Chapter 366: The Great Chaos Begins on the 2nd Day of Tianxian
Imperial edict! Why would an imperial edict arrive at this time?
The civil and military officials who attended the banquet were all very confused.
You know, the Emperor Gu Huairen just announced the appointment of Liu Shihao as the lieutenant of Anya County a few days ago. How come another imperial edict has arrived now?
Could it be that the emperor has changed his mind again?
Not long after, a man who was obviously a martial artist walked into the banquet hall.
Everyone was even more confused because the man didn't look like a court official or a eunuch in the palace.
The man looked around at everyone and then said loudly:
"Le'an Earl Liu Shihao! Zhenhuang Earl Liu Feiyun accepts the order!"
Everyone was stunned again: Liu Feiyun was clearly the Lord of Repentance! How did he become the Lord of Desolation?
Liu Shihao asked:
"Which government office are you from? How come you are the one delivering the imperial edict?"
Seeing that the Liu family father and son did not accept the order, but instead asked about his origins, the man frowned slightly, but still answered:
"I am the envoy of the Xuanfu Department! I am here on the orders of the emperor to convey his wishes to you! Liu Feihao! Don't be ungrateful!"
"Originally, His Majesty looked down on your Liu family! If it weren't for your Liu family's contributions in conquering the Northern Wilderness and suppressing rebellions, he wouldn't have given you this opportunity!"
The envoy's words made many people increasingly confused, but some people gained some enlightenment.
Upon hearing this, Liu Shihao burst into laughter, and then continued to ask:
"Hahaha! I see! Then there's no need to be so mysterious! Or tell me what price your Majesty offered to our Liu family?"
Many people attending the banquet were even more frightened!
"Lord Le An is indeed a smart man! Then I will speak frankly! Our Majesty promises that as long as your Liu family expresses support, he will confer the title of Duke of Anya on your family and let them rule Anya County for generations!"
"If your Liu family can destroy the separatist empire and establish your own Jin and Liao states, then it is not impossible to be crowned a king of a different surname!"
"My Majesty cherishes talents the most. Although he had some conflicts with the young master of your Liu family, he still has some talents and has made great contributions to the Great Chen Dynasty, so he will let bygones be bygones."
"Liu Shihao, my Majesty is very generous and directly conferred a title of Duke on you. You should be content! You should quickly accept the decree and express your gratitude!"
Liu Feiyun sighed in his heart: What was supposed to come has finally come!
He also asked:
"Your Majesty you are talking about should be Gu Xijie, the Prince of Shu who was conferred the title by the current emperor! I wonder how many people have recognized him as the emperor now?"
The governor was not angry at all, and said proudly:
"There are now three kingdoms, seven duchies, nineteen marquisates, and sixty-eight self-ruled states, a total of ninety-seven princes who have expressed their support for His Majesty!"
"Originally, some princes were against absorbing your Liu family, but His Majesty, considering your Liu family's contributions to Dachen, made a break and issued this imperial decree!"
"Just think about it! That fake emperor Gu Huairen has not even given you a small Anping County. How stingy he is!"
"He has committed atrocities, seized the people's property, and attempted to depose the princes, causing civil unrest and the princes to rebel. How can he be qualified to be emperor again?"
"Not to mention, he didn't get the throne legitimately! He just took advantage of the late emperor's mental confusion before his death and deceived him to get the new throne!"
"Have you not noticed that since the false emperor ascended the throne, the imperial seals on the edicts he issued have been different from before?"
"Because his imperial seal is fake! The real imperial seal was actually passed on to my Majesty by the late emperor a long time ago! My Majesty is the real Son of Heaven!"
The words of the envoy shocked everyone:
This day is about to break!
Although his words were true and false, one thing was true: the imperial seal of the Great Chen Dynasty was indeed missing, and the emperor of Tiandu Changluo did not deny it, but just said that it was lost and was currently being searched for!
But now, this person said that the former Fourth Prince, now Prince Shu, was the true heir recognized by the late emperor! The evidence was that he had the Imperial Seal in his hand!
Since he dared to say so, I think King Shu would not make a fake jade seal to fool the people of the world. It is most likely real.
But in this way, there will be two emperors in the world!
One was the one who was passed on the throne in public by the late emperor, and the other one holds the real imperial seal!
The second sun appears in the sky, and the real chaos has just begun!
And who will the Liu family support?
