Although the Great Xia law had a rule on inheritance from the beginning of the dynasty, it was only effective when the vassal king suddenly died without leaving any imperial edict.
Now that there were so many twists and turns, the matter of the secret edict could only be decided by the vassal states themselves.
Otherwise, even if he reported it to the Great Xia Dynasty, he would only receive a neutral reply.
After all, the current Grand Xia Empire couldn't even take care of itself, let alone meddle in the affairs of the vassal states.
"Since the late king has a secret edict, we should follow the late king's will and support the second young master to succeed the throne!”
Seeing that the old minister was in a dilemma, the time was ripe.
Situ Wangmin immediately stepped forward and bowed slightly, expressing his stance.
Sikong Geqi and the ministers who had discussed this earlier stepped forward and bowed to the secret edict.
"We should follow the secret edict of the former king and respect the second young master as the monarch of the Jiang Country!”
……
A total of seven or eight voices in support of the second young master inheriting the throne resounded throughout the main hall.
For a moment, the other ministers who had yet to express their views looked at the two people standing in front of the leader. Their pupils constricted, as if they had suddenly become enlightened.
Situ, Sikong.
Situ is in charge of civil affairs and household registration. Sikong is in charge of land and taxes.
It could be said that in the Jiang Kingdom, Sima and Sikou were the leaders of the ministers.
Now that the Second Mistress and the Second Young Master had long obtained the support of these two important officials, it was no wonder that they were so confident about the Second Young Master's succession to the throne.
When everyone saw this, they couldn't help but turn their gazes towards Sima and Sikou, who similarly had great authority.
At this moment, Sima Chu Zhongyi, who was in charge of the military, and Sikou Fuguang, who was in charge of the criminal lawsuit, were both resting with their eyes closed.
It was as if this matter had nothing to do with him, as if he was hanging high up in the air, as if he did not hear anything about the imperial court.
Everyone recalled that from the beginning of the court meeting until now, the two of them had never expressed any opinions on the second young master's succession.
He neither supported nor opposed it.
The two of them seemed to have become completely transparent. No one knew what they were thinking.
"Hahaha…"
"Ridiculous! Ridiculous!"
Just as nearly ten physicians stepped forward to support the Second Young Master, a hopeful look appeared on Jiang Tianhai's face.
A furious roar resounded through the hall. The words were fierce, and even Situ and Sikong, the two important officials, were not in his eyes.
Everyone's hearts twisted as they hurriedly looked over.
An old man with white hair and a beard, but his figure was still quite hale and hearty, walked to the center of the hall.
The old man stood straight, and there seemed to be remnants of Righteousness Qi all over his body.
At this moment, his face was still a little red from anger.
However, the other party did not care at all. Even when he met the Second Madam's somewhat cold gaze, he did not retreat at all.
"In the main hall, why did Master Zuo say such vulgar words?
Could it be that Master Zuo was bold enough to ignore the edict of the late king after his death?!”
Situ Wangmin frowned slightly. His voice echoed faintly in the main hall, seemingly causing the temperature in the hall to drop a little.
"Hehe, this old man naturally doesn't dare to violate the late king's posthumous edict!”
"Lord Wang, you don't have to use your official position to pressure me. This old man has served the Jiang Kingdom for more than forty years.
I asked myself whether I was worthy of the monarch and the people. I have no qualms about what I have done!"
"But today, I saw someone plotting to seize the throne, ignoring the laws of Great Xia and rebelling against the court! He had no choice but to step forward!
Otherwise, the Jiang Kingdom will be destroyed by a woman!”
When the words of Left Master Cheng Yu fell on the hall, many of the ministers who did not support Jiang Tianhai's succession to the throne instantly broke out in cold sweat.
"Destroyed by a woman…"
"This…this Zuo shi really dares to say this!”
The meaning in Cheng Yu's words was almost self-evident.
Many people turned their gazes to the second wife, Zhao Ji, who was currently sitting on the throne.
Sure enough, after Cheng Yu spoke, the other party's face had already shown a kind of anger.
Conspiracy to seize the throne, rebellion…What a big label…
"Cheng Yu! How can you spout nonsense in the main hall of the imperial court?!”
Situ Wangmin's eyes widened as he turned around and shouted angrily.
"Now that the late king's posthumous edict has been verified by the doctors, if Master Zuo doesn't believe it, you can check if it's true!
Now that the edict has not been investigated, Zuo Shi has wantonly attacked the courtiers. What is his intention?!
Wang Min's voice echoed in his ears, but Cheng Yu's expression did not change at all.
His gaze was like an unsheathed sword as he swept his gaze across Situ Wangmin. Then, he suddenly laughed out loud.
Until the courtiers could not understand what Zuo shi was laughing about.
Cheng Yu stopped laughing and said,"
"Lord Wang, don't confuse the public!
This old man said before that if it was the late king's posthumous edict, this old man would not interfere.”
"But a posthumous edict is a posthumous edict, and a secret edict is a secret edict!
It has been several days since the late king passed away, and now the Second Mistress suddenly took out the secret edict to talk about it. Did she really think that this old man's eyes were blurry?
I would like to remind all of you, don't forget who was the one who kept the royal seal after the death of the previous king.!”
"Impudent!"
As soon as Cheng Yu finished speaking, the angry rebuke of the Second Lady, Zhao Ji, followed from above.
Killing people and killing people's hearts is nothing more than this.
She was just short of pointing at her nose and scolding her for conspiring to falsify the imperial edict and subvert the Jiang Kingdom!
