When I returned to Zhongjing this time, I wanted to show my strength and do something big vigorously, but I didn't expect that on the first day I came back, I was hit by a blow in the face, Murong Hang made a difficulty, questioned me, and successfully removed me from the position of commander of the Shenwei Battalion.

As a result, not only did I lose the important bargaining chip of the Shenwei Battalion, but my plan was also disrupted.

I couldn't help but feel extremely depressed, I was unwilling to leave like this, and I was unwilling to declare my whole plan a failure because of Murong Hang's difficulties.

But even if I am unwilling, the queen has already made the final decision, and it is impossible for me to change the facts.

After today's meeting, Shoufu and the imperial family will go to the imperial study to take out the edict left by Emperor Zhengming and read it in public, but I have been deposed and cannot be there in person.

……

After I withdrew, Shousuke and the Empress led the royal family to the Imperial Study, and along the way they were escorted by the guards of the Shenwei Battalion to ensure safety, and Emperor Zhengming died, and the entire Imperial City became tense and full of suffocating atmosphere, so even if it was the Imperial Palace, the Shenwei Camp was also frightened step by step, and did not dare to relax in the slightest, so as not to happen again.

The expression of the eldest prince was not good-looking after he was deposed, his face was like the face of a dead man, and when Emperor Zhengming died, his face was not so ugly.

He has staked all his fortune on me, and our destinies are closely linked, one in glory and in the other, and now that I have been deposed, he has also been dealt a heavy blow.

Diametrically opposed to the eldest prince, Murong Hang has been laughing in his heart, always proud, if it weren't for the death of Emperor Zhengming, it would not be appropriate to laugh publicly, I am afraid that he would have laughed out loud.

According to his plan, the next step will be to nominate Guan Weiqing to take my place, so that on the day of the competition, Guan Weiqing's strength is not very difficult.

When Guan Weiqing sits on the position of the commander of the Shenwei Battalion and the edict is officially announced, then he will be stable.

When she arrived outside the imperial study, the queen first asked the Shenwei camp guards guarding outside the imperial study to open the door and enter the imperial study.

Since the edict was sealed here, this is an important place in the palace, and no one is allowed to approach it casually, otherwise it will be killed.

Even as the commander of the Kamui Battalion, I am not allowed to step into the Imperial Study without permission, and if it is really necessary to enter, I must be accompanied by at least two members of the Imperial Family.

This edict is very important, and its guards are also extremely strict.

Sealed together with the edict are the jade seal of Dayan and the treasure knife of the town, both of which are indispensable symbols of the emperor.

The jade seal is still regarded as the official seal of the emperor, and official edicts need to be printed before they can be effective.

As soon as Murong Hang, the eldest prince, the third prince Murong Qi, and the fourth prince Murong Siqi entered the imperial study, all their eyes were unanimous, and they all looked at the plaque hanging behind the desk in the imperial study.

The edict is there, and it will be possible to officially reveal its content later, and decide the fate of the princes.

Shoufu walked to the desk, then turned around and asked Duan Zhixing to fetch a ladder and take down the edict.

Duan Zhixing received the order, turned out of the imperial study, asked the two guards to bring the ladder, put the ladder on the wall, and then the first assistant went up to get the edict.

Shousuke was already old, and he trembled when he climbed the stairs, making people worry that he might fall off the ladder at any moment.

Duan Zhixing was even more afraid that Shoufu would fall, so he said repeatedly: "Shoufu, be careful." ”

Shousuke finally climbed to the top of the ladder in full view of everyone, reached for the plaque, and took off the brocade box containing the edict behind the plaque, and then retreated.

Seeing the brocade box being taken out, the light in Murong Hang's eyes became hotter and hotter, and he was only one step away from becoming the king of a country and being proud of the world.

Shoufu took down the edict, and then opened the brocade box in public, and in an instant, the eyes of several princes bloomed with strange brilliance, frozen in the brocade box.

There is a treasure knife in the brocade box, a sealed edict, and a jade seal, which are the three things related to who will become the heir to the throne, and the meaning behind these three things is more than their own value.

As soon as the three things were revealed, the scene was extremely quiet, and everyone's hearts and breaths began to beat faster.

The most critical moment has finally arrived.

Shousuke picked up the edict and read it out in public.

The content of the edict is relatively long, Emperor Zhengming first reflected on the mistakes of his life, and said that he knew that he would not live long, in order to avoid the princes from competing for the throne, and hurt the peace, so this edict is hereby established, and several princes are not allowed to have any disputes after his death, because of the throne, otherwise it will be regarded as unfilial piety.

When these words came out, it seems that Emperor Zhengming also expected that after his death, because of the throne, the princes would turn against him.

The long content, every word is the words of Emperor Zhengming's heart, and it also reflects his helplessness as an emperor and a father.

But in fact, who among the princes present can appreciate his hard work?

When the queen heard the last words of Emperor Zhengming, who was read by Shoufu, she couldn't help but burst into tears, and tears fell in a stream.

She has only one man in her life, and that is Emperor Zhengming, and now that Emperor Zhengming is gone, she can't help but feel lonely and lonely.

At the end of the long content, Emperor Zhengming wrote his preferred candidate.

Murong Hang!

Sure enough, it was Murong Hang!

When Shoufu read out Murong Hang's name, the reaction on the scene was fierce, but it was different.

First of all, Murong Hang, after he heard the name, although he already knew it, he still couldn't help but feel overjoyed, and almost danced, but on the surface, he pretended to be grateful, and fell to the ground with a plop, crying: "Father! ”

The sorrow of that voice is so sad that if you don't know the inside story, you will definitely think that he is a filial son.

The third prince Murong Qi's eyes flashed with jealousy, but he didn't say a word, just gritted his teeth, showing his inner unwillingness, dissatisfaction, and jealousy.

He thinks that he is no worse than Murong Hang, why did Emperor Zhengming specify that Murong Hang should inherit the throne and not choose him?

He hated, hated Emperor Zhengming's partiality and injustice to him.

The fourth prince, Murong Siqi, had no expression on the surface, but he must not be reconciled in his heart.

The eldest prince was stunned, although he had long heard Hou Yibai reveal that Murong Hang was the heir appointed by Emperor Zhengming, but as the eldest son, the eldest prince still found it difficult to accept this fact after hearing that the edict was announced.

The queen wiped her tears, collected her mood, and said loudly: "You all know what your father and the emperor mean, I hope you can follow his teachings, don't turn your eyes on the throne, and live in harmony." ”

"Yes, Queen Mother!"

Although they were unwilling, although they were reluctant, all the princes still respectfully agreed.

……

After I was removed from my post, I had to hand over to Duan Zhixing and Song Chaoyi, but in fact, there was nothing to hand over, just hand over the unicorn seal and uniform to Song Chaoyi and Duan Zhixing, and then the two of them to the queen.

When the princes went to the imperial study to get the edict, I was bored waiting, so I walked around the Kamui camp.

There were many guards left behind in the Shenwei Battalion, and there were also guards who were not on duty and were resting, and they still saluted and greeted me respectfully when they saw me.

It can be seen that they are very convinced of me, but it is precisely this that makes me even more reluctant to leave.

When I walked to the stable and saw the tall and mighty horse stepping on the clouds, the reluctance was even stronger.

I couldn't help but walk up to Tayun, gently stroke Tayun's horsehair, and say to myself, "Tayun, you know? I'm leaving here today, and I probably won't see you again. ”

Tayun seemed to understand my words, and turned his head to rub against my face.

I then said, "Okay, let's take one last lap today." He unreined his horse, led Tayun out of the stable, went to the outside field, and turned over into the stable.

It seems that Tayun is also in a particularly bad mood today, and at the beginning, he tore off his four hooves and ran on the field wantonly, bringing up patches of yellow sand.

I rode on the back of the clouds, but I couldn't help the ups and downs of thoughts, for a while I remembered the original pride and ambition, and my mood was agitated, and then I thought that Murong Hang was about to become the new emperor, and my heart was unwilling.

Drive!

I pinched the horse's belly hard, and the four hooves of the clouds flew, galloping like flying, and the sand and dust splashed.
