Chapter 292: Movement in the Imperial City
There are more than a dozen red invitations, which seem to be extremely eye-catching, the sword eyebrows are slightly raised, and Nie Ying said: "The dynasty is about to change the sky?"
"Yes!" Wu nodded and said, "Your Majesty has decided to abolish the crown prince and appoint someone else." ”
"I think these posts are invitations from other princes, right?Wu Xiang, what is your choice?" Nie Ying looked at the other party with a faint smile.
Wu Qi smiled and said, "Mingxuan!"
"It seems that we will have a chance to cooperate in the future?" Nie Ying laughed.
Wu Qi stood up, saluted Nie Ying respectfully, and said: "Although the prime minister has this idea in his heart, he has always been a person of Ling Tian, and I hope that Gongzi will be able to see a certain thin side of Wu in his future actions and show mercy to Ling Tian's soldiers." This aspect assures you that when it comes to ending the chaos, it will definitely be a sharp blade for Childe. ”
It is convenient to talk to smart people, Wu Qi's statement is undoubtedly tied to Nie Ying's body, although it is a verbal promise, but Nie Ying believes it, and immediately got up, held Wu Qi's hand, and said in a deep voice: "I don't need your allegiance, Ling Tian is always Ling Tian's master, I won't interfere more." ”
"So, thank you, Childe!" the two looked at each other and laughed. Nie Ying knew in his heart that for the sake of big things now, Wu Qi might be sincere, but once people have supreme rights, how many people are willing to be above and there are still people who can control their own life and death and actions? So it is better to be more direct and avoid the worries in the other party's heart, even if Wu Qi does not have this idea in his heart now.
In just a few words, two people who don't have much intersection will become partners because of their respective needs.
"What's going on in the Imperial City this month?"
As if knowing that Nie Ying would ask this question, Wu Qi didn't think about it at all, and said straightforwardly: "Except for martial law to search for you, the others are still calm. However, it is worth noting that Ming Xuan was humiliated by you in the palace, so he was depressed, indulged in wine, and wandered in the Yuanyang Tower night and night. ”
"Yuanyang Building?" Nie Ying frowned slightly.
"That's right, Yuanyang Tower!" Wu Qi said: "Ten days ago, after Ming Xuan came out of Yuanyang Tower, he never stepped into it again, although the whole person didn't seem to have returned to his original arrogance, he was by no means depressed. When Ming Xuan moved out of the palace a few days ago, I made a special trip to see him, and there was a bit of ruthlessness hidden in his expression, and he became much calmer. During this period of time, people have changed so much, so I also sent people to the Yuanyang Building to investigate, but found nothing. ”
"Even you can't find out what?" Nie Ying was a little suspicious.
Wu Qi said in a deep voice: "Yes, with my power in the Imperial City, I can't find anything, it seems that this Yuanyang Tower is even more mysterious than I imagined." ”
Nie Ying asked curiously, "Mysterious, what is the origin of this Yuanyang Tower?"
"Who the real boss of Yuanyang Building is, no one knows. About ten years ago, it seemed to appear out of thin air, and it gained a firm foothold in the imperial city in a short period of time, and the business was enviable, but no matter who wanted to pay attention to it, it would definitely disappear into the world the next day" Wu Qi said coldly, it seems that he has also suffered a little loss.
"Is that so?" Nie Ying tapped lightly on the tabletop, and suddenly smiled evilly: "Then I want to go and see it." ”
"Childe, be careful, your current identity, once you appear in broad daylight, you will be besieged and killed. Wu Qi said worriedly.
Nie Ying waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, those soldiers, I will be merciful." Then he smiled and said, "I don't have anywhere to go at night, so I'll stay here with you." ”
The morning sun is slowly shining, and the palace is still majestic. The hundred officials marched methodically into the palace and walked towards the court. Along the way, everyone was whispering, who will the new crown prince be?
"Prime Minister Wu, you are the head of the hundred officials, and His Majesty should have told you about the prince, so you might as well reveal a little to the lower officials, so as not to stand on the wrong team at that time. ”
Casually glancing at the officials beside him, Wu Qi said lightly: "Lord Liu, if you want not to stand in the wrong team, the only way is to be loyal to Your Majesty, do you still have to ask?"
Lord Liu smiled and said, "The lower official is speechless, don't be surprised by the minister." ”
"It's okay to lose your words here in this phase, Your Majesty, don't say the wrong thing. Wu Qi said, a strange smile on his face.
"Thank you for your advice, the next official will take the head of the prime minister. ”
After entering the court, everyone quickly quieted down and waited for the emperor to arrive.
In the voice of three shouts, Ming Yan sat on top of the dragon's head, his eyes swept over the courtiers below, and said slowly: "Today is to establish a new prince, what do you think?"
The hearts of the officials were stunned, they didn't expect His Majesty the Emperor to be so direct, and for a while, the court was quiet and even the sound of needles falling could be heard.
"Wu Qi, you are the head of the hundred officials, you might as well make a statement first!"
Wu Qi walked out of the crowd and said respectfully: "The position of the crown prince is related to the future of the dynasty, and it cannot be taken lightly. Since Your Majesty has decided to appoint a new crown prince, you already have a candidate in mind, and we can only be courtiers for Your Majesty's will. ”
"What about you?" asked Mingyan.
"We and Xiangye are all of the same idea, and Your Majesty is in charge. "In the past, the selection of the crown prince needs to be discussed by hundreds of officials, but now it is unexpected that there is such a unanimity.
Ming Yan smiled coldly and said, "You Aiqing are so afraid of offending people, then I won't force you." Spread my will, from now on, Ming Yi will be the crown prince, and you can complement each other in the future to rejuvenate the Ling Dynasty. ”
Without waiting for the officials to respond, outside the main hall, a discordant voice suddenly sounded: "This hall does not agree!"
"Wow!" The hundred officials were stunned, the holy decree is the holy decree, who dares to resist? Everyone hurriedly turned around, only to see Ming Xuan striding in, his face shining with endless terror.
"Xuan'er?" Mingyan shouted unhappily.
"Father?" Ming Xuan came to the front of the palace and said respectfully: "Since ancient times, if you want to depose the crown prince, you must first have a reasonable explanation, let me ask, what did the son did wrong, why did he depose the prince of the son of the prince?"
"You?" Mingyan was exhausted. Everyone in the imperial city knew why Emperor Ming Yan did this, but when Ming Xuan asked it, it was not easy to answer in front of the public.
Mingyan drank lightly: "Xuan'er, don't mess around, this is the court, if you continue to do this, your father won't be able to protect you." ”
Without the slightest intention to accept this kindness, Ming Xuan smiled coldly and said, "The matter of Nie Ying making trouble in the palace is known to the world. His strength is not even an opponent of the two imperial guardians, and the main hall is subject to him and has suffered humiliation at his hands, and the main hall wants to ask you, is this the fault of the main hall?"
In a world where strength is respected, the strong are high above and despise all the weak, even if Ming Xuan is once the prince, in front of the stronger, he is just a stronger ant. Yes, in the face of Ming Xuan's question, no one dared to answer.
Ming Yan's expression was cold, he sat on the dragon chair, looked at Ming Xuan who was performing, and suddenly smiled: "Then what do you want to do?"
Looking at Ming Yan, whose expression had changed greatly, Ming Xuan's heart suddenly suddenly, after living under him for so many years, there was already a sense of awe in his heart, but thinking of his own reliance and future life, Ming Xuan raised his head and chested, and said: "I hope that my father will take back his fate, the reason for your dismissal of the retainer is not a reason, in that environment, you are not welcome to say, you yourself are not safe, let alone the retainer." If you have to say a result, your father and son are insulted, and you should give up the position of crown prince, then what about you, as the king of a dynasty, and what about you, as the king of a dynasty, should you be less than your son?
"Bold?" Ming Yan snorted, "Ming Xuan, I don't know who gave you the courage to be so presumptuous in the court today. In view of your bad mood, I don't care too much about you, the position of the crown prince is by Ming Yi, you can step down!"
"Father, are you forcing your son?" Ming Xuan looked up without showing weakness.
Baiguan looked at the father and son, and they should have scolded Ming Xuan, who had lost power, but the strange atmosphere, coupled with Ming Xuan's fierce look, actually made them who had been in the officialdom for a long time not grasp this opportunity to curry favor with the emperor.
Ming Yan was furious, he never thought that his son who came out of the ** hand would be so presumptuous, and he drank coldly at the moment: "Mingxuan, my will has been made, you have to say more, and you have to provoke my bottom line." ”
"Take back your will, and all this hall can be as if nothing happened, and you are still high as the emperor. Looking at the increasingly gloomy Ming Yan, Ming Xuan smiled disdainfully and said, "The decision of this palace has been made, I hope that the father and emperor will not come to provoke my bottom line." ”
"Good, good!" Mingyan laughed, "My son really has courage. Mingxuan, having said so much, there must be a lot of people supporting you, right? Let me see, why are you threatening me?"
His gaze slowly swept over the hundred officials below, and his sharp gaze was like a knife, instantly making these officials feel as if they were in a cold cellar.
"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that what happened was done by Nie Ying, and his strength no longer needs Prince Mingxuan to bear such consequences, so he has the courage to beg His Majesty to take back his life. ”
"Wu Qi, is that you?"
The officials were shocked, Wu Qi was the prime minister, above tens of thousands of people, his decision was enough to affect many people, so openly supporting Ming Xuan... In the hearts of these foxes, they are anxiously calculating the current situation to avoid a rebellious end.
Wu Qizheng said: "Your Majesty, Weichen does not want to support the prince, but refuses to speak truthfully. ”
"What a refusal to tell the truth?" Ming Yan smiled coldly, "Ming Xuan, Wu Qi alone can't give you such a lot of confidence, let's say, who else?"
"Father is really smart. Ming Xuan smiled, Wu Qi's support, he was also surprised, but this was a good thing, so he didn't think too much, looked at Ming Yan, and said: "The rest of the people, the son doesn't need to be invited out if you want to, lest the father and emperor be too stimulated and cause some physical discomfort, then it will be the fault of the son." ”
"Less nonsense?"
"My father wants to see it, and my sons only need to obey the order. Come out!"
As soon as Ming Xuan's words fell, the airflow in the main hall shook violently, and after a while, the two figures quickly appeared.
Seeing the two of them, everyone, including Ming Yan, fell into a stupor...
