Zhang Tan came out of the palace, and the officials who were unwilling to accept this imperial edict seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw.
"Zhang Xiang!"
However, Zhang Tan did not say anything. He only nodded to Prince Fu and the other ministers of the Political Affairs Hall and said: "The Si Yamen still have some affairs that have not been taken care of. Since we have to establish a heir apparent, I will go back and make preparations first."
After that, he didn't wait for a response and walked past the officials without squinting, his figure disappearing into the night.
The night wind was blowing, and the large official robes were fluttering, giving him an inexplicable dark temperament.
Guo Xu's brows jumped and he shouted again: "The Holy Spirit is here, why don't you bow down?"
Zhang Tan had already left, and seemed to recognize him.
The situation was over, and finally someone couldn't stand it anymore and knelt down: "Long live, long live, long live."
One person knelt down, and then the other knelt down one after another.
"I obey the decree, long live long live long live."
The sound of the mountain call resounded through Taiyuan Palace and spread throughout the entire palace.
Wait until dawn, the edict of passing the throne will be announced to the world, and there will be no changes.
…
When Eunuch Liu came over, Guo Xu avoided anyone and said hurriedly: "Quickly, inform His Highness! Zhang Tan's behavior is suspicious. You must be careful on the way into the palace! This is the last step. We must not fail in our efforts."
"Don't worry." Eunuch Liu said softly, "I will go in person."
Guo Xu nodded. Although he had full confidence in Yang Shu, this matter was too important and he couldn't help but feel uneasy.
As long as the last step is completed, he, Lao Guo, will be the first to support him! Even if Fu Jin has been in control of the overall situation for several years, he still has to give in.
Guo Xu was full of ambition. As a civil servant, what could be more exciting than helping an emperor with his own hands?
…
Yang Shu stretched out his hand to catch a falling leaf.
"Is there no news yet? Are you sure nothing happened in the palace?"
Just as Fu Jin was about to reply, the rapid sound of horse hooves could be heard outside Prince Yue's palace.
"Report——" the knight's voice came from far away, "The Holy One has decreed that the King of Yue be made the crown prince!"
Fu Jin couldn't help but show joy on his face and shouted: "Your Highness, did you hear it? It's done! Prime Minister Guo and the imperial concubine are finally done!"
Yang Shu loosened his hands, and the fallen leaves fell to the ground. He stared blankly at the entrance of the palace.
Has it really happened? So now he is...
Ah Xuan hurried up and arrived before anyone else arrived: "Your Highness, did you hear it? The imperial edict of passing the throne has been issued, and you are now the crown prince!"
Mingwei let out a sigh of relief.
After five years, we have finally reached this point.
The future has changed, and Daqi will not be in that situation again.
She calmed down and held Yang Shu's hand: "Let's go downstairs to receive the order."
Yang Shu finally came to his senses and nodded.
Eunuch Liu quickly walked into the palace, looked at everyone, nodded slightly, and said: "The King of Yue has received the order."
Yang Shu straightened his clothes and knelt down and knelt: "Your Majesty, Jiang Yan, accept the order."
Eunuch Liu unfolded the imperial edict, read it quickly, and then said: "Your Highness, King of Yue, change your clothes quickly and enter the palace to express your gratitude!"
"Father-in-law, please wait a moment."
Yang Shu went inside to change his clothes, and Eunuch Liu was invited to the inner room.
"Eunuch." Mingwei saluted.
Eunuch Liu did not dare to accept her courtesy and hurriedly got out of the way. The throne of King Yue had been decided, and he would be his master from now on.
Mingwei asked: "Is everything okay in the palace? The imperial concubine..."
Eunuch Liu replied: "Miss Mingqi, don't worry, the imperial concubine is fine. This time..."
He quickly recounted what happened in the palace: "...That's about it. Zhang Tan has already left the palace. Looking at him, he must be unwilling to fail. Your Highness must be careful when entering the palace."
.”
Mingwei looked at Fu Jin.
Fu Jin smiled and said: "Don't be anxious, I have already made arrangements."
Mingwei naturally believed him, but after a little consideration, she said: "I will also go into the palace with you, just in case."
Fu Jin nodded lightly: "It's better this way. If our guess is true, Prime Minister Zhang may have to give it a try."
Ming smiled and said: "He has been hiding for so long, and it's time to reveal his true face. But I don't know what kind of person this White Tiger Star Officer is. Looking at his behavior, he is too straightforward, and his tricks are far inferior to those of Mr. and Mr. Guo. Maybe
That’s what he’s good at.”
Fu Jin didn't think it was a bad idea, he was even a little proud: "Who said it wasn't? I didn't expect it to go so smoothly."
"This also indicates that the road to the palace may be more difficult than imagined." Ming Wei said, "He must be outstanding in being able to hold the throne of God today."
Yang Shu finished changing his clothes and came out.
Wearing a prince's python robe made him look even more handsome.
Mingwei looked at him like this and couldn't help but think of the last scene in his previous life.
In this life, he will no longer die alone, alone on Mang Mountain, waiting for the opportunity that will come when he doesn't know when.
"What's wrong?" Yang Shu looked down at himself, "Is there something wrong?"
"No." Mingwei reached out and touched the cinnabar mole between his eyebrows, "This mole is a bit annoying. When we come back, we will remove it."
Yang Shu laughed: "Okay."
This mole was originally meant to cover the face, but it is no longer needed now.
Three years ago, he got his name back.
And now, he will get his own face back.
This is the real Jiang Yan.
Yang Shu arrived at the front yard.
Two young generals were already waiting there.
Seeing them, he bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, Di Fan and Ni Jun, see His Highness the King of Yue!"
Yang Shu raised his hand, motioned for them to stand up, and asked: "You came here specifically to escort me?"
"Yes." Di Fan replied, "Mr. Fu has already given instructions. The two ministers have been waiting nearby. Whenever His Highness is in need, they will be there immediately."
Yang Shu smiled and nodded: "That's good work."
Di Fan said sternly: "It is my honor to escort His Highness through the last part of the journey!"
Ni Jun responded: "I am the same!"
Yang Shu nodded: "Then let's go!"
"yes!"
Di Fan and Ni Jun took the first step and walked out of the palace gate, leading their imperial troops to open the way ahead.
The guards of the palace looked neat and tidy, holding Yang Shu in the middle.
Mingwei also got on the horse and followed beside him.
"Set off!"
Following Ah Xuan's command, the team headed towards the palace gate.
Fu Jin stood at the door and watched them go away.
…
Zhang Tan stood on the roof, his purple official robe had been replaced by black clothes.
Without the official hat, his demeanor has completely changed.
He is no longer the unworthy Prime Minister Zhang, but a mysterious master full of murderous spirit.
In the dark night, several figures rose and fell lightly, and finally stopped beside him: "I see you, Star Officer."
Zhang Tan did not turn around, looked at the road from Prince Yue's Mansion to the Royal Palace, and asked, "Is everyone here?"
"Everyone in the capital is here." one of them replied.
Zhang Tan nodded: "Twenty-four years have passed since the White Tiger lineage has been incognito for twenty-four years. It's time to show off its sharp claws."
"yes!"
The sound of horse hoofbeats was heard in my ears, and the guards of Prince Yue's Mansion appeared at the other end of the road.
Zhang Tan clenched the knife in his hand and shouted: "Go!" (To be continued)
