Dew timid

The situation in the entire capital is treacherous, and the first to be quietly brought into the palace are some veterans of the three dynasties.

A group of old people knelt in front of the death case, their expressions were mournful, and they seemed to be planning to kneel for a long time.

If it wasn't for Lu Guan who forcibly helped him up in the name of the world's needy princes, he might not be able to last until the next day, and there would not be enough people in the hospital.

The news of Emperor Chengde's death spread quickly, but there are countless pairs of eyes on the changes in the capital.

The Royals can't afford this game.

At this time, the concubine also came in a hurry.

The youngest nineteenth prince was carried all the way by the nanny, and was only put down at the gate of the Changxing Palace. The childish eyes were watery and innocent.

Still feeling drowsy after waking up, some don't understand who is lying in this coffin, and what are these adults doing.

The concubine sobbed softly and put on plain white clothes. Most of the cries were mixed with confusion about the future.

The nineteenth prince was the most favored during Emperor Chengde's lifetime.

And among all the princes, he is the most similar to Emperor Chengde.

The appearance is [-]% similar, and the character is even more carved out of the same mold.

Emperor Chengde once made a joke, "If it weren't for the fact that my nineteenth son is too young, the world will encourage him."

Those who don't have a heart will just listen to it, and those who have a heart probably don't know what kind of heart they have for the nineteenth prince.

When Emperor Chengde passed away, he was in his prime, and he still had a good time to work hard to govern. It was enough for the nineteenth prince to grow up.

It's a pity that the sky failed to fulfill people's wishes.

The coffin of Emperor Chengde was placed in the main hall, and it happened that the harem raised monks, so Eunuch Gao went to bring Master Tanzhi and others who were still asleep.

He asked them to read it on the spot first, and then quickly sent someone to invite monks from Huguo Temple.

It is a big event for the saint to go to the funeral.

The nation mourns.

The incident happened suddenly, but the palace was still orderly, white jokes were hung all around, and the whole capital was shrouded in a layer of plain grief.

The rest of the people moved to the side hall to discuss matters, except for some concubines who had followed Emperor Chengde for a long time and stayed in the main hall.

At this time, the imperial guards came with the seriously injured hidden guards.

The man was dressed in black clothes that almost blended into the night. The smell of blood was strong, and two bloodstains were drawn on the ground. It turned out that both his legs were broken by sharp weapons. Concubine Liang covered the eyes of the nineteenth prince and turned him in his arms.

His eyes hurt a little.

The man held his breath, and left the last sentence: "In the imperial...in the imperial garden, there are guards...blocking your majesty's way, and the servant stepped forward...but was, was ambushed..."

He spoke a word with breathlessness, the last sentence stuck on the tip of his tongue, and he lost his breath.

But it was enough for everyone to understand. A few words strung together will tell that Emperor Chengde was assassinated!

Lu Yu lowered his eyes hastily, his eyes flickering with horror. After finding out that Emperor Chengde was out of breath, he wanted to call for help.

But in this way, his appearance is completely indisputable and difficult to explain.

He walked out of the palace gate along the path, unaware that all this had fallen under the noses of others.

And it seemed that someone had solved the trouble behind him. This knowledge made Lu Yu's back completely wet.

Invisibly, he was strangled by a pair of hands.

As long as the matter remains unsolved for a day, that person can hold his hand and threaten him for a day.

Lu Guan was furious when he heard the words. He was a military general, and immediately kicked down the tables and chairs beside him. He couldn't hide the anger in his eyes and said: "Check! Give me a good investigation! I want to see who it is Dare to assassinate the royal father in the palace!"

Perhaps it was a certain word of these words that hurt Lu Yu, and he who was originally silent retorted, "The most urgent thing is the funeral of the emperor, if you make a big move at this time, what will those people outside the palace think! "

Lu Guan frowned slightly, turned his head to look at him, and said with a strange expression, "Brother Huang is still waiting for a crime to appear here now? There are many doubts about the father's matter. You don't want to bring the thief to justice, but you just want to cover it up, don't you?" Brother Huang has ghosts in his heart?"

Lu Yu choked, and gave him a cold look, not wanting to argue.

Those who can come to this side hall are either concubines from the harem, or people like King Jiangbei who can shock the crowd outside, or some respected veterans.

At this moment, everyone's heart is clear.

There are many doubts about Emperor Chengde's death, but he has no idea how to investigate.

Lu Guan is the fifth son of the late emperor, his words are of great importance among generals, and his words stirred up a thousand waves.

Song Taifu was about to kneel down immediately, hoping that Guan Wang would stop uttering wild words.

Now that there are so many pairs of eyes watching, how can such words come out of the mouth at will.

Lu Guan helped him up, knowing that he had slipped his tongue and didn't speak. He and Lu Yu stood on the left and the right, and they looked at each other as irrelevant and opposite.

While waiting, everyone's eyes fell on Lu Qi, who was the most calm from the beginning to now.

Seeing his calm and calm expression, the hearts of everyone were slightly relieved.

Lu Yu stood aside with a bad complexion. Since he was a child, he has been praised by everyone as the Jade Prince. He was held high. When did he come to such a muddy place?

He asked Fu Chengci, who seemed to be casually asking, "What did the prince send someone back to get?"

He is confident in his relationship with Fu Chengci. The friendship between the two has existed since childhood, and he just wants to use his relationship with Fu Chengci to achieve his goals.

There was an alienated and indifferent smile on the corner of Fu Chengci's mouth: "Your Highness, wait a little longer, I think the king will come soon."

He had never called it so unfamiliar before.

Lu Yu's complexion was stiff. He had a ghost in his heart and was anxious. Now that Fu Chengci also touched his face, he looked bad and even more depressed.

Indeed, after waiting for less than half a stick of incense, the person came back.

The guard who escorted came in first, followed by the guards around Fu Chengci.

Everyone's eyes were on the figure behind him, their pupils trembled slightly, and they saw that what he was holding respectfully with both hands was not an imperial decree, but something else!

This object was taken out at this time, could it be that Emperor Chengde left a will before his death?

If there is a will, how could it be taken by the King of Jiangbei...

The people on the side looked at each other, and then immediately looked at Eunuch Gao. The latter also had a somewhat surprised expression. They were all human beings present, so they immediately guessed that there was something wrong with this matter.

Fu Chengci took the imperial decree from Wei Ye, and held it in front of Eunuch Gao with both hands.

The neck drooped slightly, and the voice was clear, "Eunuch Gao, declare the decree."

Eunuch Gao swallowed after receiving the imperial edict, as if what he was holding was not an imperial edict, but some heavy burden.

Unfolding, the seal in the lower right corner is indeed from Yuxi.

As for the handwriting, it was also written by Emperor Chengde himself.

Eunuch Gao was completely confused. He claimed to be with Emperor Chengde every step of the way, but he didn't even know when Emperor Chengde wrote such an imperial edict.

Lu Guan, Song Taifu and the others looked at him with inquiry.

It wasn't until Eunuch Gao nodded that everyone accepted their fate. Everyone should follow the last will of Emperor Chengde.

Everyone in the hall knelt down, and even the soldiers outside the door knelt down.

Listen to the purpose together.

"Following the fate of heaven, the emperor's edict said: The seventh son of the emperor, Lu Yu, is gentle and respectful, and intelligent. I am very pleased. I will grant the treasure, establish the crown prince, and be ranked in the East Palace. This is it. ①"

After finishing reading, Eunuch Gao breathed a sigh of relief, his palms were full of sweat, and his voice trembled a little.

After a while, everyone heard him say: "King Wei, come forward to receive the order."

Lu Yong's fingers were clenched into the palm of his hand, and his forehead was pressed heavily on the cool floor tiles, causing a burst of excitement, and then he said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Lu Yong accepts the order."

He stood up in the corner of everyone's cautious vision, and went to receive the imperial edict.

Others are surprised, Lu Yong's surprise is no less than others.

It can even be said that this should be a shock.

But without any surprise, he exchanged a glance with that person, those eyes were smiling, like the smile of a fox after he succeeds in a trick.

Lu Yong's heart was a little confused at this moment, and he couldn't help but wanted to step forward and question Fu Chengci.

Does all this have anything to do with him?

His becoming the crown prince was as sudden as the sudden death of Emperor Chengde.

It is as interesting as child's play.

Concubine Liang let out a long sigh of relief as she supported the nineteenth prince. She felt fortunate for no reason. Although the surface of Dachu was calm, there were powerful enemies outside and vassal kings inside.

They are now orphans, widows and no one to protect them. If they fall for this person, they will definitely be skinned and eat their own flesh and blood before giving up.

Today, fortunately, fortunately.

Eunuch Gao stepped forward and bowed to Lu Yong, and asked, "When will His Royal Highness be enthroned?"

Fu Chengci took a step forward and said first: "Why don't you just make it within three days, please ask your father-in-law to recite the imperial decree at court tomorrow."

The king of Jiangbei replied on his behalf, and everyone was not so shocked. At first, they thought that the imperial decree was fake, but how could the holy majesty's personal traces and jade seals be fake.

That luck was broken, and everyone was left full of doubts.

Under his gaze, Eunuch Gao felt his back suddenly shudder, and said repeatedly: "Your servant obeys."

Fu Chengci was condescending, and slowly said word by word: "I think you have heard the content of the imperial decree just now, right? After Emperor Chengde wrote it, he personally handed it over to the king for safekeeping. It was announced, but such an accident happened unexpectedly. The abbot of the Huguo Temple and Master Jinu from the back hall of the Changxing Palace were all witnesses."

Even if Lu Guan was not reconciled and had doubts, he had no right to question the imperial decree.

As for the crown prince, it is reasonable to watch the night for the first emperor, so Lu Qi changed into a filial dress and walked towards the main hall.

Afterwards came Concubine Liang's mother and son, and the three of them walked a long way to the main hall.

It was the prince who came, and these monks had obviously been signaled in advance.

I heard them salute in unison, "I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Lu Qi retracted his jaw in a subtle way, which was a simple return gift.

He knelt in front of the coffin of Emperor Chengde, his neck was slightly bent, and the white neck was upwards with well-defined side edges, noble and cold.

The expression on his face was mixed, and the sound of monks chanting sutras came from his ears.

Sitting on the position of prince is not what he dreamed of, nor is it expected.

It was like a sudden 'surprise' being stuffed into his arms without warning.

A giant, piping hot potato.

The heart in his chest was beating extremely fast, as if he was trying to find out which step went wrong since he played so many chess pieces, but it pushed him to this position.
