Chapter 785: Saber Rattling

Everyone was dazzled by the bright yellow in King Mu's hand, and as King Mu slowly unfolded the thing in his hand, he fell to his knees.

King Mu squinted at Wei Wuxie: "Isn't Grandpa Wei not recognizing what this is?"

Wei Wuxian looked at it again and again, and with his incomparable familiarity with the material of the holy decree, he confirmed that it was the true holy decree, and he had to kneel.

King Mu handed over the things in his hand to Xu Mingda, the first assistant who was kneeling in front of the minister: "Please let the first assistant announce the edict of the emperor on behalf of the emperor." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was even more surprised, staring at the thing in King Mu's hand.

How could there be an edict in King Mu's hands?

The first emperor - phew, why did the emperor write an edict?

Xu Mingda took the "edict" with both hands and stood up, his fingertips trembled lightly, and under the gaze of countless eyes, he hesitated for a moment, and read in a trembling voice: "King Mu's sixth son, the sixth son of the emperor, has a valuable character, and he will be able to inherit the unification, succeed me to the throne, and succeed the emperor's ......."

Xu Mingda stared intently at the jade seal, and the more he looked at it, the colder his heart became.

It turned out to be true, the emperor had already written an edict and passed the throne to King Mu!

The ministers who knelt on the ground were silent, and their hearts also set off a monstrous wave.

At this moment, Wei Wuxian suddenly stood up, and the shocked expression at the beginning of seeing the "edict" faded, and he said expressionlessly: "Our family is a eunuch who has never left the emperor's side, why don't you know when the emperor wrote such a 'testament'?"

"Is this a question about the falsity of the edict?" King Mu looked angry, "Then please ask Grandpa Wei to open his eyes and take a closer look!"

Wei Wuxian came over unceremoniously, and after reading the edict in Xu Mingda's hand, he couldn't bear the shock in his heart, and said sharply: "This edict is definitely fake!"

The mood of the ministers at the moment is like walking on the mountain road, after nine curves and eighteen bends, their faces are numb.

The sky is about to change, and at this time, they should be a quiet and low-key courtier.

"Father-in-law Wei, since you are a eunuch with a pen, aren't you familiar with your father's handwriting?

"Of course we are familiar with it. Wei Wuxian said without hesitation.

"Then ask Gonggong Wei to touch his conscience and say, are the handwriting and jade seal on this edict fake?" King Mu said aggressively, looking at Wei Wuxian and sneering.

Wei Wuxian glanced around at the ministers, and finally fell back on King Mu's face, and sneered: "What if the handwriting and the jade seal are not fake? Things are dead, people are alive, the emperor is currently in retreat, he can come out to summon everyone in two days, won't he be able to see it clearly then? Or is it that the prince is so anxious to take out the so-called edict to break into the palace, is it an intention to force the palace to usurp the throne?"

"Wei Wuxie, you are bold! What are you, dare to slander this king with red lips and white teeth? Don't forget, this king is the son of his father, what are you?"

"No matter what our family is, it is the eunuch of the emperor's own order, and he is also the governor of Dongchang, and now the prince intends to endanger the emperor's safety, and our family will swear to stop it!"

When the atmosphere was tense, Xu Mingda opened his mouth and asked, "Dare to ask the prince where did this 'edict' come from?"

King Mu looked at Xu Mingda and said lightly: "Naturally, someone quietly passed it on to this king on the orders of his father." ”

"Who's that guy?"

King Mu hesitated.

Wei Wuxian sneered: "At this time, why can't the prince say that person? Or is that person unable to see the light in the first place, and he has malicious intentions to come up with such a fake edict?"

Before Wei Wuxie's words fell, a faint voice came: "That person is me." ”

As the palace doors opened, a man dressed in eunuch garb stepped out.

Wei Wuxian's face changed suddenly.

The person who came was Liu Chun, the palm print eunuch whose status was still above him.

In the celebrant eunuch, the palm print eunuch was originally the first person and was known as the prime minister, but because Wei Wuxian won the trust of Emperor Ming Kang and concurrently served as the commander of Dongchang, the limelight had already overshadowed Liu Chun for many years and became an existence that no one dared to provoke.

Liu Chun is not as tall as Wei Wuxie, and he is also old, and he looks like a dry old man with white skin and no beard at the moment, but he will not fall behind after his momentum is completely released.

He looked at Wei Wuxian with somewhat cloudy eyes open, but his heart was not as calm as it seemed.

He has been suppressed by Wei Wuxian to the death, and he has become a joke among the previous eunuchs with palm seals.

After years of forbearance and waiting, he finally made him wait for this day, as long as he helped King Mu to ascend the throne, then he would definitely have Wei Wuxian die without a place to be buried!

The two great eunuchs looked at each other silently, and the ministers seemed to be overwhelmed by Mount Tai, and they did not dare to make a sound.

If the person who gave King Mu the edict was Liu Chun, the eunuch with the palm print, then there is a good chance that this edict is true.

The ministers were thinking of this, and Liu Chun spoke: "When the emperor handed over in spring and summer, he felt physically exhausted, and he also had insight into Wei Wuxie, the eunuch of Bingbi and the governor of Dongchang, to eliminate dissidents and specialize in court politics, so he secretly wrote this edict and handed it to our family, explaining that once the emperor has anything abnormal, he will try to pass this edict to Prince Mu, so as to prevent Wei Wuxian from harming the world......"

Listening to Liu Chun's words, King Mu lowered his eyes to cover the joy in his eyes.

With Liu Chun's words, the ministers should no longer have doubts about the authenticity of this edict.

"Liu Chun, you don't want to talk nonsense!" Wei Wuxian said sharply.

Liu Chun sneered without showing weakness: "Why does Father-in-law Wei accuse our family of talking nonsense? Although you are a person close to the emperor, don't forget, our family is the same, and you have been serving by the emperor's side even when you were a little eunuch!"

Anyway, my face has been torn, either you die or I die

"But don't you think it's ridiculous to say this? If the emperor was disgusted with me in the spring and summer, would he keep me until now? Who in this world can make the emperor feel wronged?" Wei Wuxian retorted sharply.

Liu Chun clasped his hands into fists and arched to the sky: "Our family doesn't dare to speculate on the holy will, anyway, the edict was indeed handed over to our family by the emperor." Yesterday, our family saw that the emperor did not appear on the day of leaving the customs, and the behavior of Gonggong Wei was quite strange, so he quietly sent it out and handed it to Prince Mu according to the emperor's instructions earlier. ”

King Mu spoke at the right time: "That's exactly the case, otherwise how could this king be so anxious to come and ask to see his father? Seeing this edict, this king is heartbroken, because it means that there is a chance that something has happened to his father." ”

King Mu said and raised his sleeves to wipe away his tears: "Who the father passed the throne to, this is not allowed to be ignored by others, but if something happens to the father and the emperor is deliberately concealed by the traitor, if we are still indifferent, then it will be difficult to escape the crime!"

When the ministers heard this, they couldn't help but nod.

Seeing that the expressions of the ministers were relaxed, King Mu raised his arms while the iron was hot: "My lords, now that Xiao Wang's edict is in hand, and there is a palm print father-in-law as proof, what are you waiting for? Is the safety of your father no better than your personal gains and losses? Xiao Wang repeated, if his father is safe and sound, then Xiao Wang is willing to bear the consequences!"

Seeing that the ministers had been moved by King Mu's words, it was clear that Liu Chun had intervened sideways and affected the situation, and Wei Wuxian secretly said that it was not good.
