Of course, these ministers also had some selfish motives.

Those currently serving in the court were all loyal to Jiang Chen.

And how Jiang Sheng would treat them after he ascended the throne was a question they needed to consider.

Weighing these factors, Jiang Sheng was naturally rejected.

Jiang Sheng didn't know he had already been rejected and was still arguing with Yao Shouxin.

But no matter what he said, Yao Shouxin only asked Jiang Sheng for an imperial edict to enter the capital.

Jiang Sheng was angry for a long time until an advisor said, "Your Highness, then just apply to them for the edict here!"

Jiang Sheng suddenly understood and immediately expressed his request to Yao Shouxin.

But Yao Shouxin said with a straight face, "If Your Highness wants an imperial edict to enter the capital, you must submit a memorial."

Jiang Sheng was so angry that he almost fainted.

He had come in a hurry and didn't bring writing materials with him.

Helpless, he had to buy them nearby.

After writing the memorial, Jiang Sheng thought the edict would be issued soon, but he didn't expect that after his memorial entered the capital, it seemed to have disappeared. Two days passed without any news.

After Wang Yaohui created obstacles for many princes rushing to the capital, he was worried about Jiang Sheng and rushed over.

When he saw that Jiang Sheng was still outside the city after two days, he almost fainted with anger.

"Your Highness, what's going on?" Wang Yaohui asked.

Jiang Sheng told him about Yao Shouxin asking him to apply for an edict.

After Wang Yaohui heard this, if it weren't for Jiang Sheng's noble status, he would have slapped him.

"Your Highness, this is clearly Yao Shouxin's excuse!"

Wang Yaohui saw through Yao Shouxin's purpose at a glance: "The laws of Great Wei state that if the current emperor is harmed by treacherous people, the princes of various fiefs have the right to enter the capital to suppress the rebels!"

Jiang Sheng slapped his forehead when he heard this.

How could he have forgotten this!

"Immediately bring Yao Shouxin out!" Jiang Sheng shouted in exasperation.

When Yao Shouxin heard someone report that Jiang Sheng wanted to see him, he knew that Jiang Sheng had understood this point.

But he was not afraid at all and came outside the city in full armor.

"I wonder what business the Tang Prince has?"

"Yao Shouxin, according to the laws of Great Wei, if the emperor is harmed by treacherous people, the princes have the right to enter the capital to suppress the rebellious party! Open the city gate immediately and let this prince enter the capital!" Jiang Sheng roared.

Yao Shouxin was not flustered and said, "I think the Tang Prince has misunderstood something."

"Misunderstood what?" Jiang Sheng was very puzzled.

"His Majesty was not harmed by treacherous people, but accidentally fell into the water," Yao Shouxin said expressionlessly.

While Jiang Sheng looked stunned, Yao Shouxin continued, "Your Highness said that His Majesty was harmed by treacherous people. Where did you get this information? And who is this treacherous person?"

Yao Shouxin's two questions directly confused Jiang Sheng.

Yes, although there was news of Jiang Chen's disappearance, the outside world didn't know what was going on.

But he insisted that Jiang Chen was harmed by treacherous people. Wasn't this an admission?

Jiang Sheng quickly looked at Wang Yaohui, who was also looking shocked.

Obviously, he didn't expect Yao Shouxin to be so sophistical.

Wang Yaohui had really underestimated Yao Shouxin.

Although Yao Shouxin had always served in the Ministry of War, he was a genuine Jinshi graduate. Even his grades back then were very high.

In terms of verbal debate, he was not inferior to any minister.

After some thought, Wang Yaohui found a new reason.

"Since His Majesty accidentally fell into the water, may I ask if he has returned to the capital? The Tang Prince wants to visit."

After speaking, Wang Yaohui looked at Yao Shouxin triumphantly.

The Tang Prince wanted to fulfill the affection between brothers, you can't stop him, right?

Unexpectedly, Yao Shouxin had already thought of a countermeasure.

"His Majesty is not recuperating in the capital. If the Tang Prince wants to visit His Majesty, please go to the Gong Prince's residence."

Yao Shouxin's words were completely evasive.

But he didn't expect that he was actually right.

Wang Yaohui was dumbfounded after hearing this.

He knew that Yao Shouxin was talking nonsense, but he couldn't refute it.

Jiang Sheng was also very anxious and couldn't help but say, "Father-in-law, if it really doesn't work, let's just use force!"

Wang Yaohui slowly nodded and said, "Your Highness, I will go back and prepare!"

Jiang Sheng nodded fiercely. This was his last chance!

Because he had been delayed by Yao Shouxin for several days, just as Wang Yaohui returned to mobilize troops, several princes closer to the capital also arrived in the suburbs of the capital.

Of course, their encounters were the same as Jiang Sheng's. They were all stopped outside the capital.

The princes were naturally furious, but they were helpless.

However, after seeing that the other princes were also stopped, they were no longer in a hurry.

What they feared was that others would seize the throne first, but now everyone was on the same starting line, so there was no rush.

Seeing more and more princes arriving, especially after news came that the Gong Prince was about to arrive in the suburbs of the capital, Jiang Sheng was completely anxious.

Once the Gong Prince arrived in the capital, his hope would really be slim!

At this time, Wang Yaohui finally arrived with his troops.

Jiang Sheng was overjoyed. The other princes looked at Jiang Sheng in shock.

Was he going to rebel?

Of course, Jiang Sheng would not leave such a handle. Accompanied by Wang Yaohui, he came to the front of the princes and said angrily, "Everyone, this prince suspects that His Majesty was killed by these people!"

"This prince wants to enter the capital to find out!"

This excuse was extremely sufficient.

Several of the princes who had arrived immediately responded and even began to mobilize troops.

Jiang Sheng was overjoyed. At least at this time, these princes were on his side.

After entering the capital, he would clean up these people.

At that time, the throne would be his!

Just as Jiang Sheng was waiting for the other princes to gather their troops, the Gong Prince, after overcoming several difficulties and obstacles, also arrived outside the capital.

Seeing the appearance of the Gong Prince, the expressions of the princes present changed slightly.

Everyone knew the Gong Prince's status and knew that compared to him, their qualifications were somewhat insufficient.

However, thinking that the Tang Prince was about to forcibly enter the capital, they breathed a sigh of relief.

When Yao Shouxin heard that the Gong Prince had arrived, he immediately came out to greet him.

"Your subject Yao Shouxin greets the Gong Prince!"

Yao Shouxin's respectful attitude made Jiang Sheng's nose crooked with anger.

He had been outside the capital for almost ten days, but he hadn't heard Yao Shouxin call himself "subject."

As soon as the Gong Prince appeared, Yao Shouxin called himself "subject."

Jiang Sheng understood the meaning of this very well.

Jiang Huan usually only ate and drank in Fangling and had never seen such a scene.

Fortunately, he remembered Jiang Chen's instructions and nodded with a serious face.

Then, he turned around and looked at the princes who had followed him.

"Brothers, what are you doing here?"

The princes looked at Jiang Huan with strange eyes. You're still pretending at this time? Isn't it obvious why everyone is here?

Jiang Sheng couldn't stand Jiang Huan the most and sneered, "I can't tell that the Gong Prince also has great ambitions."
