In the 38th year of Jianyuan, the emperor died in Wanxiang Palace at the age of 52. He was posthumously named Emperor Shenwu Xiaogong and the temple name Shenzong.

The coffin was placed in Taihe Hall. In front of his coffin, Eunuch Li took out the imperial edict for the throne that Emperor Jianyuan had already drafted and read it in court.

When I read "The emperor's third son Yingche", the imperial concubine jumped up and snatched it from his hand, saying repeatedly: "Impossible...Impossible...The emperor promised this palace to pass it to Ao'er...Impossible..."

Eunuch Li shook his head silently and said, "This is an imperial edict written by the Lord himself. It is also the meaning of the Lord."

The imperial concubine looked pale and her sharp eyes stabbed him like a blade, "This is not what the emperor means, you are lying, this imperial edict is false, it is you and..." She pointed her finger at Ying Che, "It is you who colluded with him, you have changed the imperial edict without any intention to obtain the throne."

King Xian immediately stood up and responded, "Yes, before the father passed away, you were the only ones present. I wonder if it was during that period that you tampered with the imperial edict."

Li Yingda has been with Emperor Jianyuan for many years and has always been good at everything and is very sleek. He smiles at everyone. He suddenly calms down and says in a deep voice: "Please be careful with the imperial concubine and the king of Xian."

King Xian still refused to give in and pointed at Ying Che and said, "He has been demoted to a commoner. How could the father pass the throne to him? You said this imperial edict is true, and I will not believe anything."

Old Master Zhuo wiped his tears, and he knelt at the head of the ministers, "Yes, the Supreme General Rui King was summoned back and restored the throne. It was so sudden. At this moment, he said that it was located in Rui King. If the Supreme Master had intended Yu Rui King at the beginning, why would he be demoted?"

The ministers whispered and agreed, "Yes, yes, this is too unconventional."

Seeing this, King Rong said, "Yes, Eunuch Li, this move of the father is really hard to understand, and everyone is also confused. Why not let the ministers discuss and establish another emperor."

Hua Junze immediately objected, "Just, the father's will has been issued, and we must follow the emperor's will. How can the ministers discuss the principle of electing the emperor?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a minister who supported King Rong said, "Why can't it be? Since ancient times, those who are capable have been there. For the sake of the Qin Dynasty, we naturally have to elect a capable and talented prince to inherit the throne so that we can live up to the ancestors of the Qin Dynasty."

"What do you mean is that King Rui has no ability and no talent? Don't forget how much King Rui has done for the Qin court before!"

"King Rui used to be talented, but it is an indisputable fact that he colluded with friends and corrupt and abused the law."

"The imperial edict of the late emperor to restore the title of King Rui has been said that those are King Rui who was framed."

For a moment, both sides were verbally quarreled and argued endlessly.

At this time, Eunuch Li coughed and silted his throat, saying, "Our family is just following the will of the late emperor. The imperial edict of the late emperor stated that it was passed on to King Rui, which was King Rui. Our family has no self-informed relationship with King Rui. Everyone knows that our family will only be loyal to the late emperor in this life. If anyone of you doubts our family, just give evidence!"

The rest of the crowd finally calmed down, and Eunuch Li's sharp eyes shot at everyone, "And when the late emperor issued an imperial edict, not only was there one in our family, but Concubine Yan was also by the late emperor's side, and she could also testify."

After saying that, everyone looked at Concubine Yan. You must know that Concubine Yan is the Imperial Concubine and King Rong, which is something everyone knows.

The people standing in Yingche all showed anxious and worried expressions on their faces, and like the Imperial Concubine and King Rong, there was a flame in their eyes, and there was a sense of complacency in their expressions.

The imperial concubine said, "Concubine Yan, please tell me, who did the late emperor pass the throne to?"

King Rong's gentle face cracked with excited and depressing smile, "Mother Yan, don't be afraid, all the ministers are here, no one dares to touch you." This was said as if Ying Che was about to threaten her.

Concubine Yan looked at everyone, hesitant, and hesitated for a long time and said for a moment: "Yes, Eunuch Li is telling the truth. The late emperor did pass the throne to King Rui."

Before she could finish her words, King Rong's face had faded from blood. The imperial concubine rushed forward and raised her hand and slapped her, "You are lying! I am the ruthless palace recommending you to the late emperor. You dare to betray me! You forgot who rescued you from the kiln. If it weren't for my son, you would still betray your body in the brothel, and you would enjoy wealth and glory as if you were now."

Concubine Yan covered her face and did not resist, but said, "I am grateful to the imperial concubine for her kindness, but I dare not disobey the wishes of the late emperor. What I said is the truth."

Ying Che raised his eyelids slightly, looked at Concubine Yan deeply, and said, "You can hear it too. Concubine Yan and Concubine Huang have a close relationship. If the emperor's decree is fake, she has no reason to stand on this side of the king."

The ministers whispered and talked a lot. Hua Junze was quick-minded and said, "And as far as I know, Concubine Yan's father was Zhang Yan, the former prefect of Chongyang. He was killed by King Rui for violating the law for corruption. How could Concubine Yan help King Rui?"

"But..." Hua Junze bowed to Concubine Yan, "Concubine Yan was able to let go of her personal hatred and follow her father's will, which is really admirable for me."

Concubine Yan bowed slightly to him, "The prince-in-law praised me. This palace was deeply favored by the late emperor and dared not disobey his intentions. It was just telling the truth."

The imperial concubine's face turned red with anger. Seeing Hua Junze and Yan's conscience singing together, she was even more angry and pointed at them, "You, you are all colluding."

Ying Che lifted his robe and walked up to her, "I know that you are unwilling to accept the imperial concubine. I have never thought of becoming this emperor, but this is the father's last wish, so I have to obey it and ask the imperial concubine to relax so as not to hurt her body."

The imperial concubine said, "You-you-" but she could no longer say a word.

King Rong saw that the wind direction of the ministers below had turned to Ying Che, and knew that he had lost this game. He never expected that he would lose to a prostitute. If there was no Concubine Yan as a testimony, there would be half the chance, but because Concubine Yan was usually close to them, almost everyone had already agreed that they had a close relationship. This proved the credibility of Concubine Yan.

He supported the imperial concubine, "Mother, you are in poor health, don't be so excited. Since this is the will of the father, we must obey it."

The imperial concubine looked at him in surprise, and was stunned for a moment. King Rong winked at her, hinting that she should not talk more.

Seeing that they all stopped, Eunuch Li waved the whisk and said in a sharp voice: "Work to the New Emperor."
