The prince was a little surprised when he heard this, and at this moment he took a closer look at the officials in the side hall, and found that most of the people standing with Shen Shikang were his own supporters.

These officials' faces were full of approval, thinking that they already knew Shen Shikang's plans.

On the other side, there is a clear distinction between this side, and the officials on that side have different expressions and are silent.

Although the prince was already tempted in his heart, his father had just died for a day, and he was so eager that he was despised.

Throughout the ages, filial piety is greater than the sky. Although he was also tempted, he was able to hold it down.

What's more, as soon as the minister of the DPRK and China mentioned it, he agreed, which was too unreserved.

"Ladies and gentlemen, my father just passed away yesterday, and the palace is grief-stricken. The matter of inheriting the throne will be discussed later! The prince's face was sad, and he shook his head again and again, as if he was still a little resistant to this matter.

"The lower official thinks that what His Royal Highness said is reasonable, this is the period of national mourning, in order to fulfill filial piety, the prince should serve the mourning for three years. Even if it is for the country and the people, and you should not waste government affairs, then you should also serve the twenty-seventh month. If he ascended the throne at this time, it would be too hasty. If there is no enthronement ceremony, how can it be announced to the world? And this is also a grievance to His Royal Highness, it is really impossible to do it, why don't you wait a little longer! ”

Seeing this scene, Hu Mao, the right capital, couldn't help but be anxious, and ascended the throne in a hurry. Besides, the last deployment failed and he wanted to find another way. Of course, it can be delayed for a few days, that is, a few days.

Qian Licong, the imperial envoy of the left deputy capital, turned his head and glanced at Hu Maoshen deeply, this usually inconspicuous person, has he taken refuge in which vassal king?

Otherwise, why would the other party prevent His Royal Highness the Crown Prince from ascending the throne? These princelings are looking forward to the day when the prince ascends the throne!

One person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven! The words are not rough.

As long as the crown prince ascends the throne as emperor, are they, the officials who have long followed the prince, still worried about their future without a future?

"Master Hu, what you just said is indeed reasonable. But now the people of Daxing have broken into the palace and regard our Dayan Palace as nothing. And the border pass doesn't know what the reason is, it will put these barbarians into the territory of Dayan, although he has already sent Lord Yin to the border pass to investigate the matter, but who knows if these Daxing thieves will succeed? Now that the court is worried about internal and external troubles, if there is a change in the border pass, we are not ready, wouldn't it give the other party an opportunity? ”

Qian Licong saw that Hu Maoshen's face remained unchanged, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he said: "His Royal Highness is the heir of the country, and he should focus on the overall situation at this moment." It is natural that he should ascend the throne earlier and handle the affairs of the DPRK and China. As for the enthronement ceremony, it is not impossible to make up for it later. And this time, it is necessary to find out the matter at the border and quickly list the methods to deal with it, which is the most important thing. ”

Qin Baolin, the Duke of Qin, narrowed his eyes, and also stepped forward and said, "Not bad!" Those thieves who were so prosperous dared to break into the palace to assassinate, which shows that they came with a lot of people. Moreover, there will inevitably be changes at the border gates in the near future, so we should arrest these people as soon as possible, torture them, and force them to find out their plans, so as to make preparations as soon as possible. ”

Qin Guogong didn't know the purpose of Shen Shikang and the others today, and he was also taken aback just now. Shen Shikang, an old fox, was he suspicious?

Otherwise, why not consult with him beforehand? Looking at Qian Licong and the others, they didn't seem surprised by this matter, could it be that Shen Shikang and the others had already seen the clues?

Qin Guogong stepped forward to help with a few words, and thought in his heart.

But he thought about his recent performance and found that he didn't show any horses. I remembered that my wife was a sword for the prince, and now she is still recuperating from her injuries in Guangning Palace, isn't this just a sign of loyalty?

Could it be that the eldest princess revealed her plans and plans? But then he shook his head again, no way!

If the eldest princess really didn't think about the relationship between husband and wife and informed the prince of his intentions, then he couldn't stay here safe and sound at the moment.

Shen Shikang glanced at Qin Guogong and snorted coldly in his heart! The eldest princess was seriously injured in order to save the crown prince. If the crown prince ascends the throne, the Duke of Qin, as a concubine, will definitely get a lot of benefits.

Qin Min, the son of Qin, is already an official position of the fourth grade, and he can be regarded as having a firm foothold in the capital family. But as a relative, Shen Shikang naturally couldn't look at the Qin family's strength.

Moreover, the princess's maiden family, the Lang family, should not be underestimated, and it is possible to suppress one at the moment. Otherwise, he, the Shen family, will have to sit on an equal footing with these relatives in the future, how can this be made?

"Your Highness! Although the kingdom cannot be left without a king for a day, the vassal kings have not yet arrived in the capital. Xia Guan thought that it was better to wait for the vassal king to come to the capital, and then hold the enthronement ceremony, and His Royal Highness would inherit the orthodoxy of the country and be justified. It is also good to let all the vassal kings worship together, and show my great prestige. ”

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu Yu Zheng rolled his eyes and held an enthronement ceremony, and the vassal king must be present to congratulate him.

Even if the emperor and his brothers fought to the death, when they ascended the throne, the emperor also left one or two vassal kings to decorate the façade.

"Humph! It is a helpless move for His Highness to inherit the throne at this moment, and if the border war is about to start, it is necessary to transfer troops. But His Royal Highness is holding a tiger talisman as the crown prince, which is inevitably a little unjustifiable. Even if it is the emperor, the spirit of heaven hopes that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can comply with the people's actions, think about the common people in the world, inherit the throne as soon as possible, and benefit the people. ”

Shen Shikang scoffed at Zheng's remarks, the prince is the master of the East Palace, why should he wait for those vassal kings to enter the capital?

Could it be that if they don't come, the crown prince won't be able to ascend the throne? What nonsense.

Even the founding emperor did not issue an ancestral precept saying that when the new emperor ascended the throne, all the vassal kings must be present.

As for the emperor who wanted to keep two brothers to pretend to be a façade, it was because the emperor killed too much and acted like this in order to block the world.

"The matter of ascending the throne will be decided in a few days. My father has just died, and the palace is filial piety every day, where do you still have such thoughts? ”

The prince glanced at Shen Shikang and the others with deep meaning, and several people immediately understood.

The national funeral is only one day, and it is too hasty to mention this matter at this time. If you wait a few days to mention it, then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be able to push the boat down the river.

Some officials watched coldly and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw the prince's refusal to do so. Although the crown prince will ascend the throne sooner or later, but one day is one day, who knows if there will be any variables in the next moment?

"Your Highness, I wonder if yesterday's assassin was caught? Is there any news from the rebellious minister and thief Zhou Yuancong? ”

Shen Shikang remembered that there was still a hidden threat, so he hurriedly asked.

The prince looked at the sky, then shook his head and sighed: "No, this palace has ordered Gu Chengyu, the young secretary of Dali Temple, to take people to search for it, but there is no news at this moment." As for Zhou Yuancong, it seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. ”

The crown prince has already sent people to surround the Zhou Mansion, and he hates that Zhou Yuan has been prepared for a long time.
