Chapter 427: Crowning the Kings
The next day, the palace of the king of Qin, the main hall of the court.
Xiao Yuan was wearing a royal robe, wearing a royal crown on his head, nine strings of jade beads on his forehead, and a sword of King Qin on his waist, and strode over.
The temple guards knelt on one knee.
The ministers in the palace are left and right, and their bodies are lower.
Shang Rui couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and there was obviously a hint of panic in his expression.
Every now and then, his mood is indescribable.
Walking to the front of the main hall, Xiao Yuan stood still, and directly arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty." ”
"Huh? King Qin is here, hurry up and excuse me. Shang Rui hurriedly stretched out his hand.
"Minister, there is a book."
Xiao Yuan's voice was obviously a little tired, but he still had to do business.
Without waiting for Shang Rui to answer, he had already said again: "The previous Yan King usurped the throne, the alliance of the states, and the order to rebel, all of which have immortal merits, and they should be commended in this way." ”
"Yes, what King Qin said is very true." Shang Rui echoed it.
"Please also ask Your Majesty to draw up an order immediately."
Xiao Yuan was too lazy to talk nonsense, and said directly:
"Sealed, King Liang, King Liangzhao."
"Spirit King, for the Spirit King."
"King Xuan, for King Xuanhui."
"And with the edict of the Son of Heaven, proclaim to the world, the monarchs of all countries, if there is no Son of Heaven to give the title, the person who privately adds the title is to rebel and stand on his own!"
At this time, the imperial flag in his hand played a role again.
There is no doubt that this addition will obviously improve the status of Xuan, Ling, and Liang, and the three kingdoms, and the three kings will gladly accept it.
This is Xiao Yuan tying them together in disguise.
Wu Chu and other countries, if you don't accept it, you can't do it!
You dare to call yourself a title.
As soon as he finished speaking, Shang Rui was stunned for a moment, and then he was forced to respond: "Okay, okay, I will make an order immediately." ”
At this time, Dong Hua stood up and sneered: "King Qin has sealed all the meritorious princes, but he is really modest if he doesn't talk about himself." ”
Xiao Yuan looked at him, and he was not angry, and said with a smile: "As far as Gu is concerned, none of this is important. ”
"Hehe, King Qin is really a pragmatic and non-pragmatic person!" Dong Hua continued to insinuate.
These words have already vaguely shown that King Qin is too arrogant and is already making an order for the Son of Heaven!
But Xiao Yuan was still not angry, smiled slightly, and ignored it anymore.
Dong Hua was helpless, and he didn't dare to come with Xiao Yuan openly, so he had to retreat back.
Shang Rui looked left and right, and said with a forced smile: "Yes, King Qin, the prime minister's words are reasonable, otherwise, I will grant you the title of King Wu of Qin." ”
"Your Majesty is free." Xiao Yuan said indifferently, and said:
"In addition, for the subject state of Huan and Anguo, please make an order to revoke the title of King An of Yu Anmin, demote him to the Marquis of Anyang, and order him to ask the imperial court for guilt!"
"Huh? This ...... "Shang Rui was a little surprised.
Xiao Yuan glanced at him and asked again: "When Yu Anmin was called king, was it sealed by His Majesty?" ”
"No, he didn't." Shang Rui Dao.
"That's it, this is self-proclaimed king, how can the imperial power be child's play! If Yu Anmin does not ask the emperor for his guilt, he will be killed! ”
Yes!? Hearing this, Shang Rui was startled at first, but then he was a little excited and excited, because Xiao Yuan's words were defending his imperial power!
"Good! Good! I immediately issued an order, and I will do everything King Qin says! ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xiao Yuan arched his hand again, and said: "In addition, the imperial jade seal has been recovered by the ministers, and it will be returned to Your Majesty later." ”
"Huh? Are you sure? I don't know how many times Shang Rui was surprised.
He couldn't hide his excitement and said: "The imperial jade seal, symbolizing the royal family, I accidentally lost it, I am ashamed of my ancestors, and now I have been found by the King of Qin, how can I thank you......"
"Your Majesty doesn't have to be like this, this is what the minister should do, if there is nothing else to do, the minister will retire first."
After Xiao Yuan finished speaking, Yi Shili was leaving, he still had a lot of things to do, and after finishing his business, he was too lazy to talk nonsense here.
"Then, King Qin walks slowly......" Shang Rui hurriedly stepped forward, and looked like he was about to get up.
After he left, the hall immediately became noisy, and the ministers of the imperial court were talking about each other.
However, due to the existence of Jiang Yi and Ding Rong, everyone didn't dare to say anything, and it wasn't until the court discussion dispersed that Dong Hua asked to see Shang Rui alone.
In the room, Dong Hua first knelt on the ground to give a salute, and then looked distressed, and said sadly:
"Your Majesty, the King of Qin is arrogant and domineering, every time he goes to the palace, he wears royal clothes, hangs a sword at his waist, and despises the Son of Heaven, how is it good to go down like this......"
"This, this." Shang Rui said at a loss: "Although the King of Qin is domineering, he has finally cleared away the traitors for me, and today's court discussion and words are also defending the orthodoxy of the royal family." ”
"Your Majesty!" Dong Hua hurriedly said: "Then King Qin, he said that he was guarding the imperial power, but in fact, he was the biggest traitor!" Your Majesty didn't see it, today in the palace, it is completely him who gave the order, where can Your Majesty refuse. ”
"This ......" Shang Rui didn't know what to say again.
Dong Hua continued: "Such a traitor, if you don't get rid of it, the empire will overturn, and the society will be in danger!" Your Majesty should have a plan! ”
With such words, Shang Rui was almost so frightened that he screamed, and even his face changed, and he hurriedly whispered:
"Silence! Silence, Prime Minister! Inside and outside this palace, there are many eyes and ears of King Qin. ”
"Huh!?" After he reminded him, Dong Hua was also shocked into a cold sweat, and he didn't forget to look left and right, and was afraid for a while, and then echoed in a trembling voice: "Yes, yes, Your Majesty is right, we need to discuss it in a whisper." ”
But after Shang Rui was shocked, he relieved his breath and was embarrassed again: "But this, but this is good, although I am not as good as the palace in the palace of King Qin, I also eat well and sleep well, why do I have to provoke the king of Qin, prime minister, let's not take risks......"
"But Your Majesty, are you really willing to be controlled by King Qin for the rest of your life, and the imperial power will be sidelined?" Dong Hua said sadly.
Hearing this, Shang Rui's expression became complicated: "But, but King Qin is powerful, and I am afraid of ......."
"Your Majesty, don't worry, the minister already has a plan in his heart, and he can definitely take the head of the king of Qin." Dong Hua lowered his voice and said.
"What!?" Shang Rui was startled again, and his eyes widened at the same time.
Dong Hua continued: "If the King of Qin dies, hundreds of thousands of Qin troops will be leaderless and panicked, and at that time, Your Majesty will use the identity of the Son of Heaven to win over some generals and important ministers of the Qin State, and promise to take the throne, then the major event can be decided." ”
Listening to his plan, Shang Rui came back to his senses, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva fiercely, cold sweat had oozed from his forehead unconsciously.
The decline of imperial power has the most direct relationship with him, a faint monarch, cowardice and incompetence, arrogance and extravagance, which have created all this.
"Kill...... ...... kill the King of Qin? His tongue was a little knotted and he stammered.
"Yes!" Dong Hua replied in a low voice, and his face became gloomy.
"But if you ...... But if things change......"
"Your Majesty, rest assured, as long as you nod your head, this policy is guaranteed to be foolproof!"
