But once an imperial edict is formally drafted and issued, it must be refined on a scroll and will not just be rolled up into a ball and placed in a box.
Then it can only mean that it is not an officially issued imperial edict, and may not have been issued at all.
And judging from this sense of age, it is definitely a product from decades ago, but how long has it been since Emperor Daxing took the throne?
Unable to suppress his inner curiosity, Li Chen took out the imperial edict.
After unfolding it, Li Chen roughly scanned the contents recorded above with just a few glances.
But just the information contained in these few glances made Li Chen couldn't help but suddenly change his expression.
This imperial edict, which has never been issued, was written by Emperor Tianyuan.
Emperor Tianyuan is the late emperor. According to blood relationship, he is Li Chen’s biological grandfather.
And this imperial edict is clearly an imperial edict to pass the throne.
"...It is said that it is located in the tenth prince Zaihou..."
These eight words in the imperial edict have the power to overthrow the entire Qin Empire.
The tenth prince of the Daxing Emperor's generation, Li Zaihou, is now... Prince Ning!
Emperor Daxing himself was the seventh son of the late Emperor Tianyuan, and King Wen was the thirteenth son.
With a storm in his heart, Li Chen raised his head and looked at Nangong Shouzhong with stern eyes for a long time.
Inside Xi Zheng Hall, you can hear a needle drop.
There is no noise at all.
But Nangong Shouzhong always knelt and bowed his head, motionless.
But if you look closely, you can still notice that his body is shaking.
It was a state of extreme fear and uncontrollable trembling.
This oppressive silence that almost made people vomit blood lasted for half a cup of tea before Li Chen slowly opened his mouth to break the silence.
"Everyone, please exit the Xi Zheng Palace a hundred steps away, and send the Yu Lin Guards to guard the Xi Zheng Palace. Without orders from this palace, anyone who enters without mercy will be killed without mercy."
As soon as Li Chen finished speaking, everyone, including Wan Jiaojiao, immediately left in an orderly manner, and no one dared to make the slightest sound.
After they left, the dense footsteps of Yu Linwei could be heard outside Xi Zheng Palace.
The light of the candle shadow was so bright that it reflected the Yulin guards outside with their weapons, connected end to end, and surrounded the Xi Zheng Palace with hundreds of steps.
In the Xi Zheng Palace, there were only two people, Li Chen and Nangong Shouzhong.
Li Chen quickly walked up to Nangong Shouzhong with this imperial edict, lowered his head and looked down at Nangong Shouzhong, and said in a deep voice: "Where did you get this thing?"
Nangong Shouzhong trembled all over and replied: "My father has been with King Wen for many years. King Wen was given the fiefdom of Jinling by the late emperor. King Wen was alone and only brought my father with him. This shows that my father is deeply trusted by King Wen, and this thing was given to my father by King Wen."
Things for safekeeping.”
Li Chen sneered: "Let's not talk about how King Wen got such an important thing. Even if he got it, he would definitely keep it personally. How could he give it to your father?"
Nangong Shouzhong seemed to have known that Li Chen would ask this question, and he replied hastily: "Your Highness, the truth is true, and the truth is true. When the late emperor died, the world was in chaos, and even King Wen did not have the safety to survive it safely.
He couldn't be sure whether there would be spies or spies searching around him, so he put this thing at my father's place."
"Everyone knows that King Wen will definitely take care of such an important thing personally, but because of this, no one would have thought that it would be handed over to others by King Wen. It is precisely because of this that King Wen was able to arrive at Jinling safely, otherwise he would not have been able to do so today.
Your Majesty will never let King Wen leave the capital alive."
