The emperor wrote the edict of sin, and the king of Zen was crowned king. As soon as this incident came out, it shocked the government and the opposition in an instant.

The ministers of the court and the central government crowded at the gate of the palace to ask for the saint, but they were all stopped, and the unified reply was that the emperor was no longer in the palace, and he had exiled himself and traveled all over the world. After the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, the enthronement ceremony of King Jingyu of Jin will be held, and if you want to see the emperor, you can see it early after the enthronement ceremony.

But the kingdom can't be without a king for a day.

The ministers chattered and flocked to the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion to ask for an explanation. was told: The prime minister is ill and it is inconvenient to see guests.

With such a nose touch, the worried ministers had no choice but to squeeze into the Jin Palace, trying to ask the soon-to-be-enthroned emperor how to deal with court affairs.

......

Today, there are still two days left before the Shangyuan Lantern Festival.

Qing Geng walked out of the door, holding a large pile of folds in his arms and handing them to the eunuch waiting outside the door, his voice was crisp, "Your Highness said, today's excerpts are already here, and he will rest for the next time." ”

The eunuch hurriedly smiled and sang a promise, took the excerpt and ran away.

When Qing Geng passed the letter and went back, Jing Yu was sleeping at the desk, looking very tired.

Qing Geng sighed.

Ten days of prospect Yu suddenly unsuspecting to take over the mess left by Jingyuan, who is obsessed with beauty and doesn't care about political affairs, must be a headache too.

He hurriedly took a blanket and lightly covered Jing Yu's body.

Jing Yu's eyelashes trembled, and he opened his eyes gently.

"What, the hour?" he rubbed his brow wearily, his face a little pale.

"It's almost time. Qing Geng looked at him distressedly.

Since Tang Xiaobai forced Jing Yuan to write the edict of sin ten days ago, Jing Yu has not slept for more than two hours in the past ten days.

After dealing with state affairs every day, he immediately rushed to Nansui to take care of him, and often stayed until the early hours of the morning before returning, and he didn't have a day to spare.

"Go see her. ”

Jing Yu stood up, his body shook, Qing Geng hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and said aggrievedly, "Jing Yu, it's time for you to rest." ”

"Out of the way. Jing Yu waved his hand and smiled gently, "Let's go." ”

It gets dark early in winter, and when I go out, there is only the last ray of sunshine left in the sky, and the red light is still lingering among the bare treetops, reluctant to give up.

Jing Yu asked Qing Gengdao, "What about the Forget Worry Sword?"

"Here. Qing Geng took out a slender sword with a faint blue light from his storage bag and handed it over, hesitating, "Do you really want to give it to Nansui?"

The sword of forgetting worries and Jing Yu's saber are from the same source, both of which were treasures given by the demon king back then, and now they are given to Nansui like this, and Qinggeng is really a little reluctant.

Jing Yu glanced at the gradually darkening skylight and muttered, "In the future, I can't accompany her, so I ......"

So, just give her the worries, protect them, and miss them.

When the two of them walked to Nansui's courtyard, they heard Nansui's giggling sound coming from inside, and they seemed to be very happy.

Jing Yu listened, and a smile appeared on his pale face.

Soon someone went in to pass the word, and the laughter inside died down.

The servant came out and said, "The prince can go in." ”

Jing Yu nodded, looked at Qing Geng beside him, frowned and instructed, "Go in, don't fight." ”

Qing Geng pursed his mouth, thinking of the two nasty stupid birds, he was unwilling, but he only snorted dryly and did not protest.

In the room, Nan Sui was making a mess with his two spirit beasts, and when he saw Jing Yu coming in, he was a little uncomfortable, and he was also sullen and silent.

Jing Yu saw that her complexion was more ruddy than yesterday, and she breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on her lips, "I brought it to you, a gift." ”

As he spoke, he ordered Qing Geng to present the sword.

Nan Sui saw that it was a sword, and his eyes were happy, but he soon became unhappy again, and mocked, "My hand is useless, even the imperial doctor said that I can't hold a sword from now on, why did my senior brother give me a sword at this time, and deliberately looked at my jokes?"

Jing Yu's smile was a little astringent, "I'll look for it, better ......"

He wanted to say that he would find a better doctor to treat her arm, but he was interrupted by Nan Sui's irritability in the middle of his sentence, "I don't need it!"

She was furious, "Now Senior Brother is about to become the emperor of the world." Ninety-five Supreme, what kind of woman do you want, why do you have to come to me every day to beg for disgust?"

Jing Yu lowered his eyes and took a deep breath. He knew that she was injured and sick, so she was emotionally unstable.

Nansui knew that he shouldn't be angry with him like this for no reason, and he couldn't help but be more irritable in his heart, and he didn't have a good temperament, "Sit down." ”

Jing Yu snorted, and sat down obediently.

Seeing his cautious appearance, Nan Sui secretly scolded a nerd, and wanted to laugh a little, but in the end he still held back, and said lukewarmly, "Are you done?"

Jing Yu felt that she seemed to be angry, so she silently answered yes, and then continued to be silent, for fear that if she was unhappy again, she would directly drive herself out.

This idiot.

Nansui sulked.

I didn't come to see myself so late, and I didn't know how to say a few soft words and coax it, just pestle there like a log, for fear that I wouldn't be enough to block it.

She said angrily, "I'm going to sleep." ”

Jing Yu was dumbfounded, and said for a while, "Okay." ”

Get up and take Qinggeng out.

Nan Sui was depressed, and simply turned over and covered his head with the quilt.

Just go, who cares.

Jing Yu hid the deep loss in his eyes, ordered Qing Geng to put down the sword, and quickly walked out of the room, returning to that cold winter night again.

There was a eunuch waiting outside the door, and when he saw Jing Yu coming out, he hurriedly greeted him, and said anxiously, "Your Highness, it is Gu Changqing, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, who has brought the old emperor's old ministry to make trouble again, and asked His Majesty to give an explanation." ”

Gu Changqing's people were the old ones who were raised by his father back then, so they were naturally loyal to Jingyuan, which was personally chosen by his father.

Now that Jing Yuan is missing, leaving a lot of mess behind, and these ministers always come to the palace every three days to make trouble, questioning that Jing Yuan was coerced, and asking him to hand over Jing Yuan is really a headache.

"Let's go. Jing Yu frowned and strode out.

There are still two days left before the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, and this matter should be completely resolved.

......

......

Outside the Jin Palace, more than a dozen ministers were surrounded at this moment, all shouting to seek justice for Jingyuan, attracting many passers-by to stop and watch.

After a while, the gate opened, and Qing Geng walked out. The ministers rushed forward one after another, shouting, "Where is the King of Jin? ”

Qing Geng glanced at them, raised his head and said, "King Jin is waiting for you in the study. So saying, he took the man in.

The ministers led by Gu Changqing were aggressive and walked into the study under the leadership of Qing Geng.

Jing Yu was reviewing a batch of new excerpts sent in the evening, and the young man was serious, and some ministers who were already unstable saw his attentive appearance, and their hearts were a little complicated.

If you want to talk about the ability to deal with the government, they have indeed seen what Jing Yu has done in the past ten days.

He handled the Yingzhou famine, the corruption of taxes and silver in Liuzhou, and the pacification of the victims after the fire in Kyoto City.

If you talk about blood, Jing Yu is the queen's concubine, although he was sent out to raise him since he was a child, it stands to reason that he is the real heir to the throne.

Blame it......

Without giving the ministers a chance to continue to reflect, Gu Changqing coughed lightly twice and arched his hand, "Please hand over Your Majesty King Jin." ”

Jing Yu remained silent and continued to review the folds.

The ministers glanced at each other, and Gu Changqing's henchmen Song Yuan Yushi and Wang Zuo followed up one after another, "Please hand over Your Majesty." ”

Jing Yu finally put down the cinnabar pen, sat upright, and carefully scanned the ministers, as if remembering their faces.

This move made the ministers can't help but beat the drum in their hearts, after all, it will be the Shangyuan Lantern Festival in three days, and once the Shangyuan Lantern Festival is over, if Jing Yuan can't be found to clarify, Jing Yu will ascend the throne as the emperor, and they really can't say whether Jing Yu will clean them up one by one after becoming the emperor.

There are timid ministers who have begun to hide behind everyone.

Jing Yu didn't plan to let it go, and said to the eunuchs beside him, "Write down all the people who come today." ”

The eunuch hurriedly lowered his eyebrows and agreed.

Jing Yu nodded, with a faint expression, took a bowl of tea on the table, and motioned for Qing Geng to speak.

Qing Geng said, "Your Highness asked you why you are here?"

This......

The ministers looked at each other. Didn't you just finish talking about it, why do you still ask?

As soon as doubts came to mind, there were wise ministers who immediately understood. This is to write down the name first and then ask the question, if anyone now asks the emperor where he is, it will show that he is standing in opposition to the king of Jin, so that it is more convenient to rectify the dynasty one by one in the future, and eliminate the former emperor and Jingyuan's relics.

The ministers, who were still noisy, were half quiet in an instant.

Gu Changqing took a step forward and straightened his back as well, "The minister came to the emperor to write an edict about his own disappearance after writing a guilty edict, and I hope that the king of Jin can hand over His Majesty to prove the truth, otherwise, the minister would rather resign and return to his hometown than serve the two masters." ”

As soon as Gu Changqing's words came out, the ministers couldn't help but gasp.

Serve the two masters. He directly gave King Jin the name of rebellion, and he was really not afraid of death.

Song Yuan, who was behind Gu Changqing, saw it, and then expressed his attitude again, "If the King of Jin insists on ascending the throne as the emperor only by virtue of an edict of unknown origin, and please forgive the ministers and others, it is really impossible to recognize the identity of the prince." ”

Jing Yu listened silently and nodded from time to time, as if he was agreeing with Gu Shangshu and Song Yushi's words.

After they expressed their opinions, they signaled Qing Geng to speak again.

Qing Geng said, "His Royal Highness said that he didn't know the whereabouts of the emperor, and now he has sent someone to find it, and I believe that there will be results in the near future." ”

Gu Changqing didn't eat this, and said bluntly, "The result that the prince said won't be after the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, right?"

He snorted coldly, "When Your Majesty wrote the edict of sin, there was only the prince by his side, but His Majesty disappeared after writing it, why don't you think about it from the position of the minister, is this matter too strange?"

Jing Yu nodded and agreed with him, "It's really weird." ”

Gu Changqing originally thought that he would try his best to refute it, so that he could find the loopholes in his words, and then expose his lies, but he didn't expect to admit it so happily.

Gu Changqing was a little speechless for a while, and simply played a scoundrel, "In any case, if the prince wants to ascend the throne, he must come up with more convincing evidence." ”

Jing Yu nodded, "Qing Geng." ”

Qing Geng said confidently, "The evidence is naturally there. Because Gu Shangshu just said the wrong sentence, when His Majesty wrote the edict of sin, His Highness was not the only one around. ”

As he spoke, he beckoned to the door, "Carry it up." ”

Soon, a group of Imperial Guards walked in carrying several men with various injuries.

"These people were all close servants who were by His Majesty's side that day. Qing Geng said to a few men, "If I ask you next, you must answer truthfully." ”

Several people hurriedly said yes.

"When the emperor wrote an edict against himself, was someone persecuted?"

That's the kind of question you ask as soon as you come up...... The men's expressions were a little hesitant, remembering Tang Xiaobai's terrifying momentum at that time, and one of them hurriedly expressed his attitude, "No!"

The others listened, and then shook their heads categorically, "Yes, no." ”

"Was that Tang Xiaobai present at that time?" Gu Changqing interjected hurriedly.

He has been looking for these people recently, and it is clear how many forbidden troops in the palace have seen Tang Xiaobai break in, how can the emperor write an edict without anyone forcing him?

He didn't believe it. It must be that these people have eaten some benefits from King Jin.

Several of the Praetorian guards looked at each other and admitted, "Present." ”

"But there was no persecution. "Busy and added.

This...... Gu Changqing frowned, "Then do you know where the emperor went after writing the edict?"

Several of the forbidden soldiers shook their heads, looking dazed.

Gu Changqing waved his sleeves angrily, what is this?!

Qing Geng asked, "Can you ask clearly this time?"

Song Yuan said angrily, "I don't understand! How can I listen to what these people have to say?"

At this time, even the ministers who came with him couldn't look at it, and couldn't help but ask, "What does Song Yushi mean? At the beginning, he asked for witnesses, but now the witnesses are here but he doesn't believe it, is it to force the King of Jin to admit that he has rebelled, right?"

Song Yuan turned around, "There's something strange about this!"

Jing Yu didn't hesitate to watch them arguing, and when a few people were almost arguing, he nodded and said, "It's really weird." ”

Strange again?

At this time, even Gu Changqing was a little confused, why was this King of Jin not only not in a hurry, but also seemed to be ...... Talking to them?

Qing Geng stood up and said, "Your Highness wants to ask all the ministers, do you know the content of the edict?"

“......”

The crowd was silent. I did see it.

Qing Geng saw that no one spoke, and then asked, "Is there anything in the content that is not realistic, so that you feel that there is a problem with this matter, and the emperor must have been coerced to write it down?"

Look at me, people, and I look at you, and hang your head. On the edict, Jing Yuan listed ten crimes such as arrogance and lasciviousness, rigidity and self-use, and internal and external differences, each of which gave an example, and the charges were true, which was true...... I can't argue with that.

Gu Changqing opened his mouth and closed it again.

It's just that Jing Yuan is really not angry, and he played a good hand of cards to a pulp.

At the time of the stalemate, another voice sounded outside the door, and everyone looked back to see that it was Prime Minister Li Pu, who said that he was sick at home.

When Gu Changqing saw it, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.

Li Pu didn't look at him, walked straight to Jing Yu, and knelt down and kowtowed directly, "The old minister believes that the edict is indeed the emperor's original intention, and from now on, he is willing to follow His Royal Highness, and he will never give up." ”

Prime Minister......

The ministers were stunned.

The prime minister was the prince and master of the year, and it stands to reason that he was the absolute Jingyuan party, how can it ......

Gu Changqing was stunned and didn't know what to do, now that the prime minister has come forward to serve his allegiance, what can he say about a small Ministry of Works?

Gu Changqing sighed and knelt down, "Yes...... The minister was wrong. ”

With the two taking the lead, the other courtiers naturally knelt down and swore allegiance to the new emperor.

Jing Yu nodded, still unfazed, and asked the eunuch, "Today's people, have you written them down?"

The eunuch said, "It's all written down." "Hand in the list.

The ministers below were silent, regretting not being at the beginning.

Jing Yu took it and glanced at it, "Reward." ”

...... The crowd wondered what this meant.

Qing Geng said, "Your Highness said, dare to give direct advice, this is all good, and it should be rewarded." In the future, I hope that you will continue to serve the country, and you will do your best to honor the virtues of your ancestors. ”

When Gu Changqing heard this, he was the first to kowtow, "Thank you, Lord Longen." ”

...... The attitude actually became so fast, and he confessed the Lord before he ascended the throne. The ministers behind Gu Changqing were a little angry in their hearts. How could he take all the benefits, so he also followed and kowtowed, "Thank you, Lord Longen." ”

The words are sincere, the king, the saint and the sage.

Jing Yu nodded, and did not shirk humility, "Zhong Aiqing, flat body." ”

......

After the ministers left, Jing Yu, who had been holding a string, slowly relaxed, his fatigue was exhausted, and his face became more and more pale and weak.

Qing Geng felt distressed and helped him, "Go to sleep." ”

Jing Yu nodded, walked towards the living room, and was not at ease, "Let's go again, she is there, take a look." ”
