Rebirth as Princess Jin again

Yang Ming then said: "Our dynasty has always favored the virtuous rather than the elders. Doesn't Empress Chen Bin have any selfish motives in supporting her son like this?"

"Besides, the emperor was neither his direct descendant nor his eldest son, but he also fought for Xia Zhaoguo from east to west, and only then did he have the foundation of Xia Zhaoguo today. Only then did the late emperor appoint him as the crown prince, and the current prince is brave and good at fighting, and has a benevolent heart. Deeply loved by the people, the Crown Princess has extraordinary medical skills. Although she lives in the harem, she takes the lead when the Xia Zhao Kingdom suffers many disasters and saves the people from fire and water. Such women are the role models for our Xia Zhao Kingdom women. If the Crown Prince succeeds to the throne, she can Protect my Xia Zhao country for generations to come!"

"Yang Ming, you are so presumptuous. If you question me, you are questioning the emperor. It is the emperor's imperial edict that the emperor abdicates the throne to the second prince. Don't you even listen to the emperor's edict now?" Chen Bin shook her sleeves vigorously. , pointing at Yang Ming and said.

Yang Ming looked at Concubine Chen coldly and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, Concubine Chen is clearly using clever words to force the palace to usurp the throne. You can't watch her act like this. She is going to mess up the country of Xia Zhaoguo!"

Concubine Chen shouted with a cold eyebrow: "How brave! Yang Ming, as a censor, you have slandered me, do you know your guilt?"

Yang Ming sneered and said: "As a royal censor, I have to speak out. Your Majesty is so anxious to convict me. Could it be that I am right and am anxious to cover it up for myself."

Concubine Chen snorted coldly: "I think it's Mr. Yang who is the only one who can talk and persuade. Mr. Yang protects the prince so much. Is it because the prince promised you a high official and a generous salary? Do you know what the crime is for the prince to collude with the courtiers?"

Yang Ming was aroused by her words: "The prince has both political integrity and talent, and is respected by all the officials. The ministers only admire the prince's style. Everything the ministers say is for Xia Zhaoguo's century-old foundation, and the ministers must not look at it. The emperor made a wrong judgment and did not stop him at all. Even if he risks his future career today, he will never keep silent."

As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes slightly and pointed at Concubine Chen and said: "Today, the emperor felt something was wrong from the moment he went to court. In the past, the princes and princes were always with the emperor, but today they did not. And from the moment the emperor went to court, He didn't say a word, could it be that the empress used some method to make the emperor unable to speak?"

"Absurd!" Chen Bin looked at Yang Ming with sharp eyes: "Although you are the censor, I am also the emperor's concubine. How dare you be so presumptuous to me? Besides, the emperor is not a child. No matter how much I am favored by the emperor, , and how to deceive the emperor."

Yang Ming rolled his sleeves and said: "Anyway, the ministers and others feel that this edict is different. If you want me to believe it, then let the emperor tell the matter personally. If the emperor says it himself, I will have nothing to say!"

As soon as this statement came out, most of the courtiers in the court immediately agreed and unanimously asked the emperor to say it himself before they recognized the edict.

Chen Bin had already expected that things would not go so smoothly, but being opposed by most people was something she did not expect. But now that things have reached this point, she naturally will not back down easily.

She looked around, looked at the silent officials and asked, "What about you, are you going to be like them and even refuse to recognize the emperor's edict?"

After a moment of silence, an official stood up and said: "I believe that the emperor is now in good health, and suddenly announcing his abdication at this moment makes people feel uneasy. Moreover, there is already a prince, and suddenly announcing the abolition of the prince and the establishment of a new king. Such matters are related to the country. Even if important matters need to be announced, we should wait for the prince to come back before making a decision. Now that the prince is not here, it is really inappropriate for me to openly discuss the matter in the court."

The corners of Chen Bin's lips curled up in a cold arc, and a cold murderous intent flashed through her eyes: "The appointment of a new monarch has always been based on imperial edicts. Now I have an imperial edict written by the emperor himself, but you are unwilling to obey it. Seriously? Aren’t you afraid of the Emperor’s censure?”

The officials below looked at each other and talked quietly for a moment. One official stood up again and said, "If you can't hear what the emperor said personally, I forgive you and others for not obeying your order."

Chen Bin scanned everyone with her cold eyes and said indifferently: "You are determined to resist the decree, but have you ever thought about the consequences of resisting the decree?"

All the officials were silent, and no one said anything. Their attitude made it clear that they would not comply with this edict. Chen Bin nodded and said coldly: "Since the ministers insist on resisting the edict, then Then don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

Just before the officials could realize Chen Bin's intention, Chen Bin suddenly raised her voice and said, "Here comes someone!"

Before he finished speaking, several generals in armor strode in from outside the hall. One of them was Li Bao, the general who was promoted by Chen Xiao back then. He walked to the center of the hall, bowed respectfully towards Concubine Chen and said, "Your Majesty, are you here?" What orders?"

Chen Bin glanced at the officials below with cold eyes, pointed at them and said: "These officials are disobeying the order, take them down immediately."

"Yes!" Li Bao neatly pulled out the sword from his waist and said to the general behind him: "We will obey the order of Concubine Chen and escort you!"

Hearing this, the generals drew out their swords from their waists one after another. For a moment, the entire hall was in panic, and the murderous aura shocked the civil servants in the hall.

Su Quan narrowed his eyes slightly, pointed at Chen Bin and shouted angrily: "Is the empress trying to force the palace to rebel?"

Chen Bin glanced lightly and said calmly: "The Prime Minister's words are wrong. I am only safeguarding the imperial power. I think the ministers have been too comfortable in recent days, and the emperor has always been benevolent, which has encouraged some people." His ambitions even dare to disobey the emperor's will. I have no choice but to do this. If you can understand the current affairs, I will not make such a bad move. I also want to coexist peacefully with you. After all, even if the second prince ascends the throne , this court still needs your full help, doesn’t it?”

Su Quan gave a cold voice and said sternly: "It's full of nonsense. If the empress insists on supporting the second prince to the throne, she will kill all of us and step on our corpses to ascend the throne. If you want us to support the second prince to the throne, , Delusion!”

Concubine Chen glanced coldly at the officials below and said calmly: "Are you as determined as the Prime Minister to resist the decree?"

In the face of life and death, no one is not afraid. When the officials saw the cold blade, they began to hesitate.

Most of them are veterans of the previous dynasty, so they naturally know the cruelty of the change of imperial power. Who can't see that Chen Concubine's appearance today is to force the palace and seize the throne, but now the opponent has a knife in his hand, and there must be soldiers and horses outside. At this moment If you object, I am afraid you will die in this hall today.

But if they indulge Chen Bin, they will definitely not let it go once the prince returns to the capital. It is still unclear who will sit on the throne by then, but if the second prince is allowed to sit on the throne now, and the prince will set things right in the future, they will too If you rebel against the Party, your life will not be saved.
