Chapter 309: Yun Xingxu's defense is broken
Yun Xingxu had imagined the scene after his death countless times.
In my imagination, the mountains and rivers would be in mourning, the sun and moon would mourn together, and the deafening wails inside and outside the palace would last for a full 49 days...
All his concubines were heartbroken, knowing that their lives were hopeless. However, due to their unrepentant devotion to him, they willingly followed him to his death, in the name of chastity and loyalty...
With his departure, the balance of power in the court will be completely shattered, plunging into a bloody storm! The choice of a new emperor remains undecided, and the entire country is in turmoil...
And he...although dead, he is still alive and will continue to be mentioned and remembered by the world!
......
After wandering around for two days, Yun Xingxu finally accepted that he was a dead man. He looked at the dark sky, sighed deeply, and then floated quietly towards his funeral palace.
"Before he fell into a coma, he had expressed remorse and had been diligently handling government affairs..."
"After he fell unconscious, he lay on that cold, hard couch for three months. He's suffered a lot while alive... Now that he's in the underworld, he won't be sent to the eighteenth level of hell again, right?"
"I have to say, these spring nights are indeed much warmer!"
"I don't know what identity I will be in when I come to the human world next time."
“…”
Yun Xingxu floated along the way, muttering to himself all the way, full of attachment to this world.
But upon arriving at his funeral palace, he instantly fell silent, his face becoming even uglier...
Why is there no one outside this mourning hall? Even the wind is eerily quiet!?
What about the civil and military officials, as well as the royal family members who should have been keeping vigil and mourning for him?
How outrageous!
He gritted his teeth, and with a sullen expression, he walked straight into his own mourning hall...
But he discovered that in this huge funeral palace, there were only two eunuchs who were yawning and taking turns dozing off?!
There was no deafening wailing or chaotic footsteps as expected...even the whimpering of the wind passing through the corridors of the palace could not be heard clearly!
Is there...no one who feels sad about his passing?
How is that possible? ! !
He stopped at the door and looked around the hall coldly...
Everywhere you look, there are white banners, candles, incense burners... everything that is required by the regulations is present, but there is an indescribable sense of perfunctoriness.
Not to mention that the candlelight was not bright enough, the texture of those white banners looked far inferior to the ones he used when he buried his father!
"This layout... is so simple it's almost shabby! It's not even as good as an ordinary home!"
Yun Xingxu clenched his fists, unable to suppress his anger.
Don't let him know who is burying him like this! Otherwise, he will never forgive him!
What Yun Xingxu found most irritating was his altar.
There's nothing on it?
Forget about livestock and domestic animals, there isn't even the most basic millet and rice!
There was only a solitary eternal lamp placed crookedly on top, the flame flickering faintly from time to time, as if it would go out in the next second...
Rebellion!
It's the opposite!
How dare they?!
This was Yun Xingxu's funeral! This was his funeral as the ruler of Daliang!
In their eyes...does he, the late emperor, still exist?!
After taking a few deep breaths, Yun Xingxu pursed his lips and flew to his coffin nervously and quickly.
He looked at his unsophisticated dragon robe and his unadorned face, and the anger in his body suddenly increased, almost making him collapse!
He is the emperor!
He is the emperor!!
Why didn't they even give him this last bit of respect??!
Yun Xingxu was filled with grief and indignation, tilting his head back slightly and closing his eyes fiercely...
Not long after, a slight rustling sound suddenly came into his ears.
Who is it?
Who dares to disturb the mourning hall? !
Yun Xingxu's eyes suddenly darkened, and he immediately followed the suppressed yet crisp sound of collision...
The door of the side hall on the side of the mourning hall was ajar.
He passed through the door, and the scene he saw shocked his soul...
His concubines, who should have been kneeling and weeping in grief, were now sitting in small circles, quietly and cautiously playing mahjong!??
"Bang!" Concubine Rong, who has always been gentle and virtuous, excitedly pushed down the cards in her hand.
But the Concubine Li on the opposite side grabbed her wrist and said, "No! You are cheating!"
"......" Rong Fei lowered her eyes and glanced at her cards. The excitement on her face was quickly replaced by regret.
How come he cheated again?
Really...
Her eyes flickered as she curled her lips unwillingly, "I'll pay you if I cheat! Keep your voice down, little sister. Don't attract the guards outside. It will make things difficult for them later!"
Concubine Li turned the tables and said, "Sister, you have such a bad temper... I don't know who it was just now, thinking he had won the game, so happy... he made even louder noises than I did!"
"Don't worry, sisters," another beauty at the table hurried to smooth things over. "The night is long, and sitting in vigil is truly unbearable... Not only for the guards, but if His Majesty is still in heaven, I believe... I believe he would also understand us sisters."
Someone whispered, "What's the point of understanding? When His Majesty was alive, he never truly understood us... I just hope he goes to hell soon!"
After the words fell, some people chuckled, some made eye contact, and the sounds of talking gradually died down, leaving only the soft sound of cards falling on the table.
Yun Xing Xu: "......"
These bitches! How dare they play around like this beside his coffin?! They all deserve to die!
`(▼皿▼)`...Yun Xingxu was so angry that he was fuming.
What should I do? What should I do?
How should he punish these bitches?
A dream?
Yes, a dream!
He would immediately send a dream to his mother and ask her to issue an order to bury all these unfaithful and disloyal women with him!
Don’t leave any one behind!!
After leaving the side hall, Yun Xingxu roared and headed straight for Shoukang Palace...
But inside the palace, Yun Che and Yun Zhi were heard pushing each other for the throne, neither of them wanting to sit on the dragon throne?
Tsk...how is that possible?
Yun Xingxu couldn't believe it, and it was even harder to understand...
He had killed his father and brother to seize the throne, but now, in the eyes of others, it had become a hot potato?
They must be playing hard to get and pretending to be humble!
It must be like this!!
The Queen Mother was so annoyed by the bickering of her two grandsons that she finally made the final decision after an hour: "Yun Zhi is the blood of the late emperor and is the legitimate heir to the throne."
"???" Yun Zhi was shocked, "Grandma..."
"If you really don't want to, then wait for Yun Lie to return to the capital and discuss it with him, and pass the throne to him!" As soon as the empress dowager finished speaking, she cried out that she felt uncomfortable all over.
Yun Zhi had no choice but to agree: "My grandson can agree to succeed the throne, but the first imperial decree must be to make Yun Che the regent and Tang Bao the crown princess..."
Seeing that the throne was finally inherited, the Queen Mother nodded quickly and said, "As you wish."
