Concubine Agent: My lord, stop pretending

Chapter 456 succession, not qualified

The two officials were stunned by the question, and they looked at each other. Mr. Zhao from the Ministry of Rites said: "If they are not the descendants of the Ye family, they are naturally not qualified to inherit the Yutian Jiangshan."

Master Liu, the official historian, nodded when he heard the words, and said, "That's true." As he spoke, he bowed his hands to the sky, "If the former emperor knew, he would definitely not have issued such an order."

Although Ye Hao's question didn't address the reality, people with a clear heart had already heard the unexpected meaning, and cast their eyes on Ye Huan one after another.

Ye Huan's face remained the same, he looked at everyone calmly, but in his heart, he was already overwhelmed, as if there was an answer, and he was about to break through the ground, drawing an end to his nearly 20 years of doubts.

"What does King Kang mean by this?" Master Zhao asked Yehuan after looking at him.

Ye Hao pursed his lips tightly, his eyes showed embarrassment, as if he couldn't speak.

"King Kang, what do you mean by that?" King Ding was in a hurry, he assisted Ye Huan with all his strength, if he wasn't the son of the late emperor, wouldn't it be ridiculous for what he did?
"Why is Uncle Wang in such a hurry? This king naturally wants to say something." Ye Hao walked slowly in front of Ye Huan, looked him up and down, and said word by word, "I have been calling you five for so many years." Brother, thinking about it is really embarrassing!"

Empress Dowager Shen at the side suddenly understood what was happening, her eyes were shocked: "Hao'er, what are you talking about? The Fifth Prince...is not His Majesty's..."

Ye Hao stared into Ye Huan's eyes, looked at his calm face, and became even more angry in his heart: "Yes, Ye Huan is not the child of the emperor at all, he is not qualified to inherit the throne!"

As soon as these words were said, there was silence outside the palace gate, except for the whistling wind, which was still wantonly plundering everything.

The air became quiet, and apart from the sound of the wind, it seemed that everyone's breathing could be heard, one after another, as light as a feather, but as heavy as Mount Tai.

Empress Dowager Shen secretly understood something in her heart, she pretended to stagger a step, closed her eyes, and said slowly: "This is a major matter, and it cannot be determined by just one person's words. The Ai Family, please move to the front hall, this place is not for discussion place."

King Ding also came back to his senses, glanced at Yehuan, then nodded, and said: "The queen mother is right, my lords, please move!"

"Yes." Everyone responded in unison, full of doubts, and walked towards the front hall one after another.

Ye Hao glanced at Ye Jing a lot, but couldn't see anything, and couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.He stepped forward to support Empress Dowager Shen, and walked towards the front hall together.

King Ding walked in front of Ye Huan, paused, sighed, and left.

Soon, only Ye Jing, Ye Mohua, and Ye Huan were left outside the hall.

Ye Huan smiled helplessly, looked a little lonely, looked at Ye Jing, and said, "Fourth Brother, I finally know why Father hates me so much."

Ye Jing frowned upon hearing this, not knowing what to say to comfort Ye Huan.Since Ye Hao said it in front of all the officials, he must have conclusive evidence.This move can be said to be a draw from the bottom of the pot. If Ye Huan is proven not to be a descendant of the Ye family, then he is naturally not eligible to inherit the throne.

But that's not right, Emperor Hui should have known about it a long time ago, since he knew, why is there this imperial edict today?
Ye Huan didn't say anything more, and walked towards the front hall.

"How did it become like this?" Ye Mohua didn't react, and pushed Ye Jing, "You go to the palace every day to play chess with the old emperor, and he didn't tell you a word?"

Ye Jing shook his head: "My father's thoughts are too deep, even I can't figure it out. Take today's incident as an example, Ye Hao will definitely not let it go if Ye Huan is established first. The opposing facts he presented are absolutely The best thing is to get the support of everyone in Yutian. But how could Yehao know something that even you and I can't find out?"

Ye Mohua's eyes lit up: "Someone must have revealed it on purpose!"

"Who is this person?" Ye Jingjun frowned slightly, "Yunxiao secretly contacted Ye Huan, presumably he was helping him. As for Yu Zilan, I believe it may be him, but he may not be able to provide conclusive information. evidence."

Ye Mohua said: "You don't doubt the late emperor, do you?"

Ye Jing didn't speak, but just glanced at him indifferently, and walked towards the front hall.

Ye Mohua blinked, looked up at the lonely moon, a deep and special smile appeared in his eyes, and followed Ye Jing.

The good show in the front hall has just been staged, so how can it be appropriate if you don't join in the fun?

The front hall of Detian Palace is the place where the emperor went to court.

The lights are bright, like daytime.

There are hundreds of officials standing on both sides of the huge hall, and the standing positions are different from those in the upper court, but they are headed by Ye Hao and Ye Huan.

Empress Dowager Shen stepped up to Dan Bi with heavy steps, and sat down on the throne. Beside her was Fang Sheng, the eunuch in charge of Chaolu Palace.

"Kang Kang, tell me what's going on?" The Empress Dowager Shen lowered her face, with a serious appearance.Whether it is the queen or the queen mother, she can grasp the essence of it just right, as if she was born for these two positions.

"Returning to the Queen Mother, I only revealed this fact for the sake of the orthodoxy of the Yutian imperial family." Ye Hao said while looking at Ye Huan, squinting his eyes, "He is not the son of the late emperor, so he is not qualified to inherit the throne!"

This time, Ye Hao referred to his name, and such a righteous accusation seemed to hit everyone's minds, and they could no longer ignore all of this.

"Kang Kang, you must speak with evidence!" Ding Wang was also in a hurry. His assistantship for nearly 20 years must not end inexplicably like this, and he must see tangible evidence.

Ye Hao smiled coldly: "Of course there is evidence." After saying that, he looked outside the hall and said loudly, "Bring people up!"

Ye Hao's entourage, Xiao Rong, led a woman up the hall. He lowered his head, his footsteps were a little trembling, he came to the front, knelt down with a plop, and tremblingly said: "Minister...knowing the empress dowager, the empress dowager Chitose..."

Empress Dowager Shen looked at the woman with her head on the ground, she was puzzled, and said, "Who are you?"

"The husband's family name is Lu." Mrs. Lu prostrated herself on the ground, not daring to look up at anyone. "The civilian woman used to be an ordinary maid in the imperial concubine's palace."

After these words fell, everyone was stunned.A court lady is usually released from the palace at the age of 25. This woman's age looks like a court lady next to the concubine Cheng.But why did she suddenly stand up and testify against Concubine Cheng?

Empress Dowager Shen looked at Mrs. Lu, and slowly said: "What do you know, tell the Ai family in full, if there is a false statement, the crime of slander, even your whole family, cannot afford it."

Lu's heart was startled, and he was even more frightened. Beads of sweat dripped down one by one: "The civilian woman is really the maid next to the concubine Cheng. If the empress dowager doesn't believe it, you can check the household registration."

Empress Dowager Shen's eyes fell on Shangshu Hubu.
