to pass on the title to him.

These are old things, some of the veterans may know all about it, and the younger clan officials are also half-knowledgeable, they only think that the old King Su did not pass on the title and Yuan Li because Yuan Li did not give birth to a son.

No matter what the reason is, Su Wang's mansion is in such a situation right now.The eldest son who is most likely to inherit the title has also died, so who should be in charge of Su Wang's mansion?

More people's eyes fell on Yuan Pu, the second son of King Su.Yuan Li has no son, Yuan Zhuo is a three-year-old, and has a reckless temper. Now the chaos in Su Wang's mansion can only be supported by the shrewd and capable Yuan Pu.

However, this is just everyone's thoughts, and the current direction of Su Wang's mansion still has to be decided by His Majesty.

While everyone was slandering, Yuan Youqi had already offered incense and bowed.

People in Su Wang's mansion also bowed to the emperor on both sides of the mourning hall to return the salute.

Yuan Youqi stood in front of the mourning hall, glanced around at the dependents in Su Wang's mansion, and finally looked at the simple words on the tablet in front of Yuan Li's coffin.

She suddenly asked: "Who wrote Brother Li's memorial tablet?"

Her voice was not loud, but because of the silence, everyone present could hear her clearly.Everyone was stunned.

A few quick-thinking courtiers were thoughtful, as if they had caught some important joint.

After the emperor finished asking, no one responded for a while.

Everyone involved in King Su's Mansion was thinking about the deep meaning of the emperor's words, whether it was a blessing or a curse.

After Yuan Youqi asked that sentence, he didn't look at other people, his eyes only turned to the top of Yuan Zhuo's head.

She was secretly slandering in her heart: With such clumsy preparations, what kind of big waves do you want to set off?

She looked at Yuan Zhuo like this, Yuan Pu, who was kneeling in front of Yuan Zhuo's side, could no longer hold back——

Yuan Zhuo is a foolish and unscrupulous person, let him fight if he is capable, if the emperor really asks him, I'm afraid it will be troublesome.

Yuan Pu was heartbroken, took a step forward, and replied respectfully: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the tablet of elder brother was written by Mr. Ji in the mansion, and it was also carved by someone else."

Yuan Youqi snorted coldly when he heard him calling him big brother.

Yuan Pu was so sensitive that he suddenly felt chills down his spine, and he didn't dare to say more.

"Since you are called Mr., you should know some etiquette and rules!" Yuan Youqi's voice suddenly rose.

When everyone heard the words, they couldn't help but touch Yuanli's god tablet, wondering if this Mr. Ji forgot some taboos in his writing?

They were all well versed in etiquette, and after looking at it again and again, they didn't see anything wrong with the memorial tablet.

Yuan Pu noticed everyone's attention, which made him extremely nervous.

Yuan Youqi snorted coldly: "Yuan Li is the son of King Su, why hasn't such a title been written into the tablet of the God Lord?"

Everyone present was in an uproar.

When did Yuan Li become the heir of Prince Su?How come they don't know anything!

Yuan Pu was also stunned by the emperor's sudden questioning.He forced himself to concentrate, thinking very quickly, and quickly caught the loopholes in the emperor's words, and respectfully said: "Your Majesty has learned! The title of prince is granted by the imperial court at the request of the prince."

When he said this, he stopped.The implication is that King Su did not ask the imperial court to grant Yuanli the title of son, and Yuanli naturally did not have the title of son.

Yuan Youqi smiled, "Are you saying I'm confused?"

Yuan Pu suddenly felt a strong sense of danger, and instinctively bowed and walked away, not looking at Yuan Youqi, Fang felt that strong sense of danger weakened slightly.

"Your Majesty is clearly aware! I dare not!" Yuan Pu said respectfully, "It's just that your majesty is busy with state affairs, and he may have forgotten, but it is understandable."

In the final analysis, it is still said that the emperor is confused.

Seeing this scene, all the ministers felt strange: What is the purpose of confronting the emperor so tit for tat?This doesn't look like Yuan Pu's style at all!

What they don't know is that Yuan Pu has put all his eggs in one basket.

Yuan Youqi listened to Yuan Pu's words implying that he was confused, neither anxious nor annoyed, with a sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth, he said leisurely: "Excusable? Hehe, is it?"

As she spoke, her eyes stood up sharply, and she suddenly shouted: "Yuan Junshu!"

Yuan Junshu was kneeling behind with all the female relatives at the moment.The Yuanli branch in King Su's mansion was not treated well when King Su was alive, and now he is even more neglected to the extreme. .

Hearing Yuan Youqi's call, she straightened her back, stood up, walked quickly to Yuan Youqi, and knelt down on the other side of Yuan Pu, raising the hem of her filial robe: "Here!"

Yuan Youqi stared at her with lowered eyes, and reprimanded displeasedly: "This is what you did well!"

Yuan Junshu suddenly felt the invisible pressure on her head coming down, but she was not surprised or afraid, she raised her head and said to Yuan Youqi: "Your Majesty blames it! It is indeed Jun Shu's fault in doing things, and it is all Jun Shu's fault!"

After speaking, he knocked his head on the ground with a bang.

The sound of "boom" kowtow shook everyone's hearts, adding to their surprise: What... what is going on here?

Yuan Pu saw Yuanjun Shuyue coming out of the crowd, accepting the emperor's reprimand, and then slammed his head on the ground, secretly shouting in his heart——

Where the hell did it go wrong?

His mind was spinning rapidly, and he always felt that there were some unknown and terrible facts that he had inadvertently ignored.

Could it be... the old man?

How can it be!Who has the old man always loved the most?How could he harm himself when he was dying?

But if it wasn't for the old man...

Yuan Pu had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly thought of a possibility: Could it be that the emperor and Yuan Junshu are playing tricks?Want to fool people's eyes?

If this is the case, then don't blame his subordinates for being merciless!

Thinking this way, Yuan Pu secretly winked at the person who was always watching his words and deeds in a corner of the courtiers opposite.

That person understands.

In this room, Yuan Junshu's ringing head also resounded in Yuan Youqi's heart.On the one hand, she secretly praised Yuan Junshu's performance for not disappointing her, on the other hand, she also felt a little distressed in her heart——

A child who has lost his father's protection needs to prop up a sky by himself after all.

However, who in the world has not grown up from ignorance and helplessness?

Since you want to achieve great things, you must be prepared to bear the pressure that others cannot bear.

Yuan Youqi's expression remained the same.

She allowed Yuan Junshu to kowtow, and a cold voice sounded above Yuan Junshu's head: "Since you know that you have done something wrong, you should try your best to make up for it. In this way, you will live up to your grandfather and father." What your father expected of you."

The emperor's words made everyone feel weird.

And Yuan Pu's feeling is particularly obvious, he feels that he seems to have grasped the key point of the matter, but it seems that it is not very practical.

At this time, Yuan Youqi said again: "Uncle Su died of illness, and Brother Li also passed away unfortunately. If I punish you for this matter again, I will not bear it."

She paused, then sighed: "Since that's the case, I'll write down your stroke for the time being to see how it works."

Yuan Junshu listened quietly, and at the end, he lowered his eyes and replied, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Yuan Youqi nodded, with a tone of relief: "I will entrust you with the matter of reshaping your father's tablet. This time, it must be done well, and I will not be disappointed!"

Yuan Junshu said yes.

The others were already dumbfounded: This means that when the tablet of the Lord Yuanli is rebuilt, the honorary title of King Su's son will be engraved on it?

This... is this really okay?

There seems to be something wrong...

When Yuan Youqi and Yuan Junshu were talking, the two of them faced each other with one face up and one down.When Yuan Junshu responded with the "yes", both of them saw the rising expectation in each other's eyes.

And Yuan Youqi calculated in his heart at the same time: one breath, two breaths, three breaths...

Sure enough, soon someone couldn't stand it anymore, that person rushed out of the team of officials, and shouted sadly: "Your Majesty! No! Absolutely no!"

Yuan Youqi and Yuan Junshu's eyes lit up at the same time: Here we come!
