Chapter 250: Old Stories in the Palace (2)

When the edict is replaced, it is very obvious who is the biggest beneficiary and who is the most suspicious. Most of the people on the field couldn't help but look at Liu Dingrui, who was thundering on the dragon chair at this time.

"Nonsense! You talk nonsense! I am the only heir designated by His Majesty the First Emperor! This is an indisputable fact!" Liu Dingrui roared, and the father-in-law around him couldn't help but tremble, he hadn't seen His Majesty so excited for many years.

"Although Her Royal Highness the eldest princess at that time was talented and favored, she was only a teenage girl, and it was not enough to inherit the age of the emperor. If the old minister didn't guess wrong, His Majesty the First Emperor repeatedly announced that Lord Li Mu would enter the palace, he should have wanted to ask Lord Li Mu and the emperor to work together to assist the eldest princess in ruling the country, and wait for the eldest princess to reach the age of twenty before holding a succession ceremony, right?"

"That's right. Li Mu said coldly, "Although His Majesty the First Emperor did not explicitly say that he wanted Her Royal Highness the eldest princess to succeed to the throne, he had already hinted several times in his words that although his time was short, he wanted His Majesty the eldest princess to study and precipitate for a few years before talking about inheritance. So when the content of the edict was read, I felt even more strange, I didn't expect that the content had been replaced!"

"Lord Zuoxiang. Liu Changxi raised his head and said with a smile, "Although what you said is conclusive, it seems that the most important evidence is lacking. ”

"Hahaha, unfortunately, I still do have evidence. Gonggong Mao, who replaced the edict back then, was originally exiled for committing a crime, but I found him by coincidence, why don't we invite him to come up and have a good chat now, how did the eldest prince Liu Dingrui conspire with him to replace the edict?"

"Chen Shaojie!!" Hearing this, Liu Dingrui could no longer restrain his anger, regardless of the dissuasion of the people around him, he pulled out his sword and rushed directly towards Chen Shaojie, with a great tendency to die and break the net.

Although in the eyes of everyone, it is just the annoyance and anger of being exposed to the scars.

However, he was unable to cut off Chen Shaojie's head to vent his anger as he wished, because someone reached out to stop him, grabbed him by the shoulder, and slammed him to the ground.

"You??" Looking at the person who was holding his shoulder vigorously, Liu Dingrui was a little incredulous.

The person who made the shot was none other than his most trusted prince Liu Changxi.

Liu Changxi's sharp momentum is not angry and self-threatening, and he can't even make a trace of resistance as an old man.

"Your Majesty, don't be impatient, your son has some other things that he wants to continue to consult Zuo Xiang. Liu Changxi said with a signature smile, but the familiar look made Liu Dingrui shudder at this time.

"So that's the case, it seems that Lord Zuo Xiang really gave me a heavy blow to the Tunan royal family today, and I am really ashamed of the ancestors of the royal family to do such a big rebellious thing. Liu Changxi's tone was very regretful, "Speaking of which, marrying Her Royal Highness the eldest princess to Xizhou Heqin is also a decision made privately by His Majesty the Emperor under the guise of the first emperor?" 168 Books

"That's right. At that time, Qingyan in the north tore up the peace treaty and bypassed Tianliang Mountain to invade the south. The iron cavalry in the north is unparalleled in the world, and Tunan does not have a strong Great Wall to rely on like Wenjing, and in the face of the Qingyan cavalry on the Tunan Plain, it can be said that there is no resistance, even if the strength of the whole country can only barely resist. ”

"Our beloved Emperor His Majesty has just succeeded to the throne, and his foundation is still shallow, and the coordination and communication between the three armies are also very poor, and he has no appeal at all. At that time, Wen Jing, the only ally, was in the midst of civil strife, and he had no choice but to ask for help from Daxizhou, far west of the White Emperor City, hoping to get help. The old minister was the envoy who sent to Xizhou that year, and the quid pro quo proposed by the king of Xizhou was that he wanted to marry the pearl of Tunan, the eldest princess Liu Lingxi. ”

"Our Majesty is naturally desperate for it. At that time, he had long been questioned by Tu Nan's ability to govern the country a lot, and even many civil and military officials did not believe that Tu Nan could get through this difficult time under his leadership, and they were already calling on Her Royal Highness the eldest princess to come forward and take over the orthodox leadership of Tu Nan. As long as the eldest princess exists for a day, our majesty will always be compared with it, in this case, it is better to marry her far away in the name of righteousness, which can not only form an alliance with Xizhou to resist strong enemies, but also take the opportunity to eradicate the eldest princess's confidant, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. ”

"Then the matter is a matter of course, His Majesty the Emperor pretended to be in the name of the first emperor, and fabricated the lie that 'he had long had an oath to marry the king of Xizhou', and married the eldest princess far away with a piece of holy edict, which led to the change of being sacked by the Western Regions Demon Sect with the pro-convoy on the way to the marriage. And the Tunan Pearl has become history. ”

"So that's the case, His Majesty the First Emperor has always regarded the eldest princess as the pearl in his palm, how can he make any alliance with his relatives!" Li Mu suddenly realized, and many mysteries that had been buried in his heart for many years were solved one by one.

"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess had an accident in Xizhou, and the person who did it was the Demon Sect of the Western Regions, so the responsibility is naturally completely ineffective on the Xizhou side. The king of Xizhou lost his beloved, and in order to apologize for his sins and protect his beloved's country, Xizhou suddenly raised the strength of the whole country to support and successfully repelled the attack of Qingyan Kingdom. And our Majesty, after successfully surviving the difficulties, simply informed the world of the death of the eldest princess, and did not even have a decent state funeral. ”

"It is not enough to take away the throne of the eldest princess and the world of Tunan, but also to take the eldest princess as a victim of power trading and take away her lifelong happiness, so that she will fall at a young age. Your Majesty, you are so ruthless!" In the end, Chen Shaojie couldn't help but shake his head again and again.

"Your Majesty, is this all true?" Liu Changxi asked Liu Dingrui with a shocked look, although the answer could not have been more obvious.

"Alas," Liu Changxi couldn't help but sigh, "Your Majesty, I really didn't expect you to do such a thing before, it really hurts Erchen." An unborn talent has been ruined in your hands like this, don't you feel guilty at all?"

"Changxi, you too..." Looking at Liu Changxi's sad expression, Liu Dingrui's mood was collapsed at this moment, he never expected that one day what he did would be exposed, let alone face the accusation of his own son, which made all his self-esteem completely collapse.

Liu Dingrui supported the ground with his hands, his hair was scattered, his eyes were lonely, at this time he had completely lost the majesty of a monarch, just a lonely old man who had been hollowed out.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, what you want to know is also told to you, I don't think it's too early, it's time to end today's business. Chen Shaojie timely broke the pathetic atmosphere created by Liu Dingrui's father and son.

"Indeed, this farce, it's time to put an end to it. Liu Changxi didn't turn his head to look at Chen Shaojie, but muttered to himself in a flat tone.
