After the divorce, I became the Lord of the Six Houses

Chapter 172 The corpse is not Xiao Yi
Xuan Guogong sighed and persuaded: "Ah Yan, although you have a large army in your hands, these royal family members are not vegetarians. If our Su family insists on letting the little princess take the throne, it will really confirm our Su family's relatives in power." crime!"

Su Jingyan hugged Niannian and said: "Your Majesty, he would rather die to keep the throne, why should he hand it over to others?"

Xuan Guogong persuaded: "That's no one else. Didn't you spoil Lin'er in the past? You are Lin'er's godmother..."

Su Jingyan bit her lips and said, "Father, I will never give up the country that His Majesty saved with his life to others, so you will treat me as unfilial, and my daughter will definitely not listen to you in this matter."

Seeing Su Jingyan's extremely uncomfortable appearance, Su Zheng persuaded Xuan Guo to be fair: "Father, Ah Yan's words are also reasonable.

It's just that the little princess is young, if she insists on making the little princess enthroned, I'm afraid it will bring disaster to the little princess! "

Su Jing said: "Brother, don't worry, I will take good care of Nian Nian, and now I only have Nian Nian left, so I won't let Nian Nian make any mistakes."

Seeing that Su Jingyan insisted on this, Xuan Guogong didn't say anything more.

The daughter is suffering enough now, and as a father, he can no longer force her. Fortunately, he can still use the power of the Su family to protect Su Jingyan and Niannian.

Empress Dowager Su twirled the Buddhist beads and said, "Since this is the case, it is better to settle this matter as soon as possible. After all, a country cannot live without a king."

Su Jingyan looked at Xiao Nian Nian in her arms, nodded and said, "Okay."

Su Jingyan changed Nian Nian in her arms into a bright yellow dress with a sackcloth on the outside, and put two white flowers on Nian Nian's black thong, and then carried Nian Nian to the main hall above.

The ministers in front of the coffin wept bitterly. Seeing Su Jingyan come out, the leader, Taifu Hu, said, "Your Majesty, your Majesty has passed away. The country cannot be without a king for a day. Please, Your Majesty, adopt the heir apparent as soon as possible!"

Su Jingyan stood next to the coffin above the main hall, her sharp eyes swept across the clan and royal family kneeling below, and her red lips parted slightly:

"Why does His Majesty need to adopt after leaving an heir? The little princess is His Majesty's only bloodline, and she should be the only heir apparent, and the person who will be enthroned in the future should also be every year!"

Taifu Hu repeatedly said: "Your Majesty, from ancient times to the present, there has been no reason for a princess to ascend the throne in the Central Plains Dynasty!"

Among the clan members, the princes and their relatives were also unconvinced.

"Yes, ma'am, it's not that the Xiao family's royal family has no heirs, it's really inappropriate for the princess to ascend the throne."

Many pure ministers followed closely and said, "Madam, I think His Royal Highness King Ning has done a lot of good in governing the court for His Majesty these days, so it would be better for King Ning to ascend the throne."

"I also think that King Ning's enthronement is the most suitable candidate!"

"The little princess is too young to be powerful in the world, let alone take on the role of emperor. If a regent is arranged, I am afraid that there will be the disaster of today's Xiao Ting! It is better to let King Ning ascend the throne!"

"The little princess is still in her infancy, and she must not be allowed to become the emperor!"

Seeing more and more courtiers refusing, Su Jingyan couldn't help sneering, including those promoted by the Su family.

Su Jingyan glanced at the kneeling Xiao Han and said, "Prince Ning, do you also think that the little princess is not worthy of becoming emperor?"

Xiao Han cupped his hands and said: "Madam, the princess is still in her infancy, it is really difficult to become the lord of the world, I hope Madam will think about the Datang court and choose someone else to be the throne."

Liang Suirou, who was kneeling beside Xiao Han, looked at Su Jingyan with guilt, but she couldn't stop Xiao Han.

Su Jing said: "Since that's the case, let's discuss the matter of the crown prince again, and now we should focus on your majesty's funeral!"

Su Jingyan didn't think they would agree to let Niannian ascend the throne right now.

If Xiao Han was on Niannian's side, it would be easier to say something, but now Xiao Han is also thinking about the ninth five position.

In the past half a year, Xiao Yi went abroad to conquer, and let Xiao Han and Su Zheng take charge of state affairs temporarily. I think Xiao Han won the hearts of many courtiers in the past six months.

It might not be easy for Xiao Han to easily agree to ascend the throne every year.

He had to wait until Xie Heng's army arrived in Luoyang, forcing Xiao Han to agree to ascend the throne every year.

With the army approaching the city, Su Jingyan couldn't believe that there were still people who dared to oppose Nian Nian's ascension to the throne!
Su Jingyan walked to the coffin with Niannian in her arms, wanting to let Niannian see Xiao Yi for the last time.

Unexpectedly, when Nian Nian got close to the coffin, she began to cry, her whole body was full of resistance and went towards the coffin. Su Jingyan's body was already weak these days, and she almost couldn't hold Nian Nian who was struggling and crying.

"Every year!"

Su Jingyan didn't want to get angry with her daughter who was under one year old, but she was a little angry when she saw Nian Nian kept crying.

With tears in Su Jingyan's eyes, suppressing her anger, she sobbed loudly at Young and Young:
"Niannian, the person here is your father, so you can see him for the last time..."

Year after year, she cried harder and struggled harder.

Cheng Lilian stepped forward to hug Niannian and said:
"I've never seen Nian Nian cry so hard. Is it because Nian Nian knows that her father will leave her so she doesn't want to see her father?"

Su Jingyan looked at the corpse in the coffin. These days, the corpse was chilled with ice all the way, not much different, but the smell could still be smelled closely.

Su Jingyan also heard people say that children have bright eyes. Could it be that they are seeing something that adults can't see?
But if Nian Nian really had bright eyes and could see Xiao Yi, why would she cry?
Su Jingyan looked at Xiao Yi in the coffin. This was the first time she had seen Xiao Yi's body so close since the First Battle of the Holy Mountain.

Su Jingyan stretched out her hand to hold the young man's unburned right hand, seeing the jade wrench still wearing on his hand, her heart was full of pain.

Su Jingyan's tears fell drop by drop on the corpse's hands, but she felt something was wrong. The corpse's hands were cold but different from Xiao Yi's.

Xiao Yi also has calluses on his hands since he practiced martial arts since he was a child, but it's just the calluses on the tiger's mouth, not the calluses on the thumb like this corpse, let alone how rough Xiao Yi's hands are.

Su Jingyan lifted the sleeve on the right hand of the corpse, and she looked at it carefully several times, "A Li, come here and help me see if there are no tooth marks on it."

Cheng Li gave Niannian to the nurse beside him, walked up to Su Jingyan and said, "Indeed, there are no tooth marks on it."

Su Jingyan read it again, and when she wanted to check other traces on the body, she found that the body had been charred black, except for the right hand, which had been destroyed by the fire.

Su Jingyan suddenly remembered the weirdness of the wildfire in the holy mountain that day.

Su Jing said: "How could that fire be so strange? How could the whole valley catch fire once it ignited?"

Although there are many wildfires in autumn, it is not that Su Jingyan has never seen wildfires.

Even if someone set the fire on purpose, it wouldn't ignite all of a sudden and burn the entire valley.

Cheng Li looked at Su Jingyan and asked softly, "Ayan, what do you mean? Don't you think this corpse is not His Majesty?"

Su Jingyan also replied in a low voice: "On Xiao Yi's right hand, there is a scar from being bitten every year when I was born, but the right wrist of this corpse has no scar at all..."
