Journey to the West: Moral Heaven

Therefore, if the situation develops according to its course, Empress Wei has no possibility of becoming emperor at all. Only by killing the emperor, taking a risky gamble, catching the court by surprise, and coercing the young emperor into the court to proclaim the system, can there be a chance to quickly establish authority.

In the eyes of later generations, this is very unreliable, but as a person in the game, he has long been greedy for profit, so how can he see it clearly?

It seems that gamblers are not unaware of the principle of betting out of ten bets and losing nine times, but they still hope that they can win all their previous losses with a single game of Stud.

Empress Wei's mentality is the most authentic gambler's mentality. Besides, in this world, there is the Madonna of Wudang standing behind her. Maybe if you fight hard, you will have a bright future.

In short, Chen E absolutely did not believe that Li Xian drowned naturally.

"Where was the queen on the night of the incident?"

Chen E asked.

Li Lingyue said: "Many people have proved that the queen was not present when the incident happened."

Chen E shook her head and said, "You don't have to do this kind of thing yourself, one or two dead men with extraordinary skills is enough."

Li Dan pondered and said: "Chen Zhuangyuan's words are reasonable, but our guessing here is useless. Now I invite Chen Zhuangyuan to accompany my brothers and sisters into the palace to express condolences to the emperor."

Chen E cupped her hands and said, "Naturally, it is what it should be."

"Chen Zhuangyuan has been wronged for the time being."

Li Lingyue smiled faintly and waved to Nian Nian.

A servant came over with three sets of mourning clothes.

They were all white linen clothes, two sets with hats and uneven corners, they were prepared for Li Lingyue brothers and sisters, and the other set was just ordinary linen clothes that could be draped over the outside, and this set was given to Chen E.

Brothers Chen E and Li Lingyue got dressed and left in a hurry.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

In the Daming Palace, there was a gloomy cloud and mist. The sudden sudden death of the emperor cast an uneasy atmosphere on the entire palace. Under the sad faces of every eunuch and maid, fear was hidden.

After all, there was turmoil in the palace, and they were the most direct victims.

Li Xian's coffin was parked in Hanyuan Hall.

In the center of the spacious hall, a purple-red coffin was parked, and there were rows of important court officials kneeling on both sides. Empress Wei, Princess Anle, and Prince Li Chongmao were wearing hemp belts and crying loudly.

Chen E didn't go in, but just stood outside the hall, because according to the rules, one has to kowtow to Li Xian when entering the hall, he is not a pedantic person, kowtowing is nothing, but Li Xian may not be able to bear it if he is asked to kowtow to Li Xian Come on, I'm afraid I will jump out of the coffin in shock.

Seeing Li Dan and Li Lingyue coming in, Empress Wei's cries suddenly increased, and she howled: "My lord, my lord, why did you leave so suddenly, what should we do if we are left as orphans and widows? Chongmao is still young, he How can I take on such a heavy burden!"

A gloomy look flashed in Li Lingyue's eyes, but she and Li Dan respectfully kowtowed to Li Xian, and softly persuaded, "May the emperor's wife express her condolences by the way."

"woooooo"

Empress Wei wiped her tears and said: "The Holy Majesty died for no reason, leaving me orphans and widowed mothers, helpless, and I am worried that one day, something will happen to the crown prince. I am afraid that it happens to coincide with the prince Young and incapable of governing the country, please ask the king to succeed the emperor before the Holy Spirit, so as not to cause turmoil in the country!"

In Li Dan's eyes, there was a flash of murderous intent!

Even though he was a nice guy, he almost lost his temper.

The emperor died for no apparent reason, and the queen was worried that her youngest son would be harmed, so she was forced to give up the throne to herself. You are the murderer.

Moreover, Li Chongmao is a crown prince with a great reputation and righteousness. If he really desperately snatched his nephew's throne, what would the world think?

This is setting yourself on fire!

At the same time, Empress Wei also forced herself to express her position in front of Li Xianling in front of many courtiers. Since then, Li Chongmao's throne will be stable if he does not succeed the emperor, and Li Chongmao is young. Empress Wei can be in power for at least ten years. During these ten years , It is entirely possible to follow the old path of Empress Wu.

What a vicious woman!

What a thoughtful thought!

Rationally speaking, Li Dan knew that he should resign, but he was not reconciled to handing over the country to Queen Wei.

At this time, Li Lingyue said: "Whether the emperor drowned or was murdered by an adulterer has not yet been determined, how can the queen make such a statement? The most urgent thing is to ask the crown prince to succeed to the throne in order to reassure the hearts of the world."

Li Dan also realized that Li Lingyue's subtext was to stabilize the situation first before settling accounts after the autumn. He quickly knelt down and said respectfully, "Sister-in-law, don't kill me, and I invite the crown prince to succeed me!"

"The country cannot be without a master for a day, please let the prince succeed the emperor!"

The officials also knelt down to persuade them to enter.

"Your family understands righteousness, and the late emperor must have had the same heart. This palace is very comforting, come here, and take the prince to change clothes!"

Wei Hou raised his airs, turned around and shouted.

"promise!"

Several eunuchs and palace maids took Li Chongmao to the back hall. Taking advantage of the time, Empress Wei had already drawn up a posthumous title for Li Xian.

Standing outside, Chen E also scanned Li Xian's body with his spiritual sense. There were no bruises on his neck, and there was still fluid in his lungs that had not yet been discharged. At first glance, he was indeed drowned. If you put your head in the water, you can also drown him without leaving any marks on your body.

It seems that we have to find the parties to find out the situation.

Now that Li Chongmao has confirmed his succession, and there is no clue for the time being, the worst case scenario is nothing more than Wei Empress proclaiming the imperial court. Chen E knew that he couldn't bear it, so he found a place where there was no one, and went to Ziwei Tiangong in a flash. .

Seeing Emperor Ziwei, Chen E didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly: "Excuse me, Emperor, have you ever invited Zhongzong?"

"This"

Emperor Ziwei showed a slight embarrassment.

Li Xian passed away last night. As his grandson, he had a blood connection, but Emperor Ziwei didn't intend to seduce Li Xian at all. The main reason was that Li Xian was too mediocre and incompetent. Show reincarnation.

"Oh?"

Emperor Ziwei immediately said in surprise: "My grandson has died?"

Chen E shook his head secretly, he could clearly see Emperor Ziwei's embarrassment at that moment, but he didn't point it out, telling the whole story.

"There is such a thing? That poisonous woman dared to murder my grandson?"

After listening, Emperor Ziwei's face darkened.

Chen E said: "Although the death of Zhongzong is not doubtful on the surface, it is better to find out. If the emperor is not busy, please go to the underworld with his ministers to find Zhongzong's soul and ask him face to face."

"It's not too late, I'm going with Aiqing!"

Emperor Ziwei nodded and left with Chen E.

"Damn!"

Covering her breath with a secret method, the Holy Mother of Wudang who followed Chen E all the way saw Chen E and Emperor Ziwei leave, and couldn't help cursing secretly.
