Concubine Agent: My lord, stop pretending

Chapter 455 Succession, willing to give up

Ye Hao just looked at Ye Huan fixedly, without any movement, his eyes were full of hatred and unwillingness.Over the years, the emperor has never liked Ye Huan, but in the end, it turned out to be like this.He had always known that his father was eccentric, and originally because Ye Jing was a fool, he didn't care about it, but he didn't expect that everything was an illusion.

Ye Hao's eyes moved down slowly, and landed on the imperial edict in Ye Huan's hand, a smile gradually emerged, and he said, "Fifth brother, read it first, maybe after the fifth brother finishes reading, mine won't be important."

Ye Huan looked at Ye Hao's expression, feeling a little strange in his heart.It stands to reason that this is not Ye Hao's style. He is not the kind of person who is good at hiding his thoughts. How could he be so calm at this moment?
Ye Huan didn't answer, but just looked directly at Ye Hao, and the eyes of the two met, revealing an indescribable meaning of needlepoint.

Seeing that the two were deadlocked in silence, King Ding stepped forward to salute Ye Huan respectfully, and then said: "Please also ask the fifth prince to give the imperial edict to this king for the time being, so that I can read it out."

Ye Huan nodded, and handed the imperial edict to King Ding: "Thank you, Uncle Wang."

King Ding took it respectfully, then walked up the steps, glanced at the crowd, waited for everyone to kneel down, unfolded the imperial edict, and began to read it aloud.

The night was gradually sinking, the moonlight was soft, the cold wind was blowing on people's bodies, exuding a kind of lonely coldness, at some point, snowflakes drifted down, adding a bit of sadness to this cold night.

As the palace lanterns were raised, King Ding had finished reading the imperial edict.

As everyone guessed, the first emperor passed the throne to Ye Huan.

"My minister bows to His Majesty the new emperor, long live my emperor!" King Ding first bowed to Ye Huan, raised his arms, and all the ministers who supported Ye Huan knelt down to salute.

More than half of the people did not salute Ye Huan, but looked at their respective masters.

Ye Jing's eyes moved slightly, and he was a little surprised by the result.At the beginning, Emperor Hui asked him to promise that he would not help Ye Huan seize the throne, but today he left an imperial edict to pass on the throne. What does it mean?
"Don't you hurry to see the new emperor?" Ding Wang looked at the crowd and asked.

Marquis Rong Wu supported Ye Hao. He glanced at Ye Hao, then stood up, and said: "The crown prince is the crown prince. Since the previous emperor never abolished the crown prince, it is natural that the crown prince should succeed him. How can he change the throne with just one edict?" Establish a new emperor?"

King Ding also stood up, looked at Rong Wuhou, and said, "What does Rong Wuhou mean by this? Could it be that he wants to resist the order?"

Marquis Rong Wu glanced at Ye Huan, smiled coldly, and said, "Of course I dare not resist the decree, but I don't know if the imperial decree in the hands of the Fifth Prince has been dropped or not!"

"You!" King Ding was not good at eloquence, at this time, facing Rong Wuhou, who seldom spoke on weekdays, but today's sharp words, it was difficult to confront him for a while.

Shao Yang stepped forward, looked at Rong Wuhou, and said: "Master Rong is worried about whether the imperial edict in the hands of the fifth prince is true or not, but the imperial edict in the hands of His Royal Highness must be true, so it is better to let His Royal Highness also Read it!"

Everyone's eyes were attracted by Ye Hao, and there was inevitably a lot of discussion.

Ye Hao's face gradually darkened, the imperial decree in his hand became tighter and tighter, and his mind was spinning.Shao Yang is the most capable person under Ye Huan's hands, both in mind and ability, he is a rare talent.

Shaoyang's meaning is very simple, if Yehuan's imperial decree is true, then in his hand, it must be a decree to abolish the crown prince, because the emperor cannot leave two succession imperial decrees, otherwise Yutian will become the laughing stock of the world.

"His Royal Highness, read the edict in your hand to everyone!" A neutral official bravely spoke first, and then someone echoed.

"Yeah, read it out, so everyone can judge!"

Ye Hao's expression froze, and he sneered in his heart as he looked at the officials in front of him who talked to each other.

Empress Shen is the closest to Ye Hao, and she knows her son well, this decree must not be the imperial decree of succession.Could it be that her hard work over the years is really going to be lost overnight on this night?

"Since you are all so curious, please trouble King Ding to read it!" Ye Hao said suddenly, and gave the imperial decree to King Ding. Such a move undoubtedly made more people curious.

King Ding was also slightly taken aback, then took it respectfully, and read it aloud just like before.

With the landing of the word "Qin this", everyone discussed again.

"Conferring the crown prince as King Kang? Doesn't that mean abolishing the crown prince?"

"It turns out that the fifth prince's decree is true!"

"Now that the truth is out, you still haven't seen the new emperor?" Ding Wang straightened his back proudly, his sharp eyes swept across the crowd, his voice was thick and resounding.

Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and then looked at a few high-ranking people, and then slowly knelt down, ready to bow to the new emperor.

Ye Mohua walked to Ye Jing's side, pushed him lightly, and said in a low voice, "It seems that someone has taken this position, do you still want to fight?"

"It's for you to fight for it." Ye Jing gave him a sideways glance, "Since this is the emperor's decision, why should I bother? Besides, Ye Huan is more suitable to be the emperor than you and me."

Ye Mohua raised his eyebrows, but did not speak.It is undeniable that compared to him and Ye Jing, Ye Huan is indeed more suitable to be an emperor, but Ye Hao gave up so willingly?
"Hao'er..." Empress Shen watched her son's position being taken away, how could she be reconciled?But when she wanted to say something, she was stopped by Ye Hao's eyes.

"Queen, don't worry." Ye Hao smiled slightly, signaling Empress Shen to be at ease.

Empress Shen was full of doubts, but she also knew that this was not the time to ask, so she glanced at Shen Lanfeng and saw that he was also calm, so she couldn't help but feel relieved.

"Your servants will pay their respects to the new emperor, long live my emperor!" Everyone knelt down and paid homage to the new emperor.

"My lords, please stand up." Ye Huan raised his hand, and his demeanor was full of the demeanor of a monarch. "The most urgent thing now is to arrange the funeral of the late emperor. As for the succession, it will be three days later!"

"The emperor is wise!" Everyone kowtowed and shouted in unison.

When the first emperor dies, the new emperor will succeed immediately, this is Yutian's rule.The new Emperor Yehuan postponed the grand ceremony for three days, and all the officials were surprised.

In this salute, apart from Empress Shen who has been promoted to empress dowager, Ye Jing and Ye Mohua both knelt down, but there was only one person standing there motionless, and it was Ye Hao who had been named King Kang .

"King Kang, why don't you pay homage to the new emperor?" King Ding looked at Ye Hao and asked with a frown.

Ye Hao smiled slightly, and said, "I have one more question, I want to ask you a little bit more clearly, and then I will pay my respects, it's not too late."

King Ding felt a little uncomfortable, but he could only ask: "What?" Now he and Ye Hao are no longer the relationship between monarchs and ministers, they are both princes, and his seniority is in place, so his words are a little less polite .

Ye Hao's smile narrowed, his eyes swept over the crowd, and finally fell on the officials and historians of the Ministry of Rites, and asked slowly: "My lords, if the successor is not my descendant of the Ye family, can he become the master of Yutian? "
