Chapter 552 Recording Controversy
Ji Yuntang saw that the minister who had just questioned Empress Dowager Yuan and the Imperial Master was now fooled by them and began to question her own judgment. The corners of her mouth twitched.
This won't work. The ministers present have limited horizons and have no idea that photos can be printed in bulk.
They had already begun to suspect that it was fake.
Ji Yuntang thought about it and felt that he should still take some drastic measures to let them know that their suspicions were not wrong.
Thinking of this, she quietly took out the recorder from the space, and then prepared a speaker for amplification to help spread the sound.
The moment the recorder was turned on, everyone suddenly heard a middle-aged man's voice in the air, loud and clear.
"Cousin, think about it carefully. The two of us have been working hard for seventeen years for this day. How much effort have we put in over the years?"
"For you and my son, I faked my own death and jumped off a cliff, disfigured myself, and abandoned my parents, my wife, and my two children..."
The following content became more and more outrageous. Everyone froze in place, their expressions dumbfounded.
They no longer had the ability to think about where the sound came from.
Because an official with sharp ears discovered that the voice was exactly the same as the voice of the imperial teacher.
He was stunned on the spot and his jaw dropped.
"It's broad daylight, what a hell! I actually heard the Imperial Master say that he faked his death by jumping off a cliff, abandoned his parents, wife, daughter, and son, and never went back to see them for more than ten years. Am I dreaming?"
"You are not dreaming. I heard it too. The Imperial Master said that he kidnapped Lingxi Zhenren who came down the mountain and used witchcraft to swap his face with him. So is the Imperial Master real or fake now?"
"..."
Everyone was talking at once, discussing the matter, and the imperial master in the palace was completely dumbfounded.
Isn’t this his voice? Isn’t this the words he said to Queen Dowager Yuan?
Why does it appear here?
He raised his head and looked around, trying to find the source of the sound, but found nothing.
This sound seemed to appear out of thin air, played in mid-air, and reached the ears of everyone present.
However, this is not the end yet, the voice of Empress Dowager Yuan was also heard.
"Chao'er, the crown prince ceremony is about to begin. Your mother has found the best embroiderer in the palace to sew you the crown prince's court robes..."
When they heard the word "Queen Mother", everyone present was shocked.
As far as they knew, Queen Dowager Yuan had no children at all, and the only prince who could call her mother was already dead. How could there be another son now?
When they heard the following content, they all turned their heads and looked at the Yuan Dynasty.
It was because Yuan Chao said that he did not want to be emperor, but the Empress Dowager Yuan once again advised him how good it was to be an emperor and how considerate the concubines serving him were.
She even told Yuan Chao to go through the formalities and just be an idle emperor in name only.
From now on, he will no longer have to make decisions on major matters, and he will no longer have to approve any memorials. Empress Dowager Yuan will help him handle them one by one.
The Empress Dowager Yuan also morally blackmailed the Yuan Dynasty, asking it to consider her from her perspective. If the Yuan Dynasty was unwilling to attend the ceremony of establishing the crown prince today, the only one who would be embarrassed would be the Empress Dowager Yuan herself.
Yuan Chao was finally persuaded by her and was willing to change his clothes and attend the ceremony of establishing the crown prince.
The ministers' feelings at this moment could no longer be expressed in words. Each of them felt that their worldview had been shattered, as if they had been struck by lightning.
From the intimate photos at the beginning to the strange recordings later, they all told them the same fact.
Yuan Dynasty was the son of Empress Dowager Yuan and the Imperial Master.
As for Yuan Chao, he was pushed by them to be the crown prince, and he himself had no intention of sitting on the throne.
After watching this scene, Yuan Jiuan knew that all this was done by Ji Yuntang.
Although he didn't know how she made these things, he knew that this woman was no ordinary person when she was able to give him a prosthetic limb and let him stand up again.
Now that she has made such a fuss and embarrassed Empress Dowager Yuan and the Imperial Master in public, it doesn't seem surprising.
Thinking of this, Yuan Jiuan felt that he needed to step forward again and add fuel to the fire.
He said, "So this young man from the Yuan Dynasty is not the emperor who appears once in a hundred years, but the illegitimate son of the fake imperial teacher and the queen mother."
"You deliberately said that he was appointed by the emperor, just to let your son inherit the throne. Am I right?"
Empress Dowager Yuan had a wooden expression on her face, and was petrified in place due to the shock of the sudden changes.
She couldn't understand why the ceremony of establishing the crown prince had turned out like this?
She racked her brains to figure out where these photos came from and where the sound of their voices came from.
But at this moment, everyone looked at her with complicated expressions, waiting for her answer.
Especially the four family heads, their faces all looked gloomy, and it seemed as if a storm was brewing in their eyes.
They realized that they might have been plotted against by Empress Dowager Yuan and the Imperial Master!
If the voice that just spoke was real, if Yuan Chao was really the illegitimate son of Empress Dowager Yuan and the fake imperial teacher.
So, the original plan to choose the crown prince from the five great families was just a conspiracy planned by Empress Dowager Yuan and the Imperial Master!
He pretended to be magnanimous and deliberately made them think that all the young talents in his family had the opportunity to become the crown prince.
The other one pretends to be a charlatan and uses unknown things such as Taoism and metaphysics to fool them, making them afraid to go against the will of heaven for fear of getting into trouble.
The Empress Dowager Yuan and the Imperial Master sang the same tune, fooled them around, and then sent them away with some money.
They suddenly felt so stupid.
They were obviously motivated by their own selfish desires, but they were still foolish enough to believe the lies that Empress Dowager Yuan was thinking about the interests of the aristocratic families.
When Qi Huaichuan saw that Empress Dowager Yuan was slow to respond, he stood up in anger.
"Empress Dowager, our family has cared for you wholeheartedly and helped you so much over the years. Is this how you treat us uncles?"
"If the portrait of you and the Imperial Master just now is fake, then what about the voice you are speaking now? This can't be fake, right?"
Empress Dowager Yuan felt dizzy and she held on tightly to prevent herself from falling.
If the scenes before her eyes had not really happened, she would have suspected that she was dreaming.
What happened today was extremely bizarre. She had never heard of or seen anything like it in her entire life.
If these opinions were to spread, it would be enough to ruin the reputation of both her and the national teacher.
Once Yuan Chao's identity as an illegitimate child was exposed, he basically had no chance of becoming the crown prince.
