Joy of Life: Rebirth of the Second Prince, Inviting Emperor Qing to Die

Chapter 362 The last step

Time flows like water, passing in the blink of an eye.

Three days have passed since Emperor Qing was killed.

During these three days, some people were happy and some were sad.

However, after these few days, the thoughts of all the civil and military officials in the court had undergone some changes while staying in the palace.

From the next day on, no official cared about the death of Emperor Qing and the capture of the assassin.

The thing they are discussing the most now is what kind of impact the new emperor's ascension to the throne will have on the entire Qing Kingdom.

After all, if a wise ruler ascends the throne, the entire Qing Kingdom will undergo earth-shaking changes.

Otherwise, it would be a disaster.

However, things have come to this point and there is no choice at all.

Just after dawn, in the Zhenghua Palace, many civil and military officials started another discussion.

The first person to speak was still the Minister of Rites, who was a member of the Lin Party and one of the prince's fanatical followers.

He said to the crowd: "Three days have passed and the assassin has not made any move. My ministers, it is time to admit defeat."

"If there are no objections, let's make a joint report now so that His Royal Highness can ascend the throne as soon as possible and resolve the current issue quickly."

As soon as he finished speaking, another civil servant echoed him, "Yes, I think so too."

"The country cannot be without a ruler for a day. We must hurry up and let the new ruler take the throne and take control of the court again."

"The matter of the assassin can be dealt with later."

At this time, another general, wearing silver armor, shouted loudly:

"In my opinion, no matter who becomes the emperor, our enemy is always Northern Qi."

"This time, those guys from Northern Qi sent assassins to kill our emperor. This is a great shame and humiliation."

"I am willing to lead a hundred thousand troops and directly attack Northern Qi to avenge your majesty!"

As soon as the military general finished speaking, the other civil servants around him showed contempt towards him.

Some even cursed, "Get lost, you crude warrior!"

"Fight, fight, fight. All they think about is fighting. They don't have any sense of the overall situation."

"That sounds nice. Just lead 100,000 troops to attack Northern Qi!"

"Even if you were given so many soldiers, could you win?"

"That's right!" said another civil servant. "What do we rely on to fight a war?"

"It's not the brave soldiers, nor the generals who command well, but the logistics and supplies!"

"We have nothing prepared yet, how can we go out to fight?"

Someone else waved his hand and said, "Go away, go away, what do you know as a warrior? Go wherever it's cool."

After being scolded, the general did not dare to say anything in rebuttal and had to leave in disgrace.

And these civil officials are still discussing.

Although no one voted against it, it was still impossible to achieve unity.

Because some officials felt that now was the time to act and that the new king should be allowed to ascend the throne as soon as possible to avoid any further complications.

However, some people say that it is not even the seventh day after His Majesty's death, so it may be too early to let the new emperor ascend the throne.

Some people even think that this matter is of great importance and it is better to take a long-term view.

In this way, a large group of officials began the discussion again.

At the same time, in the corner of the hall, Chen Pingping, Fan Jian, and several officials who were on good terms with them were sitting.

During these three days, the two of them searched almost every corner of the palace, but still could not find the whereabouts of the assassin.

In desperation, I had to come here to see what the officials would do.

As a result, these civil officials who held pens accomplished nothing except bickering.

In the past few days, they have discussed this issue for more than a dozen times, but still have not come up with a unified answer. At this time, a civil servant said to Fan Jian and Chen Pingping: "Okay, here we go again!"

"These old guys just quarrel every day, but there is no result. What's the point?"

Another civil servant laughed and said, "They usually just take notes with a pen, and they don't know how to do anything else. What else can they do except quarrel?"

Then he asked Fan Jian: "Master Fan, what should we do next?"

Fan Jian was sitting on a stool, drinking tea slowly, and asked, "How to do it?"

"Things have come to this point. What else can we do? We can only follow the crowd."

Chen Pingping, who was standing by, also nodded and said, "Forget it. Now that things have come to this, let's just hold off for now."

"As for what happens next, let's wait and see."

During these two days, he and Fan Jian searched the palace several times but failed to find the assassin.

It was obvious that the assassin must have already left the palace.

How they escaped has not yet been discovered.

However, what is certain is that Wu Zhu and Fan Xian also left the palace.

As for who is the emperor now, it is not the most important thing; the truth is.

Moreover, things have come to this point and it is definitely not something that can be decided by just a few of them.

Even if they express objections, what can they do?
Now all the civil and military officials in the court support Li Chengze to be the emperor. Even if the two of them refuse, they still cannot change it.

At that time, it will bring unnecessary trouble to yourself.

Fan Jian put down the teacup in his hand, spoke slowly, and said: "Things have come to this point, let's wait and see what happens."

Afterwards, they stopped talking and all fell into deep thought.

……

the other side.

In the bedroom of Guangxin Palace, Lin Ruofu stood up from the bed and began to put on his robe slowly.

On the bed, Li Yunrui was lying sideways, covered with a layer of gauze.

Li Yunrui turned over, rested his head on his elbows, and said with a smile: "It's still early now, let's rest for a while."

Still resting?
He hasn't left his room for two days and two nights, and his body can't take it anymore.

Lin Ruofu shook his head and said, "Today is the last day. Now all the civil and military officials in the court are waiting for the answer."

"If nothing unexpected happens, we can resolve the matter today."

When Li Yunrui heard that it was serious business, he didn't say anything more.

After Lin Ruofu put on his robe, he said to Li Yunrui, "Wait for me to come back."

"If nothing unexpected happens, I'll be back soon."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Li Yunrui looked at Lin Ruofu's departing back and fell into deep thought.

at the same time.

Li Chengze was wearing a golden dragon robe and standing in front of the door of a hall, looking at the scenery in front of him with a smile on his face.

Then, several people walked quickly to him and immediately spoke respectfully.

"Second brother."

Li Chengze looked at the people who came, and they were Li Chengru, Li Chengping, and Li Hongcheng.

"You are here."

Li Hongcheng said: "Second brother, everything you asked us to do has been completed. What should we do next?"

Li Chengze smiled and said, "Of course we have to go. This is the last step."
