Chapter 494: Posthumous Edict(2/2)
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 I'm going 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
