Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 319 The Will of the Son of Heaven

His Royal Highness Prince Wei folded his hands in his sleeves, he took a deep breath, and then slowly said to Chen Ju: "Grand Duke, this king respects you very much, but at this time you should not cover up the elder brother, otherwise the palace will Dead people, many, many people will die.”

   From the perspective of His Royal Highness King Wei, even if no one in the palace dies, His Highness the Crown Prince must die, because if the Crown Prince does not die, his status is not right!

   No matter if the prince goes to the ends of the earth, he must die.

  Chen Ju bowed his head respectfully and said, "Old slave naturally knows about this, but there is one thing, His Royal Highness, looking at it, may quell his anger."

   His Royal Highness King Wei looked indifferent.

Chen Ju turned around and entered the inner hall of Changle Palace, holding a box made of sandalwood in his hand, and then bowed to His Royal Highness King Wei: "Your Highness, this is the will of Emperor Daxing during his lifetime. , At that time, His Majesty instructed to open it after his big trip."

  There was no expression in the hall of King Wei.

   After saying that, he looked up at King Wei and lowered his head: "Your Highness, this box of things is very important to whether you can secure your throne."

   King Wei said indifferently: "Open."

   "The old slave can't open it alone."

  Chen Ju pointed to the copper lock on the box and said, "This lock requires two keys to open. The other is in Zhang Zhang's hands. Gong Haoran is also in Changle Palace. Please invite your Highness to invite him here."

   Originally, several prime ministers and civil and military officials were kneeling outside Changle Palace. When Yu Linwei came in, they hid in Changle Palace.

   King Wei took a deep breath and suppressed the impatience in his heart.

   "Grand Duke, the forbidden army should be entering the city. This king has no time to open a box with you here. If you don't tell me where the elder brother went, this king will kill him!"

  Chen Ju bent over and said, "Opening this box, Your Highness will no longer be afraid of the Imperial Army."

   His Royal Highness King Wei looked at the old **** with a puzzled face.

   He suspected that the old **** was using a tactic to delay the time, waiting for the forbidden army to enter the palace.

   Li Xin, who was behind King Wei, bowed and said, "Your Highness, shall I lead someone to find the prince?"

   "Well, you go."

   His Royal Highness King Wei took a deep breath and instructed, "Brother Xin, remember, and kill him immediately after he finds it!"

"Yes."

  The **** Chen Ju sighed faintly and said nothing.

   Up to now, there is no room for him to speak.

   "Your Highness, please call Haoran Gong over to open the Emperor Daxing's will."

   King Wei waved his hand suspiciously.

   "Please come over with Zhang Xiang."

After a while, Zhang Qu, who was a little embarrassed, was pulled down by a Yulin army to the front of King Wei's palace. At this time, this Duke Haoran's hair was a little messy. After finishing his clothes, he looked up at King Wei and took a deep breath. With a sigh, he sighed, "His Royal Highness King Wei is very generous."

  The seventh prince bowed his head slightly: "Zhang Xiang smiled."

  Chen Ju held the box in his hand and said to Zhang Qu, "Could Master Haoran still remember this box?"

   Zhang Qu nodded: "I remember."

  Chen Ju said slowly: "On that day, Zhang blindly saw the old slave put the will in the box and locked it up. His Majesty was also present at the time, Zhang Xiang should be able to prove the truth of the will."

  Kong Haoran took out a purse from his sleeve, then took out a key from the purse, bowed his head to His Royal Highness King Wei and said, "This old man can prove it."

  Chen Ju nodded.

   "Alright then, we will follow His Majesty's order and open this box."

   His Royal Highness King Wei frowned slightly.

   He has the big picture now, but if this widow goes against him, he will be in a dilemma.

  Chen Ju seemed to see through his mind and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, although this old slave doesn't know the content of the will, I can be sure that it is absolutely harmless to Your Highness."

   King Wei nodded indifferently.

"open it."

  Two keys were inserted into the keyhole at the same time, and with a crisp sound, the large copper lock was opened.

  Chen Ju shook off the copper lock, and then opened the box with trembling hands.

  In the box is a roll of apricot-yellow imperial decree with white jade as the axis.

   Chen Ju, the eunuch, touched the imperial decree for the last time, and when he was about to open it and read it, His Royal Highness King Wei reached out and held down the imperial decree.

   "Excuse me, Grand Duke, I want to take a look first, Grand Duke will read it later."

  Chen Ju smiled relieved: "Your Highness, please."

   His Royal Highness King Wei took the imperial decree and slowly unfolded it in his hand.

   After just a brief glance, his eyes showed joy, and his breathing was a lot faster.

   He put down the imperial decree, first knelt down and kowtowed three times in the direction of the coffin of the emperor of Chengde, and then said solemnly: "Grand Duke, read it."

  Chen Ju held this imperial decree in both hands, walked to Zhang Qu, lowered his head and said, "Zhang Xiang also take a look."

   Zhang Qu unfolded the imperial decree, glanced at it, and was silent for a long time.

"no problem."

   "Then the old slave began to read."

   His Royal Highness King Wei, Zhang Qu, and everyone in the Changle Palace kneeled down respectfully,

  Chen Ju held the imperial decree in his hand, then cleared his throat and read.

"The imperial edict said: Although the eldest son of the emperor, Ji Kuo, is the first heir of the clan, his virtue is not good, his foundation is not strong, and he has been known to do all kinds of evil things and has a notorious reputation. My heart is uneasy, and the people are also uneasy, and I depose him as the heir."

   Having said that, Chen Ju continued after a pause.

   "Emperor... Seventh son Ji Wen, with a docile temperament, benevolent and sympathetic to the people, quite respectful of my bow, and now established as a crown prince, to show the merits of the ancestors and the virtues of the previous emperors."

   "Go through the world, Xian envoys hear it!"

   After reading this, this edict is finished.

   The content of this edict is different from what Chen Ju said, because the part of the imperial family in the edict is blank!

   Feel free to fill in!

   Except for this blank, there is no problem in other places, this is a well-behaved edict.

   That is to say, whether it is the seventh prince, the third prince, or the fourth prince, as long as he has the ability to do what His Highness King Wei is now, he can inherit the throne with integrity.

   His Royal Highness King Wei stood up from the ground, glanced at Chen Ju, and then looked complicated.

   He took the imperial decree with both hands, and then heaved a sigh of relief.

   "When this edict is sent out, the world will also think that this king is correcting the edict."

  Chen Ju lowered his head and said, "That's why His Majesty called a great master like Duke Haoran as proof."

   Zhang Qu said with a wry smile: "This kind of big event, with the reputation of the old minister, I'm afraid it can't be proved."

   His Royal Highness King Wei was silent for a while, then suddenly smiled.

   "Then please ask Haoran Gong and this king to bear the infamy."

  Chen Ju and Zhang Qu looked at each other, and they both knelt on the ground at the same time and kowtowed to King Wei.

   "I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince."

   "The old slave has seen His Royal Highness..."
