"Eleventh brother wants to depose the orphan, why don't you send someone to tell him in advance?"
When the prince heard the sound of the drum, he naturally guessed what was going on, and came uninvited with his men. . Li Jun sent people to protect their safety, but did not restrict their access.
Li Hao snorted coldly and said, "You came at the right time. You are plotting to usurp the throne and are treasonous. I wonder what the third brother has to say?"
Li Hao chuckled and asked He said: "Eleventh brother wants to dethrone the orphan, but does it have the will of the emperor?"
"The emperor issued an order last night for me to put down the chaos and kill the rebels who disobeyed the rebels."
Li Wei took out the imperial edict from Emperor Yan Ping last night.
"Oh, I also have an imperial decree written by my father in my hand. How can I call it a conspiracy to usurp the throne?"
"That's a lie. You forced your father to write it."
"Isn't it the eleventh brother's?"
"You!"
The court officials vaguely understood. After reading some, I sighed that he was indeed Emperor Yan Ping. There were so many copies of the edict to pass the throne. Which one of them can be counted?
"Humph, even if this edict does not count, does the matter of Third Brother's rebellion just go away? Sirs, how do you think this matter should be handled?"
How to handle it? Who dares to speak? Do you think you have a long life? However, it seems that King Chen did not have the absolute upper hand, otherwise things would not be so stalemate.
Lu Wen'an said: "I'm afraid your Majesty still needs to make up his mind about this matter."
"But His Majesty is unconscious, so I'm afraid he can't handle this matter, right?"
"Your Majesty is delirious, and the prince is involved in rebellion. This country cannot be without a king for a day. Someone must take charge of the overall situation."
"Prince Chen is the daughter of the queen, and he is also a member of the middle palace. The legitimate son still has your Majesty’s imperial edict, so it is up to King Chen to take charge of the overall situation.”
“Otherwise, saying that the prince is rebellious is just a one-sided statement by King Chen. If His Majesty did not issue an edict to depose the prince, then it would be natural. It is up to the prince to take charge of the situation."
"Since both of you have said that you have the edict, you might as well open it and show it to your lords to prevent us from misunderstanding the holy meaning."
Someone asked to open the imperial edict. Others felt that this person was a bit unnecessary. After all, the edict was there, could it be fake?
Li Wei said: "Are you questioning the king's false edict?"
"I don't dare. I just want to ask the prince and King Chen to show the contents of the edict respectively for help. Let's make a judgment."
The prince asked calmly: "Who else wants to see the imperial edict?"
Five or six people appeared in an instant, and everyone looked at it. Then it became clear that these people were all recently promoted by Emperor Yan Ping, and they were considered to belong to Concubine Cheng's line.
Li Wei snorted coldly: "Come here, arrest these people, throw them into the prison, and ask where Cheng's hiding place is.". "
Those people were shocked and said one after another: "King Chen is excluding dissidents. The edict is false! "
Li Wei stabbed the man who shouted the loudest to death with a sword. The others did not dare to speak anymore when they saw this and allowed the guards to drag them away.
This hand Once again, everyone in the court was shocked. What happened today may be really difficult.
The prince calmly opened the edict in his hand and said: "This imperial edict was indeed written by the emperor himself, but it is true. The jade seal was stolen by the imperial concubine Cheng. The Cheng family and the Imperial Master Yu Qiuzi deceived the emperor and seduced his majesty, causing the dragon's body to suffer and the father to become unconscious. Now these villains have stolen the father's jade seal and are hiding among the people. The most urgent task now is to find it. Jade Seal, capture the Cheng family's traitors. As for the throne, Gu Xiang can wait until the Jade Seal is found. "
"There is no conflict between looking for the jade seal and deposing the prince. A country cannot be without a king for a day. Someone must take charge of the overall situation. Otherwise, what will the third brother do after getting the jade seal? "
The prince mocked: "Isn't it that the eleventh brother just wants to take over the power? Have you forgotten your seventh brother? Even if Gu is not the prince, the world should be left to the seventh brother. "
"Leave it to anyone, as long as it's not you. "

Lu Wen'an said: "Your Majesty should personally issue the decree to depose the prince. I would like to see your majesty before we discuss the dethronement of the prince. ”
“The prince’s rebellion is irrefutable, so why would Prime Minister Lu confuse right and wrong?” You know clearly that His Majesty is in trouble and cannot handle affairs, but you insist on asking His Majesty to issue orders. How dare you ask Prime Minister Lu to have anything to do with the Crown Prince? "
"You..."
"Xiang Lu is the father-in-law of the prince, so he will naturally turn towards the prince. I am afraid that Prime Minister Lu is also involved in this rebellion. ”
“Yes, Prime Minister Lu has a sensitive status, so his words will inevitably be unfair and his actions will be uncountable. "
The court was divided, each supporting his own prince, and no one was willing to accept the other. However, the prince's power was severely attacked by Emperor Yan Ping many times, and only one out of ten was gradually at a disadvantage. Still Some people have remained silent, obviously not siding with either the Crown Prince or King Chen.
"If we continue to argue like this, there will be no result. Why don't we ask the Queen to take charge of the situation?" "
"No, the Queen is the biological mother of King Chen, so it is inevitable to favor the Queen. It is better to ask King Qin to take charge of the overall situation. ”
The King of Qin is the most senior old man in the royal family, and his grandson Zongzheng Li Wei has never had any heirs. This lineage of the King of Qin has almost been cut off from blood inheritance, so there should be no "distractions".
< p> "King Qin is so old, can he still enter the court? ”“Then what do you think we should do?” "
The man was silent, and he was really confused at the moment.
After an hour, King Qin arrived at Weiyang Palace in a soft sedan.
" King of Qin. ”
Everyone bowed when they saw King Qin, even the prince and King Chen were no exception.
"Uncle great."
"Uncle great."
King Qin didn't look happy and just gave a cold hum.
"Would any of you tell me what happened?"
Everyone who was arguing just now was silent. Even the prince and King Chen did not dare to reply. He also didn’t want to be taken advantage of. After all, King Qin had lived so long and had enough experience.
"Hao'er, tell me, did you lead troops into the palace last night?"
"Yes."
"Confused! Your father You are so confused, are you confused too? How many of you can bear the crime of treason?"
"My great-grandson is guilty."
Li Kang took the opportunity and said: "Uncle great, the prince is rebellious and unworthy of the throne."
King Qin heard this and said angrily: "Do you really want to force him to death? Do you still remember that he is your brother? ?"
Li Wei protested: "It's not that the great-grandson is cold-blooded, but that the prince intends to kill the king and usurp the throne. This is a serious crime and cannot be favored."
King Qin naturally knew, and he asked the prince again. He said: "Hao'er, what are you going to do?"
Li Hao said: "My great-grandson knows that he is treasonous, so he is willing to give up his position as prince and obey his great-grandfather's wishes."
King Qin ordered Nodding, this is inevitable. It would be easy not to kill him.
"In this case, you will no longer be the prince from today on."
