The people in the court have been admonishing the deposed emperor and establishing a new one, especially the three princes and some ministers in the court.

But the only people who persuaded the regent to proclaim himself emperor were the prime ministers.

And every time after the three princes proposed to establish another emperor, Prime Minister Zuo stood up and bowed and said: "I think the regent is the most suitable."

Prime Minister You stood up and echoed: "I also think that the regent is the most suitable."

The faces of the three princes were a little pale, and they expressed their agreement duplicitously: "The emperor's uncle has unparalleled strategy and is strong and brave. He is indeed more suitable to be a king who expands territories, but..."

"It's just that inheritance of empire has always been passed down from father to son. After the death of the late emperor, even if the current emperor is unable to take over the throne, shouldn't he choose one of the other sons of the late emperor to be the new emperor?

"Then what's the trouble?" Xie Tinglan waved his hand, "The regent has made great achievements in battle, and all countries are frightened by it. Only the regent's accession to the throne can better intimidate other countries, so that they dare not act rashly. Others may not have the courage yet. "

Prime Minister Zuo nodded: "If someone else had been chosen as the new emperor, he would still have followed the same path as now. The new emperor was incompetent and feared that the regent had great achievements and military power. He tried every means to take back the military power, and even crossed the river and demolished the bridge to murder the regent. In my opinion, It would be better to just let the regent proclaim himself emperor. This way, we can avoid a lot of unnecessary suspicions and make the Yong Kingdom stronger and stronger, so that other countries will not dare to provoke anymore. "

The prime ministers on the left and right sang in harmony, and the ministers in the palace looked frightened and frightened for a while, and they all had wonderful expressions and did not dare to speak.

Not to refute, nor to disagree.

But the two prime ministers spoke too openly, the emperor was jealous, and the new emperor was incompetent. Is it allowed to say such things?

Even if it is the truth, you have to know that trouble comes from your mouth.

What if... what if the regent is not interested in proclaiming himself emperor and finally appoints a new emperor? Will this new emperor hold a grudge and tear him into pieces?

There was silence in the main hall, and even the sound of breathing was kept to a minimum.

The three princes kept a lot of words in their hearts, but they had no chance to speak out.

Similar scenes play out almost every day.

Ji Yucang never expressed his stance, with a profound expression that made it difficult to understand what he was thinking.

September has arrived in a blink of an eye.

Envoys from Mobei arrived in Yong State and brought their princess Xue Xian.

In the main hall, Xue Zicheng, the prince of Mobei, expressed humbly but forcefully that he hoped the regent would agree to the marriage between Yong and Mobei, and made it clear: "I heard that the king of Qi in your country has not yet been married, and Xiao Wang is willing to marry his sister to him as his official wife. "

As soon as these words came out, the ministers in the court couldn't help but look at Qi Wang Ji Han.

Ji Han stood silently and said nothing.

"Marry King Qi?" Ji Yucang's lips raised slightly, "Why? Does Mobei want to support King Qi in seeking power and usurping the throne?"

King Qi's expression changed greatly: "Uncle, I have absolutely no such idea! Please be careful!"

"If you don't have such an idea, then Mobei is making the decision without authorization and trying to interfere in the affairs of the Yong Kingdom?" Ji Yucang turned his eyes slightly and looked at the Crown Prince of Mobei with stern eyes, "I remember that the war between Yong Kingdom and Mobei stopped for two days. After many years, the prince wants to start another war on his own? "

The face of the prince of Mobei changed: "What the regent said is inappropriate, isn't it? Xiao Wang came all the way to express the friendship between the two countries, how could he think of provoking another war? This time Xiao Wang brought Mobei The most beautiful princess, doesn’t she even have the right to choose her husband?”

"The right to choose a husband? Unfortunately, there is none." Ji Yucang smiled coldly, "Not only do you not have the right to choose a husband, you don't even have the right to marry. I have no intention of marrying Mobei, but I want to conquer Mobei with my cavalry. , I wonder what the prince of Mobei wants to do to transfer all the territory of Mobei to the territory of Yong Kingdom?"

What?

Prince Mobei's face changed in shock, and he took a step back unconsciously: "You...what did you say? Prince Regent, do you want to provoke a war? Ji Yucang, how could you..."

"Prince Mobei violated Yong's internal affairs by interfering in Yong's internal affairs. He also colluded with King Qi. Come here!" Ji Yucang raised his hand coldly, "Take down all the envoys from Mobei."

The envoys were shocked and hurriedly spoke: "Prince Regent, we are here for marriage and for the sake of friendship between the two countries. You cannot attack us. You have violated the covenant between the two countries -"

"The two countries are at war, and they don't kill the envoys. If the regent does this, won't he worry about causing dissatisfaction in other countries?"

"Please, Prince Regent, think again!"

"Uncle." Ji Han raised his robe and knelt down, "My nephew has been living idle days in the palace these days. He has never participated in government affairs, has never had close contact with anyone, and is not likely to have any collusion with Mobei. I hope that the emperor's uncle Observe clearly.”

Ji Yucang's eyes were like lightning, cold and sharp: "I will see clearly and will never wrongly accuse an innocent person, and will never let go of a person with ulterior motives!"

Ji Han's face turned pale, and his heart sank unconsciously.

"Come here," Ji Yucang ordered, "take down King Qi."

"Uncle Emperor, Uncle Emperor, you can't do this!" Ji Han was uneasy and suddenly said angrily, "This country is the country left by my father. Even if Uncle Emperor has done meritorious service in protecting the country, he should do his duty as a minister and a prince of the royal family. Responsibility! The emperor is now self-respecting, do you want to rebel? "

The words fell to the ground like thunder.

The ministers' expressions changed one after another.

"King Qi, shut up!"

"King Qi, please be careful what you say!"

"The regent is not only the regent, but also the war god who protects the country of Yong. Even if he really wants to be the emperor, he just wants to bring order to the chaos. How can King Qi roar in the hall like this and be disrespectful to the regent?"

"Obviously, the King of Qi himself is mediocre in ability but ambitious. He tried to collude with the princes and envoys of other countries to achieve his own ulterior ambitions. But now he has defeated him. It seems that the character of the King of Qi is nothing more than this."

"Unjustly accused?" Ji Yucang raised his hand, and a chamberlain next to him came up with a stack of secret letters and presented them to Ji Yucang respectfully, "This is the secret letter between you and Prince Mobei. After the marriage is concluded, Prince Xue will help you After ascending the throne, you promise to grant their princess the title of queen."

The color on Ji Han's face faded, and he shook his head in disbelief: "Impossible, impossible, I didn't write this..."

The secret letters between him and the Prince of Mobei have obviously been destroyed. There was an agreement from the beginning of the correspondence. Every time he reads it, he must burn it immediately without leaving any evidence. How can he have it in his hand? …

This is fake, it must be fake.

"You want to know why I have your confidential correspondence in my hand?" Ji Yucang seemed to have seen the true meaning of his denial, and raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Because what you burned was a fake. Someone was half-way through it." I intercepted the letter, copied it exactly and sent it to you."

When Ji Han heard this, his heart sank, but he was still dissatisfied: "Since he can copy exactly the same thing, it means that the evidence can be completely forged -"

"The seal on the secret letter is the seal of your Prince Qi Palace." Ji Yucang said coldly, "Do you still want to say that someone stole your seal?"
