Chapter 1787

Inside the Palace of King Pei, there was nothingness, immersed in a sad atmosphere.

The sudden death of King Pei was like a bolt from the blue to the royal family. Members of the royal family supported the coffin and wept bitterly.

Tang Xuance was standing in the hall, his face was tense, and his eyes were full of guilt.

He was responsible for protecting King Pei's personal safety, but King Pei died unfortunately. At this moment, he had no face to face the queen mother, queen and princes.

The Water Dance Army guarded the main hall and did not allow any other people to enter. King Pei had already died. Tang Xuance did not allow other members of the royal family to be threatened any more. This was the only thing he could do right now.

As an enshrinement of the Tang family, Tang Xuance did not leave the palace, so it was naturally difficult for Gu Chen to leave.

It's just that he is not interested in the scene of the royal family crying, and he sits under a tree outside the hall to enjoy the shade and meditate.

When the crying was over, after learning what happened at the banquet, the Empress Dowager Pei led the princes to Tang Xuance.

"Master Tang, what should we do now? The second prince of Dasheng is too deceitful. I'm afraid he won't give up until he achieves his goal."

The queen mother was choking with sobs, her old face was full of sorrow.

Her son is gone, and she is now worried about her grandson.

If she didn't follow what Prince Wulie said, her grandsons might die suddenly one by one.

This is absolutely possible, even the dignified King Pei can poison the other party face to face, what else is the other party afraid to do?

Things have developed to the point where she, a woman, is full of fear and doesn't know what to do, so she can only ask Tang Xuance for advice.

At this juncture, only the commander of the Water Dance Army is still loyal, and only he can guard the royal family.

"Qi Queen Mother, for the current plan, one of the princes must be selected to inherit the throne as soon as possible, and then I will do my best to assist and stabilize the government and the opposition as quickly as possible!" Tang Xuance said with a serious expression.

"A country cannot be left without a master for a day. This is true. It's just that no matter which grandson of the old man succeeds at the moment, it is tantamount to pushing them into the tiger's mouth. How can the old man make a decision?" The queen mother looked at the princes behind her. , His face was full of sadness and reluctance.

Tang Xuance sighed, the Empress Dowager usually likes to be clean and never interferes in government affairs, making her make such a decision is indeed embarrassing for her.

He didn't urge him, he looked at the princes first, and his eyes focused on the eldest prince Liu Bo. "I don't know what the princes think?"

In normal times, he would not ask the opinions of the princes at all, because it is impossible for any prince not to be interested in the throne, and he must try his best to fight for it.

However, Peiguo is now in a precarious situation. Prince Wulie said harsh words. Now, any prince who dares to break the taboo to succeed to the throne is almost certain to die. In this way, not everyone will dare to fight for it.

The eldest prince, Liu Bo, was the oldest, and had participated in court affairs under the arrangement of King Pei, so he was the first candidate he considered at this time.

It's a pity that the eldest prince Liu Bo didn't seem to have heard Tang Xuance's words, his whole body was immersed in sadness, he only knew how to cry, and looked helpless.

"Master Tang, I am willing to inherit the throne!"

It was Liu Che, the second son of King Pei, who blurted out, his face flushed red, and his eyes were full of hatred.

"I do too!" "I do too!"

Seeing that the second brother had spoken, the other princes also responded one after another. Only the seventh prince, Liu Yan, who looked the thinnest among them, remained silent, as if he couldn't see the situation with his blind eyes.

Seeing this, Tang Xuance felt relieved, most of the princes were still responsible, and they were still willing to take the lead even though they knew that the succession to the throne was close to death.

With the fearlessness of the princes, he is more determined to go through fire and water.

"Queen, please move on to chat in detail."

Tang Xuance believed that he had no right to choose who would be the new King Pei, and it was impossible for him to have the final say on this matter, so he invited the Queen Mother aside.

"The empress dowager has seen the attitudes of all the princes. I wonder which one the empress dowager prefers to inherit the throne?" Tang Xuance asked politely.

King Pei died suddenly. Without any last words, which prince the queen mother preferred would be more qualified to inherit the throne.

Hearing Tang Xuance's words, the Empress Dowager revealed a self-deprecating look. "Master Tang, please be honest, right now, whoever we want can inherit the throne? Will all the officials agree? Will the one from Dasheng agree?"

Tang Xuance was silent for a while, and finally replied: "Queen Mother, it's up to people. We have to fight no matter what, otherwise Peiguo will really be over!"

"Resistance? How to fight? Even King Pei and the others can openly poison them, let alone Laoshen's grandsons? The so-called resistance must be based on the premise of hope. If there is no hope, Laoshen would rather protect them for a while!" The empress dowager's attitude was very negative, which made Tang Xuance's heart heavy.

In fact, he can understand the queen mother, the country of Lan is invading on a large scale outside, the officials are colluding with outsiders inside, and the pillars are collapsed again. If it is anyone else, they will think that the Pei royal family has no hope.

Although it is sad to live in vain, at least you are still alive, and if you continue to fight, you will only have a dead end.

"Empress Dowager, even if the Seventh Prince inherits the throne according to Wu Lie's wishes, he will never be satisfied with it. Once the Liu family's royal power falls, sooner or later the family will be ruined!" Tang Xuance had to speak more seriously. Shang is unwilling to accept such a choice, because it means that King Pei died in vain, and Liu's family is completely ruined.

He was loyal to King Pei all his life and never wanted to see such a situation.

"Master Tang, I understand the truth, and I don't want to be Liu's sinner through the ages! Whenever there is a chance, I am willing to fight for it, but is there really a chance? Master Tang, please tell me frankly, just Depending on you, can you stop Prince Wulie?" The queen mother was in tears and couldn't restrain her excitement.

Tang Xuance lowered his head, his expression gloomy.

If he could stop Prince Wulie, King Pei would not die tragically.

In terms of money, power, and status, no matter what he can't compare with Prince Wulie, the two are people from different worlds!

All he has is loyalty, but how meaningful is his sworn allegiance to the current royal family? How can I convince them to continue fighting?

"Master Tang, Prince Wulie has power over the seven kingdoms, and he is more likely to be the emperor of the Dasheng Dynasty in the future. We can't afford to provoke him at all. Maybe my son made a mistake at the beginning. If he had surrendered to him earlier, it wouldn't be too late. Fall into this field."

The Queen Mother continued, her words hurt Tang Xuance's heart, as if his previous insistence was all wrong.

But, is he really wrong?

No, the scholar died for his confidant, King Pei was kind to him, and he must not let him down!

"The Queen Mother, there may be someone who can help Peiguo through the crisis!" Tang Xuance gritted his teeth as if grasping at the last straw.

"Who has this ability?" The pessimistic queen mother asked tentatively.

"Chen Yi is enshrined in the minister's mansion, maybe he can help us!" Tang Xuance replied without thinking.

"Chen Gongfeng? I heard about it. He rescued you from Taohua Layman. His strength can be described as high. It's just that state affairs cannot be easily influenced by personal force. In terms of power, how can he compare with that Wu Lie?" The queen mother shook her head, thinking that Tang Xuance had rushed to the doctor in a hurry.

"The Queen Mother doesn't know, this Chen Gongfeng is a member of the Chen family!" Tang Xuance gritted his teeth, although he promised Gu Chen to keep it secret, but now he has to say that he can't let the Queen Mother give up hope!

As long as Pei Guo still has a glimmer of hope of survival, even if he suffers the wrath of that one and dies, he will not hesitate!

"Chen family? Which Chen family?" The queen mother looked suspicious.

"Famous for his body-holding technique, that mysterious hidden powerhouse!"

Tang Xuance's words were deafening, and the Empress Dowager's eyes rekindled the brilliance of hope!
