One hundred and twenty second chapter tearing skin
The death of the prince inevitably spread in Chang'an City, and together with the edict of sin, it was posted in various cities and towns in Chang'an City for people to see.
So Chang'an completely exploded and turned into a pot of chaos.
Some people think that Queen Zhou should bear the main responsibility for the death of the prince. It is simply Queen Zhou who killed the prince and made him bear the blame and die in peace.
Others feel that even if Queen Zhou is in the driver's seat, the prince's collusion with others is not a good thing and should be expelled from the ancestral temple and demoted to a commoner.
Various rumors and rumors arose in Chang'an, causing huge turmoil. Some local heroes even united to demonstrate against Queen Zhou, and even directly broke into the palace. Although they were killed by the imperial army, this was already happening in Chang'an City. A seed was planted in the heart of an already fragile person.
If there is any disturbance, this seed may grow into a towering tree!
Of course, all of this has something to do with Ye Qing.
Although Li Chengxu's death was unexpected by Ye Qing, it was obvious that Ye Qing had found a second bargaining chip to make King Wu leave Chang'an, or even to break up with Queen Zhou.
That is, after the prince dies, who will supervise the country?
Li Tianhe's body is getting worse day by day, and the toxins accumulated in his body, even Ye Qing can only say that he can't do anything about it, and at most he can extend Li Tianhe's life for a few years, so the next position of the East Palace should be handed over to him. to whom?
When Li Tianhe was young, he was a voluptuous man and did many ridiculous things. Including the two direct princes, Li Chengxu who died, and Li Chengling who had no one to raise him long ago and turned into a monster, there were still thirty-six concubine princes. It can be said that now, each of them is qualified to sit in the East Palace.
Although ability is one aspect, it is not the most important aspect.
After all, the hundreds of courtiers in the court are much better at governing the country than these pink newcomers. To put it bluntly, the position of the East Palace is meant to stabilize people's hearts. It is a mascot. With or without her, Li Tang is still the same Li Tang.
However, although the selection of the prince is the icing on the cake, it is also an indispensable part. Otherwise, once people's hearts are shaken, it will be the straw that breaks the camel's back.
Therefore, Li Tian and all the princes were put on the table, like puppies for sale, for you to choose from.
After excluding the nine who were too young and the dozen who were revealed to be useless sons from beginning to end, there were only seven people left.
Of course, there are only four candidates who have been hotly debated.
The oldest and most powerful King of Wu, Li Chengren.
Su Wang Li Chengzhi is the most powerful, brave and good at fighting.
Li Chenglei, the king of Hunan, has the best reputation and has many good relationships.
And although he is the youngest and the most seductive, his character, methods, and even appearance are exactly the same as Li Tianhe's when he was young.
These four people have undoubtedly become the strongest competitors in the East Palace.
So even though Chang'an was closed during this period, the news inevitably reached the ears of several princes. Regardless of whether they competed for the crown prince's position intentionally or unintentionally, they had to return to Chang'an.
As for Queen Zhou, perhaps she was still shocked and unable to extricate herself from the sadness of Li Chengxu's death, or she understood that she no longer had the right to decide the candidates for the East Palace, so she rarely spoke out.
Thus, a war without gunpowder about the candidates for the East Palace has officially begun!
As for the one with the loudest voice, Ye Qing was a little surprised. He was not King Wu, nor King Su, nor even King Xiang. He was actually the youngest King Jin, who was only fourteen years old!
But thinking about it, Li Tianhe made public remarks more than once before his body collapsed and before he took the position in the East Palace, so Jin Wang Leizhen made such remarks, so with such high support, it is no exception.
But the most troublesome thing for Ye Qing is that the one with the least support is King Wu. Even King Xiang, who is so effeminate, has more supporters than King Wu.
But thinking about it, it's understandable that something like this happened a while ago, and it's a bit bleak.
After Li Chengxu died, Ye Qing met King Wu again. It could be seen from his expression that King Wu seemed very sad about this incident.
I'm afraid no one knows Li Chengxu's character better than King Wu, so he doesn't believe in anything like the Edict of Sin and the like. He firmly believes that Queen Zhou forced Li Chengxu to death. Ye Qing had no choice but to comfort him.
At present, although the threat from Queen Zhou has not yet come into contact, the death of Li Chengxu has indeed brought about too many changes. It cannot be argued about in a year or two. Ye Qing does not intend to stay in the Li Tang Empire for too long, leaving Wu
Wang left the marrow shaping pill and a few life-extending pills for Li Tianhe, and then planned to leave.
Although Ye Qing was a little unwilling to stay in the Li Tang Empire for so long, the end result was an anticlimax and a hasty end. However, if Li Tianhe did not die, the national destiny of the Li Tang Empire would never decline. Empress Zhou's goal of getting involved in the national destiny of Li Tang was
It was impossible to achieve, Empress Zhou couldn't be in a hurry, and Ye Qing couldn't be in a hurry. All he could do now was leave.
Fortunately, Tianshui has been helping Ye Qing to collect news about the Li Tang Empire, so that he will not be blinded and do not know anything. In addition, Governor Lin also stayed in Chang'an and in Prince Wu's Mansion, while providing support to the Qingfeng Empire.
Deliver news and take care of a person on the one hand.
This person made Ye Qing very concerned.
"I may...leave the Li Tang Empire soon."
In Prince Wu's Mansion, Ye Qing sat on a chair, pinching his eyebrows, feeling a little at a loss.
"Are you going to stay in Chang'an or go to Qingfeng Empire?"
Ye Qing raised his head and met Li Yuechan's eyes. The latter remained silent for a long time and still didn't say a word, but unknowingly, his eyes were red.
"It doesn't matter if you stay here, from now on, you can make your own decisions no matter what."
"Can't you stay here?"
"I still have things to do, and I can't stop here."
Ye Qing sighed softly and shook his head helplessly.
Look for the opportunity to break through the Hongmeng Supreme Body, completely complete the refining of the Demon Emperor's Seal, find a way to break through the shackles of the realm, find a way to awaken the spirit of the Jiuzhou Mountains and Rivers Cauldron, welcome the arrival of the tide, and be wary of revenge from the upper world, what Ye Qing must do
There were too many things going on, and he was unwilling and unable to stop here.
"If you leave, I will marry someone else and hide in a place where you will never find me!"
"You dare!"
Ye Qing stood up with a cold snort, pulled Li Yuechan's arm, and kissed her. Li Yuechan immediately blushed and twisted the corners of her skirt with her fingertips. Ye Qing turned around, waved, and left.
"No matter where you go, if you get married before I come back, I will kill your brother!"
Ye Qing left anyway, leaving Chang'an City on the seventh day after Li Chengxu committed suicide.
