The Return of the Demon

Chapter 472 This Marquis Wants to Perform an Autopsy

All the civil and military officials have different expressions.

The previous emperor died and the new emperor succeeded to the throne.

Will Ning Chen, the powerful Daxuan Marquis, still be honored and favored?

The fifth prince and the right prime minister looked at each other.

A sharp murderous intent flashed in the fifth prince's eyes.

Ning Chen's power was so terrifying that no one from the Dragon Guard, the City Defense Army, or the Forbidden Army dared to stop him.

But fortunately, he has now succeeded to the throne.

Although the enthronement ceremony has not yet been held, he is already the emperor.

Even if Ning Chen had great courage, he would not dare to risk the disapproval of the world. What would he do to him as the emperor?

It is impossible to seize power directly.

But as time goes by, he will slowly take away the rights from Ning Chen.

"Ning Chen, you are finally back..." The fifth prince sobbed and hurriedly came to greet him, "Father, father has gone."

The fifth prince burst into tears.

Ning Chen's face was as dark as water, he stared at him coldly, and said word by word: "I want to do an autopsy."

In one sentence, everyone present was stunned.

Autopsy?

Examine His Majesty's body?

"Ning Chen, you are so presumptuous!"

The right minister pointed at Ning Chen and scolded him angrily.

Fan Taihe jumped out immediately, "Ning Chen, you dare to desecrate the late emperor's holy body, you deserve death!"

Civil and military officials were whispering.

Even Li Hanru and others felt that Ning Chen's move was too much.

Ning Chen's move was simply disrespectful.

The fifth prince sobbed: "Ning Chen, I know that my father is very kind to you, but my father's holy body has experienced fire, and we can no longer desecrate my father's holy body."

"Ning Chen, let your father rest in peace. From now on, I will favor you just like my father. We will join hands to create a prosperous Daxuan."

"I know what you are suspecting? I also hope that the father is alive...but the three imperial doctors have confirmed that it is the father."

Ning Chen looked at him expressionlessly, "Of the three imperial doctors, is there Lin Wen?"

The right minister said: "The Imperial Physician Lin accidentally fell down a few days ago. He is old and has injured his muscles and bones. He has been recuperating at home."

Ning Chen glanced at him and said in a deep voice: "Pan Yucheng, lead your people to hurry up and invite Dr. Lin."

"yes!"

Ning Chen continued: "Feng Qizheng, Chen Chong, you two return to the Supervision Department and invite Meng Jianbai and Meng Jinyi to me."

"As you command!"

Fan Taihe angrily scolded: "Ning Chen, you are crazy... You delayed the burial of the late emperor, and now you want to desecrate the holy body of the late emperor. You are simply treasonous and unforgivable."

"Your Majesty, Ning Chen acted wantonly and with the greatest malice. Please punish him severely."

The fifth prince waved his hand, "Ning Chen will be confused if he cares. He also cares about his father."

After saying that, he looked at Ning Chen and was about to speak when he heard Ning Chen say: "Where is Geng Ziyi?"

Geng Jing was startled for a moment and said, "I'm here."

Ning Chen turned his head to look, and was about to speak, when suddenly his whole body froze.

He looked at the old man next to Geng Jing who was missing a leg in disbelief.

"Chen, General Chen?"

Old General Chen looked at Ning Chen and showed a smile.

Ning Chen walked over quickly and said in shock: "Old General, you, you..."

"The assassination is true, but I am not dead. You were demoted to a commoner. His Majesty was afraid that you would not return to the capital, so he asked me to fake his death."

Ning Chen opened his mouth, "But after I return to Beijing, why do you continue to hide?"

Old General Chen said: "I don't understand your Majesty's order... I guess it's because your Majesty is afraid that the real murderer has not been found. If I show up, I will be in danger, right?"

"Ning Chen, do what you want to do first, and we'll talk about my business later."

Ning Chen nodded slightly, walked to Geng Jing, lowered his voice and whispered a few words in his ear.

Geng Jing nodded, then turned and left.

"Geng Jing, stop!" the Right Prime Minister shouted angrily, "Are you His Majesty's minister or Ning Chen's minister?"

All the ministers looked sideways.

It stands to reason that when the previous emperor dies, the Supervisory Department will belong to the new emperor.

But now, Geng Jing actually listened to Ning Chen.

Moreover, Ning Chen didn't have the slightest respect for the new emperor.

Ning Chen stared at the right minister coldly and said word by word: "When I first went up the mountain, I killed a captain of the Dragon Guard... Do you think I dare to kill you?"

The right phase's expression suddenly changed.

He roared with guilt in his voice: "Master Ning, do you still have His Majesty in your eyes? Are you going to rebel?"

Ning Chen said indifferently: "If I want to rebel, it will be easy... I will command the Dragon Guard Army and the City Defense Army."

"The Forbidden Army led by Commander Nie, the imperial guards... do you think they can block my attack? Do they dare to block it?"

"Your Excellency, if you dare to talk nonsense again, I will do whatever you want."

The faces of all the civil and military officials changed drastically, and they were frightened and uneasy.

Ning Chen went to the army to attack, and now his power is overwhelming. If he wants to rebel, it will be really easy.

In today's Daxuan, when it comes to leading troops in battle, who can compare to Ning Chen?

Ning Chen looked at the majestic entrance to the imperial mausoleum and said in a deep voice: "My lords, you can rest assured that everything about Ning was given by your majesty, so I will not rebel... I only want an answer."

"If it is proven that the deceased person is indeed His Majesty, then Ning will be punished for desecrating His Majesty's holy body... Ning will hand over his military power, disarm and return to his fields."

The fifth prince, right prime minister and others looked happy.

Ning Chen doubted that Emperor Xuan was dead. To be precise, he didn't believe that Emperor Xuan was dead.

Although he still didn't know the situation at that time.

But even though the fire spread quickly at that time, and the imperial guards and imperial guards were replaced by the Fifth Prince's men, His Majesty still had Eunuch Quan by his side.

He had seen Eunuch Quan's skills, and he was definitely a first-class master.

Moreover, the last time he was demoted to a commoner, on the way to Xiuzhou, a group of highly skilled, masked people saved him several times.

He suspected that these people were Emperor Xuan's men.

With such a large number of masters around him, and Eunuch Quan's personal protection, he didn't believe that Emperor Xuan would be buried in the sea of ​​fire.

Of course, this was just his guess.

So, he had to verify his identity.

If Emperor Xuan was really dead, Daxuan would not be worthy of his loyalty.

At that time, those who should be killed would be killed, and those who should be liquidated would be liquidated.

But he would not become emperor.

Emperor Xuan treated him like a son, so whether Emperor Xuan was alive or dead, he would not try to seize Daxuan's territory.

He never thought about becoming an emperor... Being an emperor is so tiring, and it is easy to die young.

Moreover, the succession must be legitimate. Your Majesty has many children. If he forcibly ascends the throne and becomes emperor, the civil and military officials will not agree, and the people will not agree. Those historians will write him into a dog shit and leave a bad reputation for thousands of years.

However, he will support an emperor with both virtue and talent.

In fact, being a regent is not bad.

Or, just leave Daxuan and go to Wuguo with the people around him.

"Ning Chen, how can you be rash in front of His Majesty? Don't forget that your power is given to you by the royal family. The late emperor can give it to you, and His Majesty can take it back."

"From the time you appeared until now, you have disrespected Your Majesty and are arrogant... I think you have the intention of treason."

"Your Majesty, Ning Chen is guilty of treason, disrespect for the imperial power, and contempt for the emperor. His crime should be executed!"

"I second the motion!"

"I also second the motion!"

A group of censors jumped out to express their loyalty to the new emperor.

Little did they know that Ning Chen was upset at this time, suppressing his murderous intent in anger, and even wanted to kill the fifth prince, let alone them.
