Chapter 319: Announcing the heir to the throne (1)
"Then my father, my sons summoned them to my father's invasion palace..."
"Are you so impatient?" The old king showed displeasure. The prince was also a person who knew how to watch people's words, so he silenced him. He knew that he could not force the old king to go too far at this moment. After that, the old king dismissed everyone, leaving only
He left his beloved concubine Dai Guifei to accompany him. "Concubine Dai," he said to her, "find an inconspicuous way to go to the first swordsmith and tell him that I sent you to find him.
He will tell you something and then you tell me the truth about what he told you. The only one I can trust is you, do you understand?"
"I understand, I understand." Concubine Dai nodded gently.
After the prince returned to his palace, his generals asked him if the old king had agreed to issue an edict to establish him as crown prince? He truthfully described the old king's answer to his men. After that, a general said to him: "
Prince Lian, I will not be afraid that this is the king's expedient measure."
"How do you say it?" Wang Zilian asked him
"Prince, according to reliable information, the prince has already entered the city..."
"How is this possible?" Wang Zili suddenly became furious, with an expression of disbelief: "Didn't you all tell the truth? If you see the prince and kill him, how can he still have a chance to survive?" When Wang Zili gets angry, it is really scary.
It was quite intimidating, so the general was so frightened that he immediately changed his words: "Prince, it was just one of the subordinates of the general who said that he vaguely saw the figure of the prince in the city. Maybe he was dazzled."
"Dazzled? Seen vaguely?" The prince became even more angry, and he ordered: "I don't care whether this is true or not, but you should handle this matter quickly. From now on, I don't want to see the prince appear in front of me." At the same time, he thought of him
The father may have also heard the news that the prince might be coming back, so he immediately wanted to leave again. This time, he was coerced and lured to get the edict. However, a close guard next to the king suddenly came to visit with the imperial edict, and he knelt down.
After receiving the edict, the content of the imperial edict is: "Due to my poor health recently, which delayed the court meeting, I have decided to formally announce the successor to the throne of King Qi Xuan at the court meeting tomorrow."
After the close guard announced the decree and left, the general said to the prince with a smile: "Prince, the king will definitely declare His Highness the prince as the heir to the throne." Everyone was indulged in this joy. Was it just the prince or the prince?
He was deeply disturbed. Although he had an impetuous personality, he was a cautious person. He did not withdraw from asking the general to investigate the incident where he vaguely saw the prince.
On a sunny morning, Wang Zilian finally ushered in the court meeting he had hoped for. He saw his father being supported by Concubine Dai to the throne. Although he walked stooped and looked sick, his appearance brought with it
The power that came made all the officials obey and worship. The prince looked at his father with a smile. He imagined that it wouldn't be long before he would be worshiped by all the officials.
