The beaded curtain ht scattered in all directions like the eer stared icily at Shu Wu and said each word clearly, ”Shu the Scholar, lying about an edict is the great crihtlyAfter aKingdoh he was faced by the eive an inch
The eer stretched out an old and withered hand and slowly pushed open the beaded curtainShe walked out froon chairThe Crown Prince quickly went to support her
”The E Mountain due to the secret collusion between the Overwatch Council Coyi to kill himThe incident happened abruptlyHow could there be any posthuer stared into Shu Wu's eyes with exceptional calmness”If there is one, where is it now?”
Shu Wu's heart juer's words were pushi+ng hihed and replied, ”The posthumous edict is presently in the hands of the Duke of Danbo”
After these words were uttered, cla of the Crown Prince's ascension, Fan Xian's cri him to an endless abyssNo one would have expected that Shu the Scholar would suddenly bring up a posthumous edict or that the edict was in the hands of Sir Fan junior
The ehedShe looked at Shu Wu and said, ”Is that so? Fan Xian is an imperial criminal indicted forhim for dou, yet you seem very clearHow come you know about the posthuround and said with deep pain, ”The E Mountain and all mournedHowever, in less than half a month, the military and provinces all say that it was the work of the Duke of DanboI know the character of the Duke of Danbo very wellI am certain that he would not dare do such an evil actAs for the matter of the posthumous edict, it is indeed realI have seen it personally”
The Crown Prince's hands were icy coldThe depths of his heart was chilledHe had never thought that before the incident at Dong Mountain happened, his father would have left a posthumous edictOne did not need a brain to know the contents of the posthumous edictThe Crown Prince suddenly felt a sense of cold sorrowIt seemed that his father had hated hier, but a bitter sy had been stretched to the breaking pointOtherwise, she would not haveof this er, what need was there for her to be ensnared in such details with an old official? Since the topic had been opened, if he wanted to successfully sit on the dragon chair, he had to get rid of the posthumous edict that suddenly appeared
”Fan Xian colluded with Sigu JianThat is a great evil”
The Crown Prince looked at the officials below and slowly said, ”Usually, Fan Xian is skilled in dressing hiood reputationShu the Scholar, do not be fooled by such wicked peopleIf father truly left a posthumous edict, then as his son, I wish desperately to be able to see father's oriting”
The Crown Prince's voice carried a glimmer of sorrowThe officials below all offered words of comfortHe took the opportunity to co of his words were very clearA posthuedShu Wu, you are part of the ruling faction in the Hall of Governs with the imperial criminal Fan Xian?
The Crown Prince looked at Shu Wu and frowned, ”I have always deeply respected your character, but what I have seen and heard today has truly disappointed meTo secretly protect a court indicted imperial criardToday, you have been muddle-headed and maliciousHoill you have face to see radually becaan to infect all the officials in the Palace along with the words in his mouth
”Shu the Scholar, collusion with a court indicted i false claims about the previous Emperor's edict… Soe, hold hi!”
As these words were said, cla officials knew that when it caentleness to speak of, particularly for Shu the Scholar, who had brought out the posthumous edict with unusual forceThe Crown Prince had to choose the bloodiest entle Crown Prince would, in an instant, demonstrate a tyrannical air similar to that of the recently deceased Emperor
It was like there was a wooden fish in everyone's heart that was being gently struck by a wooden ha soundBecause of Shu Wu's sorrowful cry, the Crown Prince's process of ascension had been forcefully interruptedAll of the officials had already stood upThe wide sleeves of the black or white plain robes fluttered weaklyEveryone was open-eyed and dumbstruckNo words ca gently
Inside the expansive Taiji Palace, all of the officials were completely silentThey watched as a few eunuchs took Shu the Scholar's armsAt the same time, they saw that outside of Taiji Palace there were uards in the Palace, the ones ore short straight knivesAll the officials knew that if things rong, itwith blood splattered across the hed bitterly and did not offer a shred of resistanceHe allowed the eunuchs at his side to bind his armsHe had done what he had to doIf, at this er's ht, the Crown Prince's position, and Eldest Princess's power and reood would it do even if he did take out the posthuer said the posthumous edict was fake, ould dare say it was real?
He shook his head and glanced at the ehed in his heartWhy did Fan Xian refuse to use the posthuht, if they had made contact with the various officials and had the Emperor's posthumous edict to protect theIt would not be like it was today, with hi Emperor's handwritten letter and posthuer into the basin and burnedWhat had burned was only a piece of white paper in the envelope and Shu the Scholar's last piece of hope in the eer
The eunuchs half supported and half escorted Shu Wu out of the Palace, where the guards aiting surrounded by an aura of death
The Crown Prince let out a slight breathIn the end, the stubborn civil officials still bowed to the ht of the royal familyThey would not be overly ihtly calmerShe wished to have Shu Wu, that unreasonable old ed out so that the Crown Prince's ascension cereed out wretchedlyAs he was dragged out, the old ht to himself that with his reputation present, he may not be immediately killedOnce the Crown Prince was firon chair, would a cup of poisoned wine or a length of while silk greet hih ca at the head of the civil officials, the leading scholar of the Hall of Governdom's new literature movement, the man who had a pure reputation: Hu the Scholar
Hu the Scholar looked at Shu Wu and shook his head with a bitter smileHe then broke rank, knelt, koed, raised his head, and opened his hness to call back your edict”
Claer's expression changed slightlyThe hand hidden inside her sleeve shook a littleShe had not expected that Hu the Scholar would stand outRegardless of how friendly he ith Shu Wu in private, when it the time for the nation to pass on the sacred throne, this Hu the Scholar…
Hu the Scholar lowered his headThe three-inch beard on his chin was very calm as he said, ”Since His Majesty has a posthuer announce it to the hall”
Without waiting for the eer and Crown Prince to speak, Hu the Scholar continued with his head lowered, ”There areMountain incidentIf the Duke of Danbo has already returned to the capital, then he should be immediately summoned in to present the posthumous edictFor the matter of rebellion, it is for the three departments to question itHow could it be carelessly decided by military reports? The life and death of the Emperor is a major matterUntil now, there has been no body, no reply froer Guards, and the Overwatch Council is aquicker and quickerEven the e
”I believe that the ht now is to learn the truth of what happened at Dong MountainThe only person who knows the truth is the Duke of Danbo”
”Whether the posthumous edict is real or false, it needs to be looked atWhether or not the Duke of Danbo should be sentenced to death by a thousand cuts, it can only be discussed after he has been captured”
