Just when everyone thought that Guyue Kingdom was hopeless, news that shocked everyone came out from the palace.
The emperor's imperial edict has been found!
As a result, a morning court without a leader began. The ministers who were concerned about this matter gathered in the court hall early, while Tang Bing stood in his corner as always.
Under everyone's gaze, Manager Fan presented the imperial edict he found to Shen Qiandong.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, according to the late emperor's decree, you are the only person who can read out the imperial edict."
Standing respectfully in front of Shen Qiandong, Manager Fan lowered his head. For a moment, Shen Qiandong became the focus of everyone's attention.
Stretching out her slightly trembling hand, Shen Qiandong swallowed her saliva and slowly picked up the imperial edict. It was well sealed and indeed not fake...
The imperial edict was unfolded bit by bit, and the contents inside slowly came into Shen Qiandong's eyes. At the same time, Shen Qiandong's expression changed again and again.
First he frowned, then sighed, and finally turned into full horror.
While horrified, Shen Qiandong looked up at Tang Bing, who was standing in the corner, and fell into a state of confusion.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, you should tell me what is written in the imperial edict. There are so many people waiting!"
Really unable to hold it in any longer, the people below asked directly, and a single stone stirred up waves. Everyone began to urge Shen Qiandong, and only the academician had a bad feeling in his heart.
After swallowing, Shen Qiandong slowly read out the contents of the imperial edict.
The general meaning of the emperor's imperial edict can be divided into three paragraphs.
First of all, the prince is the first heir. If there are no special circumstances, the prince will become the next emperor.
It's a pity that this special situation has arisen, and the prince is stupid...
Then, after the crown prince, the person with the second inheritance qualification is the third prince Gu Li. Unfortunately, now Gu Li has been given death by the queen...
Next is the third part, which is also the part that makes Shen Qiandong completely confused.
The general meaning of this part is also quite terrifying...
The emperor said that he had left a child among the people in his early years, but due to many reasons, he did not bring the woman into the palace in the end. The child was just a one-time relationship. If something happened to both princes, that would be God is willing to give this child a chance.
And this child’s pseudonym is Tang Bing!
The characteristic is a heart-shaped birthmark on the shoulder!
When Shen Qiandong finished reading, everyone's eyes focused on Tang Bing, and the sounds of swallowing could be heard one after another.
Under everyone's gaze, Tang Bing slowly took off his shirt, revealing the heart-shaped birthmark on his left shoulder.
The meaning is obvious!
I'm that kid!
Now I am the only one qualified to inherit the throne!
"Can I take orders now?"
As Tang Bing spoke, he slowly walked up to Shen Qiandong, but Shen Qiandong was completely unresponsive. Now he had already panicked...
"Why, is Prime Minister Shen going to violate my father's will?"
Speaking coldly, Tang Bing pulled Shen Qiandong's consciousness back. With a slight surge of mental power, Shen Qiandong slowly raised his hand and handed the imperial edict to Tang Bing.
"Meet the prince!"
A minister below immediately knelt down, and then the rest of the people knelt down one after another like dominoes.
In the end, even Shen Qiandong and Hou Jin were no exception.
"Everyone, come on, I'm not quite used to it yet. I hope you can give me some time. I won't let you down!"
Tang Bing said calmly, this trick of playing hard to get was quite slippery.
"The country cannot live without a king for a day. We also ask the new prince to start enthroning the throne as soon as possible to save Gu Yue from the fire and water!"
Manager Fan, who was kneeling next to Tang Bing, spoke loudly, setting off a wave of rhythm.
Immediately afterwards, a similar voice sounded. Shen Qiandong and Hou Jin, who were also on the side, wanted to refute, but could not find the right words.
Whatever he says now is against the will. The imperial edict is confirmed by Shen Qiandong himself to be true, which is equivalent to him blocking an escape route.
"I will adapt as soon as possible. Ascension to the throne is not a small matter, and I can only be justified after announcing it to the whole country. Everything will take time to prepare. I also hope that you can help me. When the day comes, I, the ancient soldier, will thank you one by one!"
Tang Bing has changed his name. It is also because of this name that the ministers below buried their heads even deeper...
The strange morning ended with this. Under Tang Bing's own arrangements, the news that could shock anyone quickly spread throughout the country.
Naturally, Bai Xiaofei also knew.
Moreover, even if he didn't know, Shen Qiandong's visit was enough for him to find out everything. To this, Bai Xiaofei's reply to Shen Qiandong was only one word.
"wait!"
This word was what Shen Qiandong was most afraid of. The longer he waited, the more flustered he became.
To be honest, he didn't believe in the content of the imperial edict, but he couldn't find any chance to make a comeback, otherwise he wouldn't come to Bai Xiaofei again.
Just as Bai Xiaofei, Qin Lingyan and others were describing the new situation, Tang Bing also ushered in a discussion.
"What are you going to do about Bai Xiaofei? He will probably come out to cause trouble."
The person sitting on the main seat was not Tang Bing, but an old man with white beard and hair. He looked like a fairy in plain clothes.
"He would like to, but he can't find the cause of trouble at all. Everything has been arranged. Now most of the people in the court belong to me!"
Tang Bing sneered and looked like he was sure of victory.
"What about the Wind and Thunder Thieves? Don't forget the mission assigned to you by the headquarters."
The old man spoke coldly, as if he didn't care about Tang Bing's face at all. Others present did not dare to say a word and could only stand and listen.
"Don't worry, the day I ascend the throne is when the Wind and Thunder Bandits will be completely destroyed. I will make them the sacrifices for my flag!"
Tang Bing clenched his fists and smiled again.
Everything is going according to his rhythm. As long as the time comes and the east wind blows, nothing can be stopped!
"Young people, never be too confident, otherwise it will be very painful if you fall!"
The old man's voice was still cold, and Tang Bing frowned as the basin of cold water poured over him.
Damn it, if it weren't for your old guy's grandmaster-level strength, I would kill you right now!
Tang Bing said viciously in his heart, but a flattering smile appeared on his face.
"Old Zhang's lesson is that I will be careful and ask for your help when the time comes. Those who want to retain Fenglei and Xingluo cannot do without your help, Mr. Zhang."
Tang Bing said and cupped his hands, and the old man slowly closed his eyes.
