Duan Wenjun never expected that when he visited him some time ago, Emperor Shun, who was still very healthy, would pass away just as he said he was going to die.
Before his death, he did not pass the throne to Chai Jingyun as everyone expected, but to Chai Jingxian.
Moreover, with the support of General Ye Ming and Concubine Xian, there was not much turmoil in the entire court.
Three days ago, Chai Jingxian had officially proclaimed himself emperor, still with Prime Minister Chen as prime minister and Ye Ming as general.
However, what is surprising is that Chai Jingxian actually dismissed the current Grand Master Wang Taishi, and instead invited the retired Grand Master Pang out.
Taishi Pang was a person who assisted Emperor Gaozu and was a veteran of the three dynasties of Dashun.
At this moment, Chai Jing invited him to come out first, which can be said to be the fourth generation king assisting Dashun.
Master Pang has not been involved in political affairs for many years, but his grace and power are still there.
With Taishi Pang taking action, Chai Jingxian's throne is naturally as secure as a mountain.
When receiving the news, not only Duan Wenjun, but also everyone present was shocked.
Whether it was Yan Xiaohua, Qiuqiu, or Mrs. Yinhua, they all actually thought that Emperor Shun was planning to welcome Chai Jingyun back to the throne.
However, judging from the current situation, it seems that Emperor Shun had played tricks on everyone during his lifetime.
Compared with the current turmoil in Mo Kingdom and Yan Kingdom, these disturbances in Shun Kingdom are nothing.
The smooth transfer of imperial power in Dashun is naturally extremely beneficial to Dashun.
However, such benefits do not seem to be what everyone wants to see.
"Sir Chai Jing, are you a member of the Chai family?" Chai Xiaohua was the first to break the silence.
His eyes fell on Mrs. Yinhua’s face.
Obviously, he didn't quite understand what was going on.
Mrs. Yinhua frowned, and after a long time she said, "I don't know what's going on. Logically speaking, our news should be correct. Among the many concubines in the harem, the Empress has always had nothing to do, but she has always been Most favored by him.”
"You have been in the palace for such a long time. Didn't you notice anything strange at the beginning?" Chai Xiaohua frowned. "Based on my understanding of Chai Haotian, he would never do such an outrageous thing. Especially that day. He swore an oath in the temple, and even cried bitterly to me, and these princes are not his flesh and blood."
Hearing this, Duan Wenjun couldn't help but smile, and felt that Emperor Shun was a very interesting person.
In his opinion, Chai Xiaohua was like the priest in his previous life, and the temple that no longer existed was like a church.
However, the specifications of the temple are much higher than those of the church.
An ordinary church can accept prayers and confessions from everyone, but inside this temple, it is the exclusive venue for emperors.
However, whether this kind of piety or not, whether this kind of confession or prayer is sincere, depends on the mind of the person praying.
In his previous life, Duan Wenjun once saw a film about this. The protagonist relied on praying to the godfather to spread the layout he designed and then achieve his own goals.
If Emperor Shun is like the man in the movie, who has been planning for today's situation from the beginning, then I'm afraid it's not just Yan Xiaohua, Qiuqiu and Mrs. Yinhua, but also the Eighth Prince of the capital. Others are already included in his calculations.
Of course, there is another extremely important message coming from the capital.
That is when the old master Pang Taishi suddenly came out to take charge of Chai Jing.
This means that there are only two possibilities.
Either this was all arranged by Emperor Shun. When he was alive, he could have Master Pang pretend to be indifferent to him and control the entire country openly and secretly. Then after his death, at this critical moment, At that time, it was normal for Taishi Pang to walk from behind the scenes to the front of the stage.
The only thing that is surprising is that the information that Mrs. Yinghua received was missing some extremely critical information.
Since it was Chai Jing who was called to the throne first, the situation of Chai Jingyun and Prince Rui in Beijing will definitely not be optimistic.
However, Mrs. Yinghua did not get any news from them.
Since the death of Emperor Shun, they have never left the palace and seem to have been staying by the Queen Mother's side.
Perhaps, one can guess whether they have been placed under house arrest by Chai Jingxian?
There is also no news from the Eighth Prince, who has a close friendship with Qiuqiu, which is unscientific.
If all this was not the arrangement of Emperor Shun, but the joint work of General Ye Ming and Taishi Pang, then the situation would be completely different.
Since Duan Wenjun can think of so many ways, Yan Xiaohua and the others are all good people, so it is impossible for them to think of it.
At this moment, Yan Xiaohua seemed to have thought about it, but he did not dwell on what happened before. Instead, he looked at Duan Wenjun and smiled, "I wonder how Master Duan is going to deal with it?"
Duan Wenjun was stunned when he heard this.
Because Yan Xiaohua told him how to deal with it.
This means that after Chai Jing takes over first, it is very likely that she will take action against Chai Jingyun or even Duan Wenjun.
"What are we going to deal with?" Duan Wenjun looked at him and shook his head. "I'm not interested in things in the court, so it doesn't have much to do with me. Naturally, I'll hurry back to Wangjiang. Do my business, cultivate my land, and be a leisurely young owner is a real life."
"But, I have already asked Yinhua to provide you with various information. Jingyun is her son, so you can't just ignore it, right?" Yan Xiaohua looked a little unhappy.
"Do you think I can handle this matter?" Duan Wenjun looked at him with a wry smile.
Yan Xiaohua's brows suddenly knitted together.
Mrs. Yinghua on the side also frowned slightly, looking very worried.
"Wenjun, before you went into the mountain, why did you ask Li Mingde to go to Yuxing Pass to find your aunt?" At this moment, Qiuqiu suddenly spoke.
His brows were furrowed, and he stared at him with confusion on his face.
"It's nothing, I just suddenly thought that something was wrong with the people of the Sun and Moon Sect that day at Fenglingdu, so I asked Uncle De to find my aunt for help and run a trip for me." Duan Wenjun replied.
"What did Yun Batian say to you when he came back? Why did you ask her to rush back to the capital overnight?" Qiuqiu didn't seem to give up and asked again.
Duan Wenjun's face suddenly showed an embarrassed expression.
In fact, on the way to Yuxing Mountain, I still didn't trust this second grandpa.
Therefore, he arranged many things without telling Qiuqiu.
He thought he did it without anyone noticing, but he didn't expect that none of it escaped Qiuqiu's eyes.
A smile appeared on his face, "I asked Sister Yun to return to the capital just to verify one thing. Whether the words my fat dad asked Jia Ping to bring to me are true."
"What are you talking about?" Qiuqiu and Yan Xiaohua asked almost in unison.
"He said that he could buy me two years so that I could look back and develop with peace of mind..." Duan Wenjun's face became extremely solemn.
