After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The Prince of Jin was discussing the funeral arrangements for the Prince of Rui with the officials of the Ministry of Rites when suddenly a eunuch came crawling into the room in a hurry: "Your Highness... Your Highness!"

The King of Jin asked seriously, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

The eunuch swallowed in horror and looked at the officials in the room. It was not right to say anything, nor was it right to not say anything.

King Jin said, "You can leave first. We will discuss King Rui's matter later."

Everyone should be.

Only Prince Jin and his confidant were left in the hall. He said calmly, "Speak!"

The eunuch was about to cry: "The Imperial Mausoleum...something happened in the Imperial Mausoleum!"

Prince Jin was currently worried about Prince Rui's funeral and asked casually, "What could possibly happen to the imperial mausoleum?"

The eunuch said: "General Wang...is dead!"

The memorial in Prince Jin's hand fell to the ground with a thud.

"Quickly inform my uncle! And the Imperial Master!"

"Yes Yes!"

Hu Lie and Gongsun Yanming arrived very quickly.

King Jin turned pale: "Uncle! Father-in-law!"

This time, the father-in-law was invited.

Gongsun Yanming cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness."

Hu Lie was in no mood for these false formalities, so he kept a sullen face and said nothing.

The King of Jin hurriedly asked, "Uncle, is the matter about the imperial mausoleum true? General Wang is dead? Who killed him? If he is dead, who is guarding the imperial mausoleum?"

"His Majesty has come out."

Hu Lie said.

The King of Jin's expression changed again: "Father left...left the imperial mausoleum? Uncle, you didn't...you didn't say..."

He was filled with panic. He looked at Hu Lie and then at Gongsun Yanming. "Father-in-law! Can you tell me the fortune?"

Gongsun Yanming said: "I have consulted the Imperial Astronomical Observatory and it is a very bad omen."

Prince Jin staggered and fell awkwardly into the chair.

Hu Lie said impatiently: "Don't encourage others and destroy your own prestige at this time. When His Majesty returns, none of us can escape! Instead of predicting good or bad luck, it's better to think about how to deal with it!"

King Jin looked at Gongsun Yanming and saw that he was calm and composed, not panicking. "Father-in-law, do you have any ideas?"

Gongsun Yanming said sternly: "There are two ways. One, kill your majesty, two, ascend the throne immediately."

"Immediately ascend the throne?"

Prince Jin murmured.

Gongsun Yanming took out a map from his wide sleeves and said, "Your Majesty, we can set up an ambush here, but since your Majesty has the Miao King by his side, it will be difficult to succeed."

King Jin clenched his fist and said, "Isn't King Miao your father's mortal enemy? Why are you helping your father?"

Gongsun Yanming continued, "Now is not the time to consider the motives of the Miao King. Although it is difficult to succeed, I still think we can give it a try in order to delay time and allow Your Highness to ascend the throne smoothly."

King Jin asked: "How can I... ascend the throne?"

Gongsun Yanming said: "Just say that His Majesty has passed away and passed the throne to His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin before his death."

King Jin said: "Ministers...will you believe it?"

Gongsun Yanming said slowly, "Your Highness has been the regent for a long time. The ministers have long regarded Your Highness as the best candidate for the crown prince."

King Jin hesitated: "But this..."

"That's it!"

Hu Lie made a prompt decision and glanced at Gongsun Yanming, "Although this general has always looked down on you charlatans, this time, this general agrees with your proposal."

"Your Highness, please prepare to ascend the throne!"

The last sentence was directed to King Jin.

The King of Jin looked at Gongsun Yanming.

Gongsun Yanming nodded.

Hu Lie put on his helmet and walked out.

The King of Jin asked, "Uncle, where are you going?"

Hu Lie said solemnly: "Guard the palace! Before your highness ascends the throne, I will never let anyone enter the palace!"

A surge of emotion surged in Prince Jin's chest.

Is he really...going to be the emperor?

After waiting for so many years, is his long-cherished wish finally going to come true?

When passing by Gongsun Yanming, Hu Lie stopped and said, "National Master, the matter of ascending the throne is now in your hands. You guys in Qianji Pavilion shouldn't have worked in vain all these years."

There is something in his words.

Gongsun Yanming bowed calmly and said, "General, take care."

Hu Lie immediately called on his trusted men, assembled a large army, and surrounded the imperial palace.

If the imperial mausoleum was not within the capital, he would actually want to guard the city gate.

But the palace gate is similar!

Even if the king of heaven came today, he would let his nephew ascend the throne!

Gongsun Yanming took out a booklet, which contained many "secrets" of officials. It was a good idea to use these things to threaten some disobedient people.

Anyone who refuses to listen will be killed.

Prince Jin ordered his men to return to the Prince Jin's Palace and take out the dragon robe that had already been prepared.

When Concubine Hu heard that her son was going to ascend the throne, she ran happily to the outside of Concubine Jiang Hui's bedroom to show off.

Concubine Jiang Hui closed the palace gates.

She originally wanted to rush out and beat up Concubine Hu, but was held back by Concubine Chen.

Concubine Chen was worried that she would not be able to withstand Concubine Hu's provocation, so she stayed in her bedroom to accompany her.

"Just be patient and wait. I believe in A-Yuan and Xiao-Jiu."

Concubine Jiang Hui sighed, "I'm feeling very nervous, always worrying that something might happen."

"Are you worried about your majesty?"

Princess Chen asked with a smile.

Although both of them were concubines of Emperor Liang, there was no jealousy between them.

Concubine Jiang Hui sighed: "How can I not worry about him? If he doesn't come back, who will pay me the ten thousand taels of silver he owes me?"

The Concubine Chen was amused by her.

She held Jiang Huifei's cold hand and said, "We will be back. Everyone will be safe."

She actually understands.

Concubine Jiang Hui was not worried about His Majesty, but Prince Fu.

Prince Fu had long been allied with the Crown Prince's Mansion. Once Prince Jin ascended the throne, the first person he would target would be Prince Fu.

Kunning Palace.

The queen sat in front of the bronze mirror, quietly looking at her own appearance.

"Time makes people grow old."

She said.

Yuanyang said: "The Queen doesn't look old at all, she is the same as when she was young!"

The queen smiled and said, "Prince Jin is about to ascend the throne, and I will be the queen mother."

Prince Jin put on the dragon robe.

Eunuch Yu was brought before him.

Looking at Prince Jin wearing the dragon robe, Eunuch Yu was so shocked that he was speechless.

The King of Jin said to him, "You are my father's confidant. From now on, I want you to be my confidant."

Eunuch Yu’s eyes flashed.

King Jin said: "If you don't agree, I'm afraid your godson's life will be gone."

Xiao Dezi, covered in wounds, was carried in front of Eunuch Yu by two eunuchs.

Xiao Dezi was dying with only his last breath left.

Eunuch Yu: "Little Dezi!"

Xiao Dezi said weakly: "Godfather...son...it's okay..."

“It’s really tough.”

Prince Jin smiled and said, "I know that you are pretending to surrender to me. In your heart, you have been looking forward to the return of your father. In fact, how can I not miss my father?"

At this point, his smile faded, his eyes filled with grief, "But my father... passed away!"

Eunuch Yu fell to his knees and crawled to the door on his knees: "Your Majesty!"

The eyes of the Prince of Jin were filled with tears. "Before my father passed away, he passed the throne to me. Chief Steward Yu, please follow me to the Jinluan Palace to announce the decree."
