The Empress Dowager's edict?

Xiang Yan's eyes sank, and he had a bad premonition.

This banquet in the Zhenbei Wangfu doesn't seem to be so simple.

Ximen Shuang and Wednesday Gongzi were also secretly frightened, when the Queen Mother was in Yidi and chaotic Beijing, she led a group of eunuchs and palace maids under her to resist to the death, and finally died in the country. Although she is now dead, her reputation is unprecedentedly high, and the court and the people have a very high opinion of her.

Her edict must be related to the throne.

In the case that the heir to the throne designated by the first emperor, the third prince Li Shiping, has died at the hands of the fourth prince Li Shiqing, and the orthodox heir to the throne is empty, the queen mother has the power to set up a new emperor. It can be said that the heir to the throne designated by her is the legitimate successor of Daxing.

This edict undoubtedly has considerable influence, and may even change the current situation of the three powerhouses standing side by side.

Xiang Yan, Ximen Shuang, and Wednesday Gongzi looked at each other.

Who will the Queen Mother choose?

The Great Prince? Second prince? Or the Four Princes?

Li Zhen, the king of Zhenbei, and Li Mo, the prince of Zhenbei, had already taken the lead in kneeling down at this time, and the princess of Zhenbei followed, but her eyes were a little puzzled, and even she didn't know about this matter. However, Princess Zhenbei doesn't care much about this kind of thing, she has great confidence in Li Zhen and Li Mo, no matter what they decide, she just needs to follow, with them, Zhenbei Wangfu will always be Zhenbei Wangfu. Princess Zhenbei was not worried at all. And under their leadership, everyone in Zhenbei City was naturally half a cut short together. Only Xiang Yan, Ximen Shuang, and Zhou Gongzi were still standing, which was particularly abrupt.

"The prince of Dongping, the lord of Ximen, and the prince of Wednesday, are you going to be disrespectful to the queen mother?"

The king of Zhenbei asked unhappily.

Xiang Yan's eyes were uncertain, if the Queen Mother chose an heir, then the fourth prince Li Shiqian could be excluded first. Li Shiqing killed the three princes designated by the emperor, Li Shiping, and established himself as the emperor, for which the Empress Dowager Xiao has always refused to admit it, and the Empress Dowager's edict will definitely not choose him. Then there are only two people left, the eldest prince Li Shisheng and the second prince Li Shichang. Which one will the Queen Mother choose? It is really difficult to guess which one is not particularly favored by Li Shisheng and Empress Dowager Xiao of Li Shichang Xiao. He subconsciously looked at Li Zhen, the king of Zhenbei, hoping to get a hint, after all, he has such a relationship with Li Tong now, and Li Zhen, the king of Zhenbei, should not want this throne to fall into the hands of others, right? But Xiang Yan didn't find anything from Li Zhen's face, Li Zhen just shouted angrily: "Don't kneel down yet?" Do you want me to have you on your knees? ”

Xiang Yan lifted his robe and knelt down.

The 1 in 2 chance is still quite large, and it's worth the bet.

Ximen Shuang and Xiang Yan's ideas are similar, the second prince supported by Xichuan still has a chance, which is better than the fourth prince supported by the Zhou family.

Therefore, Ximen Shuang also knelt down after Xiang Yan.

Only the prince of Wednesday secretly shouted badly, and the queen mother's edict was really unfavorable to the four princes supported by their Zhou family.

This queen mother's edict, others can gamble.

But he couldn't.

Gambling knowing that you are going to lose is a fool's doing.

Wednesday Childe is naturally not a stupid person.

In the blink of an eye, Childe Wednesday had a decision. He said coldly: "The Queen Mother has passed away, how do I know if this edict is true or false?" On the premise of not figuring out this problem, I can't accept this edict! ”

Li Zhen, the king of Zhenbei, was furious.

"I am the king of Zhenbei, I don't know how many edicts I have read, can't I even tell the truth of the edict from the false?"

Wednesday Gongzi sneered and confronted Li Zhen, the king of Zhenbei: "I'm afraid that some people don't know the truth from the fake, but they know it's fake but still think it's true, and they have bad intentions." ”

Zhenbei King Li Zhen's face was pale.

This is a naked slander, and its heart can be punished.

If this kind of word spreads, I am afraid that not only will the authenticity of this edict be doubted, but it will also have a very bad impact on the reputation of the Zhenbei Palace.

This week, the family sent these three sons, and it really makes sense.

I'm afraid that few people can match this eagerness.

King Zhenbei really couldn't think of how to break this situation for a while, this edict is not a street product, there are not many people who have seen it, and even if someone else has seen it, Zhou Gongzi can say that the person was bought by him. It's true, but there's no way to prove it's true.

King Zhenbei's chest was very blocked, and he really wanted to give Zhou Gongzi half on the spot regardless of what he wanted, and dissipate the breath in his heart. But in the end, I know in my heart that this will not help, and it will only make the people of the world believe that this edict is fake. The good advantage was just in vain, and it would be notorious.

It's really embarrassing.

Xiao Zheng was also secretly anxious in his heart, seeing that the king of Zhenbei was fine, he couldn't help but stand up and said to the prince on Wednesday: "The queen mother is my aunt, I know her handwriting best, this is handed over to me by her old man when I left Beijing, and I know her handwriting best, if someone cheats it, I can't hide it, I can always prove the truth of this edict, right?" ”

King Zhenbei let out a long breath and glanced at Xiao Zheng gratefully.

However, since Childe Wednesday said something like that, how could he be so resigned.

He sneered: "In this world, there are many unscrupulous descendants who have betrayed their ancestors and forgotten their ancestors for the sake of profit. Even if this is not the case, it is very likely that you will be coerced by others to do something against your conscience for the safety of your wife and children. Xiao Guogong is now under the protection of others, how can what you say be true? ”

Xiao Zheng was so angry that he couldn't speak.

This Wednesday son, he dared to slander him for forging his aunt's edict in order to make a living, how dare he? Too angry, the face of the protector Xiao Zheng turned red, and his chest rose and fell violently.

At this time, the generals of the Zhenbei Army saw that the prince of Zhou first slandered the king of Zhenbei, and the protector Xiao Zheng was relieving the siege of the king of Zhenbei, but they were slandered together, which was really unbearable, and they were all angry.

"Boy, are you a talkative kid like you when you are the prince of our family? My prince is a big man who says yes, and if he says yes, if this edict is true, then it will never be fake. ”

"How dare you slander the prince like this, this kid has eaten the courage of an ambitious leopard, see if I don't pick up his skin."

"Boy, now immediately apologize to my lord, don't let my old Zhang be the first to bypass you!"

…… The generals of the Zhenbei army spoke one after another, and the crowd was excited. Zhenbei Wangfu has been operating for many years, and the prestige of Zhenbei Wangfu is extremely high, and some people even say that what if the edict is fake, even if it is fake, Zhenbei Wang said that it is true. Everyone's verbal criticism, and some people even rolled up their sleeves, and they wanted to teach Wednesday a good lesson on the spot. In the face of such a bad situation, the prince of Wednesday just smiled coldly and looked at the generals with contempt, not afraid at all. There is a posture of not hesitating to die for the sake of righteousness.
