Ji Yun died, only half a day after being attacked, and he died on the emperor's throne!

At this moment, all the people in the Liang Kingdom, including the many forces who had speculated about the emperor's physical condition, and even the common people who did not even know the emperor's name, felt unbearable sadness in their hearts.

This sadness is not directed at the dead emperor, it is simply the last trace of love that Daliang Rendao Longqi has for the remaining warmth of the emperor's life, feeling that he has no one to control his grief and sadness.

Dragon Qi is interconnected with hundreds of millions of subjects. Anyone who is within the territory of Daliang and has a subordinate status with the country "Daliang" will feel the emptiness and powerlessness of Dragon Qi.

This kind of induction cannot be faked, so Ji Yun is definitely dead.

As a native of Liang, after learning the news of the emperor's death, Du Kangqing's tearful face showed a smile of joy, and then immediately turned to grief and said to Yu Feng.

"Eunuch Yu, Your Majesty and I hit it off when we met in Linyuan City. Your Majesty once asked me to teach the prince as a tutor, and I must teach a qualified prince to inherit the throne.

Du Kang was originally a wandering crane in the countryside. He deeply felt that he had neither the ability to expand the territory nor the talent to help the world and govern the people. Therefore, he was unwilling to be conquered by His Majesty, fearing that his virtue would not match his position and he would be unfit for duty.

But now His Majesty has unfortunately passed away. Thinking of the great trust he had placed in his past, Du Kang, although his cultivation is poor and his moral character is shallow, is still willing to give it a try in this difficult time.

Du Kang was willing to use his meager efforts to dedicate himself to his death, to help the world and the country, and he would definitely live up to the late emperor's trust.

It will not be until the new emperor's position is stable that he will succeed and retire in order to repay the kindness of the late emperor."

What Du Kang said was righteousness and justice, but he had another thought in his heart.

Although Ji Yun died earlier than everyone expected, it was not too sudden. After all, he returned to Beijing with a seriously injured body.

According to the tradition of imperial succession, before the emperor dies, the prince and ministers will stay with the emperor. After the old emperor dies, the ministers will immediately pay homage to the new emperor and let him take charge of the country immediately.

But this is only a nominal power. The real source of the emperor's power is not the support of ministers, but the blessing of dragon energy and the dual sacred identities of emperor and emperor.

Such an important identity is naturally not something that can be obtained casually.

The ceremony of ascending the throne to become an emperor takes a month to complete.

This included the emperor's own fasting, the handling of sacrifices, and most importantly, the complex guidance and sorting out of the dragon's energy in the early stages of the ceremony.

You must know that dragon energy is not simply formed by the gathering of human wishes. If it were that simple, the emperor would be an ordinary incense god.

Dragon Qi is a symbol of supreme authority that responds to the destiny of heaven, controls the terrain below, and condenses people's hearts.

Only after the enthronement ceremony is completed, and the heaven, earth, people, ancestors, sun, moon, stars, and gods from all directions are worshiped, and the emperor obtains the dual recognition of the heavenly law and the human emperor in the ceremony, can the dragon energy be brought under the control of the mortal emperor. , to become a true emperor who can wield dragon energy.

Because the inheritance of the emperor's throne took a long time, during the period after the death of the previous emperor and the completion of the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor, the person who was called the emperor by the ministers was essentially just a fake emperor.

All disputes over the throne of the emperor will also begin during the one-month preparation period for the enthronement ceremony, and will be settled after the ceremony is completed.

Taifu is a very good official position, and Du Kang is confident that he can obtain enough benefits for himself in this month of chaos.

It is no longer important why Ji Yun gave Du Kang an official position during his lifetime. Perhaps it was to drag Du Kang to Liang Guo and plot a coup for his successor; perhaps he was worried about the situation in the court after his death and wanted to help him

The heir gathered a helping hand...

Du Kang didn't care about any of this, because the worst outcome was for the calligrapher to die once.

Yu Feng didn't know that Du Kang had so many thoughts. He was deeply moved by what Du Kang said. After wiping the tears on his jade face, he took out a golden imperial edict from the jade bracelet on his wrist and was about to declare it immediately.

"The Taifu is loyal to state affairs, cares about the great beams, and his moral character is admirable. Your Majesty is indeed right about the person."

Just as Yu Feng was about to open the imperial edict, the virtuous Taifu Du snatched the imperial edict from his hand, opened the scroll-shaped imperial edict with his own hands and said.

"Dukang accepted the order."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire text in the imperial edict began to emit golden light, and a green and purple talisman flew out from the text and shot straight towards Du Kang's forehead, but he caught it in his hand.

This talisman struggled and trembled, trying desperately to integrate into Du Kang's body, but the wheel of wish behind Du Kang slowly and firmly rotated. Under the suppression of the majestic force of wish, it finally turned into a golden seal (li).

's big seal.

[Name]: Seal of Taifu

Grade: top grade

characteristic:

Assistant to Chao Gang: The seals of the Three Lords and the Queen Mother's seal can work together to drive dragon energy.

This is just the three masters, who discuss the Tao and govern the country, and manage Yin and Yang. Officials are not necessary, but their people.

The Grand Master, the Grand Tutor, the Grand Protector, and the Three Dukes are not permanent officials, nor are they required to be present in full. Only when there is no one to take charge of the Dragon Qi temporarily can a country have all the Three Dukes.

Du Kang brought the golden seal to his eyes. The seal was pierced with turtle buttons and had a golden seal with the four seal characters "Tai Fu Bao Seal" engraved on it.

This seal looks unremarkable. If they didn't know it in advance, who would have thought that it represents part of the authority to control the dragon's energy.

"The Taifu's heart to serve the country is really anxious."

The Celestial Beings were originally a service race created by a powerful being, and were born with the ability to borrow power from the strong men they served. As the emperor's personal attendant, Yu Feng was deeply affected by the dragon's energy, and recovered from grief relatively slowly.

After Du Kang snatched away the imperial edict, he barely woke up from the sadness of Ji Yun's death, but he still couldn't control his emotions and said some ridiculing words to Du Kang.

Until he saw that Du Kang looked at him with a somewhat unkind look, he suppressed the sadness in his heart and said.

"This is the seal of the Grand Tutor, the seal and ribbon of the first rank of the Daliang Dynasty. If you get it, you will be able to be a highly respected minister and have the power to assist Zuo Chaogang with the Gonggun princes!

I am a servant named Yu Feng who is a member of the third rank of the Imperial Court, and I have met the Grand Tutor here."

Then, Yu Feng bowed slightly and bowed to Du Kang to express his respect and surrender.

As an evergreen tree that never fails, Yu Feng knew very well that the situation in which the three princes of the DPRK and China coexisted would not be maintained for a long time.

Once the new emperor ascends the throne, under the instinctive sense of crisis of human nature, he will inevitably restore the missing position of the three princes and enjoy the exclusive right to control the dragon energy.

Since the Taishi and the Taibao are the two leaders of the Wusheng Cult and the Rakshasa Cult respectively, and the Queen Mother is her own mother and cannot be replaced, Du Kang's position as Taifu will most likely only last for one month.

This man will not be proud for long. If he dares to show his shame now, he will definitely die miserably when his official position is dismissed by the emperor.

The thoughts of heaven and humans are like those of demons lurking in the abyss. Du Kang could not overhear Yu Feng's thoughts, but he naturally helped him up and said.

"You are so polite, Changshi Yu. I am new to the officialdom and I don't understand the rules and personnel of the officialdom. I need you to give me some advice."

Xue'er, who had watched the entire process of receiving the decree, snorted coldly and said to Du Kang.

"You are so greedy and greedy that you may be free and easy for a while, but sooner or later you will stumble due to greed.

It seems that I was right to listen to my family and divorce you. It would be better for you and me never to meet each other."

Xue'er jumped into the air and flew towards the Bibo Dragon Palace, apparently leaving after confirming Du Kang's safety.

Taoist Crow immediately spread his wings and chased after him, leaving Taoist Shu alone to continue talking with Yu Feng.

The advantage of having many clones is that you won’t be delayed in anything you do.

Looking at the two retreating figures, one black and one white, Yu Feng's eyes wandered and he said with a smile.

"Master Du only sent one clone to chase her. It seems very insincere. This will not make your wife happy."

Du Kang hung the Taifu Baoyin on his waist, shook his head and said.

"Today is different from the past. I am already the esteemed Tutor and a minister assisting Zuo Chao Gang. I don't have time to be busy coaxing my wife every day. Changshi Yu should tell me about the current situation in the court."

Naturally, Du Kang would not tell a eunuch who had just met him recently and whose position was unclear about his affair at the wedding, so he just laughed and avoided the topic.

Yu Feng also knew enough not to ask any more questions. He glanced at the Taifu Baoyin on Du Kang's waist and suggested.

"Since the Grand Tutor wants me to talk about the imperial court, I will first talk about the official seal of the imperial court.

The official seals of our dynasty can be integrated into the officials' Yinshen and blend with their lives. In this case, the officials can be nourished by the official Qi derived from the differentiation of dragon Qi, which will have the effects of being invulnerable to all evils, prolonging life, and improving cultivation.

.

In my dynasty, it was a custom for officials to blend in with the official seal. The Taifu hung the Taifu Seal around his waist, but he missed out on the benefits of being an official.

Only three people in the entire Liang Dynasty can enjoy this honor as a first-grade official, so it would be a pity to waste it."

Du Kang didn't have the habit of putting things into Yin Shen casually. He shook his head and declined this seemingly well-intentioned suggestion and continued to ask.

"Before Changshi Yu sets out, has your Majesty decided who will be the crown prince?"

Yu Feng blinked, stared at Du Kang and said.

"Before I set out, His Majesty intended to appoint the second prince he loves most as the crown prince. However, the power of the second prince's mother's family is weak. In my humble opinion, if the second prince becomes the crown prince, there may be some twists and turns in the succession..."

Hearing this, Du Kang anxiously patted his knee and said anxiously.

"Then we should set off as soon as possible. Your Majesty asked me to be the Tutor so that I can help the country. If something happens to the second prince, how can I, Du Kang, live up to your Majesty's entrustment?"

"Has the Grand Tutor ever met the Second Prince?"

"Never!"

"Then why does Taifu support him?"

"You are wrong. The one I support is not the second prince, but the prince appointed by His Majesty during his lifetime. I will support whoever Your Majesty decides."

Seeing that Du Kang was a scheming person, Yu Feng planned to speak more clearly.

"Now that His Majesty has passed away, the capital is undercurrent and the battle is at its most intense.

Lord Du, have you ever thought about avoiding the limelight first and waiting for the situation in the capital to take shape and the princes to compete for the real crown prince, before he can fulfill his duties as Tai Tu?

In this way, you can gain the power of following the dragon without risking failure in your bet, so why wouldn't Taifu do it?"

After a brief period of sadness under the influence of dragon energy, Yu Feng still cared more about his own life and wanted to persuade Du Kang to postpone his return to the capital.

The air seemed to freeze for an instant, and the two stared at each other. After a brief silence, Du Kang suddenly burst into laughter.
To be continued...
