Chapter 249: Old Stories in the Palace (1)
The resistance of the palace guards in the main hall was getting weaker and weaker, and only a few Sky Breaking Realm masters led by Wang Zhiyan were still holding on.
The masters of the clan are all well-known figures such as elders and patriarchs, and they have taken a great risk to come to the main hall to participate in the rebellion today, but now that they have the overall situation in their hands, they are also more confident in their hearts, so they naturally don't want to break the net with the palace guards, so they just carefully control the battle situation, and they don't mean to divide the victory or defeat in one go. Despite the superiority in numbers, there were also back-and-forth fights.
After all, the main hall is in the center of the palace, and the soul body will not be able to follow it, and the forces lurking in Luojing in Qingyan Kingdom are not willing to carry out this most dangerous task, and only promise to block it on the periphery, and in the end, only rely on Mo Yinglong, these clan masters, not only to win, but also to control the battle damage as much as possible.
The five major clan forces on the field all have a similar mentality, and no one is willing to take the responsibility of the main attack. Wang Zhiyan can be regarded as a super master second only to the chief among the palace guards, and if he really wants to launch a ruthless attack, he is afraid that he will inevitably be affected.
When the situation was not yet clear, the five major clans could still work together, and now they were about to share the fruits of victory, but they all started their own little Jiujiu, just blindly detouring and testing on the periphery, and did not directly attack a few palace guards who broke through the Skyclave, for fear that they would be retaliated against by the palace guards. Therefore, although the scene was very lively, the battle situation was unexpectedly deadlocked.
And this situation was also seen by Chen Shaojie, he couldn't help but feel a little angry, but he was helpless.
"This group of guys is embarrassed to call themselves famous, but at the critical moment, they still only want their own interests, and they don't have the spirit of taking the overall situation into account at all!
Fortunately, the situation is under control now, there should be no more changes, Wang Zhiyan and others have also become the end of the crossbow, since this is the case, I have to wait patiently for a while and talk with this little prince.
"This is a bit unexpected by the old minister, I didn't expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be interested in that period of history?" Chen Shaojie replied playfully.
"Lord Zuo Xiang may not know that since this king began to learn the way of monarchs and ministers with the emperor, he has frequently heard the name of the eldest princess Liu Lingxi from the mouth of the emperor. Mr. Emperor Shi emphasized countless times that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is the most talented person he has ever seen, although she is a daughter, she is a woman who does not let her eyebrows go, and her mind and ambition are enough to support the entire Tunan. Therefore, the king has always been very curious about the affairs of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and I hope that Lord Zuo will solve his doubts. ”
"Hehe, are Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince sure you want to know? Now that all the civil and military officials are present, this is a matter that damages the reputation of the Tunan royal family, is this good?"
"Isn't Lord Zuo Xiang already in his hands on the victory? This Tunan royal family has changed its name and surname only in the morning and night, so why worry about any false names?" said the crown prince Liu Changxi with a smile.
"Changxi!?you?" Hearing Liu Changxi's words, Liu Dingrui, who was originally a little panicked, suddenly came back to his senses and stared at Liu Changxi with incredible eyes, the child who was most valued by himself. Liu Dingrui couldn't believe that this child, who has always put the world as the most important and has a resolute and upright personality, would say such words that are no different from surrender at this moment, is it true that things have reached the point where they cannot be reversed, and even the thoughtful and meticulous prince has no way to reverse it?
"I didn't expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be so knowledgeable and mentally prepared. In this way, if Your Majesty can also understand the current affairs like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, today's affairs may have a more harmonious and complete ending, and many people can be spared death. Chen Shaojie stroked his beard and said proudly, "In this case, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has any doubts, but it doesn't matter, the old minister must know everything." ”
"You just said that His Majesty the First Emperor's edict has been tampered with, what the hell is going on!" Without waiting for Liu Changxi to speak, Li Mu, the right minister, couldn't help but ask first.
"Master Li Mu, don't be so excited. Also, at that time, you had already achieved the position of a Chinese scholar, and you had always known the will of His Majesty the First Emperor best, so naturally you should also know very well that the successor that His Majesty the First Emperor had in mind was only the eldest princess Liu Lingxi from beginning to end! Therefore, when the content of His Majesty the First Emperor's edict was read out, I am afraid that you were more shocked than anyone else, right?"
"And the fact is just as you think, His Majesty the First Emperor really wants to appoint the eldest princess as the next empress of the Tunan Kingdom, but after the edict is issued, it will be given priority to the secret department for safekeeping, and it will not be sent to the Supervision Province for confirmation until His Majesty the First Emperor dies, and finally handed over to the then Prime Minister for reading. ”
In this process, there are actually quite a lot of opportunities to change the content of the edict. Chen Shaojie shrugged his shoulders and said with a complicated look in his eyes.
"This thing sounds simple, but I'm afraid it's not so easy to actually act, right?" Liu Changxi touched his chin and muttered, "The dark department is only loyal to His Majesty the First Emperor, so naturally it can't be bought, and according to the rules, after being sent to the Supervision Province, there must be more than five first-class officials present at the same time to supervise the whole process to ensure that nothing goes wrong." If the content of the edict is really wrong, what step did it start to go wrong?"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really very familiar with government affairs, you are right, the supervision after being sent to the Supervision Province is quite strict, so the person who replaced the edict is very cunning, he chose to do it at the very beginning!"
"At the beginning, you mean before sending it to the dark department?" Liu Changxi and Li Mu were stunned.
"That's right, from the dragon couch of His Majesty the First Emperor to the hand of the chief of the dark department waiting outside the house, the edict has actually been replaced within ten steps of this distance. ”
"The father-in-law next to His Majesty the First Emperor replaced the edict?"
"Exactly. ”
Liu Changxi looked at Li Mu beside him, Li Mu's expression was already very gloomy at this time, it was obvious that he was convinced of what Chen Shaojie said.
What Chen Shaojie just said Liu Changxi himself also roughly assessed in his heart, and now Chen Shaojie has actually taken the advantage, and there is no need to make up such a fantastical story to fool everyone. And judging from his expression and tone, this matter should be on the spectrum.
"You are talking nonsense! You thief and rebellious minister! How dare you talk nonsense in the main hall!" Liu Dingrui couldn't listen anymore, and directly pointed at Chen Shaojie and scolded.
Chen Shaojie completely ignored Liu Dingrui's scolding, and just smiled playfully: "As for who instructed the father-in-law to do such a thing to deceive the world, even if the old minister didn't say it, the hundred officials present should already know very well in their hearts." ”
