"Uncle Tang…what did Kunlun say?" The first to react was Prince Chu Lie. His eyes were still slightly red. No matter what, Chu Gang was still his biological brother. Even though the family of the emperor was very weak, Chu Gang's generation was not rich. The old king only had two sons, Chu Gang and Chu Lie. The relationship between the two had been relatively harmonious since childhood..

Chu Gang succeeded to the throne as the eldest son after the death of the old king of Chu, and Chu Lie became the prince..

Slowly, there was a difference between monarch and minister, and the relationship gradually drifted apart... Now that his elder brother died suddenly, Chu Lie's sadness is understandable..

Everyone present also looked at this deacon of the Chu royal family. They knew that this person's status was not low. When Chu Gang was alive, he had always respected him..

"It's confirmed! According to the discussions between the imperial physicians and the people of Kunlun, the king was indeed poisoned to death!" As he said this, the sadness in the eyes of this High Priest Tang was secondary. The main thing was the anger hidden in the depths of his eyes, the anger that could not be appeased! Chu Gang was poisoned right under his nose! He was simply audacious and did whatever he wanted! By the time he realized that something was wrong with Chu Wang in the morning, he was already at his wit's end! The poison used by the other party was clearly carefully prepared. At about midnight, Chu Wang suddenly had the poison. From the onset of symptoms to death, it only took half an incense stick to burn. There was no time for people to react at all! In the end, Chu Gang was just a mortal. Without the protection of spiritual energy, deadly poison could easily take his life..

"Damn it!" Hearing this, everyone present was furious and extremely humiliated. The ruler of their country, Chu, had been poisoned so inexplicably. This was outrageous! "Elder Tang, are you sure what kind of poison caused it?" Wang Erzhe suddenly asked, his face as dark as water..

"There's only one type of poison that can kill someone so quickly!" Old Tang paused for a moment."Arsenic!" "Arsenic is under strict control in Chujing. We only need to go down to the various pharmacies to check and we'll find clues!" someone mentioned at that time..

"I already sent someone to investigate this morning. No one has bought arsenic in Chujing recently, and…" Chu Lie's eyes narrowed slightly and he did not continue..

He was able to poison Chu Gang right under the nose of a third realm cultivator. He had done his homework before..

How could you find out so easily? "Elder Tang, did you find out where the poison came from?" Chu Lie continued to ask..

"Arsenic was found in the king's dinner yesterday. It should have been poisoned by ingestion of arsenic!" "How is this possible?" Everyone was shocked..

Generally, the food eaten by the King of Chu would undergo strict screening to ensure that there was no poison before it could be safely handed over to the King of Chu for consumption. Eating poisoned food was too unbelievable! "I've ordered people to investigate. From the time the dinner was prepared in the imperial dining room, delivered to the King of Chu's palace, and then eaten by the King of Chu, all the people involved, including the palace maids who watched the King of Chu eat dinner yesterday, have been arrested and interrogated!" Elder Tang's face became darker and darker..

"Elder Tang is really thoughtful!" At this moment, some officials began to flatter him. Now that Chu King was dead, the most powerful people in Chu were Elder Tang, Prince Chu Lie, and Prime Minister Wang Erzhe..

Therefore, there was definitely nothing wrong with kissing up first! "Humph!" Elder Tang snorted coldly and said,"The most important thing now is that the country cannot be without a king for a day! The people cannot be without a king for a day. Everyone, why don't you discuss how to solve this problem and give the people an explanation!" He was an immortal, and his mission was to protect the Chu Wang family. As for Chu, there was no need to care…However, Chu Gang had been killed right under his nose. At this moment, his heart was filled with guilt towards the old king. Seeing this group of officials crying and fawning, he felt a little disappointed. He could not help but remind him..

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes could not help but look at Prince Chu Lie, who was standing at the front of the crowd..

Chu Gang died, and did not leave a posthumous edict, it should be said that the crown prince succeeded to the throne.

But will this one do it? Chu Lie was Chu Gang's younger brother and held the military power of Chu. If he wanted to sit in that position… Everyone quickly lowered their heads, not daring to continue thinking..

There were more than ten people gathered in this room. Other than those three, all of them were second-grade officials of Chu. This was equivalent to those at the highest level of Chu. The result of their discussion was naturally the final result! "There's no need to discuss this matter!" Chu Lie waved his hand without thinking."King Chu is dead, and there's a Crown Prince. Naturally, the Crown Prince will take the throne! Is there any other choice?" Everyone looks at me, I look at you, they don't know how to connect.

Although the person concerned had said so, it was definitely impossible for him to come out and answer the question. Perhaps he was just being modest for a moment… After that, everyone turned their attention to Wang Erzhe. Although this Prime Minister was only in his fifties, he had already experienced two emperors of Chu. It would not be long before he would become a senior official of three dynasties! Everyone could not ignore his words. Some of the second-grade officials present were promoted by him! "This old minister thinks…" Wang Erzhe narrowed his eyes and glanced at Chu Lie. Finally, he said,"What the Prince said is reasonable. The King of Chu is dead. The Crown Prince's accession to the throne is both a natural order and a law of Chu. It cannot be changed without authorization!" Agreed? Seeing this, everyone quickly reconsidered..

They all felt that Chu Gang was dead, and Chu Hua's succession was fine..

"The kingdom cannot be without a king for a day. The news of the king's death has been announced to the world, and the people are looking forward to it..

This old minister believes that this matter cannot be delayed. We need to choose an auspicious day as soon as possible so that the crown prince can ascend to the throne!"Wang Erzhe continued..

The crowd whispered to each other and said yes..

：.

： Anyway, the two people with the highest power in the seat have already expressed their opinions. No one will care about their opinions anymore..

But one of them didn't think so..

Standing in the middle of the crowd, a middle-aged man wearing a black veil stared at Chu Lie in front of him for a few times, his eyes mixed with an inexplicable meaning..

He was the Prefect of Jingdu, Jiang Wuyan! That's Jiang Tong's father..

Yesterday, Jiang Tong attended the birthday banquet of the Crown Prince and came back with earth-shattering news! The Crown Prince executed the daughter of the Prime Minister on the spot in the Prince's Mansion! Of course, it was the kind of execution that would be done on the spot, not directly killing… When Jiang Wuyan heard this news, he was so shocked that he directly gave Jiang Tong a beating. He directly beat Jiang Tong until he was in seclusion in his room and did not dare to come out..

How could he, the little governor of Jingdou, withstand such a high critical hit when he talked about the Crown Prince and the Prime Minister's daughter behind his back?.

But he knew.

This son of his was quite capable. He was always accurate when it came to finding information! Therefore, it was very likely that Wang Shishi had really been given something by the Crown Prince! Moreover, it was in the Prince's residence! Chu Lie and Wang Erzhe must be aware of this matter! But why did these two choose to let Crown Prince Chu Hua succeed to the throne? Could it be that…they had already discussed how to work together to overthrow Chu Hua, who had just taken office? In fact, even if Chu Hua ascended the throne, if he did not find a backer, he would soon be overtaken by Chu Lie and Wang Erzhe. This was something that could be seen..

However, no one would say it openly. After all, Chu Gang had a high reputation in the hearts of the people. If Chu Hua's throne was taken away for some reason, the people would probably not agree! But…did Wang Erzhe really think so? Would he go along with the flow and marry his daughter to the Crown Prince, who would then ascend the throne and become the King of Chu's father-in-law? Because things had already happened, Wang Shishi's dream of marrying the Crown Prince had been ruthlessly shattered. Why not switch to the Crown Prince…No, it should be said that the new King Chuhua who obeyed the heavens and the people! In this case, unless Chu Lie rebelled, Wang Erzhe would have the final say in Chu from now on! Good old fox! That was what Jiang Wuyan thought, but he remained silent..

Just as everyone was thinking about it, Old Tang suddenly spoke..

"I feel that this matter is inappropriate!" Everyone's attention was attracted once again, because no one expected that the guardian of the royal family would suddenly speak at this time..

Wang Erzhe frowned and asked,"What advice does Tang Lao have? May I ask?".

” Elder Tang seemed to have thought of something. His eyes revealed an inexplicable expression."I think the Crown Prince is only twenty years old. He is too young. We can't let him handle government affairs alone at this time. Otherwise…it will inevitably lead to the country's failure!" What he said was already quite serious. It would harm the country! This was an invisible crime! However, everyone thought about it and realized that Elder Tang's words were not without reason. The Crown Prince had always had a bad reputation and would not usually help the King of Chu handle government affairs. The King of Chu hated iron for not being able to do anything! It was a big matter to ascend the throne as the King of Chu. Could this Crown Prince Chu Hua…be competent? "Old Tang, you're wrong! No one is born to be a king. I've been in power for three generations. The king also took office when the former king was in critical condition. In just a few decades, he can still rule Chu in order. Why don't we give the crown prince a chance?" Wang Erzhe said indifferently..

The darkness in Elder Tang's eyes deepened. He turned around and asked Chu Lie,"What do you think, Prince?" Chu Lie nodded."I think Prime Minister Wang is right. Chu Hua is my nephew after all. Once Brother Wang dies, I hope that Chu Hua can inherit his legacy and govern Chu well. He will not disappoint Brother Wang!" What's up, man? "What does Chu Lie mean?" Jiang Wuyan was confused. Old Tang was obviously speaking to him. Why did he refuse? Did he really not want to be the king of Chu? You're great? You're aloof? You're so sure you'll hand Chu over to Chu Hua? However, he remained silent. Only the three big shots in front could make a decision now..

From the looks of it, the opinions of the three seem to have diverged..

That Elder Tang obviously did not want to see Chu Hua succeed to the throne. He directly said that he might lose the country and wanted Chu Lie to take over this responsibility..

However, Chu Lie and Wang Erzhe chose to believe Chu Hua and let him succeed to the throne! That's a bit of a thought!:
