How should the matter of establishing a new ruler be resolved when the Chu Emperor is no longer with us? Feng Qingyun couldn't help but mutter to himself, but since Zhao Gonggong was sent to deliver the message in the palace, it means that the person in charge of the palace now must be his newly enshrined master, Empress Chen.
Someone, Zhao Gong has worked hard. Can you serve him tea
A eunuch in charge received such treatment at the General's Mansion, which shows that Feng Qingyun did not underestimate him. Mr. Zhao was also greatly benefited by receiving such treatment.
Although he tried to pass the buck, he still sat down in a timely manner. General, don't try to defeat the old slave. Just say what you have to say directly. "They are all seasoned people, and this time such a big incident will inevitably cause trouble. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the necessary situation, and the most informed ones belong to those from the palace. General Zhao is directly under the management of the emperor, so he must be the most clear about the whole matter.
Feng Qingyun quietly stuffed a considerable amount of silver into General Zhao's hand. Then General Zhao reluctantly accepted it with joy. Taking money from others naturally means doing things for them. Feng Qingyun then inquired in detail about the situation when the Chu Emperor passed away, and who were the people who had the last contact with the Chu Emperor.
When he heard from General Zhao that the emperor had fallen off the bed and died, an incredulous expression appeared on his face. Although he knew that the emperor's health was not good recently and he had visited him several times after returning, he was in his prime and had martial arts skills. No matter what, he wouldn't have died in such a wrong way.
Feng Qingyun raised a question, and General Zhao replied, "Whether the general believes it or not, this is a fact. The imperial physician has also come to investigate and said that the emperor was indeed caused by his own accidental fall. Recently, the emperor has been sleeping very restlessly, and he already has some mild hysteria, so it is only natural for him to have such an accident suddenly. So General Feng, don't worry too much, let's mourn by the way
Mr. Zhao took a sip of tea, and his expression became much richer. Where are these eunuchs holding their mouths? Although it is a job of serving others, the treatment is not worse than that of ordinary people. There are often a few people who seek their help and gather information. Therefore, what they eat must also be the best. Therefore, their taste is not very bad, they only took a sip and tasted the flavor.
General Feng's tea is different from other teas
Feng Qingyun understood and smiled, "Thank you for your praise, sir. When it comes to tea ceremony, I haven't even touched it. These teas were brought back from the Nan tribe and collected by local residents from the wild mountains. Although they are not precious, their taste remains the most primitive. So I have replaced all the teas in my mansion with this kind of tea
After listening to Feng Qingyun's explanation, Director Zhao's face showed the same expression as before. He quickly stood up and said, 'It's getting late, I have to go to another place.' He then stood up.
As soon as he turned around, he saw the Phoenix Rhinoceros in the crowd. At this moment, almost everyone in the Phoenix family had arrived. The birds and swallows were lively, but only the Rhinoceros stood tall and unique in the crowd, giving people a dazzling feeling.
Zhao Gonggong's eyes couldn't help but show surprise when he unexpectedly saw Fenglingxi. Hey, isn't this General Ling? A while ago, I heard someone say that General Ling had an accident. I was worried for a while? I'm so happy to see you back now
Lingxi didn't have much fondness for General Zhao, who spoke in a sarcastic manner with his nose pointing upwards. This person has a cold temperament and cruel methods, otherwise he wouldn't have climbed to the position of eunuch manager at such a young age.
However, since he was named, he must be someone from the palace, and she couldn't afford to offend him, so she stood up. Dragging the blessings of Duke Zhao, Ling'er is also blessed with great fortune, and only then did she save a small life
Zhao Gonggong quickly smiled and said, "General Ling is blessed with great fortune and will surely be a blessed person in the future." Lingxi could only smile at him and quietly retreated.
At this moment, Duke Zhao glanced at Lingxi's back and said to Feng Qingyun, "General, prepare now. Let's go into the palace with General Ling and General Yang
Feng Qingyun couldn't help but be surprised. He had previously said that only father and son would go, but in the blink of an eye, he changed his mind and let all three of them go to the palace. And he's just a eunuch in charge, which is a bit too broad!
It seemed that Feng Qingyun was puzzled, and he couldn't help but add, "Originally, Empress Dowager only summoned General Feng and General Yang to go. Since General Ling has also returned, you can go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony together! Save me from running again. Empress Dowager has issued an edict that officials above the fifth rank must go. Today, she is summoning everyone to invite all the ministers to come and discuss the matter of the new ruler's accession
Is the new ruler ascending to the throne? "Feng Qingyun couldn't help but ask in reverse, but she thought to herself," Isn't this speed a bit too fast.
The country cannot be without a ruler for a day. Most of the other adults have arrived, and the general has made preparations earlier. Shall we enter the palace immediately
When the emperor passed away, what oral edict did he leave about the new ruler? If the Chu emperor left an oral edict, then the matter would be much simpler. If not, then the matter would be more difficult. There are many opinions about whether it is the third or fifth generation, and who inherits the throne.
As a servant, I don't know about this. General Feng wants to know the truth so much that he will naturally find out when he gets there. "Zhao Gonggong was about to leave, but he was stopped by Feng Qingyun.
That grandpa thinks that one is more likely, so I should prepare in advance, right? "Feng Qingyun smiled slyly and glanced at Grandpa Zhao.
Zhao Gonggong's face couldn't help but show a hint of impatience. Seeing Feng Qingyun asking incessantly, he gave him a displeased look and said, "When the Emperor was alive, he liked the Fifth Prince and said he looked very similar to himself when he was young. This time, the Emperor suddenly left, and everything fell on the Empress Dowager alone. It's time to choose a wise ruler earlier to share the Empress Dowager's worries. I believe the General is a sensible person and will also stand by her side, right
The meaning behind Zhao Gong's words is self-evident. Feng Qingyun suddenly understood in his heart and replied, "I understand what my father-in-law means. Feng has his own limits
Zhao Gonggong knew that his words were effective and felt very proud. "As the saying goes, those who know the times are heroes. This time, Empress Ling's mistake and dereliction of duty in taking care of the emperor have a great impact. If anyone doesn't take the wrong side, it may affect their own future." After Zhao Gonggong finished speaking, he gave Feng Qingyun a meaningful glance.
Everything in the palace is now in the hands of the empress dowager, and these five princes are the legitimate heirs of Empress Chen. Judging from the situation, they seem to be destined for this position.
