Although Emperor Wanhua once commented that his articles were more than beautiful and lacking in connotation, it is undeniable that his articles are very popular with the children of the nobility, and because he is approachable and willing to teach, he is very respected by the children of the poor family.

It's just that at the moment, few people are in the mood to appreciate his carefully created articles.

An Shiyan walked into the hall step by step, reciting King Gong's crimes one after another, and wherever he passed, the ministers present were all dripping in cold sweat and trembling. And no one dared to pick up the text he swayed all the way.

King Gong's face was gloomy as water, and he stared at An Shiyan for a moment.

Those who have eyes can see that King Gong has been touched by the scales, and he may explode into a thunderous rage at any time.

However, An Shiyan was unconscious, and did not stop until he walked to the center of the main hall and finished reading the entire text, holding his head high, neither humble nor arrogant, and looked at King Gong without fear.

An Ruolan unconsciously clenched her fists under the table, her heart was pounding, and seeing this, Duchess Wei held her hand comfortingly.

The hall was silent, the timid lowered his head and trembled, and the bold eyes looked at An Shiyan complicatedly, and he didn't know whether he was regretting or laughing in his heart.

After a long time, King Gong finally spoke up, holding his hands behind his back and smiling: "An Shiyan, you are so bold." ”

An Shiyan's expression was awe-inspiring, his figure was as tall as a green pine in the snow, and he sneered: "It can't compare to His Royal Highness King Gong, who has worked hard to usurp the throne." ”

King Gong's expression changed slightly, and he said with a puzzled smile: "It is the hundred officials who support this king as the emperor, and this king is just obeying the mandate of heaven." How can you say that you are trying to usurp the throne? Your word should be applied to the Five Princes. ”

"The Five Princes are just pawns in your hands." An Shiyan pointed out without hesitation.

King Gong looked at him with a gloomy killing intent in his eyes, and he didn't speak again, but squinted his eyes at the people below.

Just now, a group of ministers who sang to let Emperor Wanhua abdicate and let Xian understand. Immediately, a minister who was eager to show meritorious service stood up and angrily reprimanded: "An Shiyan, you are so bold, the prince is the new emperor who everyone expects, and the emperor elected by the sky for the people of the world, you dare to be disrespectful to the new emperor, and you should be punished for your crimes!" ”

"He deserves to be punished!" There was a sound of harmony below, and many people asked King Gong to kill An Shiyan to set an example.

In the midst of shouts of killing. An Shiyan didn't show any panic, pointed at King Gong angrily, and said, "This is the true dragon son of heaven." It's still a chaotic minister and a thief, God knows it in his heart, and you traitors can't help but assert yourself! ”

A group of ministers turned pale with sarcasm and shouted, "Someone." Quickly confuse the people with this lie. The following thieves have been tied up! ”

Immediately, two armor-clad guards rushed into the hall and set An Shiyan up.

An Shiyan was not afraid, and said awe-inspiringly: "King Gong, you not only instigated the demon woman to drug Your Majesty, so that Your Majesty lost his mind and was controlled by you, but also colluded with Fanbang to murder Zhongliang, and provoked the five princes to usurp the throne. Create a trend that conforms to the destiny of heaven, and your rebellious heart is revealed. His heart can be punished, you are not qualified to be the emperor! ”

Although everyone present knew these things, An Shiyan said it unabashedly, which still made many people silent and frightened.

King Gong didn't seem to be able to bear it anymore, so he waved his hand directly and asked the guards to drag An Shiyan down.

An Ruolan trembled uncontrollably, and her face turned pale.

King Gong's eagle-like sharp eyes swept the audience, and he raised his hands and shouted: "Who else is not convinced?!" ”

The civil and military ministers below who were shocked by the changes immediately knelt on the ground and shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

Seeing that most of the people knelt down, some hesitant ones hesitated for a moment and then followed the three shouts.

One after another, many people obeyed, and seeing that, there were only a few people left in the entire hall who did not kneel.

King Gong looked at the remaining people, Meng Guogong's father and son, Zhou Yuhan, Weiguofu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, King Zhennan, etc., and even his uncle who had already surrendered to him, among these people, if it was not the Jin King's faction, or the neutral faction, although there were not many people, they were all people with heavy power or heavy soldiers, almost worthy of more than half of the people kneeling on the ground.

King Gong's face became very ugly, and he looked at Uncle Guo first, and said, "What does Uncle Guo mean by this?!" ”

Uncle Guo did not speak.

Zhou Yuhan picked up a piece of text scattered on the ground, read it carefully, and after praising it, he said: "The so-called name is not right, the current saint has not abdicated, and has not promulgated the edict of King Gong, the prince is in a hurry to ascend the throne as the emperor at this time, I am afraid it is not appropriate." ”

"What do you mean?" King Gong's eyes looked at Zhou Yuhan.

Zhou Yuhan smiled but did not speak.

At this moment, a group of guards with knives swarmed in, killing the forbidden army under Uncle Guo, who was originally guarding the palace, and surrounded the ministers present, and the leader was King Gong's only son, Zhao Qing.

Zhao Qing didn't know when he changed into a silver soft armor, with a big knife hanging from his waist, and he was wearing a big sword, looking mighty and brave.

He stepped into the main hall in a hurry, hugged his fists towards King Gong and said: "Tell my father, the Chaoyang Palace is under control, and the entrance to the imperial city and the palace has also been guarded by heavy troops. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Yuhan and the others all showed a solemn look on their faces, and those who submitted to King Gong saw the bloody knives in the hands of the guards behind them, and their faces were bloodless with fright.

"Hahaha!" King Gong looked up to the sky and laughed, and said proudly: "Do you think that with a few of you, you can prevent this king from becoming the emperor?" It's just wishful thinking! ”

He knew that these people were hard bones, so he didn't count on them at all.

King Gong kicked Emperor Wanhua, who collapsed under the dragon chair, and let the two guards hold him hostage, then sighed slowly, sat down on the dragon chair, and said: "You are all the pillars of the country, this king is a person who loves talents, if you obey the mandate of heaven and support this king as the emperor, this king does not want to make a big move, and it is to this point." ”

"So what does the prince mean is that if I don't support you as emperor, you will get rid of you as soon as possible?" Zhou Yuhan said with a smile, without the slightest fear on his face.

Those who are timid immediately kneel down and shout long live.

This comparison, King Gong's heart is even more uncomfortable, what he needs is not these people who are greedy for life and afraid of death.

He tried to persuade Zhou Yuhan and others. said bitterly: "Zhao Kuang is no longer the Wanhua Emperor of the year, and now he is mediocre and incompetent, and he only knows how to drink and have fun every day." If you don't think about politics and don't do business, is such a person still worth your life for him? ”

Meng Guo said: "A person has a scale in his heart. ”

This is already obvious.

King Gong sank his face and snorted coldly: "In this case, don't blame this king for being ruthless, without you, this king can cultivate a new pillar of the country!" ”

He made a decapitation motion, and the guards behind everyone immediately raised the bloody knife in their hands.

"Wait!" Zhou Yuhan shouted. stood up and said, "I'm afraid that the prince has misunderstood the meaning of the ministers." ”

"Oh?" King Gong's eyes turned to him, and he was finally moved. There was a hint of satisfaction in my heart.

"What Weichen means is that Emperor Wanhua has not abdicated yet, and if the prince establishes himself as king at this time, he will be criticized." Zhou Yu wrote.

"So what?" King Gong rubbed his fingers. Idle: "That's what you mean." I'm afraid that Meng Guogong and the others are not different from you. ”

The guards behind Meng Guogong and the others raised their knives again.

Meng Guogong's expression was grim, and he said: "If the prince still wants to know the whereabouts of Shao Wuchang, please keep someone under the knife." ”

"You're threatening me?" King Gong narrowed his eyes slightly, he slowly glanced around, suddenly understood something, and said, "Are you delaying time?" Do you think someone will come to save you? His voice was colder than the water in the harsh winter.

With a sinking expression, King Gong said, "Give me a hand!" ”

Seeing that Zhou Yuhan and the others were about to splatter three feet of blood, An Ruolan shouted without thinking: "Wait!" ”

The hand wielding the knife stopped as it rubbed his neck. Zhou Yuhan and the others couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Everyone looked at An Ruolan, and everyone was surprised. Under the shocked or uneasy gaze, An Ruolan pinched his fingertips fiercely, forced himself to calm down, and said, "His Royal Highness King Gong doesn't seem to have confidence in his plan. ”

As soon as this remark came out, it caused an uproar, and everyone speculated whether the county lord of Chenshuang was crazy and dared to brush the tiger's whiskers at this time.

Zhou Yuhan and the others showed anxiety and worry on their faces, and they all asked An Ruolan to stop talking, for fear that King Gong would really kill her in anger.

King Gong's expression changed, and he said, "Oh? Tell me, why is this king not confident? ”

Seeing that he didn't order the guards to do it again, An Ruolan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then took a deep breath and said, "If the prince is confident that he can sit on the throne, he will not be in a hurry to kill him, is it possible that the prince thinks that there are still people who can break through the layers of defense and destroy your plan?" ”

She could see that her grandfather and uncle were trying to delay time, so she risked her life to speak.

Hearing this, King Gong raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile: "The county lord of Chenshuang is really quick-witted, witty and courageous, but unfortunately this king will not fall for your radical method." ”

An Ruolan's heart jumped, and he suppressed his trembling and said: "Shao Wuchang once said that the brave are fearless and the strong are fearless, only the truly strong can be fearless, obviously the prince is not." Because you are afraid, you are afraid that the bamboo basket will be empty, and you are afraid that all the careful calculations you have made so far will come to naught! Shao Impermanence has seen through you a long time ago, so he asserted back then, saying that you will never be able to sit in this position! And your father, the first emperor, also knew you too well, so he didn't pass on the throne to you! ”

"Bold!"

Immediately after the end of her words, King Gong shouted angrily, looking at her with tears in his eyes.

Before this, although King Gong was angry, he was always calm, but at this moment, he was distracted, because An Ruolan stepped on his sore foot.

Shao impermanence, Emperor Xian, this is a forbidden place in King Gong's heart that no one dares to touch.

"Come on, kill her on the spot!" King Gong's forehead was bruised, and he shouted loudly.

Duchess Wei Guo, Zhou Yuhan and others were shocked, and the group of people who were calm and calm just now were all panicked.

No one noticed that one of the guards holding Emperor Wanhua hostage secretly clenched his fists.

Just when everyone was anxious, Zhao Qing stood up and said, "Father's anger! Morning Frost is unintentional, and I ask my father to spare her this time! ”

Seeing this, everyone was shocked, no one thought that Zhao Qing would intercede for An Ruolan, including An Ruolan himself.

Duchess Weiguo's expression was a little subtle, but she was secretly relieved in the end. (To be continued......)
