136: Please prove it, Your Majesty

"What?!"

Prime Minister Yu exclaimed.

He had also heard the rumors outside, and originally thought they were just tricks played by rebels dissatisfied with the new Emperor, so he just listened.

But now.

Fifth Prince, so directly spoke this matter.

How could Prime Minister Yu remain calm!

"Is what Prince said true?"

"Absolutely true."

Such a certain tone made Prime Minister Yu’s heart tremble.

"Then...is there any proof?"

Clearly, Sheng Changge trusted Ye Tian very much, but Prime Minister Yu couldn't just believe him because of a single sentence from Sheng Changge.

After all, there were hundreds of people in the entire Gaopeng Family.

One wrong step by him could implicate the entire Gaopeng Family!

"Let him perform a blood-relative test with the Fake Late Emperor, and the truth will be revealed."

Regarding the news that Sheng Fang in the Imperial Palace had been replaced, Sheng Changge already understood through the ingenious plan.

His heart felt a little wistful.

The reason he proposed a blood-relative test was because no matter who the previous Emperor was, as long as it wasn't Li Yuanyuan, his birth Father, they couldn't be compatible!

System space.

"Blood-relative test, isn't it inaccurate?" Creator System and Ye Tian sat on the sofa, watching like a movie through Sheng Changge's perspective.

"Go make your world coin."

Ye Tian picked up the light orb beside him and threw her aside.

Outside.

Hearing Sheng Changge’s words, Prime Minister Yu was suddenly shocked.

By now, he suddenly understood Sheng Changge's purpose.

Prince must have seen, just like him, that the current Emperor was fake!

A fake Fake Late Emperor would naturally be absolutely impossible to be Third Prince Sheng Tianlong's birth Father!

Let them perform a blood-relative test...

Such a brilliant move, how could he, an old official who had served for so many years, not have thought of it?

Even if, for argument's sake, Third Prince was truly of the Royal Family, he, as an official who had offended Third Prince Sheng Tianlong, would sooner or later have his power stripped away, and eventually meet a difficult end!

It would be better to follow Sheng Changge's suggestion and fully support him to ascend the throne.

With the handle of blood relation in hand, and Fifth Prince as the heir, their chance of overthrowing Third Prince Sheng Tianlong was huge!

"Prince, this old official understands!"

His tone carried strong fluctuations, and Prime Minister Yu looked at Sheng Changge: "Prince, rest assured! Third Prince Sheng Tianlong is not of Royal Family blood. You don't need to make a move, this old official will use everything he has to unite the officials and pull him down!"

Since he had decided which side to stand on, Prime Minister Yu had nothing to hesitate about.

...

...

Yuanlong Hall.

Third Prince Sheng Tianlong sat before a sandalwood desk.

On this desk, a chessboard was like a living thing, with the pieces constantly moving!

Above the chessboard, patches of clouds and rain gradually formed.

Under the pouring drizzle, the clash of the chess pieces seemed to have reached the final critical point!

For two consecutive hours.

He had been observing the chess game before him.

On the chessboard.

In his gradually bloodshot eyes, the white pieces were becoming more and more numerous, more and more!

In just two short hours, they had already seemed to divide the battlefield, almost able to contend with his black pieces, which represented the seven Princes!

If one looked closely.

On the current chessboard, although the black pieces were not missing a single one, the white pieces were like a large net that had been propped up.

Just a few key pieces need to fall...and the black pieces will lose the entire board!

"Impossible!"

Slapping the chair, Third Prince Sheng Tianlong's emotions were a little out of control.

A moment ago, he was in control of the grand scheme of things, why did the situation change so drastically in just one day? As if Heaven was falling!

Until now, he hadn't truly discovered that opponent.

Just like the white pieces on the chessboard.

Silently, the large net that had been built up had already enveloped him!

The only information Third Prince Sheng Tianlong knew now were the words 'Changge' on the white pieces.

"Changge, Sheng Changge? But he should be dead!"

"Bang!"

Suddenly.

The door was frantically pushed open by the attending eunuch.

"Emperor, something is wrong. The officials in the court have all come to Yuanlong Hall and have important matters to see Emperor about!"

"Important matters?"

His gloomy expression hadn't yet calmed down, and a bad premonition arose in Third Prince Sheng Tianlong's heart.

"Come with me to take a look."

He took one last look at the chessboard, and Sheng Changge left the room.

He hadn't seen it.

After he left, on the stagnant black and white chessboard, another white piece was added, completely encircling all the black pieces!

This game...the black pieces lost!

...

...

Arriving at the main hall area of Yuanlong Hall.

The officials before him made Third Prince Sheng Tianlong narrow his eyes.

They were basically all high-ranking officials of the third rank and above, and they all had a certain degree of influence in their respective official circles.

"What is the matter that has caused all my beloved officials to barge into my resting place?"

Third Prince Sheng Tianlong's words caused the more than forty officials who had come to look at each other.

Subsequently.

Under the gaze of the officials, Prime Minister Yu, who stood at the front, cupped his hands and spoke: "Your Majesty, we have heard the rumors circulating outside, and we have many questions in our hearts, and we would like to ask Your Majesty to answer them."

"Oh?"

Third Prince Sheng Tianlong glanced at Prime Minister Yu, then looked at the other officials: "Speak."

Having received permission, Prime Minister Yu, amidst the nervous expressions of the officials behind him, spoke without being humble or arrogant: "We would like to ask, is Your Majesty of the Sheng Country Royal Family Bloodline?!"

Getting straight to the point, without any detours.

As a court official, Prime Minister Yu knew that for this kind of question, he absolutely couldn't hesitate. He had to bring the question out directly, only then would Third Prince Sheng Tianlong answer it head-on!

'Is he of Royal Family Bloodline...'

Third Prince Sheng Tianlong's gaze instantly solidified: "Is Prime Minister Yu making a joke?!"

"This old official would not dare. This official only wants to understand, are you, truly, born of the Fake Late Emperor!"

After asking this question, Prime Minister Yu had already anticipated the current situation.

Therefore, his words were even louder than Third Prince Sheng Tianlong's!

"This old official has diligently contributed his entire life to the Royal Family. My entire life has been lived for the Sheng Country Royal Family, and this official humbly requests Prince Third Prince Sheng Tianlong to prove himself to be of the Royal Family Bloodline."

"Only then will this old official have no doubts whatsoever!"

"If you are truly of the Royal Family Bloodline, this old official is willing to bear all responsibility for what I have said and done today!"

He had gone all out.

Prime Minister Yu had completely gone all out!

Even the officials behind him were deeply shaken at this moment.

Most of them were dissatisfied with the new Emperor, which was why they responded to Prime Minister Yu's call and came here to force Third Prince Sheng Tianlong.

But even after coming here.

Before the truth came out, they still didn't dare to say anything, at most just acting as a backdrop.

They never expected that Prime Minister Yu's heart hid such a loyal fire!

Only loyal to the legitimate Royal Family!

Such actions made some old officials feel ashamed.

Yes, how noble was the Bloodline of the Sheng Country Royal Family, and only such a noble Bloodline was worthy of them serving.

If Third Prince Sheng Tianlong was not of the Royal Family Bloodline, what right did he have to sit on the throne?

"Nonsense!"

After hearing Prime Minister Yu's words, Third Prince Sheng Tianlong angrily rebuked: "Do you know who you are speaking to?!"

"So disrespectful, guards, drag him out and behead him for me!"

From beginning to end, Third Prince Sheng Tianlong had never thought about confirming any damn blood relationship.

In his opinion, although he was Sheng Fang's birth son, wouldn't it seem ridiculous for him, the monarch of a country, to delve into blood relations just because of an official's words?

"This old official, humbly requests Prince Third Prince Sheng Tianlong, to prove that you are the legitimate Royal Family."

Saying so, Prime Minister Yu bowed.

"Joke!"

Third Prince Sheng Tianlong flicked his sleeve: "Where are the men? Did you not hear what I said? Drag this old fellow out and behead him, and execute his entire Family!"

Such words did not bring the guards forward.

Instead, the officials behind him were seen bowing together: "We humbly request Your Majesty, to prove that you are the legitimate Royal Family!"

The uniform voices resounded throughout the entire Yuanlong Hall.

The eunuchs and guards who were about to step forward were all shocked.

So many important court officials forcing the Emperor together, such a scene had basically never happened in the history of Sheng Country!

Until now, Third Prince Sheng Tianlong's face finally gradually darkened.
