After Jiao Didi escaped from the outer room, the prince went crazy

This sentence immediately blocked Fang Shangshu's mouth. Jiang Yunsong was right. He could come so early today only because he had placed his own people beside His Majesty in the palace.

Otherwise, he would have gotten the news if something happened to His Majesty.

He lowered his head, his eyes cold, but he got the news too late, otherwise he should have known everything when His Majesty was just imprisoned by Song Yanxing.

But he was still kept in the dark. If not, he wouldn't be in this passive situation now.

His expression was complicated. In the final analysis, Song Yanxing was so skillful that His Majesty didn't notice it. He actually knew about it and covered his ears.

I have to admit that Song Yanxing is indeed much better than Song Yanliang, but after all, he is not a bloodline of their Fang family.

He once lost to Chen Shoufu, but now his grandson must not lose to that man's grandson. Fang Shangshu looked at the closed door with a complicated expression. No matter what, he must send Song Yanliang to that position.

At this moment, the closed door opened, Eunuch Sun came out, holding the imperial edict in his hand, and everyone knelt on the ground.

"The six sons of the Crown Prince, Yan Xing, are of noble character and deeply respected by me. They will be able to inherit the throne and succeed me to the throne, that is, the throne of emperor."

As Eunuch Sun's voice fell, everyone finally realized that the ninth-five supreme position now belonged to His Highness the Crown Prince.

At this moment, Song Yanxing walked out slowly. He was wearing black clothes with gold trim and a gold crown on his head. He had a beautiful face and a tall figure. He showed the status of a king, exuding majesty and nobility.

Everyone subconsciously saluted him and shouted loudly, "I am here to see your majesty, long live your majesty, long live your majesty -"

Song Yanxing's eyes were cold and stern, slightly sarcastic. After a while, his cold voice slowly sounded, "Ping Shen——"

"Thank you, Your Majesty—" Everyone stood up one after another.

Fang Shangshu winked at the person behind him. The person hesitated for a while before speaking, and asked, "Now that His Majesty has ascended the throne, what should Prince Rui do?"

Song Yanxing sneered, but did not look at him. Instead, he turned to look at Fang Shangshu and said calmly, "I will give Prince Rui a fiefdom. Although my father has said that this rebellion is unforgivable, but after all Prince Rui is mine. My brother, naturally I can’t watch him make mistakes again and again.”

At this moment, Prime Minister Liu said, "Your Majesty's kindness is a blessing to me in Dongling."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Shangshu glared fiercely at the minister next to him.

The latter lowered his head in horror, obviously scared, but after waiting for a while, he still raised his head firmly and asked slowly, "As far as I know, the late emperor always treated Prince Rui the best among all the princes during his lifetime. "

"How could you attack Prince Rui now? Please give your Majesty a clear warning."

At this moment, hesitant voices like his broke out from the crowd. There were inevitably some royalists among these people. It didn't matter who ascended the throne to them, but this person must be a legitimate successor to the throne, not a usurper. .

Song Yanxing's face at this time did not have the panic that Fang Shangshu wanted to see, but looked calm.

He turned his head and looked at Eunuch Sun and slowly said, "Eunuch Sun, could you please take out the imperial edict that His Majesty left." "Yes -"

After a while, Eunuch Sun came out with a secret edict in his hand, which he opened in front of everyone, "By the fate of heaven, the emperor Zhao said, my fifth son is extremely ambitious, and his heart should be punished. Heaven cannot tolerate it, and he should be demoted to a commoner. You will never be able to return to Beijing."

No one expected that this would be the final result. The people of the Five Princes Party were inevitably a little panicked. If he was demoted to a commoner, there would be no chance of him standing up. What would happen to those of them who were on the wrong team?

At this time, the person who had just asked the question was also a little panicked.

Fang Shangshu pointedly said at this time, "Eunuch Sun, falsely preaching the imperial edict is a capital crime. Although the late emperor is not here now, we loyal ministers are still alive."

Eunuch Sun, who was not a vegetarian, sneered and said, "Fang Shangshu, your words are a bit serious. Even if you give our family ten courages, this old slave will not dare to do this thing of pretending to spread the imperial edict."

Having said that, there was still a lot of suspicion among the crowd because of Fang Shangshu's words.

Prime Minister Liu, who knew everything from beginning to end, found the scene in front of him a bit ridiculous. He thought it was such a scene when the late emperor ascended the throne.

At that time, he was just a nobody, standing at the bottom, and the ministers also questioned the imperial edict.

The late emperor used iron-blooded means to shut up those thorns forever. Prime Minister Liu turned to look at Song Yanxing with a playful smile on his lips. He wanted to see what kind of methods this "Your Majesty" would use.

"Since everyone doubts the authenticity of this imperial decree, Eunuch Sun, let them have a look." Song Yanxing looked calm, and his panic was not visible at all. But the more he acted like this, the more the ministers suspected that they were wrong.

The imperial edict was circulated by Eunuch Sun, and everyone read it several times. There was indeed nothing wrong with it, and it was also stamped with a jade seal.

But at this moment, Fang Shangshu, who was holding the imperial edict in his hand, noticed something was wrong. The late emperor always liked to pause when using his pen. This was something he discovered accidentally.

But although the handwriting of the imperial edict in front of me was exactly the same as that of the late emperor, the person imitating it didn't seem to know this little habit of the late emperor.

The corners of Fang Shangshu's lips were slightly raised. He had been waiting for this moment. He raised the imperial edict high and said, "When you read the memorials reviewed by the late emperor, have you noticed that the late emperor always liked to pause when writing, but in the imperial edict? But I don’t have this habit, why do you think this is?”

"The imperial edict was written by someone imitating the late emperor's notes. It was not written by the late emperor." Someone soon realized it.

At this point, if this imperial edict was really copied by someone, it would not be difficult to guess who did it. After all, everything points to Song Yanxing.

Prince Rui fell, and he no longer had any competitors.

Song Yanxing did not panic at all when faced with everyone's doubts. He chuckled lightly, "When my father wrote this imperial edict, his body was no longer cheerful. It is understandable that he was different from his past habits."

As he said this, he laughed self-deprecatingly, "I know that Fang Shangshu is Fifth Brother's grandfather, so naturally I can't bear to see Fifth Brother in trouble, but I have already opened the door to you, so why should Fang Shangshu press hard?"

"Your Majesty's words are wrong. I never want to force each other hard. Everything I did is for the late emperor. If the late emperor is alive in heaven, he definitely doesn't want brothers to kill each other." Fang Shangshu squeezed out his words from the corner of his eyes as he spoke. A tear.
