The third day in Tiandu City!
The grand funeral of the emperor was held in the Zuying Hall of the imperial city of Tiandu City, and princes and kings from all over the country were ordered to come to the funeral.
At this moment, Huangfu Zhang and the crown prince Huangfu Yun also came to the imperial city.
Wearing mourning clothes and a mourning cloth on the head.
At first glance, hundreds of civil and military officials were all dressed in mourning clothes, looking very solemn and dignified.
And right in front, Huangfu Zhenghe's coffin was placed in the center.
Huangfu Zhenghe's children, the queen and concubines all knelt before the coffin, each of them extremely sad.
It is difficult to tell whether she is truly sad or just pretending to be sad.
Huangfu Yun whispered, "Father, who is the new emperor? Why is there still no news?"
"It's most likely the Second Prince. I asked you to pay a visit to the Second Prince yesterday, but you didn't go?" Huangfu Zhang looked at his son in confusion.
Huangfu Yun smiled bitterly and said, "I would like to go, but the Second Prince is very busy and has no time to see me."
After saying this, Huangfu Yun looked at his father and said, "Father, aren't you going to visit the Fifth Prince?"
"Shh!"
Huangfu Zhang's face was extremely serious, and he lowered his voice and said, "Father is trying to make his presence felt on both sides. No matter who becomes the emperor, he will not offend the new monarch!"
Huangfu Yun looked around and saw that everyone around him had their heads down and no one spoke.
Huangfu Yun lowered his voice to the lowest point: "Father, the Fengshen Sect supports the Fifth Prince. Since my sister has become Sect Leader Lu's disciple, should we..."
Huangfu Zhang looked at Huangfu Yun inexplicably: "Yun'er, do you think the Fifth Prince has a chance?"
"The Fengshen Sect is not simple. The leader has entered the holy realm." Huangfu Yun looked at Huangfu Zhang in confusion.
"Although we are very close to the Fengshen Sect, it is impossible to do anything about it. Although she has become a saint, what kind of place is this Tiandu City?"
"The key point is that the person from the Liuli Sect is also a saint, and there is also a powerful sect like the Huanglao Pavilion in charge. The Fengshen Sect alone can't cause any big waves in this place!"
At this moment, Huangfu Zhang looked around and shook his head, saying, "Even for an occasion like this, not a single person from the Fengshen Sect showed up. Rumor has it that the Fengshen Sect killed the previous emperor. So, how could the court allow the Fifth Prince, who is supported by the Fengshen Sect, to become emperor?"
Huangfu Yun understood and nodded, "So you still want to bet on both sides?"
Huangfu Zhang sighed: "Although there is no chance, but that Lord is really cunning. He might be the biggest variable. What if?"
Huangfu Yun nodded.
At this moment!
"Bow!"
"Bye again!"
"Three bows!"
All the civil and military ministers, princes and kings bowed their heads.
The old eunuch shouted, "Read the funeral oration!"
Then, a lengthy sacrificial oration was read. Huangfu Zhang and his son knelt on the ground, but they did not talk to each other.
Outside the Zuying Hall, on a long corridor, Chen An and Zhang You were sitting on the railing, looking in the direction of the Zuying Hall.
Chen An retracted his gaze and looked at Zhang You: "Zhang You, do you think anything happened today?"
Zhang You has a pointed face, a goatee, and a sly smile.
Unexpectedly, Chen An valued him so much and asked him to come over. As soon as he arrived, he planned a plan for Chen An and was now waiting for the opportunity.
Zhang You grinned and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured. With the evidence of the Second Prince's patricide and regicide, the Emperor's corpse, and the testimony of elders like Fu Heng, I don't believe he can turn the tables!"
Although he thought so too, when the time came, he still felt uneasy.
"The Second Prince has made preparations, and the army has entered the city. We currently have no clear means of stopping them."
Zhang You was full of confidence: "Those are just small matters. The Imperial City Guards are under the control of the Empress, so it shouldn't be a problem!"
Having said that, Chen An always felt that something was missing.
At this moment, Chen An looked at Xing'er and Xie Huayu beside him, as well as the seventh elder Yuan Xiu.
Xing'er looked calm, her eyes fixed on one spot, as if she was worried about something.
Chen An felt strange: "Xing'er, why are you silent?"
"Your Majesty, I am just a maid and dare not respond." Xing'er knelt down and saluted very respectfully.
Chen An's eyes flickered slightly, and he looked at Xie Huayu: "Huayu, have you seen the Seventh Princess?"
"The Seventh Princess just went in with some people. Didn't you see it, sir?"
Chen An looked at Yuan Xiu again: "Seventh Elder, do you remember the last time you fought against Cheng Jianghe?"
Yuan Xiu laughed and said, "Your Majesty, of course I don't remember. But Your Majesty killed Cheng Jianghe with two punches, which made me feel ashamed of myself."
Chen An laughed dryly, feeling embarrassed.
But his expression remained unchanged and he was extremely calm.
Then, Chen An glanced at Xing'er again, and said to Xie Huayu, "Huayu, take some people with you to Lin'an Palace. They need someone to guard there too. Report any situation immediately."
Xie Huayu was a little confused. Lin'an Palace had arranged for the Imperial Guards to be on duty, so there shouldn't be any problems.
What's more, there is a leader of the Fengshen Sect who comes and goes without a trace. I'm afraid no one dares to act recklessly in this palace.
But Xie Huayu still knelt and saluted: "Yes, I will go right away!"
Xie Huayu left, and Chen An looked at Zhang You: "Let you, old fellow, take charge of the overall situation. What's going on over at the Royal Pavilion?"
Zhang You shook his head: "Nothing happened. None of the Three Saints came today."
Yuan Xiu, however, said, "He came, but didn't show up."
"It looks like they're waiting and watching."
Then, Chen An saw a group of people coming to the gate of Zuying Hall, but they did not go in.
