Rebirth as Princess Jin again

Prime Minister Zhang suddenly understood, and then looked at the person in front of him. He had thought carefully. No wonder he had repeatedly made military exploits at a young age. He was worthy of being the God of War. With such a capable prince in the Xia Zhao Kingdom, there was no need to worry about being able to stand above all other countries.

No wonder Southern Xinjiang has fought with him for so many years and never gained any advantage. Fortunately, they in the Western Region have never had such thoughts, otherwise they would have been destroyed by him long ago.

Situ Jin looked at Prime Minister Zhang again: "Prime Minister Zhang, you must hurry up and arrange for someone to go to the palace as soon as possible to take out the imperial edict, and make all preparations for ascending the throne. Tomorrow, I will go to the palace in person to help the sixth prince ascend the throne. The throne!"

Prime Minister Zhang bowed again: "Yes, I will definitely do it!"

"Also, Prime Minister Zhang, don't think about leaving my life in the Western Regions. If anything happens to me in the Western Regions, your death will not be far away."

Prime Minister Zhang's knees suddenly became weak. Such thoughts did flash through his mind. After all, Situ Jin was now within their sphere of influence. If they could get rid of him, it would also eliminate a major hidden danger for the Western Region.

But Situ Jin's threat just now made him sweat on his back. He actually discovered his thoughts first. This man is really terrible.

With this thought in mind, when he looked up again, he saw that Situ Jin and his guards were no longer in the room, and only the Sixth Prince was left staring at him blankly.

They actually came and went freely in his house, as if they were in a deserted place.

Prime Minister Zhang looked at the Sixth Prince and asked in a low voice: "Sixth Prince, do we really want to listen to what King Jin says?"

The League of Gentlemen nodded: "Prime Minister Zhang, I know you don't believe that King Jin has no other plans for the Western Regions, but that night when I was assassinated, they were hiding in the dark. The assassin had already revealed my identity, and I had a gun in my chest at that time. If I was hit by a poisonous arrow, I would still be alive even if they didn't kill me, but instead of taking advantage of others' danger, Princess Jin came to my aid and saved my life."

"How could such a kind person stab someone in the back? I believe King Jin is a gentleman. As long as he gets what he wants, he will not take the opportunity to attack the Western Regions."

"What's more, although he said he was helping me, he was actually helping himself. Now that Zhou Wei has occupied the border town, he is surrounded by enemies from both sides. Only by helping me win the throne can he be relieved of his current crisis. So I believe what he said and asked the Prime Minister to Trust me for once!”

Zhang Cheng saw that the Gentlemen's Alliance had made a clear analysis and nodded approvingly. The young man in front of him had always been unknown in the royal family. Now he can see the situation clearly and assess the situation. If the country of the Western Region is placed in the hands of such a person, he will definitely be able to prevent years of civil strife. The Western Region has settled down.

Prime Minister Zhang settled the Sixth Prince, and that night he quietly entered General Xu Liangcheng's residence under the cover of darkness.

Muying followed quietly, and did not leave until he was sure that the matter was settled.

Early the next morning, Prime Minister Zhang asked the Sixth Prince to disguise himself as his servant and enter the palace with him to attend court.

When they arrived at the palace, the Sixth Prince sneaked into the flower room while others were not paying attention. Not only did he find the imperial edict in the flower room, but he also found the imperial seal.

It turned out that the emperor also hid the jade seal, and the regent had no way to forge the imperial edict, so he never had the chance to ascend to the throne.

Above the court, Prime Minister Zhang and Prince Duan formed their own factions and stood in rows. However, not long after everyone entered the hall, Xu Liangcheng led his soldiers to surround the entire hall.

King Duan looked at the formation in front of him and felt bad, but now his people were outside the palace, and the imperial guards in the palace always obeyed the emperor's orders, and others could not give orders at all.

Today's situation is quite strange. The imperial guards allowed General Xu to lead his troops in and out of the palace without blocking him.

King Duan suddenly felt panicked when he thought of his nephew whose whereabouts were unknown.

He pretended to be calm and asked sternly: "General Xu, Prime Minister, are you going to rebel?"

Other officials in the hall also looked at each other and started talking.

Prime Minister Zhang walked to the center of the hall and sneered: "Your Highness Prince Duan, don't panic, today we are just here to welcome the new emperor to the throne!"

King Duan was startled, and cold sweat suddenly broke out on his back. He had participated in the regent's murder of the emperor and the prince. If the new emperor were to ascend the throne, and the regent was not in the imperial city, if he was really allowed to ascend the throne, what would happen first? It’s not just you who is being targeted.

"Prime Minister, you are too presumptuous. Now all the emperors and princes in the court have died. What's more, our court has set a precedent. Only those who are qualified to succeed to the throne must obtain the imperial edict and the national jade seal. The regent searched through the palace and could not find the imperial edict and imperial seal. Imperial jade seal."

"What's more, all the former prince's sons and heirs are dead. You clearly want to usurp the throne?"

Prime Minister Zhang snorted coldly: "I'm afraid Prince Duan has forgotten that the Sixth Prince is living abroad and there is no definite news of his death."

King Duan retorted: "Now that the regent is fighting bloody battles on the border, you are spreading rumors behind your back. What crime should you do?"

Prime Minister Zhang was not angry. He stepped forward, took out a bright yellow imperial edict from his sleeve, held it in his hand, and shouted loudly:

"My emperor's edict is here, why don't you kneel down to accept it?"

King Duan's expression changed in shock, and he stepped forward to seize the imperial edict.

"Come here, Prince Duan and I are guilty of trying to destroy the imperial edict. I'll arrest you!"

The imperial guards received the order and stepped forward to surround King Duan.

When the other officials saw that he was serious and that what the prime minister was holding was clearly an imperial edict, they immediately knelt down.

Prince Duan was escorted to his knees by the imperial guards, and then Prime Minister Zhang slowly opened the imperial edict and read it loudly.

"I know that my destiny has been exhausted and my life will not be long, so I have left a legacy. When I pass away, I will pass it on to the crown prince. If the crown prince is unfortunately killed by an adulterer, I will pass the throne to other princes in order of eldest and youngest. I appreciate this! "

It turned out that the Emperor of the Western Regions had long expected this day and had made thorough preparations.

King Duan said coldly: "Hmph... There is no prince in the palace now. Who should the throne be passed on to?"

Prime Minister Zhang raised his eyelids and sneered coldly: "Who said that there is no prince to succeed to the throne? The late emperor's edict stated that the throne should be passed on to the princes in the order of eldest and youngest. Could it be that King Duan had some differences with the imperial edict?"

King Duan still didn't believe it: "I don't think this imperial decree of yours is a forgery?"

Prime Minister Zhang handed the imperial edict in his hand to the eunuch beside him. The eunuch held up the imperial edict and walked past the courtiers one by one. Everyone looked surprised when they saw the imperial edict. It was indeed the emperor's own handwriting, and it was stamped Got the jade seal.

Even King Duan was surprised when he saw the bright red seal on the imperial edict.

Prime Minister Zhang returned to his original position, lifted his robe, knelt on the ground, and shouted loudly: "I respectfully welcome the new emperor to the throne!"

It wasn't until the League of Gentlemen walked slowly from the door of the hall wearing dragon robes that all the ministers believed that everything Prime Minister Zhang said was true.

The League of Gentlemen slowly walked up to the dragon throne, holding the imperial seal in their hands, looking down at the people in the palace, raising their hands and saying: "Everyone, I love you!"
