The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Yan Huang failed to survive this cold winter.

Once he died, what would happen to the situation in Yan Kingdom was a matter of great concern to Xiao Rui. Yan Linglong's own safety and what Yan Xifeng will do are not something that Xiao Rui, who is thousands of miles away, can dispatch at any time.

He immediately called Wang Dazhi, and asked him to send a message immediately, so that the spies stationed in the capital of Yan Kingdom should always pay attention to the situation of Princess Zhenguo, and pass on the news at any time.

At the same time, arrange for the military town stationed at Xiayan border to stand ready. Since the Marquis of Zhenyuan was transferred to Anxi Fourteen Prefectures, only 20,000 people were stationed in the military town at the border. If something happened to Yan Linglong, this amount of troops would be of no avail. Commanders and envoys from other prefectures had to be assembled. And the distance is too far, and you have to cross the Yanjiang River, which is beyond your reach.

So Xiao Rui was very worried, now he could only look at Yan Linglong's layout.

What happened to Yandu at this time?

 …

Before Emperor Yan passed away, he was dying in the middle of the night. The situation was very bad. The Chief Physician secretly informed the Chief Eunuch about the situation. The Chief Eunuch did not dare to delay, and immediately sent someone to invite the Crown Prince, Princess Zhen Guo and the governors of the three provinces.

When the person who was supposed to come was due, it was already midnight.

Emperor Yan was very weak and his eyes were blurred. When Yan Linglong, Yan Xifeng and three important ministers entered the palace and knelt in front of the dragon bed to visit, he turned his head with difficulty, and he didn't even have the strength to speak.

In the end, he could only use his last strength to barely raise his left hand, pointing to the brocade box on the desk, and then the raised hand fell down suddenly, without breath.

Emperor Yan is dead!

Yan Linglong knelt by the bed and wailed loudly, and the three important ministers who had the power of prime minister also prostrated themselves on the ground with grief-stricken faces.

Yan Xifeng's performance was beyond everyone's expectations.

He stared blankly at Emperor Yan who had passed away on the bed, his eyes were red, and he roared: "Impossible, impossible! How could he die! How could he die! I'm going to kill you quack doctors!"

The furious Yan Xifeng stood up, snatched the saber worn by the imperial guards, and then slashed the chief physician.

After killing all the people, Yan Xifeng sat down in the hall with a blank expression on his face.

Was he distraught because of the death of his father?

No.

He is because Emperor Yan is dead, but he has not yet destroyed this country, let him watch with his own eyes the throne that was acquired by all means is destroyed in his hands, and let him become a king of subjugation!

Why did he die before his wish was fulfilled?

Yan Linglong's eyes were red, she knew Yan Xifeng's true face, and naturally she also knew the reason for his current appearance. On the contrary, the three important ministers were very pleased. Although the crown prince had made some mischief, his filial piety was evident. Look at his distraught mood, it came from the heart, not a disguise.

At this time, outside the hall, the internal officials were shouting: "Your Majesty has passed away!"

The voice came out from the bedroom and out of the palace, announcing it to the world. At this time in the east, the sky was just getting bright, and the orange-red sun burst into brilliant colors.

At this time, Xu Xiao, a servant under the door, comforted: "His Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness, Your Majesty pointed to the brocade box before he passed away. There must be a will in the box. I suggest that you please issue the will, establish a new monarch early, and stabilize the situation in Yan."

The Zhongshu ordered Wei Song to say: "Yes, the country cannot be without a king for a day, or please issue a will to establish a new king as soon as possible."

Yan Linglong nodded, then wiped away her tears, looked at Yan Xifeng, and asked, "What does the prince think?"

Yan Xifeng woke up from his anger, nodded, and said, "Follow the rules!"

As he said that, he got up and left. Wei Song and Xu Xiao wanted to stop him, but Yan Linglong stopped him, allowing Yan Xifeng to leave the palace and return to the palace.

At the back of the crown prince's womb, there is a desolate courtyard with a dry well. Usually no one drives in here, only the prince can enter, so it is very deserted and overgrown with weeds.

He walked to the dry well in a daze, sat down by the dry well, rested his head on the dry well, and couldn't help crying.

"Mother..."

"Mother..."

At this moment, Yan Xifeng is like a child lost from his mother, helpless and pitiful.

Back then, Emperor Yan coveted the crown prince's position. In order to win the crown prince's position from the crown prince, he deliberately designed the crown prince to violate the princess, and then personally shot the princess into a dry well, pretending to commit suicide.

When the first emperor learned of the prince's bad behavior, he was furious, cut off the prince's position, and imprisoned the clan mansion.

Although Yan Xifeng was small back then, he witnessed all this with his own eyes, so he hated Emperor Yan. In order to avenge Emperor Yan, he wanted to destroy the country with his own hands, making him a subjugated king, and letting the throne he had worked so hard to obtain in his past be in his hands. Hands collapsed.

Who knows... After all, the revenge was not completed.

So Yan Xifeng seemed to have lost his life goal and was at a loss.

Poor people must have hateful things, and similarly, hateful people must have suffered pitifully in the past.

As the news of Emperor Yan's death spread throughout Yandu City, the people cried out in mourning, mourning from top to bottom, every family began to post white papers to express condolences, all restaurants and brothels on the street dared not open, and the people also wore plain clothes Colored clothes, stay at home.

The unscrupulous people patrolling the streets were dressed in military uniforms, with white mourning belts tied on their heads, and strictly patrolled the state capital. The new king has not yet been established, and now no one dares to take it lightly.

At this time in the imperial palace, all civil and military officials had gathered at the Meridian Gate, and then entered the palace one after another, kneeling outside the palace, waiting for the reading of the will.

In the bedroom, the three important ministers and Yan Linglong came to the desk. The eunuch in charge opened the brocade box by himself, and there were indeed the edicts inside, but to his surprise, there were two copies of the edicts!

Xu Xiao, a servant under the door, asked suspiciously: "Eunuch Sun, are these two copies left by His Majesty?"

The eunuch in charge nodded, and said: "The above is an edict to announce to the world, the content is to select a new monarch. The following edict is left by His Majesty to Her Royal Highness Princess Pingyang of Zhenguo, and ordered the slaves to be in the position of the three adults. In front of you, face to face publicity!"

Yan Linglong didn't know the content of the will, and Yan Huang's death was beyond her expectations. At this time, she was also very anxious, not knowing how to carry out the follow-up plan. Qiye is too young, only two and a half years old, Yanxi Feng is still there, so is it possible to directly push Qiye to the top?

"I accept the order!" Yan Linglong knelt down to accept the order after regaining her senses.

The three veteran ministers also knelt down to receive the order.

Eunuch Sun took out the second posthumous edict and read: "By the heavens, the emperor is in charge, and the Zhao said: Zhen Guo Pingyang Princess Yan Linglong, Shu Shen, noble and thrifty, Yong and pure, dunmu Jiaren, entrusted with 100,000 households in Shiyi, The fiefdoms of Beijiang County, Beihai County, and Xu County. The 60,000 Feather Banner Army is a private army in the fiefdom, and is not subject to the imperial court's dispatch. It can only be called after the new emperor ascends the throne. This!"

Yan Linglong was stunned. This turned out to be His Majesty's will to seal her. It not only increased the number of food towns to an astonishing 100,000 households, but also sealed the three counties in the northernmost part of Yan Kingdom and bordering Da Xia as her fiefs. . What is even more astonishing is that the Feather Banner Army is a private army. The Feather Banner Army is not only the guard camp outside the city of Yandu, but also the most important force to protect the safety of Yandu. .

With fiefs and soldiers, is this forcing Yan Linglong to usurp the throne?

The three important ministers looked at each other.

At this time, Eunuch Sun said: "Your Highness, when His Majesty the late Emperor was dying, let the servants tell His Highness to help the Emperor and grandson. He is the future hope of the Yan Kingdom!"

Yan Linglong immediately understood that the reason why her father arranged these things was actually to prepare for the emperor's grandson, not for Yan Linglong to usurp the throne!

The three important ministers also immediately understood His Majesty's intentions. It is not so easy for Yan Linglong to usurp the throne and become the empress. And the last paragraph of the decree can only be invoked after the new emperor ascends the throne. This alone prevents Yan Linglong from usurping the throne.

Your Majesty rewarded these, the fundamental reason is to let her help the emperor grow up, Yan Changqing was praised by the Emperor Yan as a good grandson, it is the hope of the future of the country of Yan, and to ensure that the emperor and grandson can inherit the great rule in the future, Yan Linglong holds Your strength is the greatest guarantee.

"My son accepts the order and will definitely support the growth of the emperor and grandson, please rest assured father!" Yan Linglong accepted the order to thank her.

Afterwards, Eunuch Sun took out the first imperial edict again, and said: "Your Highness, three lords, this is the edict to enshrine the new emperor, all civil and military officials have already entered the palace to wait."

Yan Linglong said: "Go and invite the prince, establish a new king early, and stabilize the situation."

Afterwards, everyone walked out of the bedroom.

The Imperial Army also invited Yan Xifeng over. His eyes were red and he had a blank expression on his face, as if he had lost his purpose in life.

Afterwards, all civil and military officials knelt down to listen to the decree, and the eunuch in charge read out the will. The content was very simple, and the crown prince Yan Xifeng was registered as the new king to inherit the great rule!

Although Emperor Yan already knew that Yan Xifeng was doing wrong, he could only make Yan Xifeng the crown prince, and his son would inherit his father's business. It was impossible for him to skip Yan Xifeng and directly appoint the emperor's grandson Yan Changqing.

The decree was promulgated, and the officials kowtowed to the new emperor.

The next step is to select an auspicious day and hold the enthronement ceremony as soon as possible to establish the position. Then the new emperor honored the former emperor and the concubines of the harem, and offered sacrifices to heaven and earth, formally welcoming the former emperor's spiritual throne into the Taimiao.

The emperor's death and burial is estimated to be cumbersome, and it will be impossible to do it in ten days and half a month. Today is just the beginning.

After Yan Linglong returned to the Princess Mansion, she was exhausted physically and mentally, and suddenly felt dizzy and fainted, which frightened the people in the Princess Mansion.

When Yan Linglong woke up, she saw her son falling asleep beside her, her eyes were swollen from crying and stained with tears.

Huazheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Your Highness, you have finally woken up!"

"What's wrong with me? What's wrong with Qiye?" Yan Linglong felt dizzy.

Huazheng explained: "You were overwhelmed by grief and exhausted mentally, which caused you to fall into a coma. When Shizi saw you in a coma, he was so frightened that he wept loudly. No amount of comfort was of any use, and finally he fell asleep beside you."

Yan Linglong nodded, looked at her son with pity, and couldn't help but want to cry.

The mother and concubine passed away early, and the father and emperor also passed away. Apart from the son, there is really no relatives.

But she held back, because she still had a lot to do next. Qin Tianjian and the Ministry of Rites have already selected a few days, and the new emperor will ascend the throne three days later.

And once Yan Xifeng takes the throne, what will be the situation of Yan Kingdom?

This was what Yan Linglong was most worried about.
