On February 2nd, the dragon raised its head.

This is a small festival among the people, and many people will celebrate it.

But for the court, there is nothing to pay attention to on this day, especially during the current national mourning period, it is even more impossible to make any arrangements.

But today, there are still many officials gathered in the imperial city, not to discuss how to celebrate this festival, but to focus on how to deal with the subsequent changes at tomorrow, a node that all court officials attach great importance to.

Because tomorrow, that is, the third day of the second month, it was decided at the same time after the candidate for the new emperor was decided, and the day for the mourning of the late emperor and the succession to the throne!

In fact, there will be no mistakes in the relevant etiquette regulations, etc., if the officials of the Ministry of Rites are in charge of the host, everyone is more concerned that the main master has not appeared yet. As the new king, Sun Bi is also an indispensable part of the funeral. He has not returned to the capital until today, but this has made everyone either dissatisfied or uneasy.

Once the new king is not there, how should the funeral be held? Who will preside over it? Dayue has always ruled the world with filial piety. At the funeral of the king and father, the new king, as a son, did not show up. How would he convince the public?

At this time, such doubts were already ringing in the Political Affairs Hall, and many officials made similar statements, believing that this is hard to accept.

"Even though King Ying was really the successor chosen by the late emperor, he could not even do the filial piety that must be fulfilled by such a son. How can our ministers feel at ease to hand over the country and the country to him?"

"What Lord Qi said is that before he officially ascended the throne, he has regarded the rituals and laws of ancestors as nothing, and has not been delayed at such an important moment. So when he ascended the throne and became emperor, wouldn't it be even more serious?"

"It's not bad, I think this new lord has to be re-selected..."

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the officials of the Yongwang Party jumped out again. Obviously, they were making their final attempt and had no more worries. They were very blunt, but they wanted to re-establish Yongwang as the new king on the spot.

There are quite a lot of such people, some of whom are Yongwang Party members, while others are dissatisfied with Sun Bi's delay in Jing. As the number of people speaking continued to increase, their tone became more and more intense. In the end, even Tang Qianwen took the initiative to speak and forced Wang Han to express his opinion.

"Your Majesty, you have also seen it. This is all everyone's opinion. King Ying has not been delayed. Does this mean that he does not pay attention to major affairs in the court at all? If such a person is really a King of Great Yue, do you think that would be a blessing for the people of the world?"

Wang Han's face was also very bad, and he even thought he knew more than many people present. I'm afraid that something happened to the King of England was halfway through. But he replied calmly: "You are naturally understandable in your mood, but what you should know more is that Your Majesty was in the northern border, or even on the grassland, and even on the grasslands, even if you rushed back quickly after learning about this, it would take some time.

"Or, he had some changes on his way to the capital and was delayed. It would be reasonable to delay it for a few days. So..."

"The King of Kings is so bad. Even though there are various reasons, this is not the reason why King Ying has never arrived in Beijing until today. If he is really determined, he can come before even if he travels day and night."

"What if he was blocked by some people with ulterior motives on the road?" Wen Ming couldn't help but retorted, "As far as I know, there are many people in the court who want to violate the intention of the last emperor's remains and make others the new king. Maybe they have made some stumblings on the road. For example, in Xiyou Town a few days ago..."

"Master Wen is careful!" Wang Han heard that he was about to talk about the matter, and quickly interrupted. But he was still one step late, and someone immediately followed him: "Master Wen said this, do you think something might have happened to King Ying?"

"I didn't say that..." Wen Ming hurriedly denied it, and knew that he had said the wrong thing in a hurry.

But others did not give him the chance to deny it: "Everyone has heard about the matter in Xiyou Town. More than 100 people died due to the explosion that day, and many of them have not yet identified their identity. If the King of England is really in it, the consequences would be serious."

"Yes, according to time, it was the time when the King of England was about to arrive near Luoyang. He was probably really suffering in the explosion as Master Wen conjectured."

"More importantly, as far as we know, this matter was arranged by the traitor of the Luotian Sect, and the matter of King Ying being the New Lord of the Great Yue was promoted as early as one month ago, so they might have made this arrangement deliberately to disrupt my court!"

These people followed the trend and decided on the matter one by one, asserting that the King of England had died in this situation, and then they all looked at Tang Qianwen. The latter understood and showed a deep pain on his face. Finally, they concluded: "If this is true, it is really a great misfortune for the Dayue court. However, the blessing in this misfortune is that at least today, the new king has not yet truly ascended the throne. We can change the statement to the people of the world, that is, the candidate for the new king is not the King of England who has died, but someone else."

Speaking of this, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Prince Huai Sunpu, who was sitting at the top and had not spoken, "Your Highness, I wonder what you think about this?"

King Huai seemed particularly silent today. Even though so many people quarreled in front of him, he didn't make much noise. Until they were asked directly by them, he said in a deep voice: "It would be so unfortunate if this is true. But the court is the most important thing, and this matter must not be promoted. If it is absolutely necessary, he can only choose others as the new king."

Tang Qianwen and the others wanted this sentence, and immediately asked again: "With the view of King Huai, who among the sons of the late emperor can take on this important task?"

Do you need to ask more questions? Obviously, the answer was already presented at the beginning, and only Yongwang Sun Lin had the ability to sit on the throne. This is hard to deny even if King Huai was silent, so he slowly said: "Yongwang should be the most suitable candidate for the new monarch!"

This is enough. Tang Qianwen and others all claimed good. Their goal has been achieved, and now there is only one last step left: "King Huai, the prime minister of the king. The current situation can no longer tolerate us being able to pin our hopes on King Ying. So in my opinion, it is better to officially make King Yong the new king!"

"The officials and others will also discuss it!" For a moment, more people spoke and stepped forward to express their opinions. There were more and more people who stood up this time than those who supported King Yong on the first day of the first day of the Chu Dynasty.

As for the British Kings, they did not make any noise at this time, and even a mainstay like Wen Ming did not jump out to oppose it. The current situation was too unfavorable, and they suspected that no, it should be said that it was 80% possible, and they were already convinced that the British King was really in Xiyou Town.

Otherwise, how could such an unprecedented chaos happen in this town? Moreover, Your Highness has no further contact since then, and it is obvious that something happened!

When the real backbone may have died under the conspiracy of the opponent, even if there are any officials who insist on it, it is difficult to speak out again, especially when the matter has been revealed.

Now that they struggle again, it will lay huge hidden dangers for themselves. When tomorrow, King Yong officially succeeds to the throne as the new king, their fate will inevitably be extremely miserable.

Even Wen Ming had to consider himself and his family at this time, and he had to choose to remain silent.

The silence of the British Kings party further increased the arrogance of the Yongwang party. They made their statements more and more unscrupulously, pestering King Huai, asking him to announce the change of King Yong as the new king: "King Huai, now the facts are in front of you, please announce them in public."

"Yes, King Huai, everything should be put first. Let the rest of the matter be settled after tomorrow!"

"King Huai..."

At this moment, countless pairs of eyes in the hall stared at Prince Huai Sunpu's face, giving him a lot of pressure. But he seemed to feel nothing, and he still looked back at everyone calmly. After a while, he said: "I can naturally understand your heart, but this candidate for the throne cannot be changed at will."

"But..." Tang Qianwen wanted to say something, but was interrupted by King Huai's hand: "Your concerns all make sense, but in the end it is not enough to make the court violate the will of the late emperor and establish another king. Yes, His Majesty has not appeared yet, and it is indeed very likely that he had encountered an unexpected accident on the way here, but these are still just speculations. Even what happened in Xiyou Town, we still don't know. Unless the body of the King of England can be found, this matter cannot be changed."

Although he did not have much fluctuation in his tone when he said this, his resolute attitude quickly accepted it. The momentum that was directly overwhelming the audience also made Tang Qianwen and others unable to say anything to refute for a while.

After a while, he whispered: "Then just drag it like this? Tomorrow..."

"At the funeral tomorrow, if His Majesty still cannot show up and fulfill the duties of a new king and a son, then I will follow your suggestions to make the Yong King the new king!" Finally, Sun Pu made his final decision.

Although this statement made everyone a little dissatisfied, it could only accept it in the end. After all, in their opinion, this was actually no different from the recognition that King Yong was appointed as emperor at this time. In the eyes of the Yongwang Party and even many other court officials, Sun Bi could not come back safely. He had already had an accident in Xiyou Town, but I was afraid that he could not even find his body.
