Chapter 606: The Edict is Suspicious
Bai Fan probably had the same doubt, but he had an answer in his heart, and he didn't think about it as a second person. Ran?Wen Xiao?? Said ?w?ww?.?r?a?n?w?e?n?a'com" must get the prince back quickly. Bai Fan said. This is for himself and for Ji Kuo.
But Ji Yu showed a very embarrassed expression on his face. It is said that it is embarrassing, but it is not, it should be said that it is to stop talking and stopping, and to stop talking.
Bai Fan obviously noticed Ji Yu's strange appearance, and he frowned, "Old Ji, what do you mean by this expression?"
"Nothing interesting, General Bai. A man slowly walked out of the dormitory. "My eldest brother is too unreliable, even when my father was seriously ill and dying, he didn't return when he was summoned to the palace, this is not the style of the son of man. β
Bai Fan looked at the man and slowly straightened up. Li Mu looked at him, and the conjectures in his heart also had an important piece of the puzzle, and gradually revealed their original colors.
"His Royal Highness the Second Prince......" Bai Fan's voice was a little dry, because the appearance of the second prince Chen Liao in this position at this moment already represented a lot of things.
Chen Liao smiled and said to Ji Kuo: "Lord Zuo, it seems that you haven't made it clear to General Bai yet." Something about me...... Oh no, I should have changed my name. β
Rao is Bai Fan was calm again, and he was also shocked by these words. "What did you say, how could Your Majesty pass on to you?"
Hearing this, Chen Liao's face sank, "General Bai, please pay attention to your wording. For the sake of your many years of service to the country, I will not pursue it for the time being. In addition, Lord Ji, you should have obtained His Majesty's edict, and you should not ...... me Oh, what did my big brother do, tell the world?"
Bai Fan's eyes were angry, but he didn't target Chen Liao, he asked Ji Kui for confirmation. Ji Yu nodded slowly.
Bai Fan stretched out his hand and said, "What about the edict?" β
Ji Kui knew his temperament, and reached out to hand over the edict. Bai Fan hurriedly unfolded it, and it read, "The emperor has never ruled the world, and he has never failed to respect the heavens and the ancestors. Respect for the heavens and the ancestors of the truth of the soft and far-reaching, recuperate the common people, a total of the four seas for the benefit, the heart of the day for the heart, to protect the state in the danger, to rule in the chaos, night and night, sleep is not to be left behind, for the long-term national plan ......"
Of course, Bai Fan didn't care about the above clichΓ©s that Lao Bei used to make up the number of words at the moment, and he jumped directly to the end of the edict.
"The crown prince has a noble character, and he will be able to overcome the unification. After succeeding me to the throne, that is, the emperor's throne, that is, obeying the public opinion system, holding the service for 27 days, releasing the proclamation at home and abroad, and the salty envoy heard about it. β
"It's the crown prince!hmm? What is this?" Bai Fan couldn't help but squint his eyes, the crown prince's word "too" seemed to be a little wrong. The lower half of the word "too" has an extra horizontal, which has become similar to the word "husband".
"What's going on?" Ji Kui, what's going on?" Bai Fanlian asked. "Why is there any alteration on the edict, and what's going on?"
Ji Kui looked helpless, "General, don't get excited...... he glanced at Chen Liao beside him and said, "I saw the edict just now, just like you." But by that time His Majesty had already ......"
Thinking of Chen Xiao, Ji Hua showed a little grief again, after so many years of friendship between monarchs and ministers, even if it was two ordinary people, seeing one of them die, they were also concerned. Not to mention Chen Xiao, who still has the grace of knowing each other.
Bai Fan saw that he was halfway through his words, and said hurriedly: "Say it quickly!"
Only then did Ji Yu continue: "Your Majesty was no longer able to move at that time, let alone speak, and the one in your hand was taken out of the dormitory by Your Majesty before he piloted the dragon. β
"The word 'too' written on it has obviously been altered. Ji Kuo said here, and glanced at Chen Liao again. Chen Liao was triumphant, full of smiles that only a winner has.
"It seems that the original 'two' character has been painted with the word 'Tai', or the original 'Tai' character has been added with two strokes, so it is mysterious. Ji Yu still said it all.
"Fortunately, there have always been two copies of the edict since the beginning of this dynasty, one is hidden by His Majesty himself, and the other has long been locked in the deepest box in the political hall. In order to prevent this from happening. β
"And then?" Bai Fan urged.
"Then I quickly got this one myself. Ji Yu took out another edict from his sleeve.
Bai Fan hurriedly took it and opened it, and when he looked at it, his chest seemed to be smothered by a heavy punch, and he was a little out of breath. I saw that on this edict, it was written about the second son of the emperor. "How is this possible? This is absolutely impossible! How could Your Majesty make such a move as to abolish the elder and establish the young? Moreover, ......"
"And what?" Chen Liao reprimanded, "I don't know about this edict, but it clearly says that my father wants to pass it on to me." What kind of face do you have to question me? On the contrary, you are my good big brother, who thinks that if you alter the edict, you can get away with it, which is the crime of deceiving the king!"
Bai Fan looked angry and was about to have a seizure, but he still endured it. Although he didn't want to believe that His Majesty would let Chen Zhihao not stand, but instead pass on the throne to Chen Liao, the situation in front of him was conveying this fact.
It's just that he still doesn't want to believe it, "Is this edict a note from His Majesty? Has anyone touched the place where it was placed?"
"General Bai, is it His Majesty's note, I think you should be able to tell it. As for the place in the political affairs hall, only Pang Gong and I know. And when I went to pick it up, the seal and dust were intact, and no one had opened it. β
"To be precise, it should not have been opened recently. If someone can imitate the note...... "Bai Fan still doesn't want to admit reality. Because no matter what Chen Xiao expressed in front of him, it was still the answer he had asked in private. Chen Xiao wanted to pass on the throne to Chen Zhihao.
"General Bai ......" Ji Kuo patted Bai Fan's shoulder and sighed, "The edict is here, I have to believe it." β
Bai Fan wanted to say something more, but in the end he kept silent. Chen Liao only thought that he had given up the struggle.
"Lord Ji, the political affairs hall will draft an edict as soon as possible to inform the world of the matter of inheriting the great unification. β
"General Bai, I order you to immediately take someone to arrest Chen Zhihao, the criminal king who intends to usurp the throne. If there is resistance...... Kill or kill!"
Chen Liao's eyes were exceptionally bright.
Li Mu, who was standing at the gate of the palace, saw all this in his eyes and listened to it in his ears. When he first saw Chen Liao, he was as shocked as Bai Fan. Then he was relieved. The reason why the Star Hidden Palace still wants to control the crown prince in the face of the thirteen leaders and the Tianzi Grandmaster. It is to let the crown prince Chen Zhihao die in Chen Xiao, witness the edict, and the new emperor succeed to the throne.
As long as the prince is not present, even if he is coerced, there are many articles that can be done. As long as you take the first step to occupy the righteousness, it is one step at a time.
Tianzi Grandmaster, that is the power that Chen Xiao can directly mobilize. Especially Dong Wen, an old guy, like Zhuge Qinmo, is deeply trusted by Chen Xiao. In case when he took out the edict, Dong Wen jumped out and said something else, disrupting the overall situation, it would be more than worth the loss.
"At least this is a risky move, a good move. Chen Liao was complacent, at this moment, Ji Kuo had already approved the edict. Coupled with the other people in the six departments who originally supported him, as well as other people who were bought in the court, Chen Liao's throne has been decided.
