Zhao Shoulian snorted: "Didn't you already find out clearly?"

Wang Gongchen was very angry when faced with Zhao Shoulian's attitude: "Zhao Shoulian, you also know that we have sorted out the whole thing, so don't take any chances and tell what you have done in front of the people. explain clearly."

Zhao Shoulian still stood there with disdain on his face.

Wang Gongchen stood up and pointed at Zhao Shoulian: "You are stubborn, you..."

Li Jizhi coughed.

Wang Gongchen gritted his teeth and sat down angrily. Since the matter had been found out, he could just announce Zhao Shoulian's crime to the world.

Why bother to mobilize troops and mobilize people for this one?

Look at this man, he has no trace of gratitude at all.

Zhao Zhen said: "Zhao Shoulian, haven't you always felt that you should be the one to take the throne in this world? Now is the opportunity. As long as the people here support you, I swear here that I will abdicate my throne to you immediately. How about that?"

"really?"

"I am the Son of Heaven, and I will naturally take my words seriously!"

"it is good."

Zhao Shoulian said: "Since you are so confident, I hope you can keep your promise later."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and used his inner strength to the people: "Your current Majesty is not of Taizu's blood. Did you know that?"

This, they really don’t know this.

Emperor Taizong succeeded to the throne in the ninth year of Kaibao, which is already seventy-seven years ago. Most of the old people who knew the situation back then are gone.

What's more, this is a royal secret. It has not caused a large-scale mutiny, and the people will not care who becomes the emperor.

They are all Zhao family members anyway.

But there was an old man who looked at the eighty-year-old man walking a few shaky steps forward with a cane, and said: "I happen to know something about this."

Wang Gongchen said: "What can you, a commoner, know about royal affairs?"

"My old father once served in the Su Guards. It happened to be my father's turn to be on duty that night."

Zhao Shoulian didn't know what the old man knew.

But he firmly believed that Taizong used unfair means to obtain the throne.

It would be really great if the old man knew the inside story.

"Old man, tell me."

The ministers who stood aside and watched were trembling in their hearts. If the old man said something unfavorable to His Majesty Taizong, wouldn't it be detrimental to His Majesty?

"His Majesty……"

Zhao Zhen waved his hand to stop Yan Shu who was hesitant to speak: "Prime Minister Yan, there is no need to say more. Even if this old man really says something unfavorable to the imperial grandfather, now that I have been on the throne for thirty-one years and have been in charge for twenty years, I have asked myself to do my best. Try your best, I believe the people will make their own decisions in their hearts."

Your Majesty has said so, so just wait and see what happens.

"On October 19, the ninth year of Kaibao, there was snow in the sky. At night, when Emperor Taizu was about to take a rest after reviewing the memorial, he suddenly got up and asked the attendants around him to pass a message to King Jin to enter the palace. He said that there was We discussed important matters. After receiving the summons from Emperor Taizu, Zhao Guangyi did not enter the palace immediately, but..." "That's nonsense."

Zhao Shoulian became uneasy after hearing this: "What happened back then was not what you, an old man, said. It was obviously that the emperor's grandfather was seriously ill, and the emperor's grandmother entrusted Wang Jien to summon my uncle to the palace. How could he know that Wang Jien, an eunuch, would not be there after he left the palace? Instead of calling my uncle the emperor, I asked King Jin to enter the palace."

"He knew that his father was seriously ill, so he entered the palace after arranging everything. At this time, everyone inside and outside the palace belonged to him. The emperor's grandmother had no choice but to protect the emperor's uncle and father, so she was not allowed to tell the world that the emperor's grandfather had already passed the throne to the emperor. His intention.”

"In this way, he took away the throne that should have belonged to my lineage. This is the truth! Emperor Taizong is a villain who killed his brother to take the throne."

The old man's pupils were shocked after hearing this.

"No, no, that's not what my father said."

Zhao Shoulian shouted: "This is the truth of the matter. You were brought here by Zhao Zhen to deliberately tell nonsense."

The old man was so frightened that he threw away his crutch and knelt down in the direction of Zhao Zhen: "I just heard that the Holy Lord held a public hearing at Xuandemen about the imperial city's military rise, and I wanted to come and hear it. My lord, you can't talk nonsense!"

"I'm not talking nonsense, it's clearly you."

"All right!"

Li Jizhi stopped Zhao Shoulian's words and said, "It doesn't mean that you are reasonable because of your loud voice. You have finished speaking, but this old man hasn't finished speaking yet. If you don't claim to be reasonable, then what are you afraid of?"

Zhao Shoulian snorted: "What am I afraid of? Just say it!"

Gu Qingjue stood up at this time, helped the old man kneeling on the ground, and then picked up the crutches not far away and gave it to the old man.

"Thank you, sir."

Gu Qingjue nodded and sat back down.

The old man was really shocked when he heard Zhao Shoulian's words. Because it was nothing like what his father told him.

"The night Emperor Taizu fell seriously ill, my father was patrolling outside the palace. He heard the word "King of Jin" with his own ears. An hour later, King Jin entered the palace. The two of them talked together for a long time. Emperor Taizong drank too much that night. So he slept in the palace directly, and the news of Emperor Taizu’s sudden death came out the next morning.”

"Oh, you said your father heard the two of them talking, then let me ask you, what did Emperor Taizu say?"

"Here, Emperor Taizu retreated, and my father was only patrolling outside. How could we know what they said?"

Zhao Shoulian shouted again: "Have you heard that? Emperor Taizu retreated. If he really wanted to spread the news to King Jin, he should leave someone to testify. Or at that time, the emperor still had the strength to write an edict to King Jin. Him, but none.”

"That's why. The most reasonable explanation is that the imperial grandfather was not willing to pass the throne to King Jin at all. It was King Jin who controlled the palace, killed his brother to seize the throne, and then framed his younger brother for rebellion and tried every means to get rid of my uncle and my father. . In this way, he can secure the throne."

"He is cruel and ruthless, and his position is unfair. I am of orthodox blood, and raising troops is just to bring order to the chaos."

"What a great way to bring order out of chaos."

Zhao Zhen, who had been silent, stood up from his chair and walked down the steps. He stood beside Zhao Shoulian and said to Zhao Shoulian: "There is no evidence for anything you said. It is all based on your imagination. If you think it is the emperor." Grandfather’s position is unfair, you should provide evidence.”

"Evidence? After so many years, there is no evidence anywhere. Even if there are insiders, your imperial grandfather has all erased it. But even if it is erased, can the historical records be erased?"

"Historical records? I only know the historical records. Zhao Pu submitted the Golden Chamber Alliance."

Zhao Shoulian said angrily: "You have the nerve to say that the Golden Chamber Alliance is just a fig leaf created by Zhao Guangyi for himself after he seized the throne."

"You insist on saying that, and I can't refute it. Let the people decide what is right and wrong. I still said what I said before. If the people feel that I am not worthy of sitting on the throne, then I will abdicate immediately. But the people have no respect for me as the emperor. I still agree, you should be responsible for the military disaster you caused." (End of Chapter)
