Chapter 698 The Pit Depth Changed to 131 Meters (6)
This day is February 32th in the [-]nd year of Zhihua.

When Xiao Qian entered the palace, the thunder was thicker and the rain was heavier.

In the side hall of the Jinrui Palace, everyone was discussing the funeral. Several princes, including the young prince Song Ao, were also present, all of them had red eyes and looked restless.At this time, Song Ao didn't know about Peng Xin's escape, so Xiao Qian glanced at him, so naturally he didn't have time to tell him.

Song Xi, who was seated in Xiao Qian's court, cupped his hands, "The humble minister sees His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Xiao Aiqing is here, please sit down quickly." Song Xi's always gentle face showed a trace of grief that could not be concealed, his expression was solemn, and his tone was also very heavy, "This morning, Your Majesty's Dragon Yu Bintian, I have summoned Xiao Shijun Entering the palace is to discuss funeral arrangements."

Xiao Qian nodded silently.

Seeing that he was silent, everyone sighed for a long time. It was nothing more than talking about how Emperor Zhihua was able to govern the country well, with great virtue, and now he suddenly suffered from a serious illness, and his life was lost. This is Nanrong's regret... But they He was talking, but his eyes were on Xiao Qian, wanting to see how he would express his opinion.

Xiao Qian's eyes were dim, but his tone was very indifferent, "A country cannot live without a ruler for a day, the matter has come to this point, it is more important to pay for the funeral of the former emperor, and it is more important to support the new emperor."

When he said this, he stopped slowly.

Everyone's ears were pricked up, and their hearts were hanging high.

He said he would support the new king, but he didn't say he wanted to support the prince.

Could something be wrong again?Thinking about the large army in the capital, Xiao Qian could mobilize hundreds of thousands casually at that time. If he surrounded the capital and washed the imperial capital with blood... Even if His Highness the crown prince succeeded to the throne, it is not impossible for him to reverse the situation with his fists.

"Boom—"

Another thunder blasted on the tiles, as if it was going to split the Jinrui Hall.

Many people were already sweating nervously.

Only Song Xi looked at Xiao Qian quietly, but Xiao Qian's eyes fell on Song Ao's face.

Someone followed Xiao Qian's gaze to see Song Ao, seeing his bewildered look, couldn't help shivering—there are actually very few people who dare to risk the disgrace of the world.If Xiao Qian strongly recommends Song Ao, there will be a bloody storm in the dynasty, and I don't know how many heads will fall.

Subconsciously, everyone still hopes for a smooth transition.

At this moment, everyone lives like a year.

But Xiao Qian's eyes turned and fell on Song Xi.

Song Xi also looked at him lightly.

As long as the two people looked at each other, the hall was silent for a long time.An undercurrent floating in the air was turbulent between the two of them, but both of them were very calm, only the palms of the officials were clenched tightly, nervously waiting for a result to come.

After a long while, Xiao Qian came out slowly, raised the corner of his robe, and knelt on the ground on one knee.

"The crown prince was appointed by the late emperor. Now that the late emperor has passed away, His Royal Highness the crown prince should obey the destiny, inherit the great order, succeed the throne before the spirit, and lead all the ministers to attend the funeral for the late emperor, so as to consolidate the foundation of the country!"

Before he could finish his voice, all the officials gathered together and knelt down on the ground in unison.

"Respectfully invite His Royal Highness to succeed the emperor!"

Song Xi slowly pursed his lips and looked at the top of Xiao Qian's head.

This massive "persuasion" is different from before.With Xiao Qian taking the lead, all the officials in the palace supported him.In other words, his position as emperor was not so much conferred by the first emperor, but because Xiao Qian did not object.

Pulling his lips slowly, he sighed.

As usual, he had to decline and wait for the third "persuasion."

"The first emperor just passed away, and his bones were not yet cold. My palace, like all the lovers, is deeply saddened. Nanrong has all the ministers to assist, and even without a king, there will be no trouble. Let's discuss this matter later, and all the lovers will come first."
