Chapter 2033: Ascension to the throne tomorrow

Forging an imperial edict is a capital crime!

Zhao Lun knew this before.

However, he had to do this for his own life and for his future.

Everything was going smoothly, everyone who knew about it was dead, and the seal on the edict was real. As long as he waited a few days, he could sit on the throne he dreamed of and become the emperor of Yanfeng Kingdom. By then, even if No matter how many doubts there were before, it didn't matter, the entire Yanfeng Kingdom would respect him.

But Zhao Lun did not expect that things would change at this time. Hou Zhong, a bastard, arrested Imperial Doctor Liu without any scruples, and did not give himself any face. This made Zhao Lun very angry, and in anger I felt more panic in my heart.

Zhao Lun actually didn't know much about Imperial Physician Liu. He only knew that he had conflicts with Yuan Ji, but Zhao Lun didn't know what kind of person he was. Before, he thought it didn't matter. They were in the same boat anyway. , Doctor Liu did it himself for forging the imperial edict, which is a capital crime in itself, and Zhao Lun did not believe that Doctor Liu would report him.

But the situation is different now. Even though Imperial Physician Liu will not take the initiative to report this matter, whether he can withstand Hou Zhong's interrogation is a big question mark. Zhao Lun has heard about Hou Zhong's interrogation methods before. , Imperial Physician Liu has delicate skin and tender flesh, Zhao Lun really doesn’t believe that he can resist forever. The question now is, how long Imperial Physician Liu can resist, and whether he can persist until he ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor.

As long as he ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor, he can convict Hou Zhong of his crimes and put him in prison. At that time, the imperial edict will no longer affect him. On the contrary, if Liu Taiyi fails to persist until that time, he is afraid that he If you want to ascend the throne and become emperor, it will become extremely difficult.

"No, we can't put all our hopes on him!" Zhao Lun said to himself: "I have to ascend the throne and proclaim myself emperor as soon as possible!"

Thinking of this, Zhao Lun couldn't sit still for a moment, and immediately led people to the yamen of the Minister of Rites. After seeing Qi Kai, he said bluntly: "Shang Shu, Qi, I want to ascend the throne and proclaim myself emperor tomorrow!"

"Ah?" Qi Kai looked at Zhao Lun in shock. After realizing that Zhao Lun was not joking, he quickly said: "Your Highness, this... this is impossible. The enthronement ceremony is a big event. There are too many things to prepare, and one day is not enough. Ten days, you give me ten days, I..."

"I can't wait that long!" Zhao Lun said with a gloomy face: "All ceremonies will be simplified, and I will ascend the throne tomorrow! If you can't do it, after I ascend the throne, your position as the Minister of Rites will be yours." "

Before the incident, Zhao Lun didn't mind waiting for ten days. With the Holy Purpose at his disposal, he didn't panic at all. No matter how others tried, the throne would still be his in the end.

But things are different now. The development of things is beyond his control and expectation. He can't wait for that long. He must ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor as soon as possible. Only in this way can hidden dangers be eliminated.

Listening to Zhao Lun's words, Qi Kai felt deeply pressured and embarrassed at the same time. This embarrassment was not only because of your previous promise to Zhao Xuan, but more importantly, the time in the day was indeed too tight.

Qi Kai wanted to say something else, but when he saw Zhao Lun's face full of determination, he was obviously determined. Although he didn't know why Zhao Lun was so anxious suddenly, he also understood that it was useless to say anything else at this time.

"Give me a guarantee, can you do this?" Zhao Lun asked.

Qi Kai hesitated, then gritted his teeth and said, "Yes!"

"Very good." Zhao Lun finally showed a smile on his face and said, "Qi Shangshu, if you have taken care of this matter, I will not treat you badly after I ascend the throne."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Qi Kai quickly said.

Zhao Lun looked at Qi Kai, encouraged him a few words, and then left with the others.

Looking at Zhao Lun's back, Qi Kai's expression was a little ugly. Zhao Lun really posed a problem for him, but since he had agreed to it, he had to work hard to do it, otherwise, he, the Minister of Etiquette, would really It's time to get to the end.

Thinking of this, Qi Kai looked at the other officials of the Ministry of Etiquette around him and said: "You have also heard what His Highness just said, keep everything simple! All the arrangements made before are invalid! Everything starts from scratch. The enthronement ceremony should not be gorgeous or pompous, just keep it simple. The most basic ceremony is enough. Okay, don’t be stunned. Go to work quickly. If something doesn’t go well tomorrow, I’ll ask you first!”

Everyone at the scene was shocked, and at the same time they cupped their hands and said, "Yes!"

After that, everyone left and started to get busy. Although the enthronement ceremony was kept simple, it was a big event after all. Even if it was simplified, the preparation work required would not be too little. One day was indeed a test for everyone. The entire Rites Yamen was as lively as a vegetable market.

Qi Kai looked at the boiling Yamen, but he was wondering why Zhao Lun was suddenly so anxious to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.

"Could it be that the other two princes have made some progress, and the third prince feels the pressure, so he is eager to ascend the throne and become emperor?" Qi Kai speculated in his heart.

This possibility is not impossible, it can even be said to be very high. As for the fact that the other two princes have not given up on the throne, Qi Kai also knows that although he has been busy in the Yamen, he is not concerned about the outside world. He didn't care at all, not to mention that the eldest prince Zhao Xuan came to see him.

Whether it is the eldest prince or the second prince, they have many people supporting them. With the cooperation of these people, they may find something unfavorable to the third prince Zhao Lun.

And this unfavorable thing is likely to be related to the will!

Like many people, Qi Kai did not believe that the old emperor would pass the throne to the third prince Zhao Lun. He also had doubts about the will, but he had seen the seal on it and it was indeed real. He could not say anything, but others did not give up the investigation.

And the third prince must have a reason to be so anxious. Originally, with the will, he should be the most stable one now, and there is no need to be anxious at all, but now he is so anxious, it is very likely that the will has something wrong!

The more Qi Kai thought about it, the more he felt that this was very likely. Otherwise, he couldn't figure out why Zhao Lun suddenly became so anxious.

"No, I can't just listen to him. If there is really something wrong with his will, I am so active in holding the coronation ceremony for him. It is hard to guarantee that the other two princes will have ideas." Qi Kai thought to himself.

Thinking of this, Qi Kai said hello to the people in the government office and went out.
