After Cui Xiao led his troops into Youcheng, he rushed to the court with Sha Hua, Shi Shanrong and others.At this time, Emperor Xiaoyin was waiting in the Jinluan Hall with his civil and military officials.As soon as he stepped into the palace gate, the emperor's gloomy voice sounded, "Cai Xiao, aren't you and Yu Xun dead?"

Cook Xiao looked at his calm and composed father expressionlessly, and said to himself: "Father, my son thinks that you can take the Zen seat."

The emperor looked at the legendary eldest son who was burned to death by Han Qi, slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and said in his heart, he really didn't die, it seems that these two children are more interesting, they can keep playing with him.

The finger on the emperor's thumb lightly hit the armrest of the dragon chair, and the crisp sound echoed in the silent hall. The civil and military officials lowered their heads, not daring to breathe, for fear that an accident would cause death.

Cook Xiao glanced at them, and then said to the emperor: "Father, now that the people are in favor, you should go back to the harem to live your life. I believe that Xiaoxun will not make things difficult for you. My minister has already drawn up the imperial edict, as long as you Just put your seal on it." As he spoke, he nodded slightly to Sha Hua who was following him.Shahua took the order, took out the golden scroll in his arms, and handed it over.

The emperor looked at it calmly, then looked at the officials below, and frowned almost invisibly, "Cao Xiao hopes that Yu Xun will be enthroned, can all the lovers have something to say?"

When Cook Xiao's grandfather, Grand Master Han, trembled his gray beard three times, he stared at Cook Xiao.Cook Xiao returned a faint smile, and said in a loud voice: "Since the fifth year of Xiaode, His Royal Highness has ridden bandits and thieves. Today, the people in the martial arts are grateful for the prince’s relief from the catastrophe, and the people are even more rejoicing because of his benevolence and love for the people. His Royal Highness the prince has survived the wind and rain for more than five years, and his achievements have spread all over the world, and his reputation has spread all over the world. My father, I am afraid that he will not be able to match his achievements in the past five years. My sons and ministers are pleading for the world. The prince should inherit the great order and be honored on the Ninth Five-Year Plan to show his merits and benefit the people. It is time for the father to be crowned with the honorary title of the Supreme Emperor. "

Ge Husheng took a step forward, and said solemnly: "The minister seconded the proposal, the crown prince's enthronement as emperor is expected by all, please allow your majesty!"

Immediately afterwards, Shi Shanrong, Sha Hua, and Duan Feipeng who came with them all stood up to express their views, and Yuxun's father-in-law, Qin Jitong, also dragged a pole of civil servants to support him.Grand Master Han and the others stood still, as if they didn't want to get involved in this dispute at all.But Cook Xiao knew that they were the most difficult to settle.However, no one expected that the old general Hu Shanying, who was over sixty years old, would stand up.Hu Shanying is Hu An's father. Hu An's death in Yueguo was a great blow to him, and his health deteriorated day by day. The emperor thought of him as he was old, and let him cultivate at home. If Han Qi hadn't besieged the city, it would be hard to find generals in the court , he will not rush over.

Hu Shanying looked at the shrinking civil and military, sighed, and saluted: "The old minister has something to say. His Royal Highness inherits the law of heaven, upholds righteousness, upholds the ambition of loving the country and the people, and abides by humility and respect. He is indeed the best candidate for the emperor. But Your Majesty is in his prime of life, and his great achievements cannot be summed up in one word. The Crown Prince is humble, and will definitely not agree to such actions. We, as ministers, should never push His Highness to such an inhumane situation. I hope your Majesty Think twice."

"Shanying's words are wrong!" Deng Shuixing, who is also a veteran, frowned his gray eyebrows, looked at this desperate old friend, and felt anxious. Judging from the current situation, most of the soldiers and horses around Youcheng have already arrived at the cooking pot. In the hands of Xiao and Yuxun, the emperor's power is gone, and Yuxun is a rare wise master, so why bother to go against the sky!

"The old minister dares to say that if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne, he will obey the law of heaven and the will of the people, and His Majesty must not follow the old ways and hinder the hope of the people of the world!"

The emperor raised his eyebrows, "In my opinion, Yu Xun should not be willing."

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Prince ascended the throne, but by God's will, how can he give up because of resignation?" After Deng Shuixing finished speaking, many ministers joined the ranks of admonitions, and all of a sudden, the Jinluan Hall fell to their knees and shouted: "Respectfully Your Majesty, the Zen Prince! Respectfully, Your Majesty, the Zen Prince! Respectfully, Your Majesty, the Zen Prince!..."

Hu Shanying trembled and turned around to look at these people, looking up to the sky and sighing. He was about to reprimand these people who had no integrity, but the emperor coughed lightly, "Cao Xiao, where is Yu Xun now?"

Cook Xiao suppressed the upturned corners of his mouth, and said respectfully: "His Royal Highness is arresting the traitor Han Qi in Yuming Mountain, and I believe he will arrive in You City soon."

"Really?" The emperor snorted coldly, and said again: "If I order to close the gate of Youcheng now, and Chen Shenxiang, Qi Jianshou, and Zhen Ye confront you, what should you do?"

Cook Xiao smiled faintly, "Father, it's been almost a month since these three people received your transfer order? Do you know why they didn't move?"

The emperor was secretly startled, and said that although the three supported Cook Xiao, they also supported Yu Xun without thinking.Originally, I wanted to use the gap between their brothers to provoke, but now I am afraid it will be a bit difficult.

Chen Shenxiang, Qi Jianshou, and Zhen Ye were the commanders-in-chief of the Eighth, Ninth, and Tenth Armies. They were stationed in Huaitian and Ziyang counties. They had private friendship with Grand Master Han, but they had nothing to do with Yuxun.A month ago, the emperor issued an edict ordering the three of them to lead troops to rescue him, but the three of them delayed coming.

"Just as my father thought, those three generals are indeed my servants, so unless you transfer the troops to guard the border, otherwise, you can only step aside." Cook Xiao said, and glanced at the calm and composed Grand Master Han , continued to put pressure on the emperor, "Father, please tell the world to abdicate immediately and let the prince ascend the throne!"

The emperor didn't say anything more, took the jade seal in his hand, looked at the scroll, and wanted to cover it.He didn't believe it anymore, Grand Master Han could also support Yu Xun's ascension to the throne?

Sure enough, before the jade seal fell, Grand Master Han suddenly said loudly: "Hold on, Your Majesty."

The emperor paused, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly from an angle that others could not see. "Does the old lady have anything to say?"

"Your Majesty, the old minister believes that the throne should be passed on to His Royal Highness King Yi, not the incompetent prince! Everyone knows that what the prince has done these years has been achieved with the support of King Yi. Today, Your Majesty If the throne is given to the crown prince, the world will be in chaos tomorrow!"

"Hehe, the old master is really far-sighted. But, Xiao Xiao, what do you think?"

Cook Xiao couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. Grand Master Han's words clearly implied that the three troops belonged to his Han family. If Yuxun became king, the 30 troops of these three people would definitely go to war. The most urgent thing is to find a way Make yourself disqualified from inheriting the emperor's business.After calmly thinking for a while, he said, "Father, please pass on the throne to Yu Xun. My son admits that he has committed a serious crime, and he dare not risk the disgrace of the world."

"Yi Wang, what nonsense are you talking about!" Taishi Han shook his gray beard and grabbed Cook Xiao's hand, with a look of hatred for iron and steel, "What crime are you doing! What kind of medicine did that idiot prince give you? You are so desperate to work for him!"

"Grandmaster Han is lying! This king only knows that the crown prince is the younger brother that I love the most. Moreover, with his benevolent and benevolent character, he loves the people like a son, and he must take the throne. Don't make things difficult for this king anymore, Taishi Han." .”

A question made Cook Xiao say categorically, Grand Master Han couldn't help frowning.The emperor saw it clearly after the Long Shu case, and secretly smiled in his heart, as long as he restrained Mi Xiao, the rest of Yu Xun would be easy to deal with.

"Cai Xiao, since you say you have sinned deeply, then go to the prison for a while."

Cook Xiao was taken aback for a moment, looking at the suddenly confident emperor, he was at a loss for a while, "What does the emperor mean?"

"I approve the edict, but you have to go to the prison to confess your guilt, do you understand?"

"I don't know what crime the father wants the son to confess?" Cook Xiao was startled, she always felt that the matter seemed to be out of her control, just now she made a slip of the tongue and let the emperor hold the conversation!

"The crime of deceiving the emperor!" The emperor's cold words did not have a trace of waves, and the scalps of those who listened were numb.

Grand Master Han glanced at him contemptuously, and said loudly: "Is Your Majesty still asleep? How can such a matter be settled by just talking about it?"

The emperor smiled coldly, and said disdainfully: "Han Qing, do you really think that I am so confused that I can't tell the difference between men and women? I just didn't expose it for the sake of family affection, but I didn't want Mao Xiao, as a woman, to dare to be so rebellious. I will not punish the crime of treason, but the 24 years of deceiving the emperor must be investigated!"

After finishing the sentence, the whole room was in an uproar!With a pale face, Cook Xiao forcefully suppressed her trembling body, and stubbornly raised her head, "Isn't the father confused by anger? Are you afraid that the royal family will be humiliated because of this?!"

The emperor said indifferently: "Cai Xiao, as long as you plead guilty and go to the jail to wait for Yuxun to be released, I will stamp the jade seal on this edict now, and declare that Yuxun is the emperor."

Cook Xiao's heart suddenly slammed into his chest. He was very clear about the emperor's habit of playing with his brothers. At this moment, that aloof father didn't have any worries at all. Instead, he was enjoying it.He looked at the aggressive Taishi Han and the generals behind him who resolutely supported Yuxun, and smiled lightly, "Then please ask the emperor to seal it!"

"Okay!" After the emperor said, he dropped the jade seal heavily, and then said in a loud voice: "Come here, take down Cai Xiao, who deceived the king, and put him in the prison!"

As soon as the words were finished, dozens of black-clothed warriors suddenly appeared, and Cook Xiao was thinking a lot, secretly thinking that something was wrong.

Grand Master Han stepped forward to stop him, but was held on the neck by a black warrior with a horizontal knife.Shi Shanrong and the others looked at me and I looked at you, still hesitating whether to save Cook Xiao.Cook Xiao smiled and said to the emperor: "Father, can you show the imperial edict to my son?"

The emperor nodded, and handed the imperial edict to the attendants beside him.After Xiao Xun took it and checked carefully to make sure it was correct, he handed it to Ge Husheng, and said in a low voice, "It must be handed over to Xiao Xun."

Ge Husheng frowned, and nodded helplessly.Cook Xiao glanced at the emperor sitting on the dragon chair watching the play, turned and left.As soon as he walked out of the palace gate, he tightened his arms, and a familiar fragrance suddenly rushed over.

"Xiaoxiao, are you really going to the prison?" Ling Yanxiu blinked his big eyes and stared at him anxiously.

"Go and tell Xiao Xun that unless he takes the throne today, I won't survive tonight."

Ling Yanxiu stared blankly at the person in front of him who was smiling calmly, panic flooded in his heart.She wanted to ask him about his future plans, but the man was forcibly taken away by several men in black.She kicked the palace wall fiercely, and she flew away, but unexpectedly, twenty or so black-clothed warriors suddenly appeared around her and surrounded her.After several fights, she finally ran out of the palace. She was worried about where to contact Yu Xun, and happened to see them entering the city.

As Yu Xun galloped back to the palace, while listening to her explain the ins and outs of the matter, he slowly began to worry a little, now the throne, he is going to decide!
