Secret decree?

There was another uproar.

Because Eunuch Sheng cried too sadly, Han Huaixi also fed him a heart-nourishing pill.

"On the night the late emperor passed away, the eldest princess was captured, and Concubine Qi was drugged. All the secret guards around the emperor and Concubine Qi died, but this old servant managed to survive.

The reason I was able to survive was because of this secret decree. When the late emperor issued the secret decree, Emperor Zhaowen and I were both present.

The late emperor was worried that the imperial edict in the eldest princess's hand was not enough to allow Emperor Zhaowen to return to the throne in Prince Lin's palace, so he issued a secret edict to restrain him.

Over the years, in the eyes of outsiders, the old slave has been a loyal servant who followed the late emperor.

But how could I commit suicide when my mission was not yet completed? I was imprisoned in the torture chamber by Emperor Zhaowen and forced to tell him where the secret decree was.

Until a few days ago, when Prince Lin…Emperor Jilin entered the city, Emperor Zhaowen wanted to kill the old slave to silence him, but Feng Jia, who was by his side, saved the old slave.

Emperor Zhaowen glared at Feng Jia fiercely: "Are you a spy from Prince Lin's palace?"

Feng Jia shook his head: "Your Majesty, I have served you since I was little. I am the tool you use to vent all your dissatisfaction. I am not even a person, so how can I be a spy?"

When Emperor Zhaowen was still a prince, he was the eunuch beside Emperor Zhaowen.

Many times, he was beaten almost to death, and it was Eunuch Sheng who helped him.

Eunuch Sheng didn't want to say in front of Emperor Huiren that his son was cruel, so he deliberately led Emperor Huiren to see Feng Jia's wounds after he was beaten.

Emperor Huiren was kind-hearted and immediately transferred Feng Jia away.

That year Li Zhaocai was sixteen years old. Emperor Huiren felt that he had bad character, so he asked Liu Minghe to teach him.

But at that time Liu Minghe was already preparing to teach at Xueru Academy, and he really looked down on Li Zhaocai's character, so he refused.

All the eunuchs around Li Zhaocai were replaced by guards. Guards were different from eunuchs and could not be beaten or scolded at will.

After Feng Jia left Li Zhaocai, she went to serve Concubine Jiang.

Concubine Jiang was weak-willed and had never been favored by the emperor, so she had no close relationship with other people.

Feng Jia lived a peaceful life with Concubine Jiang until the late emperor passed away.

After that night, Concubine Jiang hid in her bedroom and cried all night.

Feng Jia knew that Concubine Jiang was not crying for the emperor, but for Concubine Qi.

Concubine Qi was poisoned and suffered a lot of torture. Concubine Jiang had no help at all and could not help at all. She could only secretly hide an injured female guard beside Concubine Qi.

After Concubine Qi died, the female guard went to Jiyang to find Prince Lin.

Unfortunately, due to injuries and natural disasters during those years, Prince Lin had no chance to return to Luocheng to avenge his mother.

After Emperor Zhaowen ascended the throne, Feng Jia thought that Eunuch Sheng, who had been so kind to him, was gone, so he found a way to return to serve Emperor Zhaowen.

Feng Jia was smart and capable, and soon became a eunuch valued by Emperor Zhaowen.

Feng Jia finally learned from the occasional mad words of Emperor Zhaowen that Eunuch Sheng was still alive.

Unfortunately, he never found where Eunuch Sheng was imprisoned.

Last May, Li Jixin and Li Jiren caused a big disturbance in Luocheng, and the people who had stayed in the palace before Li Jiren started to move.

Feng Jia and the seemingly invisible Jiang Fei also cover for these people when necessary.

A few days ago, when the palace was about to be breached, Chen Xinrong tried to set fire to it and burn everyone in the palace to death. Fortunately, Li Jiren got a hint from Han Qingyun and made preparations in advance.

Chen Xinrong's arson plan failed, and he wanted to silence Eunuch Sheng.

Feng Jia finally found out where Eunuch Sheng was imprisoned and rescued him.

Eunuch Sheng had suffered many inhuman tortures over the years. If Emperor Zhaowen had not ordered his men to hold back for fear of not being able to find the secret decree, Eunuch Sheng would have died long ago.

Even so, after Eunuch Sheng was taken out of the palace, it took Han Huaixi more than a month of medical skills to save his life.

Liu Zhiheng's voice trembled: "What does the secret decree say? Where is it?"

Eunuch Sheng looked at Li Ruijing and said, "Prince of Yan, please bring out the imperial edict from the late emperor passing the throne to Prince An."

Li Zhaoying, Han Qingyun and other quick-witted people had already guessed it, and they all stared with wide eyes in disbelief.

Li Ruijing was a little confused, so Liu Zhiheng poked him and said, "Go quickly!"

"Oh, I see. I'll go, I'll go."

The imperial edicts of the Li family were all kept in the Taimiao and managed by the Zongzheng Temple.

An hour later, Prince Cheng and Prince Yan returned with an imperial edict.

Liu Zhiheng and others took the imperial edict and asked, "Which edict is it? The content hasn't changed. Where is the secret edict?"

Eunuch Sheng's eyes were red: "It's sandwiched between the layers of this imperial edict."

The imperial edict of Dayu was written on dense silk and was very thin.

No one would have thought that the imperial edict could have a layer and contain something inside.

Liu Zhiheng was both excited and nervous: "How do I tear it open? Will it damage the secret decree inside?"

Han Qingyun took the imperial edict of succession, touched it carefully, and had an idea in his mind.

Lu Yanyan handed over his small charcoal stove for warming his hands.

Han Qingyun spread the imperial edict on the table, carefully moved the charcoal stove, and asked Li Jixin to use a blade as thin as a cicada's wing to break the interlayer bit by bit.

The two men worked for half an hour on a not-so-big imperial edict, and finally pulled out a piece of cloth sandwiched inside intact.

Li Jixin wiped the sweat from his forehead and handed the cloth to Liu Zhiheng.

"I, with my noble virtue, have inherited the great foundation. My eldest son, Zhaoying, was already the Crown Prince, and my grandson, Jiren, was also the Crown Prince. Unfortunately, Heaven did not give him a long life, leaving me with no one to look after him. My grandson, Jixin, is gifted and intelligent, as great as his father and brother. He will carry on the legacy and deserves the throne. Unfortunately, he is still young, so I now have my son, Zhaocai, to temporarily oversee the country for three years. Crown Prince Jixin, at the age of learning, will carry on the ancestral temple sacrifices and continue the foundation of the country. You, the officials, both inside and outside the court, will each do your utmost to guide Jixin, so that his virtue and accomplishments will continue to improve and fulfill my wishes. This announcement shall be made to all under heaven."

There was silence all around until the cries of Prince Yan and Prince Cheng were heard.

This secret decree was written by Emperor Huiren himself, and was stamped with not only the imperial seal but also Emperor Huiren's own small seal.

According to the secret decree, Li Zhaoying had already been the crown prince, which corresponded to the decree to appoint the crown prince mentioned by the eldest princess.

Li Jiren was the crown prince, which was what everyone thought of. Li Jiren was named by the late emperor. The "Ren" in his name was the "Ren" of Emperor Huiren. There was no dispute that he was carried to court by the late emperor when he was three or four years old.

Heaven did not grant them long life, and they were forever lost. Emperor Huiren thought that Li Zhaoying and Li Jiren were both dead.

Crown Prince Ji Xin, at the age of aspiring to study, will inherit the ancestral temple sacrifices and continue the country's foundation. This means that Li Ji Xin already has the title of crown prince and will ascend the throne to become emperor when he turns fifteen.

Li Zhaoying looked up and forced back the tears.

He once blamed his father for abandoning him when he was in the most difficult time, and even more for not taking good care of his mother.

The more you care, the less you can forgive.

After that incident, he always called his father Emperor Huiren and the late Emperor.

It's not that he didn't have doubts, but the long period of sleep and Ji Yang's trivial matters left him no time to investigate what had happened.

Until he knew the truth, guilt kept gnawing at his heart.

It was obviously his own carelessness that led him to fall into someone else's scheme, causing his father and mother to be heartbroken over his "death".

Because of this secret decree and the testimony of the eldest princess and Eunuch Sheng, the question that Li Zhaoning had asked Ruan Xinyu before, "Does this Dayu belong to him, Li Zhaocai?", now has an answer.

The throne of Dayu should have belonged to Li Zhaoying. Even if Emperor Huiren mistakenly believed that both Li Zhaoying and Li Jiren had passed away, the throne should have been returned to Li Jixin two years ago...
