Just when the officials were thinking differently, the drums of the noon gate sounded, and according to the usual practice, a group of officials wanted to line up to enter the noon gate, but everyone encountered an embarrassing problem.

When everyone lined up according to the officials, they suddenly found that there were many overlapping official positions.

Like the first assistant scholar of the cabinet, it was supposed to be Wang Quan, but Wang Quan was dismissed by the second prince and put in prison, so it is naturally impossible for the first auxiliary scholar of the cabinet to be empty all the time.

Wu Cheng, the original secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was promoted to the first assistant scholar of the cabinet by the second prince, and now he was very embarrassed to see Wang Quan standing in the position of the first assistant scholar of the cabinet.

Wu Cheng did not participate in the mutiny, but he did submit to the second prince at the beginning, so after the success of the second prince's mutiny, he chose to cling, although he also knew that this was an obstacle to his reputation, but he still couldn't resist the temptation. After all, everyone thought that the general situation was set at that time.

Because of his prestige among the hundred officials, he was promoted by the second prince to the first assistant scholar of the cabinet.

No one expected that the third prince would suddenly appear in Jizhou to raise troops and enter Beijing, even so he didn't feel panicked, and no one thought that the Beijing camp would turn against him at that time.

This night was so difficult for him, it made him age a lot all of a sudden, he originally planned to stay at home with illness, but he thought that hiding was not a way after all, so he came to fight his spirit.

But he didn't expect to encounter such an embarrassing scene, he naturally didn't have the confidence to compete with Wang Quan, after all, the two princes were already dead. So where should he stand?

It is impossible for him to stand in the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, because he has been promoted to a cabinet scholar, and the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites is naturally also person.

He is not the only one who is embarrassed, many officials are facing this embarrassing problem.

After all, Wang Quan has been up and down for a long time, and immediately raised his voice: "Everyone stands according to the original shift, and if there is really no place, just stand in the back temporarily." ”

The civil and military officials stood still again, and only then did the officials line up again and walk towards the noon gate.

Zheng Yi was already waiting in front of the Fengtian Gate, his hands holding a will, which was the edict of the first emperor and the prince.

Originally, the emperor died, and these should be presided over by the empress, but there is no empress in this dynasty.

"Wang Ge Lao!"

"Gonggong Zheng!"

One of the two is the head of the civil official, and the other is the head of the internal official, and they finally met after experiencing the turmoil in Beijing.

"Please also ask Wang Ge Lao and all the adults to stay for a while, now that the emperor has died, the two queens have already passed away, and there is no owner in the palace, so our family has the courage to invite the eldest princess of Ningyang to preside, I don't know what the elder thinks?" Zheng Yi said.

Wang Quan nodded and said, "Grandpa Wang is very thoughtful. ”

The eldest princess of Ningyang? A group of officials suddenly thought of her, there is a noble person in Beijing, the capital is chaotic, and everyone has forgotten this important figure.

"The eldest princess of Ningyang has arrived!"

"See Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess!"

Princess Ningyang walked in front of the hundred officials, and changed the graceful atmosphere on her body, but she looked heroic, her eyes swept over everyone, and she said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency is exempt." ”

"The second prince colluded with the temple and brazenly launched a mutiny, the royal brother died in the Fangshan Palace, the sun and the moon were gone, and the country was overturned.

"Although rebellion was punished, but the court is still in turmoil, the country can not be without a king for a day, today hundreds of officials gathered here, when the new monarch should be re-established to inherit the unification."

Zheng Yi took a step forward and said: "My lords, although the emperor has not established a prince, he has already established a prince, and even has prepared the will of the prince, just waiting to be promulgated by the world. ”

"It's just that before the world could be promulgated, the Fangshan Mutiny occurred, and our family has the edict of the emperor and the prince."

After that, Zheng Yi slowly unfolded the emperor's edict, and all the officials knelt down.

"Since ancient times, the emperor has succeeded the heavens and established the imperial area, and will establish the Yuan Prince, Maolong Guoben, and the Mianzong Society will have no borders. I have been working hard all night. Look up to the ancestors and entrust them to the fullest. Cheng Ao Yanqing, end in Yuanliang. The son-in-law Ning Ri is a hero, gifted and beautiful, and the will of heaven belongs, and hereby abide by the original edict, carry the ceremony, and submit to public opinion, and I would like to tell heaven and earth, the temple, and the community to be the crown prince, and the east palace is in the east palace, with the unity of ten thousand years, and the heart of the four seas. Announce to the world, and make the salty envoy known. ”

Zheng Yi's voice echoed in front of the Fengtian Gate, and every official heard it clearly.

It was only after Zheng Yi's voice stopped and the hundred officials shouted long live that they stood up one after another.

Zheng Yi agreed with his will, walked towards Wang Quan Zhengse and said, "Please ask the elder and Lord Shangshu to verify the authenticity of the edict?" ”

Wang Quan solemnly took it over and checked it with Li Gelao, Gu Gelao, Wei Shangshu, Chen Shangshu and others who were also in prison.

In fact, at first, when they heard that the third prince had entered Beijing with the emperor's edict, they didn't believe it, thinking that this was the strategy of the third prince to attack the second prince.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Yi really read out the emperor's edict in a matter-of-fact manner, which was beyond their expectations, and when they took over the will, they found out that this was really the emperor's will.

Several people whispered a few words, and Wang Quan raised his voice: "This is indeed the emperor's holy decree, and it is also written by the emperor himself." ”

The hundred officials, who had been quiet, also had a slight commotion, obviously they didn't expect that there would really be an edict from the emperor.

They were convinced by the confirmation of Wang Quan and others, after all, this scholar and Shangshu had always been prestigious in the court, and they had also shown their iron backbone in this turmoil.

The eldest princess of Ningyang raised her voice and said: "This is indeed written by the imperial brother himself, and this palace can even guarantee it with his own life, because when the imperial brother wrote this will, this palace was on the side." ”

Wang Quan said in a deep voice: "This is indeed the will of the first emperor himself. ”

The eldest princess of Ningyang said in a deep voice: "The third prince is the prince of the prince, both civil and military, talented and beautiful, and has always been the favorite candidate of the prince in the heart of the imperial brother. ”

Princess Ningyang and Zheng Yi both looked at Wang Quan tightly, a little nervous in their hearts, although Tang Ning has now controlled the situation in the capital and is only one step away from the throne, but how to ascend the throne is very important.

Only by gaining the approval of the ministers and inheriting the throne with the prince is orthodox, and it is the most unspeakable, not only will it not leave any stain in the history books, but it can also be subdued from all over the world.
