Chapter 307 Binding Jiang’s True and False Will

"Then Concubine An is also capable. Just seeing this, my father promoted her to be a concubine. I don't know what my father thought. Concubine An gave birth to a daughter and became a concubine. Tsk tsk tsk When the father arrived, he became more affectionate, guessing that the romantic blood in my body is the inherited father."

"In front of the father's mourning hall, don't say inappropriate things, there are no rules at all." King Mu threw paper money into the brazier again.

"." Huai Wang smiled indifferently, he didn't say those words anymore, "Speaking of Concubine An, it was because of her that my mother and concubine were demoted to Jieyu. Now that the emperor is gone, no one can protect her. She's dead, let's see how I can avenge my mother and concubine!"

King Mu: "The situation is not stable yet, so don't act rashly, wait until the prince's matter is resolved."

"Okay, then I will listen to the elder brother. When the crown prince dies, I will teach Concubine An for my mother and concubine." Speaking of this, King Huai suddenly became serious, "Brother, since the father did not make a will, the crown prince will succeed naturally. The successor emperor? What should we do now?"

"Now that the central government and the imperial palace are under our control, it doesn't matter whether the father has made a will or not, things are easy to handle." King Mu stared at the flames in the brazier, and the raging fire was seen in his usually warm eyes, "Since the father didn't make a will Will, we can forge a will."

"." Hearing this, King Huai's lips curled up into a smirk, "Elder brother is still very strategic, I really admire younger brother."

The next day, King Mu's party summoned some important officials in the court, coerced and lured them to cooperate with King Mu's party, and forged a will.

The edict listed the prince's various crimes, and emphasized that the prince took advantage of Emperor Jianyuan's serious illness to collude with frontier soldiers in an attempt to rebel, and ordered the prince to commit suicide in the western army.

At the same time, the will also stated that the prince is not worthy to be the new emperor, so that King Mu will inherit the throne.

In addition, the Mu Wang Party ordered officials and soldiers from all over the country to arrest the prince and kill him!

Holding the false will, King Mu completed the coronation ceremony shortly after the death of Emperor Jianyuan and carried out the handover of power.

Now, the King Mu's party has controlled most of the situation in Dongliang Kingdom, and King Mu can become emperor as soon as the prince dies!
Even, he can ignore the crown prince, as long as Emperor Jianyuan's funeral is over, he can choose a date to ascend the throne.

This time, Mu Wang's party is ready for everything, and only owes Dongfeng!

However, the wait was more than half a month.
At the end of April, Mu Wang's party finally got the news of the prince, but it was not the news of the prince's death.

**
On April 22, 23 days had passed since Emperor Daxing passed away.

After the death of the emperor of Dongliang Kingdom, the body had to be placed in the palace for 27 days.

As early as when the Emperor Daxing passed away, someone would bathe the Emperor Daxing with special potion, wipe and disinfect the body with wine, and then wrap it with the best antiseptic cloth, and smear the coffin with antiseptic things .

Even the parked Longyuan Temple has a lot of ice cubes.

The remains can be parked for 27 days, or even longer without decomposing.

However, the throne is suspended for 27 days, which may bring great political risks.

Especially for a new emperor like King Mu who has a bad reputation, the risk is even greater.

No, on the evening of the 22nd, Mu Wangdang heard the news that the crown prince had returned to the capital all the way, and immediately summoned his trusted officials to the Palace of Preserving Harmony to discuss matters.

Now that King Mu is the quasi-new emperor, he has to mourn and worship in person every morning, noon and night.

For convenience, he was discussing matters in the palace during this time.

"What? Lao San will arrive in the capital in three days?!" Huai Wang was so angry that he patted the table, "Didn't Kang Wang agree with us that he will definitely remove Lao San's head?"

"Kang Kang can't be trusted." A minister shook his head and sighed.

"When Emperor Daxing handed over the military power to King Kang, King Kang didn't chase and kill the prince at all. Instead, he kept the prince from the capital and continued to let the prince play the role of military adviser and commander in the army. The Palace of the Xixia Kingdom has conquered the Xixia Kingdom in one fell swoop!"

"Even the crown prince's triumphant return to the capital this time, King Kang has covered the crown prince, and the army officers and soldiers are all with the crown prince."

King Huai glared at the minister angrily, "What kind of prince is not a prince? If the successor emperor is here, how can there be any prince?"

"." The minister immediately clapped his mouth to himself, and changed his words: "It's the lower official who said something wrong, it's not the crown prince, it's the third prince."

King Huai rolled his eyes, and then he got down to business: "Kang Kang is such a fool, hasn't he always had a grudge against the third child? His father has already handed over the military power to him, so he won't kill him at such a good opportunity. Third child, he's out of his mind!"

"Besides, didn't we greet the officials from all over the country, and they were not allowed to let the third child go, and we wanted to kill the third brother? Which local officials let the third brother go?"

Minister [-]: "It is said that the third prince returned to the capital without hindrance, and officials from all over the country helped the third prince to conceal his whereabouts, so the third prince was able to rush back to the capital in a short period of time, and we did not find out until now."

Minister 20: "The third prince brought [-] soldiers back to Beijing in triumph this time. When they passed through Chu, the prince of Chu and his son brought [-] troops to help the third prince, and the newly appointed king of Shu also followed the third prince all the way back. In the capital, the three princes now have nearly [-] soldiers in total, and officials from all over the country naturally dare not stop them."

Minister Three: "Not only that, I heard that when the third prince passed through the gates of various cities, he also took a will in his hand, and the will actually said that the third prince should ignore the war in the Xixia Kingdom and return to the capital to preside over the funeral and inherit the throne. "

"God's goddamn bullshit edict, it must be fake!" Although Wang Huai was guilty, he said protectively: "The edict in my elder brother's hand is the real one, this youngest, dare to pass on a fake edict, When he returns to Beijing, he will look good!"

"." Mu Wang's deep eyes exuded mysterious shadows, and after he frowned for a while, he said loudly: "The third prince falsely passed down the imperial edict, and colluded with the kings of Chu and Shu in an attempt to rebel. Get ready for the battle, when the third prince enters the capital, we will fight him to the death!"

Although the prince has nearly 20 troops in his hands, the capital, as the imperial city, is where military power is concentrated.

As far as the military strength in the capital is concerned, it is no less than that of the prince, and it can be said that it is evenly matched with the prince!
Ministers: "Yes!"

"Brother, in addition to confronting the third child head-on, do we have to take some special measures?" King Huai looked at King Mu. King Mu didn't say anything, which was a tacit agreement.

Therefore, King Huai asked one of the officials, "By the way, last time this king asked you to abort the fetus in the womb of Concubine Su of the Eastern Palace. How did you do it?"

The fetus in Concubine Su's womb was the only child in the Eastern Palace, if it was a child with a handle, would it be okay?Of course it has to be killed in the cradle!

"If you go back to His Highness King Huai, Concubine Su will have already conceived."

King Huai nodded in satisfaction, "Well. This time, when the third prince returns to the capital, you can directly tie Concubine Su to the city gate, as well as that beauty Lu. Isn't it very favourable? Tie it on!"

"Your Highness King Huai, I'm afraid this matter is inappropriate."

"Why is it wrong?" Seeing that the minister disagreed with his words, King Huai frowned and looked at the minister.

"Your approach is correct, but the two people you mentioned are probably wrong." The minister hastily explained: "When Concubine Su concubine gave birth last time, didn't we just drag out Mrs. Jiang to take the blame?"

"As a result, when Concubine Su was about to punish Jiang, the eunuch in the front yard of the Eastern Palace suddenly announced an order to promote Concubine Jiang to be Concubine Jiang, and let Concubine Jiang and Concubine Ruan be in charge of the Eastern Palace together."

"There is still such a thing." Huai Wang's eyes turned slightly, and he looked at Mu Wang, "Brother, it seems that your guess is right, then Mrs. Jiang is indeed the beloved of the third child. If we hadn't pulled Jiang Shi came out to take the blame and defrauded the order of the third child, I am afraid we will all be deceived by him."

Speaking of this, King Huai was a little undecided, "Then what should we do now? Why not just tie up Mrs. Jiang, Mrs. Su, and that beauty Lu?"

"That's not necessary, just tie up Mrs. Jiang." Mu Wang replied lightly.

King Huai reminded: "Brother, I would rather tie a thousand by mistake than let one go!"

King Mu still insisted: "No need, just tie up Mrs. Jiang alone."

"Okay, then you can tie up Mrs. Jiang according to the elder brother's wishes!" King Huai ordered the officials present.

However, as soon as the words fell, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside.

King Huai turned his head to look at the door, his gaze was as sharp as a knife blade.

Undoubtedly, he tiptoed to the door, opened it suddenly, and looked around.

Except for the monks and priests who were chanting scriptures not far away, and the chief minister Xiang Dong who was instructing the maids and eunuchs outside, there were no other suspicious people.

And the corridor outside the door was empty, not even a shadow of a person.

Just at this time, an eunuch walked by with tea.

King Huai grabbed the eunuch's arm and asked in a deep voice, "Did you see someone at the door just now?"

"." The eunuch shook his head, "The servant didn't see it."

Only then did King Huai let go of the eunuch, and he and King Mu went back to the hall and took their seats.

**
It's night, Shiyue Pavilion.

Lying on the bed, Jiang Shishi could still hear the chanting and ringing of the bell in the palace.

If this was done in the past, the noise from outside would hardly affect her, since she always fell asleep in bed anyway.

But since the emperor passed away, her thoughts were a little messed up when she was lying on the bed, and the noise outside would naturally affect her sleep.

According to the plot in the book, a few days after the death of Emperor Daxing, the crown prince will also die young, and then King Mu will hold the enthronement ceremony.

However, more than 20 days have passed since Emperor Daxing passed away. There was no news of the prince's death, but there was no news of the prince either.

Although before the prince set off, she wanted to spoil the story but was stopped by the prince.

But according to the current situation, there should be some kind of butterfly effect, which caused a deviation between the real situation and the plot in the book.

Just as Jiang Shishi was thinking about the problem, suddenly there was a figure outside the door.

Today's guards are Chun Xing and Xiao Guizi, and now Chun Xing is making a bed on the floor, fast asleep.

The watchman outside is Xiao Guizi.

Jiang Shishi saw that figure whispering to Xiao Guizi for a while, and then the door was pushed open from the outside.

Obviously, Xiao Guizi opened the door for that man.

These days, Jiang Shishi and Concubine Ruan found many slaves bought by Mu Wang's party in the East Palace.

Once discovered, those servants were sent to other palaces to do errands.

Originally, Jiang Shishi was lucky to come. The servants of Shiyue Pavilion were all selected by Huang Dechang at the beginning, and there was no problem with them.

But at this moment, Xiao Guizi quietly let him in.

Could it be that Xiao Guizi was also bought by Mu Wang's party?
