Everyone looked at Li Muyi's impatient expression and nodded secretly.
This guy has always had a bad temper, and as expected, his true nature was revealed after asking a few more questions. It seems that the fact that there is a will is true.
His Majesty's assassination should have nothing to do with him.
None of the officials are fools. Suddenly a suicide edict came out, and it was Li Muyi who said it.
Like Li Musen, they all wondered whether all this was led by Li Muyi.
This was done in order for him to ascend to the throne.
Therefore, even though Li Muyi had said it many times, these officials still took the trouble to ask him whether the imperial edict was true or false.
The purpose is to see something from Li Muyi.
But they didn't know that Li Muyi was indeed going to ascend the throne, and he was going to ascend the throne openly and openly in front of them.
It can be said that he and Xiao Feiyu worked very hard for this.
Suddenly there was a commotion ahead, and someone said, "Gongsun and everyone are here!"
"Everyone Gongsun!"
"Mr. Gongsun, you are here!"
The dean of the academy, Gongsun Yunxiu, walked in from outside the main hall. She had just arrived from the academy.
As the dean of the academy, Gongsun Yunxiu had a very transcendent status in the Zhou Kingdom. Therefore, even if she did not have an official status, even if the six ministers met her, they would bow to say hello.
Moreover, the coronation of emperors of the Zhou Dynasty must also be presided over by the dean of the academy.
Therefore, Gongsun Yunxiu must be present today.
What is a little surprising is that Gongsun Yunxiu, who is usually relatively friendly, did not pay attention to the officials.
She walked up to Li Muyi step by step, staring at him closely with her beautiful eyes.
Li Muyi's heartbeat was like beating a drum, and he tried his best to suppress it. For other civil and military ministers, he, Li Muyi, was confident that he could prevent them from seeing anything.
But Gongsun Yunxiu was different.
This teacher who never admitted that he was too smart!
Often the truth of the matter can be inferred just from some clues!
Moreover, because of the transcendent status of the academy president, all dynasties
The emperor of Zhou had to be recognized by the dean of the academy.
That can be regarded as the real hope of the public and the aspirations of the people.
Li Muyi was deeply afraid that the other party would see something, so he did not pretend to be as sad as before.
Because the other person knows who he is.
"Mr. Gongsun." Li Muyi called softly.
Gongsun Yunxiu said calmly, "Where is the edict that His Majesty said before his death?"
Li Muyi hesitated for a moment, seeming to be recalling what his father said before his death.
After a moment, Li Muyi said, "Mr. Gongsun, my father said that I can only tell you the whereabouts of the imperial edict after everyone has arrived."
After hearing his words, many officials nodded slightly, and many people looked outside the hall, feeling a little anxious.
Where did the second prince go? Why didn't he show up yet?
These people are all those who have lined up with the second prince Li Musen early. They don't want their hard work to be in vain. Once Li Musen ascends to the throne, they will all become ministers of the Dragon in the future!
They couldn't help but get excited when they thought about it.
But Li Chengkun seemed to have been forgotten, his body was placed in the palace, and everyone had different thoughts at the moment, and no one had the time to pay attention to him.
After hearing Li Muyi's words, although Gongsun Yunxiu didn't believe it, he didn't express anything.
He quietly stepped aside.
Keeping her eyes on Li Muyi, she had an intuition that the assassination of Li Chengkun this time was closely related to the eldest prince Li Muyi.
at this time.
Master Liu, the Minister of Civil Affairs, finally arrived at the palace hall. As soon as he entered the door, he hurriedly asked, "Where is the edict? Where is the edict? It hasn't been read out yet!"
Li Muyi raised his head and looked at him, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart, and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Liu, the edict has not been read out yet. After all, it can only be read out if all of us are present."
Master Liu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
, it’s good that it hasn’t been read out yet.
Then he heard Li Muyi ask, "Master Liu, if I remember correctly, the second prince should have gone to your home for a meeting today. Why are you the only one here? Where is the second prince?"
Master Liu said, "First Prince, don't be anxious, His Highness will be here soon!"
Hearing this, Li Muyi said nothing more.
More than a dozen eyes looked at Mr. Liu, who gave them a reassuring look.
After receiving the affirmation, the big stone in these people's hearts finally fell to the ground.
After a while, all the officials at court arrived, as did the concubines and other princes and princesses in the harem.
There was only one left, Li Musen, who had not yet arrived, but the eldest prince did not make any move, as if he had to wait until his second brother arrived before reading out the edict.
A sound of armor shaking appeared in the palace, and a moment later they arrived at the entrance of the hall.
People who were closer to the entrance were stunned for a moment when they saw Li Musen, and then turned pale with shock: "Your Highness, what do you want?"
Behind Li Musen are densely packed Imperial City Imperial Guards!
It can be said to be the most elite team in the entire Zhou Kingdom!
Li Muyi stood up, looked at Li Musen who appeared at the door of the hall, and smiled in his heart, "It's finally here, you made me wait easily!"
Facing the doubtful glances of everyone, Li Musen, who was completely sober after drinking, just said calmly, "His Royal Highness heard that my father was assassinated, and specially mobilized troops from the Forbidden Army station to arrest the murderer! Don't panic, gentlemen."
"Now the palace is surrounded, not even a fly can fly out!"
There is another meaning in Li Musen's words.
Now the palace is under my control!
Everyone who understood had a smile on their face. Li Musen walked into the hall and his eyes fell on Li Muyi who stood up. "Brother, I heard that my father asked you to announce a will before his death?"
Li Muyi nodded, "Yes, my father's last words and the names of the candidates to succeed the throne are listed in the imperial edict. Everyone must act in accordance with the imperial edict, otherwise it will be regarded as rebellion!"
Li Musen laughed when he heard this, "Brother Emperor, is this edict probably fake? The heir to the throne written in the edict should be you, Brother Emperor, right?"
Li Muyi's face changed greatly, "Second brother, what do you mean? You mean to falsely pass on the imperial edict for your brother!"
Li Musen snorted coldly, "I know the truth in my heart. My father was assassinated today, and there is something fishy about it. I will definitely catch the real culprit and kill him with a thousand cuts! I hope that the emperor's brother will not be implicated by then!"
Li Muyi's face turned ugly, and he snorted coldly, "What you do is your business! Your Highness only obeys the orders of my father. Since you are here, you can read out my father's edict!"
Li Musen stared at Li Muyi, and a dozen forbidden soldiers came in and stood behind him, each holding their hands on the hilts of their swords.
Gongsun Yunxiu on the side sighed, just seeing Li Musen coming with his troops, she knew what the other party was thinking.
Turning around, Li Muyi faced an eunuch, stretched out his hand and said, "Father told me that the edict is behind the upright plaque, go and take it down."
The eunuch hurriedly responded and asked for help, and sure enough he found a volume of posthumous edict behind the plaque.
"First Prince, give it!"
Holding the so-called posthumous edict, Li Muyi said, "All officials listen to the edict!"
Immediately everyone knelt down but did not lower their heads and looked at Li Muyi.
Opening the edict, Li Muyi said, "I will carry the emperor to heaven, and the edict says. I am old and have not yet established a heir, so I have established this edict just in case..."
"The eldest prince, Li Muyi, has a perverse personality and is violent, so he is not a candidate for the throne. The second prince, Li Musen, is not very talented and is not the best candidate..."
Hearing that neither he nor Li Muyi was the heir to the throne, Li Musen was stunned. Did he guess wrong? Li Muyi did not make this edict?
Li Muyi said at this time, "The fifth prince, Li Muyuan, is both wise and courageous. He is born smart. I am very happy about him. I hereby issue this edict to appoint the fifth prince, Li Muyuan, as the crown prince. If anything unexpected happens, the fifth prince will succeed to the throne and inherit the throne!"
Li Muyuan and his mother and concubine, who were kneeling on the ground, suddenly raised their heads and were stunned on the spot.
