Chapter 312: The Edict

"Y-what do you want to do?" Empress Cui was furious, staring at Ji Qingchen coldly and shouting. In fact, at this moment, he was not only yelling at Ji Qingchen alone, but also yelling at Li Muzhi, Bai Jin and the three kings. Because at the moment when she saw the three kings walking into the main hall with Li Muzhi and Bai Jin, and then thinking of Ji Qingchen's army besieging the Taiji Palace, she seemed to guess that Ji Qingchen must have reached some agreement with the three kings, Li Muzhi and Bai Jin by doing this.

It's just that no one answered after Queen Cui finished yelling.

Because the ministers in the hall had already been shocked by Ji Qingchen's actions, they looked at Li Muzhi, Bai Jin and the three kings who walked into the hall with a little panic. But all coups will shed blood, and if Ji Qingchen really has a coup d'état today, half of the people in the hall will die in Huangquan. Therefore, everyone will pin their hopes on the Three Kings, Li Muzhi and Bai Jin.

And Bai Jin and Li Muzhi and the three kings did not look at the ministers in the main hall.

I heard Bai Jin say to Ji Qingchen, "Your Highness, since Your Majesty has already told you the place where the edict was released, you can open the edict in front of everyone!" ”

Bai Jin's words were sonorous and powerful, and the ministers in the hall heard them.

Everyone was stunned for a moment after hearing Bai Jin's words, and then moved their eyes to Ji Qingchen. Because none of them heard it wrong, looking for Bai Jin was talking about the edict left by Emperor Yan. Bai Jin's words will not deceive people, could it be that His Majesty really left an edict?

At this moment, the ministers kept their eyes firmly on Ji Qingchen.

And Empress Cui, who was still angry at this moment, was also stunned, and then her body trembled a little and moved her gaze to Bai Jin, and shouted loudly, "Bai Jin, what nonsense are you talking about, when did Your Majesty leave an edict?" ”

"That's right! Bai Jin, don't talk nonsense, when did my father leave an edict that even my mother didn't know about the way, what did Lao Jiu know about the way? Ji Qian also reprimanded.

At this juncture, his address to Bai Jin also changed, and he no longer called Bai Jin the Marquis of Jin, but called him by his name. And Cui Jingsheng is relatively calm, but his face is also very pale, he knows very well that if Emperor Yan really leaves an edict, then no matter what decisions he and Empress Cui make and what achievements they make, everything will be finished as soon as the edict comes out.

Only the ministers didn't dare to speak, and they had already seen that it was obvious that the three kings were uniting with the Northern Liao kings Ji Qingchen and Bai Jin and Li Muzhi to target Empress Cui and Cui Jingsheng.

The strength of the three kings is huge enough, plus Li Muzhi and Bai Jin, the two military bosses, it is enough to suppress Queen Cui and Cui Jingsheng, and now there is another Northern Liao King Ji Qingchen, who is known for his iron blood, how can Queen Cui and Cui Jingsheng still have a chance to turn around?

Therefore, at this moment, even Cha Shenxing and others, who had previously supported Empress Cui and Cui Jingsheng and Ji Qian, also retreated, facing the tens of thousands of iron horsemen outside the palace and the murderous cavalry guards in the palace, saving their lives was the best policy, and others like allegiance and selling their lives were all fake.

"Marquis of Jin, the edict of my father is placed behind the Zhengda Guangming plaque in the Taiji Palace, you can send someone to take it down." Ji Qingchen said.

This was told to him by Emperor Yan, and he didn't know if there was really an edict. And this is the reason why he led 30,000 iron cavalry to surround the imperial city, because he was afraid that this was a trap set by Emperor Yan. If this is the case, he will not be able to take out the edict as soon as he says this, I am afraid that he will not only offend Bai Jin and Li Muzhi, but also offend the ministers in the main hall, so he has such preparations.

"Come on, take down the edict after the Zhengda Guangming plaque!" Bai Jin commanded.

However, the main hall has been surrounded by Ji Qingchen's iron cavalry, and the Taiji Hall has also been occupied by the Xiaoqi battalion, and no one dares to receive the order at this time to take the edict after the Zhengda Guangming plaque.

Therefore, as soon as Bai Jin's words were finished, the ministers in the hall were silent, and no one was willing to take it.

"It's better for the Marquis of Jin to pick it up in person!" Ji Qingchen said to Bai Jin, this is also what he thought about before coming to King's Landing, because of Bai Jin's prestige, as long as Bai Jin takes down the edict and says that the edict is true, no one will suspect that he is fake, so Ji Qingchen decided to do this.

"Since everyone is unwilling, let the old man come!" Bai Jin said, and walked up the steps of the main hall with an excited expression.

At this time, the soldiers of the Xiaocai battalion had already set up a shelf, let Bai Jin walk on the shelf, and moved the shelf to the bottom of the Zhengda Guangming plaque. Bai Jin stood on the shelf, stretched out his hands to reach behind the Zhengda Guangming plaque, and took out a box with both hands.

When the ministers saw this box, they immediately moved their eyes to Bai Jin's hand.

And when Empress Cui saw the box that Bai Jin had taken off, her face was even paler, and a dead gray appeared in her eyes. Because she knows better than anyone that as long as Emperor Yan left an edict in this way, the person who inherited the throne of Dayan in the edict could not be Ji Qian, otherwise why bother putting so much effort to put the edict here? Isn't it just that you don't trust yourself, and you're afraid that you will tear down the edict without permission?

"General Li, you and Prime Minister Pei Cheng will go together to verify the authenticity of the box in the hand of Marquis Jin, and let's open this box again!" Ji Qingchen said. He asked Li Muzhi and Pei Wenju to verify the authenticity of the box, just to let Li Muzhi and Pei Wenju tell the ministers in the palace that the edict was true, because the seal of the box had not been removed.

Sure enough, as soon as Ji Qingchen's voice fell, Li Muzhi and Pei Wenju stepped forward, carefully inspected the box for a long time, and said to everyone, "The box is real, it was sealed by His Majesty himself, and there is no trace of dismantling——"

The two of them are second only to Bai Jin, as long as the two of them say that the box has not been opened and the seal is well preserved, most people will believe their words.

"Then please ask the three of you to read the edict of your father!" Ji Qingchen continued.

As soon as his words fell, Ji Qian, who had already been frightened by this scene, came back to his senses and wanted to rush forward to dismantle the edict, but as soon as his body moved, there was an extra war knife on his neck, which was the war knife of a Xiao cavalry battalion guard.

The knife froze Ji Qian in place like molten iron.

And the original three kings, the princes and the ministers heard Ji Qingchen's words and were about to step forward to check the edict, but when they saw the treatment of Ji Qian, they simply stopped their steps.

Bai Jin, Li Muzhi and Pei Wenju were flushed and very excited.

Because just when Dayan was in the midst of internal fighting and was about to fall apart, Emperor Yan's edict suddenly appeared in front of everyone, which means that the throne has belonging, and from then on, Dayan will end the internal fighting and unite with the outside world, how can they not be happy?

"Please, two of you!" Bai Jin suppressed his excitement and said to Li Muzhi and Pei Wenju.

"Jin Hou, please!" Pei Wenju and Li Muzhi said politely.

The three of them stepped forward and opened the box to seal, Bai Jin took out the edict, read it quickly, and quietly handed over the edict to Li Muzhi, Li Muzhi quickly read it, and handed the edict to Pei Wenju, Pei Wenju After reading the edict, he glanced at Bai Jin and Li Muzhi, and moved his gaze to Ji Qingchen.

But just as Pei Wenju was about to speak, Ji Qingchen said out loud, "Marquis of Jin, General Li and Prime Minister, do you want this king to also see the content of the edict?" ”

Pei Wenju moved his gaze to Li Muzhi and Bai Jin again, the three of them exchanged glances with each other, nodded slightly, and Pei Wenju handed the edict to Ji Qingchen.

And Ji Qingchen took the edict and quickly read the content of the edict, his face became a little pale.

He took a deep breath and said to his ministers, "The king has already read the content of the edict, and he will let the king read it to everyone!" What do the Marquis of Jin, General Li and Prime Minister Pei Cheng think? ”

Bai Jin, Li Muzhi and Pei Wenju glanced at Ji Qingchen with strange expressions, and then at each other, they didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.

Seeing that the three of them had no objections, Ji Qingchen moved his gaze to everyone, and read aloud, "The edict of the emperor of Heaven said: There is the fourth son of the emperor, Ji Wen, who has a good temperament, is good at writing, and is ...... in government affairs."

No matter who it was, everyone was stunned when they heard Ji Qingchen read out the name of the fourth prince Ji Wen. Even Bai Jin, Li Muzhi and Pei Wenju, the three ministers who had read the edict, were stunned when they heard this text read by Ji Qingchen, and they moved their eyes to Ji Qingchen in disbelief.

After Ji Qingchen finished reading the content of the edict, everyone hadn't come back to their senses until Ji Qingchen coughed softly a few times that everyone woke up and stared at Ji Qingchen strangely.

And Ji Qingchen ignored everyone's gaze, and said to the fourth prince Ji Wen, who was still in a daze, "Fourth brother, congratulations-since the father's edict is clearly written, and the fourth brother is appointed as the emperor, please ask the fourth brother to ascend the throne immediately——"

"Lao Jiu-" Ji Wen was about to say something, but was interrupted by Ji Qingchen, and saw Ji Qingchen's murderous face, and said in a stern tone, "The fourth brother can only rest assured that he will ascend the throne, there is the edict of his father and the emperor verified by the Marquis of Jin, General Li and Prime Minister Pei Cheng, who still doubts the authenticity of the edict now, who dares to oppose the fourth brother ascending the throne and becoming the emperor, I, Ji Qingchen, will not let him go first, and will kill him in the Taiji Palace——"

After saying this, Ji Qingchen's eyes were cold, and he moved his gaze to the ministers in the main hall one by one, and then stopped his gaze on Bai Jin, Li Muzhi and Pei Wenju and asked, "Does the Marquis of Jin, General Li and Prime Minister Pei Cheng think this is the case?" ”

The three of them were silent for a moment by Ji Qingchen's gaze, and then saw the Marquis of Jin nodding slightly and said, "Your Highness is right, the edict is true, and now if anyone doubts the content above, don't worry about killing-"

After Bai Jin's words were finished, Li Muzhi and Pei Wenju on the side also nodded busily.

"It's not true—it's not true—" Hearing this, Empress Cui, who was left out in the cold, yelled and said hoarsely as if she was crazy. And Ji Qian on the side also muttered with a pale face, "No, no, my father will not pass on the throne to the fourth brother-no, it really won't be passed on to the fourth brother-"

Only Cui Jingsheng's face was pale, but he still behaved very calmly.
