When the west is still in the middle of the night, the east after Kunlun is already dawn.

Li Yuanyuan started tidying up early in the morning. Today is the funeral of the late emperor of the 'Liang Dynasty'—he passed away last night!

Next to Tang Chenying was an old man, 'Tang Hui' from Fengming Villa. Tang Hui is Tang Chenying's clan uncle, but because of his poor aptitude, he is only at the Jindan stage so far, so he can only be the shopkeeper and handle mundane affairs.

This time, because of the sudden death of the first emperor, no one had time to prepare. Here at Fengming Villa, there was only time to notify Tang Hui who was in the imperial capital, and let Tang Hui be responsible for the information of Fengming Villa.

Right now, the personnel from Fengming Villa have not arrived yet, only Tang Chenying is here. So Tang Hui informed Tang Chenying to come forward today. By the way, I will also talk to Tang Chenying about the current situation, and let Li Yuanyuan, who is still a little dazed next to me, understand our great Liang Dynasty!

The countries in the Kunlun Continent, especially those in the central and eastern regions, are not called 'so-and-so country', but 'so-and-so dynasty'. For example, the "Liang Dynasty" in the east is 20,000 miles wide, which is still the reduced area. And the history of the Liang Dynasty is as high as ten thousand years!

Such a huge country with such a long history is already a symbol of an era. Just naming it with 'country' is no longer able to bear the glory of this country. Therefore, the big country in the Kunlun Continent is named after "so-and-so dynasty".

However, big countries also have big country troubles. For example, Liang Chaobei has been invaded by the new powerful country "Hufang" that has risen in the past few hundred years, especially the important checkpoints in the north: the three counties of Youzhou.

Hufang is a tribe that rose from the black mountains and white waters and is good at controlling beasts; it has a long history, but it has not had much contact with the outside world. But the society always needs to develop, and Hufang finally walked out slowly, growing rapidly amidst the oppression around him.

Today, Hufang has established a country with a vast territory of thousands of miles! The name of the country is 'Tiger Fang'.

Hu Fang is good at controlling beasts, and his beast-controlling army can be said to be invincible. There was a battle between Hufang and Liang Dynasty a hundred years ago, and they captured the three most important counties in the north of Liang Dynasty and Youzhou in one fell swoop: Yanmen County, Shanggu County, and Yuyang County. Without these three counties, the Liang Dynasty had no danger to defend the north.

As a result, in the past hundred years, the Tigers have continued to send troops southward, looting, burning and killing. The people of Youzhou in the north are miserable, and the north is in a mess.

In this way, regaining the north became the top priority of the Liang Dynasty. However, the Liang Dynasty, which has been established for thousands of years, has actually been somewhat content with pleasure, with slack armaments, domestic nobles and others are intertwined, restraining each other, and corruption is rampant.

A hundred years ago, a generation of emperors fought in person and died in battle; the new emperor ascended the throne at a young age, but last month, the emperor was assassinated again and was in danger. Until last night I finally couldn't hold it anymore.

And this time, the reason why the imperial court suddenly paid attention to the "non-mainstream" in the past, such as the villa, was really because the power of the "mainstream" could not be used.

When it came to the end, Tang Hui couldn't help but sigh with emotion in a low voice: "The two emperors in the past were all promising kings; but in China... hey, don't say anything. In short, after you arrive at the palace today, don't say anything, everything is mine."

When the three arrived at the palace, the palace was already overcrowded. The late emperor's concubines, maidservants, servants, etc. all cried together. Some ministers also cried twice symbolically.

But classmate Li Yuanyuan's eyes are rolling. The palace of the Liang Dynasty is basically a "city", with a magnificent atmosphere, colorful lights in the sky, and faint aura on the ground. The imperial palaces in the west of the Fertile Land Continent are probably only regarded as a side hall in the imperial palace.

Li Yuanyuan rolled her eyes, and suddenly found a 'familiar figure' among the courtiers. "Master, Gao Dashang! Is that old man in front of him the great Confucian Zhu Kang?"

Tang Chenying glared at Li Yuanyuan and said nothing: Little girl, don't be shy today!

The sky was getting brighter, but the atmosphere in the palace became more solemn. The queen hangs down the curtain, and all the officials stand in silence. The emperor passed away suddenly, but left too many problems.

For example, there is no eldest son!

This is a big deal! Because, the first emperor did not establish a prince until his death! I left in a hurry last night, and there was no will left behind.

The queen has nothing to do, so she can only choose from among the princes. Today, it is not only the funeral of the first emperor, but more importantly, the establishment of the new emperor.

A country cannot be without a king for a day. Only after the new emperor ascends the throne can the previous emperor be mourned. In this way, the stability of the country can be guaranteed to the greatest extent. Especially when the North is still at war.

As the servants shouted that the court meeting began, the queen sobbed a few times behind the curtain, and then the queen said in a hoarse voice: "There is a way that a country cannot live without a king. What do you think, who is the current prince who can be the king and inherit the great rule?" ?”

No one spoke.

The issue of the throne has never been a simple matter. If you speak indiscriminately, you might lose yourself.

After waiting for a long time, the queen's tone became a little dissatisfied, "Prime Minister Zhu Kang, what do you think?"

Zhu Kang's beard trembled, but he was named, so he had no choice but to stand up: "I want to report to the queen, the old minister believes that according to the principle of ordering the elders and younger ones, the eldest prince should be established."

When the queen heard this, she let out a laugh, but immediately stopped her voice, and said coldly: "The eldest prince practiced walking and became obsessed with evil spirits in his early years, and he is still bedridden! How can you be a king!"

Zhu Kang could only continue talking: "Then the eldest prince, mother and younger brother, and the fourth prince should be established as kings, and the fourth prince is worthy, uh..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Kang secretly thought that it was bad, he said the wrong thing!

Sure enough, when the queen heard this, she was furious: "Aren't the eldest prince and the fourth prince the sons of the Ai family! Prime Minister, what do you mean!"

But no, the empress is the "mother's tribute to the world", and all the children of the emperor will call "mother queen" when they see the empress. Regardless of whether they are biological or not, they are all the queen's children in name!

Zhu Kang hurriedly apologized, but the fourth prince had no chance. I can only recommend the next one, and it is still in order of seniority, and the one I recommend is the third prince—the second prince died early.

But the third prince...is not in Beijing. The third prince loves to practice, so he has gone wandering long ago. Then naturally the fifth prince also wandered away.

The queen was a little angry, and the old fox was obviously perfunctory. Otherwise, there is no one like you, counting from the eldest prince to the fifth prince one by one. So the queen said a little strangely: "Then...then...then it should be the sixth prince, King Jian?"

At this moment, Zhu Kang thumped, secretly thinking that something is wrong! The biggest hobbies of these six princes are eating, drinking and having fun, traveling in mountains and rivers, Youxi sits and talks with hermits—but they are all chatting, anyway, it has nothing to do with the country and so on.

Zhu Kang stopped talking.

The queen was even angrier: "Prime Minister, the Ai family asked you something!"

Zhu Kang gritted his teeth, and suddenly shouted: "No queen, King Jian is frivolous, you can't be king!"

"Presumptuous!" The queen finally got angry.

Next to him, Zeng Shiming, the political adviser, rolled his eyes and said angrily: "The remarks made by the prime minister are shocking. I don't know what the intention is!"

Zhu Kang's complexion turned pale instantly. He couldn't bear this big hat.

The queen finally spoke coldly: "The first emperor once said that the king of Jian has a good life, and he is benevolent and filial, which is different from other kings! You should establish the king of Jian."

Zeng Shiming immediately shouted: "The queen is wise!"

The people behind Zeng Shiming immediately shouted: "The queen is wise."

Soon everyone agreed, only Zhu Kang and a few people around Zhu Kang stood alone in the court hall, extremely lonely.

About half an hour later, the Sixth Prince, King Jian, and Chen Minghan ascended the throne in front of the late emperor's coffin, and the reign name was changed to 'Jingwu'.

After ascending the throne, the sixth prince, well, he should be called the Great Emperor, and the Great Emperor looked at Zhu Kang very unkindly. However, at the funeral, the emperor's performance was remarkable. He personally carried the coffin out of the imperial capital, and cried until his nose was full of tears, which brought "benevolence and filial piety" to the extreme.

But in the afternoon, the emperor summoned Zeng Shiming alone, and it was naturally Zhu Kang who asked. Once the emperor and the courtiers, the best way to gain prestige is to get rid of the former prime minister.

"However, Zhu Kang is a great Confucian! Don't move!" The emperor also had his own worries.

Zeng Shiming smiled: "Your Majesty, leave it to me."

After leaving the palace, Zeng Shiming returned to the mansion, and immediately set to work: "Go and invite Zhu Kang's young disciple Gao Gao. Be polite."

After a while, his subordinates returned, but they did not bring Gao Shang, but brought a memorial of impeachment. Zeng Shiming opened it, looked it up, and laughed, and it actually listed Zhu Kang's 20 major crimes, each of which was well-founded.

The first is to form a party! The second is to control the speech of the DPRK and China. The third is to promote cronies and cronyism...

After reading these twenty major crimes, Zeng Shiming couldn't help but mock: "What a villain!"

After all, immediately re-enter the palace and pay homage to the emperor.
