Chapter 598 Invite His Highness the Crown Prince to be seated
The situation is stronger than the people. No matter how unwilling Mr. Dong Ge is, he can only put down his posture at this time.
Especially when Mr. Chu Ge walked in from outside the palace with a serious face, many officials among the hundreds of officials followed him automatically. Mr. Dong Ge understood even more that the situation was over.
As soon as Mr. Dong Ge's attitude changed, the atmosphere in the entire Siqin Palace became particularly harmonious.
Mr. Chuge solemnly took out Emperor Wu's edict and read it out.
The same thing, in the hands of different people at different times, gets completely different reactions.
"The imperial edict of Emperor Wu is indeed true." Mr. Dong Ge was the first to come forward to admit. "Just now, I urgently mobilized manpower to conduct a thorough investigation of the Hanlin Academy and discovered the archive of the imperial edict hidden in the secret room of the Imperial Academy, which is enough to prove that this matter is true."
Then the evidence was presented one by one, and even the officials who had doubts were silenced.
What's more, the four pavilion elders present now all expressed their agreement with Emperor Wu's edict. Even the officials who had doubts did not dare to openly oppose it.
"In this case, the great unification has returned to the lineage of Emperor Wu, and His Royal Highness King Li should be regarded as the crown prince, retracing the path of Zhao and Mu, and then dealing with human relations." Mr. Chu Ge bowed to Qin Xinglie with a serious face, "Please enthrone His Highness the Prince!
"
"Your Highness, please ascend the throne!" All the officials followed and bowed to sing in unison.
Qin Xinglie shook Gu Zhao's hand, strode up the steps, slowly turned around, looked down at the ministers, and then sat on the golden dragon chair in the middle of the hall.
"Impossible!" Qin Youjin shouted, "This is impossible!"
He was still secretly rejoicing just now that Emperor Wu's edict was proven to be a forgery, and no other clan members were as close in blood as him and Emperor Linde. Seeing that the luck of his previous life was about to repeat itself, Qin Youjin had already arranged the fate of various people in his heart.
For example, Gu Zhao betrayed herself, coveted wealth, and married Qin Xinglie, a violent and unruly vassal king. Of course, she would be strangled little by little along with Qin Xinglie;
Take Lin Xuerong, for example, who harbors evil intentions and speaks sweet words but never gets fooled again in this life. After he ascends the throne, he will push her to the bottom of Yeting, making her spend the rest of her life in regret and toil;
For example, Lu Qi betrayed his trust and couldn't even raise cranes, which put him in danger. He must demote Lu Qi and exile him, and let Lu Qi go to a remote place to raise cranes for the rest of his life!
Who would have known that before he had finished arranging so many people, things would take such a turn for the worse - was Emperor Wu's edict true? How could this be possible?
This never happened in my previous life!
How could something like Emperor Wu's edict suddenly pop up, such a flimsy forged imperial edict, denying the possibility of their lineage inheriting the throne!
If the late emperor was convicted of treason and rebellion, then who would he be, the late emperor's son?
Qin Youjin was angry and frightened, and mustered up the courage to speak out against "Emperor Wu's edict is unheard of, so it would be a bit hasty to confirm it like this?"
Mr. Chu Ge and Mr. Dong Ge both looked at him coldly and had no intention of explaining to Qin Youjin.
Qin Xinglie held the mask in his hand and didn't even look at Qin Youjin.
Naturally, some of the officials below stood up and scolded Qin Youjin: "The King of Xinyang County, all the ministers and the academicians of the Hanlin Academy have confirmed that the handwriting of Emperor Wu's edict is correct, the seal is authentic, the archives are complete, and there are witnesses here, so there is no doubt.
"
"You said it was careless, so what evidence do you have?"
Qin Youjin didn't have any evidence. He only remembered that in his previous life, Qin Youzhen and several other brothers died together, and Emperor Shouzheng couldn't survive, so he naturally became the prince and then ascended to the throne.
"There is no such thing as the Emperor Wu's edict!" he shouted with a blushing face. "The late emperor's ascension to the great treasure was his destiny!"
"How can you slander the late emperor based on such a piece of cloth that you don't know whether it is true or false? For such a big matter and such a hasty matter, have you colluded long ago?"
An impatient censor had already jumped out: "Prince of Xinyang County, you are acting surly. When Emperor Shouzheng was alive, you disobeyed your father and danced with a dead crane. You have evil intentions and bad morals. You should have been deprived of the title of king long ago."
Relegated to common people!"
"If Emperor Linde hadn't killed the murderer, concealed his guilty conscience, and restored your title, you wouldn't even be qualified to appear in the palace at this moment, so why would you have the face to talk nonsense here?"
Immediately, many officials responded and impeached Qin Youjin for various inappropriate behaviors.
For a time, Qin Youjin was criticized both verbally and writtenly. Even things like stealing food from the kitchen in the palace when he was a child were exposed and elevated to a moral level.
"I believe that Qin Youjin is a descendant of thieves with a perverse character and is unfit to be a king. I would like to ask His Highness the Crown Prince to depose him as a king and demote him to a commoner to set the record straight." Mr. Dong Ge concluded his speech.
"I second the proposal."
"I second the proposal."
Qin Youjin's face turned pale as he listened to a series of "I second my opinions" and he almost lost his balance.
Is it just such a short period of time to fall from the peak of great joy to the bottom of great sorrow?
Just now he thought he was going to be the lord of the world, but now, is he going to become the lowest commoner?
"No! No!" Qin Youjin ran forward like crazy. The people in control of Hesi had been wary of his movements, so they stepped forward and pushed him to the ground.
Qin Youjin lay on the ground, feeling sad: "You took everything away, didn't you even give me a way to survive?"
If he can't be the emperor, shouldn't he be able to keep a Xinyang County Prince for him?
Without the royal title and the imperial salary, what would he do for a living?
With tears in his eyes, Qin Youjin looked up and saw Gu Zhao standing at the foot of the steps, wearing a new colorful crane suit with bright colors.
