Chapter 69: The Edict of Succession is a Fake
"Second brother, my father's edict is here, why don't you kneel down and accept the decree."
Tuoba Hong changed his previous submissiveness, and his voice was full of a bit of the majesty that only an emperor had.
Maybe that's what he is.
Tuoba Yuan's eyes were full of killing intent, and in the end he reluctantly knelt down.
Tuoba Hong handed the edict to the cabinet minister Xu Song.
Xu Song took the edict, slowly opened the edict, and immediately read out the inside of the edict:
"Emperor Gaozu started a business with difficulty, the previous emperors of the past dynasties were conscientious and conscientious, and the widow succeeded the unification for more than 50 years, and did not take respecting the heavens and the ancestors as the first priority. ......”
The first half of the edict is a narrative and summary of the life of Emperor Beiliang, which can be regarded as a praise of his own merits before his death.
Xu Song's reading is tolerant, sometimes nervous, sometimes soothing, between the tone and frustration, the life merits of the Northern Liang Emperor are described in detail.
And then the most important successor is the most important candidate.
Reading this, Xu Song suddenly paused, and when he first saw Kejizhijun, he was distracted for a moment.
Everyone was looking forward to it, and Tuoba Yuan was uneasy.
"The fourth son of the emperor Tuoba Hong, more than ten years of dedication into the market, with their own heart to treat the people, the people of the world are all convinced, the character is valuable, won the heart of the widow, will be able to inherit the unification, that is, the emperor's throne, that is, to comply with the system. Proclamation of Kyushu, Xian made it known. ”
After the edict was read, the officials were in an uproar.
Some are convinced, others are skeptical.
The first opponent was Tuoba Yuan, who stood up: "Fake, the edict is fake." ”
As he spoke, he wanted to snatch the edict, but was stopped by Tuoba Hong.
Tuoba Yuan stared at the other party angrily and spat at him: "Phew, you shameless person, you actually forged your father's edict and didn't arrest this waste." ”
Tuoba Hong was extremely calm, and before that, Xiao Wuxin had rehearsed all the possible emergencies in advance.
"Second brother, forging the edict of succession is a major crime to be executed by Ling Chi, if you don't believe it, find someone to identify the true and false."
"Okay, you're going to die on your own."
Tuoba Hong wanted to open the favor of Emperor Beiliang, but now it was suddenly rumored to be in him, Tuoba Yuan didn't believe it was true.
It must have been someone who copied the content of the edict and deliberately confused the truth with falsehood.
As a result, Tuoba Yuan found a lot of old people in the court, and they were all very familiar with the handwriting of Emperor Beiliang.
If it's fake, it's instantly recognizable.
Next, everyone looked around the edict very carefully.
Tuoba Hong on the side was sweating, after all, this edict was indeed forged by Xiao Wuxin, if someone found out, all plans would be ruined.
But what is the truth?
Some people took out magnifying glasses, some people stared at the edict for a long time, and some people observed the dryness and wetness of the ink marks.
If it had been forged recently, the ink would not have dried too much, and if it had been written a long time ago, the ink would have dried long ago.
Half an hour passed, and Tuoba Yuan asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, you just have to tell the truth, is this edict forged by that waste?" ”
Tuoba Hong couldn't help but swallow his saliva, afraid to reveal his filling.
However, the answer that everyone came up with was: "This edict was indeed written by the emperor himself, and there is no forgery." ”
"What!"
Tuoba Yuandeng's expression changed, his eyes widened, and his body trembled unconsciously.
"You ...... Take a good look at it again? How could my father pass the throne to that waste? ”
This is also puzzling, Emperor Beiliang has always disliked Tuoba Hong, but it is contrary to common sense to pass the throne to him.
But the edict is not a forgery, why is this?
"It won't be wrong, this edict is true, and it is also stamped with the seal of the jade seal of the country, the impression of the jade seal is only known to the emperor, and others can't fake it."
At this moment, Tuoba Yuan completely cut off his own back road.
At this moment, Xu Song took the lead in kneeling down and saluting Tuoba Hong: "Weichen, meet the new emperor, may my emperor live forever, and may the Beiliang Haiyan River be clear." ”
Cabinet ministers took the lead, and everyone else acknowledged this fact.
Tuoba Hong immediately showed the heroic posture of the emperor, he waved his robe, and the first thing he did was: "Tuoba Yuan, usurped the ancestral system, did not respect the king's law, pressed him into the prison, and beheaded him after three days." ”
Rumble!
Tuoba Yuan's head exploded.
In order to survive, Tuoba Yuan immediately changed his attitude, knelt in front of Tuoba Hong, hugged his thighs, and flattered: "Fourth...... Your Majesty, spare me, it's all because I was ignorant just now and collided with Long Yan......"
Tuoba Hong kicked him away, and Tuoba Yuan rolled down the stairs, his head bleeding.
"All these things that you have done with Tuoba Bodhisattva over the years, you still want me to spare you? Pipe dream. ”
If it weren't for Tuoba Bodhisattva's death, neither of them would have been able to escape.
Seeing that the other party was so vicious, leaving no way to live, Tuoba Yuan also broke the jar.
"Tuoba Hong, over the years, I really underestimated you, it turns out that you are the one who hides the deepest."
"Aren't you trying to kill me? I'm not going to let you get your way. ”
Tuoba Yuan knew that being captured and sent to the heavenly prison would be endless humiliation waiting for him.
Just like the last time, the scene of being arrested after killing Tuoba Bodhisattva by mistake is vivid, and he does not want to go through it a second time.
Now that the throne has been decided, he has completely lost.
Death is the final liberation.
Tuoba Hong immediately thought of what he wanted to do: "He's going to kill himself, quickly!" Stop him. ”
But after all, it was still a step too late, Tuoba Yuan broke free from the shackles, hit his head on the marble pillar, and his brain burst when he landed, and he died.
thought that Tuoba Yuan was dead, and Tuoba Hong could finally sit firmly on the throne.
But at this time, the fourteenth prince Tuoba was invincible and returned from the frontier.
New enemies have appeared.
