Xiong Jin looked sad and said to the ministers: "My father drank too much last night, which caused an old illness. Unfortunately, he has passed away!"
"Screaming sadly, Sir, I'm sorry!" All the ministers looked sad.
"The country cannot live without a king for a day, so please express your condolences to the prince! He will ascend the throne and inherit the country!"
A flash of joy flashed across Xiong Yan's face, and he almost couldn't maintain the sad expression on his face. Fortunately, Xiong Yan was also professional and quickly restored his sad expression: "My father passed away, and I am extremely sad, but In order to protect the country and the country, I have no choice but to ascend the throne and inherit the position of king."
"Invite the crown prince to ascend the throne!" Tuo, who had been prepared long ago, shouted quickly.
"Invite the crown prince to ascend the throne!"
"Invite the crown prince to ascend the throne!"
A sound like a roaring mountain and a tsunami suddenly sounded in the hall.
Xiong Jin was very intoxicated by the sound like a roaring mountain and a tsunami. After the ministers shouted several times, he ascended the throne and inherited the throne with the support of everyone.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!" Seeing Xiong Kan sitting in the position symbolizing the Marquis of Chu, the nobles and nobles in the hall immediately kowtowed to him.
Xiong Jin, who successfully ascended the throne and inherited the throne, could no longer hold back his excitement for a while.
"Your Majesty, no courtesy!"
After the enthronement ceremony was completed, Xiong Jin ascended the throne and inherited the throne in front of the body of Chu Hou Xiong Qi.
"Since your father has passed away, I would like to invite all the princes to discuss the posthumous title in order to honor your father after his death." After completing the enthronement, the first thing to do is to give the former Chu Marquis a posthumous title, which is also to declare his legitimacy. .
After some discussion, the ministers gave the posthumous title of Cheng. After all, everyone was dead, and he also accomplished several major events during his reign, defeating Deng, Shen and other countries. If it were not for the subsequent annexation of Xi and Cai, Even if the country fails, his posthumous title is not impossible.
Everyone handed the chosen posthumous title to Xiong Jin. Xiong Jin felt very unhappy when he saw that the posthumous title was Cheng, so he said: "Although the late emperor has meritorious service, the posthumous title of Cheng is a bit too much."
The ministers looked at each other and realized that something seemed wrong, so they said, "Then, posthumous title?"
Xiong Yan still shook his head. At this time, the ministers realized that something seemed to be wrong, so they discussed it for a long time, but no one was willing to express their position.
Finally, Xiong Jin saw everyone and said, "The chaos will not harm the spirit, so it is good to sacrifice the spirit to the ghosts and gods. The late king failed to swallow up the country, but the chaos will not harm it, so it is good to sacrifice the spirit to the ghosts and gods. It is very suitable to visit the spirit in Yigu!"
As soon as Xiong Jin finished speaking, all the ministers looked at him in surprise. You must know that Ling is a posthumous title. Generally speaking, he has not done anything to cause anger and resentment, so he will basically not use this posthumous title. No matter what, it is still a normal posthumous title. Unexpectedly, the Marquis of Chu actually wanted to give his father a posthumous title. For a while, the ministers did not dare to speak.
At this moment, a minister next to him suddenly pointed at the body of Chu Houqi and stammered: "My lord..."
"What's wrong with you, sir? Is what Gu said wrong?" Xiong Yan said coldly.
"My ancestor is alive...he's alive!" The doctor pointed at Xiong Qi's body with a horrified look on his face, with a hint of panic in his tone.
"Nonsense..." Xiong Jin was furious and stood up to scold him, but at this moment, he accidentally glanced at the corpse next to him. For a moment, Xiong Yan felt as cold as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
He saw the dead Xiong Qi on the spiritual platform staring directly at him. His eyes were cold and lifeless, which was intimidating.
Xiong Jin had a guilty conscience, so how could he not be afraid when he saw this situation? For a moment, his body couldn't help but tremble. If he hadn't been holding on to the pillar next to him, he would have fallen to the ground.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the late emperor will never die with his eyes closed... Why not change his posthumous title?" Que, the close minister next to him, said with some fear.
Xiong Jin reacted immediately and did not dare to mention the posthumous title anymore. He quickly said: "Yes, yes, yes! The late emperor established the government in peace and order, conquered the punishments of the people, had clear rituals and music, maintained the surplus and maintained the fullness, and the posthumous title became very successful." suitable!"
The ministers in the palace also responded one after another: "The former monarch calmed the people and established the government, conquered the punishments of the people, used rituals and music clearly, maintained the surplus and maintained the fullness, and the posthumous title is said to be accomplished!"
After hearing that all the ministers agreed, Xiong Qi seemed to be satisfied.
His eyes disappeared and he slowly closed his eyes.
Seeing this scene, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
My late lord, please just leave. I really feel that the posthumous title is not good enough and I am angry. I will go to your son to discuss it tonight. We all give you a posthumous title. You can't just get up and say that this posthumous title is not acceptable! So scary!
With this episode, the originally grand enthronement ceremony ended hastily. As for the main hall where the late monarch was parked, the atmosphere became even more depressing. The discussion about the posthumous title quickly spread in the palace, and everyone was frightened.
And those eunuchs who stayed in the mourning hall to watch the night felt even more like they were mourning their heirs.
Xiong Jin hurriedly left the hall and returned to the palace. Even now, he is still frightened, and those eyes are still stuck in his mind.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
Xiong Yan came back to his senses and saw that it was his confidant, and then said: "Que, is there something wrong?"
"Your Majesty, there is one thing you haven't done yet!" Que reminded: "Yun is not dead yet. Such a change has occurred in his ascension to the throne. I am afraid that some people will be restless. It is better to take action directly so that it can be settled once and for all!"
Xiong Jin immediately thought of something: "By the way, there is Yun, send someone to kill Yun quickly!"
Everyone in the Chu Kingdom knew that the late King Qi wanted to make Yun the crown prince. If anyone used this as an excuse to support Yun to ascend the throne as the Marquis of Chu, he would definitely end up miserable.
So he planned to take the first step and kill Yun to avoid future troubles!
Soon after Chu Hou issued the order, groups of soldiers immediately rushed to Xiong Yun's mansion. However, after the army surrounded Xiong Yun's mansion, they discovered that the mansion was already empty.
Just when the nobles and nobles of the country discovered that something was wrong, Xiong Yun also discovered that the situation was not good, and his mother took him and fled to Suiguo under the protection of the guards.
Although the power of Sui State is not as strong as that of Chu State, it is still a prince surnamed Ji. After escaping here, there is no need to worry about being betrayed by Sui Guo.
When the Marquis of Chu discovered that his younger brother Xiong Yun had already escaped, his expression changed and he immediately ordered an army to chase him back, but by this time it was already too late to pursue him. ..
It had been almost a day since Xiong Yun escaped. Even if he sent people to chase him, he would still be unable to catch up.
In the end, the Marquis of Chu had to give up and sent people to guard the surrounding areas to prevent Xiong Yun from returning to his country.
On the other side, after experiencing a day and night of coups and completing his ascension to the throne, Xiong Yan also felt very tired and fell asleep quickly. But after he fell asleep, he found that the same pair of eyes during the day were staring at him. Chu Hou's face turned pale and he was frightened for a moment. It took him a while to recover.
And this scene also became his nightmare.
