Chapter 985: Son Succeeds to the Throne

As soon as these words came out, Lu Changan was shocked, especially when he saw that she really took out the bright yellow edict of succession, and his brows furrowed deeply.

Under the night, she painted with strong makeup and wore the queen's phoenix robe, and no one doubted her identity. She is Ye Yao, the queen, the emperor wrote the edict of succession under a serious illness and handed it over to the queen for safekeeping, and took it out after his death, which is too reasonable.

"It turns out that the emperor also told King Suping about this edict, so please ask King Suping to read it in public." As he spoke, Liu Yunxiang handed the edict to Lu Changan.

Lu Changan stared at the edict, and at the same time his hand was already stretched into his arms, where there was another edict he had prepared.

"I believe that the emperor only left this edict, if there is anything else, it must be fake." Liu Yunxiang said in a deep voice.

"The queen's edict must be true?" He asked, raising an eyebrow.

"This letter is written by the emperor himself, and his handwriting, I believe that King Suping can recognize it, and the ministers below should also be able to recognize it."

"What if someone copies it?"

"There's also a jade seal on it."

Lu Changan squinted, the emperor did write an edict and handed it to Wu Min, and Wu Min gave the edict to his son before being imprisoned, expecting him to take it to Zhenbei and hand it over to Yan Dui, but Xue and Song obviously told him that he had taken back the edict from Wu Xiaogongzi and burned it.

Thinking of this, Lu Changan looked at Xue Hesong, who was kneeling below.

Xue Hesong seemed to feel this cold light, and his body couldn't help but tremble. He didn't dare to tell the truth, for fear that Lu Changan would kill him immediately if he knew that he didn't get the edict.

"Since there is an edict of succession, then please read it out to King Suping." At this time, an old minister stood up and said.

Other ministers also echoed, most of these people were actually Lu Changan's people, but they didn't have a high-definition situation, thinking that this was in solidarity with Lu Changan.

"King Suping, the identity of the queen of this palace was given by you, unless you expose it in public, otherwise this edict in the hands of this palace is more credible." Liu Yunxiang leaned over and whispered.

Lu Changan took a deep breath, "Yunxiang, do you have to fight against me?" ”

"Why, do you think I'm a weak woman who doesn't have this ability?"

Lu Changan sighed again, but still took the edict and began to read it in front of all the ministers. When reading that the throne was passed to Qin Duan, the king of Zhenbei, everyone had different expressions, and it was obvious that some people had realized that Lu Changan was not in control of the situation, and they were also wrong.

"Passing on the throne to the king of Zhenbei? But the king of Zhenbei is a rebellious minister and thief, and he is already deceased! Xue Hesong hurriedly shouted for meritorious service.

An old minister said: "It is said that the king of Zhenbei sacrificed to save the people from being killed by the West Vietnamese army, but Lord Xue gave the king of Zhenbei the stigma of 'chaotic ministers and thieves', not to mention that our courtiers do not agree, and the people of the world cannot agree!" ”

"You!"

"Exactly, King Zhenbei is a hero, no one can slander him!"

These are all old ministers, or courtiers who were demoted because they were squeezed by Lu Chang's arrangement, and when they join forces, they can still confront Lu Chang'an's people.

"In any case, the king of Zhenbei sacrificed, this is a fact, this edict says that it is impossible to pass on the throne to him." Xue Hesong saw that Lu Changan's face was not good, and hurriedly turned back to the topic.

As soon as these words came out, the ministers fell silent.

Indeed, the king of Zhenbei is dead and cannot succeed to the throne.

"Even if the king of Zhenbei is sacrificed, he still has a son!" When Liu Yunxiang said this, he turned his head and glanced at Lu Changan, and said, "King Suping has the foresight to send someone to take the prince of Zhenbei to Beijing. ”

Everyone looked at Lu Changan in unison, waiting for him to speak.

Lu Changan's eyes were cold, he didn't expect Liu Yunxiang to stab him, so that he couldn't take out the previously prepared edict of succession, and he couldn't succeed to the throne justifiably.

Of course, he could ignore the edict and kill all the ministers who were not loyal to him. But as long as the action is made, there will definitely be news leaked out, and the defenders in the north and south of the town, including those in various places, will definitely take the opportunity to mutiny.

"The royal son is thin, and the son of the king of Zhenbei ascended the throne in a justifiable manner, which is in line with the way of heaven." Liu Yunxiang stood up, walked to the front of the dragon steps, and looked down at the ministers, "The emperor left this edict to protect the orthodoxy of imperial power and prevent some ambitious people from messing up the country!" ”

The old ministers expressed their support and asked Lu Changan to quickly hand over the prince of Zhenbei and support him to ascend the throne.

"King Suping, if there is something bad in the prince, will everyone think that you are trying to kill him in order to compete for this throne?" Liu Yunxiang said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"Yunxiang, do you think you can threaten me like this?" Lu Changan sighed, "If I don't want fame, as long as that person, who can help me?" ”

"Of course, you can kill us and sit on this one, but can you sit still?" Liu Yunxiang snorted lightly, "The defenders everywhere, the people of the world, they will all oppose you." Have you been planning for so long that you will be driven down from this throne just to sit on this throne? ”

Yan Duan's prestige in Darong is too high, and King Suping can control the ministers of the court, but he can't control the people of the world and the generals who have military power in their hands.

"Also, I can be Ye Yao, and even more so the princess of Zhenbei, as long as I raise my arms, the defenders of all directions will respond, attack Shengjing, and take your throne, it is not difficult."

"You should know that we didn't attack Shengjing and take the throne at the beginning, not because we didn't have this strength, but because we didn't want the situation to be more chaotic and the people were in dire straits. We had the strength to do that, and we still have it. ”

Lu Changan lowered his eyes, this was not an exaggeration, in fact, he thought at that time that once the emperor died, even if he had an edict in his hand, the people of the world would support Yan Dui to succeed to the throne, so he urgently cooperated with Xiyue to attack Zhenbei. But the Western Vietnamese army was not under his control at all, and before the situation worsened, he could only force Yan Dui to be captured.

Lu Changan pondered for a long time, and finally ordered his subordinates to bring the prince of Suping into the palace.

"Yunxiang, you could have not pulled Yan'er into the whirlpool of power." Lu Changan sighed.

"He is the prince of Zhenbei, and he has responsibilities that he has to shoulder."

"But he's not even ten years old."

"I'm with him, and I can definitely wait until Yan Dusk comes back."

Lu Changan turned his head to look at Liu Yunxiang, "You actually think he can come back alive?" ”

"He can." Liu Yunxiang's expression was firm, "He won't leave us." ”

Lu Changan shook his head, helpless and disappointed, and finally he smiled coldly, "Qin Shengrui is a puppet in the hands of this king, and you have seen his fate." As for Yan'er, this king will not be too cruel to him, but he must be smart and sensible enough. ”

This is telling Liu Yunxiang that he can let Qin Yan succeed him, but Qin Yan will only be a puppet in his hands.

Liu Yunxiang squinted, "He's still young, this palace should listen to the government, and he won't let King Suping worry too much!" ”
