"According to the ancestral rules, there must be three copies of the edict to pass the throne. After it is promulgated, one copy will be handed over to the world and handed over to the ancestral office for files, another copy will be sent to the Ancestral Temple to comfort the ancestors, and the third copy will be kept by the new king who succeeds to the throne.
"
"Back then, the late emperor only had time to write two edicts. One was on the royal desk, and the other was in the hands of the eunuch."
"The current emperor only thought that the late emperor had no time to finish writing it, so he changed the ten in the imperial edict written on the royal table to seven in the words "Tenth Prince", but he didn't know that there was another original manuscript in the hands of the eunuch."
"But even so, the personal eunuch also knew that with the temperament of the current emperor, he would never keep him as a confidant of the late emperor, so he told the secret to the palace maid who was having sex with him overnight, and then he was killed.
No bones have been found so far.”
"It just so happened that the maid who was eating against him was King Wen's nurse. The maid was afraid of getting into trouble, so she told King Wen about the imperial edict and the secret, and then..."
"Then King Wen killed her, right?" Li Chen asked.
Nangong Shouzhong nodded.
Li Chen took a deep breath.
Even though so many years had passed, he was not the one who experienced it personally. Even when this incident happened, his body had not yet been born, and he himself was still far away from traveling through time.
But after hearing Nangong Shouzhong's words, Li Chen seemed to be able to feel that the bloody storm that had accumulated for decades still had not completely dissipated.
God knows that behind the death of the late emperor and the already tragic struggle for the throne in Kowloon, there was such a twisted, bizarre, terrifying and bloody conspiracy.
Emperor Daxing... once again refreshed Li Chen's understanding of the four words "cruel and ruthless".
There is no need to ask the next questions.
When Emperor Daxing seized the opportunity and successfully ascended the throne, there was almost no way for others to change the facts. Only the edict of succession in the hands of King Wen could change it.
But King Wen did not take it out.
This is also easy to understand.
First, it would be of no benefit to King Wen to take it out.
Second, no matter what the result is after taking it out, King Wen will die.
If Emperor Daxing successfully defended this ill-gotten throne, there would be no need to say more about King Wen's fate.
And if King Ning brought things right, how would he treat King Wen?
gratitude?
impossible.
King Ning would only think, if King Wen has such a secret, will there be other secrets?
If this secret can help him, can other secrets threaten him?
There is no right or wrong in the battle for the throne, and there is no good or bad in the emperor's thoughts.
Therefore, King Wen kept this thing, in case the situation changes in the future, it may become a clever move to disturb the muddy waters of the world.
In a short period of time, countless possibilities flashed through Li Chen's mind.
Finally, he set his sights on Nangong Shouzhong and narrowed his eyes slightly. No one knew what he was thinking in his heart.
Nangong Shouzhong could feel the danger and terror that was almost solidified. He knew that his life was really hanging by a thread at this time.
"Your Highness, Cao Min has been with King Wen for many years and knows too many things about King Wen. If Your Highness does not save Cao Min, Cao Min will definitely die after he returns."
This sentence may seem like nonsense, but it is actually the most appropriate sentence right now.
Because Nangong Shouzhong accurately revealed a piece of information to Li Chen: I have many other secrets of King Wen. If your Highness wants to deal with King Wen, you cannot do without my help.
