Chapter Seventy-Six: Convincing with Reason

You may not believe it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Cheng Guogong said and looked at the officials.

"My so-called rebellion and escape are arranged by His Majesty."

Your Majesty's arrangement?

Here it is again.

The officials looked at Cheng Guogong with a helpless expression.

This really can't be believed, just like Ning Yunzhao who is holding the edict, he insists that this is the emperor's arrangement, and if you have any questions, you should ask Your Majesty.

You guys are looking at the emperor and can't speak, and he can't move, so what is it?

Such a big thing, only you and the emperor know? Is this the emperor treating the government as a child's play, or does he ignore the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty?

"What happened at that time was too sudden, and His Majesty suspected that there was a traitor in the court, so he concealed it." Cheng Guogong said with a gentle expression.

Mole?

These words made the expressions of the officials present change slightly.

How? Is this not only to take advantage of the emperor's inability to speak to clear his name, but also to take the opportunity to retaliate against dissidents and give people justice?

The topic can't be taken away from him.

"Cheng Guogong, what's too sudden?" An official asked with a frown, cutting off the conversation.

"At that time, the war was in full swing, but the Jin people suddenly proposed peace." Cheng Guogong said.

What's so sudden?

Isn't it normal for the Jin people to take the initiative to negotiate peace because of the unfavorable situation in the war?

If you want to say that it is strange, it should be said that His Majesty the Emperor agreed to negotiate peace when the battle was won.

At that time, the court was arguing because of this, and Ning Yan resigned because of this.

Cheng Guogong also resisted the decree at that time and did not retreat.

"No, the situation of the Jin people was not unfavorable at that time." Cheng Guogong said, "In addition to the previous Jin soldiers, nearly 50,000 troops have been gathered in the Jin people's country, and if there is really a battle, it is uncertain who will win and who will lose." ”

The eyes of the officials looking at Cheng Guogong were more complicated.

I didn't expect Cheng Guogong to be so humble.

"In short, Jin Renyi and His Majesty think it is a very abnormal and strange thing." Cheng Guogong didn't care about everyone's eyes, and continued to say gently, "So I agreed to go along with the water, just to see what the Jin people have in mind." ”

"What's the idea?" An official asked.

Cheng Guogong looked at him and stretched out his finger to point at himself.

"Divide me, frame me." He said, and stretched out his finger to the imperial city again, "Sneak attack on the capital." ”

Is this what His Majesty the Emperor can see?

His Majesty the Emperor is so wise and powerful?

"Your Majesty is wise and martial." Cheng Guogong did not stop, continued, and saluted the emperor's location, "I noticed the intention of the Jin people at the first time, so I was convicted, and the Jin people really sent troops, and I have returned to the north to secretly mobilize troops and horses, which broke the Jin people's treacherous plan in time." ”

Qinghebo was besieged by the Jin people in the north, and the officials present at the time of the critical situation knew that it was Cheng Guogong who suddenly appeared and led the troops and horses to break the siege and repel the Jin people, and everyone knew about it.

Moreover, reinforcements also arrived in time to repel the Jin soldiers besieging the capital.

That sounds like a long time coming.

But....

This may sound reasonable, but when you think about it, it's nonsense!

"Since I have long known that the Jin people have bad intentions, they should have broken it in one fell swoop." An official raised his eyebrows and said, "How can you give Jin Ren a chance?" ”

Yes, if you don't talk about anything else, let's just talk about how many casualties and losses were caused by the siege of the capital.

This is knowing that it is a tiger, but he wants to put his arm into the tiger's mouth in order to prove that the tiger is biting?

"Because only in this way can we defeat the Jin people in one fell swoop." Cheng Guogong looked at him and said, "This is a strong man's broken wrist." ”

A strong man with a broken wrist?

"As I said before, the Jin people gathered troops from all over the country at that time, and at that time they said that they would talk about peace, one was to confuse the Jin people and let their momentum temporarily disperse, and if we didn't negotiate peace and fight hard, we would pay a greater price, and it would not necessarily hurt the vitality of the Jin people." Cheng Guogong continued, looking at everyone, "Now let the Jin people bite their arms, thinking that the treacherous plan has succeeded, they will do their best, and at this time, the blow given to them is enough to kill." ”

There was a low discussion in the courtroom.

"And." Cheng Guogong said.

His voice was neither high nor low, nor hurried, but immediately the discussion stopped, and everyone looked at it.

"The Jin army poured south, and our people successfully raided the capital of the Jin Kingdom." Cheng Guogong said, smiling slightly, "Just three days ago, the news was finally confirmed. ”

What to confirm?

"Emperor Tuoba Zong of the Jin Kingdom was seriously injured and died." Cheng Guogong said.

What the?

The Emperor of the Kingdom of Jin is dead!

There was an uproar in the court.

"No wonder the Jin people suddenly retreated." Ning Yan said.

Because of the siege of the capital and the emperor's illness, the court was in chaos, and it was only confirmed that the Jin soldiers in the north had retreated, but they did not know that it was because the emperor of the Jin Kingdom died.

"Great." A court official couldn't help but high-five, looking excited, "There are many princes in the Jin Kingdom, and the princes are also self-respecting, and now that the emperor is dead, it is conceivable that there will be civil strife." ”

First, a large army was consumed in the Northland, and then the country fell into civil strife, and it was inevitable that the vitality of the Jin Kingdom would be greatly damaged this time.

The court officials looked at Cheng Guogong with complicated expressions, and there was no previous question.

If this was really planned from the beginning, it was....

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

A voice rang out.

This voice is familiar to everyone.

Ning Yunzhao had already knelt down to the emperor's throne in the hall.

The throne was empty, but behind the curtain sat a man.

It was the queen who was hanging the curtain, but it was not the queen alone, this bed was placed next to the queen, and the emperor was lying on the bed.

Although the emperor could not speak or move, because he was still conscious, everyone finally decided to let the emperor go to the court and listen to everyone talk about the government.

It seems that in this way, everyone can make decisions with confidence.

"Your Majesty, Shengming." Ning Yunzhao raised his head, his expression was more tragic than before, and he bowed heavily again.

"Your Majesty." Cheng Guogong knelt down and bowed his head.

The other officials did not hesitate any longer, and they all followed suit.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

For a time, the sound in the hall rang like a bell.

Watching the actions of these courtiers and listening to this praise, the queen couldn't help but wipe away her tears.

"Your Majesty is really the King of Wisdom." She choked up.

It's just that I just got this disease.

She looked at the emperor and saw that tears flowed even more from the corners of the emperor's eyes.

The emperor's tears have not stopped these days.

At first, everyone thought that it was because of the illness, and the emperor was sad, but after a long time, I don't know which imperial doctor said a word because there was nothing else to express his feelings, only tears.

Does that mean tears of sadness, tears of joy?

Now, under the planning of His Majesty, the Emperor of Jin has died, and the vitality of Jin's internal strife has been greatly damaged, and he must be very happy to learn that His Majesty has learned this.

"Your Majesty is also very pleased." The queen stretched out her hand to wipe away the emperor's tears, and said in a trembling voice, "All the ministers are flat." ”

Many officials thanked each other and stood up.

But Cheng Guogong knelt and did not move.

"I heard that the court has not yet canonized the crown prince?" He said suddenly.

The hearts of the officials present jumped.

Here it comes!

Sure enough, Cheng Guogong definitely wants to intervene in the matter of the crown prince.

"Cheng Guogong's words are wrong!" Ning Yunzhao's voice sounded, his expression was a little solemn, and he raised the edict in his hand, "Your Majesty has canonized the crown prince." ”

"No!" The Empress's voice immediately sounded behind the curtain, trembling and sharp, "This is not Your Majesty's edict!" ”

Hearing this, the officials present all sighed lightly.

It's here again.

These days, the court is chaotic, the prison of the criminal department is full of eunuchs and brocade guards, and with the interrogation and torture, people continue to be arrested, and the people in the capital are panicking, but this is not the most important, in fact, the most important thing in the court is about the candidate for the crown prince.

Ning Yunzhao holds the edict every day, firmly wanting to conceive the king as the crown prince, and at the same time, he is also surrounded by a group of officials, but the queen naturally does not allow it, insisting that her eldest son be the crown prince, and she also has a group of officials around her.

In addition, there were other princes who were also operating in private, and other officials remained neutral and watched the excitement, and it was chaotic for a while.

Each court meeting began with a dispute over the choice of the crown prince and ended with that.

So far, the wrestling of all parties has been quite fruitless.

Now Cheng Guogong has also returned and begun to participate in it.

"Your Majesty's edict is only seen and obtained by you, Lord Ning Xiao." Cheng Guogong looked at Ning Yunzhao, "It's no wonder that everyone doubts it, this kind of thing still has to be convincing with reason." ”

The queen's eyes lit up as she sat behind the curtain.

In this way, Cheng Guogong also does not believe in this edict.

Ning Yunzhao's expression was calm.

"For Ning, Your Majesty is Heavenly Reason." He said.

Cheng Guogong smiled gently.

"You say you're justified, and he says he's justified." "I don't know," he said. ”

"Cheng Guogong, what do you mean?" The queen couldn't help but ask.

The Duke of Chengguo gave a salute to the queen's place.

"The minister thinks that the matter of the edict should not be said." He said.

That's great!

The queen could hardly resist lifting the curtain and walking out.

Cheng Guogong smiled slightly.

"Your Majesty is so holy, didn't you have an arrangement?" He continued.

Already arranged?

Everyone present looked at him with some puzzlement.

"Have you forgotten?" Cheng Guogong also looked at everyone, "At the beginning, Miss Jun asked Your Majesty to make King Huai the crown prince, didn't Your Majesty say that everyone should discuss?" ”

At the beginning, Miss Jun said this sentence outside the emperor's mausoleum, which everyone knew, and then the emperor did not answer clearly, but asked the courtiers to discuss, which is also known to everyone.

"Then, everyone will follow His Majesty's instructions and discuss whether it is feasible to appoint King Huai as the crown prince." Cheng Guogong said, "Isn't this obeying the holy command? ”

There was silence in the courtroom.

Is this obedience to the Holy Commandment?

"This kind of holy order is not known to Lord Ning alone, but we all have heard and seen it with our own ears." Cheng Guogong continued, "Then if you discern the result in this way, you can convince people with reason." ”

I guess that's the truth.

That doesn't seem like a bad thing.

There was a slight commotion in the court, and a low voice of discussion sounded.

But what is the result of this chaos as it is now? On the contrary, Ning Yunzhao's side was even weaker, after all, he relied on the emperor's edict.

Cheng Guogong watched everyone stand up straight.

"In that case, then I'll state my opinion first." He said.

These words made the court quiet again, and all eyes fell on him.

"I think King Huai is very good." Cheng Guogong said.

The queen sat back on the dragon bed with a puff.

Finished.

.......

.........

"Chengguo Gong asked everyone to discuss with the court, saying that they should convince people with reason, but what."

Chen Qi said, he couldn't help but laugh when he said this, and he couldn't continue.

Miss Jun, who was taking off her cloak, looked at him.

"But what?" She asked.

"But Cheng Guogong brought 30,000 soldiers and horses, and he guarded outside the capital, refusing to go to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, saying that he wanted to protect the capital and protect the stability of the imperial city." Chen Qi said with a smile, squeezing his eyebrows, "I said that I would leave only when the crown prince was canonized and the government was stable, so as not to let the gold thief take the opportunity to make trouble." ”

He laughed as he spoke.

"I think he is clearly threatening everyone not to make trouble."

In many cases, military generals with military power can play a key role in the change of the throne.

What's more, at this time, the war has just subsided, and the majesty of Chengguo is even greater, and he has shown his support for King Huai, so many officials in this court must think carefully about how to choose.

Miss Jun pinched her collar and was slightly distracted.

What about it.......

"It's done!"

Someone suddenly lifted the curtain and rushed in, and said in a trembling voice.

Miss Jun turned her head to look and saw that it was the shopkeeper Liu.

His face was agitated.

"Just at the right time, the palace announced that he was canonized as the crown prince." He said in a trembling voice.

.........

.........

There is also a ceremony to crown the crown prince.

First of all, it is necessary to make the crown prince's dress, the original emperor did not plan to make his young son the crown prince, so the palace did not prepare a dress of such an age as the king.

Busy with production for a while, and there are many etiquettes to teach, Huaiwangfu is no longer like the previous door closed and no one dares to approach, but there is an endless stream of people coming and going.

"In addition to the crown prince's dress, the emperor's dress has also begun to be prepared." Cheng Guogong said, "After all, Your Majesty's dragon body is not safe, and when the crown prince is canonized, everyone will discuss the matter of Zen concession, so that Your Majesty can calm down and recuperate." ”

Miss Jun nodded.

"Zhu Zan didn't come back this time?" She asked.

didn't care about the matter of inner meditation, but asked Zhu Zhan.

Cheng Guogong smiled gently.

"Be on guard over there in the Northland." "Let him come back in a while," he said. ”

Miss Jun nodded, looking at the Huaiwang Mansion where people were coming and going.

"Are you going to meet Your Highness?" Cheng Guogong asked.

King Huai is no longer the previous King Huai, and as Miss Jun, it is not easy to see King Huai at this time.

But of course, this is just a rule, and if you want to see it, it's just a sentence from Cheng Guogong.

"I want to meet the Queen Mother." Miss Jun thought about it, looked at Cheng Guogong and said.

...........

.............

The heavy doors of the temple were pushed open by the eunuchs, and the sunlight poured in, brightening the room.

But soon the door was shut.

"The imperial doctor said that if the queen mother does not see the light, it is better for recovery." An attendant said cautiously.

The woman next to her was just wearing a county lord-grade dress, and for the chamberlain who was used to seeing the queen and princess, this kind of person was really unsightly.

But in the face of this woman, he put on a more humble posture than facing the queen princess.

Because this woman's status is not only a miracle doctor, but a hero who rescued the people of the capital, but because of the crown prince canonization ceremony that was being held in the former dynasty at this time.

Although this crown prince was decided by the court through deliberation, no one will forget that she was the first person to propose King Huai as the crown prince.

The crown prince is not only the crown prince, it will not be long before he will reign over the world and become the new emperor, the master of this palace.

And she is the greatest benefactor of this palace master.

This woman not only saved the new emperor from his illness and cured his pox, but also saved his life, from a prince who died silently all his life to a son of heaven who was feared by everyone.

Although, his original destiny was the Son of Heaven.

Miss Jun stopped.

The two chamberlains hurriedly pulled up the curtains, revealing the Queen Mother lying on the bed.

The queen mother is still unconscious, and the imperial doctors are helpless, saying that they are too frightened and hurt their hearts, and they can't say when they will wake up, so they can only use decoction to raise.

Miss Jun walked over, and the attendants lowered the curtain to cover their figures.

The attendant who led the way waved his hand and retreated with the people, leaving only Miss Jun in the Queen Mother's bedroom.

If it was before, there would definitely be no chamberlain who would dare to let Miss Jun face the Queen Mother alone.

But now, not before.

Miss Jun sat down, looked at the Queen Mother who seemed to be sleeping, looked at it seriously for a long time, and then reached out to stroke the Queen Mother's head, slowly stroked it for a moment, and lifted it, with a slender silver needle in her hand.

With the appearance of this silver needle, the Queen Mother took a breath as if she had woken up from a nightmare, and opened her eyes suddenly.

Her eyes were confused for a moment, and then she condensed, looking at Miss Jun in front of her, her face was bruised, and she struggled to get up suddenly.

"You, you dare to wake me up now!" She shouted in a dumb voice, "Aren't you afraid that I will tell the truth?" ”

She said with a fierce look in her eyes.

"Unless you kill me, I'll tell the truth."

Miss Jun smiled.

"No one cares about your truth now." "There are more people who won't let you tell the truth," she said. ”

Because the big picture is decided.

Just like when King Qi became the crown prince.

Those filthy truths don't need to be turned up again, all you want to see is the glamorous.

The Queen Mother glared at her fiercely.

"Are you here to show off?" She whispered.

Miss Jun shook her head.

"I just wanted to ask you a question." She said.

The Queen Mother looked at her.

Miss Jun also looked at her.

"After raising it for so long, do you really have no feelings at all?" She said.

This is incomprehensible.

The Queen Mother's eyes were also confused, she looked at Miss Jun, suddenly thought of something, and was suddenly stunned, and then shocked, and the person moved back suddenly.

"You, you." She shouted in a trembling voice, looking frightened and pointing at Miss Jun, "Are you a human or a ghost?" ”

Miss Jun watched her stand up.

"I used to think that I was not a human or a ghost, but now I think that you are a human and a ghost." She said, turning and walking outside.

The Queen Mother shrank on the bed and looked at the woman's back, her expression was shocked, as if she saw the woman turn her head, but it was not Miss Jun's appearance, but a seven or eight-year-old girl.

"Imperial grandmother, imperial grandmother." She shouted with a grin, and pounced on her with a bamboo pole net in her hand, "Look at the butterflies I caught, make appliquΓ©s for you." ”

The Queen Mother couldn't help screaming and stretched out her hand to push it hard.

"Go away, go away." She shouted.

The girl shattered and disappeared in her hand.

The woman who walked to the door stopped and turned to look at her.

"Nope!" The Queen Mother suddenly hissed, and her face became fierce, as if this could dispel all fear, "No! Not at all! ”

Miss Jun sighed, retracted her gaze and turned to continue walking, the curtain lifted and fell to cover the Queen Mother's sight.

"Nope! No! She continued to speak, her body slowly shrunk and hugged her knees, shivering, "No, no, not at all." ”

The palace gate closed, and the attendants bowed down to see Miss Jun leave.

I don't know how far I went, but Miss Jun's hand in front of her was released, and she sighed softly, there was the front hall in front, and the crown prince's canonization ceremony was being held at this time, but because of the emperor's illness, there was no drum music.

Would you like to check it out?

Although she was not qualified to go, she knew where to peek, after all, she had done this kind of thing since she was a child.

A hint of a smile appeared on the corner of Miss Jun's mouth, but the next moment her smile condensed on her lips, because there was a person standing on the palace road in front of her.

He was tall and robed in red, but the bright sunlight retreated, and he stood in the sunlight as if he was shrouded in shadows.

Lu Yunqi?

How did he get here?

Why did he come out again?

Miss Jun's complexion changed suddenly.

.......

.........

(5,400 words, this breath is too long, I didn't finish it....) Let's go on tomorrow, Momoda)
