Chapter 707 Three in One(1/2)
The concubine's son Gaomen 91
Fake!
It must be fake!
This imperial edict must be false!
No matter how confused the emperor is, he will never pass the throne to a woman. But if this woman is Princess Yunyin, she is the emperor's only biological daughter, and her husband is a royal family. No matter what, if she gives birth to a child in the future, it will be the root of the Jin family, and the country will not be considered a change of surnames. But he passed it to his concubines! Gan said that she was a concubine, but after all, she was a concubine! Not to mention the world inherited by the royal family, even the rich man in the countryside could not hand over the family business to his concubine.
Nonsense!
This is just nonsense!
Prince Yu was holding the imperial edict in his hand, and he was completely confused. He didn't know how he recited the imperial edict. He didn't realize what he had just recited. Looking at the stunned faces below, his hand holding the imperial edict became even more powerful. He looked at the imperial edict over and over again in disbelief, yes! What he said above was indeed Gan!
He was completely panicked. How could this be? Why did the decree for the little prince change? If he really passed the country on to the Gan family, he would be the sinner of the Jin family. How could he do this? He announced the decree in public! He looked around and looked in his eyes, and there was a voice in his mind: This decree cannot be left! This decree cannot be left!
Immediately afterwards, Prince Yu ran into the inside with his legs and feet. Through the screen, there were tablets of the Jin family ancestors. He ran anxiously, and his arm hit the screen. The screen suddenly fell down and made a loud noise. Before everyone could react, he saw Prince Yu, who had been hit, climbed up with difficulty, holding the imperial edict in his hand and leaned over to the huge burning candle. In Fengxian Hall, incense candles are naturally a common thing. At this moment, on the candlestick beside the tablet, there was a white candle thicker than the baby's arm, and the candle fire was strong. Once the silk imperial edict was caught in the fire, it would turn into ashes in an instant.
So many people watched Prince Yu's actions, but no one stopped him.
Lin Yutong glanced at Gan, and saw that Gan was still in a daze, as if he was very confused, and he never saw Prince Yu's every move. Seeing that she was not worried, Lin Yutong said nothing and quietly watched the situation.
Prince Yu held the imperial edict in his hand and was about to get up to the fire. He was about to come to the front. The little eunuch standing next to the candle fire blew a sudden breath, and the candle fire was extinguished.
The little eunuch quickly knelt down and shook, as if he was very scared. When everyone saw this, no one would think too much. Prince Yu's hand was an imperial edict after all. If the imperial edict was burned, the little eunuch who cared for the candlelight would not survive. He was closest to Prince Yu, but he did not dare to rob the imperial eunuch from Prince Yu. The only way was to remove the firewood from the cauldron. This would be considered smart. No one in the hall wanted to see a smart eunuch who happened to appear at this time.
Prince Yu was still holding his hand, but the fire had already been extinguished. His whole body seemed to have been drained, and he immediately collapsed on the ground, "God's will... Is it true that it is God's will..." As he said that, he lay on the ground and howled, "Ancestors! Open your eyes and see... Open your eyes and see... Someone wants to give the country that the ancestors have worked hard to build, and the country that they guarded will be handed over to others..."
Before the howling was finished, Prince Ying stood up with a pale face, "That imperial edict... is fake! It must be fake! How could His Majesty be so confused?"
Prince An looked at Prince Ying, but his face was not relaxed. He didn't know whether the imperial edict was true or false, but if Prince Yu was so disobedient, it proved that he did not show any inappropriate place in the imperial edict except for the content. He looked at Concubine Chen, but saw Concubine Chen still kneeling in place, seemingly turning a blind eye to everything around him. Could it be that she really didn't know in advance? Such thoughts flashed in her heart and then denied it. Although she didn't know how she did this, it was obvious that the role she played in the middle was definitely not innocent.
With this flash of magic, Prince Ying had already rushed over, picked up the imperial edict, and looked carefully. He muttered: "This is fake! It must be fake! I will definitely find the flaw."
But Gan slowly stood up and said in a gentle tone: "Since you want to see, everyone will take turns to see if this imperial edict is true or false?"
Everyone looked at the imperial edict in Prince Ying's hand and then at Gan's family. They really didn't know how to answer this.
"Writings! Look at the handwriting... Yes, look at the handwriting first..." Prince Ying looked at Guo Chang and several ministers huddled behind, "You are the ones who have seen the most imperial pens and red scribblings. Come and see if this was written by His Majesty himself?"
Guo Changhe was unwilling to get involved. He was very confused at this moment. He pursed his lips and turned to look at the Minister of Revenue, "Go and take a few points for the memorial that His Majesty personally wrote and asked the princes to compare."
"This is right!" Someone in the crowd shouted, "Get more points." Instead of listening to other people's identification, it is more credible to compare yourself. People have tendencies, but their handwriting cannot deceive people.
Another shouted: "Look at the ink traces and see the traces on the seal, are they new or old?"
"Yes! Look!" Someone shouted to Prince Ying: "You are also a jadeite. You should see if there are any traces of old things. There is no one in the world who is better at this."
These people shouted lively, but the more they shouted, the more cold Prince Ying sweated, because from beginning to end, he did not find any flaws in this regard.
No matter how these people shouted, Gan was standing so far, letting them doubt it.
In a short while, two eunuchs came in carrying a box. Guo Changhe glanced at the Minister of Revenue who was huddled behind him. He had to walk out by himself and flipped through the notes in the box casually. Then he said: "There are notes submitted to the late emperor before His Majesty ascended the throne, and there are notes written by His Majesty himself after His Majesty ascended the throne. Some of them were written by His Majesty on the spot when He watched His Majesty write them on the spot. There are notes written by His Majesty at different times...for the princes as a reference."
The so-called different periods refer to the memorials written after being sick. Once a person becomes ill, the severity of the disease will directly lead to some differences in handwriting. It is said that people are like their words, and some people can even see from the other person's words that the person's life is not long. It can be seen that for real experts, there are many things that can be seen in these words.
And this is a flaw of Gan’s family!
Lin Yutong looked at Gan, and saw that her eyes narrowed slightly, but closed her eyes calmly. She then looked at Guo Chang and the others. These ministers were not unwilling to be Gan's superior. Otherwise, they would not have used this method to remind Prince Ying. Now it depends on whether Prince Ying can think of this problem. In the health of Emperor Yongkang, his handwriting will definitely not be the same as when he is sick and ill. However, Gan's handwriting can imitate his handwriting, but he cannot.
But Prince Ying was obviously not very clear at this time. He opened the memorials one by one and compared them. There was really no problem.
Gan suddenly asked, "Can the handwriting match?"
Prince Ying's expression was a little ugly again. This was not something that could pass by himself by lying. If you find a few more people, you can easily reach the conclusion and there is no problem with your handwriting.
Everyone saw that Prince Ying did not answer, so they didn’t understand anything. There should be no problem with him.
Lin Yutong sighed in her heart. Except for a few smart people, these royal families are not considered very smart people. There is no way to compare with Guo Changhe. Which of these people can reach their current high positions is simple. They have long understood the flaws in this, and even spread the evidence in front of these people. Helplessly, they can't see it, and they can't imagine who can blame this? Even if Guo Changhe and his friends achieve this, it's the limit. To put it bluntly, the emperor above has replaced them, and they are still ministers, and their impact on them is minimal.
Gan seemed to have no chance to interrupt and asked again: "Does there be traces of old things?"
Prince Ying still pursed his lips, said no, staring at the imperial edict, and his eyes seemed to be red.
Everyone couldn't help but feel sad. So is this imperial edict real?
Gan's voice rose a little further: "You are the ones who want to ask for the decree to be issued, but you are still questioning now."
This made the people present look at Prince Ying with a complicated look. Yes! From beginning to end, Gan was unwilling to ask for the imperial edict. Prince Ying was aggressive and had to ask for the imperial edict. What should I do now? Dig a hole and bury myself.
"What? I suspect that this palace is fake?" Gan's face showed a little disdain, "If I could do it so realistically, I would have taken out the imperial edict long ago. If I had known this imperial edict, if I had known the emperor's intention, why would it be..." As she said, she was choked up and couldn't say anything. After a long time, she looked at Prince Ying, "You think it is fake, but I suddenly felt like a dream. In order to prove the authenticity of the imperial edict, I would like to ask someone to take out the secret file. Your Majesty wrote the memorial. If it was true, it would have been archived at that time. You can go find it, and I want to know the truth too..."
This was beyond everyone's expectations. They didn't believe anything. Half a year ago, Concubine Chen's hand could have stretched so long.
Lin Yutong glanced at Gan and looked at everyone, "Since that's the case, then I'll ask the Prince of An, Duke of Jin, and Prime Minister Guo to get the secret file together."
Prince An must have firmly opposed the Gan family's rise to power.
Although Jin Chengan was upset, he was not unable to tell the difference. She did not agree with the Gan family's rise, but in his opinion, the throne would eventually fall on his son and daughter-in-law, so in the future, he would still be his grandson. So, at least he would not undermine the situation. Even if Gan family was about to fall, he had to make sure that the position could fall on his son. Otherwise, why bother with him? Let Gan family take the lead, and the dragon throne would still belong to his own branch in the future.
As the prime minister, Guo Changhe is actually in a neutral position in a sense.
Let the three of you go together to save anyone from doing anything. This arrangement is very good. Gan's mouth tilted, and he expressed satisfaction with Lin Yutong's appropriate arrangement.
The three looked at each other, then turned around and walked out. A strange silence began to begin in the hall.
Lin Yutong was not at all relieved. In this situation, no one was willing to succeed the throne. Could it be that he would have to rely on his own force to suppress the throne? To be honest, this was not what he wanted. She was more willing to push the Fourth Master with the flow than bleeding. In such a situation, if she really gave the throne to the Fourth Master, whether it was a royal family, minister, civil officials or military generals, no one would have raised any objections. The Fourth Master was promoted to the throne, and the only way to protect the Gan family. If anyone had no one allowed the Gan family to live.
She turned the bracelet on her wrist, three circles on the left and three circles on the right, constantly weighing her heart and making various ideas.
When the hall became noisy again, Lin Yutong came to her senses, but she saw Guo Changhe holding a volume of imperial edict in her hand, which was indeed a seal from the archives. Several people gathered together and opened the seal. The comparison word by word was completely consistent.
"Impossible! Impossible!" Prince Ying pointed at Gan's hand tremblingly, "It's you! It must be your ghost!"
Gan's eyebrows couldn't help but stand up: "I'm haunted? Why am I haunted? I asked you to find the queen? Did I tell you that His Majesty has a little prince?"
No! None! He found the mother and son. He also went privately to see the queen. In fact, it was unruly for a prince like him to see the queen in the palace when he went there.
When Gan asked this, he was speechless.
"I didn't know the decree from beginning to end, it was all you said. I don't want to find any decree. It made people panic, and it was also what you forced me to come. Now, this decree is not in line with your wishes, so you dare to suspect that the decree is false! According to your method, I will also hand over the decree to you for appraisal. To make sure that the decree is true, you said I was haunted?" Gan sneered, "I ask you, why am I haunted? Can I ask the queen obey me or live with Your Majesty?
When I was still in charge, I should have forced Your Majesty to write this will? If I had such ability, I could be forced to write this will. If I had the ability to be forced by you after the will was read, I would have been helpless? Before, I had always swear that no matter what the content of the imperial edict was, I would definitely obey it. What's wrong now? I didn't say anything! I didn't admit it anymore. I wanted to break my promise! No wonder Your Majesty was unwilling to hand over the country to the people of the royal family. They were all ungrateful guys! Such people are not worthy of being in the world!"
As she said that, her sleeves often flicked, and her wide robe and big sleeves shook a different domineering. She stepped forward, took the imperial edict in her hand, and then raised it high, "Today, since the imperial edict was requested, Your Majesty would entrust the country to this palace, then Ganquan could not let Your Majesty down. She must be in charge of the will of heaven and the people, and ascend to the throne!"
"Don't think about it!" Prince Yu stood up tremblingly and stroked his chest, "Since ancient times, no woman has ever been an emperor! This is not humanity, nor etiquette. We will never admit it." He gasped and looked at the portraits of ancestors hanging on the wall, tears streaming down, "I should have expected it... I should have expected it... You woman is ambitious... I should have thought that this is a plan... The Jin family's country must not be usurped..." He said, pointing to everyone below, "I remember that it is a descendant of the Jin family, so I must not bend my knees to the woman..." Then, he suddenly crashed into the pillar, and suddenly, blood splattered on the spot, "I want to ask Your Majesty... I want to tell the ancestors..."
Lin Yutong looked at Prince Yu's face covered in blood and his open blood-red eyes until he died.
This blood seemed to have aroused the unyielding factor in the blood of these royal family members.
"Yes! We are all descendants of the grandfather, it's no reason why this country is cheaper than a woman with a foreign surname!"
"You must not bow your knees to this daughter!"
"The Gan family is cunning and plans to usurp the throne!"
It seemed as if in a moment, all of these people became fighters. Lin Yutong even heard someone hiding behind her back and shouting "Abdication". She looked at Gan, trying to see a little other look on her face, but she couldn't. Gan had never explained anything to her, how should she do it.
The sky outside gradually became dark. A few eunuchs came in and lit up the lights in the hall. Lin Yutong suddenly realized that it had been a day since today.
She retracted her thoughts and heard Prince Ying say to Gan: "Although we can't find any flaws now, it doesn't mean that this imperial edict is true! Unless Your Majesty is ill and confused..."
As soon as the word "confused" was said, the hall suddenly lit up. The candlelight that was originally burning normally suddenly rushed up. Lin Yutong was shocked by the shock. The movement caused the entire hall to fall into a strange silence, as if he remembered the haunted thing some time ago.
But this is Fengxian Hall, where can there be no lonely ghost here dare to be presumptuous? This is the thought of the people present at this moment.
The flames rushed up high, one foot high. It was incredible no matter how you looked. Just as your spine was cold, you heard the sound of closing the door after closing. Everyone looked at it along the sound. It turned out that it was the door in the hall, and no one closed it on their own!
Even a well-informed person can't help but feel scared.
"Who said I was confused?" This voice was everywhere in the entire hall. I can't tell where it came from. Anyway, it was just as far and near as it was, and it was swaying to everyone's ears. And this voice is familiar to everyone. It is Emperor Yongkang!
Before everyone could recover, their faces were full of shock and their eyes were full of incredible. At this time, the latest tablet fell down at the place where the tablets were placed. It was obvious that the tablets belonged to Emperor Yongkang.
A dead man had a tablet collapsed, the candle fire rose, and the door closed itself. What does this mean? It means that Emperor Yongkang's soul has returned.
Lin Yutong suppressed her curiosity so that she would not ask herself to look around and show too many strange things. Before, she had seen verb skills. Since such complex things can be imitated, it is not difficult to imitate a person's voice. However, she could not understand how to make people unable to hear the location of the sound source. This Fengxian Palace is not a place where special treatments have been done, and it can make the sound produce this effect.
The hall quieted down, and Prince Ying looked around and trembled. There were people whispering below, as if they were asking each other: "Did you hear the voice just now?" They might all feel a little unbelievable.
These voices reached Prince Ying's ears, making him even more convinced. He was not hallucinating before. He was a little scared and angry, and scolded: "Who? Who is pretending to be a ghost? Come out! Come out for me!"
"Haha..." The voice sneered, "You are getting better. Why? Can't you tell who I am?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the candlelight that was slowly returning to normal became increasingly fierce.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..." Prince Ying knelt on the ground all of a sudden, "Your Majesty, you have appeared..." As he said that, he started crying, "Your Majesty... Concubine Chen Gan made an edict... You said something, who do you give to this world, this country, this country, and this country?"
"Don't I write my edict clearly?" The voice was a little helpless, "Oh... I had expected you to be like this..." As he said that, the voice paused and shouted: "Quan'er..."
Gan suddenly knelt down: "Your Majesty... is it you? Your Majesty! Take me away. Why are you so cruel and abandon me? Do you know how heavy the burden you handed over to me? I can't bear it..."
"It's hard for you." The voice was a little reluctant and a little sad, "I really don't know who to give this world to. You have been studying with me since childhood. You are my partner and my confidant. What I want and think, my philosophy and ambitions, who else knows except you? Only you can uphold my philosophy of governing the country... Therefore, I entrust the country and the people to you. Remember, the country is the most important, the country is the most important, and the people are the most important."
"I am willing to accept the order." Gan continued to bow and said, "But I am a woman, from the clan to the officials, no one can be driven by it. Your Majesty is really hard for me..."
"Oh..." The voice was filled with endless desolation, "I have my own proper arrangements to pass the throne to you. Don't panic... Remember, anyone who is conducive to the stability of the country must pay attention to it; anyone who is not conducive to the stability of the country must be eliminated..."
Lin Yutong's heart was shocked. This last sentence was really a Shangfang sword. From now on, Gan's family wanted to get rid of the obstacles, and even the reasons were ready. Even the person who took the blame was found, it was Emperor Yongkang! This was said by Emperor Yongkang in front of everyone.
"I remember!" Gan responded.
To be continued...
