It wasn't until Shen Shao's body was placed in the Dragon Coffin that Shen Ji came to her senses. She burst into tears and rushed to the Dragon Coffin. pbx.m
"Shen Ji!" Shen Wei stopped Shen Ji, his eyes red. "Don't go there."
"Second Brother, let me go. I want to see Father, I want to see Father!"
"Father is just too tired, he wants to sleep …"
"No, I want to see Father, just one look!"
…
Shen Ji, using both her hands and feet, couldn't break free from Shen Wei's hold. No one doubted her at all. Wasn't it normal for a daughter who had lost her mind after her father's death to wake up?
Everyone watched the Dragon Coffin leave, unable to come to their senses for a long time. They couldn't help but cry as they recalled the two hundred years that had passed since Shen Shao became the Shen Emperor.
Although all the previous Shen Emperors were outstanding, in everyone's eyes, Shen Shao, who was both brave and intelligent, was the undisputed number one Shen Emperor.
"Send off His Majesty!"
The ministers sobbed and kowtowed until the Dragon Coffin completely disappeared before their eyes.
The crying gradually stopped. Everyone looked up at the next Shen Emperor, Shen Feng.
Shen Feng closed his bloodshot eyes and took a few deep breaths before opening them. He said coldly, "Two things. Interrogate Xie Tian and bury Father."
Everyone nodded. Mo Shaocong suddenly thought of something and said hurriedly, "Your Highness, there is one more thing. His Majesty was killed. Your Highness should immediately inherit the throne to stabilize the situation of the Jin Dynasty!"
As soon as he said that, the crowd came to their senses. In the current situation, nothing was more important than the stability of the Divine Dynasty. Therefore, the succession of the Divine Wind to the throne was the top priority.
Shen Feng shook his head. "Father died suddenly. We must give an explanation to the Jin Dynasty. This is the key to stabilizing the situation. As for my succession …"
Seeing Shen Feng frown, Mo Shaocong's mind spun. As if he had guessed the reason, he immediately said, "Your Highness, the Heaven Opening Divine Formation can only be maintained normally for a month. If it continues to be maintained after a month, the consumption will be huge …"
Shen Feng didn't hear Mo Shaocong's words, as he was deep in doubt. pbx.m
"If my father died of no disease, when I prayed to the heavens, the fate of the state and the nation would immediately be added to my body. Now that he was suddenly killed, it became a slow addition. There has never been such a record in the three thousand years of the Shen family. How strange …"
According to his estimations, this slow loading would only allow him to possess half of the state's fate and nation's fate within a month. Moreover, he wasn't sure if this strange situation would affect Qi Tian.
"If this strange phenomenon doesn't affect Qi Tian, I'll be able to inherit the throne after a month. If it does, I'll need at least two months to become the real God Emperor …"
One month, two months, it became a knot in Shen Feng's heart.
With his calmness, he shouldn't be like this. After Shen Shao woke up a month ago, he was prepared to wait for another six years.
But now that the throne was right in front of him, he lost his calmness. If possible, he even hoped to hold the Heaven Praying Ceremony right now so that he could immediately inherit the throne and become the most powerful person in the Nine States!
"Sigh, then one month later."
Everyone saw Shen Feng's bitterness, but it became a painful struggle because he couldn't bear to inherit the throne during the period of Shen Shao's death, but he had to do it for the stability of the Jin Dynasty.
"Your Highness, please rest assured. Within this month, we will do our best to interrogate Xie Tian!"
Only by doing this could Shen Feng's pain be slightly alleviated. Everyone was thinking this. But how would they interrogate Xie Tian? Who would interrogate him? Could they find out the result?
No one was sure.
Silence, Shen Feng said, "I will interrogate him myself first!"
"Your Highness, Xie Tian …"
Mo Shaocong's heart tightened. But when he thought of Shen Shao who died with his eyes wide open, his remaining feelings for Xie Tian disappeared. He said coldly, "No matter how strange this matter is, it is true that Xie Tian tried to assassinate His Majesty. No matter what the result is, we should …"
"I don't agree!" Wu Shang angrily took off his mask, revealing a tearful face. "I will ask Xie Tian. I must get to the bottom of this!"
Shen Feng frowned and sighed. "Lord Wu Shang, you can't be impulsive now. In the three thousand years of the Jin Dynasty, there has never been an assassin who died. If we don't find out the truth, how can we explain to the Jin Dynasty?"
"Your Highness, Xie Tian would never assassinate His Majesty. If he really wanted to, I am willing to die with His Majesty!" Wu Shang argued.
"Die with His Majesty?" Shen Feng laughed at himself. "Lord Wu Shang, can your death be exchanged for the stability of the Jin Dynasty? I know your relationship with Xie Tian, but have you ever thought that Xie Tian is the loyal subject that Father Emperor prepared for me! "
Wu Shang was stunned.
"I treated Xie Tian like my own brother. I wanted to share everything I had with Xie Tian. I wanted to break the ancestral rule of the Jin Dynasty and confer the title of King with a different surname. Haha …"
Shen Feng's eyes were wet. He laughed bitterly and shouted, "But the person that I treated like this killed Father Emperor with his own hands. What do you want me to do? What should I do? Do you feel as much pain as I do? "
Shen Feng's roar silenced the entire Imperial Garden. Everyone lowered their heads in silence.
How could they not see that after Xie Tian had returned, Shen Feng had paid almost no attention to the affairs of the country. All of his energy was focused on Xie Tian.
In the end, Xie Tian did not become Shen Feng's loyal subject. Instead, he became Shen Feng's enemy who killed his father …
At this moment, the weeping Shen Ji couldn't help but take a step forward. She opened her mouth and sobbed, "Big Brother, Father Emperor …"
Shen Feng sighed. He turned to look at Shen Ji and waved his hand with a bitter smile. "Second Brother, Third Brother, take Shen Ji to Mother and comfort her …"
"Big Brother, Big Brother …"
The powerless Wu Shang fell to the ground. His left eye stared at the sky and he muttered in despair, "How could it be like this, how could it be like this …"
No matter how much he muttered, Shen Shao had already been placed in the Dragon Coffin and Xie Tian had already been sent to the Divine Prison. After a moment of silence in the Imperial Garden, Shen Feng spoke again.
"Sirs, spread the news of Father Emperor's sudden death."
The four cabinet ministers were shocked. "Your Highness, if this spreads, the Jin dynasty will fall into chaos."
Shen Feng shook his head and said coldly, "The Jin dynasty has lost its Divine Emperor. This one month is the best time for the Nine Provinces to punish the Gods. Those people will definitely not let go of this chance."
Mo Shaocong and the others understood Shen Feng's thoughts. Rather than letting the Nine Provinces punish the Gods and cause chaos in the Jin dynasty, it was better to spread the news and use external pressure to unite the Jin dynasty, which was supposed to be in chaos.
It was a good idea, but it was too risky. The ministers discussed for a long time before replying, "Your Highness, why don't we spread the news in Tianqi City first. If there is no chaos, then spread it to the 360 cities. How about that?"
Shen Feng squinted his eyes and nodded slowly after a long time. "The Jin dynasty is in trouble. I hope that sirs can help us stabilize the Jin dynasty!"
"We will not disappoint you!"
The matter of Shenshao's death came to an end for the time being. Only then were the important figures of the Divine Dynasty allowed to leave the Divine Palace. They brought along the shocking news of the earth-shattering change and blended into Tianqi City.
Heaven Sword Elder brought the people of Heaven Sword Sect back to the Hall of Etiquette. The moment he closed the door, his entire body was drenched in sweat. His eyes were filled with fear and disbelief.
"How could the death trap of Onyx Soul end up like this …"
Wu Shang was still lying in the Imperial Garden muttering. Shen Feng glanced at Wu Shang and walked out of the Imperial Garden towards the Divine Prison in the depths of the Shen Palace.
An hour later, the Tianqi City was in chaos.
The Imperial Guards under Du Jiang were all mobilized. They were spread across the entire Tianqi City. Anyone who caused trouble was killed without mercy.
The 10 Great Aristocratic Families sealed their territory again. Anyone who entered or left without permission was killed without mercy.
Fei Tian Pavilion closed its doors immediately. Boss Jia and the other two disappeared without a trace.
Mad Old Man, who was standing outside the Shen Palace, looked in the direction of the Divine Prison in despair.
"Little Tian Tian …"
At that moment, Xie Tian was lying in the dark Divine Prison. Silence.
