Return after the poison of rebirth

Chapter 327

All the officials outside the door were still kneeling, listening to the thunder and anger in horror.

A gust of wind enters the palace, a roll of dancing candles.

After a long while, Murong Wu snorted coldly, "Even if your father's death has nothing to do with you, you still have something to do with his sudden death! If you took good care of your father, how could your father pass away so quickly?"

Facing the aggressive Murong Wu, Murong coughed and stopped him: "Eldest brother, don't say that, the fourth brother is dedicated, father is old and diligent in political affairs, it is not what we want , but it cannot be blamed on the fourth brother."

Murong Wu glared at Murong Shu displeasedly, "Are you on the same side as him? You only know how to eat, drink and have fun every day. When have you ever cared about your father's affairs! It's not your turn to intervene in this matter!"

Tonight's Murong Wu was extraordinarily excited and arrogant, without any regard for brotherhood.

"Okay! Prince, you can scold if you want, if you can scold your father back, we won't retaliate!" Murong Shu was also anxious, and shouted at Murong Wu.

"You all turned against each other!" Murong Wu's eyes showed a fierce look.

"Father has passed away, no matter how much you say, it won't help." Murong Yu opened her mouth, and her gentle voice calmed down the anger among the brothers, "A country cannot be without a king for a day. After the death of the father, he will inherit the throne."

As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the hall.

The corners of Murong Wu's mouth twitched, and he tried hard to suppress the smile on his face. After waiting for so long, he finally waited for the day of inheriting the throne.

The attendant often approached from outside the palace, and said with a squeeze of voice: "The third highness is right. As the crown prince, the eldest prince should inherit the throne. But the emperor left an imperial edict before he passed away."

"What? How could there be an imperial edict?" Murong Wu cried out in astonishment. He quickly walked up to the attendant and stretched out his hand to snatch it. "Bring it to me! Father never mentioned anything." The edict must be false."

"The imperial edict must be read in front of all officials. Only after reading it can it be circulated. You can't show it to the crown prince yet, but if the crown prince doesn't believe it, academicians from the Imperial Academy can come to appraise the handwriting and seal." The attendant held the imperial edict in his hand , said in no hurry.

Murong Wu stretched his sleeves, and said: "I definitely don't believe it! Come and find the academicians of the Imperial Academy, not just one, but all of them."

Academicians of the Imperial Academy who were kneeling outside the palace were invited into the palace by the palace people.

"You guys look carefully, is this edict true or not? Forging an imperial edict is a felony! I want to see, who has the guts!" Murong Wu sternly said with anger in his brows.

Chang Shi held the imperial decree and sent it to the academicians of the Imperial Academy.

Murong Wu chose the seat and sat down, his expression was a bit contemptuous, his father was lingering on the sick bed for a long time, often in a daze, it is absolutely impossible to leave a will.

After Murong Wu sat down, the palace servants brought tea.

Murong Pavilion stood not far away, watching the academicians of the Imperial Academy compare and check repeatedly, their palms were covered with sticky sweat.

Murong Yu also chose a place to sit down, drinking tea in a leisurely manner.

Murong Shu glanced at Murong Pavilion who was clenching his teeth tightly, and asked strangely: "Fourth brother, what are you afraid of?"

"Afraid? What do I have to be afraid of? Second brother, you read it wrong!" Murong Ge quickly restrained the expression on his face and squeezed out a smile.

Hearing this, Murong Wu turned around and looked at Murong Ge with a sneer.

Wanting to compete with him for the throne, I am really impatient!
The academicians of the Imperial Academy discussed it for a while, and with the result, the academician returned the imperial edict to the Chang Shi, walked up to Murong Wu and cupped his hands and said: "The old minister has carefully checked it and discussed it with other academicians. , or the ink marks are fine. The seal on the edict is clear, it should be written by the first emperor, not a counterfeit."

"It's impossible!" Murong Wu stood up and shouted, frowning.

Chang Shi smiled and took a step forward, "Why is it impossible? Your Majesty is wise, and he took care of everything before he passed away. Now that the academicians say it's all right, what else does His Highness want?"

Murong Wu tightly clenched the corners of his mouth, a cold light poured out of his widened eyes.

"I don't believe it! This can't be true!" Murong Wu stared at the imperial decree in Chang Shi's hand, his eyes were sinister.

"The academicians say it's true, what else is your Highness thinking? Do you want the emperor to come back from the dead to prove the authenticity of this edict?" Chang Shi Yin Yang said strangely.

Murong Ge let go of his high-hanging heart, "Brother, don't worry, after the servant has finished reading the imperial edict, won't you be able to argue the truth?"

Murong Wu glared at him angrily, "Read it! In terms of seniority and seniority, the throne should be passed on to me!"

The servant Chang cleared his throat, "The servant is about to read, and please ask the prince to kneel outside the hall to listen to the order."

The four princes walked out of the hall and knelt on the ground, listening to the edict read out by the attendant.

The permanent attendant unfolded the imperial decree, and read in a sharp voice: "Following the heavens, the emperor ordered that the fourth prince, Murongge, has done a great job in solving the problem of the Yellow River. He has won my heart. He is a prince, respectful and modest, dignified, self-denial and others, It can be set as an example. Today, seeing my succession, I can be regarded as a great leader."

After reading the imperial decree, Murong Wu was the first to stand up, snatched it away, and kept muttering: "Impossible! Impossible! I am the crown prince, how could the father pass on the throne to her, and Don't pass it on to me!"

Murong Ge was not in a hurry either, watching Murong Wu who was panicked like a trapped animal holding the imperial edict to check repeatedly.

After reading it, Murong Wu felt that the sky was falling.The handwriting couldn't be more familiar, it is indeed the handwriting of the emperor...

"You asked someone to imitate this, right? The jade seal on it was also stamped by you." Murong Wu held the imperial decree tightly, staring at Murong Pavilion and asked forcefully.

"Brother, what are you talking about? This is an imperial edict written by the emperor himself. Although I am also a little surprised, the elder brother has been the crown prince for so many years, and the throne should be passed on to you. But what can be done? This is from the emperor. Meaning, father wants me to be the emperor. He thinks that I am more suitable for the throne than the elder brother!" Murong Ge's lips seemed to be full of sarcasm, making people hate him.

"You're talking nonsense!" Murong Wu threw the edict on the ground fiercely, "I'm no worse than you in any way, you just wrote ten strategies for flooding the Yellow River, why should I give you the throne?"

The smile on Murong Ge's lips faded away, his gaze turned cold a little bit, he glanced at the imperial decree on the ground, and asked, "Murong Wu, what do you mean?"

Murong Wu also planned for this day for a long time, and immediately looked into Murong Ge's eyes and sneered, "That is to say, I don't believe this edict, nor do I believe what you people say!"

"You want to rebel?" Murong Ge raised his voice.

A thunderbolt struck, illuminating the faces of the two facing each other, and also illuminating the figure that all civil and military officials could not kneel down.

Everyone in the world wants it, but there is only one throne!
The bean-heavy spring rain fell, rustling on the glazed tiles, and on the bodies of civil and military officials, making them tremble.

Murong Pavilion and Murong Wu stood in the rain, neither of them moved.

Murong stood up an umbrella and walked into the rain curtain, came in front of the two of them and said: "Father died tonight, you don't feel sorry for Father's life and death, but you are fighting for the throne here with brothers and sisters. Wait until Father is buried After entering the imperial mausoleum, we will talk about the throne."

The voices of the two remained motionless, like two straight knives embedded in the wind and rain.

Murong stood between the two of them, he could not bear the anger and said: "Father's bones are not cold yet, and the heroic spirit is still watching in the palace. If you do this, you will make it difficult for him to close his eyes, and you will make it difficult for all civil and military officials to see the joke? Dongling finally Pay attention to filial piety, but if such things spread, how will you let the people of the world think of you? Even if you become the emperor, you will still have to bear the infamy of unfilial piety for the rest of your life!"

After hearing what Murong Shu said, the two of them relaxed a bit.

Murong Wu flung his sleeves first and entered the palace, the coldness in his eyes remained unchanged.Murong Ge looked at Murong Wu's back and sneered.

The world is fighting, and bones are forming mountains, he is not afraid!
Emperor Yuxuan's body was put into a dark wood and stayed in the palace for three days, and all officials mourned.

Liu Yunxi went to Baohua Hall, followed by Chang Shi, who held another imperial edict in his hand.

During the period of confinement in Baohua Palace, Queen Wang seemed to have washed away all the lead and escaped into the Buddhist gate.All the hair ornaments on his head have been taken off, and a cloth cap is put on with his hair coiled up.The phoenix robe on his body was also taken off and replaced with ordinary civilian clothes.

She knelt in front of the Buddha and recited scriptures silently, as if she was indifferent to everything in the world.

After hearing the sound of the door knocking, she stopped the prayer beads in her hand.

Liu Yunxi stood by the door, staring at her slender back with gloomy eyes and unpredictable light and shadow.

The attendant took a step forward holding the imperial edict and said: "Your Majesty, don't read it now! You can continue to read it after listening to the imperial edict."

Queen Wang turned around and looked at Liu Yunxi's eyes without any waves.

She knelt down without asking a word, and listened to the imperial edict read out by the attendant.

After listening to Chang Shi finished reading, she knew that Emperor Yuxuan had passed away, and she needed to be buried with him.

Liu Yunxi raised the corners of her lips and looked at her, "The empress is not surprised, doesn't she want to ask a question?"

Queen Wang opened her eyes, stared at her very calmly and said: "I know this imperial edict is fake, he has been merciless to me all his life, how could he ask me to be buried with him!"

As she said that, she showed a bitter smile, "If you want me to die, I will die. In my life, I will always go to Huangquan. At least there is him on the road to Huangquan, so I can see him again."

The palace servants came out with the poisoned wine, and the jade cup and calendula contained the dark red wine, which was mellow to the bone and bright red.Like the tears in Liren's eyes, the blood between the beauty's lips.

Queen Wang took it, looked at Liu Yunxi and said: "Buddhist scriptures say that there is no way to misfortune and good fortune, but people call upon themselves; the retribution of good and evil follows like a shadow. The sins you have committed, the sins you have committed, and the cycle of cause and effect will eventually be rewarded." that day."

Liu Yunxi lowered his eyes slightly, and smiled vaguely, "I'm afraid I will disappoint the empress, I don't believe in Buddhism, I don't believe in God's will. I am not afraid of the day of retribution. There are few good people in the world, but there are many evil people. If there is retribution, how can I Shouldn't you be killed? Only you cowardly and useless people believe in God and believe in retribution. For things you can't do, you always hope that God can decide for you. No one can decide for you if it's useless! My Fate is only in my hands!"

Queen Wang just laughed, she didn't want to argue with Liu Yunxi.

If there is, there is, if not, there is nothing.If a person does all the bad things, he doesn't need to be paid by the sky, and someone will pay for it.

She drank the poisoned wine in one gulp, gently wiped off the wine stains with her fingertips, turned around and continued to kneel in front of the Buddha statue, and bowed heavily with her hands spread out.

After this obeisance, she never got up again, spat out a mouthful of crimson blood from her mouth and stained the golden seat of the lotus flower.

Queen Wang raised her head and looked at the gentle and downcast eyes of the Buddha statue with all her strength. All grievances and grievances in the world have a cause and effect. Debts go with them.

Floating lights and flashes of the world are nothing but dream bubbles.Love and hate are both rain and dew, and they disperse in the morning, so you can't be persistent.
