At this moment, Admiral Shang looked serious. He waved his hand, and the guards immediately dispersed and stood in various positions in the main hall.

The ministers dared not utter a sound. It seemed that an important figure was about to appear, but it didn't seem like the emperor. The emperor wouldn't need to act like this when holding court.

Just as the officials were puzzled, someone outside the hall shouted: "The Eighth Prince has arrived."

Who is the Eighth Prince? In everyone's mind, there is no such thing as the Eighth Prince. Could it be that crazy and stupid Eighth Prince?

People instinctively turned their heads to look outside the hall, at which point a person strode in.

After several days of adjustment, Yelü Lang's personal condition has been greatly improved. The prince who had been pretending to be crazy a few days ago is gone. What appears before everyone is a handsome and refined man.

Yelü Lang is only in his early thirties this year. Although he has been pretending to be crazy, he is still well-maintained. His appearance in the main hall this time was truly stunning.

Yelü Lang arrived at the main hall, faced the crowd, and began to speak:

"I am Yelü Lang, and I'm sure you are all familiar with me. I am here today on the orders of my elder brother, Yelü Khan, to read the late emperor's edict to all the ministers. Please listen to my pronouncement."

Upon hearing this, all the officials in the hall immediately knelt down and shouted, "Long live the Emperor!"

Yelü Lang then took out something, unfolded it, and began to read it aloud.

"The late emperor's will passed the throne to the second prince, Yelü Khan. This is the imperial decree."

The late emperor's edict was very brief, but it explained everything clearly, and no one dared to question it.

"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!" The crowd kowtowed in gratitude.

This was actually Yelü Khan's coronation ceremony, but the ceremony was not so complicated; it was very simple.

Yelü Lang read the aloud from above, while Grand Commandant Lei led the assembled officials below to cooperate.

Next, Yelü Lang introduced some information about Yelü Khan. He said that his return to Yanjing to take charge of the government was entirely a divine mandate, in accordance with the will of the people, to save the common people from suffering.

After the introductions, Yelü Lang said, "Please welcome the new emperor, Yelü Khan, to the palace to assume the throne."

As soon as Yelü Lang finished speaking, a group of people walked up from below the hall. Yelü Khan walked in front, followed by some old ministers, most of whom were old ministers who had followed the late emperor.

This was the first time in many years that Yelü Khan and some of his senior officials had come to the court again.

Yelü Khan arrived at the main hall and sat directly on the throne. All the ministers, led by Grand Commandant Lei, knelt down before Yelü Khan and performed the ritual of three kneelings and nine kowtows.

After the ceremony, everyone stood in the main hall. At this moment, everyone still had a question in their minds: Now that Yelü Khan had ascended the throne, what would happen to Yelü Wu, and where was he now?

At this moment, the emperor looked down at the hall and said, "Is General Ge present?"

“Your humble servant is here.” Ge Kaishan stepped forward.

Some ministers in the court knew Ge Kaishan. He had previously been a general under Kulituo, but after Kulituo's defeat, Ge Kaishan disappeared. Unexpectedly, he has now appeared in the court.

"General Ge, I have a letter here. Take this letter with you to the border to find Marshal Han and General Li Guang, and ask them to withdraw the 300,000 troops from the foreign country."

"Your humble servant obeys the decree."

After Ge Kaishan finished speaking, he took the letter handed to him by Yelü Khan and turned to leave the main hall.

Everyone was astonished. The 300,000-strong army of the Northern Dynasty was pressing on the border, but it was easily resolved by Yelü Khan with just a letter. Was this true or false?

However, everyone knew that Yelü Khan's reclaiming of the throne was aided by divine intervention, leaving no room for doubt. As for his letter, which could repel an army of 300,000, it was entirely believable.

Meanwhile, Yelü Wu, who was hiding in his palace, was finally informed that the rebels had been quelled and he could attend court.

Only then did Yelü Wu order the palace gates opened, and he hurriedly rushed towards the main hall with several eunuchs.

The distance from the sleeping quarters to the main hall was not far. Yelü Wu looked around and saw that there were fully armed guards everywhere. He was eager to know what had just happened, and his pace quickened.

Outside the main hall was a long corridor, which was usually unguarded, with only some low-ranking officials standing there. But at this moment, Yelü Wu did not see a single official, but rather guards every three steps and every five steps.

Yelü Wu was a little nervous about what had happened here. He wanted to get to the main hall as soon as possible and ask what had happened.

There was a side door in the main hall, which was the emperor's private passage for holding court, and no one else was allowed to approach. As soon as Yelü Wu arrived at the side door, he was stopped by several guards who would not allow him to get closer.

Before Yelü Wu could say anything, a eunuch beside him started shouting.

"How dare you! This is the Emperor's private passage for attending court. How dare you block the Emperor from entering the main hall?"

Several guards stood motionless at the door, neither arguing with the eunuchs nor treating them as if they were invisible.

There must be a special situation today. This place is closed to traffic, probably to protect the safety of the emperor and his ministers. In that case, let's enter through the main gate of the hall.

Yelü Wu immediately turned around, went to the main entrance of the hall, and stepped inside.

After walking a few steps, Yelü Wu discovered that someone was sitting on the throne, and the prince's ministers were standing below with their heads bowed and ears tucked in. He was furious.

"Who dares to sit on the throne? Take this person down."

After Yelü Wu finished speaking, he waited for the guards to step forward and remove the person sitting on the throne, but his words received no response. All the ministers lowered their heads and did not even dare to look at him.

Seeing this, Yelü Wu was stunned. Why were his words not working today? What was going on?

He turned his gaze back to the throne, carefully examining the person seated there, and was greatly surprised.

"Brother, it's you!"

"You only recognize me now? Are you surprised? The news of my impending return to power has been known throughout the land for some time now."

From north to south, I've traveled all this way; don't you know anything about it?

"Of course I've heard about it. Currently, foreign enemies are invading, and the Great Northern Dynasty has 300,000 troops pressing on the border. I didn't expect my brother to come and vie for the throne at this time." Yelü Wu's voice was clearly less confident at this moment.

Upon hearing this, Yelü Khan couldn't help but sneer and said:

"The ancestral lands were secretly ordained to be passed to me by the late emperor, but you, in your struggle for the throne, killed your father and brother."

You thought you were doing everything without anyone knowing, but little did you know that your eighth brother, Yelü Lang, saw everything clearly.

Therefore, you wanted to kill your eighth brother, but he was very clever and pretended to be insane, thus fooling you and escaping death.

“You’re talking nonsense. That’s completely untrue. When did the late emperor leave a secret edict? When did I ever harm my eighth brother?” Yelü Wu began to argue vehemently.

Yelü Khan sighed, stood up, stepped down, looked at his ministers, and said:

"My ministers, please excuse my rudeness. To be honest, family scandals should not be aired in public, but the scars of the Yelü family still need to be exposed."

Today, in this great hall, I will speak of this matter and let all my ministers know the truth of what happened more than ten years ago.
