Gonggong Li has served the emperor for many years and knows the emperor's handwriting, so he sent someone to find a prisoner who had written for the emperor, asked him to write an edict, and then stamped it with a jade seal, and made an edict that could be faked and true.

In order to prevent the East Window incident, after the prisoner wrote the edict, Gonggong Li threw the man into the moat. The whole process is really seamless.

Because things were going very smoothly, the prince let himself wait outside the capital, and the people who might set foot in the capital at any time retreated. The prince hurried back to his house and pretended to sleep at home for the night.

The next day, when I got up again, the news of the emperor's death spread throughout the capital. Someone vaguely heard that the emperor killed himself because he had obtained incurable evidence. In order to prevent the emperor from killing him, several ministers who were highly respected in the court also specially asked a doctor to examine the emperor's body.

It turned out that the emperor had an incurable disease, his entire stomach was eaten empty by worms, and the stomach still contained a large amount of anesthetics, it seemed that the emperor couldn't stand the pain because of it. before choosing suicide.

On the same day, Gonggong Li took out the edict prepared in advance and handed it over to the ministers.

The crown prince's ascension is basically a matter of course, even if the emperor wants to pull the crown prince a few days ago, the prince is still the prince, and after they read it, they acquiesced to the prince's accession to the throne.

Two days later, the city of the enthronement went so smoothly that it made the crown prince feel a little unreal. However, time simply did not allow her to think about so many things.

At the moment when he was about to sit on the throne, something unexpected happened. Four or five princes suddenly appeared out of nowhere and interrupted the enthronement ceremony.

"The emperor was killed by him, and the person the emperor wants to set up is not him!" The person who spoke was the Four Princes.

Although the fourth prince has no intention of being an emperor, he is a well-known filial son. Originally, he was still sleepless at night for the emperor's death, but last night, he suddenly heard his subordinates say that a corpse had been found in the moat, and he felt suspicious, so he went to see it.

At a glance, he happened to meet with the five princes, and the five princes also had important clues about the prince's poisoning, and after the two of them met, they combined the information they had at hand.

The crown prince has gone half of the canonization ceremony, and the matter has come to this point, how can he return it?

Thinking like this, the prince turned half of his body, looked at the two people in the audience coldly, and asked very disdainfully, "What evidence do you have?" ”

"One person died in the moat last night, it was a prisoner who had written for the emperor himself, how could he be so coincidental that he would die at this time?"

Hearing this, the prince glanced at Gonggong Li next to him without a trace. Gonggong Li's face was pale, and he didn't dare to look at the prince at all.

The prince hooked the corners of his mouth contemptuously and said, "Bold, just one prisoner is trying to figure out the holy will, what do you think?" This palace now has every reason to suspect that you killed the prisoner, and then slandered this palace! ”

What a counter-general, the four princes were speechless. He tugged at the clothes of the fifth prince next to him and motioned for him to speak.

The fifth prince pursed his lips and pulled a dagger out of his chest, "Prince, this dagger is the one used by the emperor when he committed suicide, although there is nothing on it, but this king found out that half a month ago, you bought a dagger in Jiangnan Factory, which is exactly the same as this one, how do you explain?" ”

"Huh." The prince smiled again, "Half a month ago, the palace did order a dagger in the Jiangnan Manufacturing Workshop, but the dagger was bought for thousands of dollars, which was used to give benefits to the army. According to you, anyone who has this dagger is a murderer? ”

"You!"

Neither of them had evidence sufficient to prove the crown prince's guilt. After thinking about it, the four and five princes glanced at each other, and felt that for the sake of today's plan, only by magnifying the move could they deter him.

Anyway, they have already come to this point, and if they really let a villain like the prince get their will, they will have to fade if they don't die, so they can only fight!

Thinking like this, the fourth and fifth princes turned around and motioned for the six princes in the corner to come out.

The sixth prince is an upright person and pays attention to the rules in doing things, and let him stand up at this moment, even if it is right, he is a little hesitant. He didn't want to tear his face with the prince yet.

But the next moment, the four princes pulled the six princes in the middle of the ministers. Seeing that the sixth prince did not move, the fourth prince pushed him and signaled, "You said it." ”

"I don't know what else the six princes have to say to this palace?" The crown prince smiled contemptuously, he didn't believe that the six princes really had the power to turn the tide. Saying that, the prince turned around and said calmly: "The enthronement ceremony cannot be delayed, if there is nothing to do, the palace will continue." ”

"Wait."

The six princes took out an edict and presented it to the ministers, "What I have in my hand is the emperor's handwritten edict, which is not only stamped, but also the emperor's special paper. ”

Hearing this, the prince's heart jumped, he quickly turned around and looked at the edict in the hands of the six princes, even if he just looked at it from a distance, the prince felt extremely uneasy in his heart.

It's really careless, he already knew that the emperor would be wary of him in every way, but he didn't expect that he still couldn't guard against it.

The prince sighed, a little helpless. Helpless to helpless, business still has to be done. He snapped his fingers, and the next moment, the Forbidden City was surrounded by guards inside and out.

After reading the edict, his face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he calmly handed the edict to Gonggong Li next to him, and said: "Gonggong Li, you are the emperor's confidant, you can see whether what he said is true or false." ”

Gonggong Li took the edict, wiped the sweat on his head, and looked at the content on it as if he was swallowing dates, the paper used in this edict is a special paper made by the emperor, and it can't be found anywhere else, so it's true.

But even if the emperor really planned to pass on the throne to the six princes, it was already this time. And what can change? Thinking like this, Gonggong Li shook his head, "The edict is not real, the handwriting of many of the words on it is different from that of the emperor, presumably someone forged this edict." ”

"Father-in-law Li," the prince tilted his head, "I hope you are telling the truth." ”

Gonggong Li hurriedly knelt down, "What the slave said is true, if it is not true, it is five thunders, and the slave has no complaints." ”

Seeing that Gonggong Li was so sincere, the prince relaxed a little, and he waved his hand and walked up the steps, intending to complete this canonization ceremony as soon as possible.
