Chapter 2027 Civil strife
Empress Qi retorted, saying that weren't the accusations against them mother and son also speculations?
What? She is allowed to speculate about others and throw dirty water on others, but not others to respond? Who the hell is she!
I am the queen appointed by the emperor himself!
I won't tolerate slander from bitches!
Concubine Sun De and the Second Prince also got involved, trampling both sides into the mud in order to prove their own innocence.
Empress Qi summoned several doctors from the Imperial Hospital to examine Emperor Xuan of Qi. They finally confirmed that the emperor was not poisoned, but had taken too many elixirs over the years, and his body had long been weakened. It was normal for him to die...
Imperial Concubine Mei heaved a sigh of relief, but she became even more aggressive in pressuring Empress Qi...
All in all, the core issue that everyone is arguing about is just one: who will succeed to the throne?
None of the three princes would submit to the other. Without a will, everyone wanted to succeed to the throne, and none of them was willing to give up.
The Crown Princess also came to her senses by now. She was dressed in mourning and brought the Emperor's eldest grandson with her brothers from her natal family and the old ministers and guards who supported the Eastern Palace to rush to fight for the throne.
The prince is the heir to the throne. Even though the prince is gone, he still has his eldest son! The prince's eldest son has grown up and even has children. He should be the heir to the throne!
Now it’s even more lively!
The capital city was in chaos, with the four factions fighting each other.
Only two gates were left for entrance and exit in the capital city, and all others were closed.
At these two city gates, all four factions sent their trusted guards to guard them, and no one gave way to the other.
Countless people go in and out of the city gate every day, some going out to call for help, and some rushing in from all over.
There are several large and small garrisons outside the city.
In the palace, there is a mixed crowd of people from all walks of life.
The body of Emperor Xuan of Qi was hastily placed in the coffin and the mourning hall was hastily arranged. People almost fought over who should kneel where and who should burn the first incense stick.
No one really cared about Emperor Xuan of Qi's affairs at this time, as everyone was eyeing the throne.
No one can resist such temptation, and no one will give up!
The emperor did not leave a will, so now it’s up to the capable one to take charge. Whoever gets it first owns it, and others cannot refuse to accept it.
Not convinced? If you have the guts, take it back!
The ambitions of the princes no longer needed to be concealed; they were all clearly exposed and displayed.
The same goes for the courtiers who support the princes.
Everyone is doing their best.
The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. It is impossible to retreat at this time, and the only thing to do is to fight forward and carve out a bloody path.
The centrists who were loyal to the court and the emperor, especially the old ministers and civil servants, were all heartbroken when they saw this. They urged all the princes to stop and take care of the late emperor's funeral first before doing anything else. Otherwise, how could the late emperor rest in peace?
In response to this, each prince adopted the strategy of passing the buck: I will stop if the other stops first.
This is an unsolvable problem.
Everyone knows that without a clear status, no one can care about anything else!
The Crown Princess was extremely annoyed and furious.
If the crown prince were still alive, the throne would naturally belong to him.
The Crown Prince is gone. As the saying goes, the son inherits the father's business, so the throne must belong to the eldest grandson. Why do these people want to snatch the throne from her son!
They are so shameless!
But among these forces, the Crown Princess's faction is the smallest.
The prince had too many concerns and did not dare to develop his power. After all, so many eyes were on him.
At this point, the Eastern Palace is simply unable to compete with others.
