Princess Consort Is No Pushover

Su Ming immediately said: "My lord, Eunuch Zhang was the most trusted father-in-law of the late emperor, but he suddenly disappeared. I always thought it was strange. I thought, Eunuch Zhang must know what happened back then, so I have been looking for him all these years. The whereabouts of Zhang Gonggong, I hope to know the truth from Zhang Gonggong. As a result, I sent people to search for many years, but I couldn't find his whereabouts. Just when I was about to give up, the emperor finally paid off. The spies found Eunuch Zhang in a village. I rushed there in person and invited Eunuch Zhang to Beijing.”

Su Ming knew that Zhang Yuan was loyal to the late emperor and Chu Xuanchen, so he invited Zhang Yuan to Beijing in the name of supporting Chu Xuanchen.

However, this Zhang Yuan didn't trust him at all, he didn't want to talk to him about anything, let alone go to Beijing with him.

Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of Zhang Yuan's mouth, he had no choice but to tell Zhang Yuan about Su Qishao marrying the eldest princess, and that he and Chu Xuanchen became in-laws.

At the same time, he also told Zhang Yuan about Emperor Hongyuan's escape and Chu Xuanchen's rescue in Beijing.

As a result, after he finished talking about these things, Zhang Yuan still didn't trust him.

But he still doesn't give up, he still visits Zhang Yuan every day, and pesters Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan seemed impatient with him, so he said that as long as he let him see Chu Xuanchen, he would tell what happened back then.

That's why he brought Zhang Yuan to the palace and let him meet Chu Xuanchen.

He originally thought that Zhang Yuan still had reservations this time, but he didn't expect that when he saw Chu Xuanchen, he would tell the matter without even thinking about it.

It can be seen that Zhang Yuan only trusts Chu Xuanchen, not others.

At this time, Chu Xuanchen looked at Zhang Yuan and said, "Eunuch Zhang, why did you leave the palace back then, did you have any unspeakable secrets? Or, someone wanted to hurt you?"

Zhang Yuan thought for a while, and said: "My lord, this old slave was the person most trusted by the late emperor, and he was unwilling to join forces with Chu Yao. Of course, they would not let this old slave go. However, even so, this old slave will not easily If you leave the palace, you will not leave the late emperor easily. The reason why this old slave left the palace is because this old slave wants to protect an extremely important thing for the late emperor."

That's why he hid in the hog bucket in the middle of the night and left the palace secretly.

"An extremely important thing? What is it?" Chu Xuanchen asked solemnly.

Hearing this, Su Ming and the others also looked at Eunuch Zhang suspiciously.

It seems that this Eunuch Zhang really knows a lot of things, he really didn't ask him to come in vain.

Zhang Yuan looked at the crowd. He knew that Emperor Hongyuan had already fled. After Chu Xuanchen made the decision here, he immediately mustered up his courage.

He said: "His Royal Highness, in fact, Chu Yao's imperial edict was forged by himself, and the real imperial edict of the first emperor is here with this old slave."

As he spoke, he suddenly knelt down in front of Chu Xuanchen, took out a roll of bright yellow imperial decree from his sleeve, held it up with both hands, and handed it to Chu Xuanchen respectfully.

When everyone saw the edict, they were all shocked.

It turned out that Chu Yao's imperial edict was a fake, but the one in Zhang Yuan's hand was the real one.

Su Ming was also stunned for a moment, no wonder Zhang Yuan refused to reveal anything to him, it turned out that Zhang Yuan had such a shocking secret in his hands.

He just took it out at this time.

It seems that he was really loyal to the first emperor.

Seeing the edict, Chu Xuanchen was also stunned, with a bang in his head, as if it was about to explode.

He hurriedly said: "Eunuch Zhang, tell me, is your imperial edict for passing on the throne true?"

Zhang Yuan nodded firmly, "Yes, the imperial edict of the slave is the edict written by the first emperor himself, with the jade seal on it. And the imperial edict of Emperor Hongyuan was forged by himself."

Su Ming hurriedly said: "My lord, please take a look at what is written in this imperial edict."

"Yes, my lord, please open it and have a look." Mo Li and the others rushed over eagerly, everyone wanted to know what was written in the imperial edict.

Chu Xuanchen looked at the edict, his hands were already trembling slightly.

He didn't expect that his father actually left a real imperial edict.

He took a deep breath, and slowly opened the edict out of curiosity.

As soon as he opened the edict, he saw the flamboyant handwriting inside, and he recognized it at a glance, it was the handwriting of his father.

At this time, when he saw the content in the imperial edict, he froze there.

Seeing Chu Xuanchen stunned, Su Ming hurriedly looked at the imperial edict.

When he saw the contents of the imperial edict, he was also stunned.

Taishi Li next to him also saw the above content clearly, and he hurriedly read excitedly: "By God, the emperor said: The eldest prince Chu Xuanchen has been benevolent and filial since he was a child, and has a noble character. , following my ascension to the throne, that is, the throne of the emperor. Because Xuan Chen is young, I hope that all the ministers and workers will take care of the prime minister, wear a new king together, and help the community together, and admire this."

The moment the edict was read out, everyone froze there.

Chu Xuanchen was also touched. He didn't expect that his father would pass the throne to him when he was seriously ill.

At this time, Grand Master Li said excitedly again: "Did you hear that? The succession of the first emperor was passed on to His Royal Highness King Li, not to Chu Yao."

"Yes, the old minister has seen it. This is the handwriting of the late emperor, it is the handwriting of the late emperor!" An old minister came over, his eyes filled with tears.
