Princess Consort Is No Pushover

Others also came over one after another, carefully looking at the writing on it.

After looking at it for a while, everyone said: "Yes, this is the handwriting of the first emperor, and there is also the Jade Seal of Chuanguo on it. It turns out that this copy is the real edict, and Chu Yao's copy must be fake. He must find someone to imitate it." It was only by stealing the handwriting of the first emperor and stealing the Jade Seal of Chuanguo that he forged the imperial edict."

"That's right, let me just say, is there any biological father in this world who doesn't pass the throne to his own son, but to his younger brother?"

Zhang Yuan wept, and nodded again and again, "You are right, Chu Yao's edict was indeed copied by someone else. After the late emperor was seriously ill, he had expected that Chu Yao would kill him, and he wanted to unite Those loyal ministers eradicated Chu Yao, but he was already surrounded by Chu Yao's henchmen, and he was seriously ill, unable to do anything, so he had to take advantage of the time when the old slave was serving him alone, and forced himself to write down this imperial edict. The old slave must be handed over to His Royal Highness Li Wang in front of the Queen Mother and ministers, and it turned out..."

"What's the result?" Taishi Li asked anxiously.

Zhang Yuandao: "As a result, the palace was controlled by Chu Yao at that time. As the emperor's younger brother, he controlled the harem, controlled the defense of the capital, suppressed loyal officials, formed a party for private interests, and joined forces with Yunqing and other treacherous officials to control everyone, including the queen mother. At that time The palace is full of Chu Yao's forces, and this old servant dare not take out this edict."

"After the death of the first emperor and the tragic death of the first empress, Chu Yao immediately took the fake edict and became emperor under the urging of treacherous ministers. Seeing this situation, the old slave dared not take out the edict. And the old Nu is the most trusted person of the late emperor, so as soon as Chu Yao came to the throne, he immediately sent people to hunt me down. He wanted to get rid of all the confidantes of the late emperor. In order to protect this edict, the old slave had to ask the old slave's apprentice Li Jinzhong for help. Li Jinzhong asked me to hide in a clean bucket of water before sending me out of the palace. After leaving the palace, in order to protect the edict, I fled to a sparsely populated place. Finally, I fled to a remote isolated village. I survived only by relying on a distant relative of mine."

Li Jinzhong next to him heard this and hurriedly said: "Yes, this slave can testify that it was indeed the slave who secretly sent my master out of the palace back then."

Zhang Yuan said: "Yes, Jinzhong, without you, I am afraid that this real edict would have been taken away by Chu Yao and destroyed."

When everyone heard this, they finally understood the ins and outs of the matter.

At this time, Taishi Li said angrily: "Chu Yao, a traitorous minister, even forged an imperial edict to seek to usurp the throne. He has committed a heinous crime and deserves to be punished!"

"No wonder I felt strange back then. I always felt that the handwriting of Chu Yao's edict didn't look like that of the late emperor. It turned out that he asked someone to imitate it." An old official said.

Taishi Li said: "Back then, Jiang Ning and other ministers stood up to doubt Chu Yao, suspecting that he planned to usurp the throne and killed the first emperor and the first queen. As a result, these ministers were killed and demoted by Chu Yao, and all of them did not end well. Even if there are people behind No matter how much you doubt this matter, you will be afraid of Chu Yao's power and dare not speak."

"Yes, just like that, those ministers who were loyal to the first emperor and had doubts about Chu Yao disappeared one after another! In the end, Chu Yao was surrounded by his own people, and the other ministers, in order to protect themselves, dared not come any more. Talk. In this way, the court has become Chu Yao's voice, after many years, there are fewer and fewer people who know the truth, that's why everyone was deceived by Chu Yao." The old minister said.

At this time, Taishi Li looked at Chu Xuanchen with a guilty expression on his face, "Your Highness, I'm sorry, in fact, the old minister and Taifu Han also suspected Chu Yao and were dissatisfied with him, but we have seen the fate of those loyal ministers. We have seniors at the top and young at the bottom, and we really dare not stand up and question him, which is why you have been wronged for so many years."

"Your Highness, we are also at fault. We were too timid back then and didn't dare to say anything, which made Chu Yao arrogant for so many years." The old minister also sighed.

Hearing these words, Chu Xuanchen hurriedly said: "Everyone, don't blame yourself. Chu Yao has been cruel and cruel all these years. It is human nature that you dare not question him. Fortunately, everyone can see clearly now. His true face, and finally know the truth."

At this time, Su Ming hurriedly stepped forward and said, "My lord, since this is the real imperial edict in the hands of Eunuch Zhang, then you are the emperor of Chu, and you should inherit the throne."

As he said that, he looked at the other ministers and said, "Everyone, His Royal Highness Li is of the orthodox blood of the late Emperor. According to the imperial edict left by the late Emperor, the throne should be inherited by His Royal Highness, don't you think so?"

"Yes, of course." Li Taishi and others nodded hurriedly.

"That's good." Su Ming said, and took the lead in kneeling in front of Chu Xuanchen, cupped his hands and shouted loudly: "The ministers and others have decided to support His Royal Highness King Li as the emperor according to the late emperor's edict. The ministers see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live .”

After he finished shouting, other ministers also knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Seeing this scene, the concubines and soldiers also knelt down and shouted loudly: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

The concubines here were all abandoned by Emperor Hongyuan, and most of them had no children.

Even if they had children, those children, such as King Zhao and King Xian, did not run away with Emperor Hongyuan.

They believed that with Chu Xuanchen's benevolence, their children would not be blamed by Chu Xuanchen, so they also supported Chu Xuanchen's proclaiming emperor.

As for King Yan, his mother concubine Hui Concubine, sixth prince Chu Ziling, seventh princess Chu Yunyan and others, they had already fled with Emperor Hongyuan!

These people belong to the same faction as Emperor Hongyuan, so they will be dealt with.

Now, so many people spoke together, the voice resounded through the hall, and it sounded very excited and surging.

That scene was also very exciting.
