Chapter 179: Life experience! Orphan! The death of the old emperor!
"Did you hear about it? Yesterday, there was a fierce ascetic from other places who knocked down all the walls of the imperial city! I even went over to take a look, dear, a long section of the wall collapsed."
Fan Wu was walking on the road when he heard people discussing heatedly.
"Hiss! Is it true? The city wall must be at least ten feet thick, right? It must be quite a few feet high, right? Was it really knocked down?"
"Why did I lie to you? If you don't believe it, you can go and take a look for yourself. You will know after you go and take a look."
"It shouldn't be false! After all, I heard in other places that many people were discussing this matter. And have you heard about it? Also yesterday, the Fu family in the Imperial City was killed, and the entire Fu family was directly It was razed to the ground!!”
"The Fu family in the Imperial City? Which Fu family? The Imperial City is so big, there must be several big and small families named Fu!"
"It's the biggest Fu family. Have you heard of the iron ticket to avoid death? It's the Fu family who has the iron ticket to avoid death. They encountered a big problem. I heard that many people died."
"Ah...why do you guys make your words more outrageous than the last?!"
"Yes, that's the Fu family!"
"..."
Fan Wu could hear that the things these people were talking about were nothing more than the two things he did yesterday. Unknowingly, he became the focus of the imperial city.
However, these people only knew that someone knocked down the walls of the imperial city, until someone almost completely wiped out the Fu family.
But I don’t know who this kind of person is.
Therefore, Fan Wu, who was walking on the streets of the Imperial City, only attracted a little attention and did not cause any unusual sensation.
The main reason why he attracted a little attention was that he was too tall, he was leading a cow, and there was a strange thing behind his back.
In order to make the Tianji Coffin not so eye-catching.
Fan Wu used another layer of black cloth to wrap the Tianji coffin.
Then, he held it with a rope.
In this way, in the eyes of a group of common people, the Tianji coffin that can walk on its own is the old green cow pulling it.
It seems very reasonable.
It won't cause any commotion.
As time went by, Fan Wu had visited several places called "Fuyuan Pawn Shop". This was one that his liar master mentioned in the letter he wrote before his death. A pawn shop in the imperial city.
It's already afternoon.
Fan Wu looked at the plaque in front of him, lowered his head slightly, and then slowly entered the pawn shop in front of him.
This pawn shop in front of me...
Also called Fuyuan Pawn Shop.
"Do you know what you are talking about? These are disrespectful words!" In the pawn shop, an old shopkeeper was scolding the waiter: "What you just said, if any young master of the Fu family hears what you said just now, …”
Having said this, the old shopkeeper pointed his finger at the head of the waiter, gritting his teeth and said: "Then even I will be implicated by you!"
"I already paid double the rent to them a few days ago, and I don't want to pay double the rent again because of your words!"
"Even...eh?"
When he said this, the old shopkeeper suddenly noticed that the light in the pawn shop had dimmed. When he turned his head and looked in the direction of the door, he saw an extremely burly figure blocking the outside of the door.
light.
"hiss!!!"
Fan Wu, who had a strong back and strong waist, obviously frightened the old shopkeeper, especially since Fan Wu had a sword on his back, which was even more intimidating.
"This... this guest..." The old shopkeeper swallowed secretly and said to Fan Wu: "Excuse me, what do you want to do? Guest, do you want to pawn something or buy something?"
Some pawned items in pawn shops are dead pawns, which means that the person who exchanged these items for money will never redeem them for money again.
These pawned items will be sold by pawn shops.
"About twenty-three years ago, or twenty-two years ago, did your pawn shop receive a jade pendant?" Fan Wu did not talk too much nonsense to them.
He straight to the point stated the purpose of his coming.
"Twenty-two years ago? Twenty-three years ago?" The shopkeeper, who looked older, fell into a state of brain shutdown, because that was not an ordinary period of time.
He seriously doubted whether the big man in front of him was here to cause trouble. Who could remember such a long time ago?
If you want to find such an old item, you have to dig out the account books from more than 20 years ago, and then you have to search page by page.
He originally wanted to refuse directly.
After all, in his eyes, Fan Wu was just a person, no matter how tall and burly he was. There was a government office near their pawn shop, and that government office was less than half a cup of tea away from here. He didn't believe there were any thieves.
, dare to take action in such a place.
However, before those words of rejection could be spoken, they were blocked by the waiter who had been scolded by him before.
Moreover, the waiter in the shop very roughly used his hands to cover the mouth of the elderly shopkeeper.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" The old shopkeeper broke the waiter's hand away with all his strength, then glared at him angrily and said through gritted teeth: "What are you doing? Do you want to rebel?!"
"Huh?" But he soon noticed that the guy in his store had something wrong with his expression.
The old shopkeeper frowned and said, "Why do you look so weak and sweat so much?"
"Hush! Hush!"
The waiter was frightened out of his mind. Without saying a word, he took the old shopkeeper's hand and pulled him behind him. Then he lowered his voice and said, "Shopkeeper, please don't talk nonsense in front of this person.
!”
"What do you mean?" The old shopkeeper was puzzled, but seeing how cautious the waiter was, he couldn't help but lower his voice like the waiter: "Do you know this person?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "I don't know... but, but I have seen him!" The waiter in the shop said with a look of horror on his face: "Do you remember what I just said to you?
You said, I saw something big happened to the Fu family yesterday?"
The shopkeeper was stunned: "Remember... isn't this your kid's nonsense?"
The waiter was about to burst into tears: "Shopkeeper, you also know that I am timid. How dare I make up such a story? How dare I make up the Fu family? What I said is what I saw with my own eyes!"
"What?!" The shopkeeper almost jumped.
If what the waiter just said was not half-false, doesn't it mean that the Imperial City Fu family, which has been operating in the Imperial City for thousands of years, has really become history?
Is it really possible that such an incredible thing, such an unimaginable thing could happen?
The old shopkeeper was confused!
"Shopkeeper, if you really don't believe it... Later, you can go outside and find a few people to inquire about it. There were a lot of people who saw these things at that time!"
The waiter explained: "So many people have seen that such a big thing happened to the Fu family. Such a thing will definitely spread around soon!"
"This..." Hearing the waiter's assurance, the old shopkeeper secretly swallowed his saliva. He already believed it 70%.
"What about this person?" The old shopkeeper glanced at Fan Wu who was standing at the gate without leaving any trace.
The waiter said hurriedly: "That's this guy, that's the guy! I saw with my own eyes yesterday that this guy came out of the Fu family. He must have something to do with the demise of the Fu family!"
Shopkeeper: “!!!!”
The elderly shopkeeper of the pawn shop no longer knew what words to use to describe his current mood.
He has lived in the imperial city for several decades and has some connections. What kind of storms does he think he has not seen?
But today he discovered that he had never seen the current storm in the Imperial City of Zhou Dynasty.
The Fu family... The Fu family was destroyed?!
Is this extremely tall and burly man in front of me inextricably linked to the demise of the Fu family?
The old shopkeeper took a deep breath.
He actually wanted to blow this mysterious big man away just now?
Doesn't that mean that I just walked around in front of the hell gate of the underworld?!
If the waiter in the pawn shop hadn't covered his mouth in a hurry, the trouble might have come from his mouth!
That is to say...
I saved a small life!
Thousands of shocking thoughts flashed through his mind, and the face of the elderly pawn shop owner suddenly changed several times, and soon he put on a very bright smile.
This bright smile even carries a bit of humility and a bit of flattery.
He turned around and walked towards Fan Wu.
Rubbing his hands together, he said to Fan Wu: "My lord, the hand you are talking about is twenty-two years old, or is it a jade pendant from twenty-three years ago? My dear, I will dig it out for you, my lord!"
Finished.
He looked at the waiter: "What are you still doing? Hurry up and look for it with me. First, dig out all the account books from more than 20 years ago!"
"Ah? Oh! Oh!" The waiter nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
One shopkeeper and one waiter.
Searching around in the small pawn shop took almost 120% of energy, and both of them were sweating profusely.
But no one dares to slack off.
Because now they all know how terrifying the man in front of them is.
It has something to do with the destruction of the Fu family yesterday, and he still dared to walk around casually in broad daylight.
Such a character...
Really scary!
At least... they are definitely not someone ordinary people from the Imperial City like them can afford to offend.
"Huh?" I don't know how long I had been searching, but the pawn shop owner was already a little dazzled. But at this moment, he suddenly let out a soft "huh".
He curiously asked: "Sir... Your Excellency, is the jade pendant you mentioned made of fifty taels of silver? And the person who came here promised this jade pendant... After twenty-three years,
Will you redeem it at ten times the price?”
The shopkeeper's eyes widened. Why didn't he have any impression of such a thing?
You know, ten times fifty taels of silver, that’s five hundred taels of silver!
I should be very sensitive to such a large number.
But the things that I have no memory of are written on this account book...
Weird!
Could it be that I am really too old?
So that few things that happened more than 20 years ago can be recalled?
The pawn shop owner was lost in thought.
"Yes." It wasn't until Fan Wu's voice that the shopkeeper woke up from a dream: "It should be this jade pendant. Is the person who pawned this jade pendant surnamed Fan?"
The shopkeeper took a closer look at the records in the account book: "It seems that the surname is indeed Fan, with only one name and one ear!"
Fan Er, that’s right.
This name is indeed Fan Wu's cheap liar master.
"This is a five hundred tael silver note." Fan Wu placed a silver note on the counter of the pawn shop, then looked at the old shopkeeper and said, "The jade pendant should still be there, right?"
The shopkeeper tremblingly collected the banknotes because when Fan Wu asked such a question.
The pawn shop owner could feel an amazing sense of oppression.
Even the ascetics of the Fu family had never given him such a huge sense of oppression.
"Yes! Still there!" Long-lasting memories began to flood into the pawn shop owner's mind, and he didn't know why he remembered these things at this time.
He only knew that he should quickly take out the jade pendant and send this man away as soon as possible.
"Sir, please wait a moment!" The shopkeeper ran into a room in the pawn shop.
There was the sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets inside, and it sounded like he was in a great hurry.
Probably half the wait.
He came out.
He was holding a very simple box in his hand. It was an ordinary wooden box, and even had some mildew spots on it because it was too old.
The pawn shop owner tried his best to wipe off the mold spots on it, but there was no way he could get rid of it. The mold spots had almost become integrated with the wooden box.
"Sir, here... for you!" The pawn shop owner hurriedly defended: "I don't know why I forgot this box."
"It's okay." Fan Wu took it and squeezed it gently.
Click——
The wooden box was crushed directly by him.
The pawn shop owner and waiter were stunned by this scene. They touched their heads in unison and shuddered all over.
"Um?"
When a pure white jade pendant fell on Fan Wu's palm, Fan Wu could feel the faint cold feeling it brought. The jade pendant seemed to be emitting some strange fluctuations, letting Fan Wu know that it was definitely nothing ordinary.
Jade pendant!
There are also characters engraved on the jade pendant. To be honest, Fan Wu didn't recognize any of these characters.
But I don’t know what the reason is.
He actually understood it!
It was precisely because Fan Wu understood that he had a strange look on his face. Then he looked at the pawn shop owner: "Can you see the words engraved on it?"
The shopkeeper boldly took a closer look and found that the jade pendant was smooth and smooth with no writing on it.
He shook his head blankly, indicating that he didn't see anything.
"Tsk..."
Fan Wu held the jade pendant and murmured: "It seems that the old emperor was right. I am really not from the Zhou Dynasty!"
In Fan Wu's sight, there were some small characters engraved on the jade pendant - Shangwu Dynasty, Prince Fan Yin, eldest son.
no name.
Only identity.
Fan Wu doesn't particularly care about which dynasty he belongs to. After all, no matter how special his original identity is, what does it have to do with him? He, Daochang Fan, has always been a time traveler. To put it harshly,
He can also be regarded as an extraterrestrial demon.
However, if he can smell the smell of free attribute points in it, then he, Daoist Fan, will be very concerned about it.
What does this jade pendant mean?
What does it demonstrate?
Does it mean that he is the prince of a certain dynasty, an abandoned child?
That’s not right either…
If the identity is so simple, why can't the City God of Yinghe Prefecture and the judge of the Zhou Dynasty fail to recognize it?
It can't be possible, because there are also different service areas between the City God and the judge, right? Since his identity is not a subject of the Zhou Dynasty, it goes beyond the recognition of the two of them?
The information you are consulting is not in this service area...
Don’t have permission to consult?
Fan Wu raised his eyebrows. He looked down at the shopkeeper again and asked, "Have you ever heard of the Shangwu Dynasty?"
The shopkeeper was stunned: "Shang...Wu Dynasty? It seems a bit familiar!"
He thought carefully, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he immediately woke up and said: "This seems to be a dynasty that is quite far away from the Great Zhou Dynasty, right? If I remember correctly, it should be to the south of the Great Zhou Dynasty?
"
The shopkeeper shook his head blankly: "This kind of dynasty is too far away from the Great Zhou Dynasty. It's so far away that I don't know if any merchants from that dynasty will come to our Great Zhou Dynasty to do business."
"I don't know much about it. I have only read a few words about the Shangwu Dynasty in some travel books."
As he spoke, he told what he knew.
The Shangwu Dynasty was located further south to the south of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
There is at least one dynasty between them.
It is said that it was a very powerful dynasty. No one knows how powerful it was. Anyway, some books say so. The writing of this dynasty is different from that of the Zhou Dynasty, but I heard that the words spoken are
almost the same.
Maybe the accents spoken between the two dynasties are a little different, so if you speak quickly you should be able to understand.
That's all the pawn shop owner knew.
He doesn't know any more.
"Thank you." Fan Wu thanked him, took the jade pendant and left without disturbing the two people in the pawn shop.
After watching Fan Wu leave, both the elderly shopkeeper of the pawn shop and the waiter looked relieved.
They all breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
A big stone weighing on my heart.
Finally it disappeared.
"Good boy..." The pawn shop owner was holding a banknote worth five hundred taels. He found that the sweat from his palms almost made the banknote wet. He was so frightened that he quickly spread the banknote.
, and then blow hard to try to dry it.
After blowing it several times, he wiped the sweat that had overflowed from his forehead and muttered to himself: "It's the first time I've seen such a scary person. Just listening to him talk gave me a feeling that I'm about to feel like I'm going to die."
The oppressive feeling of being out of breath.”
He no longer doubted whether there was any necessary connection between Fan Wu and the suspected destruction of the Fu family.
With this terrifying feeling, he dared to conclude that only such a person could be related to such a thing!
…
"Shangwu Dynasty..." This was the second time the old emperor of the Zhou Dynasty met Fan Wu. He murmured these four words and couldn't help but ask: "Why do you want to ask about this dynasty?"
Fan Wu briefly told another reason why he came to the imperial city, and also talked about what happened at the pawn shop, but he did not reveal the identity on the jade pendant.
He just informed the current emperor of the Zhou Dynasty of the four words "Shangwu Dynasty" on the jade pendant.
"Oh?" The old emperor suddenly nodded: "No wonder I can't see that you have the blood of the Great Zhou Dynasty. I'm sorry you are indeed not a citizen of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but a member of the Shangwu Dynasty."
He explained: "Most seriously, I don't really want to admit it, but I have to say that the Shangwu Dynasty was much larger than the Zhou Dynasty. Its territory was vast, almost ten times that of the Zhou Dynasty."
"I remember that the royal family name of the Shangwu Dynasty was Fan, which is exactly the same as yours. Their dynasty existed even longer than the Zhou Dynasty."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Even the Zhou Dynasty plus the previous dynasties are not as old as the Shang Wu Dynasty."
Speaking of which.
The old emperor continued: "I can ask someone to give you some books to read that record this dynasty, or I can ask someone to give you a map to read. If you want to go back one day, you can use the record to read it.
To live in things, avoid going astray."
The old emperor did not consider Fan Wu's identity to the royal family of the Shangwu Dynasty. After all, there were too many people with the surname Fan in the world.
Even in the Zhou Dynasty, there are estimated to be millions of people with the surname Fan.
"Thank you." Fan Wu thanked him, thought for a moment, and asked, "Are you ready?"
"Huh?" The old emperor was stunned: "What preparations?"
Fan Wu glanced at the opponent's [Life] attribute, and he directly pointed it out, saying: "Yesterday, you spent a lot of energy cleaning up the dirt on Prince Nan's body, right?"
The old emperor was silent.
a long time.
He smiled casually: "My grandson can't see it, and my son can't see it either. When I went to court today, none of the ministers or generals in the court could see it."
"I didn't expect that it was an outsider like you who could see it at a glance."
The old emperor sighed with emotion: "The existence of my good grandson who bewitched me is a bit beyond my expectation. But it doesn't matter, after all, he has lived for so long."
"You can't just stick to this position and never come down, right? Hahaha! I have already made some preparations, but sometimes people are unpredictable."
"Just like more than thirty years ago, I never thought that one of my grandsons would actually want to kill my father and brothers."
"Soon, the palace may... fall into chaos. But I believe that the prince will handle it well."
Fan Wu said calmly: "Perhaps, it's not just the imperial palace that will fall into chaos. Don't you think that Dazhou has reached a point now. Once this point is broken, things will become big."
All the way from Qiulongguan to the Imperial City of Zhou Dynasty.
What Fan Wu saw and heard along the way can prove that the current Zhou Dynasty... has become like a decadent old man like the old emperor.
The Great Zhou Dynasty has not yet become completely chaotic. Fan Wu thinks it is because of this old emperor who is still holding on.
The old emperor was very intimidating.
It was so big that just by relying on the intimidating power of an emperor, he was enough to hold up this rotten and broken ship.
"I am only one person after all." The old emperor shook his head and said, "I am not a god. To be able to do this at the last moment is the limit of what I can do."
"Posterity can say that I was a foolish king. At the last moment, I only cared about my own blood relatives and my family's throne. I didn't care about the world or the people of Li."
"It doesn't matter. I am just such a bad emperor. My ability is limited to this."
"Whatever they like to say."
"Just say it!"
In fact, there were only two people in the palace, Fan Wu and the old emperor. Their voices were not particularly loud, and the maids, guards and eunuchs outside could not hear what was being said inside.
Fan Wu continued to stay inside for half a stick of incense, and continued to communicate with the old emperor for a while.
Just left.
Before walking out of the palace, Fan Wu paused for half a breath and said without looking back: "I may stay in the imperial city for a while longer. But since you asked me, then
Just be mentally prepared.”
Inside the palace.
The old emperor's voice of gratitude came out: "Thank you so much, Master Fan Wu. I'm mentally prepared... I don't need to do anything."
"Okay." After saying that, Fan Wu left under the gazes of all the eunuchs, maids, and guards who looked at him with doubtful eyes.
Moreover, with the promise given by the old emperor.
Fan Wu received some conveniences from the Imperial Palace of Zhou Dynasty.
He read some books in the palace.
I also looked at a map.
It only took him less than half a day to memorize these things.
It's already dark.
Fan Wu closed an ancient book and put it back on a solid wood bookshelf.
"The Shangwu Dynasty is worth a visit." Fan Wu's face was full of expectations. He had no expectations for his identity, and it didn't matter that he was an orphan of the prince.
But he could smell the free attribute points from this identity, and this alone was enough for him to leave for the Shangwu Dynasty.
What if we encounter any danger on the way? What if we encounter any enemies in the Shangwu Dynasty?
if that is the case……
That’s great!
"So, what is the identity of my liar master?" Just as he finished these words, Fan Wu narrowed his eyes slightly and took out the jade pendant from his arms.
There is a faint radiance blooming on the jade pendant, which looks like a luminous stone.
Fan Wu could also see something else appearing on the jade pendant - it was not words, but a simple carving.
It's so crude that it's a bit like a child's graffiti.
Fan Wu could tell at a glance that this must be the handiwork of his, the liar master.
Although, this carving is very abstract.
But Fan Wu could still recognize what the painting was.
This is……
Prisoner of the Dragon!
…
the next day.
early morning.
Fan Wu is still temporarily living in the palace of the Zhou Dynasty. He is probably the only one who can use a palace as an inn.
Fan Wu was awakened by the sound of crying all over the palace. He knew what the sound of crying meant... what happened.
The old emperor of the Zhou Dynasty.
Died!!!
Yesterday, Fan Wu saw that the opponent's [Life] attribute had dropped to an extremely alarming level. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the old emperor was like a candle in the wind. Maybe the wind would be stronger.
Put out his candle.
Now……
The wind is getting strong.
candlelight……
Went out.
A major earthquake caused by the death of an old emperor is definitely more terrifying than an earth dragon turning over. You must know that this old emperor has been in power for many years and relied on his own strength to support the sailing of the broken ship of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Once he
Anyone with a little foresight can know what kind of stormy waves and undercurrents a death will cause.
"Daozhang Fan! Taozhang Fan is not good! Taozhang Fan! Something big has happened!" Yun Jiuqing was the first to come and remind Fan Wu: "Daozhang Fan! The palace... the palace, something big has happened!!"
Her little face was full of panic, because Yun Jiuqing didn't expect it at all...
Not long after he arrived at the palace, he encountered something like this.
The side that I and the old emperor saw the day before.
Actually, it was the last time I saw him!
After Yun Jiuqing swallowed secretly, he tried to calm down the ups and downs of his inner thoughts, and then said to Fan Wu: "Your Majesty, he... he... passed away!!!"
"Sure enough, I still didn't last a day." Fan Wu shook his head, he was not surprised at all.
"Huh?" Yun Jiuqing was a little surprised when she saw Fan Wu's calm reaction: "Master Fan, do you already know?"
"I found out last night." Fan Wu said, "You and Xing Fengzi should not leave this area for the next few days."
Fan Wu narrowed his eyes: "Once the old emperor dies, some characters that only he could suppress in the past will now be unable to suppress the prince."
Speaking of which.
Fan Wu even smiled with interest: "I really hope that someone will come out to stir up trouble at this time."
The large amount of information contained in Fan Wu's calm words made Yun Jiuqing a little dazed.
Did Daozhang Fan know about it last night? He also said that there would be some people who could not control themselves and would most likely take some action? Daozhang Fan seemed to have some expectations for the actions of these people?
"Gudong!"
Yun Jiuqing swallowed secretly. She found that she had unknowingly been involved in an unspeakable huge storm. If she was not careful, she would most likely be caught by this huge storm.
Roll into thin pieces.
Perhaps, as Daochang Fan said, only staying in this area can be considered safe.
Because Daochang Fan is also here.
The place where Fan Daochang stays means the safest place.
And such big news.
Of course it is impossible to hide it.
No one dares to hide it.
In a short period of time, the news of the death of the old emperor swept through the entire palace like a gust of wind. Everyone in the palace, from the prince to the maids, knew about this shocking event.
Everyone's face was full of shock and sadness.
The shock is real.
So sad...
Benevolence is in the eye of the beholder.
A wise man sees wisdom.
The news even blew outside the palace like a hurricane. Some officials and ministers who were staying at home and preparing to change their clothes to go to court all had their eyes widened after hearing the news.
When they confirmed that the news was true, they all rushed towards the palace without stopping, scrambling to be the first.
At this moment, the Great Zhou Palace was crowded with people one after another.
The palace has also entered a state of heavy security.
Basically, if you walk a few steps forward, you will see a group of guards, or defenders, patrolling.
Everyone's heart is very heavy.
Everyone's hearts felt like there was a huge boulder pressing down on them. There was clearly a clear sky above their heads, but at this moment, many people felt as if dark clouds were looming over the city.
"Hu Banban... Hu Banban, how could my father... how could my father pass away? I just met my father the day before. Wow... how could my father pass away?"
The little prince had already burst into tears. He pulled on Hu Banban's sleeves and wanted Hu Banban to tell him something he wanted to hear.
For example, the story of His Majesty's death was actually false.
Or, His Majesty has woken up.
It's a pity that Hu Banban shook his head with a face full of sorrow, and said to the young prince: "Your Highness, you can still see His Majesty for the last time before Emperor Daxing enters the coffin."
The little prince felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
At this moment, a man walked out of the palace in front of him. He was wearing a python robe, and his eyebrows were somewhat similar to those of the deceased old emperor.
He didn't look at Hu Banban, but looked at the little prince whose face was full of tears, and reached out to rub the little prince's head.
This person opened his mouth and said: "Eighteenth brother... come in with me."
"Yes...brother!" The little prince choked and nodded.
Hu Banban saluted hurriedly: "Old slave, I have seen the prince..."
"No need." Prince Zhou shook his head: "With such a big event happening today, there is no need to follow the complicated etiquette. Just keep everything simple. Let's wait until the matter of my father's death has been dealt with."
"Yes, His Royal Highness." Hu Banban nodded.
In a palace ahead, there was an extremely luxurious-looking coffin, lying quietly in the middle of the hall. And inside the coffin, there was a corpse lying quietly.
There were many people in the palace, and the sound of crying was everywhere.
There are princes and princes.
There are ministers and concubines.
As long as you walk in here, you can feel a sense of sadness, but within this sense of sadness, there seems to be an unspeakable undercurrent lurking in everyone's heart.
"Eighteenth brother, come and see your father." The prince of Zhou led the young prince to the side of the coffin.
"Huh..." Prince Zhou breathed out. His eye circles looked a little red, and he had obviously cried. He said bitterly: "I didn't expect that I was not able to see my father before he died.
It’s really unfilial!”
This prince of the Zhou Dynasty is actually quite old, and he also has a lot of white hair on his head. After all, one of his sons, Prince Nanjun, is already forty or fifty years old now.
Even among the group of people surrounding the coffin, no one looked younger.
Except for the little prince who was held by the crown prince of Zhou.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince!" At this moment, an old minister suddenly bowed deeply to the Crown Prince of Zhou Dynasty: "The sky cannot live without sun, and the country cannot live without a king! At this moment, the Daxing Emperor has passed away. Please invite the Crown Prince.
Your Highness ascends the throne as king and presides over the grand funeral of the emperor!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! When an emperor dies, he can no longer be called His Majesty, and can only be addressed as "Emperor Daxing".
"My father passed away today, how can I..."
"Your Highness the Crown Prince! Emperor Daxing said a long time ago that the day he dies will be the day His Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne!" Another minister bowed to the Crown Prince of Zhou.
"The loneliness in my heart is unbearable. How can I board the board at this time..."
Another minister interrupted the Crown Prince of Zhou: "His Royal Highness, only the king of a country can conduct state funerals for the previous king. Only by ascending to the Nine Extremes position can His Royal Highness prove his filial piety!"
"Yes! Your Highness can now put on the dragon robe, hold the jade seal of the mountains and rivers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, appeal to heaven and earth, and ascend the throne as king!"
"His Royal Highness please ascend the throne!!!"
One minister after another persuaded the Prince of Zhou. The Prince of Zhou sighed heavily. Just as he was about to agree according to the procedure, suddenly there was some movement outside.
"It's not good!!" A eunuch ran over in a hurry, knelt down with a thump and said, "Your Highness, it's not good!"
He hurriedly shouted: "It's on fire! The palace...the palace is on fire!"
"What a big fire!!!"
What?!
After hearing the eunuch's cry, the expressions of everyone in the palace changed drastically.
Prince Zhou's face suddenly darkened, and he told the people next to him: "Take good care of your eighteenth brother."
Then.
He walked directly outside the palace, and immediately saw the billowing fire not far away. He also heard the panic shouts outside - the defenders in the palace were all anxious, shouting to put out the fire.
the sound of.
It can be seen from the churning flames that at least several palaces were devoured by the raging flames.
Prince Zhou's eyes narrowed, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Pass the solitary order to seal off the palace! Seal the imperial city! He can control everyone in the palace, and no suspicious person should be let out."
On the day of his father's death, a fire broke out. He didn't believe it was an accident.
Everyone in the palace today feels like a roller coaster.
Shocked.
Great sadness.
Panic!
Terrified!
The death of an emperor was already a major event that shocked the dynasty, but when the emperor died and the prince was about to ascend the throne, the palace was inexplicably ignited with such a huge flame.
That thing is no ordinary big deal!
Anyone who is slightly involved will probably have their relatives implicated!
He will even be killed by Ning, and he will not let go of his mistakes!
Even some people who felt that this kind of thing had nothing to do with them were panicked. After all, no one was afraid that they would be involved inexplicably.
"You will go and take a look with me!" Prince Zhou directly nodded at the guards in the palace and ran towards the fire scene regardless of other people's dissuasion.
It didn't take long.
almost there.
The surging flames, accompanied by billowing heat waves, rushed towards them. The prince of Zhou and all the palace guards felt that their eyes were slightly uncomfortable due to the heat waves.
The palace maids, eunuchs, and guards were all hurriedly holding wooden barrels filled with water.
They poured all the water into the flames, but this little water was of no use.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Suddenly, a sharp-eyed palace guard pointed at the raging sea of fire in front of him and shouted: "There seems to be... something in the flames!!"
Prince Zhou looked intently in the direction he pointed.
really.
He also saw something strange, which looked like a human figure. And the human figure seemed to be walking slowly towards the direction where he was.
In the flames, a voice sounded leisurely: "It seems that you don't want to say anything!"
The figure had already stepped out of the flames.
It's Fan Wu!!!
I saw that Fan Wu was holding a person in his hand as if he were holding a little chicken. He clearly walked out of the sea of fire, but there was no trace of burning on his body.
Fan Wu smiled and said: "I knew it was not that simple for the old emperor to ask me to stay. No, I caught a little mouse."
