Taiji Palace was completely silent.
All the officials were dumbfounded by Pei Ji's sudden appearance.
Greetings to His Majesty?
Long live Your Majesty?
Look carefully. The person sitting on top is only an eight-year-old child, not the current Emperor!
Li Yuanji couldn't help but berate him." Pei Ji, are you old and muddle-headed? Look at who's sitting up there. Is that His Majesty?"!”
Pei Ji kneeled on the ground and tilted his head to look at him. He said in a deep voice,
"Although I am old, I am not so muddle-headed that I cannot recognize Your Majesty.”
"Do you know why His Majesty has not come yet?”
Hearing this, the hearts of all the officials in the court jumped.
Li Jiancheng wasn't the only one who was confused about what the Emperor was doing. The civil and military officials were equally confused. The Emperor was usually conscientious and diligent, never missing the morning court session every day. But today, he had yet to show up!
"Prime Minister Pei, please explain what happened." Some officials couldn't help but ask.”
"That's right. Why hasn't His Majesty come yet?”
"Did something happen, or is His Majesty unwell today?”
Pei Ji looked at them and cupped his hands at Li Tai, who was sitting on the throne. He said in a loud voice,"His Majesty is fine and has not fallen ill. Can't you see that His Majesty is sitting on the throne?”
All the officials were puzzled.
See my ass!
The one sitting on the throne was His Majesty?
Isn't that Prince Qin's Fourth Prince, Li Tai?
This guy was still eating melon seeds?
Could he be the emperor?
Are you kidding me?
Seeing the bewilderment of the civil and military officials, Pei Ji stopped speaking in riddles. He stood up and took out an imperial edict from his bosom. With a solemn expression, he said in a clear voice,"The imperial edict has arrived. Seeing the imperial edict is like seeing His Majesty!”
The civil and military officials were confused, but they did not dare to be negligent. They hurriedly bowed and said in unison,"Long live Your Majesty!"
"Greetings, Saint!"
Pei Ji said indifferently. He then opened the imperial edict and lowered his head to read aloud,
"The supreme imperial edict of the Great Tang says: The Fourth Prince of King Qin's Residence, Li Tai, is talented and has the talent of an emperor.”
"Now that I am old, I can't bear the heavy responsibility of government affairs. From today onwards, I am the Supreme Emperor and abdicate the throne to the Imperial Grand Sun, Li Tai. All military power in the palace and the counties will be handed over to the Imperial Grand Sun. All matters in the court, regardless of size, will be entrusted to the Imperial Grand Sun to handle and decide.”
As soon as he finished speaking.
Li Jiancheng only felt dizzy and incredulous.
Imperial Father abdicated the throne?
However, he did not give the throne to the crown prince. Instead, he skipped him and handed the throne to Li Tai!？
In other words, the current Emperor was Li Tai?
His father didn't even want to be the Retired Emperor anymore, and directly became the Supreme Emperor?!
Then what does bengong, the crown prince, count as?!
Wouldn't it become a joke?
What is the reason for this palace to go through so much trouble today? Isn't it to prevent Li Er from having a chance to fight for the throne? We are about to defeat King Qin's Mansion and the Eastern Palace's efforts are about to bear fruit.
You suddenly told bengong that an eight-year-old child plucked bengong's peach?
Li Yuanji was equally shocked and cried out involuntarily,
"Has Imperial Father become muddle-headed, handing the throne to an eight-year-old child? Could it be that in his father's heart, an eight-year-old child was more important than the crown prince?”
"How can you say that about the Supreme Emperor? Too much!"
Suddenly, a tender voice sounded,""Someone, pull him out and beat him up first!”
The civil and military officials raised their heads in a daze and looked in the direction of the throne. They saw Li Tai, who was sitting on the throne, munching on melon seeds while blinking at them.
This was just a kid!
The hearts of the officials were in chaos. Some even wondered if Pei Ji, that old fart, had tampered with the imperial edict. Otherwise, how could the Emperor have handed the throne to Li Tai!
It wasn't just them. Du Ruhui and the other officials who were loyal to Prince Qin's Mansion were about to go crazy.
When they saw Li Tai ascend to the throne, everyone was filled with despair.
They could all imagine how the princelings would report. They would definitely write,'Li Tai must have been influenced by King Qin's Mansion to sit on the throne. He must have the intention to become the emperor. Although Li Tai was young and did not know much, where did this intention come from? It must have come from King Qin's Mansion.
Such a report would definitely be effective!
At that time, Prince Qin's Mansion would definitely be destroyed again!
Therefore, when they saw Li Tai sitting on the throne, the hearts of the officials who were loyal to King Qin's Mansion broke. Everything was over!
However, just as they were in despair.
Pei Ji suddenly jumped out and righteously told them that it was reasonable and legal for Li Tai to sit on the throne!
This was because His Majesty had abdicated and become the Supreme Emperor, handing the throne to Li Tai!
Turn around.
A huge turning point!
Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Zhangsun Wuji, and the others opened their mouths wide. They were shocked and delighted. They were delighted that everything the princelings had done today had been in vain. They were shocked that the Emperor had actually handed the throne to Li Tai. Who would have thought that this would happen!
In the Qin King's faction, Li Er had different thoughts from the others.
He was a little emotional.
