I!Wine Sword Immortal, signed in Shushan for 500 years

Chapter 180 The ministers express their condolences, mysterious gray air

"what?"

"Can you say that again?"

Chu Zhan suspected that he had heard wrong.

"My lord, the king is dead!"

The butler repeated it helplessly.

"The king died? How is this possible?"

"Your Majesty is a monk of Nascent Soul Dzogchen, how could he die like this?"

Chu Zhan couldn't believe it.

He remembered that Tang Ding was fine when he went to court two days ago.

"Master, it's not something that young people can know."

"The person who sent the message in the palace, let the master go to the palace as soon as possible."

The death of the Tang king was a major event, and naturally the ministers of the court and the central government were required to go to the palace to express their condolences.

"Well, okay, I know, now leave for the palace immediately."

"Father, I'll go with you."

Chu Feng was also a little curious about how Tang Ding died so suddenly.

Although Tang Ding has never been able to cross the hurdle of Nascent Soul Dzogchen, it shouldn't be a problem to live for hundreds of years.

"it is good!"

Soon, Chu Zhan and Chu Feng went to the palace.

……

At this time, the royal palace was completely empty.

Whether it is the maids, eunuchs, or guards, they are all dressed in white, with solemn faces.

In the Golden Palace.

Tang Ding's body was placed in the center.

Next to him are Eunuch Li and a group of princes and ministers.

"Your Majesty, why did you leave like this!"

"Your Majesty, I have only studied halfway with you!"

"."

The princes and ministers burst into tears, with expressions of grief on their faces.

How many of these people are genuinely sad is not known.

But there is one person who is truly sad, and that is the sixth prince, Tang Chen.

At this time, Tang Chen's eyes were flushed, and there was a hint of sadness between his brows, and he was walking in from the outside.

"Eunuch Li, you are my father's personal eunuch, he was fine before, why did he die suddenly?"

Tang Chen looked at Eunuch Li and asked.

As soon as these words came out, all the princes and ministers also looked at Eunuch Li.

"Back to the sixth prince, the king has been trying to break through to the state of transforming gods for a while, maybe it was too hasty, which caused something wrong in his cultivation, and he died."

Eunuch Li shook his head and sighed.

When the princes and ministers heard the words, they all nodded secretly.

They knew that Tang Ding had been trying to break through to the God Transformation Realm, but he hadn't broken through for a long time. Under impatience, it was normal for his practice to go wrong.

"Eunuch Li, what did the imperial physician who inspected the father's body say?"

Tang Chen asked.

When the previous kings of the Tang Dynasty passed away, whether it was a natural death or a sudden death, the imperial physician would check it.

"Doctor Hu."

Eunuch Li looked at one of the old men.

This old man was Imperial Physician Hu who examined Tang Ding's body.

"Sixth prince, the king's body does not have any wounds, and there is no sign of poisoning. It should be that something went wrong in his cultivation and he died suddenly."

Doctor Hu replied respectfully.

"okay, I get it."

Tang Chen nodded.

Suddenly remembered something and said: "Ministers, although my father died, the Tang Dynasty still needs to operate normally."

"Those who have mourned, return to their respective posts first and preside over official duties!"

"Yes!"

The ministers responded and retreated one after another.

At this moment, Chu Zhan and Chu Feng walked in from the outside.

"Elder Chu, Commander Chu."

The retired ministers greeted Chu Zhan and Chu Feng.

Among them, those who were active in mind wanted to talk to Chu Feng, the honorary elder of the Shushan Sword Sect, to get close, but Chu Feng didn't have a chance to talk to them at all, so he hummed lightly and left straight away.

"Elder Chu, Master Chu, you are here."

Tang Chen greeted Chu Feng and Chu Zhan when he saw them.

"Sixth Prince, my condolences."

Chu Feng and Chu Zhan comforted softly.

"Sixth prince, why did the king of Tang die suddenly?"

Chu Feng asked.

"It should be that he has not been able to break through to the realm of transforming gods. Under impatience, his practice went wrong, and then he died."

Tang Chen said.

Cultivation went wrong, died?
It's possible, and it's very likely.

In the classics of the Shushan Sword Sect, it is recorded that many monks died because they were eager to break through because the time limit was approaching.

Although he felt that the possibility was very high, Chu Feng still turned his head to observe Tang Ding's body.

From this observation, Chu Feng did not find any hidden wounds on Tang Ding's body, nor any residual poison in his body.

"Could it be that something went wrong in cultivation?"

Suspicion appeared in Chu Feng's eyes.

Although he felt that Tang Ding might have died because of a mistake in his cultivation, he still felt that Tang Ding's death was not that simple.

"Extreme Immortal Eyes, open!"

Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, Chu Feng urged the Supreme Immortal Eyes.

As the golden light circulated, mysterious symbols appeared on the double pupils, and the world Chu Feng saw changed.

"Huh? What is that?"

Chu Feng saw a wisp of gray gas smaller than a spider's thread disappearing from Tang Ding's body.

Except for the color, this tiny wisp of gray gas has the same fluctuations as the surrounding aura, so it's no wonder that Chu Feng didn't notice any abnormality before.

"This wisp of gray air fluctuates normally, not the air of a demon."

Chu Feng had a preliminary judgment, but he didn't have an answer for what this wisp of gray air was for a while. Taking advantage of everyone's unpreparedness, he wrapped the wisp of gray air with spiritual energy and put it beside him. After returning, he would study it again. some.

"Sixth prince, the king has passed away. Shouldn't the fourth prince come back to express his condolences?"

Eunuch Li asked.

"this?"

A look of hesitation appeared on Tang Chen's face.

According to the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty, when the king of Tang passed away, his children needed condolences, and Tang Mengqiu, who was far away from the Emei School, was already on his way back. Naturally, Tang Yong also needed to return to the king's city to express his condolences.

But at the beginning Tang Ding had a decree, if there was no call, Tang Yong would not be allowed to return to the royal city!
That is to say, if Tang Yong is asked to return to the king's city to express his condolences, he must make an order, and only the king of Tang can make an order!
"Eunuch Li, you also know that Tang Yong was not allowed to return to the royal city if there was no call from his father's decree."

A look of embarrassment appeared on Tang Chen's face.

"Sixth prince, it's easy to handle. As long as you ascend the throne and become the king of Tang, you will naturally order the fourth prince to come back from the border to express condolences."

Eunuch Li reminded.

"Enthronement?"

"Eunuch Li, my father hasn't ordered me to be the crown prince yet. If I take the throne rashly, there may be turmoil."

Tang Chen naturally hoped to ascend the throne and become the King of Tang, but there was no imperial decree, and it seemed that it was not in accordance with etiquette to ascend the throne by himself.

"The sixth prince is too worried. Most of the officials in the court now support the sixth prince. It is only natural for the sixth prince to ascend to the throne."

"It seems to be the same reason."

Tang Chen nodded.

Today, more than half of the Tang Dynasty's court is his own people. If he ascends the throne, they are all beneficiaries. Even if there is turmoil, they will definitely fight to put it down.

"Eunuch Li, after my father's body is buried, I will announce my enthronement. After I am enthroned, I will decree that Tang Yong will return to the royal city and offer condolences in front of the royal mausoleum."

After thinking for a while, Tang Chen pondered.

Now that Tang Ding has just died, it is really inappropriate for him to ascend the throne.

"Everything is under the command of the sixth prince."

"Sixth Prince, this old slave will go down to deal with some matters first."

"Ah."

Eunuch Li bent down to leave, and when he left, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
