Chapter 554: Which is true and which is false
"I have already sent someone to get your so-called true edict, and now I just need to wait for Xuanmo to come back to expose your conspiracy. ”
Shen Zeyuan didn't care about Shen Zecang's little trick at all, in his opinion, this was just Shen Zecang's dying struggle.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Shen Zecang was still obsessed, and kept clamoring that he had a real edict in his hand, and Shen Zeyuan's was a fake edict.
"Dog Emperor, you are not worthy of being an emperor, a despicable villain who came to power with a fake edict, where did you come from to be an emperor?"
Shen Zecang laughed madly, I don't know if it was from the heart, or if Shen Zecang had completely gone crazy.
Song Shuyan sat aside, looked at Shen Zecang who wantonly insulted Shen Zeyuan below, clenched his fists angrily, secretly pulled Shen Zeyuan's sleeve, and whispered to Shen Zeyuan.
"Your Majesty, according to the concubines, let him shut up for the time being, so many courtiers are present, even if they are all loyal to Your Majesty, but the rumors are demagogic, what if it ······"
Song Shuyan's worries are not unreasonable, in this court, in addition to some loyal ministers, there are also those uneasy and well-meaning ministers.
"What the queen said is, but the mouth grows on his body, and I can't do anything about it. Shen Zeyuan also wanted to shut up Shen Zecang, but there was nothing he could do.
Even if he used a rope to tie Shen Zecang, Shen Zecang was still struggling while shouting and cursing Shen Zeyuan.
"Hehe, don't dare to admit it, the person who took the fake edict is weak-hearted, are you afraid that I will bring the real edict and kick you down as a fake emperor!"
Shen Zecang laughed, the entire silent court echoed with Shen Zecang's arrogant laughter, and the ministers all bowed their heads and were silent, raising their eyes to look at Shen Zeyuan from time to time.
At this time, Xuan Mo finally came back, thinking that Shen Zecang was talking nonsense, but he didn't expect that in the secret of Shen Zecang's house, there was really an edict.
"Your Majesty, the edict has been brought, please take a look at it. Xuan Mo respectfully presented the edict to Shen Zeyuan, who was very disdainful at first.
Even if there is an edict, it is absolutely impossible to be true, when he was on the throne, but the edict read by the father-in-law next to the first emperor himself.
"Come, bring me the edict left by the first emperor. Shen Zeyuan glanced at Shen Zecang with disdain, and then ordered someone to get the edict he held.
After the two edicts were all in Shen Zeyuan's hands, Shen Zeyuan casually gave all the two edicts to the ministers below and asked them to circulate them one by one.
"Well, since you said that my edict is fake, then let the ministers check it now to see if my edict is fake or if yours is fake. ”
Shen Zeyuan looked at Shen Zecang coldly, but the latter was still laughing madly, shouting: "Haha, it's also fake if you see it, you'd better give me the throne now!"
The ministers took two edicts and checked them one by one, Song Shuyan looked at the two edicts that were passed down, although she knew that Shen Zeyuan's edict must be true, but she didn't know why, she was still faintly uneasy in her heart.
"Go, you can also go down and see which edict is true, and if you have any news, come and tell me. ”
Song Shuyan whispered to his father-in-law who was waiting beside him, and told him to keep an eye on the situation.
"Tsk. The father-in-law nodded, and as soon as he bowed, he withdrew, and also checked the authenticity of the two edicts with the ministers.
"This ······ Which one is real and which one is fake? It's really hard to identify. One of the ministers stroked his beard, his eyes constantly comparing the two edicts back and forth.
"Yes, if you look at the handwriting, both copies look like the handwriting of the first emperor, and they are ······" Another minister "and" for a long time, but could not say why.
"In my opinion, these two edicts may be true, and the first emperor may have made two preparations, and then made a decision at the end?"
"What, how can there be two true edicts, there is only one emperor, and the other is definitely written in the handwriting of the previous emperor!"
"To be honest, I think it's nothing even if it's fake, the emperor's governance for so many years has been smooth, there are no natural or man-made disasters, and the politics are clear, even traitors are very few. ”
"Yes, yes, this is right, if you want me to see, it is Shen Zecang who was so angry that he did not pass the throne to him at the beginning, and he deliberately imitated the fake edict!"
······
The ministers discussed for a while, and after studying the two edicts for a long time, they couldn't see which one was true and which one was false, but the ministers couldn't be blamed, the two edicts were indeed very similar.
Shen Zeyuan couldn't help but feel a little anxious when he saw that the ministers couldn't check it out for a long time, so he urged: "What's the matter? It's been half an hour, and I haven't seen which one is true and which one is false?"
Hearing Shen Zeyuan's urging, the minister holding the edict stepped forward and returned the edict to Shen Zeyuan, and then said: "Your Majesty, these two edicts are really difficult to distinguish between true and false, and those of us who are courtiers can't decide at will. ”
Hearing the minister say this, Shen Zeyuan was interrupted by Shen Zecang before he could speak: "How is it? Can't you tell which one is true and which one is fake?"
Shen Zeyuan ignored Shen Zecang, took the edict and looked at it carefully, and found that it was indeed difficult to distinguish, whether it was the handwriting or the seal of the first emperor, all of them were flawless.
Shen Zeyuan was a little flustered at this moment, although his edict was indeed true, but after Shen Zecang's trouble, there might be a few more changes of heart in the court.
"Don't speak? It's right not to speak, because my edict is true! Shen Zeyuan's copy is fake!" Seeing that no one responded to what he said, Shen Zecang became even more arrogant.
"Could it be that what he said is true? Could it be that the current emperor is really fake?"
"It's hard to say, if it's fake, then won't this court be about to change. ”
The surrounding ministers began to discuss, and some bad words began to spread, which further fueled Shen Zecang's arrogance.
"How about it, it's not too late for me to submit to me, and when I become the emperor, there will be a place for you to enjoy!" Shen Zecang shouted with chains and craned his neck.
The father-in-law sent by Song Shuyan saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly told Song Shuyan about the situation.
Fu Lao followed the Shen family, three generations of dynasties, loyal, and naturally very optimistic about Shen Zeyuan since he was a child, after Shen Zeyuan became the emperor, Fu Lao also gave him a lot of tricks.
Therefore, Song Shuyan believes that after bringing Fu Lao here, he may be able to solve this problem.
