"Hmph! What everyone expected?! Show us the evidence!" The prince raised his chin proudly.
Xia Lishuang's face was cold. She didn't look at the prince, but turned around and knelt down towards the emperor.
"Father, when the eldest princess ransacked her house, my son unexpectedly saw the gold collar given to the eldest princess by the late emperor, and also read the edict in it."
"The name written on it is indeed my father's name! It's not someone else's!"
As soon as Xia Lishuang said these words, it was like throwing a pebble into a quiet lake, causing ripples in the silence.
The emperor's face was still gloomy, but as if he had grasped some hope, he suddenly looked at Xia Lishuang.
Xia Lishuang continued.
"Fifteen years after my father ascended the throne, he successively annexed the territory of Anguo, levied little taxes, established imperial examinations, established schools, and abolished mine fields. The people lived and worked in peace and contentment. There was no hunger or cold at dawn. He was admired by thousands of people, and he has become a wise king in the world."
"The sage has a saying that those who serve as kings are virtuous. My father is now wise and ruling, and the merits he has accomplished cannot be described in a single edict."
As soon as these words came out, many people in the court nodded in agreement.
Wen Changjin took the lead and said loudly.
"Your majesty is wise and should not let an imperial edict jeopardize your life!"
These words seemed to light a fuse, drawing out a chorus of agreement.
"Your Majesty is welcomed by everyone!"
"Your Majesty's sage rule! The merits will last forever!"
Wen Ranran stood up and raised her hands toward the palace.
"Your Majesty, the prince prepared a false edict with the intention of treason, which is an unforgivable crime! Please ask your majesty to judge!"
"Please ask for your Majesty's Holy Judgment!"
All the ministers knelt down one after another.
Han Chun, the censor doctor, looked extremely ugly at the moment, but seeing everyone around him kneeling down, it seemed that it was not a problem for him to stand, so he had no choice but to kneel down.
The emperor closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were full of rage.
The prince laughed wildly.
"Hahahahahahahahaha Father, you are so naive! Wang Shujun is seriously ill, the Royal Forest Army is now leaderless, and Feiyunqi is all under my control. I want to see if you pedantic civil servants can leave today.
Tai Chi Hall!"
In his words, he actually wanted to force him into the palace!
Behind him, the rebel Li Chang, who was temporarily the commander of Feiyun Cavalry, held a long sword and shouted angrily.
"Feiyunqi belongs to me! Come on!"
"Let me see who dares?!"
The emperor roared angrily, which calmed the soldiers who were about to move.
During the stalemate, a burst of fighting suddenly came from the palace gate.
The two leaders, one holding a long sword and the other holding an axe, came astride the horse. Wherever they went, blood was splashed three feet away.
It was Feng Cheng and Wang Shujun.
"Your Majesty! I'm waiting for help to arrive too late! Your Majesty, please atone for your sins!"
The emperor's eyes brightened and he shouted loudly.
"The prince's rebellion shall be punished! Guardsmen, capture it for me!"
"According to the order!"
The prince was suddenly startled and took two steps back, in disbelief.
"You, you, you... Feng Cheng?! Wang Shujun! How could you..."
Feng Cheng snorted coldly and struck Li Chang across from him, and the two quickly started fighting.
"Huh! You're just a young man trying his best! I, Feiyunqi, have always been loyal to Your Majesty, and it's not your turn to take command yet!"
The ax in Feng Cheng's hand opened and closed widely, and the tiger and the tiger made the wind.
Li Chang's Kung Fu is just fancy tricks, nothing compared to Feng Cheng's solid skills.
Within a moment, he was knocked off his horse.
On the side, Feiyunqi deputy generals Cheng Hong and Fu Guan laughed loudly.
"General Feng is here. If he doesn't come again! We will all be tortured to death by Li Chang!"
Feiyunqi, who was originally at war with each other, quickly switched sides and targeted the prince!
But in an instant, the situation of victory and defeat suddenly reversed, and Li Yuan and Li Chang were all killed.
The prince's eyes widened and he was held between the swords. He seemed unable to accept the changes in front of him. His hair was disheveled and he looked crazy.
"Feiyunqi! You... I am the one destined by destiny! I have an imperial edict! You are treason!"
"Hmph, you'd better say these words to His Majesty!"
Feng Cheng kicked the prince on the shoulder, and the surrounding soldiers rushed forward and quickly subdued the prince.
In the court hall, a group of civil servants had never seen such a formation before. Their faces were earth-colored, their bodies were trembling, and their lips and teeth were pale.
Wen Ranran stood among the ministers, still feeling something was wrong.
She knew that the prince was rebellious, but...where did he get the edict?
If the edict in the prince's hand must be fake, then... where is it really?
