Li Musen was stunned for a moment. He was so frightened by the wine that he woke up. He forgot that he was still clean. He jumped out of bed and grabbed the shoulder of Mr. Liu, the Minister of Civil Affairs. "How could my father be assassinated? He was not in the palace."
!"
He was invited to Master Liu's house today, drank a lot of wine, and planned to stay overnight since it was late at night. He didn't expect that such a big thing would happen in just half the night!
The emperor was actually assassinated in the palace. Li Musen couldn't believe it for a moment!
Mr. Liu panicked, "Oh, Your Highness, I don't know about this either. You should quickly change your clothes. This is not the most important thing!"
Li Musen grabbed the clothes scattered aside and put them on randomly. Hearing Master Liu's words, he couldn't help but be stunned, "What did you say? Isn't this the most important thing?"
Mr. Liu said in a panic, "No! I heard that the eldest prince Li Muyi has received your majesty's will. Now all the civil and military officials are rushing to the main hall! Let's wait for the eldest prince to read out his majesty's will and determine the successor to the throne!"
Mr. Liu spoke quickly and somewhat incoherently.
Of course he couldn't help but be anxious. The person he placed the bet on was Li Musen!
"Edict! How is this possible? Why have I never heard of this!"
Li Musen was shocked again.
Mr. Liu also looked confused, "We ministers have never heard His Majesty say that there is a will! It would be terrible if His Majesty's will is not to choose you as the successor!"
These words immediately made Li Musen anxious, "Are you kidding me! Prepare your horses and enter the palace!"
The two of them hurriedly came to the door. Suddenly Li Musen stopped and Lord Liu hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"
Li Musen narrowed his eyes, "No, no, there is something fishy about this matter! Not only you, I have never heard my father say that he made a will. Over the years, my father has never made a move to establish a prince. How could a will come out for no reason?"
Who did you just say discovered this edict?"
Mr. Liu subconsciously said, "Someone from the palace said that your Majesty informed the eldest prince of this edict before his death!"
As soon as his eyes opened, Li Musen smiled coldly, "Okay, I didn't expect that loser to have such thoughts, I almost got into trouble with him!"
"What did you say, Your Highness?" Mr. Liu was a little confused.
Li Musen said coldly, "This edict is definitely fake. It was fabricated by the eldest prince. I am sure that the edict must have written for him to succeed. This waste is really well hidden. Maybe my father will be killed tonight."
The stabbing was all his plan!"
Mr. Liu was immediately shocked, "Your Highness, you mean...the eldest prince, for the sake of the throne, sent people to assassinate His Majesty, and then fabricated the edict?"
It was a bit unbelievable, and Mr. Liu had a look of shock on his face.
Li Musen smiled sinisterly, "We are all close! There are many masters in the palace, how could your Majesty be assassinated so easily with them."
"If there weren't people in the palace acting as internal agents, what kind of master would have the ability to assassinate my father in the palace?"
"That guy Li Muyi must be waiting for all the civil and military officials to arrive, and then use that fake edict to succeed to the throne. What an insidious intention!"
I have to say that Li Musen is still somewhat smart. Apart from being surprised and anxious at the beginning, he did not get dizzy and hurriedly entered the palace.
After hearing what he said, Mr. Liu also felt that it was very possible and calmed down, "Indeed, if this is the case, once the edict is announced, the eldest prince will be the heir to the throne! Damn it, what will we do in the future?"
If the eldest prince is allowed to sit on the throne, wouldn't all the hard work I have put into the second prince over the years be in vain?
Li Musen chuckled, "He did have a good idea, but he forgot one thing, I am still the deputy commander of the imperial army! I am in charge of 30,000 imperial city imperial army!"
Mr. Liu was immediately startled. He looked at Li Musen and already guessed what the other party was going to do. "Your Highness...do you really want it?"
With his eyes full of viciousness, Li Musen said coldly, "No matter whether the edict is true or false, who is the heir to the throne written on it? I can only sit on that chair!"
As he spoke, Li Musen turned to look at Mr. Liu, "You enter the palace first and hold Li Muyi while I go to the Forbidden Army station to mobilize troops! I will arrive at the palace in a quarter of an hour at most!"
Mr. Liu hesitated for a moment, "I'm afraid this won't be easy!"
Without His Majesty's order, the Imperial Guards cannot leave their base at will on weekdays.
Li Musen snorted, with a sneer on his face, "My father was assassinated, and I sent troops to catch the assassin in the palace!"
Mr. Liu's eyes suddenly lit up, "This is a good reason, no one will dare to stop it!"
"Go ahead."
Li Musen patted Mr. Liu on the shoulder and started drawing the cake directly. "After the matter is completed, my highness will not forget you. Remember, you will never let Li Muyi read out the edict before I arrive!"
Mr. Liu nodded, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will leave this matter to the minister!"
The two immediately separated, one rushed to the Forbidden Army station, and the other hurriedly rushed to the palace.
The imperial city was brightly lit at this moment, and the guards and masters in the palace were still looking for his whereabouts, but found nothing.
Government Hall.
Li Muyi's body was still stained with the blood of his father. Next to him were a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old and a mature and beautiful woman.
The faces of the young man and the beautiful woman were full of panic, as they looked at the eldest prince and the officials who kept coming.
The two of them are the fifth prince Li Muyuan and Li Muyuan's mother-in-law.
Looking at Li Muyi, who was covered in blood and seemed a little haggard at the moment, Li Muyuan couldn't help but ask, "Brother, why don't we go see our father and come here instead?"
Li Muyi was squatting in front of the dragon steps. When he heard this, he raised his head that had been hanging down. The civil and military ministers who came over also looked over.
He forced a smile, with an extremely sad expression on his face: "Fifth brother, this is my father's last will and testament. There is a more important thing to do."
The Minister of Rites frowned and said, "Eldest Prince, but what about His Majesty's last edict that you mentioned earlier?"
Li Muyi nodded, "Master Li, His Majesty told me his last words. The edict is in this hall. All civil and military officials, royal family members, and relatives must be present before it can be read out. Your Majesty said that there are candidates for the throne in the edict.
.”
"So, I must summon all the adults to be present!"
After hearing this, all the officials began to whisper among themselves.
His Majesty is in poor health and has not clearly designated a crown prince.
Now he was suddenly assassinated and died suddenly, which is really unexpected.
Mr. Li from the Ministry of Rites frowned and looked at Li Muyi, "Your Highness, did your Majesty really say that there was a posthumous edict? Why did we never know about it?"
Li Muyi said impatiently, "You ask me who to ask! How many times have I said it! Are you all deaf? Say it again for the last time! Your Majesty just said in the end that I must summon all the officials to read out the imperial edict, otherwise there will be consequences if there is turmoil
It’s unimaginable!” “What did you say! Father!”
Li Musen was stunned for a moment. He was so frightened by the wine that he woke up. He forgot that he was still clean. He jumped out of bed and grabbed the shoulder of Mr. Liu, the Minister of Civil Affairs. "How could my father be assassinated? He was not in the palace."
