Chapter 416: The Edict That Scared the Dead
"The King of the East China Sea, Liu You, has arrived!"
"Qi King Liu Cheng's arrival!"
"Dongping King Liu Kai has arrived!"
……
In the middle of the hour, the scorching sun slanted into the sky, and with the sound of the trumpet, one after another people began to walk into the Chengde Hall in an endless stream.
Most of these people are very old, and their bodies and bones are not very neat;
However, judging by the appearance of their front and rear feet, they should have waited until everyone had gathered before they came together.
Under the white jade steps on the inside of the hall, before the civil and military officials, twenty-one seats have been placed there;
The people in the hall all turned around and respectfully saluted the people who came in one by one, and even Queen He stood up to show her respect.
As the twenty-one figures all entered the main hall, everyone found that the remaining twenty people were all seated, but there was a middle-aged man in his thirties standing behind the seat, but he didn't have the slightest intention of sitting down.
"Liu Qi, where is your father?"
Empress He nodded to those princes, and then looked at the middle-aged man and asked.
The middle-aged man named Liu Qi suddenly looked gloomy when he heard this, gritted his teeth and said sadly:
"Back to the queen, after learning that His Majesty returned to heaven, his father and him, he couldn't survive, and he followed His Majesty and went to ......"
After Liu Qi finished speaking, he couldn't help but shed tears in the corners of his eyes, but he couldn't bear it and didn't make a sound.
In such a situation, the civil and military officials in the hall who really looked at it were sad again.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Zhang Changshou said before that His Majesty had a decree before returning to heaven, so that all uncles could enter Beijing together before the edict could be announced.
Dare to ask Uncle Wang, is this true? ”
After Empress He sat down, she asked after a pause.
Liu You, the king of the East China Sea, sighed, nodded, and said tremblingly:
"This is indeed true, in fact, three days ago, His Majesty had sent his cronies and guards to convey to us a secret letter, the contents of which were about the edict.
At that time, we only thought that His Majesty was just in case, but we never thought of it......
Alas! ”
"What the King of the East China Sea said is right, this matter is indeed true."
The other princes also nodded their heads in approval.
The civil and military officials were silent for a while, and at this time, Zhang Rang suddenly took out a holy decree from his sleeve robe, and cleared his throat and said:
"Your Majesty treats me well, and I have never read your Majesty's last edict, and I don't know the contents of it except for the princes.
But before His Majesty returned to heaven, he had told him that his final will must be obeyed by all, and if he did not obey, it would be treason!
Where is Guangluxun Yang Biao? ”
"The minister is here!"
Yang Biao hurriedly stepped out of the queue and knelt on one knee and clenched his fists in response.
What Zhang Rang is holding in his hand at this time is His Majesty's will, and what he says is His Majesty's will, so he naturally has to be very respectful.
"Your Majesty's edict must be obeyed! Later, if anyone dares to disobey the order, it will be treason!
For traitors, General Yang should know what to do, right? ”
"No! The minister knows! ”
Yang Biao frowned slightly, but he could only promise, and then turned around and walked out of the hall to dispatch troops.
After Yang Biao returned, Zhang Rang held high the holy decree and showed the secret seal on it to everyone to prove that he had not opened the edict privately.
After counting the breaths, Zhang Rang opened the secret seal and spread out the holy decree.
"Separate from inside and outside, do not disturb, and give to the heirs. Transform into infinity, obey the edict, and bear the precepts forever.
In my first life, the first half of the cultivation, the second half of the squandering, the disaster to the people, the chaos of the common people;
However, when you wake up, it is too late, pity, sorrow, and pain!
I deeply feel that the days are coming to an end, and while I am panicked, I also want to properly explain what happened after my death, so that I can dilute my infamy, have the face to see my ancestors, and live up to the thousands of people of the dynasty.
Today's dynasty is surrounded by internal worries and external troubles, but the heirs are young, stupid and overwhelmed.
After pondering, only one person can save the dynasty from the catastrophe of the abyss.
Although I did everything possible to target Feng Wuji, but when I was critically ill, I knew that his great sage and power could save the people of the dynasty, only Feng Wuji could not.
Therefore, I decided to make this edict, if I unfortunately return to heaven, I will be located in Zhenbei General, Youzhou Mufeng Wuji!
In addition, the Han character is quite a lot of calamities, different from the way of heaven, the new emperor is not allowed to use this country name when he ascends the throne, and it needs to be changed immediately, so as to avoid the suffering of the living and the unknown fortune of the country.
The hundred officials of the dynasty, the relatives of the Liu family, the harem attendants, the famous families, the peddlers and pawns, and the common people of Li all need to uphold the last will of the emperor and fully assist the new emperor to ascend the throne, so that the power of the dynasty can dominate Shenzhou!
My final will, everyone must obey it! If you don't comply, you are treason! Everybody gets it!
……”
When Zhang Rang read out the content of the edict with a shocked face, everyone was completely stunned, and in the huge Chengde Hall, hundreds of people had the same expression, and there was no exception at all......
Oh, except for the princes who just came in......
"Heh, heh, this, open, what are you kidding, how could Your Majesty cede the imperial throne to that Feng Wuji?"
After a long time, a middle-aged official burst out with a stiff dry smile on his face, and his eyes were full of absurdity.
"Not bad! How could Your Majesty have such a ridiculous edict! This edict must be fake! ”
"That's right! This edict is absolutely fake! ”
"Zhang Rang! You dog eunuch! How dare you forge an edict! Is it really impossible to find death?! ”
……
For a while, the crowd was furious, but this time there was no factional distinction, and almost everyone was angry at Zhang Rang in unison.
There were even a few excited people who rushed straight towards Zhang Rang, looking at that look, they wanted to tear Zhang Rang alive.
Zhang Rang's face shook rapidly, and he hurriedly shouted:
"Where is Guangluxun!"
"In!"
"Your Majesty's edict clearly states that if anyone dares to disobey his orders, he is treason!
These guys are treason now, and you won't take them down? Do you dare to disobey the emperor's order? ”
Yang Biao's eyes flickered sharply, his two fists were clenched tightly, he gritted his teeth and struggled for a while, seeing that those people were about to rush up the steps, Yang Biao finally roared:
"Someone!"
Wow!
Stomp, stomp!
As the temple door was pushed open, hundreds of heavily armed Praetorian Guards rushed in.
"Master Zongzheng Cheng Han, Master Shang Shu Lingman, and Master Xu, who will be a master craftsman, please return to the class immediately, otherwise, the law of the country will not allow it!"
The three officials who were about to rush up the white jade stairs to tear Zhang Rang apart couldn't help but stop, looked at those cold-eyed Praetorian Guards glaring, struggled for a while, and had to flick their long sleeves and retreat.
Seeing this scene, Queen He, He Jin and many others all showed pity in their eyes, and at the same time, they glared at Yang Biao with resentment.
Can't this guy wait any longer......
Zhang Rang seemed to be frightened, straightened the gauze hat on his head, and then said with a sad face:
"Alas, I can understand that you are so excited, after all, I am also shocked by Your Majesty's edict, and I never expected such a content.
You said that I forged the edict, hehe, how can I be so bold?
What's more, Your Majesty has told you in advance about this matter, is it possible that you think that the princes are also colluding with me to forge the edict?
Although the content of the edict is very difficult to accept, the edict is the edict, this is the will of His Majesty, if you do not obey, it is treason!
I can not investigate your behavior before, but if you dare to disobey or mess around, don't blame our family anymore! ”
He Jin glared angrily and said:
"Zhang Rang, you don't act here much, how could Your Majesty make such a ridiculous edict?
The crown prince has always been smart, and it is only natural that he ascended the throne!
If you admit that you forged the edict, the general can pardon your sins and allow you to live out your old age in peace.
If you don't admit it, hmph, forging the edict is a big crime for the Nine Clans......"
At this time, Liu You, the king of the East China Sea, suddenly said loudly:
"The great general shall not be like this, for the edict is indeed true.
To be honest, when this king first learned of His Majesty's intentions, he was just like you, and it was difficult to accept it at all.
We are relatives of the Liu clan, and compared to you, it is even more difficult for us to accept this decision.
However, after calming down and thinking about it for a few days, we also felt that this was not an unacceptable decision.
After all, now that the Shenzhou Continent is in turmoil and wars, maybe a big war that will affect the entire continent will happen at any time.
And our Eastern Han Dynasty has internal and external troubles, especially after the ravages of the Yellow Turban bandits, the entire dynasty is full of holes.
In this case, if no one with great wisdom stands up, I am afraid that our Eastern Han Dynasty will really be wiped out in the dust of history.
Braids and Xie'er are still young, and they can't pick up the girder at all, and looking at the others, the only one who has the ability to turn the tide is only that Feng Wuji. ”
He Jin snorted coldly and said:
"What did the King of the East Sea say? Although the prince is young, he has the support of General Ben, what are you afraid of?
According to what you mean, General Ben is not as good as that Feng Wuji? ”
Liu Zhi, the king of Zhongshan, chuckled and said:
"General He, if you want to say this, I'm afraid this king can only say one word, you are indeed inferior to that Feng Wuji, and you are far inferior."
He Jin was suddenly furious, and took two steps forward to stare at Liu Zhi, with endless murderous aura raging in his eyes.
Yang Biao was in a hurry when he saw this scene, and immediately rushed over with a team of Praetorian Guards.
"General, what do you want? Could it be that he wants to kill the King of Zhongshan?! ”
He Jin stared at the Praetorian Guards who were staring at him, so he could only forcibly suppress the killing intent, and stood back after glaring at Liu Zhi coldly.
"Princes, it is not for us to question the authenticity of the edict and question the words of the princes;
It's just that the content of this edict is indeed too unbelievable, perhaps this edict was made when His Majesty was in confusion;
Therefore, this matter still needs to be discussed in detail. ”
At this time, Situ Wang Yun's eyes rolled, but he suddenly stood up and said.
"Wang Situ's words are reasonable, this edict may really be made by His Majesty when he was delirious, so it may not be able to be counted."
"Yes, that's right, if this edict was made by His Majesty when he was confused, it would be bad."
