In the evening, the glow of the setting sun stretched Tang Chengyun's back very long.

After leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was another fruitless day. He tried every possible means but failed to get any useful information from this old minister.

A low-key mansion at the easternmost part of the inner city is the residence of Wei Yu, the famous prime minister of the Xiayang Dynasty.

In the slightly dim room, there was only a dim candlelight in the inner room.

The candlelight barely illuminated the bed, allowing people to see what was happening on the bed clearly.

I saw an old man with a pale face, sunken cheeks, withered hair, lifeless eyes, and lying there with his mouth half open.

"H--H--"

The sound that came out of his throat was very hoarse, like the sound of an old and worn-out bellows.

There was a person standing in front of the bed with a sad face and slightly red and swollen eyes, watching his father who was having difficulty breathing on the bed, but he could do nothing.

This old minister, who has served through three generations of the Xiayang Dynasty and worked hard all his life, has finally reached the end of his life.

Ironically, even though he was the prime minister, the quilt he was covering himself with when he was dying was still patched.

Suddenly, Wei Yu's hands, which were as dry as firewood, struggled to rise, and his eyes regained a bit of spirit.

"Father"

Wei Hang held the hand his father extended with tears streaming down his face, sobbing uncontrollably.

"Your servant Wei Yu, I failed to live up to the trust of the late emperor, and failed to assist the new ruler in any way. I die with hatred in my heart. I die with hatred in my heart."

The voice was loud and clear, echoing in the room for a long time.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Wei Yu spat out a mouthful of black blood and died.

Soon, the news of Prime Minister Wei Yu's death spread like a gust of wind, first whistling in the imperial capital for a long time, and then blowing to all corners of the dynasty.

Perhaps it was God's will, for what followed was the inexplicable appearance of Tang Tiansheng's corpse in the Taiji Hall, where it happened to be seen by hundreds of civil and military officials.

As a result, the news of the emperor's death spread from the imperial capital to the whole world. The only difference was that this time no one dared to question the authenticity of the news.

Two days later, the news of the major event spread throughout the world, but the scene of universal grief that should have occurred did not occur. Instead, it was like pouring cold water into hot oil, making the already chaotic situation even more chaotic.

The world was in turmoil and the situation of the dynasty changed dramatically.

First of all, the Huangzhou Divine Punishment Organization was extremely anxious because of being exposed. The appearance of Tang Tiansheng's corpse in the Taiji Hall caught them off guard despite being fully prepared.

Let all the civil and military officials see that the Divine Punishment Organization is simply unable to prevent the spread of news. It is impossible to kill all the civil and military officials, because many of them have already defected to the organization.

The seven great generals in charge of Huangzhou, including General Yingyu, General Zhufu, General Leixi, and a number of divine servants including the Divine Servant Duwu and the Divine Servant Youfu, all gathered here to discuss countermeasures.

The jackal-fox god in black robes said, "It is a fact that the news has been exposed. Huangzhou has been occupied by us. Our current plan is to prevent the princes and princes outside from joining forces to attack us."

"Don't forget, the death of the emperor means that the country is without a ruler, and the officials are leaderless. What should we do? Are we really going to support Tang Chengyun to ascend the throne?"

The Yingyu God General was wearing a dark blue dress and said in a cold voice, "Humph, there has been no news about the Emperor's Jade Seal. How can we support him to take the throne? Even if we support him, it will not be a legitimate position. His brothers will definitely not accept it. When the time comes, we will unite and fight against him."

"I think there are many things wrong with this matter. We should focus on keeping the princes and lords safe. It is not appropriate to make enemies with them at this time."

General Zhufu seemed to have remembered something, and said to the Duwu Divine Servant: "Have you found the Crown Prince's Jade Seal that I ordered you to find? With this, we can gain the upper hand in justice."

The Poison Wu Divine Servant shook his head and said, "Sir, I have searched every corner of the palace, but I can't find the Crown Prince's seal. I dug three feet into the ground and still couldn't find it. It's really strange."

Everyone was silent for a long time after hearing this.

As the news spread, it soon reached the ears of several princes and kings.

The first to know the news were the eighth prince Tang Chengxuan of Caozhou and the Xianyang King Tang Tianyu of Yunzhou.

When the Eighth Prince Tang Chengxuan heard the news, he was stunned at first. Although there had been related rumors before, he had always remained skeptical, but this time it was obviously true.

When he heard that his ninth brother Tang Chengyun became the governor of Huangzhou and took over Wei Yu's job, the eight brother seemed to have thought of something and said sarcastically: "Humph, the ninth brother is a waste. He can take advantage of the situation and push the boat along. It's just that with the emperor brothers around, you may be able to sit safely."

He slowly came to the courtyard. The cold wind seemed to carry the bitterness of the sea water. The white mist he exhaled instantly dissipated in the wind. He looked towards the direction of the imperial capital and murmured, "My brothers all regard that place as a taboo. I hope you are not that stupid, Old Nine."

"If they really sit on it, it will be interesting. I want to see what those brothers will do."

After saying this, he showed a sarcastic smile.

Prince Xianyang Tang Tianyu actually already knew the result. When he entered the palace after the New Year, he already knew that it would be his final farewell to his royal brother.

But when the news was actually announced to the world, he still couldn't help feeling sad.

The prince sat in the courtyard, with fine wine on the stone table. He drank it alone, looking a little lonely.

A long, long time passed, and before he knew it, Tang Tianyu was already in tears.

Next is the third prince Tang Chengze, but because he is still in the critical period of getting rid of the aristocratic family, he does not have extra time to think about this series of things. If he, the governor, does not even have the right to speak, everything else is just empty talk.

At the same time, he knew that this was just the beginning, and he was looking forward to how his other brothers would react after hearing the news.

The eldest prince Tang Chengqian and the second prince Tang Chengge also received the news one after another. As the ones most likely to ascend the throne at that time, they naturally did not want to sit idly by and watch the ninth prince Tang Chengyun do nothing.

Both of them immediately summoned their civil and military officials and held an emergency meeting to discuss and make decisions.

There were also two princes who had already rebelled. When they heard the news, they were so happy that they danced with joy.

The death of Tang Tiansheng meant that the huge rock pressing down on their heads had disappeared, and there was no news that Tang Tiansheng had been appointed as the crown prince, so ascending to this position would depend entirely on one's own ability.

Of course, as uncles, they naturally thought that their nephews would not be their opponents.

When the two heard the news, they seemed to have similar ideas, so they specially ordered people to exchange letters and discuss the matter.

As for the Fourth Prince Tang Chengbin, this prince who was under house arrest in the Governor's Mansion and was sometimes lucid and sometimes crazy, naturally could not get any news.

Chu Mo and the others had already discussed that if the situation of "the princes attacking Dong" really occurred, Mo Yu Qilin, who was pretending to be Tang Chengbin, would naturally respond actively and bring the heroes of Water Margin to join in the fun.
