The muscles on Wang Ziteng's refuted face twitched, and then he said: "Okay, today is the day to elect a new emperor. Since the empress wants to hang the curtain, come here, and respectfully invite the empress."

As he spoke, eunuchs and palace maids came over immediately, and set up seats beside the dragon chair, because Concubine Xiande had a prince, but she was indeed only a noble concubine, not even an imperial concubine, so she had no choice but to grit her teeth and stand up with hatred. He gave up his seat to the queen, then hugged the fifth son, turned around and sat on the newly set seat.

Wu Zhao helped the queen to go up, and quickly sat down on the seat. The queen calmed down, straightened her robe, and turned her head to look at Concubine Xiande, with indescribable satisfaction in her eyes.

Concubine Xiande gritted her teeth and endured, the child in her arms didn't know if it was because she felt Concubine Xiande's emotions, so she cried more ferociously, sobbing non-stop, but Concubine Xiande didn't know how to coax the child at all.

Wang Ziteng was very annoyed, the veins on his face were popping all the time, he quickly suppressed his anger, and said amidst the crying of the child: "Everyone is deeply saddened by the death of the late emperor, but the country cannot be without a master for a day, today, everyone recommends A new emperor is coming to inherit the grand ceremony!"

As he spoke, he immediately stretched out his hands and said, "The fifth son of the emperor is the orphan of the former emperor, and the royal family is orthodox. Zi Teng is willing to wholeheartedly assist the fifth son of the emperor to ascend the throne as the new emperor, and carry forward our dynasty!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a moment of silence, and then someone came to echo him, saying: "Yes, yes, the fifth son of the emperor is the orthodox royal family, the only blood of the first emperor, and the fifth son of the emperor inherits the throne. There is nothing wrong with it."

Another whispered: "It's just that the fifth prince is too young, what should we do?"

"Yes, yes, the fifth son of the emperor is still in his infancy, how can he inherit the throne?"

Hearing what everyone said, Wang Ziteng's heart suddenly ignited a fire, his face showed a gleam of excitement, and he cupped his hands and said: "Although the fifth son of the emperor is young, he is an orthodox royal family. If the fifth son of the emperor can succeed to the throne , first let the pillars of the country assist the regent, and have the virtuous concubine preside over the overall situation, and wait for the fifth son of the emperor to grow up and be crowned, then he can take over the overall situation again, isn't it just right?"

When he said this, everyone knew Sima Zhaozhi's heart, and Wang Ziteng's meaning was obvious. He wanted to be the "pillar of the country" and threatened the court while the fifth son of the emperor was young.

At this time, the empress smiled and said: "The Ai family will not ask who is the pillar of the country, after all...it is too early to ask this!"

Everyone looked at the queen, feeling that the queen had something to say.

At this time, Concubine Xiande hurriedly preempted the topic, sobbed immediately, and said in tears: "A few days ago, the emperor passed away, and my palace was serving by my side at that time. At that time, at the end of his life, he was left alone in the palace to let the five emperors inherit the throne, but the situation was critical at that time, and there was no time to write any edicts, only the final oral order... The emperor also said, fortunately, fortunately, the five emperors were his only sons, so the five emperors were his only sons. Inheriting the throne, I thought about it, the ministers should not have any doubts, right?"

As she spoke, she whimpered and cried again, seemingly very sad, and wiped her eyes vigorously with a veil, making her eyes red in an instant.

The little baby in her arms was less than one year old, and she kept crying just now, and she didn't know why, but now seeing Concubine Xiande crying, she opened her eyes wide, blinked, and then laughed "giggle", as if Thinking it was very funny, he giggled again, and patted the little meaty hand.

Immediately, Concubine Xiande was about to die of anger, so she quickly blocked it with her clothes, and secretly pinched the little baby, who immediately cried out again, as if she was very wronged.

When the queen heard this, she said faintly: "The fifth son of the emperor is the orthodox royal family. The fifth son of the emperor inherits the throne, and the Ai family also supports it."

Concubine Xiande's eyes lit up when she heard this, and even Wang Ziteng became excited, the queen actually agreed that the fifth son of the emperor would succeed to the throne!

However, the queen sneered coldly and said, "But what you are holding in your hand is not the fifth son of the emperor at all!"

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone immediately became noisy, and the hall was full of excitement, as if entering a market. Everyone was amazed and looked carefully at the little baby behind the curtain, but firstly, the distance was too far away, and secondly, there was still The curtain is hanging, you can't see it at all.

Concubine Xiande immediately said: "You...you are talking nonsense! I think the empress has ulterior motives!"

The queen smiled coldly and said, "As the biological mother of the fifth son, don't you know what the fifth son looks like? You look down at the child in your arms. Is he the fifth son?"

Concubine Xiande didn't expect that the affairs of the fifth son of the emperor would be revealed, but she pretended to be tough and said: "He... he is my son, of course I know him, he is the fifth son of the emperor!"

The queen said: "Very good. In the old days, the emperor loved his only prince very much. During the full moon banquet, many key ministers had seen the fifth son. How about this? You can take the fifth son out and let everyone have a look." Look, it's clear at a glance whether it's the fifth son of the emperor!"

The ministers were even more noisy, you look at me, I look at you, in fact, what the empress said was right, at that time Concubine Xiande gave birth to a boy in the cold palace, this matter had been going on for a long time, and it was a bloody confession, and it was also canonized as a noble concubine , During the full moon banquet, the emperor also entertained his ministers. Many adults have seen the fifth son and praised the fifth son for being smart. The emperor even said that the mole on the forehead of the fifth son is exactly the same as his position. It must have its own style.

The courtiers were clamoring, and when Concubine Xiande saw it, she immediately "uh...", covered her mouth and began to cry, "We are orphans and widowed, so pitiful! Your majesty has just left, and our bones are not cold yet. Orphans and widowed mothers are being bullied like this, woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo the Emperor, my lord, I might as well go with you!

Wu Zhao smiled and said: "The empress of the imperial concubine's words are wrong. The empress only thinks that the election of a new emperor is of great importance, and I want to ask all the ministers to discuss it together. Why is the empress of the imperial concubine so pushy? Could it be that there is something shameful about it? Son?"

"You bullshit!"

Immediately Concubine Xian De shouted loudly and said: "You are talking nonsense!"

Wu Zhao said with a smile: "I didn't say anything, why should the imperial concubine be so angry, all the ministers are the backbone ministers of the former emperor, don't they have their own considerations, I am a weak woman, I can talk red and white, and turn black and white ? The imperial concubine thinks highly of me."

Concubine Xiande was even more annoyed, but she is not yet a queen mother, and her status is not high enough. Obviously, Wu Zhao has the queen mother to support her.

The queen said: "Yes, that's right, the Ai family is just a widowed mother, and never even had an orphan. Now that it has reached this point, what can the Ai family expect, but they are hoping that someone can inherit the emperor's rule. , comfort the late emperor's spirit in heaven!"

Wu Zhao and the queen sang together and said: "Yes, the empress is also well-intentioned. I am afraid that some people will disturb the blood of the royal family and shame the royal family. The virtuous concubine behaves properly. Fifth son, please come out and let the key ministers take a look to see if it is the fifth son of the emperor."

Concubine Xiande naturally didn't dare, because this was not his son at all. She found out after returning to the palace. Wang Ziteng said that her son had died of illness a long time ago. He was hired to replace him. He was the child of a maid and a guard. Come, the maid and guards have been secretly executed.

Seeing her hesitating, the queen smiled and said, "Some people are guilty and think that it is polite to shout loudly? Come here, invite someone to come over and identify whether this child is the fifth son of the emperor!"

As she spoke, everyone saw two people walking in from the door, one dressed as a court lady and the other dressed as a guard.

When Wang Ziteng saw it, he felt as if he had seen a ghost. After all, he had ordered these two people to be executed a long time ago. Unexpectedly, these two people ran out again for no reason, and immediately shouted: "Now we are electing a new emperor, what are you waiting for? Come in! Fork out!"

The queen smiled coldly, stood up, and said: "The Ai family let them in, let them come in and see if this child is the fifth son of the emperor. The fifth prince that Concubine Xiande is talking about now is just an affair between the maid and the guards." It’s all about heirs, Concubine Xiande, do you think what the Ai family said is true?”

As soon as she said this, the officials were surprised, and the noise became louder.

The court lady "Gudong" knelt on the ground and cried, "My child!! My child! That's my child, not the fifth son of the emperor! Don't take my child away!"

The baby in Concubine Xiande's arms had already stopped crying, but when she heard the maid crying, she didn't know if it was mother-child intercourse, but she actually cried out again with a wow.

Concubine Xiande panicked and quickly covered the child's mouth, as if she wanted to smother the child to death, not letting him cry, but how could the baby understand this, the more uncomfortable, the more naturally he cried, sobbing non-stop.

Concubine Xian De yelled: "Presumptuous! Where did the scumbag come from?! Get rid of this palace!"

At this moment, King Bei Jing took two steps and said, "If you want to identify that the child in Concubine Xiande's arms is not the fifth son of the emperor, you must at least have convincing evidence."

The palace lady hurriedly said: "Yes! There is evidence, my child has a birthmark on his shoulder, please take it for an examination, you adults, and you will know!"

Concubine Xiande's face was pale, and she blurted out: "My fifth prince also has a birthmark on his shoulder!"

When he said this, it seemed as if his words were preposterous, and Wu Zhao burst out laughing immediately. Concubine Xiande said, "What are you laughing at? My son, how can I not know? There is a birthmark on his shoulder!"

The queen also laughed immediately, she seemed very happy, and said: "Concubine Xiande, take a look, is there any birthmark on this child's shoulder?"

When Concubine Xiande heard this, she immediately went "Boom!" in her mind, and immediately felt that she had been tricked, as if she had been caught in a trap!

Sure enough, she lifted the child's shoulders and found that there were no birthmarks on the two shoulders at all. It was just a trap to blackmail her!

Wu Zhao smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you just said that the fifth son of the emperor has birthmarks on his shoulders. Why doesn't this child have birthmarks on both shoulders?"

The ministers suddenly started making noise again, and they all looked lively.

The empress seemed to feel that it was almost done, so she smiled coldly and said: "Everyone, birthmark or not, let's not talk about it for now, but let's talk about the mole on the forehead of the fifth son of the emperor. When the first emperor was here, he was there. The fifth son of the emperor praised his forehead mole at the full moon banquet, and many ministers present must have heard of it."

"Yeah yeah!"

"Yes, I've heard of this..."

"I've seen it before."

The ministers responded one after another, the queen turned to look at Concubine Xiande, with a ferocious smile on her lips, and said, "You might as well ask Concubine Xiande to cleanse the face of the fifth son in public, and see if there is a real mole on the forehead of the fifth son, or Fake mole!"

Concubine Xiande was panicked and looked at Wang Ziteng again and again, then said: "No... no... no..."

Wu Zhao said with a smile: "The imperial concubine, you are only cleaning the face of the child, and you are not harming the child. Are you afraid that the fifth son will fly away after cleansing?"

Concubine Xiande's heart ached from being poked by her, and she immediately cried out, "I... my son has caught the wind and cold because of missing the late emperor these days, so he can't... can't get wet..."

What she said was clearly sophistry, and the crowd immediately became even more uproarious. They looked at Concubine Xiande pointing and pointing, and everyone was not easy to be fooled. Hearing Concubine Xiande say this, they more or less had a conclusion in their hearts, not to mention ten percent, at least Seventy to eighty percent is there, this child... I'm afraid it's fake.

Wang Ziteng remained silent for a while, but at this moment, veins popped on his forehead, and he suddenly yelled hoarsely, "Lieutenant Long Ban listens to orders! The queen colluded with Qianxiang Kingdom, murdered the emperor, and now intends to murder the prince. The crime is heinous! I'll take it!!"

As he spoke, the whole audience was stunned. Wang Ziteng suddenly made an attack. Isn't this a sign of a dog jumping over the wall in a hurry?The queen has never been out of the capital, so why did she collude with the Qianxiang country and murder the emperor thousands of miles away?

Seeing that his fox tail was exposed, the queen smiled coldly and said, "Okay, let's take a look at Aijia, who dares to touch Aijia today!"

Wang Ziteng was watched by all the ministers, his face was even more bruised, and his rough voice hoarsely roared: "Don't do it yet?!"

He said, "哗啦——" With a sound, Captain Long gathered together and suddenly surrounded the hall, surrounded all the officials at once, and flashed his long sword.

For a moment, the hall was brightly illuminated by Captain Long's long sword, and the shadows of swords and swords were intricate. Everyone held their breath, and only the cry of the baby remained.

Wang Ziteng jumped over the wall in a hurry. He dominated Long Jinwei. The faces of the ministers suddenly turned blue, and no one dared to speak. At this time, King Beijing calmed down and said, "Wang Ziteng, how can you be presumptuous in the hall? You Is it blatant rebellion!"

Wang Ziteng laughed "haha" and said, "Rebellious?! I don't want to be rebellious, but don't force me!"

As soon as he said this, everyone was in an uproar. The matter of the prince jumping over the wall in a hurry was already confirmed, and it was obvious from his face.

King Beijing smiled leisurely, still with his signature gentle expression, and said, "What if I force you?"

Wang Ziteng yelled angrily, and said: "Then you, the king of Beijing County, will be the first to do the surgery! Someone, cut off his head for me! Hang it on the beam of the hall!"
