Shoufu led hundreds of officials to Xiyuan to plead with Emperor Taishang to establish a new monarch, and in a very short period of time, it spread throughout the Gaomen Mansion in the entire capital, and the limelight even overshadowed Emperor Jingtai's funeral ceremony.

Everyone is paying close attention to this big event.

In the garden of the Hejian Palace, the Hejian King waved his hand to let the subordinates who had finished the report leave, and then leaned back on the backrest of the golden silk nanmu wheelchair, slightly closed his eyes and remained silent.

He was seriously wounded on the Iron Net Mountain, so he did not attend the emperor's funeral.

Behind him, the general who pushed the wheelchair for him couldn't help but say: "Lord Wang, Shoufu and all the ministers are gathered in Xiyuan, and the situation is only unfavorable to King Jing." ”

As a close confidant of King Hejian, he knew that his prince supported King Jing.

Also, the prince has no children, and King Jing, as the prince's righteous son, naturally has no reason not to support him.

In addition, King Jing is indeed worthy of love, not only good looks, good temperament, but also kindness, and extremely thoughtful and proper.

Take the chair that the prince sat on, it is said that when the prince had not returned to Beijing, King Jing specially instructed the people of the Ministry of Industry to build it.

It can be seen that King Jing treats the prince sincerely.

Therefore, not to mention that the prince likes King Jing, even the veterans around the prince like King Jing very much.

If you want to say that the throne will not let King Jing sit, they will not agree!

"After all, King Jing has just been crowned king, and he has not even held a ceremony to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, at this time, those people are going to force the Emperor Taishang to establish a new monarch, but I am afraid that the Emperor Taishang may not be able to establish King Jing.

The Emperor Taishang didn't pay much attention to people's character and virtue, thinking that the four princes were as vicious as the original, the Emperor Taishang not only did not hold him accountable, but also passed the throne to him......"

As the old man next to the king of the river, the family will know the hardships of the past years.

Fortunately, they didn't know that King Hejian was also the biological son of the Emperor Taishang, otherwise, they were afraid that they would be even more dissatisfied......

"Be calm and refrain from restlessness."

The King of Hejian did not move, his eyes were still closed, but he said indifferently.

The general didn't dare to say anything more, but judging from the resentment on his face, he was still very unhappy about the past.

Back then, their prince supported the Third Highness, but unfortunately the Third Highness was killed by the villain!

Could it be that the equally excellent son of the Third Highness now has to suffer from the mediocre villain of the King of Zhongshun?

"Zhongyi, how many people are there going back to Beijing this time?" The King of the River asked.

The general's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly replied: "Lord Wang, there are a total of 20,000 people and horses who have returned to Beijing this time, and there were almost no casualties on the Iron Net Mountain last time.

Now most of the men and horses are stationed outside the city, and only General Sun with a small number of men and horses is in the city waiting for King Jing to send them.

Does the prince want to ......?"

The generals were a little excited, when they were in the northwest before, every time the prince counted the soldiers and horses, it meant that he wanted to do a career......

Could it be that the prince is ready to use swords in the capital?

Hehe, the prince used to send troops to deter those tribes and small countries in the Gobi, but it was rare to mobilize so many 20,000 people.

As a person who has been in the military camp with the king of Hejian for half his life, he is very confident in the soldiers under his own prince, and feels that the 20,000 soldiers and horses under the command of the prince are enough to sweep those soft-footed shrimp in Beijing......

The King of the River was obviously not as confident as he was, and his brow furrowed, but he did not reprimand him.

He knew that some of these people around him were not so stupid and arrogant, but because they were by his side, they were used to following orders, and they were lazy to do things that weighed the pros and cons.

Yin Shen commanded: "You bring my words to Ma Wensheng and Xu Guangda, let them open up the school field outside the city as soon as possible, and then practice as if they were in the border camp, so as not to fall into the name of our northwest frontier army in front of the brothers in Gyeonggi and the northeast." ”

If it was in the past, he would naturally not deliberately show the prestige of his soldiers in front of the magnates in Beijing, but the current situation is different.

Anyway, he was already seriously injured, and it was caused by the emperor's escort, and he was not afraid of people saying that he was plotting against him.

Originally, he didn't have any other intentions in doing this, but sometimes he was too silent, and others would ignore your strength and try to make small moves to disgust people.

Only by showing off your muscles properly can more people clearly understand who is more qualified to sit in that position.

King Jing is a person in the game, and he is not good at doing anything, so he, as a father-in-law, has to give him a boost.

And he also has a feeling......

The Emperor Taishang may really not be able to do it, otherwise, after the rebellion is quelled, the border troops in the northwest and northeast should be repatriated, and they should be scattered and resettled, instead of being directly thrown outside the city and ignored as it is now......

"Father~"

There was a shout from under the corridor behind, and as soon as the king of the river waved his hand, the general saluted him and the lord of Yunni who ran over, and then withdrew.

"Father, why didn't you say a word to me, and you ran into the garden, it's so cold here......"

After this period of close care, the father-daughter relationship between Yunni and the King of Hejian is much stronger, not as raw as when the King of Hejian first returned to Beijing.

At this time, hearing Yunni's childish and crisp voice of concern, the king of Hejian was greatly relieved, beckoned her with a smile, touched her head, and said with a smile: "Father has been fighting horses for half a life, how can this cold wind get me ......?"

Before he finished speaking, Yun Ni frowned and said: "Hmm, father, you are still a hero, you are injured like this, Brother King Jing has already told me, let me take good care of you, if you get sick and cold again, I have no way to explain to him." ”

My father always didn't like to listen to her, but was very willing to listen to Jia Baoyu, so she was very smart to move Jia Baoyu's name out.

In this regard, the king of the river also smiled and did not refute it.

When he first came back, he still felt that his youngest daughter must have been spoiled by the Emperor and the Queen Mother. didn't expect that he was injured this time, but it made him see the good aspects of his naughty and unruly little daughter.

Seeing that she cared so much about herself, she felt a lot of guilt in her heart, and she only hated not to accompany her more when she was young.

But then he shook his head.

Biansai is bitter cold, it is not a good place, if she follows her, it is definitely not as good as living with the queen mother.

"Hey, I just asked my father for something...... Oh yes, the hour has come, it's time for you to drink the potion! ”

Yun Ni muttered to herself in surprise, and then got out of the crook of the Hejian King's arm, and rushed back and shouted, "Sister Xiurong, let them bring my father's decoction over ......"

Following Yunni's instructions, the maids in the rear brought up the nourishing Chinese medicine that had just been warmed.

The former county lord of Miaoyin has now changed into a maid outfit, but it is obvious that she has the trust of Yunni and walks in front of the maids.

Therefore, she took the initiative to pick up the jade bowl, came to the wheelchair, and bowed down to hand over the soup bowl.

Yun Ni caught it and took the initiative to serve the king of Hejian with medicine.

When she fed the king of Hejian a few mouthfuls with a spoon, she couldn't help but wonder: "Hey, father, what are you doing to look at Sister Xiurong, you are embarrassed to look at others......!" ”

Rao is king of the river is accustomed to seeing the wind and waves, and he has already practiced a very deep city, and when he heard his daughter's questioning at this time, he couldn't help but twitch his cheeks slightly.

Glaring at Yun Ni, who was slightly yin and yang, he took the soup bowl and gently flicked the spoon, and then said, "You are the sister of King Nan'an?" ”

Huo Xiurong was a little apprehensive in his heart, and when he heard the question, he hurriedly knelt down and responded: "Back to the prince, it was, now, and now the slave is just a maid by the county lord's side......"

Yun Ni saw her like this, and said that the grievances were very useless, so she went up and pulled her up, and blamed: "Oh, Sister Xiurong, what are you doing, didn't you say that you are still my sister Xiurong at home, and you are only my maid outside?" ”

Huo Xiurong shook his head, glanced at the King of Hejian, and did not speak.

The king of the river drank most of the decoction, beckoned the maid, put the spoon and the soup bowl on the tray, and then said lightly:

"Since you and Yunni had a relationship when they were young, you will stay by Yunni's side and serve faithfully in the future.

As for the Huo family, don't think about it in the future.

Your brother will definitely not survive if he rebels, and as for the rest of your Huo family, if you can live until the new monarch ascends the throne and gives amnesty to the world, there is still a way to live.

However, if I find that you can't keep to yourself, and you still want to do something for the Huo family, so that you are implicated in Yunni, I will not spare you.

Even cutting off the bloodline of your Huo family is not a difficult thing for me, do you understand? ”

"Oh, father, what are you doing, why do you want to scare Sister Xiurong! Hmph, Sister Xiurong is my person now, you are not allowed to bully her! ”

Hearing that the King of Hejian taught Huo Xiurong, Yunni was the first to be reluctant. In the past, grabbing the arm of the King of the River was a flick.

Well, my father's chest and right arm were injured, but her left arm was fine, so she threw it this way......

But as soon as she left, Huo Xiurong knelt on the ground again, tears in her eyes, "Please rest assured, the slave and maid can get the kindness of the county lord and save me and my mother's lives, the slave and maid are already lucky, how dare you think about it again?" The kindness of the county lord to me, the slave and maid will never forget it in their lives, and the slave and maid will never do anything unfavorable to the county lord, and please rest assured that the prince ......"

The King of the River nodded and said, "You go down." ”

"Yes~"

Huo Xiurong choked up and struggled to get up, revealing the origin of the delicate prince and noble daughter to the fullest.

was about to go back with the maids, and heard Yunni's voice again: "Sister Xiurong, don't cry, my father is the most unreasonable, he always disciplined me before, don't care, when I go back, we'll go to Sister Ye to play, ignore him!" ”

Huo Xiurong glanced back, but didn't dare to answer, just curtsied and retreated.

As soon as she left, Yunni continued to vent her dissatisfaction: "Father, what are you doing, Sister Xiurong's family has an accident, she is sad enough, you are still so fierce, you are so ruthless!" ”

The king of the river touched her head and smiled without saying a word.

Yunni is honest and kind-hearted, she will definitely not do anything to oppress the old little sisters.

Therefore, in order to protect her, he must be this wicked person, so as not to cause too many troubles in the other party.

……

In autumn and winter, the wind was blowing, making the ministers outside the garden tremble.

The sackcloth filial piety clothes issued by the palace are not very cold, not to mention that these ministers are already old and frail?

As a result, as time went on, more and more ministers persevered, and sneezes from the cold came one after another......

"Yuanfu, if we all go back, it looks like the Emperor Taishang won't see us......"

A person behind Wang Weiren trembled.

They have been kneeling until before noon, and if it weren't for that little bit of literati popularity, they would have left long ago.

Alas, what did you do here to suffer this sin, not only in the body, but worst of all, in the heart.

Although they all felt that they were doing the right thing, but now, they couldn't help but start to reflect, what would they do if the Emperor insisted on not giving them the steps? Is it really kneeling here?

The Emperor Taishang didn't know what was wrong, didn't they just ask for a new monarch, shouldn't the emperor be crowned a new monarch when he died?

They didn't ask the Emperor Taishang to do something against his will, but just asked him to say the new monarch he wanted, is it so difficult......?

Someone proposed, and naturally some people immediately echoed it and wanted to back down.

"That's it, Shousuke, let's go back, it's the same to come back another day......"

Wang Weiren glanced back at the hundred people behind him, and a considerable number of them already showed a look of misery.

These people were originally swingers, and they were not people who really obeyed his orders.

But they can retreat, but they must not retreat.

He is the first assistant, so he must have the dignity of being a prime minister, how can he blindly fear the imperial power?

And in order to rule over a hundred officials, he must also have majesty.

Today, they are so enthusiastic that if they come back in disgrace, won't he lose face?

If that is the case, wouldn't those people have even more reason to take refuge in Zongzhen and their side?

Therefore, he gave the protégé next to him a look, he didn't say much else, just turned around, bowed down to Xiyuan, and repeated the sentence: "Minister Wang Weiren, lead all the ministers, and implore the Emperor Taishang to bow down and make a clear decision, and set up a new monarch ......!" ”

The others immediately saw his determination.

Tan Ruisheng, who was behind Wang Weiren, immediately said impassionedly: "Ladies and gentlemen, if the Son of Heaven is not in trouble, the virtuous ministers will admonish him!"

What we are doing today is the Emperor's Avenue, even if we kneel and die in front of this white jade step, we will also die as we deserve. In the future history, there will be a stroke of me and all the adults......"

The so-called gentleman can be deceived in a way, probably so.

Tan Ruisheng said this, not to mention that those who only looked forward to Wang Weiren had a lot less scruples in their hearts, even those Qingliu old ministers immediately strengthened their beliefs, and even echoed their words:

"What Lord Tan said is extremely true, what we have done is worthy of the Father of Heaven and Earth, and we are not afraid of death, how can we be afraid of the cold?

Today, if we can teach the Emperor to understand the intentions of our courtiers by dying, we will be considered to have died a well-deserved death.

Ladies and gentlemen, we and the first assistant, please ask the Emperor Taishang to bow down and make a clear decision, and establish a new monarch as soon as possible! ”

So, under such a firm belief, more than 100 ministers and pillars of the court knelt neatly in front of the steps again.

It seems that they really want to use their lives to seek the power they deserve under the imperial power for the present and future generations......
