Chapter 920 Adoption
King Ying's expression changed slightly when he heard the words, remembering the two imperial edicts he had given to Yan Wuge before, and vaguely guessed that Yan Wuge was afraid that he would not be justified enough, so he forged the edict to let him ascend the throne?

Yan Wuge ignored the reaction of these people, directly took out the two imperial decrees from his sleeves, walked to the high platform, and said solemnly: "All ministers listen to the decree."

The courtiers below hesitated for a while, then knelt down one after another.

Yan Wuge said in a low voice: "I have heard the words of the imperial physician, and my health is getting worse every day. I am afraid that it will be difficult to maintain order, and I am even more afraid of accidental death. I can't bear the chaos of the court without successors, so I leave an edict to inform the courtiers."

King Ying instantly felt something was wrong when he heard the imperial decree, but it was a pity that before he could speak, Yan Wuge said directly,

"Although there are princes under my knees, they don't enjoy any kindness and filial piety. Although they sit on the throne, they are not happy. All the princes have rebellious intentions, and they will do anything for power. Only the son of Dongshan King..."

Yan Wuge's voice cut off slightly, with a strange look on his face, but he continued to read to the courtiers all over the hall.

"Only the eldest son of Dongshan, Yancheng, is deep and humble, and he is talented and intelligent. He has the image of an emperor, and he should inherit the great line..."

"I want to take him under my knees as my own son. If I die, he will inherit the great cause and succeed the emperor."

After the imperial decree was read, all the courtiers in the hall were full of disbelief, and King Ying raised his head even more violently: "Impossible, the father still has his own son, how can it be possible to adopt someone else's son to inherit the ancestral business?!"

Yan Wuge was also a little confused at this moment, the content of the imperial decree was completely different from what he had said to Ah Jiu at the beginning, but the imperial decree was indeed handed over to him by Shen Junjiu.

Even though he was full of doubts in his heart, he didn't show it at all on his face.

Listening to King Ying's rebuttal, Yan Wuge raised his head and said in a low voice:
"The king of Dongshan is the son of the late emperor, and his majesty is a direct brother, and the son of the king of Dongshan is also a descendant of the royal family, and he has the blood of the Yan family in his body. How can he say that he is the son of someone else?"

"Your Majesty not only left an edict to pass on the throne, but also left a decree to adopt Yan Chengmin under his knees."

Yan Wuge said directly while speaking,

"You don't have to suspect that this king is cheating on the handwriting. If this king wants to take the throne, he can take it directly without resorting to such means."

"Wang Denian, Lin Sihai, both of you are the closest people to His Majesty. After serving him for many years, you can definitely tell that the seal on the imperial decree is authentic."

Both Wang Denian and Lin Sihai stepped forward, and Lin Sihai had already taken refuge with the Northern King, so naturally he would not refute, and after a glance, he said directly: "This is indeed His Majesty's handwriting, and it is complete with private seals and jade seals."

Wang Denian's heart jumped slightly, and when he looked at Lin Sihai, his eyes were extremely complicated.

He didn't know when his apprentice actually took refuge in the King of the North.

He has served Emperor Ming Qi for many years and is the closest servant around him. He knows better than anyone whether Emperor Ming Qi has left these two imperial edicts.

Wang Denian went forward to hold the imperial decree, and when he looked down, he recognized at a glance that the so-called imperial decree was not written by Emperor Ming Qi. Decree...

After Wang Denian saw clearly what was written above, he was instantly horrified.

It was clearly in King Ying's handwriting, but the content was actually that King Ying promised to adopt the northern prince as his son, and made him the heir to inherit the great cause.

He has seen King Ying's private seal, and he also knows King Ying's handwriting. It is all written by King Ying, and His Majesty's seal and jade seal are also stamped on it.
