"In addition, the funeral arrangements for our father will also require your care."
After that, the warrior's body was placed in the coffin.
Some descendants of the Wu family asked Wu Meiniang what to do with Crown Prince Wu Yuanqing.
Wu Meiniang responded, "The Crown Prince is unfilial and cannot govern the country. This should be made known to the world."
"As for him...let him stay in the clan house for the rest of his life."
For the royal family members, the clan residence of Wu State was like being demoted to the cold palace.
Here, the overall situation has been decided.
Wu Meiniang became the new ruler of the Wu Kingdom.
Probably a few days later.
When Pan Feng was about to return to the court, he said to Wu Meiniang:
"Your Majesty, His Majesty has asked me to ask you a question. I hope you can answer it truthfully."
The latter asked with a smile, "I guess Your Majesty wants you to ask who will be the ruler of Wu State in the future?"
Pan Feng didn't say anything.

He never expected that the expected scene of debate with the scholars would not happen.
Now, he has become a prisoner...
The imperial court did not turn a blind eye to the Han Kingdom established by Liu Bang.
Cao Cao still sent Sima Yi to the prison to contact Zhang Liang.
The latter said:
"I am an envoy. What crime have I committed? How have I fallen to this point?"
Sima Yi said sternly, "Qin and Shu are allies."
"And your Han Kingdom was founded on the strength of Shu Kingdom."
"To the Kingdom of Shu, you are all traitors."
"If that's the case, isn't it legitimate for the Great Qin to imprison you here?"
Zhang Liang said bluntly, "The Qin Dynasty's allies, or even vassal states, may not be limited to Shu."
