Chapter 162: Only success is allowed, no failure is allowed

First, he brought back the bad news of the old emperor's death from illness from the northwest. The capital was filled with mourning and commemorating the old emperor.

In order to stabilize the hearts of the ruthless people, the royal family came forward and elected Tang Chengqi as the next emperor. However, it would take a little time to ascend the throne.

The Northern Tang Dynasty did not govern the country with benevolence and filial piety, but benevolence and filial piety have always been a universal idea. Therefore, even if some people are anxious, the third prince will take about seven days to officially ascend the throne.

The news of the sudden death of the old emperor Tang Wuqing came extremely suddenly. However, after thinking about it carefully, many people were not surprised.

In fact, the old emperor's health has not improved over the years, and he has been dragging his sick body to deal with state affairs. Many people thought that the old emperor was mostly ineffective and was about to break through in the past few years.

As a result, it has surprised many people that the old emperor was able to survive until now. Considering that the old emperor was in his fifties and the average lifespan of emperors in various countries was about sixty years old, many people were prepared.

The old emperor's sudden death on the tour was full of suspicion. However, the capital was already under the full control of the royal family. Even if the royal family said that they were Ultraman and said that they would punish you on behalf of monthly tickets, you could only admit it.

Whether it is the third prince, fourth prince, or sixth prince ascends the throne, it is not worth being surprised. Not everyone is willing to be the emperor. If you ask the prince of Anyang, he is the martial master and can easily live beyond 100 years old. If you give him a throne, let him sit and see that he will not slap you in the face.

Evaded by the energy of the true dragon, the emperor is a short-lived and high-risk occupation. The average life span is only 60 years old.

When the capital is full of black and white, when the people miss the old emperor's benevolent government, some people feel extremely good.

The noise outside broke the harmony at this moment: "Uncle Emperor, I don't accept it. Why is the third brother succeeding to the throne? Why is it not me, not the sixth brother?"

Awakened from meditation, Tang Zheng frowned: "Let them come in."

The fourth prince and the sixth prince were clearly angry and rushed in with an angry look on their faces: "Uncle, we just don't accept it."

Of course, I am not convinced, so why is the third brother who succeeded to the throne? Everyone is a prince, and it is not necessarily the case that anyone is nobler than anyone else.

"Don't accept it, don't tell me." Tang Zheng shook his head: "This is the joint decision of the royal family. If you don't accept it, you must accept it. Chengxi, I ask you, what other things have you done over the years?"

The fourth prince was speechless. Compared with the third prince, he was indeed inferior to the third prince. Otherwise, he would not be the third prince's reign.

"Chengzong, I'll ask you again." Tang Zheng looked at the sixth prince with a pale face: "You are only twenty-two now, you have not yet married, and your temperament is not yet determined. How can you govern the country? I, Northern Tang, have no time to wait for you to determine it."

It is useless to make trouble when you reach this point. Tang Zheng said bitterly: "If I am you, then don't make trouble again. Leave a good impression on your royal brother and get a good title, that's it. Don't end up empty-handed."

The fourth prince and the sixth prince were covered in dust!

"The whole country is mourning in Northern Tang, but I don't have time to deal with these things. However, I have always tended to continue to strengthen friendly relations with Dongning."

"When I ascend the throne, I will discuss with the ministers and I will give Dongning a reply."

The third prince wore mourning clothes, with red and swollen eyes. He came to express his condolences after sending him away. In fact, Dongning, who was so happy in his heart, sent an envoy: "This is the third one."

Both Dashi and Xiliang have been here. Especially Xiliang, I wish I could have a more chaos in the Northern Tang Dynasty, and I wish that after the new emperor ascended the throne, I could spend more time adapting and even adjusting national policies, so as to give Xiliang more time.

In some sense, the surrounding countries were expecting the old emperor to die early in the morning. The new emperor and the court always needed to get along with each other, so the beast of Northern Tang would continue to lie dormant.

"The Northern Tang needs to form a secret alliance with the people of Dongning, but we can't believe them. They wish we had a few more years of chaos." The Prince of Anyang is also solemn: "Now, that's what we and the people of Dongning are fighting for time."

This area can only accommodate a superpower, either Northern Tang or Dongning. Therefore, whoever can take the lead in unifying resources will gain critical time.

Several countries sent envoys to pay their respects and then expressed their opinions, expressing their willingness to see the new emperor of the Northern Tang ascend the throne and continue to maintain friendly relations.

It is never clear between countries. Wang Ce has always been in the two yamen and has never had the opportunity to contact this type of national diplomacy.

Northern Tang and Dongning were competitors. Before the Northern Tang challenged the great world, they had to flatten the Western Liang first. Before that, Dongning had to flatten many small countries around them. Each had their own troubles, and it was not easy.

King Luo thought for a long time: "Before ascending the throne, we must solve the troubles between civil and military officials first. On the contrary, it is a sect and family, so you can scatter it behind."

From the news of the emperor's sudden death, the civil and military system basically maintained a delicate silence, which was a state of no cooperation or interference. It maintained the operation of the court, but did not say that it recognized the new emperor, nor did it denied the new emperor.

The Prince of Anyang shook his head: "The civil servants don't need to pay much attention to it. As long as they continue, it doesn't take too long, they will naturally admit it. Instead, the Eighth Prefecture Army and the Local Army are very difficult."

Many of the control of local garrison troops are in the hands of the aristocratic families, so it is difficult to mobilize them.

The Eighth Prefecture Army will not be dispatched easily, especially without the orders of the Military Academy. Especially when the old emperor died suddenly, the Eighth Prefecture Governor did not have cramps in his head, so of course he would not bump into his head stupidly.

Controlling the capital is equivalent to a legitimate element of righteousness and can enable the third prince to ascend the throne. However, many things cannot be solved as soon as they ascend the throne.

The two yamen were only loyal to the emperor, and the Eighth Prefecture Army was only loyal to the emperor, no matter who the emperor was. The problem is that the origin of the third prince's throne was unknown, whether the old emperor was alive or dead or unknown, it was difficult to gain allegiance from the Eighth Prefecture Army.

To put it bluntly, the civil and military system does not cooperate because your third prince’s throne is unknown. If you ascend the throne normally, the civil and military system will soon express allegiance immediately.

"Uncle the emperor and his friends rushed there, and Zhu Xiangru and Xu Chonglou were also taken over. Now, only Tang Zheng is left in the capital for the time being, so we must beware of other countries' chaos. I have ordered the two yamen to keep an eye on them."

Faced with a slightly awkward situation, the Prince of Anyang suddenly remembered Jinyi's middle-aged man and shook his head to get rid of this idea. He had always been wary of his mind and would not allow Jinyi's middle-aged man to participate in the government affairs at all.

"In a few days, you will ascend the throne. There may be other excuses to delay a few days, but you still need to try to get the three treasures of the emperor back from the emperor. Otherwise, the name will be incorrect and the words will be unsatisfactory."

The Three Treasures of the Emperor are the symbolic representation of an emperor's imperial power. Without these three treasures, a dog would not give a good face to the new emperor, and the aristocratic families would be ready to yearn for the throne.

"The emperor is currently in the northwest area, which is the place of decisive battle we have chosen. We must force the emperor to abdicate in the northwest and hand over the three treasures."

"Tang Zhengyao and other emperors should be able to suppress it, but if there are more, it would be the best. It's time to make a decision."

Some people pondered for a long time and made a decision.

"Okay, let the original plan be implemented. Let the blockade of news in various places and make the people of the world believe... He is dead. I will leave the places in Xiliang to you for contact with you."

"When you reach this point, you can only succeed and not fail."

The person who spoke was the third prince, with a blank look on his face, mixed with a hint of ruthlessness.

"Why is the third prince ascending the throne?"

"The third prince married the daughter of the Xia family in Heyuan. The fourth prince married the daughter of the Yao family in Nanling. Only the sixth prince has not yet married. The fourth prince is not as talented as the third prince, and the sixth prince is too young."

It is definitely better to marry a genius than to marry a daughter of a noble family. Because of the relationship between the relatives of the foreigners, if the sixth prince marrys Zhu Haitang, the chance of inheriting the throne will be much higher. No wonder he hates Wang Ce with a dead face.

In the Heavenly Prison, Wang Shoufu patiently guided Wang Ce's politics: "The news of Your Majesty's sudden death was passed back, and the third prince's succession to the throne was justified on the surface. Even if all officials knew that something was wrong, they would not openly oppose it."

"Once you succeed to the throne, many orders will be executed even if you don't want to. Once the third prince succeeds to the throne, His Majesty will not die, so it will probably be difficult to come back."

"I understand." Wang Ce smiled. This means that the third prince first took over the name to facilitate mobilizing the resources and power of the court, and then destroyed the old emperor.

It’s like the two yamen. Although the two yamen are undercurrents now, once the third prince officially ascends the throne, they must be loyal. The Eighth Prefectures Army is currently dissatisfied with the mobilization, but once they ascend the throne, they must obey.

This is the power of the system. Just like Wang Ce used to dare to fight for justice and beat the prince of Anyang in the face, but the dignified martial arts master could not fight back and kill him. This is the system, this is the power of the rules.

The King of Shoufu said solemnly: "Dongning and other countries have already paid their condolences. If you recognize our new emperor in Northern Tang, Your Majesty must be in the northwest area at this time. If the third prince blocks the news, no one will know that Your Majesty is still alive. As long as you delay for a while, Your Majesty will have to abdicate even if you come back."

Very vicious, quite vicious move.

"However, I still don't understand. What's the motive of the third prince?" Wang Ce wondered. The third prince was not good at being a prince and gained one-third of the chance. He actually took the risk of rebellion, which made people unable to understand.

The Shoufu Wang nodded and shook his head: "Many princes will make a fuss. However, the third prince's choice is indeed a bit unreasonable, and most of them are forced."

Not being coerced. The sword he stabbed at Ronghua Tower has been formally passed by the performance of the Prince of Anyang and others. Wang Ce smiled and said, there was always one thing that the old fox was not as good as his.

Wang Ce put his head on his face, looking careless. The people and forces that should jump out have basically jumped out, and the emperor's backhand is almost the same.

After a few days, I recalled the passage of Ronghua Tower that night. Shoufu Wang jumped out when he was almost taking out his hidden ace and almost died. What does that mean?

Although he was a little aware of it, Wang Ce's eyes were filled with coldness. Emperor, you want to force Lao Gu and others around me to dig out my foundation with one stone, and that would not be so easy!

It seems that it is right to temporarily hide the War Spirit Army, which is not powerful enough at present. Wang Ce thought about it.

After falling asleep for a long time, Wang Ce suddenly opened his eyes and jumped up. He suddenly saw a figure appear!

This mysterious black man looked at him a few times: "Wang Ce?"

Seeing Wang Ce admitting, the mysterious man grabbed the steel fence and opened the door like rubbing noodles! The mysterious man clasped his fists and said, "A certain family belongs to the Da Nei Camp, and Your Majesty ordered Lord Wang to temporarily take over the position of the camp."
