I Became the Cannon Fodder Who Died Early, and I Angrily Married the Villain

Chapter 128 Stormy Waves

After the fourth prince led the second prince and the King of Jin, and discussed with the ministers, the posthumous name of Emperor Daxing was determined. It was planned to be the emperor of Jingtianchang Yunjian who was upright, tolerant, honest, filial and sincere, and the temple name was Shizong.

Emperor Huai has a fair posthumous title, not a good or bad posthumous title, so it’s pretty good.

Sejong is also known as the Lord of Shou Cheng.

The ministers did not want to give Emperor Kangcheng (Kangcheng is the reign name) a temple title.

Because monarchs with temple names can enjoy sacrifices and offerings from later generations, but it does not mean that all monarchs have this qualification. It needs to be determined based on the life of the monarch. Only the monarchs who have made great contributions and are worthy of sacrifice by future generations will be chosen.

Because Emperor Kangcheng ordered so many ministers to be buried with him before his death, the ministers all had their own opinions.

Before the Dali Dynasty, a maximum of seven monarchs in a dynasty were eligible to have temple titles. Emperor Kangcheng was the eighth emperor of Dali, and he had already exhausted his temple names. The opposing ministers used this point as their argument.

Lu Desheng quit as soon as he heard this. How could this be done? Rules are dead, people are alive. The temple name is very important. The temple name has replaced the posthumous title and played a role in sealing the coffin of the Daxing Emperor. Not giving Emperor Kangcheng a temple title, wouldn't it be a denial of everything about him?

For the sake of a temple title, Lu Desheng quarreled with the Confucian scholars and recounted Emperor Kang Cheng's life in detail, saying that he had hard work even if he had no merit. He had been in power for twenty-eight years, but he did not let the country be divided, nor did he let the people rise up...

The fourth prince thought of the posthumous edict in Lu Desheng's hands, and finally made the decision to give the late emperor Shizong the temple name.

After this matter was settled, the fourth prince couldn't help but think too much about the imperial edict in Lu Desheng's hands. Did Huang Kao distrust him so much? He actually left a will to control him?

Before leaving the palace, Lu Desheng went to the main hall to offer a stick of incense to Emperor Kangcheng, and told him his posthumous title and temple name. He thought to himself: Your Majesty, everything I can do for you has been done. From now on, I guess I won’t be able to compete with you anymore.

Chang'an City, in a dilapidated courtyard in a remote alley somewhere.

"Mr. Chen, are you here again?" A young male voice sounded.

Manager Chen whispered, "This is a big job."

"Great, since the last time we had a war of words with the Zhao family, there has been no life. The brothers and ladies down here are a little too busy." After saying this, he changed the subject, "Yes. Okay, who is Mr. Lu going to do this time?”

Mr. Chen: "Let me tell you, this time we are going to fight against each other. You have to do this..."

The other party nodded while listening.

"The fight is quick, and we will never let the fight last. Do you understand?"

"clear."

After Manager Chen finished speaking, he handed over a bag of silver.

The other party found that in addition to the silver, there were some finger-sized gold ingots inside. He was a little surprised and asked, "Is this silver too much?" Even if it costs part of the money, plus their remuneration, it is still a lot. It's almost double their usual pay for their work.

"Take it, there will be no life for a long time. Let the people below share a share of this money. If possible, let them marry wives when they should, and have babies when they should. Don't mess around. Spent."

So, that night, a rumor came out vaguely in the house of an official in Chang'an City, saying that the fourth prince Song Mo, who was neither a direct descendant nor a eldest son, nor a virtuous man, could surpass the second prince, the third prince and the prince's son, and become the son of Emperor Sejong. His successor, Xie Zhan, played an indispensable role.

It was he who used a trick to kill the prince and gave the fourth prince a chance to succeed to the throne.

The reason why Emperor Daxing took away so many people before his death was because he was looking for the mastermind who offered a plan to kill the prince.

Of course Lu Songli made up this rumor, and of course she knew the truth was not the case. But what does it matter? She didn't care about the truth, she just put the hat on his head. This would be a critical time for Emperor Kang Cheng's funeral, and this kind of palace secret is the most eye-catching. The more explosive the words, the better. Xie Zhan is not innocent anyway.

As the saying goes, if you open your mouth to spread rumors, you will lose your legs if you refute them. What she wants is for Xie Zhan to remain silent. Those in the know are well aware of the water content, but they will also re-examine Xie Zhan's role in it.

Otherwise, it is useless to say that Xue Huaimin was the culprit who killed the prince, and then Xie Zhan just picked peaches and pushed Xue Huaimin out to vent his anger on Emperor Kang Cheng. It is useless to explain too much. Brain-burning! It's not as simple and crude as it is now.

The Zhao family narrowly escaped disaster. Zhao Wenkuan heard again that the Qin family had been confiscated and exiled. Now everyone is in prison! Call God for his eyes, call the late emperor for his sage!

Right! My daughter was right about everything! Although something went wrong in the middle and several people in the Xie family died, it didn't matter. The Xie family will still be a great family that has endured two dynasties. For a moment, Zhao Wenkuan felt like he had finally announced the result after placing a bet, and he finally won the bet.

Zhao Yutan is also in a good mood. The Qin family is in prison and the Qin family is going into exile! She could finally avenge her brother. Pingzhou, right? Lu Songli, you can't make it to Pingzhou.

Thinking of Qin Sheng, who had extremely high martial arts, Zhao Yutan decided to go back to Yuejia.

This time she also wanted Lu Songli to try what it felt like to be tricked in times of crisis.

Zhao Wenkuan was very moved by his daughter's request and wanted to do it himself.

However, regarding the matter of burying the minister with him, although the Zhao family had a near miss and escaped, Zhao Wenkuan was greatly frightened.

He learned from this experience that if the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them: the rafters that stand out will die first. Whenever he has been acting up lately, he has been taken away. The fact that he can survive this little life is due to his recent silence.

So he learned to think twice before he acted. Can he not do this? If he had to do it, could he do it later? If not, could he let someone else do it?

Got it! I heard that Wu Yuchun, the Minister of Finance who was in charge of the recent investigation of the Qin family, was very upset because the amount of property seized was a bit different from the total assets of the Qin family.

So, Zhao Wenkuan found an opportunity to invite Wu Chunyu to the flower building for a drink at night, and gave some advice in the middle.

Palace

"Fourth Prince, in the prison, the second lady of the Lu family, Lu Songli, sent a message saying that she wanted to talk to you."

"What can this prince talk about with her?" After saying that, Song Mo suddenly had an idea, "Send someone to ask Lu Desheng what he wants to say about his daughter's appointment with this prince."

Not long after, the person he sent came back and told him that Lu Desheng said that it was up to him to talk or not.

Hearing this, Song Mo knew what was going on. It was up to him to talk or not. Whether to take out the will or not was up to him.

"Your Highness knows about this." As long as Lu Desheng was willing to let go, the Fourth Prince decided to take time to meet Lu Songli.

It's not that he didn't send people to the Lu family to look for the will, but he sent three waves of people to search the Lu family, especially his study and bedroom, but still couldn't find it. To be frank, his people probably know where some things are placed better than Lu Desheng himself.

The next day, Xie Zhan heard from the Dali Temple Secretary that Wu Chunyu found him and wanted to ask him about the whereabouts of the Qin family's property in prison.

Xie Zhan pondered. The most troublesome thing for the Fourth Prince at present is to let the ministers holding the two wills take them out to correct their positions.

At present, one is known, and it is likely to be in Lu Desheng's hands.

As for the other will, the Fourth Prince has sent people to check. Before the death of Emperor Shizong, the ministers who met alone may have held the will, and they are currently being investigated.

What Xie Zhan didn't know was that their people were still investigating, but Lu Songli vaguely guessed who had the other will.

Xie Zhan was trying to figure out how to get Lu Desheng to take out the will in his hand.

It was difficult to force him. He said directly that he didn't have the will, and don't forget that the Lu family still had a gold medal of immunity from death.

It was impossible to reason with him. He was the censor, a famous troll in the court. No one could surpass him in reasoning with people.

The fourth prince had hinted at bribery, but the other party was still unmoved.

This was very troublesome. After thinking carefully, Xie Zhan felt that he had to use coercion. Start with the Qin family, or start with Lu Songli.

Now Wu Yuchun went to interrogate the Qin family. Although it was not so rule-abiding, it was still a way. Let's try it.

"Let Meng Xinliang cooperate with the other party."

Xie Zhan was still calculating how to help the fourth prince ascend the throne legitimately and without dispute, but he was unaware that a huge crisis had already arrived.

Someone had secretly stirred up a storm, waiting for the right time to swallow him up. Not to mention destroying the Xie family, but it could wipe out the efforts of several generations of them with one click.
