Stunning weapon

Yan State, Youzhou City.Just after the first month, the Emperor of Yan Kingdom passed away suddenly. Fang Xin was attending the funeral for his son. Halfway through, he had to enter the palace to discuss the emperor's funeral.

The Ministry of Rites in the court and the inner palace in the palace are all busy.Everyone was busy, and put aside state affairs, Mei Shichang was busy with palace affairs, while Fang Xin and the Ministry of Rites were busy with outside affairs.The emperor's coffin should be made of golden nanmu. Originally, this had to be prepared in advance, but the emperor of Yan Kingdom didn't know why, maybe he thought that if he prepared it, he would die.Therefore, there was no preparation for the wood materials, and now they are in a hurry to use them. As a last resort, they sent people to transport them from Chu State day and night, and the shipping cost exceeded one million taels of silver.This made Yan's already empty treasury even more vulnerable.

Of course, this is not counted. After the coffin is completed, as for the 49 coats of paint, these are not included.

Those damn Taoist priests seemed to be afraid that they would be blamed for not refining the elixir of life and death, so they chose half a month later, which made Fang Xin, who was already pressed for time, even more anxious.As for Fang Chengzhong's funeral, no one paid any attention to it, and Fang Xin was too busy, so his elder brother did it for him.

Finally, when the day came, 72 people carried the coffin out of the east gate.Members of the royal family and courtiers also came out in full force, following the large-scale flag-leading team in front, holding up all kinds of mourning objects and walking forward, followed by a guard of honor of more than 1000 people, walking on the street mightily, and at a glance Not to the head.The bearer who carried the coffin and those who followed him all wore filial piety, and the common people also wore filial piety in front of the shops.

The whole city of Youzhou was almost turning white.

When Yan Guo was immersed in this atmosphere, Fang Xin, who was so busy that he almost forgot who he was, suddenly realized that the crown prince hadn't arrived, and the third prince Ye Yi only showed a face, then no one is seen.

Such a big event, the princes are not here, what is it like.

When Fang Xin was about to send someone to look for it, he saw a fast horse coming in a hurry, and reported that the prince Ye Bo actually took his family's guards to the palace at this time to force the queen to ascend the throne in advance.

Fang Xin's thought at the time was that it was impossible. Could it be that Ye Bo's head was kicked by a donkey?The emperor passed away, he was the crown prince, and his ascension to the throne was a matter of time, how could he do such a thing at this time, if he wasn't crazy, then he was just impatient.

Just before he could straighten out his thoughts, another fast horse came to report that the third prince led people to quell the chaos. The prince lost to the third prince, and he was forced to the lake in the palace and his subordinates squeezed into the lake. Now life and death unknown.

Fang Xin's mind is in a mess, what is it all about.

However, now he also understands, it seems that Ye Yi planned this all by himself, although he doesn't know how he made Ye Bo do such a stupid thing, but there is no doubt about it .Ye Bo did indeed do an extremely stupid thing, which gave Ye Yi an absolute advantage.

Now among the princes, only Ye Yi is left, so he is absolutely understandable to be the heir to the throne, and he can't change it.

Fang Xin sighed softly, ordered the team to stop, and then discussed with Mei Shichang, and the two hurried towards the palace.

When they came to the gate of the palace, there was a mess inside. After a while, the two entered the palace and saw Ye Yi galloping towards him.Fang Xin's complexion was a bit ugly, but Mei Shichang sighed slightly and fell silent.

After Ye Yi came over, he jumped off his horse and said, "Fang Xiangguo, Mr. Mei. Are you here?"

Er is also busy returning gifts.Mei Shichang didn't say anything, Fang Xin had no choice but to open his mouth when he saw this, and said, "Third Prince, what's going on? How could this happen? Where's the prince?"

Ye Yi lowered his head sadly, and said: "Brother Huang, I don't know why he would do such a thing. If the guards around the queen mother didn't find something wrong and asked me for help in time, something serious would happen... ..."

The muscles on Fang Xin's face twitched. Hearing what Ye Yi said, it seemed that Ye Bo was dead, and it was not a big deal. However, he couldn't say it directly, so he pretended not to know, and asked again: "The prince now..."

"Brother Huang was squeezed into the lake. I am sending people to salvage it now. However, after such a long time, I have not seen anyone. I don't know if he is alive or dead. We have to wait and see..." Ye Yi said.

Fang Xin knew Ye Yi's sentence to wait, and he was afraid that he didn't know how long he would have to wait.

When Mo Xiaochuan made such a fuss, how many people drowned in the palace, besides the noble concubine of his Fang family, there were also many court ladies, eunuchs and some concubines and nobles.The corpses inside were all piled up in mountains, and many of them have not been found until now.Ye Bo fell into the lake and asked Ye Yi to salvage it, fearing that the body would never be found again.

Seeing Fang Xin's complexion, Ye Yi seemed to realize something, and hurriedly said: "Before I received news from my mother, due to the seriousness of the situation, I had to deal with it myself. I didn't explain it to the two adults. It's really my king's fault. Afterwards, this king will take the punishment himself."

Fang Xin smiled wryly, when the time comes, you will become the emperor, who dares to punish you.However, now that things have reached this point, even if he wanted to say something, he couldn't say anything.He could only face it with a wry smile, and said: "Since the third prince has already sent someone to deal with it, it is up to the third prince to arrange it. However, His Majesty's holy body is still at the east gate, so we must not let it go, and ask the third prince to take one." idea."

Ye Yi saw that Fang Xin was shirking responsibility.How could he be fooled by this, just pretending to be sad, and said: "The family is in misfortune, the country is in misfortune, the father has just passed away. Now the life and death of the emperor's brother is unknown. This king is already a six gods and has no master. I really have no idea. Everything is up to you Xiangguo arrangement."

Fang Xin was helpless, turned his head to look at Mei Shichang, and said, "What does Master Mei mean?"

Mei Shichang shook his head, and said: "I'm just a rough person. It's up to Mr. Xiangguo to make up his mind. The lower officials will listen to Mr. Xiangguo."

Fang Xin looked at the slippery fat man in front of him, and couldn't help coughing lightly, expressing his dissatisfaction.However, it stands to reason that at this time, Ye Yi can completely evade it, and Mei Shichang has also arranged his own affairs, and if there is such a disturbance in the palace, he can completely use this matter to push everything out .

Now, Fang Xin has no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Then, Mrs. Mei will stay in the palace to look for the prince. How about the third prince and the old man go to the east gate together?" Fang Xin is now unable to let Ye Yi resist his responsibility. up.However, Ye Yi must be pulled down, otherwise, he will use this kind of thing as an excuse to make things difficult for him in the future, even if he has a mouth, he will not be able to explain it clearly.

Ye Yi also knew that Fang Xin couldn't be pushed into a hurry.If this is the time, don't give Fang Xin a step down.I'm afraid that Fang Xin will think that Ye Yi is deliberately trying to deal with the Fang family. At that time, when he ascends the throne, I am afraid that the Fang family will make things difficult for him.

Therefore, Ye Yi had no choice but to nod his head and said: "Since Lord Xiangguo said so. Then, there is Lord Laomei. This king will accompany Lord Xiangguo to see off the father."

Mei Shichang looked at Ye Yi with no expression on his face, but he understood very well in his heart.However, the matter has come to this point, and he has nothing to do, since he can't change it, Mei Shichang didn't bother to say anything, just nodded and saluted, and said: "I will follow the arrangements of the prince and the Xiangguo."

"Then it's settled." Fang Xin's mind was in a mess at the moment, so he had no choice but to leave it at that.After finishing speaking, he turned his head to Ye Yi and said, "Third Prince, this matter is of great importance. You must not keep His Majesty waiting for the Eucharist for too long, otherwise it may cause panic among the people. Let's go now."

Ye Yi nodded, and said: "Okay. However, I don't know much about this, so I need to take someone with me. Lord Xiangguo, wait a moment." After Ye Yi finished speaking, he whispered a few words to the people beside him What, after that, I saw Ye Yi's subordinate leave in a hurry, and after a while, he came over with an old man who was over half a century old but full of vigor.

When Fang Xin saw the old man, he was slightly taken aback.He also knew Mu Guang, and he knew that Mu Guang was quite capable.However, I don't know much about it, but I heard that he followed the second prince Ye Rui before, then followed Mo Xiaochuan, and then followed Ye Yi.

Although this person can be regarded as a family slave with three surnames.However, seeing him now, Fang Xin couldn't help but think highly of him.

According to the situation, Ye Yi would take him to see it.This time about Ye Bo's matter, I am afraid that he is the mastermind.To be able to design such an ingenious plan, so that things have already happened, Fang Xin still can't see the ingenuity in it.It can be seen that this person is indeed not an idler.

Moreover, his status in Ye Yi's place is so high.In the future when Ye Yi ascends the throne, this person is afraid that he will skyrocket, and in the future Yan Kingdom, there will be more figures like Mu Guang.

Thinking of this, Fang Xin nodded slightly to Mu Guang.

Mu Guang didn't dare to underestimate the head of the Fang family, Xiangguo of Yan country, and hurriedly returned the gift.

Ye Yi looked at Fang Xin, and said: "This is Mr. Mu, and he is an aide in the palace of the prince. However, the king is both a teacher and a friend to Mr. Mu. Let Mr. Mu go together so that I can remind you a little bit. A few words from the king, this is not a breach of etiquette? This king is young, and I don’t know much about it. If you have any questions from Mr. Xiangguo, you can speak up. This king is open-minded to be taught..."

How could Fang Xin teach Ye Yi at this moment? Hearing what he said, he could only shake his head and said, "It's okay. We'd better hurry over there."

"Okay!" After Ye Yi said, he personally delivered Fang Xin to the sedan chair, then rode with Mu Guang and headed straight for the east gate.

When they came to the east gate, they saw all the civil and military officials gathered together, all of them looked puzzled and didn't know what happened.Behind the hundred officials, there are royal family relatives and relatives, etc., which are also unknown, and behind them are the cars and sedan chairs of those concubines, which are continuous.

Empress Xia Chuling is said to have passed out because of excessive grief just after the emperor died, and has not woken up until now, so she never came.However, in this team, there is Xia Chuyue.Xia Chuyue saw Ye Yi, with a look of "you've succeeded this time", she smiled lightly, and then put away her smile.

Although they only looked at each other briefly, Ye Yi couldn't help but frowned, and said to Mu Guang behind him: "I'm afraid it's not easy to keep this woman in the future."

Mu Guang's face remained unchanged, and he said in a low voice: "My lord, don't think so much now, it is right to stand firm first."

"Mr. Mu is right. It's the king who has become impatient and gets carried away with complacency." Ye Yi immediately restrained himself, and looked at the funeral procession again with a sad expression on his face.I saw that there were still a large number of Taoist priests and nuns behind the sedan chair. They were wearing cassocks, holding law enforcement weapons, and constantly muttering about something.

The entire funeral procession was extremely long, and with Fang Xin's arrival, they slowly left towards the east gate.
