Husband is not good: this concubine and three husbands

Chapter 364 The Edict
Shangguan congratulated: "This statement is wrong. Everyone knows that the late emperor was seriously ill at that time and often fell asleep. How did he write the imperial edict soberly? Later, the late emperor passed away, and things happened suddenly. How did the late emperor have the opportunity to write down the biography? An imperial edict? All the ministers present knew that when the late emperor passed away, the crown prince was heartbroken and shut up in his room all day long in memory of the late emperor. The king's responsibility, naturally, should remind the prince that a country cannot be without a king for a day, and the prince must stand up and preside over the overall situation. King Min wants to see the edict of the former emperor, so does King Min have an edict? The emperor did not leave an edict, so naturally It is reasonable and logical for the crown prince to succeed to the throne."

"Ministers, you all know the character of the father. Even if he has been ill and violated the peace before, he can still arrange the affairs of the country properly. The father will not be unprepared in advance. The father must have left an edict, but we I don't know, or maybe, the crown prince or the Shangguan minister deliberately hid it." Ning Xiyao retorted.

Shangguan He said angrily: "What does King Min mean by this? Does it mean that the crown prince and I hid or destroyed the edict after we got it? How could we do such a thing. If the former emperor really left an edict, we will listen to what the edict says. Just write it down, why bother to take the risk of being misunderstood to inherit the throne? King Min is trying to drive a wedge between people!"

Ning Xiyao felt that Shangguan He did not seem to be lying. Could it be that his father really did not leave an edict to pass on the throne?

He looked at Concubine Rong and asked with his eyes.Concubine Rong shook her head, and stood up and said: "I serve the late emperor, and I have never heard the late emperor mention the matter of establishing an edict. The late emperor did not leave an edict."

"Look, King Min, even Concubine Rong said that, you can't slander me anymore, can you?" Shangguan He said.

Concubine Rong is on Ning Xiyao's side, but she will never lie about the former emperor, nor will she fabricate it for Ning Xiyao's sake.

Ning Xiyao added: "Since there is no imperial edict, every prince has the same opportunity to inherit the throne, and a prince is not required."

"The first emperor established a crown prince for the purpose of appointing a crown prince. How can he be compared with other princes?"

"When the father established the prince, he was still young. After so many years, the prince's temperament and ability will change a lot. As far as I know, the father once wanted to abolish the prince, but he suppressed it because of a moment of soft-heartedness. It's not that the father still prefers the prince, but because he can't bear to make the prince sad, he wants to choose the best person to be the king at the end. Since the father has not issued a definite edict, then all the princes may be within the scope of the father's consideration .”

"Is King Min planning to force his words? The late emperor did not abolish the crown prince, it means that the late emperor did not intend to change the successor at all."

"Shangguan He, this king is talking about the throne and the crown prince, why are you sophistrying? This king is talking to the crown prince, how can you interrupt me!"

"The old minister is indeed a soft-spoken person, but as a minister, the old minister has the right to intervene. This is not only a family matter, but also a state matter. Every minister is duty-bound. The prince is kind and doesn't care too much. King Min wants to bully him with his military strength. The prince? Not to mention whether King Min is qualified to inherit the throne, just because King Min returned to Beijing without subduing Beimo, it is already a crime, so how can you be so eloquent here?"

"Shangguan's ability to turn right and wrong into black and white is really increasing day by day, and this king underestimates it. Since reasoning doesn't make sense, how about we use force to speak? Since ancient times, kings have defeated bandits. If I win you today, what do you think you will still do?" How do you sit on the throne?"

"What King Min means is that he is going to seize the palace? That is, he is going to fight for the throne? That being the case, what can the old minister say? Even if King Min wins today and kills the crown prince and me, it is also the throne that he has robbed. If you are not aboveboard, all the people in the world will laugh at you!"

Ning Xiyao suddenly felt that he really shouldn't be talking so much with Shangguan He. Anyway, his military strength is better than that of the prince, so he can grab it. If he can convince Shangguan He with reason, why do he need the army? !
"This king only knows how to maintain the orthodoxy and fulfill the wish of the emperor, and he doesn't care about the ridicule of the people in the world!"

The prince said anxiously: "Ning Xiyao, do you really want to kill me by force? So many ministers present are watching and listening, even if you become the emperor in the end, everyone has seen with their own eyes how you came to the throne. How many people will serve the country, and how many ministers will leave you!"

Immediately, some ministers came out and talked about Ning Xiyao's faults and the benefits of the prince. In short, if Ning Xiyao became emperor, they would stay away from the court and would not assist Ning Xiyao as emperor.These are people from Shangguan He and the crown prince, as agreed in advance.But there were so many of them, accounting for nearly half of them. If Ning Xiyao insisted on being emperor, then he could only abolish these people.The absence of humerus ministers is extremely threatening to the new emperor.

In the crowd of ministers, some commotion suddenly appeared.The ministers gave way one after another to make way for those who were coming.

Both the crown prince and Ning Xiyao looked this way, but it was Ning Xixiao.

Ning Xiyao asked puzzledly: "Didn't you accompany Jin Yan to heal her injuries? Why did you come here? What are you doing here?"

The prince said: "Fourth brother, you are the most beloved prince of the father. You are very likely to be favored by the father and inherit the throne. If you want to fight for it, the elder brother will never object."

Ning Xixiao looked around at everyone present, everyone's eyes were full of longing, wanting to hear what he had to say.

And what he wanted to say was indeed what they needed urgently at this time.

He suddenly took out a gleaming cloth from his body, held it up, and said, "Father left a will before his death, and it stated who the biography was located on. He gave it to me before we set off to Beimo, and told me When it is necessary, I will show this to everyone. The emperor has already rested in peace, but you are arguing about who should be the emperor here. I don’t favor either side, I just state the facts and respect the choice of the emperor.”

"Fourth brother, what is written in the imperial edict?" Ning Xiyao asked.

Ning Xixiao let out a "wow", and the edict unfolded naturally, he said: "My father intended to proclaim King Min Min as the emperor, and it was clearly written in the edict. As for whether the edict is genuine, the ministers can verify it. "

There was a sudden commotion on the field, and what Ning Xixiao said was undoubtedly very important and decisive.

Legend has it that Ning Xiyao...

The prince did not expect that there was an edict, and Shangguan He was furious. They searched the entire palace, but found no edict. It turned out that the previous emperor had given Ning Xixiao a long time ago.

Ning Xiyao was stunned, he had thought that his father might want to pass the throne to him, but when he really heard this fact, he was still extremely surprised.It turned out that the father was interested in him, and it turned out that the father really wanted to leave the throne to him.No matter how much his father favored Ning Xixiao in the past, how harsh or indifferent he was to him, at this moment, he felt that his father had him in his heart.
