"Why did King Xuan ascend the throne instead of King Qing? Both of his direct descendants are King Qing. It should be King Qing who is most suitable for this throne."
"Yes, since ancient times, most of the successors are the direct eldest son. King Xuan is neither the direct eldest son nor the eldest son. It would be unreasonable for him to inherit the throne."
"This is the late emperor's edict!"
"King Qing also has a legacy!"
People from both sides started quarreling with each other, and no one gave in to the other. Soon, the outside of the main hall became as lively as a vegetable market.
Everyone seems to have forgotten to find out how the late emperor died.
"Do you want to mention the throne at this juncture?" Prince Qing sighed patiently: "Prince Xuan, you are too impatient!"
Chu Xuanzhi said in a deep voice: "The war at the border should not be delayed. If we delay for one more day, there will be countless casualties. If there is no king for one day, the morale of the army will be unstable."
"You are not the only one who understands things on the battlefield. If you really care about the people, you can directly lead the troops to the front line instead of staying in the palace and fussing over things. If you go a day earlier, with your reputation as the God of War, you will be able to go to the front line earlier.
Defeat the enemy in one day."
King Qing felt that Chu Xuanzhi should not mention the matter of ascending the throne rashly.
No matter from which aspect, Chu Xuanzhi is only suitable to be a minister, not an emperor.
Chu Xuanzhi raised his eyebrows and squinted at King Qing.
"When does King Xuan plan to go on an expedition?" A minister received King Qing's signal and asked: "You are the war god prince with great military achievements. If you were to go out, it would be like the late emperor summoning you to the palace a few months ago, but you just refused to enter the palace.
, secretly led his troops to Tongzhou City..."
Before the minister could finish speaking, he was frightened by Chu Xuanzhi's sharp words and took two steps back. Then he stepped forward bravely: "As King Qing said, you shouldn't waste time here.
You should return to the battlefield as soon as possible to protect Lingzhou and the country."
"This throne should be inherited by King Qing, so why do you have to fight for it? King Qing is unparalleled in wisdom and has a kind heart. If King Qing ascends the throne, the people will be able to have food and clothing without worries."
"Nonsense, King Xuan's prestige within and outside the court should not be underestimated. If King Xuan ascends the throne, he will win the hearts of the people and it will inspire the morale of the military!"
"That's right, King Xuan is capable of both civil and martial arts. If King Xuan hadn't been fighting everywhere these years, how could the surrounding countries submit to Lingzhou?"
The two parties quarreled again.
Chu Xuanzhi looked at King Qing with a fierce aura. He took a step forward and said, "Where is King Qing's edict? If you have any edict, I will give up the throne and be willing to bow my head and serve as a minister for the rest of my life."
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding area fell silent.
Everyone's eyes fell on Prince Qing.
King Qing only heard about the posthumous edict. Some people doubted the life experience of Emperor Lingzhou, so two posthumous edicts were issued. The heirs were King Qing and King Xuan respectively.
King Qing's face was tense. If he could produce the imperial edict, he would have ascended the throne as emperor long ago. Why would he wait until now?
"So King Xuan has a posthumous edict?" King Qing asked back. In fact, his palms were covered in fine sweat.
Nervous and apprehensive.
He and King Xuan have been brothers for many years, and they know that Chu Xuanzhi is not an impetuous person. Anyone who dares to reveal this matter today must be fully confident.
Therefore, King Qing felt unsure.
Chu Xuanzhi shook his head: "My father did leave a legacy for me, but I don't have it yet. If King Qing has a legacy, I will give way to my elder brother."
This question left King Qing speechless.
"It's not good, it's not good, the Queen Mother fainted." Nanny Li was frightened and rushed towards Prince Qing. Her face was pale: "Your Majesty, please go and see the Queen Mother quickly. The Queen Mother's symptoms and
Several of the little eunuchs guarding the funeral are exactly the same."
Prince Qing's heart sank, and he turned back to look at Chu Xuuzhi, and said in a deep voice: "If the Queen Mother was the murderer behind the scenes, how could she be poisoned? King Xuan, don't let outsiders deceive you, the Queen Mother is also your legitimate mother!"
After saying that, King Qing walked away without giving Chu Xuanzhi a chance to explain.
The Queen Mother was indeed poisoned. She lay on the bed vomiting blood, her face was ashen, and she was almost speechless when she saw Prince Qing coming.
"Your Majesty, what's going on, Queen Mother?" Princess Qing was waiting at the side in a plain dress. She looked at Prince Qing at a loss, and the flash of panic in her eyes disappeared.
