Chapter 2 Difficult to ascending the throne

The day lit up in silence, and Shen Sirong heard a soft cough outside the door.

"Your Highness, it's time to go out. Father can't be so cold." Shen Sirong got up and patted the folds on his skirt. He went to the figure beside the dragon's edge to comfort him. On this night alone, there were a few more vicissitudes between Xiao Yuanqi's eyebrows.

Xiao Yuanqi's back straightened and stood up from the side of the dragon collapse.

"Well, everything I said last night is sincere. I'll keep that position for you." The peaceful eyes penetrated into Shen Sirong's eyes, and she nodded. In fact, no matter what Xiao Yuanqi wanted to do, she would cooperate with him.

Xiao Yuanqi got Shen Sirong's approval, stood and worshipped on the side of the collapse, and then turned around and took Shen Sirong's hand and left the bedroom.

At the moment of holding hands, Shen Sirong was glad that she had been with him last night.

Opening the door of the palace, there were a few courtiers standing outside the door, all wearing filial piety on top of the imperial uniform. Xiao Yuanqi frowned, and his heart was haunted by uneasiness. Shen Sirong and his hand could also feel this uneasiness. He secretly glanced at Xiao Yuanqi, and Shen Sirong stared at Shen Shiyan, who was kneeling in the first row.

"Why are you waiting here to be lonely?" Xiao Yuanqi raised his head slightly and his face was clear. He had just estimated the position of the ministers kneeling below.

One column is led by Zuo Prime Minister Chen Xun, and most of his subordinates kneel down are the prince's party, while the other side is the Wang family led by Wang Chu.

"I have something to say."

"Weichen has something to report."

The two prime ministers spoke in unison. Xiao Yuanqi had vaguely guessed something, and he quietly waited for them to continue to speak.

"I."

"Weichen."

The two prime ministers still do not give in to each other, competing to say what they said first.

"Lord Wang, let's talk about it first." Xiao Yuanqi wanted to see what Wang Chu could say.

There is a shallow fluctuation at the corners of Wang Chu's mouth: "I want to ascend the throne."

"Alege?" Xiao Yuanqi listened to the sound called by Wang Chu and knew something in his heart. It must not be so easy to ascend the throne this time.

Shen Sirong quietly let go of Xiao Yuanqi's hand and retreated. This move was deliberately shown to Wang Chu. She asked Xiao Yuanqi to be alone to tell him that Xiao Yuanqi was already the honor of our emperor. And she is making appearances at the beginning.

"Your Majesty, the country cannot be without a king for a day. I beg the emperor to ascend the throne on the same day." When Wang Chu withdrew his words, Chen Xun had already blurted out what he wanted.

Xiao Yuanqi understood at this moment that Wang Chu didn't seem to want him to ascend the throne so soon. He looked more fierce and shouted, "How can I say this? The late emperor has just passed away. How can he be so ignorant of his father and son?"

"The emperor's filial piety can be learned from heaven and earth, but the emperor should be considerate of my Changli country. If there is no king for a day, the country will not be a country. Please also ask the emperor to give the gift of ascending the throne first. Chen Xun said with tears.

Wang Chu was terrified when he saw Xiao Yuanqi's face showing hesitation. He roared at Chen Xun, "Zuo Cheng is too careless of His Highness's feelings."

"Your Highness? The predecessor is located in the emperor. Should the title of Prime Minister Wang be changed at this time?

The two sides clashed, and the sound of dispute was endless outside the Shangyang Palace. Shen Shiyan knelt aside without saying a word. He saw Shen Sirong's look and knelt down and walked forward and said, "This matter is Changli's national affairs, and it's also the emperor's own business. We still don't want to be so good."

A cold hum sounded, and Wang Chu kowtowed and bowed: "I think that Your Highness should follow the precedent of our Changli Kingdom. After the death of the former emperor, the national mourning period of one month can be officially ascended to the throne."

The position dispute between the two sides depends on each other, and no one can refute each other's words. Xiao Yuanqi pondered for a moment and raised his voice to the ministers: "There is no need to dispute this matter. I stayed in Shangyang Palace last night and deeply felt the kindness of my father. The accession to the throne can be suspended. The government is now handled by the orphan. Now the big thing is to hold my father's funeral, and you don't need to argue about the orphan's accession to the throne."

Although Prime Minister Chen Xun has some different meanings, he will not say much when he sees Xiao Yuanqi's determination. Wang Chu and others were happy, which was Xiao Yuanqi's regression and their next opportunity.

When everyone retreated, Shen Sirong went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to ask Xiao Ze's funeral in person.

This is the first time she has seen the changes in the court unfold in front of her eyes. Wang Chu repeatedly mentioned precedents, which is nothing more than not wanting Xiao Yuanqi to ascend the throne as soon as possible. They should have some plans. Shen Sirong is very worried about Xiao Yuanqi. She can't help him in state affairs. All she can do now is to deal with everything else well and avoid his worries.

The death of the emperor will make a big change for the people in the palace, which is the first thing Shen Sirong wants to do for him.

A scene outside the Shangyang Palace spread in a very fast time. Under the guidance of people with intentions, the situation in the court is changing again. Xiao Yuanqi's move was a compromise with the Wang family in the eyes of others, and many neutral people also broke their silence and reassessed the situation of the two sides.

Concubine Shu frequently summoned Xiao Yuanfeng to the palace in the name of mourning the previous emperor, and Xiao Yuanqi had nothing to say about it. This makes neutral people more uneasy, which is exactly what Shufei wants to see. After secretly negotiating with Wang Chu and others, she determined that Ruolan had been seen through by Xiao Yuanqi. Now they are not in a good situation and may be caught by Xiao Yuanqi at any time. It is better to do it first. They divide it into two ways, delay Xiao Yuanqi's accession to the throne, and stabilize Xiao Yuanfeng internally to prevent him from making a change.

Xiao Yuanfeng is really loyal. If it weren't for Shen Sirong's existence, how could Xiao Yuanfeng break the rules he adhered to because of jealousy and heartache?

But he is still their most worried part. Xiao Yuanfeng is right. As long as he is not here, everything the Wang family does is meaningless and fruitless.

The sky was gray, and the dark clouds were approaching, as if he were surrounded by the pressure of the city. Xiao Yuanfeng had just come out of Zilan Palace, and his heart seemed to be crushed by thousands of tons of stones. His mother's concubine has recently summoned him to the palace every day to inform him of the daily situation and progress.

He knew everything, but the Wang family didn't know. He remembered the chapter he had seen in the East Palace. He was suddenly confused. If he really obeys the Wang family, the Wang family will get power, Shufei will get fame, and what can he get? Shen Sirong?

It seems that these are what he thought from beginning to end, and there is no evidence. He didn't forget the intimate appearance of Shen Sirong and Xiao Yuanqi outside Fengming Palace. Is she really not doing well?

If she really takes Xiao Yuanqi and replaces it, how can she deal with herself...
