In the side hall, there are already hundreds of civil and military officials.

The civil officials were headed by Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang, and the military generals were headed by Cai Mao, all of whom were blocked in the palace.

As soon as Liu Biao died, many of the officials panicked. Such a sudden thing surprised the officials of the Chu State, and at the same time felt a storm coming.

Li Jue was very angry and said loudly: "The lord's death is unknown, it must be thoroughly investigated, thoroughly investigated!" ”

Immediately, Han Song stood up and said to Kuai Liang; "Kuai Gong, you are the lord of the lord's shares, and it is your duty to investigate the murder of the lord, and you can't relax!"

"Enough!"

Suddenly, Liu Xian stood up and shouted.

Historically, Liu was first Liu Biao's other driver, then surrendered to Cao Cao, and finally became the Shangshu Order of Wei State, and was a giant of Cao Wei. Now Liu Xian is serving under Liu Biao, and he is very respected by Liu Biao, and he has a lot of power, second only to Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue. He shouted, and Li Jue, Han Song and the others didn't dare to chatter endlessly.

Liu Xian waved his sleeves and said with a sinking face: "The sudden death of the lord makes us worried." But the serpent shall not be headless, nor shall the kingdom be without a king. What needs to be done now is to deal with the funeral, and at the same time determine that the eldest son will inherit the inheritance of the lord and stabilize the situation in Xiangyang, and then there will be time to investigate the cause of the lord's death. What's more, when the Shu army is killed, the Cao family and the Sun family are like wolves and tigers, so they must be cautious! ”

After saying this, everyone's faces changed greatly.

When the officials heard this, they all thought it was reasonable.

Kuai Liang frowned and said, "Shizong (Liu Xianzi), I have already arranged for the chamberlain to inform the two princes, and invite the eldest prince Qi and the second prince Cong to come to the palace to worship the lord. Then the unification was decided, and the eldest son Qi succeeded Chu Jun. "Liu Qi is Liu Biao's eldest son, and Liu Cong is Liu Biao's second son.

At this time, Liu Qi was already in his twenties and was fully capable of inheriting Liu Biao's foundation.

Not only that, Liu Qi and Liu Biao look very similar, and they are handsome and chic, with a decisive personality, Liu Biao likes Liu Qi very much, so Liu Qi has a high evaluation among the civil and military officials under Liu Biao.

As for Liu Cong, he is still a boy who is less than ten years old, and it is impossible to inherit the inheritance.

Historically, Liu Cong inherited the foundation because Liu Cong married the Cai family and married the niece of the Cai family, so Liu Biao's wife Cai favored Liu Cong, and united Zhang Yun and others to control the situation. But now Liu Biao did not marry Cai's daughter as his wife, Liu Cong and Liu Qi are also brothers, friends and brothers, and the relationship is very good, and there is no competition for position.

In this way, all officials recognized Liu Qi as taking over Liu Biao's position.

Kuai Yue and Liu Xian made a final decision, and the officials in the palace quickly settled down and did not continue to make noise.

Half an hour later, there was still no news.

Liu Xian asked, "Zirou, are you sure you really sent someone to inform the two sons?" ”

Kuai Yue replied, "Indeed! ”

Liu Xian's brows furrowed, and he suddenly said loudly: "It's not good, the lord was killed, and the two sons are also in danger." Deju, you immediately lead troops to protect the two sons and escort them to the palace. ”

"Okay, I'll go."

Cai Mao did not hesitate and immediately walked towards the outside of the hall.

The situation is critical, and there is no room for the slightest delay.

However, Cai Mao took a step out, and as soon as he stepped out of the threshold of the palace, a chamberlain hurriedly ran in. The waiter had a sad face, as if he had died of his father. He was thinking about other things in his mind, and he didn't notice that Cai Mao also walked out, so he didn't stop and collided directly with Cai Mao.

"Bang!"

Cai Mao was caught off guard and was knocked to the ground.

The chamberlain screamed, fell backwards, and fell to the ground on all fours.

"Bastard!"

Cai Mao stood up, took the Jinxian crown on his head, sorted out his clothes, and shouted, "How did you walk, are you blind?" What kind of system is panicked. Cai Mao still had to pick up Liu Qi and Liu Cong to the palace, didn't bother with the inner servants, scolded a few words, and then got up and went to the outside of the hall.

The chamberlain got up, apologized to Cai Mao again and again, and then said, "Oh no, something big happened again." ”

When Cai Mao heard this, her body stiffened and suddenly stopped in place.

He stared at the chamberlain, and a bad feeling rose in his heart.

The chamberlain said intermittently: "Two sons, the two sons were assassinated on the way to the palace, and they have died on the spot, and now the bodies are parked outside the palace." ”

"Boom!!"

The intermittent words of the inner servant are like thunder outside the sky.

For a moment, the hall fell into a low dead silence, and then burst into a burst of bitter crying and screaming. Liu Qi and Liu Cong were killed, which simply killed Liu Biao's roots.

"What to do? The eldest son and the second son are dead, will the heavens kill my Chu country? ”

"We must find out the murderer of the lord, the eldest son and the second son, and after the murderer is caught, he must be divided into five horses and executed by Ling Chi, hateful, hateful!"

"The state of Chu is in danger, the country of Chu is in danger!"

……

All the courtiers, both old and young, wept loudly. On the one hand, they are sad that Liu Biao has died and there is no heir, and on the other hand, they are worried about their future. Cai Mao walked back, with a solemn expression, and asked in a deep voice: "Yidu, Zirou, Shizong, you are the head of the civil officials, tell me what to do now?" ”

Cai Mao was also very worried in her heart, the person who shot was too ruthless, not only murdered Liu Biao, but now also killed Liu Qi and Liu Cong in public, cutting off the heir of Jingzhou.

Liu Xian said: "First collect the bodies of the lord, the eldest son, and the second son, and prepare for burial." ”

Immediately, he looked at Kuai Liang and asked, "Zirou, what do you think should be done?" ”

When he asked, Yi Yuan stood up and said loudly, "Lords, please listen to me. The king of Chu died, the eldest son and the second son were killed, as Brother Shizong said, the country cannot be without a king for a day, when arranging the affairs of the queen of Chu, you must also choose the candidate to succeed the monarch of Chu, otherwise the state of Chu will be turbulent and the situation will be out of control! ”

Kuai Yue's eyes narrowed slightly, a coldness flashed in his eyes, and he asked, "Uncle Ji, who do you think will succeed you?" ”

Yi Yuan said solemnly: "If the eldest son and the second son are still there, of course they will be the heirs of the king of Chu, but now the king of Chu has been killed, and there is no one to inherit the foundation." Therefore, only choose a virtuous and benevolent person to succeed, I heard that Liu Bei, the king of Han, is a relative of the Han family, and this person has always been valued by the king of Chu, and the two are called brothers, I think Liu Bei, the king of Han, can inherit the throne of the monarch. ”

Yi's voice fell, and there was a lot of discussion in the hall.

Cai Mao, Liu Xian, Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang looked at each other, with a solemn look on their faces.

The four of them did not speak, and some of the people in the main hall had already gone to the book. Yang Yi arched his hand and said: "I think Liu Bei, the king of Han, can take over the position of Chu Jun, which is of great benefit to the stability of Chu State." ”

Immediately afterwards, Fu Xun also said: "I seconded the proposal and agreed to the Han King to take over." ”

Wang Wei continued: "I also agree and recognize Liu Bei's succession. ”

As soon as Yi Yuan spoke, Yang Yi, Fu Xun, Wang Wei, Han Song and others agreed with Liu Bei to take over. But these people all have one thing in common, they all have little power, or even only one official position, no real power.

Liu Xian's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "This matter is big, and we must be cautious." From today, martial law will be imposed in Xiangyang to avoid abnormalities. General Cai, you immediately take over the military power in the city, close the city gates, and take charge of the security of Xiangyang. After finishing speaking, Liu Xian looked at Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang and asked, "Yidu, Zirou, what do you think of this?" ”

Kuai Liang said: "That's exactly how it should be! ”

Kuai Yue also arched his hand and said: "Shi Zong did the right thing! ”

After Cai Mao got the order, he left the hall in a hurry. Yi Ji had no right to refute, but could only admit that the expression on his face flashed with solemnity, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Yi's expression was all watched by Kuai Yue and the others.

Ps； Five of two; It's the last day, so I ask for your support, thank you, thank you!
