Chapter 3 The contract given by the Queen Mother

When Pei Yunhe returned to the Palace of the Six Sages.

Staff member He Jinming and others were already waiting impatiently.

"My lord, you are finally back." He Jinming stepped forward to greet him.

"The Queen Mother has sent people to urge you three times, please go to the palace as soon as possible."

Pei Yunhe frowned, "Why is it so urgent?"

He Jinming shook his head, "It is understood that all members of the royal family have received the message. Except for a few princes in other places, everyone else must arrive within three hours, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?"

"Otherwise, the gate of the palace will be closed, no one will be allowed to enter, they will not be able to arrive on time, and all titles and rights will be stripped away." He Jinming said.

Pei Yunhe paused slightly while changing his clothes.

He always thought it was a conspiracy.

However, his doubts were gradually dispelled when he saw that the Queen Mother's battle was so large that it even alarmed the entire royal family.

Especially, the Queen Mother actually wanted to close the palace door.

This is absolutely unusual.

Perhaps, something urgent happened in the palace.

Pei Yunhe changed into plain clothes and prepared to enter the palace.

"By the way, Your Majesty," He Jinming said, "Miss Chaoyan is here."

Pei Yunhe said expressionlessly, "What is she here for?"

"She didn't say anything, she just asked me to give this to you." He Jinming took out a letter and said, "She also said that if the prince is in trouble, just open it and take a look."

Pei Yunhe did not open it.

He carelessly thrust the letter into his arms.

"If she comes again, find any reason to send her away." When Pei Yunhe said these words, there was obvious impatience in his eyes.

He appreciates a woman who is strong and can be used by him.

Previously, he thought Qu Chaoyan was qualified to stand by his side.

But after seeing Qu Chaoyan beaten by Liu Yunzhou several times, he couldn't help but feel a little disgusted in his heart.

He Jinming was startled for a moment and didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he hurriedly responded.

There was a solemn atmosphere in the palace.

As soon as he entered, Pei Yunhe felt a very depressing feeling.

This feeling made him more and more certain that in addition to Pei Qingyan's death, there were also urgent events in the palace.

This event was enough to overturn the imperial court.

Pei Yunhe thought all the way to the designated palace.

When the Queen Mother saw Pei Yunhe arriving, she pinched her eyebrows and said, "Since everyone is here, let's close the palace door."

The Queen Mother gives an order.

The palace gate was closed.

The palace is surrounded by layers of guards, making it airtight.

After the palace gate is closed.

The Queen Mother got down to business.

Her voice was tired, "I summon you here in such a hurry because the Ai family has something important to announce."

"The previous regent, Pei Qingyan, died of poisonous poison. A new regent must be elected. The prince is young, so this matter must be done as soon as possible. This is one of them."

"Second..."

When the Queen Mother said this, her mood suddenly collapsed.

She couldn't help but turn her head.

After calming down for a long time, she spoke again, "The emperor's condition has taken a turn for the worse, I'm afraid...it will happen within this half month."

"The prince is young and the regent passed away suddenly. If the emperor dies again, the Ai family cannot imagine what will become of Chiyun Congress. The Ai family has called everyone here to inform you of this. I hope that all the royal families can unite as one and help each other. The young prince succeeds to the throne."

"It's not that the Ai family doesn't believe in you. The Ai family has no choice but to do so. Therefore, the Ai family has called you here this time and hopes that you can sign this contract."

After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she nodded to Princess An and Princess.

Princess Anhe delivered the contract to all the royal family members.

When the royal family members saw the contents of the contract, their expressions changed greatly.

The contents of this contract are very overbearing.

There is a lot of content in the contract and it is written in a high-sounding way.

However, to sum it up it probably means:

First, let them voluntarily give up their real power, and each clan will receive a fief. The royal family will leave Yunjing City to live in the fief and cannot return to the capital without an edict.

Secondly, each clan can only divide the fiefdom among its children and grandchildren. After the children and grandchildren become biological children, they can continue to divide the fiefdom in their own small fiefdoms, and so on.

Third, there is a regent, and the tentative candidate is Prince Gong, the uncle of the current emperor.

The faces of the royal family members became very ugly when they looked at the contract.

These people are princes, vassal princes, county princes, etc. They have noble status, and many of them hold financial, military and political power in their hands.

On the surface, the contract gave them powers, but in fact it deprived them of their rights.

Especially the second one.

The princes could only carve out a small piece of land for their descendants. If things continued like this, the land allocated to each person would probably be less than the size of a village. This would seriously weaken their power.

As for the third...

Prince Gong becomes the regent!

Prince Gong has eccentricities, he is very serious, and he abides by etiquette, but he will go above and beyond if he goes a little bit wrong, which is very annoying.

They were the ones that Prince Gong disliked the most in his life. If Prince Gong became the regent, he would definitely take action against them as a warning to others.

"Queen Mother, what do you mean?" One of the old princes stood up and said angrily, "We are all members of the royal family of the past dynasties, and we are the princes granted by the emperors of the past dynasties. As a woman, what qualifications do you have to change the legacy left by your ancestors? rules?"

As soon as the old prince came forward.

Others also followed suit.

They were angry, and you said something to me.

The Queen Mother listened to their conversation quietly and did not express her opinion.

The royal family members denounced angrily for a long time. Seeing that the Queen Mother kept staring at them coldly without saying a word, it was meaningless.

The old prince simply stood forward and waved the contract, "I do not agree."

"Yes, we don't agree either."

"There's no way we can agree on this."

"Have you finished?" The Queen Mother glanced at everyone coldly, "This time, the Ai family is not asking for your opinion, the Ai family is just informing you."

"Whether you disagree or agree, the Ai family has no objection."

"However, if you don't agree, it is tantamount to resisting the decree. Don't blame the Ai family for being cruel." The Queen Mother waved.

Immediately countless purple flame troops surrounded him.

The palace door is closed.

The royal family members were unarmed, and after being surrounded by the Ziyan Army, their expressions changed drastically.

"What do you mean?" The old prince was so angry that his face turned green.

"Don't blame the Aijia. This is also for the country and the country." The Queen Mother said, "If you disagree, it is treason, and everyone will be punished as treason."

"The choice is yours, you can choose."

Everyone was furious.

They were furious, but the Purple Flame Army had surrounded them.

They are like meat on the chopping board and can only be slaughtered.

Pei Yunhe, who was hiding in the crowd, secretly clenched his fists.

Just as Liu Yunzhou expected, even if Pei Qingyan died, he would not be the regent.

Not only could he not become the regent, he would also be driven out of Yunjing City.

After leaving Yunjing City, it will be difficult to come back.

If you want to break the situation, unless...

Get started first!

Pei Yunhe's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
