    There is a small courtyard in Humu Lane in the west of Tiandu City. Weeds have grown on the steps at the door. The black door is already mottled. From the outside, it looks like a long-abandoned house. When you walk into the courtyard, you will find that it is actually a small courtyard.  There is a universe everywhere.  After bypassing the screen wall, passing through the front hall, entering from the east corner door is the main room. There is a secret door in the main room. After entering, there is a different world, with carved beams and painted buildings, waterside pavilions and singing platforms, which is elegant and quiet.

    In a small building near the lake, a handsome man wearing a purple python robe was sitting lazily on a soft couch, with two beautiful maids kneeling beside him, rubbing his legs and shoulders.  Surprisingly, it was Susukino Soki, who was recuperating at home due to the grief of the emperor's death.

    Susukino Soki asked lazily with half-closed eyes: "Has the news been released?"

    The man in black, half-kneeling in front of him, lowered his head and responded, "Yes. I believe the palace has received the news."

    Susukino Soki tapped his fingers rhythmically on the sandalwood armrest and nodded with satisfaction, "How is Zongfei doing now?"

    "Returning to the Lord, he released the news last night. Early this morning, Yushi Tan and two other imperial censors impeached Susukino Zonghu at court. At this time, the general has led people to the Prince's Mansion of Ping'an Road, accompanied by King Xin and the Prime Minister.  The things prepared in advance have been put away, and the results should be available after noon." The man in black paused and continued, "Also, there is a letter from the north asking when the action will be taken."

    The man pondered for a moment, "After Susukino Zongfei is solved, he will send a message to the north. Soon, Tiandu will be in chaos. Keep an eye on Prince Xin's Mansion, and don't let the secret door lead people out of Tiandu City."

    "Yes, I obey my orders!"

    "You go ahead. If the palace asks, they will say that I am too sad and my 'illness' won't be cured for a while. I have to continue to recuperate and I won't be able to go to court for the time being."

    The man in black retreated, and the man on the couch closed his eyes, with a cold smile appearing on his lips.

    ¡­¡­

    Since Fan Yun¡¯s accident, Hua Xixiangfang has been brazenly causing trouble from time to time.  Hua Xi thought that the situation was unstable recently, and the Xun family took the opportunity to take revenge because of Xun Rou's incident, so he wanted to temporarily close the Xiangfang to avoid other incidents.  Unexpectedly, Susukino allowed her to keep the door open, but withdrew the original servant and sent someone to manage the secret door.

    At the same time, another major event happened in Tiandu.

    The eldest prince, Susukino Sohu, was imprisoned.  The original suspicion of assassinating the second prince Susukino Zongfei has not been shaken off, and it was discovered that the dragon robe was secretly hidden in the palace. The tailor who made the dragon robe and had been silenced was miraculously resurrected.  At that time, there was a disobedient heart.

    There was an uproar in the DPRK, and a popular contender for the crown prince was deposed.  The third prince, Soki Susukino, is still ill at home and seems to be deliberately avoiding the fight for the throne.  At this time, the only remaining crown prince candidate was the second prince Susukino Sotobi, and the opposition to his succession gradually disappeared, and even King Shito's attitude softened.

    In the royal study room in the inner garden of the palace, Queen Xun was worried about the prime minister, generals and generals of various ministries, as well as the most important relatives of the royal family.

    Queen Xun is sitting at the top. Although she is not a 28-year-old girl, Queen Xun is well-maintained and dressed plainly, which further shows her grace and elegance.  With tears in her eyes, she said to the important ministers sitting next to her: "I am heartbroken for Your Majesty. If Your Majesty had not left suddenly and there was no one to take charge of the affairs of the court, I would have gone with Your Majesty" Her eyes were dim with tears.  The voice was sad, as if he had a deep love for the late king.

    Xun Yuqing offered words of comfort: "My condolences, Queen! Your Majesty has passed away and a new king has not yet been established. You must take care of yourself."

    "What Mr. Xun said is absolutely true. Madam, please give me my condolences." Everyone agreed.

    Empress Xun gently wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, her face suddenly became serious, and said: "The country cannot be without a king for a day. His Majesty has passed away for several days, and a new king needs to hold a grand funeral ceremony. But now, for whom are the people in the government and the public doing this?"  The matter of succession has become tense, and if this continues, the country will be ruined. I invite all the ministers to come over today just to discuss it. Although I have three sons, my eldest son is still a descendant of him Well, I am unworthy of the late emperor  Now there are only the second and third princes among the adult princes. I would like to ask the ministers what they think, who should be appointed?"

    People from the Second Prince's faction suggested: "Since ancient times, the first prince has been established as a direct descendant. If the eldest prince breaks the law, it is natural that the second prince should be appointed."

    As soon as this statement came out, some people from the eldest prince's faction immediately objected, "It has not yet been found out whether the eldest prince is involved in treason, so it seems inappropriate to hastily decide on the successor."

    The prime minister was not optimistic about the three princes of the Xun family, but he had no choice. In addition, most of his disciples supported the eldest prince, so the old prime minister followed the ancient principle of "establishing direct descendants and establishing elders" and supported the eldest prince Susuno Zonghu.  Later, Sohu Susukino was imprisoned. As an old man, he naturally understood the secret. Regardless of whether Sohu Susukino was framed, at least there was something.?He has already been defeated in the fight for the throne this time. Rather than getting involved in the dispute, it is better to wait and see what happens.  Anyway, he had made a mistake before, so he just went with the flow and kept silent.

    The prime minister said nothing, stroking his long white beard. His originally small eyes narrowed to a slit, and he looked like he was asleep.  When the civil servants present saw that the old man was silent, they all remained silent and did not express their opinions.

    "Master Prime Minister, you are a veteran of three dynasties. What do you mean?"

    Hearing the queen's question, the prime minister paused for a moment. It was not until someone next to him touched him with his elbow that he regained his composure. He stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Well, I'm old and my ears don't work. I hope you'll forgive me.  The Queen must make the final decision regarding the new king." Everyone thought that the old prime minister meant it, and he did not object but would not support it either.

    Queen Xun frowned and cursed "old fox" secretly. She looked at the people below and turned to the silent Suo Yexin, "What does King Xin mean?"

    Susukino Shin did not stand up, but glanced at the officials from the two factions sitting across from him, and said calmly: "As the uncle of the three princes, I watched them grow up and know their temperaments best. To be honest, I,  Based on the eldest prince¡¯s character, it would be true to say that he aspires to the throne, but I cannot agree with the suggestion that he is plotting rebellion"

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Everyone in the eldest prince¡¯s faction looked happy, who didn¡¯t know that the king¡¯s position in the court was very important.

    However, Susukino only paused for a moment and continued: "Nowadays, everyone respects the second prince more, but I remind you that you seem to have overlooked one person. The third prince has been very smart since he was a child. Although his temper at least he has not made any mistakes.  Compared to the eldest prince and the second prince, the third prince was more benevolent and filial to the fight in front of the late emperor's bed I think the third prince Susukino Soki is more suitable to inherit the throne."

    As soon as Susukino Shin said this, everyone was surprised. Even the old prime minister opened his eyes and looked at Susukino Shin with a flash of light in his eyes.

    Empress Xun was also deeply surprised. Among her three sons, she actually preferred her younger son Suo Ye Zongqi. When she heard what Suo Yexin said, she couldn't help but secretly wonder why he, Suo Yexin, had relaxed his tone today after many times of testing failed.  ?

    The corners of Queen Xun's lips curled up almost imperceptibly, "The palms of the hands and the backs of the hands are all flesh, and they are all my sons in theory. You should not favor one over the other. But choosing a new king is a matter of national concern, and I should put the overall situation first. Letter.  The king is the brother of the late emperor. When the late emperor was still alive, he often said that King Xin was the person who knew him best in the world. I believe in King Xin¡¯s vision. I wonder what you all think?"

    "King Zhidu, what do you think?" Someone focused on King Zhidu.

    King Zhidu and King Mohan were the two princes of the opposite sex in Xiyue. The only difference from King Mohan, who was later conferred for his military exploits, was that the first King Zhidu was the nephew of the first King of Xiyue.  They both come from Beixun, so the Shido family and the Susukino family have been married for generations.  Although Zhidu is of the opposite sex, he is also an authentic relative of the emperor.

    When someone asked, King Shidu glanced at King Xin beside him, and said solemnly: "The rules of our ancestors cannot be broken, and I still believe that we should abide by the ancient etiquette." That means that the eldest prince is gone now.  Then of course he is the second prince.

    "Old minister, reconsideration." The general who always supported Susukino Sobi agreed.

    In this way, the people present were divided into three factions, the faction that remained neutral and supported the eldest prince, the faction that supported Susukino Muneki led by the eldest general and King Shidu, and finally Susukino Muneki supported by Susukino Nobu and Queen Xun.

    The atmosphere in the royal study became heated again

    In that compartment, Susukino Soki, who was recuperating at home, was sitting in Renyi's room. Hearing the news from the palace, he was so angry that he smashed the tea cup in his hand, "Susukino Soki! I thought you were pretending to be sick to avoid trouble.  , I have been making trouble for a long time, and you are plotting against me behind my back while recovering from illness. Okay, very good" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
