At this time, Long Junhai said again: "Since the truth has been revealed, Your Majesty, please announce your abdication. After all, your current physical condition is no longer suitable for continuing to work on state affairs. If the illness from overwork recurs, I'm afraid your health will be in trouble!"
The fake emperor was taken aback. After exchanging glances with Long Junhai, he instantly understood a great deal, so he immediately said, "Master Wufan is right. My health is deteriorating day by day, and I am no longer able to manage state affairs. But who will take my place in the management of state affairs?"
"This is very simple. I think Princess Mingyue is quick-witted and intelligent. It is most appropriate for her to take over the important task of the empire." Long Junhai said with a smile.
When these words were spoken, everyone present except Princess Mingyue was stunned, because Princess Mingyue was a woman, and it was very rare for a woman to be the emperor!
However, the fake emperor reacted immediately. He smiled and said, "In that case, let Princess Mingyue inherit the throne!"
"Your Majesty, this matter is probably inappropriate! Because the prince is in good health, has no faults, and has not been deposed, so logically speaking, the prince is the one who should inherit the throne!" Eunuch Zhao is from the prince's family, so naturally he would stop it at this time.
Long Junhai said nothing, but turned to look at Princess Mingyue. Princess Mingyue took a deep breath, then walked up to Eunuch Zhao and said, "Eunuch Zhao, sometimes it depends on a person's ability. Isn't that right?"
"This old servant cannot agree with this. Throughout history, there have been rituals and laws, which have always respected the elders and the young, and men were superior to women, so..."
Before Eunuch Zhao could finish his words, Princess Mingyue pulled out a dagger and stabbed it into his chest. Eunuch Zhao's eyes widened, but he could only fall helplessly in a pool of blood.
Princess Mingyue wiped her hands with a handkerchief and said, "There are always some ignorant people in this world who can't see the situation clearly. They talk about men being superior to women and all living things being equal! This is what the Buddha said, and you dare not agree with it? I can only send you to hell!"
Everyone had no choice but to agree with Princess Mingyue's words, because if they disagreed, the final result would be the same as Eunuch Zhao's!
Only then did Long Junhai smile and say, "Your Majesty, there is no time to lose. Please write the edict immediately, otherwise some people will interfere."
"Oh, yes, yes, I will write the edict right away!" The fake emperor immediately hurried to the desk, wrote the edict, and stamped it with a big seal, then he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Long Junhai brought the imperial edict over to Princess Mingyue, then said to the crowd, "Since this matter has been resolved, we will not disturb the emperor's recuperation any longer. Your Majesty, here is a bottle of Huilong Pill, which was found on the fake emperor. Please see if it can be of any use to you."
When the fake emperor heard the words "Huilongdan", he was extremely excited. He came to Long Junhai's side in an instant and said excitedly: "Master, are you really going to give me this Huilongdan?"
"That's for sure. After all, this is something from that demon, and it should be handed over to the emperor. Besides, it's useless to me. Even if that demon pretending to be the emperor eats a lot of pills, he can never be my opponent. Only true strength is the foundation of everything!"
Long Junhai's words were actually telling the other party to be obedient, otherwise he would never be able to become the emperor! After all, the real emperor had been killed, so why would he care about a fake emperor?
Therefore, this fake emperor really didn't dare to offend Long Junhai. Whatever the other party said was his. Moreover, this Huilong Pill was his only antidote. As long as he took one Huilong Pill, the poison that the emperor had previously given him would be completely expelled! If it weren't for the reason of his own poisoning, how could he, the abbot of Xiangguo Temple, be the emperor's substitute?
But now Long Junhai is also helping him become a real emperor. After all, the real emperor is dead, and the fake one has become real!
Just as Long Junhai and Princess Mingyue were about to leave, the troops from the East and West Palaces rushed in. The Crown Prince was the first to roar, "Your Highness, I am late in protecting you! Please forgive me, Your Majesty! I will kill the traitor and this evil monk right now!"
The prince ordered his men to surround Long Junhai and Princess Mingyue without hesitation. In his opinion, he could chop Long Junhai and Princess Mingyue into meat sauce with just a single order from him!
But at this time, Long Junhai smiled and said to the prince, "Here is the emperor's edict. Princess Mingyue will inherit the throne. You, the crown prince, have been deposed! Even if you weren't deposed, it would be meaningless. Don't you agree?"
"Haha, it's really ridiculous. This edict is totally useless. It was written by you and Princess Mingyue under duress from our father!" The prince had already thought of a plan. Even if the other party had the edict in his hand, it would be useless. Moreover, he is the prince, and everyone knows that he is the heir to the throne!
At this time, Long Junhai smiled faintly, then turned his head to look at the imperial concubine beside him, and then said: "My Lady, do you also think that we coerced the emperor to write a fake edict?"
The Imperial Concubine pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "How is that possible? We are here to protect Princess Mingyue from being harmed by treacherous people! The Empress is so unscrupulous that she found a fake Emperor to make her son the Crown Prince. Now that the truth has been revealed, she wants to kill people to silence them. Although I, the Imperial Concubine, have no talent, I know that I should share the burden of the Emperor's work, so I can't just sit back and watch! Moreover, my two sons are incompetent and unworthy of being used. Princess Mingyue just needs to give them food for the sake of our blood relationship."
The Imperial Concubine had actually given up on her two sons long ago, but in order to survive, she had to fight for the throne. Otherwise, she would be the first one to be beheaded after the Crown Prince ascended the throne!
"What a vicious woman! How dare you slander me! Believe it or not, I will cut off your tongue right now!" The queen was extremely angry. She didn't expect that the imperial concubine would seize the initiative at this time.
"Haha, Queen, you are so majestic! You have all the power in the court and you can cover the sky with one hand. Today, even if I risk my life, I will make you lose your head!" The imperial concubine was not afraid of the other party either, otherwise how could she have fought with the Queen for so many years without being defeated?
But the prince could no longer bear it. He shouted loudly, "Go! Kill them all! Eighty percent of the million elite soldiers in this palace are under my control! Kill anyone who resists!"
The prince shouted, and some people immediately prepared to take action, but Long Junhai smiled and said, "A million elite soldiers only obey the emperor's orders. If you don't believe me, you can give it a try! Let's see who is the rebel in the end and who will be defeated!"
