The system forced me to be emperor

"Prince Zhou, I don't want you to become Daxia's sinner!" Zhou Xiangyun continued to add.

These words seemed to speak to Xiao Mingying's heart, he suddenly raised his head, looked at Zhou Xiangyun with some impertinence, then staggered away, sighed, and said: "My lady, please follow me!"

Zhou Xiangyun was overjoyed and finally convinced Xiao Mingying.

But back in front of the East Palace Gate, Zhuge Yuanba and Li Mingchong still blocked it, Xiao Mingying raised her brows angrily, and shouted: "Which of you two can make the decision? Who can make the decision!"

Li Mingchong and Zhuge Yuanba sighed, and could only step aside.

Afterwards, Zhou Xiangyun entered the East Palace.

This was Zhou Xiangyun's first time entering the East Palace. A long time ago, she had fantasized many times that her son would be in charge of this place, and she would come here for free, and her life would be perfect.But now, my precious son is dead, the Zhou family is finished, and I have nothing.

Touching the scene, Zhou Xiangyun's eyes were reddish, but soon, she put away her sadness because she saw the dead silence in the East Palace.

And following Xiao Mingying's guidance, Zhou Xiangyun came to a master bedroom, Hai Dafu and Yan Xiaoxiao were both in this category, but they both knelt beside the bed, Yan Xiaoxiao was better, with her head down, unable to see her expression.Hai Dafu actually burst into tears, weeping bitterly.

Xiao Mingying and Li Mingchong really want to give a thumbs up. When it comes to acting skills, why did they forget about Hai Dafu? Look at this crying scene, just now they were smiling and crying immediately. The rhythm is well grasped. .

As for Zhou Xiangyun, his eyes were already on the bed, and he saw Emperor Xia lying there, motionless.

"emperor!"

Zhou Xiangyun wailed, and was about to pounce on her. Yan Xiaoxiao hugged her quickly, and said, "Ma'am, please be sorry..."

Hai Dafu also persuaded: "Madam, please mourn, His Majesty has already died."

Zhou Xiangyun only howled but did not shed tears, and his eyes were not very sad, but fixedly stared at Emperor Xia's face, which was indeed pale and colorless, and it was indeed a symptom of being dead for two days.

"Get out of my way, I don't believe His Majesty will die!" Zhou Xiangyun shouted.

Only then did Yan Xiaoxiao let go, but Zhou Xiangyun regained her composure after being blocked in this way. She reached out and stretched out her finger to test His Majesty's breath, but she did not breathe.

Dead, really dead!

Zhou Xiangyun staggered and almost fell, then she turned her head to look at Xiao Mingying and Li Mingchong, and shouted: "Xiao Mingying, Li Mingchong, you two are so brave, your Majesty's death is so big, and you conceal it. What do you want to do! Usurping the throne? Also, why did His Majesty die?"

Hearing these words, everyone except Xiao Mingying knelt on the ground.

Xiao Mingying sighed: "Empress, Your Majesty was assassinated and killed. The murderer was Lu Zhi, the daughter of Uncle Mingyi, a female official of the Eastern Palace. She poisoned His Highness the Crown Prince and pretended to be seriously ill. When the Majesty came to visit, she suddenly assassinated her! This girl is skilled in martial arts. Gao Qiang, another close-range assassination, the masters around His Majesty did not respond at all! His Majesty was seriously injured by the assassination, and soon... died."

"After his death, Li Yuanfang, the guard of the Eastern Palace, quickly notified the king and Lord Li. After discussing with Lord Li, I decided to temporarily conceal the matter and seal the gate of the palace."

Zhou Xiangyun said coldly: "This is why Prince Zhou concealed it? If it wasn't for my palace, how long would Prince Zhou have to hide it? Besides, His Majesty's death is too strange! I suspect that someone intends to rebel, where is the crown prince?"

Obviously, Zhou Xiangyun suspected that the crown prince planned to usurp the throne.

Xiao Mingying sighed, and said: "Your Majesty, the crown prince... the crown prince's time is numbered."

"What?" Zhou Xiangyun was dumbfounded when he heard it.

Afterwards, Zhou Xiangyun was brought to the next bedroom, and saw Zhuge Liuying and Li Ruoxue standing by the bed with tears in their eyes, and Xiao Rui lying on the bed seemed to be wandering.

"Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince is in critical condition, and he probably won't be able to live tomorrow. I originally hoped that the Crown Prince would wake up and take charge of the overall situation, but now the possibility is extremely low. Once the Crown Prince dies, the country will have no heir, and it will definitely move, so this king and Mr. Li After discussing it, I deliberately concealed it, and I have not had time to report it to the empress." Xiao Mingying explained.

Zhou Xiangyun immediately understood Xiao Mingying's concealment intention.

Now that His Majesty has passed away and the Crown Prince is in a coma, if this matter is made public, the court will definitely move.So they have to wait, wait a few days, if the crown prince dies, then Xiao Mingying will have no point in concealing it, and will summon important officials to report to the queen, and re-select the crown prince to inherit the throne.

This is the prudent behavior of Xiao Mingying and the chief minister of the cabinet, and it is for Daxia's foundation.

Chapter 537: My Palace Suggests that Tang King Xiao Yan Inherit the Great Tradition (Fourth Change)

His Majesty died, the crown prince was about to die, and Empress Zhou Xiangyun's heart was full of sadness.

It's just that her sorrow is not because of His Majesty, not because of the love that the king died and I was still alive, and it is not because of worrying about the future of Daxia, but because of her son Chu Wang who died too early. If he did not die, it would be logical to do it now Emperor?

His own son is the son of the son, and His Majesty did not make the son the heir apparent when he was there. Now that His Majesty is dead, the rest of the people must follow the etiquette. It is a pity...it is still sad.

Wiping the teardrops from his eyes, Zhou Xiangyun looked at Xiao Mingying and asked, "Is the prince's situation really serious?"

Xiao Mingying nodded, and said sadly: "It is suspected to be highly poisonous, but until now I haven't even figured out what kind of poison it is, how to detoxify it? Hua Tuo's medical skills are better than the imperial physician, and he has received the kindness of His Royal Highness. If there is one way, he will try his best. But now, it is too difficult."

Zhou Xiangyun gritted his teeth, not letting the joy in his heart be exposed at the corners of his mouth.

Xiao Rui, Xiao Rui, you have today too!Deserve it, deserve it!

"If the crown prince dies, who should inherit the throne?" Afterwards, Zhou Xiangyun asked the most concerned question.

Xiao Mingying said: "It should be Jin Wang Xiao Lie! Jin Wang is the eldest son of His Majesty. The eldest son is not here, so we need to have an eldest son. Only in this way can we be convincing, and other princes and civil and military officials will not raise objections. Moreover, Jin Wang is talented in his studies. Fame and virtue are not lacking, and they can govern Great Xia well! This is the conclusion reached by this king and Master Li after a long period of communication."

Li Mingchong also said: "Your Majesty, it is most suitable for His Royal Highness Jin Wang to inherit the great rule. I don't know what the Empress Dowager thinks?"

Zhou Xiangyun couldn't help sneering, and said: "The eldest son is not here, and the eldest son is needed. Why didn't the first son be established when the first son was there? If the first son was established as the prince early according to the rules, would His Majesty be killed? Will this happen today? Now When you think about the establishment of the eldest son, why did you go there earlier? There must be a cause and an effect, and all of this today is caused by Xiao Rui!"

Xiao Mingying and Li Mingchong didn't dare to refute, Zhou Xiangyun was furious, and if he clicked again, he would explode.

After venting, Zhou Xiangyun continued: "Since your majesty doesn't pay attention to establishing a son, why should you follow the establishment of an eldest son? You should choose the most suitable prince to inherit the rule. Looking at the remaining six princes, Jin Wang Xiao Lie loves to read, but he is angry with books. It’s too heavy, so there’s no way His Majesty’s prestige of commanding millions of troops to kill the Quartet. His personality is too soft, and he is definitely not suitable to be an emperor. Wu Wang Xiao Ze, who spends his days in the mountains and rivers, paints all day long, let him continue to be happy Prince. Duan Wang Xiao Feng, hmph, a martial artist can fight wars but lacks the strategy to govern the country, so he can’t. Ming Wang Xiao Yuan, who was summoned back after being demoted to Fuzhou, is not as good as the previous few. King Jing Xiao Jing, Da Can Xia's emperor be a cripple? In the end, only King Tang is left!"

"Xiao Yan, the king of the Tang Dynasty, is not very old and has good plasticity. I have read his Journey to the West, and he can write this book. Naturally, there is no problem with his literary talent, and there are many ways of dealing with people in the book. It can be seen that although the king of Tang is young, But they all understand. Even, there are many principles of governing the country in the text. If he is allowed to inherit the Datong, and then be assisted by Lord Zhou and Lord Li, within a few years, he may become a wise king! So my palace My suggestion is that the king of Tang should be the prince and inherit the great rule!"

"What do you two think?"

Xiao Mingying and Li Mingchong were taken aback for a moment, they didn't expect that the queen would elect Tang Wang Xiaoyan.

"Your Majesty's analysis is thorough, but if the eldest son King Jin is not established, but King Tang is established, I am worried that other princes will not accept it, and there will be wars at that time." Xiao Mingying expressed her inner worries.

Empress Zhou Xiangyun nodded. If you don't follow the rules, the other princes won't. Now is the best time to fight for the throne. For the sake of the throne, will the other princes be obedient?

Let's do it, whoever wins is who!

Zhou Xiangyun seemed to have figured it out a long time ago, and she only heard her shout: "Then let the six princes be invited to the palace, imprisoned by the imperial army, and after announcing the news of His Majesty's death, make a quick decision on the king of the Tang Dynasty, Xiao Yan. Inherit the Great Order! If this is the case, if the problem is solved in such a swift manner, even if the other princes think of fighting, how will they start? When the new emperor inherits the Great Rule and announce it to the world, are you still afraid?"

Li Mingchong was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is clever, this method is great."

But Xiao Mingying sighed, and said: "Your Majesty, I want to wait another two days to see how the prince is doing. If I really have no way to recover, then follow my mother's idea, how about it?"

Zhou Xiangyun glanced at Xiao Rui who was on the bed, walked straight over, and then sat by the bed and made the quilt for him.

Everyone present thought it was her kindness, but who knew that her left hand hidden in her sleeve was actually holding a silver needle, which slipped into Xiao Rui's wrist when she was tidying the quilt. If Xiao Rui was really pretending to be unconscious, it would be difficult to fake it .

But Xiao Rui is still suffocating, and may die at any time.

Zhou Xiangyun stood up, nodded and said, "Okay! Wait a day or two."

"Yes! Besides, please don't tell anyone about His Majesty's death." Xiao Mingying said.

Zhou Xiangyun said: "This is a major event, I understand."
