"Li Ran, I would like to ask the emperor to clarify his doubts. Is the emperor's succession edict true?"
Li Ran strode into the hall.
His appearance also caused some commotion in the hall.
"What do you mean, Fifth Prince? Can Prince Jing's edict be false?"
"Your Majesty has long planned to pass the imperial edict to Prince Jing. How can the matter of the edict be trivial? Don't let the fifth prince talk nonsense!"
Those ministers who supported King Jing took the lead in attacking Li Ran without the need for King Jing to speak.
Li Ran glanced at them, "I haven't finished speaking yet, so why are you talking nonsense?"
"Fifth Prince, this matter is of great importance. What evidence do you have to prove that the edict is false?" Several veterans couldn't help but ask.
Li Ran cupped his hands towards the veterans, "Of course I have evidence, because the succession edict in my hand is true!"
"The fifth prince also has a succession edict?" All the ministers were stunned.
"Yes, what I have in my hand is the real edict issued by my father!" Li Ran said.
"Huh, what a joke!" A minister sneered, "Everyone knows that the emperor was harmed by Li Qi'an and was poisoned by salt and fell into a coma. I'm afraid the fifth prince has never even seen the emperor, so how can he have a successor?" An edict?"
"Master Min is right. I have indeed not seen my father since his accident. Has Master Min seen it? Did you see the emperor issuing Prince Jing's edict with your own eyes?" Li Ran said, "Besides, you I have never even met the Emperor, how can I know whether the Emperor is unconscious or not?"
"What if I say that the emperor is just weak and can't get out of bed? Although I have never seen the emperor, but someone has seen him, what should you think?"
Mr. Min was speechless for a moment.
Li Ran ignored him and faced the ministers, "I know there is no basis for what I say, but there is one person who can testify for me, and he will read the edict."
Then he shouted to the outside of the hall, "Eunuch Wang, come in!"
Wang Chun immediately came to the palace holding the edict in his hand.
Then read it loudly.
After reading it out, he held the edict high for all the ministers to see.
"This edict was issued by the emperor, and this old slave can bear witness!"
Looking at the clear jade seal above, all the ministers looked at each other.
Although Prince Jing's edict was also stamped with a jade seal, the fifth prince's edict was read out by Wang Chun, so it was somehow more convincing than Prince Jing's edict.
The ministers who supported Prince Jing didn't know what to do for a moment.
For some other ministers, it doesn't actually matter whether the edict is true or false. The heaven of Dacheng Dynasty will definitely be changed. What matters is how they choose.
Therefore, everyone was silent for a while.
Prince Jing, on the other hand, looked calm, "Fifth brother, you stole the jade seal and forged the imperial edict. It's really unbelievable."
"Yes, this edict of yours is a forgery!" Master Min immediately said. Li Ran choked him, almost making him confused. Wouldn't he say it was a forgery?
Immediately, the ministers who supported King Jing began to angrily rebuke Li Ran.
Li Ran smiled and said, "Brother, do you have any evidence that I am forgery? Do you want to invite your father to come out and give everyone a witness?"
Prince Jing lightly tapped the armrest, "Fifth brother, you have indeed made great progress. You know that I can't invite Father, but I said that your edict is a forgery, which means it is a forgery. Ask all the ministers if they have any opinions. ?」
His eyes also glanced around those ministers who had not yet expressed their stance.
The ministers could not help but lower their heads.
After all, even if the fifth prince had Eunuch Wang as a witness, he would still be too weak.
King Jing is powerful, and if they are not careful, they may end up like Cui Guojiu.
Ever since King Jing said that Uncle Cui Guo could not come, they thought that Uncle Cui Guo had met with something unexpected.
"Look, all the ministers have no objections, so fifth brother, your edict is fake!" Prince Jing said with a smile.
"I can testify that the fifth prince's edict is true!"
