The news that Ling Lei said was undoubtedly a blow to the queen, her body swayed, her hand was soft, the long sword fell to the ground, the whole person was suddenly weak, dizzy, how many days of spiritual support collapsed at this moment, and the whole person was about to fall backwards, and Ling Lei's eyes were quick, he stepped forward to hold on, and exclaimed: "Niangniang, you ...... Take care of your phoenix! ”

Han Shu held Ling Lei's arm, walked to the chair with all her strength, and sat down in a gloomy manner, her face was pale, her eyes were empty, "Impossible...... This is by no means possible...... Zen ...... Zen'er is not my son? She seemed to be asking Ling Lei, and seemed to be muttering to herself.

Ling Lei knelt down at her feet and said solemnly: "What the slave said, there is not a word of lie. ”

"Where is Gui Xi'er now?" Han Shu asked weakly.

Ling Lei smiled bitterly: "Back to Niangniang, there were a total of five people who delivered babies for Niangniang, three stable women, and one Confucius Academy...... The Confucius Institute sentenced her to die less than a few days after she gave birth to Lin'er. It was precisely because he knew that the Confucius Academy had sentenced him to death, and Gui Xi'er knew that something was wrong, and he wanted to escape, but Han Shang had already sent someone to spy on him in the palace, and he couldn't get out of the palace at all. He knew that he would be killed and exterminated, the limit was approaching, but he didn't want to die in vain, just before he was killed, the slave needed some medicinal materials here, and sent someone to get it, he took the opportunity to deliberately make trouble, and did not send medicinal materials, that was to lead the slave over. The minion was a little annoyed at the time, and went to visit it himself, and it was at that time that he took the opportunity to stuff a letter that had been prepared a long time ago to the minion, and wrote the original copy of the story of stealing beams and changing pillars on the secret letter. After the slave saw it, he was surprised, and only thought that Gui Xi'er was crazy and ignored it, but after a few days, Gui Xi'er died, saying that he had taken the medicine by mistake...... At that time, the slave believed that what Gui Xi'er said in the letter was probably true, after all, no one dared to joke about such a big matter. ”

Han Shu said: "Where is the secret letter?" ”

Ling Lei hurriedly said: "The stakes are so high, that secret letter slave didn't dare to keep it on his body, so he burned it on the same day...... But the slave swore to heaven that what he said today was not a word false, but there was a trace of deception, and he was willing to suffer five thunderbolts. After a pause, he lowered his voice and said: "When I was a slave, I also secretly inquired, in addition to the early death sentence of the Confucius Academy, the three stable women who delivered the babies also did not know where to go......!" ”

Han Shu's lips were purple, and her whole body trembled, but at this moment, she heard the sound of footsteps outside the house, Ling Lei became nervous, but she heard a shrill voice from outside the door: "Queen Mother, Han Shang sent someone to report that the ministers will come to the Qianxin Hall within an hour, and ask the Queen Mother to change her clothes quickly!" ”

Han Shu didn't know where the strength came from for a while, Huo Ran stood up and said sharply: "This palace is going to find him and see how he explains this matter!" She gritted her teeth and was about to go out, but Ling Lei hurriedly got up, ran to Han Shushan in small steps and knelt down to stop her, and said urgently: "Queen Mother, you ...... Don't be impulsive, and if you go like this, you will suffer! ”

Han Shu looked at Ling Lei coldly, and Ling Lei said in a low voice: "Niangniang, Han Shang's henchmen are all over the place, and you can't confront them head-on at this time......!" ”

Han Shu said coldly: "What do you say this palace should do?" ”

At this moment, I suddenly heard a loud "click" outside, which was the sound of thunder from the sky.

……

……

The rain finally fell.

The hazy weather already signaled that the rain was falling, and after an earth-shattering thunderstorm, the raindrops of beans fell from the sky, and hundreds of courtiers were suddenly in the torrential rain.

Just when the ministers were being washed by the torrential rain, in the sparse raindrops, the sound of "stabbing lala" slowly sounded, the door of the Taiji Hall was finally opened, and the eyes of the ministers suddenly turned to the main gate of the Taiji Palace, and soon slowly walked out of the inside Several eunuchs dressed in white silk came, when the first eunuch walked to the edge of the jade railing, looked at the black ministers in the square, and finally sang loudly in a sharp voice: "The emperor is dead!" ”

In the shocked eyes of many ministers, the eunuch sang three times in a row, and more than a dozen white eunuchs behind him immediately sang in unison: "The emperor has died!" ”

In the midst of the voice, the eunuchs took the lead in kneeling, and Han Xuandao, who was in the first place in the list of ministers, had already knelt down, and hundreds of ministers knelt in the square almost at the same time.

Countless white-armored soldiers on both sides of the square with spears in one hand also knelt on the ground in unison, and thousands of people knelt down on the wide square, and the scene was very spectacular.

Soon, there was a cry of sorrow and weeping from among the courtiers, whether they were really sad about the departure of His Majesty the Emperor or not, as courtiers at this time they still showed the reaction they should have shown.

Outside the Taiji Palace, in the torrential rain, there was a sad sound.

Fang Weiqing was in tears, the tears on his face were mixed with the rain, and he couldn't tell where the rain was and where the tears were.

The ministers wept for a long time in the heavy rain, Han Xuandao finally got up first, his face was full of sadness, he turned his head and said loudly: "My lords, the saint has died, and the whole country is grieving, I can't keep crying here, and I have to go into the palace to discuss the future!" ”

His words are actually the same as the holy decree now, as soon as this words came out, a large number of courtiers got up, Han Xuandao was the first to go to the Taiji Palace, many courtiers were already quite unbearable in the heavy rain, they were all pampered, and immediately followed.

After a while, the ministers in the square had already entered the magnificent Taiji Hall, but at this time, the dragon seat was empty, and the next thing was to discuss how to deal with the emperor's funeral, but the most important thing was to discuss who would sit on the chair.

Many ministers had grief on their faces, and in a moment, a large number of eunuchs carried the boxes to the palace, and the officials opened the boxes to see that they were all mourning clothes that had been made.

"The queen mother instructed the Shangyi supervisor to hurry out, please change it up, and then go to the Qianxin Palace!" The steward eunuch explained.

Some courtiers sneered in their hearts, not to mention that the armor outside had already put on white silk, but the hundreds of sets of finely made mourning clothes in front of them were not something that could be made in a hurry.

But at this moment, who dared to say a word, they changed into mourning clothes, and the eunuchs and palace maids had already covered the gold and silver things in the Taiji Hall with white veils, and the entire Taiji Hall was plain white, which looked very weird.

Although there is no emperor on the dragon seat, according to the etiquette system, Han Xuandao, who is the first assistant of the cabinet, still leads the ministers to bow to the dragon throne for nine times, and naturally many people cry sadly.

After the ministers got up, Han Xuandao turned around with a solemn expression, arched his hand, and said bitterly: "My lords, the saint has died, and the heavens and the earth are sad. However, the country cannot be without a king for a day, and the holy country and society must also have a new monarch to take over ......! He glanced at the ministers, and said slowly: "Now that Bozhou County has rebelled, Han Mo is even more self-respecting, when the country is in danger, it is time for the saint to die, it is to make matters worse, as a minister of Dayan, but we must focus on the society of Dayan, we must establish a new monarch today and stabilize the people's hearts, otherwise the consequences are really unimaginable." ”

At that moment, many ministers agreed: "What Lord Han said is very true! ”

"The queen mother's decree, I will go to the Qianxin Hall to worship the saint later, but before I go, the official is not talented, but I have a few words I want to discuss with you!" The Taiji Hall is very large, although it accommodates hundreds of courtiers, but Han Xuandao's voice is extremely loud and powerful, and it reaches everyone's ears: "This official said a word of sin, now the queen is in a sad situation, and many state affairs are difficult to manage, as courtiers, we have to share the worries of the queen mother." The successor of the king, can not be delayed, late will change, this official is willing to discuss with you here a charter, determine the choice of the new king, and then enter the Qianxin Palace with the mother, and then announce to the world the news of the death of the saint, but at the same time also announce the choice of the new monarch in the world, I don't know what you see? ”

Han Xince, the official of the ministry, was the first to come out and said: "Han Shang is the old man who seeks the country's opinion, the country cannot be without a king for a day, and it is right to make a decision early." ”

At that moment, many officials chimed in.

Some officials even thought in their hearts: "This Han Xuandao will never take this opportunity to seek the dynasty and usurp the throne, right?" "Outside the Taiji Hall is a large number of white-armored imperial forest troops, now all in the hands of Han Xuandao, although Han Xuandao at this time to seek the dynasty and usurp the throne, will be scolded by the world, but if Han Xuandao insists on going his own way and violates the etiquette system, no one may be able to stop him.

But more people are like a mirror in their hearts, feeling that the current situation, before Han Mo and Zhao Xiqiao are completely dealt with, Han Xuandao is such a shrewd person, and he will never make a situation where he will seek to usurp the throne and put himself in the target of the public.

Han Xuandao smiled bitterly: "The saint died, and the prince ascended the throne, this was originally the system of the ancestors, but ...... As you all know, the crown prince went to the border a year ago to inspect the border and never returned, and there was no news. The court also openly and secretly sent countless people to inquire about the whereabouts of the prince, but there has been no news ......! At this, his face was full of gloom and he shook his head.

Some officials thought in their hearts: "Do you really want to see the prince come back?" You Han Xuandao sent someone to find the prince, and this is not true, but whether you want to find the prince and bring him back, or send someone to assassinate him, then only you know in your heart. ”

Although many things have not been explained, the officials in the officialdom naturally have a mirror in their hearts, and it is also clear what kind of situation the situation is.

In the eyes of the officials, the Han family is in power to the government and the opposition, and the acting king was born to Han Shu, so the Han family is equivalent to the mother family of the acting king, and for the Han family, the enthronement of the acting king is the most in line with their interests.

As soon as Han Xuandao's words fell, an official stepped forward and said: "Han Shang, although according to the ancestral system, the saint died, and the crown prince should ascend the throne, but ...... But now that there is no news of the prince, can't we find the prince, and we can't set up a new monarch in the Great Yan Kingdom? As Lord Han said, now that my Great Yan Kingdom is in crisis, Zhao Xiqiao in Bozhou and Han Mo in the northwest are all ambitious, and the heart of rebellion has been revealed...... I'm afraid that my Dayan's century-old foundation is in danger! This person is generous and pathetic, but he is also an acting official.
