I have already established my power and prestige, so how did Li Shimin come back to life?

Zhang Sun Wuji continued, "I do have a copy of the late emperor's will here. It was handed to me and His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei personally by His Majesty. I ask His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei to bear witness to this!"

Li Tai nodded excitedly upon hearing what Changsun Wuji said, and hurriedly said, "Yes, I testify that this will was indeed given by my father to me and Lord Changsun. It contains two edicts. According to my father's last words, one is the edict deposing the crown prince, and the other is the edict establishing the future ruler!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the officials in the court were in an uproar and started whispering to each other.

They looked at Changsun Wuji and Li Tai with eyes full of suspicion. This matter seemed weird no matter how they looked at it, and it didn't seem real.

Fang Xuanling glanced at Li Shimin calmly, and Li Shimin shook his head slightly, his eyes revealing his rejection of the will. At the same time, Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde and others also keenly received the signal conveyed by Li Shimin.

What does this mean? This clearly proves that Zhangsun Wuji and the King of Wei are in collusion. They are forging the imperial edict. Even now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in danger of his life. He may have already fallen victim to their murderous schemes!

Yuchi Jingde's face flushed with anger. He clenched his fists and was about to explode when he suddenly felt Li Shimin's piercing gaze fixed on him, a look filled with warning. Although Yuchi Jingde was seething with rage, he suppressed his anger and slowly retreated, his furious gaze still fixed on Changsun Wuji and Li Tai.

Li Shimin observed the expressions of everyone in the court calmly. He had just taken a quick look around.

He found that less than 20% of the officials had doubtful expressions on their faces, while the other 80% of the officials looked confident and composed, as if they had already known that the outcome of today's court meeting would be like this.

Li Shimin was shocked, and he understood almost instantly that the aristocratic families must be behind this and fanning the flames.

For their own interests, these aristocratic families attempted to manipulate the court and support the princes who were beneficial to them to ascend to the throne.

Li Shimin's eyes turned cold, and he glanced at Li Tai, who was still gloating, with disappointment in his eyes. In his heart, Li Tai had completely lost the qualification to inherit the throne by doing so.

He secretly made up his mind that if things got out of control, he would be ready to step forward, mobilize the army to suppress everyone here, and then reveal his true identity to restore order to the Tang Dynasty.

"Now, I will read the edict deposing the crown prince!" Zhangsun Wuji's expression was serious as he unfolded the edict and began to read it. As his voice echoed in the court, every word struck the hearts of some ministers like a heavy hammer.

After the edict to depose the crown prince was read, Wei Zheng could no longer suppress his anger. He rushed forward like a mad bull and kicked Changsun Wuji.

The kick was so fast and fierce that Changsun Wuji was caught off guard and was kicked back a few steps. However, he was quickly stopped by the gang members on both sides and pulled aside.

Wei Zheng roared angrily, "Zhangsun Wuji! Do you know what you are doing? You are forging an imperial decree! The Crown Prince has always been diligent and dedicated to the Tang Dynasty, and has done nothing wrong. How could His Majesty depose a Crown Prince who has done nothing wrong for no reason? You are forcing the emperor to abdicate, you are rebelling! Aren't you afraid of divine punishment?"

There was a flame of anger burning in his eyes, and the voice echoed in the court, making everyone's ears buzz.

Changsun Wuji, however, was not angry. He straightened his clothes, looked at Wei Zheng calmly, and said slowly, "You know I, Changsun Wuji, have always been fair in my actions. How could I do such a treasonous thing? Lord Wei, please do not act rashly. Please listen to the contents of the edict from the successor monarch. It will not be too late to make a decision."
