The Demon Fox Wife is a Foodie/
Chapter 104 Chaos
In fact, logically speaking, Elder Tang's mission was only to protect Chu King's safety. He should not have participated in Chu's political affairs. Why did Elder Tang, who had never spoken before, suddenly make a fuss this time and want to stop Chu Hua from ascending the throne? It's not just Jiang Wuyan, everyone's heart is actually confused.
"Actually, I didn't mean to prevent Chu Hua from ascending the throne..
Old Tang did not panic at all. He said," I just think that Chu Hua is still too young. To suddenly take over the entire country, he will always be a little powerless! Chu is already in chaos when Chu King dies. If he does not perform well enough, the chaos in Chu will continue. Is this what you princes and ministers want to see?" " Then, according to Elder Tang, what should we do?" Wang Erzhe asked..
" My suggestion…Chu Hua's accession to the throne is fine, but he can't decide on the important matters of national politics after he ascended the throne. You two need to personally review them before making decisions. Only when that child truly has the qualifications of an emperor can you hand over the throne to him with confidence!" Hearing this, everyone nodded. They felt that what Elder Tang said was not unreasonable..
The current Crown Prince Chu Hua was too young. Even when Chu Gang ascended the throne, he was still in his thirties. The current Chu Hua was only in his twenties. It was too difficult for him to be the king! " This…" Chu Lie thought for a moment and looked at Wang Erzhe..
" I think this is a good idea. I hope the Crown Prince can understand it!" Wang Erzhe nodded..
Chu Hua still ascended the throne as King Chu, but his power was divided into three parts. It was not as powerful as Chu Gang's words…However, even if his power was not dispersed, Chu Hua alone probably would not be able to hold power firmly in his hands..
" That's good. As for other matters, I won't interrupt. The Prince and the Prime Minister will arrange it!" Elder Tang nodded." I still have to investigate the cause of the King's death. I'll take my leave first!" After Elder Tang left, Chu Lie said to Wang Erzhe," Prime Minister Wang, you are the head of the civil officials. Before the Crown Prince ascends to the throne, I will trouble you to handle the state affairs and issue the court orders. A certain generation of martial artists in Chu will not show off their skills here!" Prime Minister Wang did not refuse." Then I will temporarily issue the order on behalf of King Chu! The most important thing now is the crown prince's accession to the throne. Where is Minister Zhang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs?" A person walked out of the crowd and cupped his fists." I'm here!" " Chu does not have a Ministry of Rites. Your Ministry of Civil Affairs is usually responsible for the crown prince's accession to the throne. You are equivalent to drafting a memorial related to the crown prince's accession within three days. The prince and I will review it together!" "I accept your orders!" "Minister Wu of the Ministry of Justice, Lord Jiang, the governor of Jingdu!" With Wang Erzhe's order, the two men walked out of the crowd again and responded..
" Honored Minister Tang is currently investigating the matter of the King's murder. I guess this matter might not be done by someone from the mountains. We need to investigate it ourselves! Minister Wu, your Ministry of Justice will be in charge of the palace. Work with Old Tang to investigate. The King died inside the palace. There must be something wrong here. You should investigate carefully and seek justice for the people of Chu!" "Lord Jiang, outside the palace, your Jingdu Prefecture will be in charge. Coordinate with the lords of Kunlun to investigate..
Moreover, now that King Chu is dead, the people in the city are in urgent need of comfort. You can settle this matter. Don't let people lose heart!" " Lord Wen, after the Crown Prince's accession day is decided, quickly send someone to inform the city lords of Chu to arrive at Chu Capital before the accession day! If they dare not come, they will be punished as traitors. Hand over the name list to the Prince for him to deal with!" " There's also the funeral of King Chu, Minister Zhou of Revenue…" Wang Erzhe is indeed an elder of the three dynasties. He gave orders one after another, displaying excellent decision-making ability! The ministers did not dare to neglect and acted upon orders one after another!" Everything seemed to be proceeding in an orderly manner… …… "Xiao Qi!" Liu Yueqi's eyes lit up. Looking at Sister Xiaobai, who was dressed in a "childhood" outfit, she felt that her memory was a little confused..
Bai Yeqing's face was slightly red. She was wearing a knee-length skirt. Her smooth calves shook twice before she stood on the ground and turned twice. As her skirt fluttered, there was indeed a trace of the flavor Liu Yueqi remembered..
"It's just…" Liu Yueqi touched her chin and glanced at Bai Yeqing's bulging chest..
" Yes, it looks good, but this chest needs to be tied up. Otherwise, I feel that it doesn't fit…Unfortunately, Qing 'er doesn't want to wear it. Otherwise, this outfit would fit her perfectly!" Compared to Bai Yeqing, Qing 'er had a petite figure and looked lively. She exuded a youthful aura. Wearing this outfit would definitely be like returning to her high school days! After all, Qing 'er appeared to be only sixteen years old, and that was the age to play in school..
Of course, it wasn't that Bai Yeqing looked very old, but…from her figure, she would appear relatively mature. In addition, her personality was more lazy and she was not as active as Qing 'er..
Therefore, she was not used to this outfit… Liu Yueqi thought about it. With Sister Xiaobai's figure, wearing a qipao should be quite suitable... However, she didn't have to design a qipao. She could order it at Cloud Rainbow Pavilion in Chujing. Liu Yueqi just wanted to see the items from her past world and treat them as memories! Liu Yueqi had a deep memory of this set of clothes from the "young era." The white shirt and short skirt depicted the youth of their generation and the yearning of their generation..
: Liu Yueqi didn't have a deep impression of the others either..
" Xiao Qi, the clothes you gave me to try on are all so strange…Besides, although I don't know much, it's inappropriate for a mortal to wear clothes that are not fully clothed…Can these clothes really be worn out?" " Of course not!" Liu Yueqi smiled and said," If Sister Xiao Bai goes out dressed like this, she'll definitely be arrested and sent to a brothel! However, it's okay to wear it for our own family to see... For example, I think Sister Xiao Bai looks very good in this dress. My taste is different from those people outside..." Bai Yeqing's eyes lit up." Then since Xiao Qi likes it, I'll secretly wear it for Xiao Qi to see!" Liu Yueqi wanted to praise her, but she continued..
" Also, although it's strange to wear this, it's also very convenient to be close to Xiao Qi. You don't even have to take off your clothes…" “……” Liu Yueqi covered her face." Sister Xiao Bai, I see that your bones are extraordinary. Your comprehension is off the charts. There are some things that you don't even need me to teach you. You can learn them yourself!" However, could he not say this openly? It would make me feel like I had specially gotten a set of clothes, something like a pervert… …… Time soon arrived at night. It had already been an afternoon since Qing 'er left, and she was still not back..
Liu Yueqi couldn't help but worry. Could something have happened? Then he shook his head again.
Sending Qing 'er out of the city was already the safest method. Qing' er was more flexible and had strong escape and hiding abilities. She should not be caught..
Since the news of King Chu's death was sent out from Jingdou Prefecture, it naturally spread to all the cities of Chu very quickly. In fact, in just a day, the neighboring Yan Kingdom might have already learned of this news..
However, Chu has never had any disputes with its neighbors for hundreds of years since its founding. It has always been peaceful..
Therefore, even if the King of Chu dies suddenly, there should not be any major external invasion or anything..
Liu Yueqi didn't go out the whole afternoon. However, she heard from the servants that there were many people making trouble on the streets outside. Some of them might not be able to accept the fact that Chu Gang died for no reason, while others might have ulterior motives. No one knew what their specific purpose was..
Liu Yueqi was worried about Chu Jing's chaos. However, at least there was no real war. He was satisfied as long as he and the people he cared about were safe. As for who was the king of Chu, he didn't care much..
However, based on their current interactions, Prince Chu Yun was more suitable to be the king than Crown Prince Chu Hua…It should be said that both of them were only in their early twenties, and letting Prince Chu Lie be the king was the best plan. However, this way, it would be no different from seizing the throne. With Chu Gang's status in the hearts of the common people, he would probably attract the suspicion of the common people! The Jingdu Prefecture had already sent out many people to prevent this chaos from continuing. They could even catch a few waves of organized trouble, which made people think deeply… Finally, Qing 'er came back when Liu Yueqi had already fallen asleep at midnight! Liu Yueqi had no choice but to face it! He seemed to be targeted! …… Late at night, Wang Erzhe, who had been busy all day, walked out of the Zhenghe Hall of the Chu Royal Palace under the guidance of his guards. That was where the King of Chu usually held court meetings and handled government affairs. The royal study was inside..
Chu Gang was famous for his diligence before his death. The court meeting was basically held every day, and the number of breaks was very small..
Chu was now prosperous and peaceful. Half of it was Chu Gang's credit! After Wang Erzhe went out, he turned around and looked at the huge plaque in Zhenghe Hall. He was slightly absent-minded for a moment..
" Where's the Crown Prince?" Wang Erzhe asked a chamberlain in front of him..
Chu Gang did not recruit concubines, so there was no harem in the Chu Palace. Besides the internal guards responsible for the safety of the palace, there were also attendants and palace maids. There were no eunuchs..
It is said that there was one in the past. Chu Gang was abolished after he ascended the throne..
Without concubines in the harem, the existence of eunuchs seems meaningless..
"The Crown Prince…is still in the Crown Prince's bedroom..
The chamberlain thought for a moment or replied.
Wang Erzhe frowned." King Chu is dead. He hasn't come yet?" " That's not the reason. After hearing the news of His Majesty's death, His Highness couldn't believe it. He cried bitterly and fainted. After waking up, he became a little…delirious and kept talking nonsense…This matter has been reported to the Prince. The Prince's intention is to lock the Prince in his bedroom first to prevent him from talking nonsense in front of the ministers. He wants to let the Prince calm down before releasing him..
” Hearing this, Wang Erzhe said angrily," After King Chu dies, His Highness the Crown Prince will be the new King Chu! Who gave you the right to house arrest the Crown Prince?! Have you eaten the heart of a bear?" " Prime Minister, calm down!" The palace attendants around the palace all knelt down, their faces full of fear." The main thing is…the main thing is that the Crown Prince is talking nonsense..
The servants are afraid that His Highness the Crown Prince will offend His Highness the Prince!" " Oh? What did the Crown Prince say?" " He kept saying that…Prince Chu Yun murdered King Chu and that he wanted to take revenge on Chu Yun!"
