Chapter 105: Stop Being a Lover and Be a Concubine (Thirty-Two)
When Yu Huo and his sister led their men to the palace, the emperor had already had one of his arms chopped off by the desperate Fifth Prince.
Yu Miao immediately stepped forward and kicked the sword out of the Fifth Prince's hand, then raised his hand and pressed it on the Fifth Prince's neck.
Yu Huo looked at Jiang Ye who was watching everything calmly in the corner and nodded secretly.
At this time, Prince Yan walked into the hall and knelt before the emperor with a plop: "Father! Your arm...I am late."
The emperor smiled weakly and looked at the dejected Fifth Prince.
Unexpectedly, Prince Yan ignored him and took two steps forward on his knees, tears flashing in his eyes: "It's all the fault of the deputy commander. If he hadn't been so slow, your Majesty wouldn't have to suffer this great punishment..."
The wicked are the first to complain!
At this time, the commander of the imperial guards also stepped forward and pointed out: "Your Majesty, Deputy Commander Yu is deliberately delaying time, his intentions are truly sinister!"
After saying this, he glanced meaningfully in the direction of the Fifth Prince.
The next second, his expression froze. He looked up at the beautiful 'woman' in front of him with a stern face, and then slowly looked at his chest.
The blood spurting out made the opponent's face look like a wild ghost, and he was decisive in killing.
The commander of the imperial guards looked at her in astonishment: "You, your legs..."
"Yer, Yeer, your legs..."
A weak cry of surprise came from behind him. Jiang Ye drew his sword, raised his hand and tore off the disguise around his neck. He tilted his head and looked at the aging emperor: "Father, I am Jiang Feng. My eighth sister died a long time ago."
After he finished speaking, he looked back and saw the young man's eyes filled with surprise. His handsome face showed no emotion, and he just stared at his legs in a daze.
Inexplicably, he felt a little frightened, and that fear made him very irritable. Not wanting to argue with the emperor any further, he said expressionlessly, "If Jiang Ye grows up, he should be more like mother than me, right?"
The emperor was stunned. There were too many unexpected events today. First, the fifth prince rebelled, and then Jiang Feng came back from the dead. Each and every one of them was aimed at the throne, which was chilling.
Prince Yan was the first to react. He raised his hand, pointed in Jiang Ye's direction, and shouted, "The Seventh Prince has been disguised as a woman for many years. He has evil ambitions and intends to rebel. The Divine Machine Battalion, listen to my order and kill him on the spot!"
He is scared!
If the person in front of him was really the Seventh Prince, then the current situation would be extremely unfavorable to him. The commander of the Imperial Guards was dead, and the Imperial Guards were now controlled by that little bitch Yu Miao, who obeyed her every word. If he didn't seize the initiative at this moment, he would definitely be the one to die.
Just as he was filled with fear, the sharp arrow was pointing towards him.
The commander of the Shenji Camp frowned at him and sneered, "It's you, Prince Yan, who has the most evil ambitions. If it weren't for the Prince Consort and Guard Captain Yu who disobeyed your orders and insisted on marching, Your Majesty wouldn't have just lost an arm. In my opinion, the one with the most evil ambitions is you, Prince Yan!"
After doing all this, the commander of the Shenji Camp glanced at the young man playing with the jade ring, then looked away without saying anything more.
The civil servants in the entire hall were so frightened by the twists and turns of events that they were unable to recover and their minds were in a mess.
Jiang Feng on the other side walked forward leisurely, took out a blank imperial edict from the table, and at the same time snatched the jade seal from the emperor's personal eunuch's arms.
He bent down and smiled, "Father, I am the legitimate son. If you want to pass on the throne, it should be to me."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and looked at the ministers in the hall, ignoring the pale emperor.
Suddenly, the northern officials who had come forward this year because of the North-South split knelt on the ground and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, please appoint a crown prince as soon as possible to consolidate the foundation of the country!"
Minister Yu glanced at his son, stepped forward, bowed, and shouted, "Your Majesty, today's dispute arose because the position of Crown Prince remains vacant. Please appoint a successor as soon as possible to strengthen the foundation of the country!"
As he emerged, officials who were dependent on his family and those who had been promoted through the imperial examinations responded with shouts: "Your Majesty, please appoint a crown prince as soon as possible to strengthen the foundation of the country!"
Someone wanted to object. The followers of Prince Yan took two steps forward and were about to speak when a shadow guard quickly appeared in the hall and killed the official with a single blow.
After that, a long silence began in the hall. The annoyance in the emperor's eyes gradually faded away. Looking at Jiang Feng's intact legs, he sighed softly, and actually endured the severe pain to start writing the edict to establish the prince.
After putting the imperial seal on the table, he raised his head and actually laughed: "I also fought my way to the throne. Feng'er, even if you hate me, you are the most like me..."
Jiang Feng took the imperial edict and handed over another blank imperial edict: "There is also an imperial edict of succession."
The emperor's smile froze on his lips.
Jiang Feng chuckled: "I'm different from you. I'm much more ruthless than you."
After he finished speaking, he lowered his eyes to look at the man with the broken arm, his eyes flickering: "Father, you are old..."
**
The situation on Decheng Mountain was precarious. When everything settled down, the news of Jiang Feng's succession to the throne spread throughout the streets and alleys.
Many officials who did not join the autumn hunt were still confused, but the army had already returned to the imperial city in a mighty manner.
Soon, the succession ceremony began in the palace.
Jiang Feng, dressed in a black and red court robe and a jade crown on his head, walked step by step past the officials. When he passed someone, he paused slightly and subconsciously stretched out his hand.
The surrounding officials looked up in surprise. Before they could come to their senses, they saw a young man in the uniform of a second-rank imperial guard deputy commander kneeling on one knee, lowering his eyes and saying in a loud voice, "Your Highness!"
The palm suspended in mid-air paused slightly, and a trace of sadness appeared on the beautiful face behind the jade crown. The voice trembled slightly: "You are angry because of my deception, right?"
Yu Huo didn't raise his head and said stiffly, "I dare not."
"You dare, I give you this privilege."
The two asked and answered each other, and the atmosphere was weird.
Yu Kangping tilted his head in disbelief, his handsome face showing confusion and...bewilderment.
Yu Huo rolled his eyes secretly and said in a cold voice: "Your Majesty, the court officials are still waiting. Please don't waste my time here for no reason."
This is extremely disrespectful.
The moody emperor did not get angry, but lowered his head and replied softly: "Okay, I will do as you say, my dear."
Everyone: “…”
When the coronation ceremony was over, the newly appointed chief eunuch Sun came out to read the imperial edict.
Since the emperor is the retired emperor, the deceased queen was naturally posthumously named the empress dowager.
It goes without saying that several people from the Wan family were promoted to important positions. Thanks to the merits of the Yu brothers and sisters, Yu Huo was promoted like a rocket to the position of first-rank commander of the imperial guards before he was even twenty-one years old.
Yu Miao followed closely behind as deputy commander-in-chief and was also granted a mansion. This was much more important than the oral order of the late emperor. She was truly a second-rank female general, and it was well-deserved!
Then, Yu Kangping, who had served as the Minister of Revenue for more than ten years, was promoted to the first-rank Minister of the Central Secretariat. The most puzzling thing was that the emperor finally conferred the super-rank title of Lady Protector of the Country on the old lady of the Yu family!
No one understood the emperor's intention, but Yu Huo knew that this guy had bad intentions and secretly curled his lips.
After the court session, Yu Huo ran away in a flash. Eunuch Sun, who was behind him, was chasing him breathlessly but couldn't catch up. The other party's long legs were moving so fast that he disappeared outside the palace gate in an instant.
