i am afraid

In addition to being cool to his descendants, Emperor Yuanchu was still a good emperor. He was even considered a wise emperor when he was young, but the older he got, the more problems he had. After the incident with the prince, he became more and more reluctant to delegate power. At the end of the day, this chaos was caused, causing public resentment to boil.

Chengtian Hall is the residence of the emperor, of course, the funeral cannot go through it. Generally speaking, after the emperor dies and a new emperor is selected, the coffin is immediately sent to the ancestral temple, and the new emperor will lead the royal descendants and all civil and military officials to guard the spirit overnight. , After that, the coffin was stopped for seven days. After the new monarch presided over the sacrifice to heaven, he moved the coffin for burial.

The situation is different this time. They have not yet elected a new king. Zhou Wanyi's edict, which is not known to be true or false, selected the Seventh Prince, but the Seventh Prince died together with Zhou Wanyi in the hands of the rebels long ago, and even if he Still alive, no matter whether it is the Pei family or several adult princes, it is impossible for him to ascend the throne.

It is said that the strongest among the kings is the sixth prince. He holds the military power and the prince's old department. Ascending the throne means that all people will return to the heart, but this has changed because of his delay in returning. It is impossible for him to delay the court for long. As long as you wait for him, the hearts of the people will be chaotic, and the world will be chaotic.

As soon as Pei Yue came in, he saw King Qin wearing plain clothes and a dark face.This man stood with the three brothers of King Rui, he didn't look like he was born by a father, he was completely unconscious, he kept bowing his head and talking to King Rui, King Rui's biological mother was a beauty, and he was also very fair and handsome When the faces are put together, the effect is really tragic.

At this moment, the coffin is still parked in the Chengtian Palace. This time, the situation is special. When everyone is ready, the coffin can be carried to the ancestral temple. Because there is no confirmed new king, the scene is a bit chaotic. The ministers who are close to King Qin are standing In one place, I made friends with King Rui and stood in another place. There were Qingliu officials, pure royalists, not many thirty or so ministers who were qualified to guard the spirit of the late emperor, and they were divided into five or six small groups. .

Pei Yue walked directly to his father's side, his expression was a little bad, he lowered his voice: "I suspect they already know something, I was blocked when I sent someone to take over the patrol affairs in the palace this morning."

Mr. Pei didn't move at all, he just said: "After a few days after the funeral of the late emperor, you go back to Mobei immediately, and don't worry about the affairs here."

Pei Yue was startled, he was about to say something, old man Pei interrupted him with his hand raised, his voice was barely audible: "Shangyu Jiang's family has come, we can't interfere with the new king's affairs."

Pei Yue was stunned. Shangyu was the land of Emperor Taizong's Longxing. It had always been very mysterious. In the last years of the previous dynasty, the world was in chaos. At the time when the heroes were competing for the throne, Taizong led a team of people and horses to emerge, and those who followed him later became the founding fathers of the country. , This is the original civil and military team.It is said that the ancestor of the Pei family, Zhen Guohou Pei Qi, was among them. No one knows how they got together, just like no one knows why Taizong appointed his long-dead father as the founder of the country after he proclaimed himself emperor, turning himself into a Became Daxian's second emperor.

Naturally, when it comes to the Pei family, there are many things to know. Taizong's team was not recruited by himself, but prepared from the beginning.In the beginning, Pei Qi, the ancestor of the Pei family, was just a slave with no name. Because he stood out from the many war slaves, he was brought by the side of the young master who went out to practice. This young master was the later Taizong.

Even if the descendants who go out to practice become emperors, the Jiang family has no intention of coming to gain glory. They still live in the deep mountains and don't show up easily. They just send a few young offspring to practice every few years. They can stir up the situation for a while, but they returned to the family soon, and never saw each other again. Their intelligence and martial arts are different from ordinary people. Fortunately, they all appeared with their identities hidden. panic.

Pei Yue didn't ask any more questions, but just clenched his fists silently. Anyone who knew that the ancestor he had always been proud of was once a slave with a little ability in the eyes of others would feel humiliated, not to mention the sudden appearance of these people It also disrupted all his plans.

Jiang Yan came a bit late. In fact, the East Palace is very close to Chengtian Hall. He got up early and shouldn't have been late, but I don't know if it was just because of the wind and cold. When he left, he vomited, and he vomited twice in a row. It was better, but it was too late to clean up again.

When the chariots from the Eastern Palace arrived, the line of chariots and horses in front had just stopped, and Jiang Yan saw them from a distance. He was a little curious. He had never seen so many chariots and horses in the imperial palace. Did the officials arrive?But as a rule, officials are not allowed to park the frame in front of Chengtian Hall.So, is it the nobles of the royal family?

When Jiang Yan got out of the carriage, it happened that the group of people in front of him also came down one after another. When he got closer, Jiang Yan saw that unexpectedly, there were about a hundred of these people, all of them were guards, and they were wearing uniform black armor. , riding on a black horse of the same color, looks handsome and sturdy.

The largest carriage in the middle is also the most gorgeous. Jiang Yan has never even seen a carriage of this style in Wangdu. The sides are extremely tall, the whole body is white, with golden patterns engraved on it, there are windows on both sides that can be opened and closed, and the curtains are extremely exquisite. , embroidered with large and complex patterns, you can vaguely see the inside.

A white hand stretched out and lifted the curtain, perhaps because he had been in a superior position for a long time, this person's movements were unhurried, which added to his majesty.

Jiang Yan glanced at the sky, immediately decided to give up his curiosity, turned his head and walked towards Chengtian Palace.

The hand stretching out the curtain froze, and a deep male voice seemed to ask with some uncertainty: "He's gone, is he leaving now?"

The chief guard standing beside the carriage answered him honestly: "Go back to the young master, he's gone, really gone."

"..."

When Jiang Yan came in, he realized that the atmosphere was not right. King Qin and King Rui, who had always been hostile, stood together. They looked as good as brothers of the same mother and compatriots. There seemed to be something wrong with his face.

Jiang Yan saw Gu Qi, he was standing not far behind King Qin, his uncles were all very conspicuous, but he stood there, no one could ignore him.He nodded to Gu Xi, and Gu Xi seemed to be taken aback, and nodded to him too.

There is no new king to preside over the relocation of the coffin. Jiang Yan thought that the second uncle or one of the respected elders in the royal family would take over this matter, but he was wrong, no one moved at all, everyone looked at him direction, as if waiting for someone.

Jiang Yan thought for a while, pretended not to see Pei Yue and King Qin waving to him, and stood with several grandsons.

He is neither too old nor too young, and it is just right to stand with a few half-grown children. He didn't see his sister, but thinking about it, there are so many foreign men here, and it is inconvenient. There are no female relatives, and the only ones are old concubines who are old. Anyway, I will definitely see them when I go to the ancestral temple in a while.

The coffin stopped in the center of the Chengtian Hall, but no one moved. The atmosphere in the Chengtian Hall was a bit weird. Jiang Yan was curious, and pulled Prince Rui, who had a good relationship with him: "What's the matter, who are you waiting for?" ? Are any of the uncles not here?"

The son of King Rui shook his head, expressing that he was not clear either, "I heard from my father, it seems that I really have to wait for someone, but I don't know who to wait for."

Jiang Yan's curiosity was aroused, and he followed everyone to look in the direction of the door.

They didn't make them wait long, a slender figure suddenly appeared outside Chengtian Hall, that person slowly raised his foot to enter, followed by five or six black-armored guards, he walked in very casually without any tricks or tricks.

This man was dressed in black hair and blue clothes, with sculpted eyebrows, phoenix eyes and sharp lips. He was a very standard look of the Jiang family. When he walked in, he saw the coffin in the center of the hall, and raised his eyebrows in surprise, but his footsteps did not stop.

Jiang Yan blinked, he always felt that this person looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere.

"Jiang Xuanying from Jiang's family in Shangyu is here to express condolences to my cousin." The young man said, offering three sticks of incense to the coffin.

King Qin stepped forward, the crown prince passed away, he was the eldest son of Emperor Yuanchu, at this time he was naturally the one to speak, but before he could speak, Jiang Xuanying said, "Why don't you see the new king? The King Chen is missing. Could it be that such a big royal family can't find him?" Is there a successor?"

These words stirred up thousands of waves, and the king of Chen disappeared?How could Prince Chen disappear?Why is it missing?Why don't they know the news?

Countless eyes looked at the Pei family father and son. Not only did Pei Yue's face look ugly, but even Mr. Pei needed to take a deep breath. It's not that Pei Yue didn't think that things would be exposed, but the timing of being exposed is still very important. , now there is a large audience, everyone can hear it, and any action he wants to make must be exposed under the noses of others.

Jiang Xuanying didn't seem to see the startled and suspicious eyes of others at all, and continued: "Without the leadership of the new king, my uncle can't enter the ancestral temple, and the handprint of the next generation king is needed to place his spiritual throne."

He didn't say that a country cannot be without a king for a day, because even now, various places are still operating on their own. For a while, it doesn't matter whether there is an emperor or not. The people who came back from the king didn't say anything, but what did they hear now?Chen Wang, he is missing?

In a place like Mobei, disappearance has long been equated with death.A person who has disappeared a long time ago, do they have to wait any longer?

No one doubted that what Jiang Xuanying brought was fake news!
