Li Er looked up at Li Tai, who was sitting on the throne. It was impossible to tell whether he was crying or smiling.
So what the green sparrow said was true?
Did he really sit on the throne?
I was only joking, I didn't really let you sit on the throne!
You sit on the throne.
What should I do?
Li Er felt like his head was about to explode.
Green Sparrow, you brat, do you know that your father is actually determined to obtain the throne? It seemed like King Qin's Mansion was being suppressed, but the core of King Qin's Mansion, Du Ruhui and the others, were always by his side. Just give him some time, even if it was just a month!
The world would change hands!
The person sitting on the throne would be his father!
The Eastern Palace was not worth mentioning!
But Green Sparrow, you brat, you beat me to it!
Wouldn't all these years of fighting be in vain?？
No, it's not just me!
Li Er tilted his head and looked at Li Jiancheng. His face was pale and his entire body was trembling. Clearly, he did not expect that the result of the fight between the snipe and the clam would be the fisherman who benefited in the end!
Li Er sighed. Who was the most hateful person?
Those who plucked peaches were the most hateful!
However, Li Tai is my fourth brother. If only he wasn't my biological son, I would have killed him!
Taiji Palace was eerily quiet.
All the officials were stunned.
The civil officials and generals of the Eastern Palace were dumbfounded.
The generals and civil officials of King Qin's Mansion were all at a loss.
If the throne is stolen, then what are we still fighting for?
Li Tai sat cross-legged on the throne, munching on melon seeds while blinking at them. These people's expressions were really interesting. They looked like the expressions of those who estimated 150 points in the college entrance examination and ended up getting 510 points.
Aren't you surprised?
Aren't you surprised?
I, Li Tai, am now the Emperor!
At this moment, Pei Ji suddenly coughed lightly, attracting the attention of all the officials. He then took out another imperial edict and said in a deep voice,""Fellow colleagues, this old man has an imperial edict!”
There was even an imperial edict?
All the officials trembled and raised their heads to look at him.
"This imperial edict was given to His Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness the King of Qin, and His Highness the King of Qi before the Supreme Emperor abdicated!”
"Your Highnesses, please come forward to receive the edict!" Pei Ji said with a solemn expression.”
Li Jiancheng, Li Er, and Li Yuanji hurriedly bowed with their hands folded in front of them, but they could not hide the shock in their eyes.
Other than giving the throne to Li Tai, did Imperial Father also give it to them? Could it be that he wanted them to assist Li Tai? Impossible, they knew their father's temper. He would never be so willing to abdicate!
Furthermore, he was giving the throne to an eight-year-old child!
Isn't this absurd?
An eight-year-old child knows how to govern a country?
He would probably be played to death by the powerful ministers!
Pei Ji did not let them wait any longer. He opened the imperial edict and said loudly,
" The supreme imperial edict says: Crown Prince Jiancheng of the Eastern Palace, Shimin of Prince Qin's Residence, and Li Yuanji of King Qi are brothers of the royal family, yet they are at odds with each other. I have tried to mediate but failed. I have been bent on suppressing each other and have no virtue to this extent. I am furious and will immediately depose Jiancheng as Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, dismiss Shimin as General of Heavenly Strategy, and dismiss Yuanji from all his posts in the palace. The three of them will be at the disposal of Li Tai, the Great Sun of the Emperor!”
After hearing the content, Li Jiancheng, Li Er, and Li Yuanji's expressions changed drastically. They suddenly raised their heads and looked at Pei Ji in shock.
The officials were in disbelief.
His Majesty actually stripped the Crown Prince, King Qin, and King Qi of their official positions?!
Furthermore, he would be given full authority to deal with the Fourth Prince?
Did he really give all the power to Li Tai?
At this moment, Pei Ji glanced at the three people who were in a daze. He did not care about them. He rolled up the imperial edict in his hand and said indifferently,
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness the King of Qin, Your Highness the King of Qi, His Majesty has also asked this old minister to bring two sentences over.'If you want others to not know, you must not do it'.”
If you want others to not know, unless you don't do it yourself?
Could it be…
His Majesty knows?
The officials who were loyal to the Eastern Palace were terrified.
Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, and the others were even more panicked.
Li Jiancheng, Li Er, and Li Yuanji's faces were pale, and their bodies were trembling slightly. They finally understood. It turned out that their father had removed all their positions because he knew about the conspiracy. In order to prevent them from succeeding and causing the brothers to kill each other, their father had abdicated the throne to Li Tai!
And now, he was handing them over to Li Tai to deal with.
Whether or not he could continue to stay in the royal court depended on a single word from Li Tai!
Suddenly, one of the officials from the Ministry of Rites couldn't help but say,""Prime Minister Pei, I think that Your Majesty's actions are too childish. There should be a grand ceremony to announce the abdication to the world. I think that Your Majesty should reconsider!”
Pei Ji glanced at him and said indifferently,"
"The Supreme Emperor said that everything should be simple! "Moreover, you don't have to worry. Although the abdication process is simple, we have to announce it to the world. Last night, the palace sent someone to inform the world. After today, the world will know the news of the Supreme Emperor abdicating his grandson!”
The official from the Ministry of Rites wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, he shut his mouth and retreated.
What else could he say?
Pei Ji looked at Li Jiancheng, Li Er, and Li Yuanji. He held the imperial edict high in front of them and said solemnly,""Your Highnesses, please accept the decree!"
Li Jiancheng, Li Er, and Li Yuanji looked up at the imperial edict in silence.
After a long time, three palms pressed on the imperial edict.
"Jiancheng, accept the decree."
"Shimin, accept the decree."
"Yuanji, accept the decree."
Three hoarse voices resounded in Taiji Palace.
The officials looked at the three dejected majesties with mixed feelings.
Everyone in the court could see that the battle between the princeling party and the Qin King's faction would end up with both sides suffering losses. There was no optimal solution. However, His Majesty had suddenly taken drastic measures and abdicated the throne to Li Tai. The core of the battle between the princeling party and the Qin King's faction was suddenly gone!
In exchange, His Majesty became the Supreme Emperor.
The Crown Prince was deposed, the King of Qin was stripped of his power, and the King of Qi was stripped of all his duties!
The new emperor, eight-year-old Li Tai, ascended the throne!
The dust settled.
All the officials in the court looked at each other, and finally raised their heads to look at Li Tai. After a long silence, someone suddenly knelt on the ground.
Then, a second person, a third person, a fourth person…
In the end, all the civil and military officials knelt on the ground.
In Taiji Palace, a chorus of voices rang out.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"Long live Your Majesty!"
