Naturally, no one heard what the old emperor, the wooden doctor and the doctor boy said, even if they all listened with pointed ears.
Because Lin He and Lin Ju are making small moves outside from time to time, those who guard outside the old emperor's palace are often distracted, and Lin Fufu and the old emperor deliberately suppressed their voices when talking to the old emperor. Heard what was said inside.
Seeing those people bowing their heads like quails one by one, Huangfu Ling cursed angrily: "What use are you trash? Take them all out and chop them up!"
Fortunately, a doorman who was with him hurriedly said good things to stop him. After all, the old emperor was dead, and it was not appropriate to kill him.
"Now that the emperor's father is about to be buried, there is not even a single word left behind. What do you think, big emperor brother?" Huangfu Ting's eyes flashed, and he looked at Huangfu Ling.
Although Huangfu Ling also had ambitions, he still followed the rules, and his personality was irritable and straightforward. He frowned when he heard this, "You ask this king, who is this king going to ask?"
Huangfuling snorted coldly in her heart, and scolded Huangfuling for being an idiot.
But the stupider Huangfuling was, the happier he was.
"Then... Let's ask the Ministry of Rites to organize the funeral of the emperor first, right?" Huangfu Ting's eyes flashed with a calculating light, and then disappeared.
Huangfu Ling objected, "That's not acceptable! There is no list of candidates for the new emperor yet. How can the father be buried in the earth? Let's put him in the ice coffin for a few days before we talk about it. Hurry up and call a group of ministers to go to court, and put the new emperor first. The emperor set it down!"
He thinks he is the leader, and many of the officials of Beirong are from his foreign faction, and he has the greatest chance of becoming a great treasure.
But Huangfu Ting would not do what he wanted at all, and the other adult princes believed that they would not do what he wanted either, so they started arguing in front of the old emperor's corpse in the old emperor's bedroom.
But Huangfuling's family is indeed the most powerful among the several adult princes, apart from Huangfujin, Prince Jin, he also has the most powerful army in charge, so they can only take advantage of it.
But even though Huangfu Ling was strong, he also knew that two fists were no match for four hands, not to mention there were more than a dozen brothers and uncles who were eyeing him and waiting to beat him up.
"Brother Big Emperor, I'm afraid you have forgotten the fifth brother? Now he has come all the way to the imperial city aggressively under the banner of King Qin. In his eyes, we brothers have become rebellious officials and thieves." Now. What do you think we should do?" At this time, the fourth prince suddenly sneered.
Only then did everyone stop, and their eyes became serious.
"There is also the power that is only loyal to the father. Now that the father has died suddenly, I don't know how they will react when they find out..." At this time, the sixth prince said again.
Everyone looked more serious, but then they started to shout again.
There was an old emperor's side branch brother, King Hanjun couldn't hold back anymore, and while they were arguing, he ordered his army to attack the city.
There was a scuffle in the Beirong imperial city at night, and those people who were close to the palace were woken up in the middle of the night by the screams of beating and killing, and all of them were silent like cicadas, hoping that the savior from heaven would put the chaos to rest.
It's a pity that the gun hit the head. Although the Hanjun King was brave, he was also very straightforward, but he was suppressed and beaten by others as soon as he showed his head. In half an hour, his soldiers were defeated. The Hanjun King himself He was also shot and killed by the rioters.
This time, no one dared to act rashly anymore, and just stalemate like that.
But at this time, Lin Fufu's master and servant had already arrived at Princess Liwu's princess mansion.
Princess Liwu already has a son-in-law, her son-in-law's background is not obvious, he is just a fourth-rank official in Beirong, but the son-in-law is her favorite, and she has lived a very happy life in the past few years.
Now, she has given birth to two children, the eldest son is three years old this year, and the eldest daughter is one year old.
When Lin Fufu's master and servant came to her house, Princess Liwu hadn't gone to bed because of the situation in the imperial city, and Lin Fufu's master and servant descended from the sky, which shocked her and her son-in-law.
The son-in-law immediately stood in front of Princess Liwu, watching Lin Fufu and the four masters and servants warily.
The four masters and servants of Lin Fufu have already taken off their invisibility cloaks. Lin Fufu is wearing Beirong's women's clothing at the moment. Her temperament is clear but weak. Princess Liwu knew that she was not from Beirong when she saw her.
As for Lin Lan and the others, she didn't know each other. After all, she didn't know everyone in Huangfu Jin's family.
"Who are you?" Li Wu's son-in-law naturally didn't know Lin Fufu, but the more Li Wu looked at Lin Fufu, the more familiar she became. Suddenly she remembered that she had seen the portrait of this woman in the study of her fifth younger brother Huangfujin. !
"Are you... Princess Jiahe of Great Wei?" Princess Liwu exclaimed with happiness in her heart.
"Great Wei's Princess Jiahe? Then why did you come to our house in the middle of the night?" Li Wu's son-in-law was also startled, and carefully looked at Lin Fufu's master and servant, only to realize that their expressions were hurried and dignified, even a little embarrassed color.
"But what happened to my brother Jin?" Of course Princess Liwu was most concerned about Huangfu Jin, and immediately looked at Lin Fufu nervously.
Lin Fufu shook his head, looked at her and said, "It's not that something happened to Huangfu Jin, but the funeral of His Majesty Beirong!"
"What? Father, he... died?" Princess Li Wu's body softened. Although she didn't have much affection for that cold-hearted father, in the end it was her father, and blood was thicker than water.
"How did you know?" The son-in-law looked at Lin Fufu warily. He was a courtier of Beirong, and he was not familiar with Lin Fufu.
"Our girl escaped from His Majesty's bedroom. Before His Majesty's death, His Majesty handed over important things to our girl, and told her to bring the things to find Princess Liwu!" Lin Lan reported at this time.
Her fluent Beirong dialect let Li Wu know that she must have been placed by Lin Fujin's side to protect her, so her expression softened a lot.
"Father's funeral is a matter of time. This palace has already made preparations, but I didn't expect that father would hand over important things to you before he died!" Princess Liwu said to Lin Wu because of Huangfujin's relationship The Gospel is still very respectful, using honorific titles.
Lin Fufu didn't drag his feet, and immediately took out the letter of succession from his arms and handed it to Princess Liwu, "This is from His Majesty the Emperor of Beirong, entrusting this palace to His Royal Highness Princess Liwu, you take it!"
At this time, Li Wu's expression became serious, and she and her son-in-law lifted up their clothes and knelt down. Princess Li Wu raised her hands and took the letter of succession from the old emperor from Lin Fufu, and then stood up and looked at Lin Fufu, " Do you know what is written here?"
"I don't know." Lin Fufu spat out two words.
"Since it was entrusted by His Majesty at the end of his life, according to my ministers, it is very likely that it is an imperial edict!" The son-in-law looked at the Minghuang imperial decree held in Princess Liwu's hand in a little hesitation.
Never expected that His Majesty the Emperor would entrust such an important matter to his wife when he was dying.
After all, she is just an unfavored princess...
The imperial decree was sealed with vermilion wax, Princess Liwu naturally wouldn't want to peek at the contents, but her face was ugly.
If it is true that the emperor is passed on, and it is not known who will be established as the new emperor, then this is a hot potato!
"Princess Jiahe..."
"Reporting to Her Royal Highness, our girl is now Her Royal Highness Princess Tiangui of the Great Wei Dynasty!" Lin Lan reported neither humble nor overbearing.
Princess Liwu was taken aback, but immediately changed her words: "His Royal Highness Tiangui Dachang Princess, when you were in the imperial father's bedroom, did you hear that the imperial father prefers which brother in the palace to be the new emperor?"
Lin Fufu had also been thinking about this question, but in the end he couldn't figure out whether the old emperor of Beirong made Huangfu Jin the emperor.
"Although I have talked a lot with His Majesty the Beirong Emperor, I haven't heard from his words which prince or prince he prefers to be the new emperor!" Lin Fufu said honestly.
Princess Liwu's expression became more serious, and she subconsciously looked at the imperial edict in her hand.
"However, I think that His Majesty the Emperor Beirong is aware of the relationship between Princess Liwu and Huangfu Jin. Since he entrusted this palace to hand this over to the princess at the end of his life, there must be no harm to Huangfu Jin." Lin Fufu said after thinking for a while. she said.
"You don't understand that royal father of this palace, he is deep in thought, who knows if he took advantage of the feelings of the fifth emperor Jin of this palace, and deliberately handed this over to this palace?" Princess Liwu thought of the royal father. Scheming, couldn't help sneering.
After all, at this time her brothers and uncles were all at the gates of the city, and he dared not trust anyone. It was indeed the safest choice to choose her.
Because, in her heart, she also hoped that the royal title would be passed on to Emperor Jin in the book of passing on the position. For the sake of her father's choice of her, she would also think that her father preferred Emperor Jin, so she would definitely Do your best to do this.
Lin Fufu glanced at her and said: "Even if he uses the princess, in order for Beirong to survive this crisis, you should do as His Majesty Beirong wants!"
"Then what if it's not Emperor Jin?" Princess Liwu stared deeply at the bright yellow imperial decree in her hand, as if she wanted to have a pair of sharp eyes to see to whom it was written.
"It doesn't matter whether it's true or not. The most urgent thing is to stabilize the situation. When I first came here, the city was already in chaos." Lin Fufu said calmly.
Princess Liwu's eyes flashed, and she said coldly: "It's okay, those people are not stupid, after killing a few early birds, no one will act rashly again."
Lin Fufu sneered when he heard the words, "Not necessarily. After all, they all know the news of Huangfu Jin's entry into King Jingqin, and they don't have much time left. When Huangfu Jin gets closer to the imperial city, those people will unite to deal with him first. , so it's better to read out His Majesty's edict first, so as to buy time for Huangfu Jin."
"Yes! What you said is right!" Princess Liwu wanted to understand what Lin Fufu said, and immediately looked at the son-in-law, "Husband, we need to prepare and enter the palace at dawn!"
The son-in-law obviously has the trust of Princess Liwu, and he is also very loyal to Princess Liwu, so he nodded immediately, "I'll go prepare now!"
"His Royal Highness Princess Tiangui has worked hard for you, allowing you to be involved in our Beirong's political affairs, and trouble you to bring your father's imperial decree. I don't know how to thank you!" Princess Liwu handed over the imperial decree. After giving it to the old nun behind her, she supported Lin Fufu's arms with both hands, with gratitude in her eyes.
Lin Fufu raised his eyebrows and smiled, "It's fate to encounter such a thing, Your Royal Highness don't need to thank you. Besides, if the Beirong is in chaos, we Dawei will not be able to please."
Lin Fufu made her feel at ease.
Li Wu naturally understood her intentions, and after saying a few more words, she arranged for Lin Fufu and her master and servant to rest.
"Girl, do you know what Princess Liwu will do next?" Lin Ju asked impatiently as she lay on Lin Fufu's couch.
In the darkness, Lin Fufu opened his eyes and replied calmly: "After Emperor Beirong's funeral, those princes and princes will definitely invite the ministers to go to court. At that time, Princess Liwu will announce the succession of the old emperor with a letter of succession." candidate."
"Then... Could it be the master?" Lin Ju was most concerned about this question, and Lin Lan and Lin He who were lying on the couch beside the bed also pricked up their ears.
Lin Fufu chuckled, "Whether it is your master or not is not important. As long as the edict is announced, even if the new emperor of Beirong is someone else, it will be justifiable for your master to enter Jingqin. Otherwise, the old emperor has already died Now, what name does he still use as King Qin?"
"But our master is such a character, if he hadn't become a great treasure, it would be too wronged!" Lin Ju defended her master's injustice.
Lin Fufu was not worried about this. She was thinking that if it was really not Huangfujin, then the new emperor of Beirong would naturally be more afraid of Huangfujin than the previous emperor.
Even if Huangfu Jin has settled the mess for him now, when the situation improves, it will be natural to kill the donkey.
Thinking about it this way, Huangfu Jin won the emperor's position once and for all.
I hope the old emperor will not let her down!
A sleepless night.
As soon as the day was bright, Princess Liwu and his wife took the old emperor's letter of succession and boarded a carriage to the Beirong Palace.
And the princes and princes guarding the old emperor's bedroom here are still arguing non-stop.
Although the news of the old emperor's funeral has spread overnight, the officials will rush to the palace to discuss important matters as soon as possible.
Lin Fufu is an outsider, so it is inconvenient for him to enter the palace again, but he did not dare to say goodbye to Liwu's mansion, after all, the subordinates of the fox-faced man have mixed in the city to inquire about their four masters and servants.
Although he was hiding in Princess Liwu's mansion, news from outside came one after another. Lin Fufu learned that Huangfujin's army was still thirty miles away from reaching the imperial city.
Lin Fufu immediately ordered Lin He and Lin Ju, "You two go out of the city immediately, and tell your master all the news in the imperial city in detail!"
Because of the severe martial law in the imperial city, not even a bird could fly out, so Lin He Linju could only be let out of the city.
What Lin Fufu thought was that as long as Lin He and Lin Ju changed their costumes a little, the people on the side of the fox-faced man should not recognize them, so he was relieved.
Lin He and Lin Ju took the order to leave, but they didn't expect that someone had already been watching Princess Liwu's mansion closely.
After Lin He, Lin Ju came out of Princess Liwu's mansion, the fox-faced man received the news. He was sitting in his mansion holding fragrant tea at the moment, and after hearing the words, he put down the teacup slowly, with a half-smile She hooked her lips and spit out a few words lightly, "Let's go to Princess Liwu's mansion!"
