Chapter 321: Eavesdropping
Gonggong Cui walked in front, his steps were very light, and Chu Yunsheng and Yu Shenyuan also consciously slowed down their pace, trying not to make any noise. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
After turning that corner, it was the side door of the council hall, and Gonggong Cui lightly opened the side door, then raised his hand and pointed to it, and then stepped aside.
Chu Yunsheng and Yu Shenyuan nodded, and followed one after the other, and after they walked in, Grandpa Cui carefully closed the side door.
It was on the right back side of the council hall, separated from it by a wall, and a step further, they could see the situation in the hall through the hollow carved screen.
From their point of view, they can just see the situation in the entire hall.
At this time, the civil and military ministers of the hall were all discussing and muttering in small groups, and the queen sat on the stool behind the throne and looked down, her eyes were a little red and swollen, her face was not a little fat powder, and even if there were no tears on her stunning face, it was full of miserable and miserable relatives.
King Yue sat in the first position to the right of the throne, and from this angle, Chu Yunsheng could only see the back of King Yue and could not see the expression on his face.
And the right Sikong stood at the head of the ministers, and he didn't talk to the ministers around him, he just stood there straight, his eyes drooped slightly, looking at the golden and jade steps in front of him.
"Have you had enough of it?"
King Yue's voice sounded suddenly, and the ministers who were still muttering like gnats just now were silenced all of a sudden, and they all stood up and looked at King Yue who made a sound.
Seeing this, King Yue sighed leisurely and said: "Today's matter is very obvious, the second prince sent people to assassinate the king and the eldest prince respectively, fortunately, the king has already taken precautions, otherwise, now everyone will see not only the tragic death of the eldest prince in the mansion, but also the king!"
In the last four words, Sen Ran, who had already gritted his teeth, King Yue's eyes glanced at the audience coldly, and then said: " According to the ancestral system, this king has the qualifications to inherit the throne, and he has vigiled the spirit of the royal brother for 7749 days and swore to take good care of the queen on the royal brother's coffin, so it is impossible for this king to inherit the throne without any criticism, and Yeluyun actually thought of using such cruel means to kill each other at the cost of flesh and blood?”
Speaking of this, King Yue stood up from his position, he turned around, and his sharp eyes swept over the civil and military officials one by one, and then said coldly: " This king knows, you must have some doubts in your hearts, but it doesn't matter, today's things this king asks himself with a clear conscience, all the witnesses and evidence have been prepared, you can ask at any time, this king also knows, today's incident happened suddenly, you can't accept it for a while, this full of civil and military ministers, has been divided into many parties, you have the followers of the eldest prince, there are also the remnants of the second prince, who has what kind of thoughts, this king knows very well in his heart, and the reason why he does not pursue your past is also to give you a chance, the eldest prince and the second prince are no longer there, and no one in the world of this Liao country can stop the steps of this king to ascend the throne。 ”
As he spoke, he raised his chin and glanced at a crony guarding the door of the main hall, who immediately turned around and walked out of the main hall to the entrance of the main hall, and released a string of flag flowers.
As the flag flower exploded at the entrance of the main hall, it was followed by the sound of uniform footsteps, the friction of armor, and the unsheath of blades.
The ministers in the main hall were shocked when they heard such movements, and they didn't think where the soldiers and horses of the King of Yue were hiding before, these Praetorian Guards wearing ink-colored armor had already rushed into the main hall, and in the blink of an eye, they surrounded the ministers in the main hall, and also put aside several ministers who had a close relationship with the second prince and the second prince before.
For a while, there was only the sound of swords unsheathed in the hall, the exclamations of the ministers, and some timid ministers were already sitting on the ground with their knees weakened.
"How is it? I believe that you are all knowledgeable about current affairs, after all, in today's time, place, and people, both sides are on the side of this king. ”
King Yue's tone was a bit calm and coercive, coupled with these blades lying across his neck, where had the courtiers in the hall seen such a posture, some of these people were already timid, and some of the old departments of the eldest prince had no backer after the sudden assassination of the eldest prince today, and they encountered the persecution of the king of Yue before they had time to react for a while, so they were ready to submit to the vassals at the moment when they saw these Praetorian guards wearing black armor rushing to the main hall.
Among these people, of course, there is also the father of the eldest princess, the Great Elder.
Even if he has a lot of power, but the object of his support is gone overnight, and at this time, there is no way to bet on other princes, in the face of King Yue's hand at this time, not only did he not have time to react, but he could not react at all.
Unless he rebels.
However, although he had the intention to use the eldest prince as a puppet that could be manipulated to be the behind-the-scenes emperor of the Liao State after he supported the eldest prince to ascend the throne, he never thought of overthrowing the court and changing the dynasty and establishing himself as the king.
Therefore, the other people still couldn't react or were still hesitating, but the Great Elder had already figured out all the pros and cons, and after making a full range of trade-offs, he bowed to King Yue one step faster than anyone else, and knelt down and said loudly: "Weichen knocks on the new emperor's majesty." ”
Hearing this, King Yue's gaze fell leisurely on the kneeling elder in front of him, and a snow-colored light crossed his eyes, and there was a hint of killing intent in that light, but when he raised his eyes, he had quickly concealed this killing intent.
At this time, even if the Great Elder is unconvinced, it will be of great help to him on the surface, not to mention, if the Great Elder is really forced to be anxious, if he bites him, things will not be so easy to do, he can take the initiative to bow down to the minister, which is naturally the best thing for King Yue, even if he is now suspicious and obedient, but as long as he sits in this position tonight, then there will be more opportunities to clean up their clan in the future, and he is not in a hurry at this time.
Thinking like this, King Yue's face already had a gentle smile on his face, and he raised his hand to help the Great Elder up from the ground.
At this moment, the ministers who were still hesitating and watching just now also knelt down one after another, imitating the appearance of the great elder just now, and bowed down to King Yue: "Weichen knocks to see His Majesty the new emperor." ”
For a while, the huge hall resounded one after another kneeling sounds, and those ministers who were still hesitating and still struggling looked at their colleagues one by one, and gradually they couldn't hold it anymore, and finally knelt down with the general situation.
The last one to kneel down was the right Sikong.
Seeing this scene, Chu Yunsheng couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart.
Even without scrutiny, her instincts told her that it wasn't that simple.
On that day, Dumb robbed the news of the three princes from the palace and brought them all the way to the Right Sikong Mansion, even if no one leaked it, then how could the soldiers of the Right Sikong who were ready to act outside the city at this time not know.
Unless, someone deliberately blocked the spread of news from inside the palace and outside the palace.
cut off the way for the news to come in, so that King Yue would not be aware of it, and naturally at this moment, he would not keep the right side of the air and kneel down with these ministers.
Chu Yunsheng thought so in her heart, in order to confirm this idea, she turned her eyes to look at Yu Shenyuan, who had to squeeze into a small gap with her and look out because the space was narrow and she was afraid of being detected by the people below.
Yu Shenyuan's eyes were also falling to Chu Yunsheng's eyes, although they couldn't make a sound, but how smart the two of them were, just one look, they had already guessed what the other party was thinking.
Seeing the doubt in Chu Yunsheng's eyes, Yu Shenyuan blinked, shook his head, and motioned for her to calm down and not act rashly.
After all, at this time, the three princes had not yet appeared, and as the only remaining son of the Liao King, it was impossible to be forgotten on this occasion.
But his name was never mentioned from beginning to end.
Seeing that King Yue accepted the worship of the ministers, a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he turned around and walked proudly towards the high throne.
Stepping on the jade steps, his gaze did not fall on the throne, but turned a slight angle and fell on the queen on the stool next to the throne.
He also ignored the surprised gaze of the ministers, looked directly at the queen and said: "This king has fulfilled everything he promised to the queen, and now that the time limit for the wake has expired, this king ...... Oh no, King Lone is the new king of this Liao country, and the queen will also be the new queen of this dynasty, do you have any opinions?"
The first half of the sentence was addressed to the queen, and he was obviously not waiting for the queen to answer, and when he saw the queen's long eyelashes, he shed two lines of tears, and a trace of pity crossed the bottom of the king's eyes, but in the blink of an eye, he turned around and asked the second half of the sentence to the ministers who leaned over behind him.
At this time, they have already called him a minister and supported him as the new king, who can control him and who will be the queen, plus the Liao State has such an unwritten custom since the founding of the country, uncles marry widows, this is all royal housework, unless they are courtiers are not long enough, otherwise, who dares to stand up at this time and say that it is not right?
Therefore, after King Yue asked this sentence, there was another voice bowing to the new queen.
As soon as she heard this voice, the tears in the queen's eyes were a lot again.
Seeing this, King Yue stepped up two steps and walked to her side, regardless of her resistance, he directly stopped her by the waist and hugged her, and with a twist of his ankle, he hugged her and sat directly on the throne.
When the ministers below saw this scene, they all smacked their tongues, such a bold and ridiculous behavior even the first king who favored the queen of the six palaces had never done it, and this king of Yue was so presumptuous when he had not yet ascended the throne, which made these ministers feel that it was too much, especially those old courtiers who were thin-skinned and paid attention to etiquette, at this time they all had red eyes and felt panicked for this absurd king of Yue.
However, no one dared to risk their lives at this time to stand up and say that King Yue was not.
Because, everyone knows that at this time, it is the critical moment for King Yue to establish his prestige, who is not afraid of death at this time to stand up, but afraid that before he finishes his reasoning, his head has fallen to the ground and was directly used by King Yue to open the knife.
"Queen, now that you are the queen of the lonely king, do you know what this king has paid to wait for this day?"
King Yue didn't care about the thoughts of the courtiers below, after seeing that the courtiers below had completely surrendered, his attention was only focused on the queen's body, he held the queen's soft and boneless waist with one hand, and the other hand subconsciously stroked this stunning face that made him want to sleep at night, and then in front of the public, he suddenly approached the queen, buried his face between the queen's black and shiny green silk, sniffed deeply and said: " Fortunately, the king has finally waited, so it will all be worth it. ”
After seeing him continue to make more daring moves, some of the courtiers below who couldn't look past him had turned their faces away.
Chu Yunsheng also subconsciously turned his eyes to look at Yu Shenyuan, afraid that he would not be able to hold his breath at this time, after all, the person who was being teased in front of everyone on the throne now was his mother.
However, Yu Shenyuan's eyes were calm, without the slightest wave, just when Chu Yunsheng was puzzled in his heart, and with a little surprise to study what Yu Shenyuan's expression meant, he heard the queen's faint voice from the main hall and said: "King Yue feels that it is worth doing all this, but he has never asked whether the palace likes such consequences or not." ”
"Oh?"
Hearing the queen's voice with a thick nasal voice and crying, King Yue's voice softened suddenly, he raised his head from the queen's neck and lowered his eyes to look at the queen closely, and said with pity: "So, tell me, do you like it or not?"
Hearing this, the queen chuckled, and said with a bit of helplessness and sarcasm in her laughter: "Do you think I will like it or not? You killed my husband, and also designed to let his children kill each other, and finally directly framed them to death one by one, and then sat in this position smoothly, and finally forcibly occupied me, do you think I will like it or not?"
The queen's voice fell, and the huge palace suddenly fell silent.
Immediately afterward, in the disbelief of the courtiers, the voice of King Yue sounded: "You! What did you say?!"
