Martial arts becoming a saint: starting from the royal forbidden area

Chapter 73 Finally waiting for you! [Recommended monthly pass for reading collection]

After listening to what the eunuch said about the situation inside and outside the palace, Qin Che always felt that something was wrong.

This feeling of something wrong comes from Su Dan.

This Su Dan seemed a little too calm.

"Where did you get the injury?" Qin Che glanced at the eunuch and asked.

The eunuch looked down and replied with his healed wound: "After I received your majesty's secret message, I took the people away from the secret passage of your majesty's chamber.

After leaving the secret passage, they were ambushed.Several people around me died trying to block the arrows.

I was the only one who persisted to reach the prince. "

Qin Che asked, "Are many people aware of that secret passage?"

The eunuch shook his head and said, "I don't know who knows, but I just learned today that there is such a secret passage in His Majesty's bedroom."

This arrangement is very consistent with Emperor Xing's consistent style.

However, such a secret secret passage is still known to others.

That must be the person closest to Emperor Xing, because only the closest people can enter and leave the palace at will.

In addition to coming and going at will, this person must also be very careful.

Because Emperor Xing could not have nothing to do and go to the secret passage by himself.

There are too many doubts here, but now is not the time to explore these.

And these are not problems that Qin Che needs to solve.

The two of them arrived in Qianjing in tandem and quickly arrived at Qianjing.

After entering the city smoothly, we rode all the way to the palace.

With his identity as Prince Qin Cheze, he had an unimpeded journey to the outside of the dormitory.

Outside the dormitory, the foreign ministers knelt on the ground.

The person kneeling at the front was an old man with white hair and a boyish face. The old man was wearing a crimson robe. There was no trace of sadness or joy on his face. He knelt on the ground motionless.

Feeling Qin Che's gaze, the old man raised his head and looked at Qin Che.

"Xiang Su, this is Prince Ze. On His Majesty's orders, I invite Prince Ze to enter the palace." The eunuch introduced Qin Che to Su Dan.

Su Dan nodded, and then greeted Qin Che: "Old minister Su Dan, I have met Prince Ze."

"Yes." Qin Che nodded and uttered a syllable from his nose as a response.

The eunuch and Qin Che did not stay outside for long, but quickly entered the front hall of the dormitory.

There were many people standing inside the front hall.

It can be seen from the clothes on these people that these are members of the royal family.

Seeing Emperor Xing's personal eunuch coming in with a young man with an unfamiliar face, these royal family members were full of doubts.

"Is this the dragon son of Emperor Xing who is away?"

"Looking at the age, they are a bit similar, but the dragon son outside does look impressive. He is much stronger than the prince."

"Could it be that His Majesty plans to pass the throne to him?"

"Impossible, even if he is the dragon son that His Majesty left behind.

But this origin is too unjust to explain.

As for bloodline, it's hard to explain clearly.

And looking at his age, he is much younger than the prince.

His Majesty said that he would establish a long-term position. "

Because of Qin Che's sudden appearance, people outside were muttering quietly below.

Qin Che turned a deaf ear to all this and just followed the eunuch all the way to the dormitory.

At this time, in the bedroom, Emperor Xing's concubines, sons, and daughters were all kneeling on the ground.

You can clearly hear the choking sounds of these people kneeling on the ground.

It's just that some people are really choked up, and some people are pretending to have to comply.

In front of everyone, two people in plain clothes, a man and a woman, stood in front of Emperor Xing's window.

The woman's eyes were filled with tears, and she kept wiping her tears.

Although there was sadness on the man's face, it was more of a look of expectation.

Needless to say, these two people are naturally Queen Su and Prince Qin Tong.

Qin Che suddenly appeared in the dormitory and once again attracted the attention of many people.

Especially Qin Che, who is so young and so impressive.

It’s hard not to stand out.

But who is Qin Che?

No one knows this.

The eunuch led Qin Che all the way to Emperor Xing's bed.

"Queen, Prince, this is Prince Ze Qin Che. Your Majesty ordered the old slave to invite Prince Ze to come." The eunuch introduced to Queen Su and Qin Tong in a low voice.

Everyone couldn't help but be startled when they heard that the person coming was Qin Che, the Prince of Ze who had never shown his face.

Then many people slowly recalled who Qin Che was, the only son of Prince Yan, a person who was unusually low-key and never showed up, and who should have been dead long ago.

Empress Su and Prince Qin Tong were both in a daze for a moment.

Because neither of them knew what Qin Che was here for.

On the contrary, Emperor Xing who was on the bed actually opened his eyes when he heard the word Qin Che.

"Imperial nephew, you are here." Emperor Xing struggled to open his eyes, with a rare smile on his face.

Qin Che looked at Emperor Xing who was still breathing and nodded: "Your Majesty, I'm here."

Emperor Xing smiled with difficulty: "Just come, just come. I said I would wait for you to come, and I will definitely wait for you to come. Have you brought the imperial edict from my nephew?"

Qin Che took out the edict given to him by Emperor Xing and said, "Take it with you."

Emperor Xing said with a smile on his face: "Then the next thing will be left to the emperor's nephew."

"Okay." Qin Che agreed.

Upon hearing Qin Che's promise, Emperor Xing closed his eyes with a smile on his face, his breath completely cut off, and there was no longer any life left.

"His Majesty!"

"Father!"

Feeling that Emperor Xing had lost all vitality, Empress Su and Prince Qin Tong all expressed unspeakable grief.

The concubines and children who were kneeling below began to cry loudly at the same time.

And everyone cried loudly, as if they were competing to see who could cry louder.

Qin Che had been watching from the sidelines without any expression.

After crying for a while, everything had been rehearsed countless times before we started walking.

People from the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Palace all took action.

Regarding these, they have been practicing for a long time.

They did this not because they wanted to curse Emperor Xing.

Just so that when the moment really comes, they won't make a mistake.

As long as they don't make mistakes, then they can really give Emperor Xing the final dignity.

During the whole process, Qin Che was just a spectator.

After everything on Emperor Xing's side has been arranged, the next step is to announce Emperor Xing's last edict.

A country cannot live without a king for a day, so succession to the throne has always been a tradition in the Zhou Dynasty.

Because Emperor Xing had left an edict, all he had to do was read out the edict.

Qin Che handed Emperor Xing's last edict to the eunuch in charge.

He stood aside.

The rest of the people knelt on the ground. This time it was not just the prince and others, but also members of the royal family and foreign ministers.

Because such a succession must be upright and open, and absolutely must not be criticized by anyone.

In this way, there will be no trouble when the new emperor succeeds to the throne.

The eunuch in charge of the ceremony loudly read out the imperial edict of Emperor Xing, and then said a lot of clichés.

Finally got to the point.

"The rituals of the ancestral temple must not be neglected, I..."

After reading this, the eunuch in charge suddenly lost his voice.

Just when everyone was confused, the eunuch in charge continued to read: "The eldest son of my younger brother, Prince Yan, Prince Sheng, Qin He, is old and virtuous. His order is to inherit the throne and announce it to the world in order to serve the country. I admire this!"

As the eunuch in charge read out the edict, everyone in the room was stunned.

It was really quiet inside the house and you could hear a pin drop.

Qin Che glanced at Emperor Xing who was still lying on the bed with a smile on his face, and felt very helpless in his heart.

This Emperor Xing obviously wanted to tie Qin Che and Qin He deeper.

Qin He was directly transformed into the eldest son of Prince Yan. In this way, according to etiquette, the two people were brothers.

As for how outsiders see it, that is their business.

"Impossible, this can't be a real edict!"

Qin Tong was the first to stand up and started shouting loudly.

Qin Tong couldn't help but yell.

Emperor Xing stated many times that he would follow the example of the ancients in establishing a long career.

What is the result of this?

Of course, the eldest son of Prince Yan is also the eldest son.

But what about the prince himself?

He is the prince, and Emperor Xing did not depose the prince.

No matter what, he should succeed to the throne.

How did he end up becoming the eldest son of Prince Yan?

"Prince, please pay attention to your words. The handwriting on the edict was undoubtedly written by Emperor Xing himself!"

The eunuch in charge said in a stern voice.

This was before Emperor Xing's spirit, and Emperor Xing's body was still cold, so the prince was so rude. How could this be happening?

Queen Su also stood up and said, "I don't believe this is a testament written by His Majesty himself!"

Queen Su also had doubts. The eunuch in charge could only show the edict to Queen Su, and also showed it to everyone: "Please take a look at the Queen. This is indeed written by Your Majesty."

Everyone looked at the imperial edict. Everyone present had seen Emperor Xing's handwriting.

So you only need to look at it to know that this edict is true.

It's just that Emperor Xing's arrangement was far beyond everyone's expectations.

No one thought that Emperor Xing would give everyone such a big surprise in the last moments of his life.

Of course it could be fright.

"Even if this edict is indeed written by His Majesty himself, under what condition was it written by His Majesty himself?

If His Majesty wrote the edict under duress, should we recognize such a edict?

What's more, the prince is still there, and His Majesty has never deposed the prince. Isn't such a posthumous edict very strange?

Even if the edict is true, I still question the authority of the edict. "

The person speaking this time was Su Dan, the chief minister of the dynasty, the queen's biological father, and the prince's biological grandfather.

Although Su Dan never formed a party for personal gain, when Su Dan said it, no one spoke up to object.

Everyone watched quietly, wanting to see how things would develop next.
