Everyone also angrily rebuked Queen Mother Yin, "Now the emperor is in power, the court is clear and bright, and the people live in peace. You forged the imperial edict at this time. Aren't you afraid that the late emperor will not be able to rest in peace in the nine springs?"
"Forged imperial edict? May I ask, Your Majesty, you personally put this imperial edict into the coffin, and you personally embroidered the cloud embroidery on it. Do you recognize it, Your Majesty?"
Concubine Liu was very imposing, but the Empress Dowager had a gloomy face and said nothing.
Back then, although the late emperor was infatuated with Concubine Liu, he also respected her very much. No matter how Concubine Liu made a fuss, she could not shake her position as queen. And the emperor was personally taught by the emperor at the age of six, and was appointed as the crown prince at the age of sixteen, and his position has never been shaken since then.
So when the late emperor was dying, he left this secret decree to her and told her that it was for the next emperor.
She never doubted it, and never thought of opening it.
She thought the next emperor would be one of her grandchildren, but she didn't expect...
My late emperor, my husband, has been dead for so many years, yet you came to her without her being prepared. You are so cruel!
Song Jinxiu's heart sank. Judging from the Empress Dowager's reaction, could this imperial edict be true?
Is the late emperor getting senile and confused? Why was such a will left behind? Could it be that the late emperor was bewitched by Concubine Liu at that time? ”
Yes, this Concubine Liu still has charm even with her gray hair. I wonder how beautiful she must have been when she was young.
You know what, she looks quite like the icy beauty Concubine Qi.
Liu Xiu frowned and looked at the wizened old man, Eunuch Chen. "Eunuch Chen watched me grow up. You are a close confidant of my father. Can you tell me if this imperial edict is true?"
Chen Qing nodded solemnly.
The crowd was shocked.
Song Jinxiu: The emperor asked this question. Since Concubine Liu invited him to testify, this old eunuch must be a big shot.
Liu Xiaoxiu's heart sank, "Why? Is it because I don't meet the emperor's wishes? Then why did he pass the throne to me in the first place?"
Everyone stretched their heads and listened attentively, even the most vicious people tried their best to suppress their annoyance.
What is the reason? They also want to know.
Chen Qing stretched out his skeleton-like arm, pulled up a layer of wrinkled old skin on his arm, stretched it out, and saw words on it.
"Ren and Guichou spread across the dragon crown, Jia, Bing, Wu and Geng started a rebellion, the universe is turning, and Cangwu can last for another hundred years."
"This is the motto left by the late emperor. I was afraid I would forget it, so I carved it on this arm. The late emperor said that if Your Majesty has any grievances in his heart, he will understand it after reading these words."
Song Jinxiu didn't understand what Manlongguan meant, but she understood what the rebellion meant.
What it means is that there will be military disasters, there will be a war, and the people will suffer. Only if King Chu Yin comes to power can Cangwu last another hundred years, otherwise it will be destroyed.
What a fool this old emperor is! The Yi people haven't even started the war yet. Let the two sons fight first. Didn't you bring this disaster upon yourself?
Song Jinxiu looked at the solemn emperor with some sympathy: Your father is even less reliable than my father. My father at best brought harm to his children, but your father made a joke of the entire country.
Is this Prince Yin Liu Chu qualified to be an emperor? It's almost acting, right?
No matter whether he is qualified to be emperor or not, she will not let him get his wish.
Your Majesty is her most powerful supporter. If it were this person, would she still be so free and easy?
Liu Xiu looked at this proverb, he understood!
When his father was dying, he said that the Liu family had gone against the will of heaven and that their descendants would be punished by heaven in the future, so he left behind this proverb to prolong the life of the Liu family.
The Saintess of the Cui Family also predicted that the Liu Family's fate had come to an end, and by his time, Cangwu would be divided up by foreigners, and the people of Cangwu would be in dire straits.
He refused to accept his fate and vowed to continue the Cangwu Empire, so he worked diligently and self-disciplined, especially since he met the little girl...
He glanced at Song Jinxiu.
With her, his kingdom prospered, and Cangwu was unlikely to be torn apart.
What does "Ren and Guichou spread across Longguan, Jia, Bing, Wu and Geng started a rebellion, the world is in turmoil, and Cangwu can continue for another hundred years" mean?
He glanced at Liu Chu.
I'm afraid that only if it is handed over to him, Cangwu will be destroyed, right? Even if it lasts another hundred years, I'm afraid it will be a century of misery for the people.
Father, you are wrong. I will not give up this kingdom.
I, as your son, have worked hard and even reluctantly given up my own things to bring Cangwu to a new situation.
I just saw hope...
Why should I give in?
"Royal brother, according to our father's will, please issue an edict to give up the throne." Prince Yin looked at the silent Liu Xiu and said proudly.
The crowd shouted, "Your Majesty, you can't do that."
Liu Xiaoxiu glanced at him and said, "Father is very concerned about inheritance. You don't know how to be a king. Even if this imperial decree is true, I will never pass the throne to you."
Prince Yin lowered his head slightly, looked at Liu Xiou with his eyes rolled up and asked fiercely: "Brother, do you want to disobey the will?"
Liu Xiu said with a serious face: "I will not entrust the whole country to you. I have been learning how to govern a country since I was six years old, and I dare not slack off until now. And you, how much do you know about being a king? I am worried about leaving it to you."
"That's the way to be a king, right? Who says I can't do it?"
Prince Yin Liu Chu shook his head, opened the Fengliu fan in his hand and fanned it with "Ula", then recited proudly:
"The way to be a king should be to set your ambition first. Without ambition, one cannot succeed. The ambition should reach up to the sky, connect to the earth, be full of energy and soul, be firm and flexible, lead the people and rule the world. My royal brother, you memorized these when you were a child, and I have memorized them too."
Liu Xiu shook his head. "What's important is not to set a goal, but to emphasize education, save on legal affairs, appoint talented people to perform, be prepared for danger in times of peace, be good at accepting the ball, be strict with oneself, be dedicated to rewards and punishments, and cultivate both civil and military skills... Have you learned these?"
Prince Yin's face darkened. He had indeed not learned these systematically. "I have books and my father's manuscripts. He said that they were all left for me."
Liu Xixiu shook his head again, "Is learning and applying what you have learned enough for you? And..."
He pointed at the people from Southern Xinjiang behind them and the people who had fainted on the ground.
"You actually colluded with the country, betrayed the country, and poisoned loyal ministers. You have a bad character. How can you be a king?"
Every word Liu Xiu wrote was sonorous and powerful. Prince Yin's face turned purple and he said angrily:
"Brother, it is useless to say more. The Imperial Hospital has been controlled by my people. They are causing all kinds of troubles. The antidote is in my hands. Your Majesty can think about it for an incense stick of time. If it takes more than an incense stick of time, the people poisoned here will go crazy at the worst and stupid at the least."
Liu Xiu's face was solemn. "Why don't you hand over the antidote quickly? These are all important officials of the court. How can you convince them by treating their lives as a joke?"
"Oh, my brother is always accusing others. I told you that as long as you abdicate, I will give you the antidote. Their lives are in my brother's hands. It is my brother, not me, who is playing with the lives of the ministers."
Qi Chenghua whispered to his men, "Go to the Imperial Hospital and see if it doesn't work, go to the harem to prepare an antidote."
"Don't struggle. The imperial physician is under my control. He will be prescribed medicine immediately at the palace. It will take an hour. I'm afraid they won't be able to wait for you to come back."
Everyone shouted angrily: "Despicable and shameless."
"It's not me who is despicable, it's my brother. The emperor's decree is here, but you are trying to disobey it by making excuses in every possible way."
Seeing everyone's eyes getting redder and redder, Liu Xiu finally compromised.
"Okay, you give them the antidote first, and learn to love your subjects first, then we can talk about other things, okay?"
"I can make you the Crown Prince. You can learn how to govern a country from me first. When you are able to do it, I will pass the throne to you."
The crowd shouted again: "Your Majesty, you can't do that."
Song Jinxiu poured the black and pungent antidote made by the soy milk maker into the ceramic jar.
The smell was so pungent that she hurried to Eunuch Hai.
Eunuch Hai was glaring ahead when suddenly he felt a hot, stinky jar of milk in his arms, which made him stagger and almost faint.
"Don't worry, this is the antidote."
Eunuch Hai quickly hugged him tightly.
Antidote? Even if it was a jar of shit and urine, he would hold it tightly.
Now that there is an antidote, Song Jinxiu couldn't bear it anymore. I don't care about the late emperor's will. I only recognize the current emperor.
He gave Qi Chenghua a look, then suddenly leaped forward and charged towards the Saintess of Southern Border.
To catch a thief, one must first catch the leader. She thought the most difficult person here was the Saint of Southern Frontier, so she ignored Concubine Liu.
