Chapter 451: The Edict
As the wedding date drew closer, the situation between the DPRK and China became more and more tense.
The accidents of the two princes in a row made the emperor even more gloomy, and his temperament became tyrannical, and in the face of the old ministers who admonished him, he did not care about the minister's face at all.
The king of Chu was deposed as a commoner, and he was sent to Yunzhou, and the courtiers stepped forward to intercede, thinking that the king of Chu should stay in the capital.
The king of Chu has always been gentle and polite, and his temperament is kind, and this time the punishment of the king of Chu is too severe.
And King Xu is scheming, and his character is also up for debate. King Xu was stripped of all his official positions and imprisoned in King Xu's mansion.
The disposition of the two princes was obviously biased, and the courtiers could not help but compare the character of the two princes, and disagreed with the execution of the two princes, and more people felt that the punishment of the eldest prince was too unfair.
Some courtiers took the lead in interceding for the eldest prince, saying that it was more appropriate for him to stay in the capital, and the eldest prince was not in good health, and now he was only afraid that the recovery of the eldest prince's body would be affected when he left the capital.
The emperor did not listen to the ministers, and proposed to set up the three princes as the crown prince, this time in the court insisted on going his own way, did not listen to the ministers, so that one or two stubborn old ministers forced each other to die on the spot.
The emperor used these two people to kill chickens and monkeys, and issued an edict to send them to the prison of the Criminal Department, and for a time the officials in the court were silent.
In the blink of an eye, the beginning of winter has passed, and the day when King Yan marries his wife is approaching.
It's just that the day before the wedding, King Yan entered the palace to thank him, the palace gate was closed in the blue sky and daytime, the city gate was on guard, and the palace wall was heavily guarded, even the people passing by from the outer wall could see the tense atmosphere.
When Yan Hanyu got the news, he was bidding farewell to his ancestors in the ancestral hall, and when he heard that there was civil strife in the palace, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.
That one moved to kill, and I don't know if he has a countermeasure to resolve it.
"Come on, arrest this rebellious thief. ”
King Yan stood in the hall, listening to the menacing voice, but the people did not retreat at all.
A series of guards were about to rush in, but they saw the guards of King Yan standing at the gate of the palace draw the sword in their hands and intercept them in the air.
"Presumptuous!" the emperor stood up and pointed at them and shouted, "Hold a knife in front of the palace and kill them!"
The Praetorian guard at the head did not move.
"Gao Lang, what are you still doing in a daze, kill them quickly!" the emperor seemed to understand something, and his body flickered, and the attendants beside him supported him.
"Your Majesty!"
"Gao Lang......" The eyes were full of yin owls, and there was a murderous aura around him.
"On the top of the hall, he used a knife and a gun, and the tall man was loyal to the lord, and he didn't come to the palace just for fear of hurting the emperor's uncle. ”
The officials in the hall, large and small, looked at the scene in front of them and didn't dare to say anything, it was chaotic, it was really going to be civil strife!
"Now that you have privately transferred troops, replaced my guards, and secretly colluded with Gao Lang for your use, you are ambitious, what else do you have to say?"
"Why should Uncle Huang be angry, Lord Gao is just righteous and reasonable. ”
Yan Maohua was the first to stand up and stand in front of King Yan.
"Yan Qing also can't rebel!"
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Yan will get married tomorrow, and he will enter the palace just to thank you, I don't know why Your Majesty wants to call His Royal Highness King Yan a chaotic minister and thief?"
"He entered the palace just to thank you? After he entered the palace gate, the palace gate was closed, and the water around the palace was blocked, and now Gao Lang has also become his person, and if he doesn't listen to my orders, I want to ask my good nephew what he is planning? Is he trying to force the palace to kill me?"
"My nephew never thought of forcing the palace, but the imperial uncle has been aggressive. The always warm voice was a little indifferent at the moment.
"You forced me to abolish one prince after another, you are forcing me!" the voice was a little excited and high-pitched.
"Uncle Huang reversed black and white, and my nephew had nothing to say. King Yan's upright figure was biased, and his tone was a little careless, "All the adults are here today, and there are some things that we might as well talk about it openly and honestly." ”
"Uncle Huang has been sending people to assassinate his nephew all these years, and the nephew has already known about it, but he doesn't want to make trouble with Uncle Huang because of his feelings, but he can't help but feel sad when he thinks about his many life and deaths, if it weren't for the favor of the ancestors, the nephew is afraid that he would have died a long time ago, why didn't the emperor spare his nephew for the sake of the ancestors?"
"Now that you are leading the troops to force the palace, how can you ever care about your ancestors? I want to ask the imperial nephew if he still respects me, the imperial uncle?"
"Uncle Huang is an elder, and his nephew doesn't dare to forget it, but the matter was provoked by Uncle Huang, and the nephew naturally has no reason to retreat. As the son of the Zhao family, wouldn't it be a loss of his father's face if his nephew retreated if he encountered an accident. ”
He told him plainly that it was impossible for them to coexist.
"Don't forget, this is my court, this is my court, and you can't be presumptuous in my palace!"
King Yan raised his hand to the ministers, "Ladies and gentlemen, this king has no intention of forcing the palace today, and he is also a reasonable adult. Although he couldn't see with his eyes, he faced a group of ministers directly, and after speaking, he made a gesture.
King Yan's words fell, and the courtiers stood up in twos and threes, led by important ministers, and nearly half of the courtiers who had worked hard for a short time stood up. Obviously, these people who stand up are all Yan Wang's people.
The emperor looked at such a scene, but his face became darker and darker.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Yan has no intention of rebelling. "The leader is Lu Zhangshi.
"Lu Qing, you are unexpectedly!" the emperor pointed to the person who was the leader of the Yan King, "I trust you, but you are the first to come out and speak for him!"
"Your Majesty, the minister is not selfish, just on the matter. ”
"You, you, what a selfless heart, I remember, remember everyone who stood up today. The Emperor glared angrily, and his tone was fierce.
"Your Majesty, no one who participates in the rebellion will be spared, and you will be loyal to Your Majesty!"
"Okay, Aiqing is right, Aiqing, please get up and stand in front. ”
"I am in the Qing Dynasty today!" a majestic voice resounded throughout the hall.
"What Uncle Huang said is that the merits must be understood, and today my nephew is just distinguishing from Uncle Huang. ”
"Uncle Huang, my nephew will get married tomorrow, and I will enter the palace today to thank you, and thank Your Majesty for the marriage. King Yan straightened his face, bent down, and slowly straightened up, "My nephew has not been married for so many years, and he is single, and he has long made his mentality clear to the emperor's uncle, not to fight, not to rob, not to take or occupy." But Uncle Huang is pressing step by step, and he can't allow his nephew to relax for half a point. Since the emperor's uncle has taken off the hat of rebellion, the nephew has to defend himself a few words! The nephew is now finally married, and naturally he is particularly concerned about family affairs, and even if he has an eye injury these days, he can still handle the marriage in person. The forbidden army in the palace is controlled by His Majesty, and the nephew does not have the skill to let all the forbidden troops obey the order and close all the palace doors, but the palace door is closed after the nephew enters the palace. Today's courtiers are all here, this king has something to say today, all of you study the imperial examination, are the rulers, and all of them are doing the right way, if one day, there is a person who is a bandit and a thief but is included in the official position and all his colleagues, I don't know how the adults are good?"
"Naturally, we have to deal with such bandits. Master Yan agreed.
Immediately after that, one or two officials nodded in agreement, "Wouldn't it be a shame for me to be in the company of bandits, and let the people be deceived?"
"Okay, then the king will ask for the golden edict for the first emperor, so that all the adults can see the content of the edict of the first emperor, and let everyone know whether it is natural for the imperial uncle to sit on it. ”
"What are you going to do? I'm still the emperor, do you still want to control the courtiers in front of me?" the emperor's nervousness betrayed his thoughts.
"Everyone wants to see the edict, why not?"
"Please issue the emperor's edict!"
