I directed the Xuanwumen Incident

Chapter 162 The Supreme Political Council!Decide the outcome of the Prince and the King of Qin! (25)

At the end of the time, the candles in the political affairs hall of Taiji Palace were still flickering.

"what--"

Yuwen Shiji held several imperial edicts and handed them to Chen Shuda while yawning.

"Zicong, almost everything has been drawn up. Look, if there are no mistakes or omissions, it can be announced to the world."

He said a little tiredly.

"Okay, I'll take a look."

Chen Shuda had already poured a sip of tea into his mouth, woke up, opened the imperial decree, read and proofread it carefully.

"Ugh!"

Looking at the dark sky outside the house, Yuwen Shiji frowned and said,

"Your Majesty is determined to dethrone King Qin this time. I heard that the Imperial Army has already been mobilized... From now on, the court will be one-sided."

"Pei Ji will sit down, Xiao Yu probably has no good fruit to eat, and he will probably be released."

"From now on, even if we don't want to, we have to think about how to get along with Prince Qi."

Above the court, there are two forces - the princeling party and the Qin royal party.

The two parties have been fighting secretly for many years. The princeling party is headed by Pei Ji, and the Qin royal party is headed by Xiao Yu. Both of them have a clear-cut stand and support.

From the point of view of the entire court, most of the people who supported the prince were people from the Kanto clan, while those who supported Li Shimin were mostly the nobles of Guanlong.

The two sides coexist harmoniously on the surface, but in fact the situation is the same. If we really want to talk about grievances, we can push forward hundreds or thousands of years.

Among the important ministers participating in politics, there are also those who have both sides, such as Feng Deyi and his like, who have a close relationship with both sides.

As for him, Chen Shuda and others, although they didn't express their support clearly, they were secretly more towards Li Shimin, and their relationship with the prince was relatively distant.

Now that Li Shimin's downfall is imminent, Yuwen Shiji naturally has to think about the way out for himself.

"Let's take one step at a time."

Chen Shuda concentrated on proofreading the contents of the imperial decree, and casually said,

"The emperor's family affairs are not for us to intervene in. Otherwise, if we are not careful, we will be doomed."

"Anyway, we have only one principle. Whoever is the emperor and who holds great power, we will listen to whoever says and help whomever he does. There is nothing wrong with being a courtier like this."

Yu Wenshi shook his head helplessly when he heard the words.

"Although that is the case, who can refuse the merits of support?"

He spread his hands,

"One dynasty, one courtier, if you don't make a bet, it will not be a question of whether you will listen to who or not, but a question of whether anyone still needs you to do something."

"My requirements have never been high. After the Yuan Dynasty is changed in the future, I will be satisfied if I can keep this honor and salary unchanged until I retire and return home."

Snapped.

Chen Shuda handed the imperial decree to Yuwen Shiji.

"Old Yuwenge, the proofreading is done."

With deep eyes, he said,
"Once this imperial decree is issued, King Qin will truly be doomed."

"Actually, I also hope that there will be a turnaround, but now it seems that unless a miracle happens, there should be no change."

Yuwen Shiji received the imperial decree and was about to answer, but heard a rush of footsteps outside the house.

Da-da-da, da-da-da!
"Two elders! Two on-duty elders!"

A shrill voice came,
"Your Majesty ordered that all the will of the King of Qin are now invalid and must not be issued!"

Yuwen Shiji: "?!"

Chen Shuda: "?!"

What the fuck? !
I just said that I need a miracle, and the miracle actually came!

"Eunuch, don't worry, the imperial decree has just been drafted and proofread, and it hasn't been issued yet."

Yuwen Shiji hurriedly stepped forward to meet the eunuch who sent the message, and said with a smile,

"It's still in my hand at the moment."

"Father-in-law, your Majesty has just sent an oral order, has he changed his mind?"

The eunuch who sent the message patted his chest and let out a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, it's not too late for our family to come. It's fine if it's not sent out. It's fine if it's not sent out."

He flicked the whisk, pointed at the imperial decree and said,

"Find a brazier and burn it!"

An invalidated decree must be destroyed.

"Okay." Uncle Chen hurriedly fetched candles and a brazier, ignited the imperial decree made of silk, and set it on fire.

Drafting these imperial decrees, he thought deeply about them, and proofread them many times. It was a waste of effort, but at the moment, he didn't have the slightest regret when he burned them. On the contrary, he felt a little relieved.

This upheaval in the palace finally did not happen.

"Eunuch Chen..."

Yuwen Shiji took the hand of the eunuch who sent the message, and said in a low voice,
"Why did Your Majesty change his mind? You serve His Majesty, and you are the most well-informed. Can you tell me a thing or two?"

Eunuch Chen waved his hand.

"Old Yuwenge, our family is not very clear about this matter."

he whispered,

"I just heard that King Qin seemed to be poisoned at the East Palace banquet, and almost died of poison!"

"Your Majesty was in a hurry to drive Hongyi Palace just now, and he just came back now..."

The two ministers looked at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

King Qin.

Prince's Banquet.

Poisoned? !
When these keywords are connected together, it is hard not to let people not believe in conspiracy theories!

"Okay, that's all."

Eunuch Chen flicked his fly whisk and instructed,
"The two elders should go back and rest as soon as possible. His Majesty will come to the Political Affairs Hall to discuss matters tomorrow, and you all have to participate."

"Our family bid farewell."

"I'll see off my father-in-law." Yuwen Shiji stretched out his hand and asked, "Please."

Don't look at this as an eunuch, but the news about eunuchs is the best!Build a good relationship with them, and you can get news faster than others in many cases.

In a moment, Yuwen Shiji had returned.

"I didn't make any big moves tonight. It seems that His Majesty is going to change the way of dealing with King Qin. I said earlier that he was sent to Luoyang or something..."

He straightened his robe and said,

"That's all, let's not talk about this, let's talk about it tomorrow."

"Let's go, it's almost time to be ugly, if you don't go home to rest, you will go to court again."

Chen Shuda nodded thoughtfully.

The two extinguished the candles in the Political Affairs Hall, and hurriedly left the palace in the dark.

……

The next day.

The same political hall was already brightly lit and full of people.

Those who can sit here are all the most powerful ministers in the Tang Dynasty, who are a group of people who participate in political discussions and decide national policies!

Two rows of people sat in sequence, namely Pei Ji, Xiao Yu, Feng Deyi, Yu Wenshiji, Dou Dan, Chen Shuda, Yan Shigu, and Yang Gongren.

In the past, Pei Ji and Xiao Yu were the two ministers who took the main seat, but today, the main seat was vacant, waiting for a heavyweight.

There was silence in the hall.

The bigwigs have all displayed extremely high political literacy. Even though such a big event happened yesterday, they did not whisper or whisper.

He just kept his eyes fixed and waited quietly.

"His Majesty is here!"

The familiar squeaky voice reached everyone's ears.

In an instant, everyone stood up.

"See Your Majesty!" All the ministers said in unison.

"Exemption."

Li Yuan walked directly to the main seat and sat down, looked around for a while, and said in a deep voice,
"I called you here today for two things."

"You must have heard about what happened yesterday, so I won't say more."

"I'm getting tired of things happening one after another! The case of Zhang Liang Luoyang and the case of poisoned alcohol in the East Palace, let's talk about it together and end it together!"
