Several princes who were friends with the fourth prince said, "Brother, such a big thing? Father, how can you use oral instructions? You can't even issue an edict?"
"Yes, brother, my father is in good health. I saw him well yesterday, but why did he fall ill today? You are not trying to do something fishy. How could there be no edict for such a big matter?"
"Brothers, if you have any objections, you can go to see your father and ask him! If you make noises in the court, don't blame me for turning my back and exercising my father's rights." Xiao Wenyan said with a stern expression.
Xiao Wenyan just finished speaking.
Wu Danian walked straight out and said, "Everyone has heard that His Majesty wants to appoint the eldest prince as the crown prince. Now that His Majesty is in poor health, what is wrong with letting the eldest prince act as an agent of the government? I think you are deliberately trying to find trouble... I
I know that you are on good terms with the Fourth Prince. However, the Fourth Prince committed a heinous crime on his own! If you can’t understand the situation and you are stirring up chaos, I will let you all be thrown into the sky prison together. Go accompany your Fourth Prince.”
As soon as Wu Danian's words came out, he immediately attracted the support of the members of Wu Danian's faction.
Several princes are talking carefully.
However, he can also see the situation clearly.
They are not talking either.
Seeing that several princes stopped talking, the courtiers naturally stopped talking too.
"Okay, in that case..."
"First Prince, I don't think it's appropriate!" As he spoke, a slightly younger official walked out from the side of the court.
"Who are you?"
The young official raised his hands and said, "My Excellency, the Minister of Civil Affairs, Liu Yi! The eldest prince, there is no precedent for a prince to act as an agent in the government since ancient times! Therefore, even though you are the eldest son..."
Before Liu Yi could finish speaking, Xiao Wenyan slammed the table and shouted, "Your Highness is the Crown Prince!"
However, Liu Yi did not back down at all. Instead, he went a step further and said, "How can he be a prince if he has not been enthroned or worshiped to heaven? Moreover, only when the emperor is critically ill, or contracted a serious illness, or goes on an expedition, can the prince be used to act as an agent of the government."
. Now, Your Majesty is just caught in the cold, so why do you need the eldest prince to come out in such a hurry?"
Xiao Wenyan looked at Liu Yi and frowned and said, "Humph, Liu Yi, right? From today on, you are no longer the Minister of Civil Affairs. You will be thrown into the sky prison!"
"Which law of Daxia did you follow to send me to the heavenly prison?" Liu Yi was not afraid at all. Instead, he took a step forward and said.
Xiao Wenyan looked at Liu Yi and said, "His Majesty has spoken! Come and throw him into the sky prison..."
The imperial troops soon appeared and took Liu Yi away.
"First Prince, you have neither an edict nor a registration. You are acting as an agent of the government, which is against the government's principles! In my opinion, you want to steal the country!" Liu Yi shouted loudly before leaving.
After hearing this, Xiao Wenyan showed a ruthless look on his face, "Your Majesty, I have been ordered by His Majesty! That guy seems to be a comrade of the Fourth Prince, and he is talking nonsense... Does anyone else have any objections? I think he is a comrade of the Fourth Prince."
party!"
Xiao Wenyan saw many ministers who still seemed to have opinions. He looked at Yan Song and asked in an inquisitive manner, "Master Yan, what do you think?"
Yan Song raised his hands and said, "Since it is His Majesty's command, all the old ministers will obey it! I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."
After Yan Song said it.
Wu Danian quickly followed suit and saluted.
Although some ministers were surprised by Yan Song's words.
However, he didn't speak.
Xiao Wenyan naturally memorized these ministers.
After resigning from the court, Xiao Wenyan originally wanted to replace the imperial army.
But what he didn't expect was that the emperor asked the commander of the imperial army to be handed over to him.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Xiao Wenyan only added a hundred people to the Forbidden Army.
These one hundred people are naturally his dead soldiers.
These one hundred dead soldiers were arranged directly around the Emperor's Yangxin Palace.
...
The next day, there was a lot of excitement in Kunning Palace.
Everyone was in a very good mood.
There is no other reason.
Because they had already inquired, the emperor's cold was getting worse and worse.
The palace's imperial guards were also under their control.
Above the court, the situation can be considered under control.
Now all we have to do is wait until the emperor dies and he ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor.,
Moreover, hundreds of thousands of troops who dare to come from all directions will reach the outside of Longyang City in four days.
As soon as the army arrives, the throne will be confirmed.
This was something they would never have dared to think about a few days ago.
"Young master, I would like to toast you with this glass of wine... Without you, this would not have gone so smoothly. I will never forget your friendship. After His Highness ascends the throne, you will all be the ones who deserve the most credit."
Meritorious minister." Xiao Wenyan said boldly, holding up a wine glass, and then drank it all in one gulp.
Fu Gan smiled and said, "Hahaha, in fact, everything is thanks to Huangfu Qiu. If he hadn't asked those two fools Xie Hanzi and Guan Chong to instigate the fourth prince, the fourth prince would not have held this boudoir party. If it hadn't been for these boudoir gatherings
Invite the most powerful family members in the entire Great Xia. If we kill them all, how can we let them put pressure on His Majesty... Therefore, I still respect the emperor! Thank you for the fool, and respect the idiot."
"Hahaha, that's right. I respect the emperor's hatred, thank you for being stupid, and respect fools..." Yuan Yuan said with a smile.
Everyone drank it up happily.
"Brother Imperial, can you send some imperial troops to me!" Xiao Nalan said slightly excitedly from the side.
"Do you want to go to the Ancestral Temple?" Xiao Wenyan naturally knew what Xiao Nalan wanted to do.
Xiao Nalan said bitterly, "That's right, brother Huang... I can't wait to peel off her skin and drink her blood..."
Xiao Wenyan nodded and said, "Okay, go ahead. But just take the person away... Just don't touch that old woman, the Queen Mother."
Xiao Nalan nodded and said, "Brother, don't worry."
Xiao Nalan said and had no intention of eating anymore.
He led a few imperial troops and rushed towards the Ancestral Temple.
...
At this time, the Yangxin Hall was also very lively.
Xie Xunfeng, Guan Chong, and the four princes were all among them.
Next to them, it was Fire Wind, the commander of the Forbidden Army.
Huo Feng was ordered by the emperor to lurk beside Xiao Wenyan.
Huofeng helped Xiao Wenyan arrest people and obeyed Xiao Wenyan's words.
They all gathered around the emperor at this time.
Originally, they didn't want to take action so soon.
But, unfortunately, the emperor's poison developed too quickly.
If the delay continues, the emperor will really easily die.
Xie Xunfeng originally gave him an antidote, but the emperor did not take it at first in order to make the acting realistic.
When I tried to take it, it had no effect.
Seeing that the emperor was about to die, Huofeng had no choice but to tie up all the dead soldiers here quietly.
He sneaked into the prison overnight and brought several of them over.
Everyone looked nervous as they looked at Xie Xunfeng taking the emperor's pulse.
After Xie Xunfeng inspected it for a while, he shook his head from time to time.
After everyone saw this scene, they immediately asked, "Xie Zhizi, what do you mean by shaking your head? Didn't you say that you definitely have a way to cure His Majesty?"
