Entertainment of Spring and Autumn

Chapter 519 The most aggrieved emperor

Su Duancheng said "no testing is needed", but that doesn't mean there really is no need for testing. He was just worried that this was indeed the true edict, and planned to make it invalid regardless of whether it was true or false. If no one refutes it and everyone says it is invalid or remains silent, then it is really ineffective.

At the enthronement ceremony of an emperor, everyone should have recognized that the previous edict was invalid. Whoever jumps out to say it works is the one who will fight Ji Wuyou until death.

But the person who jumped out was Xia Houdi.

Not only was Ji Wuyou puzzled, but few people in the audience could understand.

Many officials came to the stage to check the authenticity of the imperial edict. There were those who had done the proofreading, the beneficiary, several famous antique calligraphers and calligraphers, as well as Su Duancheng and other veterans who were very familiar with Ji Qingyuan, all gathered around to check the edict.

The materials used in the imperial edict and the various seals themselves cannot prove anything. Liu Wanxi and Eunuch Li have been in control for so long, so it is easy to make a copy. The key points of the inspection lie in Ji Qingyuan's handwriting and the time when the edict was formed.

People are so familiar with Ji Qingyuan's signature. After seeing it for more than ten or twenty years, many people dare to pat their chests and guarantee that even the slightest mistake in the imitation will be spotted by them. The verification result is that it is definitely Ji Qingyuan's own signature, not a forgery. Even Su Duancheng must admit that this signature is genuine. It contains traces of the royal family's unique martial arts and Ji Qingyuan's unique personal understanding. You can imitate this kind of thing. It can be concluded that the font cannot imitate the martial arts qualities contained in it.

Of course, only the signature is so obvious, and the entire edict certainly does not have the spirit of martial arts, but it is enough. If the signature is genuine, doesn’t it mean it’s genuine? Even if the content of the edict was written by someone else, it is still a true edict.

The entire edict has been judged by experts based on the aging of the material and the depth of the seal, etc.: it is about a year, absolutely correct, and any tampering is absolutely excluded.

People even invited an elder who was guarding the tripod to come down and check, and found that the aura of the Qiankun tripod was indeed correct. Of course Ji Qingyuan had been to the Qiankun Cauldron many times about a year ago. As for whether he had brought the edict with him, no one knew. Who knew if he had it in his arms?

All in all... no matter how you look at it, this is a true edict.

All the officials looked at each other, unable to complain. During the crown prince's enthronement ceremony, there was a posthumous edict from the late emperor saying that another emperor would be established... This was really nonsense. To be honest, of course you can't do things like this. The prince has not lost his moral character and is ascending the throne in good condition. How can he be kicked out with a posthumous edict? Are you kidding?

In fact, the main reason is that Xia Houdi himself has never created such a faction, and no one will jump out and say that it must be Xia Houdi. If it were someone like Ji Wuxing, I'm afraid there might really be something to argue about now. This is the foundation that Xia Houdi lacks. She has reputation, and her reputation is based on public loyalty. But after all, this is not a position of superiority. She has no private interests to forcefully promote such a thing.

Ji Wuyou still has to ascend the throne. The consensus among all officials is basically this. This is Ji Wuyou's general trend, and it is not comparable to Xiahou Di.

But since this edict is so true, we can’t just ignore it! Xia Houdi is not someone who can be easily ignored. She must be given an explanation!

The enthronement ceremony was suspended. Liu Wanxi, Ji Wuyou, and the "Five Ministers of Assistance to the Country" entered the ancestral temple and held a small meeting.

Ji Wuyou never said a word, and Xia Houdi also remained silent.

The three sect leaders and Su Duancheng looked at the brother and sister and felt as if they were in a dream. Xia Houdi and Ji Wuyou fight for position? Not to mention that Ji Wuyou thought this was not Xia Houdi, this was something that everyone would find unbelievable.

The brother and sister didn't speak, so others could only start the conversation. Su Duancheng asked cautiously: "What do you think of the princess now? Well, to be honest, I think this is very good..."

Xiahou Dimuran said: "I know that I am not qualified enough."

"That princess' intention..."

"I have already said that I will be my mother first. As for the position... you can decide what to do."

This seemed to be the limit of what Xia Houdi could contend for. After she finished speaking, she pursed her lips tightly and never uttered a word again.

The three sect leaders looked at each other, knowing that there were many problems here. Based on his trust in Xia Houdi, Li Yingqing still said: "The crown prince's enthronement ceremony is not a child's play. It is really impossible to explain to the world by overturning it with a testament. But the testament It cannot be ignored. According to my opinion, we might as well appoint the Xiahou Chief as the auxiliary king to assist the new emperor in coordinating the affairs of the government."

Su Duancheng's eyelids twitched, didn't this mean that the monarchy was taken away? With Xiahoudi's prestige in both the government and the public, he could easily compete with the emperor. Plus the so-called "Queen Mother"...

If we join forces, the emperor will be ousted!

When he was about to object, Ji Wuyou waved his hand and said indifferently: "This proposal is feasible, so let's leave it at that."

Su Duancheng glanced at him, knowing that Ji Wuyou didn't want to cause trouble, so he wanted to become emperor first, and then do other things later. I don't know why Xia Houdi caused trouble this time, but judging from Xia Houdi's usual affectionate behavior, she will probably not be able to play with Ji Wuyou in the future.

Thinking of this, he also sighed: "I have no objections, either."

The small meeting was short, and the ceremony continued.

Ji Wuyou successfully ascended the throne.

But this ascension to the throne was very frustrating. When he was crowned emperor, the first thing he did was to name a "Queen Mother" who was no more than two years older than him. Then he knelt and kowtowed to the "Queen Mother" and called her Queen Mother.

Liu Wanxi smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please get up."

Ji Wuyou felt a mouthful of blood surging in her throat. She took a deep breath and gave her second imperial order: "Princess Pingyang Xia Houdi will serve as the assistant eldest princess to discuss government affairs together."

Then the officials were appointed and a celebration was held.

While the courtiers shouted long live, people always felt that since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, there had never been such a breathless emperor when he ascended the throne or such a breathless emperor.

…

Xia Houdi silently watched the scene of Ji Wuyou sitting on the throne and being worshiped by people, his mind had long gone far away.

Of course the edict was fake, but it was just Xue Mu repeating his old tricks. Of course, the level of fraud this time is higher. The edict itself is genuine, it was indeed formed a year ago, and it is indeed Ji Qingyuan's autograph, no matter how you verify it.

This was the true imperial edict that Ji Qing originally gave Xue Mu as the city lord and the Phoenix Man. It's just that the master of Zonghengdao forgery erased the handwriting and imitated the font to write new content. Therefore, the signature has special characteristics that the entire edict does not have, but this is not a problem.

The Qi of Heaven and Earth in the imperial edict was of course injected by Xue Mu himself...

This kind of false edict can completely replace the real one, and it will not be wrong no matter how you check it.

This false edict was placed on Liu Wanxi the last time he passed by the capital. Therefore, after the drastic change of Ji Qingyuan's assassination, Liu Wanxi was very calm and not panicked at all, as if she had a back-up plan, because Xue Mu had already arranged it.

The reason why Ji Wuxing was asked to announce the edict was, of course, because he had no involvement in the edict and others would not suspect it. If Liu Wanxi took it out herself, her credibility would be reduced by 70% to 80%...

The imperial edict was handed over to Ji Wuxing last night. Ji Wuxing had been in bed for several months and had long since determined that the person who assassinated him was Ji Wuyou and not Ji Wuli. He could cause trouble and chaos for Ji Wuyou. I don't know how many people this guy can do. happy.

Xia Houdi also received a "call" from Xue Mu last night.

Last night she was invited by Xiao Ai and saw the shocking Xingluo Formation, and Xue Mu's familiar voice sounded in front of her.

The whole story of the Seven Mysteries Incident cannot be fabricated... Bago has been secretly raising the Ten Thousand Poison Sect from a long time ago... What is this concept?

He can support the Wan Du Sect, but can he support the Qing Dao?

He manipulated Qixuan Valley to rebel, and the timing was so coincidental. As soon as Xue Mu left, his father was assassinated. What is the concept of this?

The most important thing is that Chu Tianming, who has been secretly watching the Prince's Mansion, observed a piece of news: the Prince's Mansion has been coming and going from the southwest recently. This is not a problem originally, but in this context it becomes a problem.

Xia Houdi has stayed at Six Doors for more than ten years and has been the chief catcher for three or four years. Such clues can really prove a lot of things in front of her.

Ba Ge probably thought that even if Xue Mu obtained the evidence, it would be too late to cause trouble for him, but no one could have imagined that there is such a thing as the Star Array...
