After calculations by the Imperial Astronomical Observatory, the new emperor's coronation ceremony was scheduled for June 25th.

At this time, there were still three days before the coronation ceremony.

The funeral of the late emperor was still going on. The entire palace was shrouded in white, and everyone was still immersed in the grief of the national mourning.

To be on the safe side, Xie Yuzhang used the excuse that the late emperor had appeared in his dreams and intentionally selected some of the late emperor's concubines to be buried alive with him, and locked up all the concubines, including Concubine Chun.

This naturally caused dissatisfaction among the concubines' families, especially Li.

However, Xie Yuzhang was not impatient. Instead, he spoke with certainty in his dreams and claimed that the late emperor had not yet decided on a candidate. He was worried that some of the concubines had deep feelings for the late emperor and had died first, so he locked them all up.

It was said that they were locked up, but in fact they just confined the concubines to their own palaces and no longer had to kneel down to the late emperor.

Li couldn't get angry at the moment, after all, the Crown Prince was thinking about everyone. Only the person himself knew whether the shoes fit him or not, and who knew which queen had a good relationship with His Majesty and was willing to be buried with him?

"Your Highness, aren't you afraid that some people will fight to the death with you over this?"

Controlling the women in the palace is a good move, but also a risky one. If it is not handled well, or if someone is beyond the control, something unexpected will happen.

Xie Yuzhang folded up the secret letter sent by Jiang Hao and replied: "What's the point of being afraid? If we don't do this, I'm afraid that more people will be killed before the coronation ceremony."

In just half a month, there have been three times when problems occurred with the food delivered from the imperial kitchen. If it weren't for Jiang Hao, it would have been impossible to guard against.

However, all they found were small fry who did things for money or because their lives were threatened, and they had to do it even though they knew it was a capital crime.

Therefore, after much thought, Xie Yuzhang came up with this idea of ​​"sending messages in dreams".

"There are still three days left. As long as you can successfully ascend the throne, even if the throne is not stable, there is no time to be more passive than now."

"After all these years, three days is not a long time."

Xie Yuzhang said with a faint smile, but only he could understand the bitterness.

Even though he sat on the throne, all he could see under his feet were bloody corpses.

It was her mother, wife, children, tribesmen, and followers...

Xie Yuzhang suddenly came back to his senses, realizing that his thoughts had drifted away, and quickly changed the subject to the secret letter: "Xu Xing gave you the secret letter, which means that there is no one trustworthy in the court for the time being. The hand above Yuzhou Prefecture is either a royal relative or an important official."

Jiang Hao was also surprised. Although it was not mentioned in the letter, the fact that Xu Xing gave the letter to her to deal with meant that the situation in Yuzhou Prefecture was more serious than they had imagined.

"Whether it's a royal relative or an important minister, Your Highness can only stay put for the next few days."

If the enemy is alerted, both the capital and Yuzhou Prefecture will be in danger.

A cornered dog will jump over the wall. Once the other party knows that the secret is exposed, he may do anything.

"Ok, I know."

Xie Yuzhang was somewhat worried about the safety of Xu Xing and others, and was also heartbroken over what had happened to the people. But for now, as Jiang Hao had said, he could only sit back and do nothing.

"Once the coronation ceremony is successfully completed, Duke Wei will be summoned back to the capital."

This is Xie Yuzhang’s plan.

Jiang Hao's eyelids jumped when he heard this: "Your Highness intends to solve it by force?"

"The officials of Yuzhou Prefecture, both big and small, are so corrupt that it would be difficult to catch them all in one fell swoop without sending out the army."

These people deserve death, not to mention that they have no remorse at all.

Even death would be a bargain for them.
