But when Li Xian was in Qingyun Valley, checking the technology, the imperial capital of Daxia, Wuyang City, was in mourning. However, the last emperor of Daxia... made people speechless!
His Majesty passed away, but not a single governor or prefect came to the funeral! Not only did Li Xian not come, but even the other governors, governors, and local officials did not come.
Instead, it was the "confidants" of the main local officials who came.
Not only that, many high-ranking officials from other places who were still wandering around the imperial capital disappeared overnight; when they reappeared, they had already returned to their own territories, leaving only the so-called "confidants" here to attend the funeral.
During the entire funeral, the only high-ranking officials who presided over the funeral were Li Yulong, Kong Xiang, and Fu Minghui, and some officials from the imperial capital participated - these people could not leave. Secondly, there were no other people. Even the people of the imperial capital did not care much, and these people had long since forgotten the concept of the Great Xia Kingdom. This is the fairyland, and everyone is more concerned about their own cultivation.
The whole funeral was really shabby! There was no 10-mile farewell, no people crying, and even a few ignorant children happily circled around the procession. Li Yulong's eyelids twitched when he saw this, and he really wanted to beat up these naughty children.
In the end, Fu Minghui led more than a thousand elite soldiers to escort the coffin to the imperial mausoleum 500 miles away.
The emperor was gone, but it seemed that his Majesty the Great Xia Emperor had passed away too suddenly, leaving no will. Although there was a crown prince, there was no statement that "the crown prince ascended the throne", and the crown prince was even thousands of miles away.
Officials headed by Li Yulong, Kong Xiang and others formed a provisional government. During the time it took them to discuss a meal, they reached a decision - to bring back the crown prince, the second prince, to succeed the throne.
This is a very normal and proper thing to do; the only question is - can the current Great Xia Kingdom still be called a country
Perhaps the reason why the late emperor did not leave a will was because there was no need. Today's Great Xia Kingdom is in pieces and no longer needs an emperor!
As the emperor passed away, the various ambitious people began to stare with wide eyes. But most of them were calm and did not jump up immediately, waiting for others to take the lead. However, everyone could feel that an indescribable pressure began to spread in the Great Xia Kingdom.
For this indescribable pressure, the alchemists have a word to describe it - evil spirit.
There are many reasons for this atmosphere, including social unrest, ambitious people taking action, and national mourning. A country is also alive, and this evil spirit is more like the breath of death of a country.
But no matter what, many ambitious people did not act immediately, but waited and watched; they were secretly preparing for war, ready to launch a competition for supremacy at any time to see who would have the last laugh.
The representatives who were going to Luliang County to invite the crown prince to return and succeed to the throne set out; but just as the team left, the Wang family jumped out, and they were going to put the third prince, who was only eleven years old this year, on the throne!
Wang Chuan said in a sonorous and powerful tone: "The Third Prince is the most wise and has the most imperial bearing. In this time of crisis, we should support the Third Prince to ascend the throne."
"The third prince is not the crown prince!" Li Yulong and Kong Xiang refuted the Wang family's suggestion.
