    When it is still midnight in the west, it is already dawn in the east after Kunlun.

    Li Yuanyuan started cleaning up early in the morning. Today is the funeral of the late emperor of the Liang Dynasty - he died last night!

    There is an old man beside Tang Chenying, ¡®Tang Hui¡¯ from Fengming Villa.  Tang Hui is Tang Chenying's clan uncle, but due to his poor qualifications, he is not yet at the golden elixir stage and can only serve as a shopkeeper, handling secular affairs.

    This time, because of the sudden death of the late emperor, no one had time to prepare.  Here at Fengming Villa, we only have time to inform Tang Hui in the imperial capital and let Tang Hui be responsible for the information of Fengming Villa.

    At the moment, the staff of Fengming Villa have not arrived yet, only Tang Chenying is here.  So Tang Hui notified Tang Chenying to come forward today.  By the way, I also want to talk to Tang Chenying about the current situation, and let Li Yuanyuan, who is still a little confused next to me, know about our great Liang Dynasty!

    The countries in the Kunlun Continent, especially those in the central and eastern parts of the country, are not called ¡®such-and-such country¡¯, but ¡®such-and-such dynasty¡¯.  For example, the Liang Dynasty in the East was 20,000 miles wide, and this was still a reduced area.  And the history of the Liang Dynasty is as long as ten thousand years!

    Such a huge country with such a long history is already a symbol of an era.  Simply naming it "country" can no longer carry the glory of this country.  Therefore, the big countries in Kunlun Continent are named after "such and such dynasty".

    However, big countries also have their own troubles. For example, the northern part of the Liang Dynasty was invaded by the new powerful country "Hu Fang" that emerged in the past few hundred years. It has occupied a lot of territory, especially the important checkpoints in the north: the three counties of Youzhou.

    ?? Hufang is a tribe that emerged from the black mountains and white waters and is good at controlling beasts. It has a long history of existence, but it has never had much contact with the outside world.  But society always needs to develop, and Hu Fang finally slowly stepped out and grew up rapidly amidst the oppression around him.

    Now, Hufang has established a country, and the land is thousands of miles wide!  The name of the country is ¡®Hufang¡¯.

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

    So in the past hundred years, the tigers have continued to send troops southward, looting, burning and killing. The people of Youzhou in the north have suffered terribly, and the northern land has been in a mess.

    In this way, recovering the north became the top priority of the Liang Dynasty.  However, the Liang Dynasty, which had been a country for ten thousand years, had actually become somewhat content with pleasure, its armaments were lax, and the domestic nobles were intertwined, constrained each other, and corrupt.

    A hundred years ago, a generation of emperors went on a personal expedition and died in battle. The new emperor ascended the throne at a young age. However, last month, the emperor personally went on an expedition and was assassinated again. He was in danger.  It wasn't until last night that I finally couldn't hold it any longer.

    And this time, the reason why the imperial court suddenly paid attention to the "non-mainstream" such as Shanzhuang and other places in the past is actually because the power of the "mainstream" cannot be used to its full potential.

    At the end of the sentence, Tang Hui couldn't help but sigh in a low voice: "The past two emperors were all promising kings; but at home well, it's okay not to say anything. In short, when you arrive at the palace today, don't say anything. I will take care of everything."

    By the time the three of them arrived at the palace, the palace was already overcrowded.  The late emperor's concubines, maids, chamberlains, etc. all cried together.  Some ministers also cried symbolically.

    But classmate Li Yuanyuan¡¯s eyes were rolling. The palace of the Liang Dynasty was basically a ¡°city¡±, magnificent and majestic, with colorful lights flowing in the sky and faint aura on the ground.  The palaces in the west of the Fertile Continent are probably only used as side halls in the palace if they are placed here.

    Li Yuanyuan turned her eyes and suddenly found a "familiar figure" among the courtiers.  "Master, God Shang! Is the old man in front of him the great scholar Zhu Kang?"

    Tang Chenying glared at Li Yuanyuan and said nothing: Little girl, you are so cool today!

    The sky is getting brighter, but the atmosphere in the palace is getting more solemn.  The queen lowered the curtain and all the officials stood at attention.  The emperor died suddenly, but it left too many questions.

    For example, there is no eldest son!

    This is a big deal!  Because the late emperor did not establish a prince until his death!  I left in a hurry last night and didn't even leave any edicts.

    The queen has nothing to do but choose from among the princes.  Today is not only the funeral of the late emperor, but more importantly, the establishment of a new emperor.

    A country cannot live without a king for a day. The late emperor cannot mourn until the new emperor ascends the throne.  In this way, the stability of the country can be guaranteed to the greatest extent.  Especially since the north is still thereDuring the war.

    As the chamberlain shouted that the court meeting was about to begin, several sobs from the queen came from behind the curtain, and then the queen said in a hoarse voice: "A country with good principles cannot live without a king for a day. Do you think that among the current princes, who can be the king and inherit the throne?"  ?¡±

    No one spoke.

    The issue of the throne is never a simple matter.  If you speak randomly, you might get yourself in trouble.

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

    Zhu Kang's beard trembled, but when his name was called, he could only stand up helplessly: "Queen Qi, I believe that according to the principle of ordering seniority, the eldest prince should be established."

    When the queen heard this, she laughed, but she immediately stopped talking and said coldly: "The eldest prince practiced walking in the early years and became a demon. He is still bedridden! How can I be a king!"

    Zhu Kang could only continue: "Then the eldest prince and his mother's brother, the fourth prince, should be made kings. The fourth prince should be virtuous, well"

    Before he finished speaking, Zhu Kang said to himself, "Oh no, I said the wrong thing!"

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

    But no, the queen is the "mother of the world". All the emperor's children must call the queen "mother" when they see the queen.  Regardless of whether they are biological or not, they are all the Queen's children in name!

    Zhu Kang quickly apologized, but the fourth prince had no chance.  I can only recommend the next one, in order of elder and younger. The one I recommend is the third prince - the second prince died young.

    But the third princeis not in the capital.  The third prince likes to practice and has been traveling for a long time.  Then of course the fifth prince also wandered away.

    The queen was a little angry, this old fox was obviously perfunctory.  Otherwise, there would be no one like you, counting from the eldest prince to the fifth prince one by one.  So the Queen said a little strangely: "Then belowshould be the Sixth Prince and King Jian, right?"

    At this time, Zhu Kang thought something was wrong, something was wrong!  The greatest hobbies of these six princes are eating, drinking, having fun, and traveling around. Youxi and the hermits sit and talk - but they are all chatting and have nothing to do with the country anyway.

    Zhu Kang stopped talking.

    The Queen became even more angry: "Prime Minister, the Ai family is asking you a question!"

    Zhu Kang gritted his teeth and suddenly shouted: "Queen, no! King Jian is frivolous and cannot be the king!"

    "What a shame!" the queen finally got angry.

    Next to him, Zeng Shiming, the political advisor, rolled his eyes and spoke angrily: "The Prime Minister's remarks are shocking, I don't know what his intentions are!"

    Zhu Kang¡¯s face turned pale instantly.  Even if this big hat is removed, he can't bear it.

    The queen finally spoke coldly: "The late emperor once said that King Jian is blessed with longevity and good fortune, and he is benevolent and filial, unlike other kings! We should establish King Jian."

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

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

    Soon everyone agreed, but only Zhu Kang and a few people around Zhu Kang stood alone in the court, feeling 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, or should he be called the Great Emperor, looked at Zhu Kang with a very unkind look.  However, at the funeral, the emperor performed admirably. He personally supported the coffin and sent it out of the imperial capital, crying until he had runny noses and tears, and displayed his "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.  As an emperor and a minister, the best way to establish authority is to get rid of the prime minister of the previous dynasty.

    "But, Zhu Kang is a great scholar! He is not easy to 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 started busy: "Go and invite Zhu Kang's young disciple Gautama. Be polite."

    After a while, his subordinates returned, not bringing Gautama but a memorial of impeachment.  Zeng Shiming opened it and smiled. It actually listed Zhu Kang's twenty major crimes, each of which was justified.

    The first rule is to form a party!  The second is to control speech between North Korea and China.  The third rule is promoting cronies and nepotism

    After reading these twenty major sins, Zeng Shiming couldn¡¯t help but mock: ¡°What a villain!¡±

    After saying that, he immediately entered the palace again and paid homage to the emperor.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
