Chapter 22: The Storm of the Divine Decree

After these ministers and magnates saw this scene, they all understood that Princess An Ning was giving them a dismount.

As a result, those who have some ideas have now temporarily restrained their minds and are ready to act at the opportune opportunity.

When Princess An Ning saw these people coming in, she raised her head and smiled at them, and said very familiarly:

"Yo, the adults are here just in time. Just now, Dazai and Taifu-sama have agreed with the main palace on the successor of the next emperor at the behest of His Majesty. Now that everyone has come, let's be a witness over there, so as to save some accusations of monopolizing power and acting arbitrarily in the palace. ”

When they heard this, they were shocked.

They look at me, I look at you, and they're all watching each other's reactions.

Princess An Ning caught everyone off guard this time.

In their imagination, the announcement of the successor must be after Emperor Jing's return to heaven. When Emperor Jing died, it was very difficult, and there were too many things that could be operated from it. Even if Dazai and Taifu are there, they can argue with such a few points, as long as there is a problem on Princess Anning's side.

From the very beginning, they knew that the key to the entire seizure of the throne lay in Princess An Ning.

Therefore, they sent people to intercept King Han, who had always been at peace with Princess An Ning and led the troops; persuade the ministers of the various neutral factions to resist Princess Anning; Create some public opinion momentum, let the prince you support stand on the side of justice, and be a good teacher......

But I didn't expect Princess An Ning to announce the candidate so soon, and the captain with a heavy army is now on Princess An Ning's side.

Everything they have prepared is nothing at all under the deterrence of absolute force.

I didn't see those two people, and I said that I was cut down, this is still in front of the Xuanshu Palace, which is equivalent to executing the court officials on the spot without any scruples in front of Emperor Jing.

Everyone was concerned, and looked at the two corpses that had been cleaned up by the Zhongchang Servant, and they didn't dare to act rashly in their hearts.

Princess An Ning lightly swept all this into her eyes, turned to Dazai and said respectfully: "All the ministers and princes and magnates are silent, then they should acquiesce." I would like to ask Dazai-sama to read out the contents of this decree. ”

Dazai nodded, and took out the holy decree made of bright yellow silk.

Princess Anning, all the princes and princesses, powerful ministers, and soldiers all knelt down respectfully,

"Fengtian carried the emperor, and the edict said: I have been on the throne for more than 30 years, and I have worked hard to make the country and the people safe. Outside, Beiao does not dare to cross the line, the mountains and rivers are dangerous, and all countries come to the court; Inside, prostitutes and thieves are incapable of crossing the door, and the law and order are strong, and the people are healthy.

However, my body is in dire condition, and I still can't protect my country for thousands of generations, and my longevity is boundless. So after thinking about it again, it was decided to promote Prince Zhao to be the fourth emperor of our imperial kingdom and ascend the throne on the same day.

It is hoped that the crown prince Zhao can inherit the will of his ancestors, and be both generous and benevolent, humble and humble, distinguish between right and wrong, be tough and unyielding outside, and show the demeanor of a great country; Gentle and not obscene inside, highlighting the quality of the royal family. Don't talk about being stubborn and complacent, so that the villain gains power and buries me with great rivers and mountains.

I have said all this, I hope that the prince Zhao can keep it in mind.

God bless you!

Chin this. ”

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

After the decree was read, everyone shouted long live, but the person who was "long live" at the moment could die at any time, which could not help but be a kind of irony.

But now, no one is in the mood to care about such an inconsequential matter.

Although the crown prince had already heard that he would be able to take over the throne smoothly, he was still very excited when he heard the announcement of the holy decree with his own ears.

Even if the prince has always been introverted, he can't help but have red eyes at this moment, and his hands are trembling.

"Prince, why don't you hurry up and take the order?" After Dazai read out the decree, he said to the crown prince Sima Zhao.

When he saw that the prince was a little excited and couldn't get on the stage, he sighed secretly in his heart, that is, there was no moment like now, and he felt that the prince was a little pitiful.

The prince tried his best to calm his mood, stood up, tidied up his appearance, walked up to Taizai respectfully, stretched out his hands, bowed down, and took over this very heavy will.

He choked up a little and said, "The son obeys his father's will and will definitely live up to his father's trust." ”

Dazai nodded gently, lowered his head slightly, waved his hands, and said respectfully, "From now on, you are the new emperor." Please also Your Majesty, issue your first will as the new Emperor. ”

Sima Zhao nodded, took a deep breath, and was about to speak, when he heard someone below say loudly: "This king disagrees. ”

When everyone followed the sound, they saw King Qin standing up from the ground, stretching out his hand to brush the ashes on the hem of his clothes.

"My father is now seriously ill and unable to speak, so how can he prove the truth of this holy decree? During the reign of the crown prince, he was mediocre and mediocre, how could he afford to assume the responsibility of the king of this country? Therefore, the king is not convinced, and clearly doubts the authenticity of this will! ”

"Yes, we're not convinced."

With the leader of King Qin, King Xin and King Nan also rose up to make peace.

After Dazai handed over the decree to Sima Zhao, he stopped talking, and stood aside and waited for the new emperor in front of him to see how he would deal with the crisis that was about to come to him.

On the contrary, Taifu mentioned a sentence on the side, and said to King Qin, King Xin, and King Nan: "How many of you are questioning Taifu and Dazai-sama? ”

King Qin shook his head, and said very calmly and methodically: "This king naturally doesn't mean this.

Dazai and Taifu are highly respected, and they can be described as the elders of the court, and the right and left hands that the father and emperor trust very much. You two will never be biased by certain factors. The holy decree is handled by the two of you, and this king naturally puts 10,000 hearts.

However, since you are too old to assist in political affairs wholeheartedly, and you have handed over most of the affairs and power in your hands to Dr. Koroku and the Zhongshu Order, Dazai-sama, you are not so clear about this matter in the court.

Master Taifu, naturally the same is true.

Therefore, although this decree is from your hands, it is not necessarily true. ”

King Qin's words were very bold, and everyone, especially the officials who supported King Qin, couldn't help but sweat for King Qin.

When Taifu heard this, he glanced at King Qin fixedly, and then fell gently, as if he didn't intend to say anything more, or argue for the authenticity of the crown prince Sima Zhao's accession to the throne.

This means that the final result depends on Sima Zhao's reaction.
