him, “You're getting up there in years, and I don't want to ask for much. I just want to remind Grandmother, if you don't replace what you owe or pay back the money, then what I might desire could bec...Jiang Shangshu laughed, and many people thought that Jiang Shangshu had gone mad. They thought he was a supporter of the new emperor, so when reciting the will of the late emperor, in order to give the new emperor face, he deliberately read it incorrectly.
But this kind of behavior is a great crime, punishable by death. Even Jiang Fu and Jiang Wanting became nervous. 。But Jiang Feng was not nervous. He just saw him flip the imperial edict in his hand over and face the people in the hall, shouting loudly: "Look clearly, this Shangshu didn't misread a single word, the throne is passed to the seventh son, this is what the late emperor wrote clearly on the imperial edict!" 。You can come forward and identify if it is the handwriting of the former emperor. You can also ask the officials who went together with the same minister to retrieve the imperial edict, whether this edict was taken from behind the night pearl in the Chengguang Hall. 。" Empress Dowager Li rushed over first, her eyes fixed on the imperial edict in Jiang Feng's hands. Her face grew increasingly grim. " 。The Regent also went, his steps unsteady, almost tripping on the jade steps. 。He looked at it more carefully than even Empress Li, even reaching out to snatch the imperial decree and hold it under his eyes for a closer inspection. 。But no matter how I looked, I couldn't find anything wrong. No matter how I looked, the name written on top was all "Quan Qingcheng" three characters. 。This is indeed the handwriting of the late emperor. There's even the seal of the Emperor of Northern Qi on top, every word and sentence is perfectly correct. 。The Regent's face also paled, muttering incessantly, "This is impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"Jiang Feng let out a cold snort, "Your Royal Highness the Regent, the imperial edict is what you all arranged to see. Now that you've heard and seen it, how come you can't accept reality It's clearly written on this, Your Majesty's handwriting. We, as subjects, can tell at a glance. Could it be that you want to argue that this imperial edict is fake"The envoy of the Guiyue Kingdom also stepped forward, peeking at the imperial edict through the Regent's raised hand. After a while, he furrowed his brow as well. 。The last will is real, even if he is from the Kingdom of Guiyue, he can still distinguish between a genuine and a fake last will. 。Furthermore, there is also the seal of Emperor Wen of Northern Qi stamped on top. The place where the imperial edict was placed was also pointed out by Empress Li herself. So many people went together, and people from all factions were there. Jiang Feng had absolutely no chance to switch it. 。Could it be that the late emperor truly designated the seventh prince to succeed him Then, wouldn't all these years of Gu Yue's unwavering devotion to the eldest son, the sixth prince, just become a joke All that Gu Yue Nation has invested in the sixth prince over the years would have been for nothingMany ministers gathered closer to take a look. In the end, people simply lined up, taking turns to carefully examine the imperial edict. 。Until all the officials had identified themselves, several of the deceased emperor's sons also came forward. Quan Qingcheng stepped forward as well. 。There is no one who can question the authenticity of this will, for it is real, absolutely true. 。The Regent, clutching the imperial edict, began to tremble. The Sixth Prince stepped forward, steadying him with a hand and calling out softly, "Uncle Emperor," 。The regent hastily recovered, beads of sweat forming on his brow. 。
The Empress Dowager Li spoke in a voiceless whisper: "You're a mute, how could he have passed the throne to you" She then looked at Empress Dowager Yu and pointed directly at her, “It must be you, this demon woman, who forced the late emperor to pass the throne to your son. This imperial decree must have been written under your coercion, it's unacceptable! I am the empress, only my son is worthy of sitting on the throne of Northern Qi!”
Empress Dowager Yu stared at her with wide eyes, a look of both grievance and anger on her face: “The late emperor was ill for many years, indeed it was I who was always by his bedside. But why was it always me instead of others It wasn't because you were all too busy scheming for your own sons, plotting against each other..."
You sent me away because my son is mute. Even if I were favored by the late Emperor, my son would have no hope of becoming the next emperor. 。At that time, I also knew this well, so I never thought about how to coerce the late Emperor into writing my son's name in his imperial edict. Such a major matter, how could the late Emperor listen to me I am just a woman who can't lift a shoulder or carry a hand, and my maternal family has no power at all. Even when the late Emperor was seriously ill, it wouldn't be possible for someone like me to threaten him!Wu Fu also stepped forward and said loudly: "The slave had previously served the late Emperor, and was present when the late Emperor wrote this imperial edict. I saw it clearly..." 。No one was forced, it was all the former emperor's own idea. 。"As for why it's the Seventh Prince, perhaps that was a tacit understanding between the late Emperor and Emperor Zun himself!" The Empress Dowager Li still didn't believe it, she shook her head and kept saying, "How can a mute become emperor"Quan Qingcheng heard this and became unhappy: "What's wrong with being mute Can't I speak now Since Emperor Zun knew that Ye Si could cure my voice, then His Majesty the late Emperor must have known as well..." 。"If all are capable of ruling, then why can't it be me who ascends the throne" He spoke again, his gaze shifting to the envoy from Guiyue, "Have you had enough of the spectacle When you're done, please return to your seat." 。Guests are welcome, I hope you people from the moon will understand the way of a guest, and don't disgrace your own country. 。Furthermore, when our Northern Qi envoys return from their mission in the future and it's time for them to bid farewell under the moonlight, I hope you will also extend your hospitality as hosts. Allow our envoys to witness a breathtaking performance of "Returning to the Moon" as well. This would be a fitting exchange of courtesies. 。He walked back up the steps and sat back on the Dragon Throne. For the first time since his ascension, the young emperor truly felt like an emperor. 。Because he was recognized by the former emperor and informed everyone through a will that his position was legitimate. 。He looked at the Regent, then at Empress Dowager Li, and finally at the officials below. His face remained composed throughout. "You have had your fun, seen what you needed to see. Although I have not yet ascended the throne, I am still the Emperor, the heir designated by the late emperor's will." 。Everything should be done in moderation. If you don't even understand this, how can you talk about assisting the government or managing the harem Don't let me make Northern Qi a laughingstock, and don't let yourselves become laughingstocks! Alright, all of you go back to your seats, the palace banquet continues. 。"Tonight is New Year's Eve, a day worth celebrating!"
All the officials had been sent back. Wu Fu personally stepped forward and asked Empress Li and the Regent King not to stand there anymore. He also said to the two of them: "The more you insist, the more embarrassing it becomes. Making such a scene in front of outsiders would only tarnish the face of the Prince and the Empress." 。" The regent flung his sleeves and returned to his seat. Empress Dowager Li, with Baochan's support, reluctantly went back as well. 。 。What's the use of staring Everything that has happened is already a fact, and no one can change it. 。 Empress Dowager Yu returned to her seat and looked at her son confidently sitting on the dragon throne. She felt very pleased. 。 She felt a mixture of relief and increasing confusion, for the imperial decree was fake! Yes, the decree was fake; at least that's what she thought. 。It's not just about the handwriting and imperial seal; to determine authenticity, we need witnesses, and she is that witness. 。She had really seen the late emperor point to the Sixth Prince as his successor with her own eyes. It wasn't just her who saw it, Wu Fu did too. 。Now that she has gone back on her word, there's no way she wouldn't go against her own son. 。So the truth of what happened back then is impossible for anyone else to know. This matter will be taken into the grave, even in death. 。She was puzzled, where did the imperial edict stating that the sixth son would inherit the throne go This counterfeit edict stating that the seventh son would inherit the throne, which was virtually identical to the genuine one, came from where Who forged this edict to help her son ascend to the throne What was their purpose in doing so The palace banquet continued, dancers gracefully moved onto the stage with the music. 。The envoy from the Kingdom of Returning Moon fell silent, no longer causing trouble. He just sat in his seat, sipping cup after cup of wine. 。Feng Zhaolian was still sitting beside Ye Wenyan, but this time she wasn't just talking to Ye Wenyan. She was also flirting with Ye Qingmei. 。This sister looks like a kind and gentle woman. Have you been betrothed If not, there are many fine young men in our Gu Yue clan. Allow me to introduce a few to you. 。"Night Qingmei couldn't stand this kind of conversation anymore. Her face flushed red as she changed positions and sat next to Night Chulian. " 。After Fang Zhaolian finished speaking, she began to tease Ye Chu'ren: "Why do you always look at Quan Qinghua That guy is no good. Don't put your heart on him, or you'll get hurt later." 。If a good girl is troubled by love and hurt because of it, the wound is not easy to heal. 。Listen to me, forget about him. When I get back to Guiyue, I'll find you a good one. 。"
Ye Chu was heartbroken by this, and for a moment she was flustered. She subconsciously looked to see what the old matriarch was doing, afraid that her words would be overheard by her. " 。Luckily, Old Madam was sitting at a table separated from them, so she couldn't hear what they were saying. 。Fēng Zhāo Lián looked at her and smiled, shaking her head while smiling. "You're so timid, afraid of your parents. This personality isn't very good." 。" Night Wen Yan was so angry that he grabbed her arm, "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute! Besides, shouldn't you go back to sit with your emissaries How come you, a deadbeat, won't leave my place" Feng Zhao Lian waved her hand, "Originally, Your Grace wanted to go back, but after that just happened, it made Your Grace so fed up with our envoy..." 。Today is New Year's Eve. If you, Ayan, don't want to attend the palace banquet and see bloodshed, just don't chase me back. Otherwise, if I even get near him, I guarantee he'll be slapped to death. 。Besides, those are all men. You see, I'm so handsome, wouldn't it be like a lamb entering a wolf's den if I sat over there Ayan, would you bear to"She was very willing to sacrifice me, but before she could even speak, she turned her head and saw Zhuai returning. 。As soon as she arrived, Zhuier first performed a courtesy to Mu Shi, then to Ye Wenyan and Ye Qingmei. After that, she glanced at Ye Chulian and also bowed in respect. 。Finally, his gaze fell on Feng Zhaolian. He was startled— "You are a monster"Feng Zhaolian was also startled, "Master, how did I become a monster"Zhuier had her own reasons: "How could there be a woman in this world who looks as beautiful as my elder sister It must be a monster!" With that, she stepped forward and shielded Ye Wenyan behind her, “Sister, don't be afraid, I will protect you. If she dares to make a move, I’ll beat her to death with a brick!”Ye Wenyan rubbed her forehead, she let this girl come over not to fight... 。So, he quickly pulled on the girl’s hand and said, “She is not a monster. She is a princess from the Kingdom of Guiyue here to visit her relatives.” 。I didn't call you here to fight with her, I wanted you to accompany the Emperor and keep him company. 。"
Zhuai'er went to Quan Qingcheng with a look of surprise on her face...extermination and the nine clans are wiped out, I can ensure that Fourth Sister is spared, and those she cares about are also protected. The face of Yanhuagong can still be saved in this way. So the e...
