It was early in the morning, and the voices of all the civil and military officials and concubines who were kneeling and weeping outside Yuchen Palace all stopped.
With a bit of panic in his eyes, he looked at the Queen Mother who was climbing up the stairs.
She is so graceful, elegant and dignified.
Although she is wearing plain clothes, she can't hide her youthful charm.
At this time, the Queen Mother was holding a purple-crowned boy with slightly dark complexion and nearly eleven or twelve years old.
The young man seemed to have never seen such a big scene, and his face looked a little panicked.
A group of palace servants holding colorful crowns followed behind the Queen Mother, their faces solemn and silent.
The Queen Mother had a cold face, and her eyes moved to the leading elderly man, "Taifu Zhang, Mr. Han. It just so happens that you are all here, the Ai family wants to introduce someone to you."
The Queen Mother took the child a few steps forward and said coldly, "The person standing next to the Ai family is named Shen Feng, and he is the emperor's biological son."
"His mother was a palace maid. Ten years ago, she died on the day of childbirth due to persecution by the enchantress Yong Fei."
"Fortunately, this child was blessed with great fortune and was protected by his wet nurse to the death and escaped from the palace."
"Over the years, the Ai family has been searching secretly."
"Huangtian paid off his hard work, and finally the Ai family found this child yesterday."
"My lords, it should be very clear after thinking about it. When the emperor was dying, the reason why he passed the title of prince to Shen Xiaoran was because the emperor thought that he had no heirs."
"Now that his biological heir is in front of you, you should know who to appoint as the new king."
The courtiers looked at each other with very strange and strange expressions.
Taifu Zhang stroked his beard with a calm expression and said, "The Queen Mother has learned from this."
"On that day, His Majesty summoned us to Yuchen Palace and personally drafted the edict of passing the throne. This was witnessed by everyone with our own eyes."
"It's not that Wei Chen and others don't believe the Queen Mother's words."
"But..."
The Queen Mother interrupted Zhang Taifu with a cold face, "Tai Fu, you'd better think it over carefully before speaking."
"The man in front of you is the emperor's biological son."
"According to royal tradition, this child is the first heir to the throne."
Prince Yun frowned and glanced sideways at Prince Yu.
The latter showed no sign of anger, but instead looked on with a cold eye.
It seems that what the Queen Mother said will not affect Prince Yu at all.
This is not in line with the temperament of his old brother! Prince Yun thought to himself.
This old brother of his has a hot temper. Anyone who dares to touch his eyes will not be given the honor to do so.
Taifu Zhang raised his hands to the sky without being salty and said, "Emperor Taizu Taiyuan once taught that the female relatives in the harem are not allowed to interfere in politics. I hope the Queen Mother will understand."
"There is nothing wrong with the edict of passing the throne. When the late emperor was awake that day, he called everyone from the six ministries to wait for the Taifu. The princes and princes were all present. They were drafted on the spot by the officials of the Ministry of Rites."
The Queen Mother sneered, "The emperor couldn't drink the decoction a few days ago, but Taifu Zhang said that the emperor drafted the edict of succession while he was awake that day? Who can believe this?"
Taifu Zhang was really angry and laughed, "Your Majesty, all the civil and military officials were outside the Yuchen Palace that day. Dozens of veterans and others were summoned inside! Could it be that everyone present does not exist in the eyes of your Majesty?"
The Queen Mother waved her hand, "Let's not care whether this edict is true or false, let's just talk about this child."
