Therefore, among these women with children, she is the only one with the calmest expression.
The third prince also had a look of indifference. His mother had told him since he was a child not to spy on the throne. It was much easier to be an ordinary person than an emperor.
Therefore, he did not argue or speak out and just went about his business calmly.
The eldest prince Ye Yunnian is already thirteen years old, at an age where he knows everything. He has always felt that this throne belongs to him, so he looks at his second brother Ye Yunzhe with disgust and resentment from time to time.
Of course, Ye Yunzhe was not someone to be trifled with. He raised his head arrogantly. He was determined to win the throne.
In front of the emperor's coffin, the emperor's closest relatives each had their own concerns and plans.
Ye Shihan just stood quietly on the front steps with his hands behind his back, waiting for the two princes who wanted to rebel to enter the palace.
Time passed by bit by bit, and more and more people were kneeling outside the Yangxin Palace. However, everyone was a little worried, and they were secretly thinking about how they would escape if something happened in the palace. So, really
Not many people mourned the emperor in their hearts.
Report...
A long announcement sounded.
Ye Shihan's tense face was instantly covered with black lines, "Say."
"Your Highness, the Third Prince and the Sixth Prince have forced their way into the palace in the name of guarding it."
"How many people did you bring?"
"They came from Xuanyangmen and Dongchengmen respectively, and each brought about a thousand people with them. They all seemed to have extraordinary skills."
Ye Shihan clenched his fists and his lips began to tremble uncontrollably.
He was not afraid, but chilled.
As soon as he announced the emperor's death, his two royal brothers led troops into the palace. How chilling is this?
He is still standing here like a vigorous pine and cypress, motionless, not angry and intimidating, with an expression that makes people shudder.
At this time, from a distance, he saw two princes on horseback coming from the east gate and the north gate respectively.
His fists were clenched. When the eunuchs and maids kneeling at the door saw this, they hurriedly scattered to make room in the middle.
The Third Prince and the Sixth Prince each had mourning cloths tied around their waists. When they came closer, they dismounted their horses and strode straight to the Yangxin Hall where Ye Shihan was standing.
"You two princes, are you here to express your condolences?" He said with a dark face and a voice so cold it could squeeze water out of your mouth.
"Yes, the emperor passed away, and his younger brother should come to express his condolences. Does the seventh younger brother also have to take care of this?"
"I don't dare." Ye Shihan clenched his fists and saluted, "Since you are here to express condolences, why do you need to come on horseback and lead troops? Since the late emperor, no one in this palace has dared to enter on horseback. I don't know what the two brothers want.
Why?"
The Third Prince looked at him with his arms folded and snorted coldly,
"I was afraid that you would do evil things in the palace, so I came to stop you. In a moment of impatience, I forgot to dismount. As for why my sixth brother behaved like this, I don't know."
The Sixth Prince saw that all the royal ministers in the palace were here, and he had no reason to force himself.
So, he raised his eyebrows and said softly:
"I also heard a secret report that the emperor has passed away and that the Seventh Prince is the dominant one. He is suspected of seeking power and usurping the throne. Therefore, I rushed into the palace to rescue the princes, so I came on horseback."
The words spoken by these two princes really made Ye Shihan feel like he couldn't laugh or cry.
It was obvious that they were here to force me to marry them, and they spoke so grandly. These two were really eloquent people.
"Hahaha, the two princes are indeed the emperor's good brothers and loyal ministers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Then tell me, what will you do if you bring so many people into the palace? Do you want to capture me?"
Seeing his expression, the Third Prince and the Sixth Prince rarely looked at each other, as if they were communicating with their eyes.
"Yes, we will capture you, a person who intends to rebel, on behalf of the Emperor."
"Intent to rebel?" Ye Shihan looked at the third prince with a sullen face, "How could you tell? I was the only one who was here before the emperor died, so I will say who is the prince now."
"You are talking nonsense. You are pretending to convey the decree. The Emperor intends to make the second prince the crown prince." The sixth prince suddenly roared loudly.
"There is no reason in this world to be separated by a pot, a table and a kang. With the eldest prince here, there is no reason for anyone to compete with him." The third prince was also dissatisfied and started to argue for the man he supported.
At this time, Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu each led their sons to stand in front of their team, intending to tell everyone that they would use the hands of the two princes to put their sons on the throne.
In front of the emperor's coffin, only the queen, the third prince and Princess Jiaoyue were left.
Su Muer had been standing in the corner watching all this.
Looking at this scene, Ye Shihan suddenly felt as if a tree had fallen and the hozenes had scattered.
"I'm afraid I will disappoint the two princes. The emperor has decreed that the third prince Ye Yun, born to the queen, should be made the crown prince."
Hearing this, Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu, as well as the Third Prince and the Sixth Prince respectively showed expressions of surprise.
The queen quickly shook her head and refused,
"No, I thank you for your love, but the third prince is not suitable to be a prince, and he doesn't want to do it either."
"Yes, the third prince is mute, how can he be the prince? I think you are just pretending to pass on the imperial edict." Concubine Xian pointed at him in anger.
"Yes, Ye Shihan dares to falsely pass on the imperial edict. Come and get it for me." The third prince waved his hand to the people behind him, and several soldiers prepared to step forward tremblingly.
"Who dares?" Ye Shihan looked at everyone with a stern face,
"This is what the Emperor himself said. If you don't believe me, go ask the Emperor."
The third prince curled his lips and snorted coldly, "You know clearly that the emperor has passed away, but you are still here to confuse the public with your lies. Sixth brother, in that case, let's eradicate him first, and then make a decision."
"Okay." The Sixth Prince also looked at Ye Shihan aggressively, "First of all, we must eradicate this person who falsely preaches the imperial edict. It is really not possible. Let the eldest prince and the second prince take turns taking this throne, and Ye Shihan's treacherous plan will not be allowed to succeed."
The emperor takes turns?
This is truly an anecdote for the ages.
When Ye Shihan heard this, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and roar,
"Hahaha, I'm afraid you won't have this chance. Come here and capture these two rebellious officials and traitors."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Mo and Liu Hai each brought thousands of heavy troops and surrounded them.
The expression of the third prince suddenly became deserted, and the expression of the sixth prince was not good-looking either.
"Third brother, we two brothers have been working together for more than ten years, and today it seems that we have the same enemy."
"Hahaha, the emperor is dead, and this palace has become a palace without an owner. If this is the case, then the winner will be the king and the loser will be the bandit."
"Okay, all the officers and soldiers listen to the order. Whoever takes Ye Shihan's head today will be the hero. The new emperor will be generously rewarded when he ascends the throne."
Ye Shihan looked at the two desperate people in front of him, with a look of contempt flashing in his eyes.
"I'm afraid you won't have a chance. Please, Your Majesty."
His voice suddenly rose, and everyone's eyes were filled with doubt when they heard this.
At this time, the emperor who was lying in the coffin suddenly sat up. Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned and exclaimed,
