Chapter 480: Second Shift
"Lin Xiang, Wen Kangye, this palace has something to say-"
Only then did Empress Xiao notice Concubine Wen Guifei, who had already stepped forward, put away the grief on her face, and snorted coldly in her heart, Let's see how you act.
When the ministers heard this, they immediately looked at Concubine Wen.
Concubine Wen has been favored in the harem for many years, and she is deeply trusted by Emperor Jingzhi. And His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't speak for a long time, which suddenly made the people on Lin Xiang's side suspicious.
Could it be that Concubine Wen really has an edict in her hand, then this edict must be unfavorable to them.
Lin Xiang's face suddenly looked ugly, how could the queen mother let Concubine Wen get up, if there really was, Lin Xiang knew that it would definitely be unfavorable to His Royal Highness the Prince.
"The emperor did leave an edict." Concubine Wen wiped away her tears and spoke slowly, "As for what the edict is written, the palace doesn't understand, the emperor personally sealed it in the secret room behind the bookshelf, and only the emperor can open this secret room."
"So what are you waiting for?" Wen Kangye immediately said that the play was very real.
Zheng Songyuan didn't speak, and the Empress Dowager Yanping cried very sadly while holding the coffin, as if she didn't care about things here.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, even so, as long as you open the door of the secret room, what is written on the emperor's edict will naturally be clear, as long as the edict is the succession of His Royal Highness the Prince, then the ministers have nothing to say, and wholeheartedly support the succession of His Royal Highness the Prince." Wen Kangye immediately said, expressing his heartfelt heart very "sincerely".
The people on Lin Xiang's side are in a hurry, what kind of edict, how do you think this Wen Kangye is not a good thing, at this time, if you have to make an edict, the more you think about it, the worse it is.
Lin Xiang looked at Empress Xiao anxiously, Queen Mother, you can't help but speak.
When Empress Xiao saw this, she naturally wanted to speak.
"There is such a testament, but the palace doesn't know about it." Empress Xiao opened her mouth and glanced at Concubine Wen coldly.
At this time, Concubine Wen was still afraid of Queen Xiao, they were well prepared, so they were naturally not afraid of anything, Concubine Wen did not look at Queen Xiao's gaze, but looked around among the ministers, and then looked at His Royal Highness the Prince.
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, only you can take out the edict now."
Zheng Songyuan calmly glanced at Crane Ling, who was a close confidant of Emperor Jingzhi, and it was most convincing to go and pick up things at this time.
He Ling received the order, and in the eyes of the ministers, he opened the cabinet on the bookshelf in Emperor Jingzhi's bedroom, revealing a small pavilion, and suddenly revealed a volume of bright yellow holy decrees, and the ministers immediately gasped, there really is.
Crane Ling took out the holy decree, glanced at Zheng Songyuan, and handed the holy decree into Lin Xiang's hands.
Zheng Songyuan's expression was calm, as if he was out of the matter, all the eyes of the ministers at this time were on the holy decree, Lin Xiang took the holy decree tremblingly, but Lin believed that his heart was full, Emperor Jingzhi has always trusted His Royal Highness the Crown Prince very much, even if he left an edict, he should let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince succeed to the throne.
The only thing that worried him was that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't know about the existence of this edict, and the insider turned out to be Concubine Wen.
This news made the people on Lin Xiang's side feel bad, but because of His Royal Highness the Prince's hard work and resentment to the court for so many years, the people's aspirations, I believe that the position of the emperor must be His Royal Highness the Prince.
Lin Xiang just unfolded the holy decree, and the next moment, a flower appeared in front of him, and his body staggered step by step, no, he was not dazzled, this, how could this be!
Lin Xiang suddenly looked at Wen Kangye.
"What is written in the edict, Lin Xiang, this edict is in your hands, why don't you read it?" Wen Kangye couldn't bear it anymore and said immediately.
"Lin Xiang, just read out the content of the edict truthfully." Zheng Songyuan suddenly opened his mouth and looked at Lin Xiang.
Lin Xiang received Zheng Songyuan's gaze, and was a little stunned, no, no, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is too calm, this kind of calm is not feigned, but a kind of calm in which everything is under control.
Moreover, Empress Xiao's expression was too calm, as if they already knew the contents of the edict.
Lin Xiang stabilized his mind and read out the content of the edict in his hand word by word.
Concubine Wen's heart fell to the ground in an instant, at least, Lin Xiang still read the content of the edict truthfully, then, Fugong is justified......
"Fourth Highness, impossible, how could the emperor pass the throne to the Fourth Highness-" Suddenly, there was an uproar.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible—"
"The age of the Fourth Highness is not able to preside over the government at all."
"Queen Mother, this edict must be fake—"
"Presumptuous, Lu Ge Lao, you are guilty of this." Wen Kangye shouted, and his voice immediately overshadowed the other voices.
"The Fourth Highness is young and promising, and the first emperor must have remembered the kindness of the Second Highness to save the first emperor with his life, and this will pass on the throne to the Fourth Highness." Wen Kangye said immediately.
"Yes, before the emperor died, he talked more than once about the second highness who had passed away." Concubine Wen Guifei's eyes immediately turned red.
"If the emperor had a clear mind, how could he take Nanzheng's rivers and mountains as child's play." Lin Xiang said miserably.
"Queen Mother, how can you say something, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been busy with government affairs for so many years, how can the emperor pass the throne to His Royal Highness."
"This edict is written by the emperor himself, and the seal is undoubtedly confirmed-" Lin Xiang spoke slowly, still a little unsure in his heart, what did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mean by the glance he gave him just now, to make him admit that this edict was true?
Did he want him to publish this edict? What is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince going to do?
After Lin Xiang finished speaking, Yu Guang glanced at His Royal Highness the Prince, and saw that Zheng Songyuan was still very calm, as if Wen Kangye and Concubine Wen Guifei in front of him were acting like clowns jumping off the beam, and his heart was slightly relieved.
As soon as Lin Xiang's words came out, there was a sudden silence in the field, Wen Kangye saw this, and felt slightly relieved, this Lin Xiang is a person who admits death, this edict is naturally genuine, and it was left by Emperor Jingzhi.
"Fourth Highness, no, the emperor, the ministers knock to see the emperor." Wen Kangye immediately knelt down in the direction of Zheng Haoyuan.
Suddenly, more than half of the ministers knelt down, and only a small number of Lin Xiang's henchmen were still standing.
If Lin Xiang didn't kneel, they naturally wouldn't kneel, and besides, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Empress Xiao haven't said a word yet.
Zheng Haoyuan stepped forward slowly, and everyone's eyes slowly turned to Zheng Haoyuan, Zheng Haoyuan didn't look at Zheng Songyuan, which made Zheng Songyuan a little puzzled, in Zheng Songyuan's cognition, Zheng Haoyuan didn't want to be the emperor.
However, at this time, Zheng Haoyuan's gaze slowly swept over the people in front of him, and for the first time he felt that what Zheng Songyuan could have, he could also have, he even had more than Zheng Songyuan, he had more, snatching everything from Zheng Songyuan, he wanted him to be doomed, let him completely disappear in front of Zheng Nianru.
"Your Majesty—" Wen Kangye spoke, anxiously wanting Zheng Haoyuan to say something.
It's just that Zheng Haoyuan hasn't spoken yet, and the voice of the Empress Dowager Yanping came from behind him.
"Slow-" Empress Dowager Yanping stepped forward slowly at this time, her voice hoarse, but her eyes glanced sharply at the ministers.
"The mourning family also has a copy of the edict." Empress Dowager Yanping spoke slowly.
