The person in the coffin was Aunt Wang, whom the old Prince Rong brought from the border, and the person in the prison car was the old prince's third son, Shangguan Hongzhe.
In the first month of the year, Shangguan Ziqi went to the capital of Canglan and directly took the lives of Emperor Canglan and Prince Canglan.
Even Canglan's prime minister died in that turmoil.
The entire capital of Canglan was in chaos.
The bodies of the emperor and the prince were blown to pieces.
It was finally picked up and pieced together, and it was still incomplete, so it was sent to the palace.
A country cannot be without a king for a day.
The prince's son was only thirteen years old. Although he had some abilities, he was too young to command anyone.
The Crown Princess wanted to step in to stabilize the situation, but her father, the Prime Minister, was also dead.
She lost both her husband and father at the same time, and was so heartbroken that she had no energy to care about anything else.
The queen in the palace had to come forward to stabilize the situation, but the prince was not her son, and the queen had no feelings for him.
All she could do was to take care of the funeral affairs of the emperor, the crown prince and the three princes who died at the same time.
Several concubines in the palace whose sons had died cried their hearts out.
The ministers have no backbone.
Several ministers gathered together to discuss and asked the third prince, Xijing, to take charge of the situation.
The third prince Zhu Lingxiao had already received the news and rushed to Beijing as soon as possible.
Once the prince dies, no one will stop him.
They entered Jingcang City smoothly within ten days.
As soon as he arrived, he took over the palace, presided over the overall situation, and issued orders.
The ministers had a backbone, and many things began to operate normally.
At the three requests of the ministers, he simply held a coronation ceremony and became the new emperor of Canglan.
The late emperor, the crown prince, and several younger brothers were buried according to state rites.
Only later will he deal with post-war affairs.
When he looked through the memorials and some secret letters left by the previous emperor, he had a general idea of many things.
He had never been a crown prince, so he didn't know many things, but he certainly knew the history of Canglan, and he was clear about what happened a century ago.
He also knew that the Canglan royal family had always been committed to taking down the Wei Dynasty.
On the surface, it was to avenge his ancestors, but in fact he just wanted to occupy the rich territory of Wei.
Now that the Wei Dynasty has opened the iron box and obtained such powerful weapons, it will be basically impossible for Canglan to send troops to attack the Wei Dynasty in the future.
There is only one way: peace.
After repeated consideration, he consulted with his ministers later.
Only then did we come up with a more reasonable solution.
Among them, the request of Prince Rong’s Mansion was also put forward for discussion.
Now all the ministers know the true identity of the Great Lord.
But on the surface, she is still the adopted sister of the late emperor.
Moreover, she is already sixty years old and will not live for many more years. For Canglan's future survival, making sacrifices is her duty as the head of the royal family.
As for Prince Zhe, he is the biological son of Prince Rong of Wei. Sending him to his native home is only natural and there is no need to think about it at all.
Zhu Lingxiao also knew that the aunt had done a lot for Canglan. He couldn't just pick her up and send her to Wei without even saying hello, so he chose an afternoon to come to the Changzhu Mansion.
Zhu Jingshu has been confined in the mansion these days, and lives in a daze every day.
She didn't know where to go.
She lost her support in Canglan, and even the crown prince was gone.
Canglan, for whom she sacrificed her whole life, saved the defeated country.
Now both Great Wei and Southern Shu are waiting to see how to divide Canglan.
She cried every day.
She regretted it.
She regretted making such a great sacrifice for her royal brother.
If she had not gone to Wei, her life would have been so wonderful.
Even if her brother was not named the crown prince, she was the heir apparent, so it wouldn't be too bad.
Just find a suitable man to marry, have a few children, and live a peaceful life.
Don’t worry about any imperial power.
But for her brother, for Concubine Xi, and for herself to become a great contributor to the entire Canglan in the future, she chose the most difficult path.
But now, this has become a joke.
When Zhu Lingxiao entered the Lord's Mansion, he saw an old woman sitting by a small pond with lifeless eyes, intermittently feeding the fish in the pond.
At that time, Emperor Canglan was quite nice to this sister, and the mansion he gave her was a rare and good house.
The large house has four courtyards, a small bridge, flowing water, rockery and a pond.
"Royal Aunt." Zhu Lingxiao didn't attract her attention when he came in front of her, so he had to shout out.
He did not come with much fanfare.
When Zhu Jingshu heard the voice, she thought it was the prince calling her.
He wanted to ask if his father was feeling better.
When she saw it was a strange face, she remembered that the two people she was thinking about were dead.
When she saw that the person in front of her was wearing a dragon robe, she immediately stood up.
"Your Majesty."
"Aunt Royal, I am your third nephew. I have come to see you specially." Zhu Lingxiao introduced himself very gently.
He is not like the original prince, who was born gloomy. He is more like a scholar, gentle as jade.
This kind of people are actually smarter.
"What are you doing here?" Zhu Jingshu didn't believe that he just came to see her.
"Aunt, I'm sure you know my current situation. Since you were married to Prince Rong of Wei, he is your husband. So I have discussed with the ministers and we all agree that you should stay in Prince Rong's mansion."
Zhu Lingxiao then explained his purpose.
"Don't worry, you will always be the master of my Canglan Imperial Family, no matter where you are."
"Your Majesty, are you going to send me to Wei?" Zhu Jingshu couldn't accept it and suddenly asked loudly.
"Auntie, you are already married, so you should go to your husband's house."
"Your Majesty, don't you know that if I go to the Wei Rong Palace, I will die?"
"Since ancient times, a married daughter is like water spilled, and she will die in her husband's family. In a few days, I will send an envoy to Wei. Then I will send someone to pick you up."
Zhu Lingxiao spoke very gently, neither forceful nor overbearing. He did not linger for long after he finished speaking, not giving Zhu Jingshu any room to cry or make a fuss, and just turned around and left.
The reason why he came in person was to give her enough face because she had made so many contributions to Canglan. It was considered as a respect for her.
But now Canglan is facing such a desperate situation, he can only give up on her.
Zhu Jingshu was left unable to accept this reality for a long time.
That night, Zhu Jingshu locked herself in the room and cried and laughed until late at night without falling asleep.
The maidservant did not dare to go in, but also did not dare to go far away, and waited until the candle inside burned out.
But the next day, more than an hour had passed since the master woke up, and the master still didn't call them in to serve.
The head maid bravely pushed the door open and called twice, but there was no response.
When I entered the inner room, I saw the long-haired master hanging on the beam, with a stool lying on the ground below him.
The maidservant was so frightened that she stepped back repeatedly and called several other maidservants in. They worked together to put the person down, but the body had already become stiff and it was unknown how long he had been dead.
The matter was soon reported to the palace.
After hearing this, Zhu Lingxiao just let out a long sigh.
Now that the person is dead, how can we report to the Rong Palace of the Wei Dynasty?
At this time, the personal eunuch who followed him to the capital gave an idea.
"Your Majesty, the Wei Rong Palace only said to send the person to the prison, but did not say whether he should be killed alive or dead."
Zhu Lingxiao knew what it meant as soon as he heard it.
"That's right. Luo Xixi, you send someone to handle this matter. Use more ice, and make sure it's intact when it's transported to the Wei Dynasty." Zhu Lingxiao ordered immediately.
It will take at least ten days to get to Dawei.
In order to transport it to Wei as soon as possible, the members of the Canglan delegation were quickly determined. The queen took the remains of the third old lady of the Rong Palace of Wei and Shangguan Hongzhe and rushed to Wei.
And they arrived at the capital of Wei on April 18th.
