Various battles emerged in the court, but in terms of gaining the most and the most dangerous, it was undoubtedly the battle for the throne. Especially when the emperor was old and his sons were all outstanding in abilities and ambitions, the officials in the court would naturally divide them into several directions in order to gain the merit of following the dragon and thus truly become the best minister.

If a prince can successfully assist him ascend the throne, he will naturally have many benefits, but once he loses, the consequences will be quite serious. Similar things have happened too many times in all dynasties. Those supporters of the prince who ultimately failed have the least consequences, and the new emperor was excluded after the ascension of the throne and eventually became the people on the court; while the most serious ones are that they even have their lives.

Now this scene is repeated in the Great Yue Dynasty. In the eyes of Tang Qianwen and other officials who supported King Yong, their chances of winning this time are actually very high. The prince is over, and his biggest competitor King Ying is far away in Mobei. No other princes are worth worrying about, so the throne must belong to His Highness Yong.

Because of this, they stood up completely without any concern today. Even the priest who could have been outside and achieved remote control through more hidden means was directly involved in battle.

But the result was beyond their expectations. The emperor actually had a plan, and there was a King Huai who was an insider. With a will, they broke their overall plan. At this point, in order to protect themselves and not be unable to gain a foothold in the court after the King of England ascended the throne, they could only try another shot!

Tang Qianwen's reminder was like a spark falling on a haystack, which immediately attracted everyone to question: "What the Prime Minister of Tang said is very true. Now that Your Majesty has passed away, the country cannot be without a king for a day. Even if Your Majesty has a will, the current situation can no longer tolerate us to comply."

"Yes, Your Majesty has passed away and no one will preside over the overall situation in the court. If we really wait until the letter is sent to the northern border and let the King of England come back, how many months will it take? At that time, I'm afraid the world will be in chaos. This is not what we are willing to see."

"That's right, I think the matter is not something that Your Majesty can think of when he issued this last edict. If you are urgently following the power, you can only stop the edict from now on. Moreover, I think that the best thing for His Highness, King Yong, regarding talent, is to be no longer under the King of England. To make him the king is the most beneficial to the country and the people!"

"I thought so too..."

For a moment, these Yongwang Party members jumped out to support Yongwang, hoping to bypass the will and make him the new king. Their momentum was really amazing. Twenty or thirty people immediately made clear their positions, which made Sun Lin, who was already desperate, feel hope again.

But this time, they obviously miscalculated the situation, thinking that with the current momentum, they could still suppress everyone present as before, but forgot that they could do it just now because everyone was not very clear in their hearts, and most of the ministers were a little confused and neutral - after all, things like fighting for the crown prince were ups and downs, and ordinary officials did not want to interfere.

But now it is different. As they speak in this way, both the British King Party, the former prince's people, or the neutral officials have developed prejudice against them. The situation was unclear before, and it would be fine if you rely on the sudden attack to seize the right to speak. Now there are photos of them. If you still want to protect King Yong, that would be too self-righteous.

Moreover, if you have achieved the merit of becoming a dragon, you will be promoted and promoted in the future. Wouldn’t you squeeze me down? This is something that no official can tolerate!

So, opposition arose: "You are so brave. Your Majesty's body is not cold, are you going to resist the order?"

"What are you? Are you going to be unfilial to His Highness Yong? If he really does what you say, even if he takes up the throne of the emperor, the people in the world will not be convinced!"

"That is, His Highness Ying is the heir to the throne designated in the will. He has made contributions to the court and is still safe. How can he change the new king because of your concerns?"

"Although the country cannot be without a king for a day, no one said that the emperor must be in Luoyang and would not leave the capital without a single step! Let's just think that Your Majesty is now in charge of the Northern Expedition. At this time, I will give him a memorial and ask him to come back, which will take not a few days..."

"That's right, I'll report together to ask King Ying, no, please ask Your Majesty to return to Beijing and take charge of the overall situation. As for the affairs of the court during this period, if you have the Lord Wang Xiang and others here, can you really cause any trouble?"

"And King Huai, who also has considerable political experience, can be temporarily regent and handle government affairs. How could all the affairs in the court cause chaos?"

After some opposition and refutation, the Yongwang party was completely powerless, and they could not speak. Originally, they were unreasonable. The emperor's will was here, but they wanted to not follow the new king. Now their reasons were even denied one by one, but they had no courage to argue, so they could only respond silently. Even Tang Qianwen's face turned pale at this time and he didn't dare to speak anymore.

And he felt even more regretful. If he had known this was the result, he would not have wade into this muddy water from the beginning...

King Yong glanced at the officials who were in opposition to his own, but he did not dare to say anything after all. He failed and had no bargaining chips to threaten his ministers.

At this time, Wang Han finally took a step forward and said, "Since you have made a conclusion, let's make a complete decision - from today on, I will have a new king, the King of Ying Sun Bi!" As he said that, he took the lead in reaching the middle of the palace. With his actions, others also understood and followed, and walked to his own position as if he was on a daily basis.

Hundreds of officials stood in the hall in a neat manner, knelt down to the empty imperial throne, and performed the ceremony of three kneelings and nine kowtows: "I will meet your Majesty..."

This kneeling bow was a complete conclusion. Although Sun Bi was not on the scene, the meaning had been conveyed. Moreover, he had always had the etiquette of worshiping from afar. He happened to be in the north, which was the direction of the imperial throne, so the worship of the ministers seemed more reasonable.

After the new king was established, the next step was to mourn the Emperor Daxing. This matter should have been dominated by the new king and arranged personnel, but now Sun Bi is not in the capital, so the matter was arranged by Wang Han and other ministers, as well as the regent of King Huai.

After a long discussion, the relevant matters were settled. The most critical point was to send the late emperor to the tomb. It was also set around February, and the specific date was drafted by the Imperial Heaven Supervision.

This extremely important thing naturally requires a new king. So after some discussion, they decided to send someone north to deliver a letter so that the emperor could quickly return to Luoyang, one was to truly succeed the throne and preside over the court, and the other was to send the late emperor's last journey.

As for comments on the merits and demerits of the temple name of the previous emperor, before Emperor Sun Bi came, the ministers were not good at it, so wait a little longer.

After all this was arranged, even the person who sent the letter was ordered to go north with a meteor, the real funeral was officially held in the palace. So soon, not only did the imperial palace mourn everywhere, but the entire Luoyang city was also covered with mourning. No matter the officials and the people, they had to mourn the late emperor, and all the folk cultural and entertainment activities were completely stopped. As for the ministers, under the arrangement of officials of the Ministry of Rites, they took turns to guard the palace. The princes, as the descendants of the late emperor, were left in front of Sun Yong's coffin and were not allowed to leave at all.

From the ritual point of view, this is naturally to make them fulfill their filial piety as a son, but in the eyes of many sensible people, this is to beware of any more trouble. After all, King Yong is not a good-for-nothing lamp. Who knows whether he will give up after his failure, and whether he will make a desperate bet like the prince, and what will he do when the emperor is in a mess in the court and the palace is in chaos?

As for the prince, he was imprisoned somewhere in the palace and was strictly under the supervision of the imperial guards. At the same time, his accomplices in the capital, such as the Liu brothers, were also taken down and controlled. All their actions were long under the attention of King Yong, so these people naturally could not have escaped.

Now we will just wait for the new emperor Sun Bi to return to Luoyang and truly succeed to the throne, and then he will decide how to deal with this great sinner who killed the monarch and father.

With this busyness and arrangement, this special Lunar New Year's Day is finally coming to an end.

Other places in the palace seemed deep and quiet because of the death of the late emperor. In the past, the palace maids and eunuchs were either busy at the Jinshen Palace or waiting for service, or they returned to their residence silently. Because they were afraid of being blamed, they did not dare to hold the lights when they arrived at the residence and did not dare to make too many sounds. As for other places in the palace, it is naturally not to mention them.

In the Jinshen Hall, the lights are still bright, and the officials who stayed here accompany the princes to continue to pay tribute to the late emperor. They are tired of crying, so they get up and move a little, or go to the toilet to make it easier.

At this time, King Yong came to the toilet, and there was an official with the same gloomy face who entered with him. After entering the toilet, the two quickly checked and confirmed that there was no one else. Then they saw King Yong said in a cold voice: "I will not give up!"

"Your Highness..."

"Listen, this is our only way to save ourselves now. Once we fail, when Sun Bi really returns to the capital, not only me, but you guys will not have a good life. Today, so many people have seen you speak for me and want to resist the order. These will become excuses for Sun Bi to get rid of you at that time."

Sun Lin said with a serious face: "So what I asked you to do is not let him, Sun Bi return to Luoyang, no matter what means he is used, he must be removed! Do you understand what I mean?"

The official's body suddenly shook, and this was a regicide!

However, he understood even more that what Sun Lin said was not false, and this was indeed their only way to save himself. He nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, your highness, I will do my best to block Sun Bi outside the capital!" Fortunately, there is a time limit, so they can really set things calmly and get rid of Sun Bi who rushed back to the capital.

When the new emperor was first established, it seemed that all disputes had subsided, but in fact, the biggest crisis in the Dayue court really began...
