Chapter 327 The Will of the Son of Heaven
His Highness King Wei put his hands in his sleeves, he took a deep breath, and then slowly said to Chen Ju: "Grandpa, I respect you very much, but at this time you should not hide your elder brother, otherwise people will die in the palace, many and many people will die."
From the perspective of His Highness the King of Wei, even if no one in the palace dies, the Crown Prince must die, because if the Crown Prince is not dead, his status is not right!
No matter where the prince goes to the ends of the world, he must die.
Chen Ju bent down respectfully and lowered his head and said, "I naturally know about this, but there is something that Your Highness saw, and he might calm his anger."
His Highness the King of Wei's face was indifferent.
Chen Ju turned around and entered the inner hall of Changle Palace. He held out a box made of sandalwood in his hand, and then bowed to His Highness the King of Wei and said, "Your Highness, this is the will of Emperor Daxing during his lifetime. His Majesty told him to open it after his grand ceremony."
There was no expression under the King of Wei’s Palace.
As he said that, he looked up at the King of Wei and lowered his head and said, "Your Highness, this box of things is crucial to whether you can sit firmly on the throne."
The King of Wei said in disguise: "Open."
"I 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 one is in Zhang Xiang's hands. Haoran Gong is now in Changle Palace, so please ask Your Highness to invite him over."
Originally, several prime ministers and civil and military officials were kneeling outside Changle Palace. When the Yulin Guards rushed in, they hid in Changle Palace.
King Wei took a deep breath and suppressed the impatientness in his heart.
"Grandpa, the imperial guards should be coming to the city. I don't have time to open a box with you here. If you don't tell me where my brother has gone, I will start a massacre!"
Chen Ju bent over and said, "After opening this box, Your Highness will no longer be afraid of the imperial guards."
His Highness the King of Wei looked at the old eunuch with confusion on his face.
He suspected that this old castrated man was using a delaying strategy to delay time and wait for the imperial guards to enter the palace.
Li Xin, who was behind the King of Wei, bowed and said, "Your Highness, will I take someone to find the prince?"
"Yeah, you go."
His Highness the King of Wei took a deep breath and instructed: "Brother Xin remember, kill him immediately after finding him!"
"yes."
The eunuch Chen Ju sighed quietly and said nothing.
At this point, there is no room for him to speak.
"Please call Haoran to come over and start the emperor's will."
The King of Wei waved his hand skeptically.
"Please come over."
A moment later, Zhang Qu, who was a little embarrassed, was pulled down by a Yulin Army. The Haoran Gong was slightly messy at this time. He tidied up his clothes before looking up at the King of Wei, then took a deep breath and sighed: "Your Highness the King of Wei is such a big deal."
The seventh prince lowered his head slightly: "Zhang Xiangjian laughed."
Chen Ju held the box in his hand and said to Zhang Qu: "Don't Haoran still remember this box?"
Zhang Qu nodded: "I remember."
Chen Ju said slowly: "On that day, Zhang Xiang saw the old slave put the will in the box and lock it up. His Majesty was also present at that time. Zhang Xiang should be able to prove that the will was true."
Haoran took out a purse from his sleeve, then took out a key from his purse, and bowed to His Highness King Wei and said, "I can prove it."
Chen Ju nodded.
"Okay, let's follow His Majesty's order and open this box."
His Highness the King of Wei frowned slightly.
He has grasped the overall situation now, but if this will is not good for him, he will be in a dilemma.
Chen Ju seemed to see through his thoughts and said, "Don't worry, your highness, although I don't know the content of the will, I can be sure that it is absolutely harmless to Your Majesty."
The King of Wei nodded indifferently.
"Open it."
The two keys were inserted into the keyhole at the same time, and with a crisp sound of mechanical stents, the large copper lock was opened.
Chen Ju trembled and unloaded the copper lock, then opened the box with his hands trembling.
In the box was a roll of apricot and yellow imperial edict with white jade as the axis.
The eunuch Chen Ju, when the last time he touched the imperial edict, was about to open the reading, His Highness the King of Wei reached out and held the imperial edict.
"Goodbye, my grandfather, I will take a look first, and I will read it again."
Chen Ju smiled relievedly: "Please give me your wish."
His Highness the King of Wei took the imperial edict and slowly unfolded in his hand.
After just a simple glance, his eyes showed joy and his breathing became much faster.
He put down the imperial edict, first knelt down and kowtowed three times in the direction of Emperor Chengde's coffin, and then said in a deep voice: "Grandpa, please read it."
Chen Ju held the imperial edict in both hands, walked to Zhang Qu, lowered his head and said, "Zhang Xiang can take a look."
Zhang Qu unveiled the imperial edict, glanced at it, and was silent for a long time.
“No problem.”
"The old slave started reading it."
His Highness the King of Wei, Zhang Qu, and everyone in Changle Palace knelt down respectfully.
Chen Ju held the imperial edict in his hand, then cleared his throat and started to recite.
"The imperial edict says: Although the eldest son of the emperor, Ji Ku, is the first heir of the royal family, has poor morals and a poor foundation. He also heard that he had done all kinds of evil things and was not famous. It is tantamount to his dynasty. It is tantamount to entrusting the tiger and wolf. I am uneasy and the people are uneasy. He is especially deposed as the crown prince."
Speaking of this, Chen Ju paused and continued.
"The emperor...the seventh son Ji Wen, with a harmonious temperament and kindness, is very kind to all the people, and is quite like me. Now he is appointed as the crown prince to show the merits of his ancestors and to show the virtues of the late emperor."
"The imperial edict was passed through the world, and all the envoys heard about it!"
After reading this, the edict has been finished.
The content of this edict is different from what Chen Ju thought about, because the part of the emperor's sons in the edict was blank!
You can fill in as you like!
Apart from this blank space, there is no problem in other places. This is a regular will.
In other words, 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 like now, he can inherit the throne openly.
His Highness King of Wei stood up from the ground, looked at Chen Ju, and then looked complicated.
He took the imperial edict with both hands and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"When this will be issued, people will think that this king will forge the edict."
Chen Ju lowered his head and said, "So Your Majesty called a great master like Haoran Gong as evidence."
Zhang Qu smiled bitterly and said, "This kind of great event cannot be proved by the reputation of the old minister."
His Highness King Wei was silent for a while, and suddenly smiled.
"Then please let Gong Haoran and I bear the infamy with you."
Chen Ju and Zhang Qu looked at each other, and the two knelt on the ground at the same time and kowtowed to the King of Wei.
"I've seen His Highness the Crown Prince."
