Chapter 99: Shocked (2)
Early this morning, Wei Chimu was in a very good mood, and in the early court, the big and small things played by hundreds of civil and military officials in the court, whether they were approved or refuted, were all smiling.
It was a good thing that the emperor was in a good mood, but Lord Wen, who was the head of the household, had his right eyelid jumping wildly in the morning, which made him uneasy and made him feel a strong premonition.
Sure enough, when a group of officials of all sizes played the matter almost the same, Wei Chimu opened his mouth and said, "I also have something to announce today. After speaking, he looked at Wei Chijing, who was standing in front of the Ministry of Rites, and shouted: "Respect the king." ”
"In. "For more than a year, Wei Chijing has participated in the early dynasty almost every day, and when Yu Chimu went to Suiyang City, he acted as the emperor to deal with the government affairs for a month.
"I have prepared an edict and announced my abdication five days later, and passed on to King Jing. ”
As soon as his words fell, it was not trivial, and all the ministers in the hall were surprised.
"The emperor is in his prime of life, why is he suddenly about to abdicate, this is ...... This ......" Tobe Wen Shangshu was the first to jump out in a panic. He knew that it was not a good thing for his eyelids to jump early in the morning, no, his left eye jumped to wealth, his right eye jumped to disaster, and his right eyelid jumped and jumped, and it was really no good thing.
When King Huai'an ascended the throne, although it was said that the first emperor hurriedly issued an edict to establish King Huai'an as the crown prince, and His Royal Highness the prince was also on the throne like a duck on the shelf, but the ability of the three highnesses was still recognized by the ministers of the court, so at this time, the talented and capable emperor suddenly wanted to abdicate, which ...... It's really the misfortune of Dajing.
Although it is said that in the etiquette of Yasukuni, it is not explicitly stated that the throne is hereditary, nor does it explicitly say that the emperor must die before a new emperor is established, but since the founding of Yasukuni, several white years have passed, and the father has been the son who has died, and the younger brother has attacked, and now although King Jing is the emperor's brother, the emperor is obviously still so young, and the dragon body is also fine, so he will abdicate, and pass the throne to King Jing, who is only eighteen or nine years old now?
It's not that the ministers of the court don't trust the young emperor, and Wei Chimu is not very old, now he is only twenty-four or five, but Yu Chimu became famous early, and before he was named the king of Huai'an, he was rumored to be amazingly talented, and later if it were not for the jealousy and exclusion of the former prince, it would not have caused the three princes to ask for the title of king and retreat from the capital.
In contrast, Wei Chijing really has no talent at all, although this year's seven princes of the former emperor, and now the seventh emperor brother of the saint, has participated in a lot of affairs between the DPRK and China, and he has handled the government affairs on behalf of the emperor for a month before, and there is nothing wrong, but in the eyes of these ministers, it is also because Yasukuni is still recuperating, and under the leadership of Wei Chimu, Yasukuni has become richer and richer, and there is no external force to offend.
To sum up, they don't trust Wei Chijing's ability, and the Shengxing Dynasty does not attack, and they also know that the Shengxing Dynasty is jealous of Concubine Man, the celestial star and Wei Chimu, but if they change an emperor, who knows if the Shengxing Dynasty will buy it?
"Wen Aiqing, is there a provision in the Dajing Rite Law that the emperor is not allowed to abdicate and give way to the virtuous? If Wen Aiqing doesn't know, he should ask more questions about the Ministry of Rites. Wei Chimu did not reprimand, and said calmly.
When the emperor said this, all the ministers looked at each other, but they really couldn't say a word. There is no such provision in the Dajing Rite Law, which is naturally known to everyone, but it is not this that everyone is worried about, but they can't clearly say that the ability to respect the king is insufficient, and the emperor's abdication is not virtuous.
This kind of thing that offends the king, they will not do it, after all, the king is a person cultivated by the emperor, and he has the right to talk about power, no matter whether the emperor abdicates or not, this king must not be offended, but must be stammered.
"Please ask the emperor to take back his order. Lord Rite and Lord Tobe didn't dare to say anything clearly, and if they wanted to say it, they would have to say it when they met the emperor in private, but at this moment they still knelt down and expressed their hope that the emperor would think twice.
As soon as the two Shangshu lords shouted like this, all the ministers knelt down and said, "Please take back the emperor's order!" (to be continued......)
