Chapter 131 Fake Becomes Real
Several princes who were on good terms with the Fourth Prince said, "Brother, for such an important matter, how could Father use oral instructions? Not even an imperial edict?"
"Yes, my Royal Brother, Father is in good health. I saw him yesterday and he was fine, how come he fell ill today? You are not playing tricks on me, are you? How could there be no imperial edict for such a big event?"
"My fellow brothers, if you have any opinions, you can go to see the emperor and ask him! If you make noise in the court, don't blame me for turning my back on you and exercising my father's power." Xiao Wenyan said with a stern face.
Xiao Wenyan's voice had just fallen.
Wu Danian walked out and said, " Everyone has heard that His Majesty wants to appoint the eldest prince as the crown prince. Now that His Majesty is in poor health, what's wrong with letting the eldest prince take charge of government affairs? I think you are deliberately looking for trouble... I know you are on good terms with the Fourth Prince. However, the Fourth Prince himself has committed heinous crimes! If you can't understand the situation and if you are making trouble, I will put you in jail together. Go and accompany your Fourth Prince."
As soon as Wu Danian's words came out, his followers immediately echoed them.
Several princes were speaking with intent.
However, I can also see the situation clearly.
They weren't talking either.
Seeing that the princes stopped talking, the court officials naturally stopped talking too.
"Okay, in that case..."
"Your Highness, I don't think this is appropriate!" As he spoke, a slightly younger official walked out from one side of the court.
"Who are you?"
The young
Before Liu Yi could finish, Xiao Wenyan slammed the table and shouted, "Your Highness is the Crown Prince!"
Liu Yi did not back down at all, but went a step further and said, "Since he has not been enthroned or offered sacrifices to heaven, how can he be the crown prince? Moreover, only when the emperor is critically ill, or has a serious illness, or is on a military campaign, will the crown prince be needed to act as the governor. Now, your majesty has only caught a cold, so why does the crown prince need to come out in such a hurry!"
Xiao Wenyan looked at Liu Yi with a frown and said, "Huh, Liu Yi, right? From today on, you are no longer the Minister of Personnel. Imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison!"
"Which law of Daxia do you use to put me in prison?" Liu Yi was not afraid at all, but stepped forward and asked.
Xiao Wenyan looked at Liu Yi and said, "Your Majesty has given an order! Come, throw him into the Heavenly Prison..."
The imperial guards appeared soon and took Liu Yi away.
"First Prince, you have neither an imperial edict nor an appointment. You are acting as the director of the government, which is against the imperial order! In my opinion, you want to steal the country!" Liu Yi shouted loudly before leaving.
After Xiao Wenyan heard this, a ruthless look appeared on his face. "This prince was ordered by His Majesty! That guy is obviously an accomplice of the Fourth Prince, and he is talking nonsense... Does anyone else have any objections? Yilu regards him as an accomplice of the Fourth Prince!"
Seeing that many looked at Yan Song and asked deliberately, "Master Yan, what do you think?"
Yan Song cupped his hands and said, "Since it is your Majesty's order, I will obey your order! I greet your Highness the Crown Prince."
After Yan Song said this.
Wu Danian quickly followed suit and saluted.
Some ministers were surprised by Yan Song's words.
But, no words were spoken.
Xiao Wenyan naturally took note of these ministers.
After retiring from court, Xiao Wenyan wanted to replace the imperial guards.
But what was unexpected was that the emperor also gave him the command of the imperial guards.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Xiao Wenyan only added a hundred people to the imperial guards.
These one hundred people were naturally his death squad.
These one hundred death warriors were directly arranged around the Emperor's Palace of Tranquil Longevity.
…
The next day, Kunning Palace was bustling with activity.
Everyone was in a very good mood.
There is no other reason.
Because they had already inquired and knew that the emperor's cold was getting worse.
The palace guards were also under their control.
The situation in the court was under control.
Now he just had to wait for the emperor to die, and then he would ascend the throne.
Moreover, the 100,000 troops who dare to come from all directions will be able to reach the outskirts of Longyang City in four days.
As soon as the army arrives, the throne will be set in stone.
This was something they would never have dared to imagine a few days ago.
"Mr. Fu, this glass of wine is for you... Without you, none of this would have been so smooth. I will never forget your friendship. When I ascend the throne, you will all be the most meritorious ministers." Xiao Wenyan said proudly as he picked up a wine glass and then drank it all.
Fu Qian laughed and said, "Hahaha, in fact, everything is thanks to Huangfu Chou. If he hadn't asked those two idiots Xie Hanzi and Guan Chong to instigate the Fourth Prince, the Fourth Prince wouldn't have held this boudoir party. If it weren't for these boudoir parties inviting the most powerful children from noble families in the entire Daxia, how could we catch them all in one fell swoop and let them put pressure on Your Majesty... So, let's still toast to Huangfu Chou! Cheers to Xie Hanzi and Guan the fool."
"Hahaha, that's right, toast to Huangfu Chou, toast to Xie Hanzi, toast to Guan Shazi..." Yuan Yuan said with a smile.
Everyone drank it all in one gulp with joy.
"Royal brother, can you send me some imperial guards?" Xiao Nalan said with a little excitement.
"Do you want to go to the Taimiao?" Xiao Wenyan naturally knew what Xiao Nalan wanted to do.
Xiao Nalan said bitterly, "That's right, brother... I wish I could peel off her skin and drink her blood..."
Xiao Wenyan nodded and said, "Okay, go ahead. But just take the person away... don't touch the old woman, the Queen Mother."
Xiao Nalan nodded and said, "Brother Huang, don't worry."
As Xiao Nalan spoke, she no longer had any appetite.
He headed straight towards the Taimiao with a few imperial guards.
…
At this time, the Yangxin Palace was also very lively.
Xie Xunfeng, Guan Chong, and the Fourth Prince were all among them.
Next to them was the commander of the imperial guards, Huo Feng.
Huo Feng was lurking beside Xiao Wenyan under the order of the emperor.
Huo Feng helped Xiao Wenyan to capture people, and obeyed Xiao Wenyan's orders.
They all gathered around the emperor at this time.
Originally, they didn't want to take action so quickly.
But, unfortunately, the poison to the emperor took effect too quickly.
If the matter was delayed any further, the emperor would easily die.
Originally, Xie Xunfeng gave the emperor an antidote, but the emperor did not take it at first in order to make the performance more realistic.
By the time I wanted to take it, it had no effect.
Now seeing that the emperor was about to die, Huo Feng had no choice but to quietly tie up all the assassins here.
He sneaked into the prison at night and brought them all here.
Everyone looked at Xie Xunfeng taking the emperor's pulse, and they all looked nervous.
After checking for a while, Xie Xunfeng shook his head from time to time.
After seeing this scene, everyone immediately asked, "Xie Jizi, what do you mean by shaking your head? Didn't you say that you definitely have a way to cure His Majesty?"
