Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Chapter 985 Son succeeds to the throne
As soon as these words came out, Lu Changan was shocked, especially when he saw that she actually took out the bright yellow edict of succession, his brows furrowed deeply.

Under the night, she wore rich makeup and the queen's phoenix robe, so no one doubted her identity.She is Ye Yao, the queen. It is very reasonable that the emperor wrote the edict of succession when he was seriously ill and gave it to the queen for safekeeping and took it out after his death.

"It turns out that the emperor also told King Suping about the edict of passing the throne, so let's ask King Suping to read it in public." With that, Liu Yunxiang handed the edict of passing the throne to Lu Changan.

Lu Changan stared at the edict, and at the same time his hand had reached into his arms, where there was another edict he had prepared.

"I believe that the emperor only left this edict. If there is anything else, it must be false." Liu Yunxiang said in a deep voice.

"The Queen's edict must be true?" he asked with raised eyebrows.

"This letter was written by the Emperor himself. I believe King Suping will recognize his handwriting, and so will the ministers below."

"What if someone copied it?"

"There is also a jade seal on it."

Lu Changan narrowed his eyes. The emperor did write an edict of passing the throne and gave it to Wu Min. Before being imprisoned, Wu Min gave the edict to his son, hoping that he would take it to Zhenbei and hand it over to Yan Mu, but Xue Hesong told him clearly that he had taken back the edict from Young Master Wu and burned it.

Thinking of this, Lu Changan looked towards Xue Hesong who was kneeling below.

Xue Hesong seemed to feel this cold light and trembled involuntarily.He didn't dare to tell the truth, fearing that Lu Changan would kill him immediately if he knew he didn't get the edict.

"Since there is an edict to pass the throne, let's ask King Suping to read it." At this time, an old minister stood up and said.

Other ministers also echoed. Most of these people are actually Lu Changan's people, but they have no clear situation and think that this is solidarity with Lu Changan.

"King Suping, you gave me this queen's identity. Unless you reveal it in public, the edict in my hand will be more credible." Liu Yunxiang leaned over and whispered.

Lu Changan took a deep breath, "Yunxiang, do you insist on going against me?"

"Why, do you think a weak woman like me doesn't have this ability?"

Lu Changan sighed again, took the edict anyway, and began to read it out in front of all the ministers.When they read that the throne had been passed to Zhenbei King Qin Mu, everyone had different expressions. Apparently some people had realized that Lu Changan was not in control of the situation, and they had made a mistake in supporting him.

"Passing the throne to the King of Zhenbei? But the King of Zhenbei is a rebellious official and a traitor, and he has passed away!" Xue Hesong hurriedly shouted in order to achieve meritorious service.

An old minister said: "It is said that the King of Zhenbei died to save the people from being massacred by the West Vietnamese Army. However, Mr. Xue branded the King of Zhenbei as a 'rebellious minister and traitor'. Not to mention that we ministers did not agree, the world The people can’t agree!”

"you!"

"Exactly, King Zhenbei is a hero, no one can slander him!"

These are all veterans, or ministers who were demoted because they were squeezed out by Chief Lu. If they unite, they can still fight against Lu Changan's people.

"No matter what, King Zhenbei died. This is a fact. The edict said that it was impossible to pass the throne to him." Xue Hesong saw that Lu Changan's face was not good, so he quickly returned to the topic.

As soon as these words came out, the ministers fell silent.

Indeed, the King of Zhenbei died and could not succeed to the throne. "Even if King Zhenbei died, he still has a son!" After Liu Yunxiang said this, he turned to look at Lu Changan and said: "King Suping had the foresight and had already sent people to bring the prince of Zhenbei to the capital. "

Everyone looked at Lu Changan, waiting for him to speak.

Lu Changan's eyes were cold. He did not expect that Liu Yunxiang would attack him, making it impossible for him to produce the edict of succession that he had prepared previously, and thus he would not be able to succeed to the throne in a legitimate manner.

Of course, he could ignore the edict and kill all the ministers who were disloyal to him.But as soon as he takes action, news will definitely leak out, and then the defenders in Zhenbei and Lingnan, including various places, will take the opportunity to mutiny.

"The royal family has little interest, and the son of the King of Zhenbei ascended the throne justly and in line with the law of heaven." Liu Yunxiang stood up, walked to the dragon steps, and looked down at the ministers. "The emperor left this edict to protect the legitimacy of the imperial power and prevent some Ambitious people disrupt the country and the country!"

The veterans expressed their support and asked Lu Changan to quickly hand over the Prince of Zhenbei and support his ascension to the throne.

"King Suping, if something happens to the prince, will everyone think that you murdered him in order to compete for the throne?" Liu Yunxiang said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"Yun Xiang, do you think you can threaten me like this?" Lu Changan sighed, "If I don't want fame and only want the position, who can do anything to me?"

"Of course, you can kill us and take this position, but can you sit firmly?" Liu Yunxiang snorted lightly, "The defenders everywhere and the people all over the world will oppose you. Could it be that you have been planning for a long time, just for Are you going to be kicked off the throne after sitting on this throne?"

Yan Mu's reputation in Da Rong was too high. King Suping could control the ministers of the court, but he could not control the people of the world and the generals from various places who had military power in their hands.

"Also, I can be Ye Yao, or even Princess Zhenbei. As long as I raise my arms and call out, the defenders from all directions will respond. It is not difficult to invade Shengjing and seize your throne."

"You should know that when we didn't attack Shengjing and seize the throne, it was not because we didn't have the strength, but because we didn't want the situation to become more chaotic and the people to live in dire straits. We had the strength back then, and we still have it now."

Lu Changan lowered his eyes. This was not an exaggeration. In fact, he had thought at that time that once the emperor died, even if he had an edict in his hand, the people of the world would support Yan Mu's succession, so he was eager to cooperate with Xiyue. Attack the north of the town.But the West Vietnamese army was not under his control at all. He could only force Yan Mu to surrender before the situation got worse.

Lu Changan pondered for a while, and finally ordered his men to bring Prince Suping into the palace.

"Yun Xiang, you could have avoided dragging Yan'er into this whirlpool of power." Lu Changan sighed.

"He is the prince of Zhenbei, and he has responsibilities he has to shoulder."

"But he is only ten years old."

"With him, I can definitely wait until Yan Mu comes back."

Lu Changan turned to look at Liu Yunxiang, "Do you actually think he can come back alive?"

"He can." Liu Yunxiang looked firm, "He will not abandon us."

Lu Changan shook his head, feeling helpless and disappointed. Finally, he smiled coldly, "Qin Shengrui is a puppet in my hands, and you have seen his fate. As for Yan'er, I will not be too cruel to him, but he also wants to Just be smart and sensible enough.”

This was telling Liu Yunxiang that he could let Qin Yan succeed him, but Qin Yan would only be a puppet in his hands.

Liu Yunxiang narrowed his eyes, "He is still young, so I should listen to the government behind the curtain, and I won't let you, Prince Suping, worry too much!"
