(Chapter 302)
Pei Lu didn't feel embarrassed, after the salute, he straightened up, turned to face everyone, "Colleagues, the emperor died suddenly, without leaving a word, the matter of passing on the throne has been empty to this day, the old man is fortunate to have the emperor's trust, and he has already entrusted the edict to the old man for safekeeping, and now the heart of Qi Guo wants to encroach on my Daqin is obvious, it's time to welcome the new emperor." ”
He clapped his hands, and the two attendants walked in with a little prince in a black-robed dragon patterned suit.
The little prince was still young, and when he saw so many people in the court, he had long been afraid and wanted to hide, but the two attendants behind him kept pushing him, and he had to stagger forward.
When he arrived in front of Pei Lu, he hurriedly handed him a bright yellow holy decree in his hand.
Pei Lu didn't even look at the little prince, took the holy decree and opened it.
"The ministers listened to the order, carried the emperor in heaven, and the edict said: The third prince Cen Rui, Zhide Jieling, smart as Ming, won the deep will, will be able to inherit the unification, raise the prestige of the country, succeed me to the throne, and be regarded as the Son of Heaven, admire this."
After reading the holy decree, Pei Lu's gaze immediately swept sharply over all the ministers present, but the people who knelt down did not even occupy half of them.
Ever since he found out that Lu Xuan was trying to do something wrong, he had expected such a scene as today, but now he couldn't say anything other than sighing that the world was cold and people's hearts were unpredictable.
"Do you want to be disrespectful?" Pei Lu asked.
"Taifu Pei is so presumptuous, he dares to be so presumptuous in front of His Royal Highness the Prince!" I sneered, lifted my robe, and walked in from outside the hall.
Pei Lu's eyes were stunned, and he immediately became gloomy.
She actually came alive!
"Isn't Master Taifu surprised to see his true appearance?" With a sneer on my face, I walked over to him and stood still.
Pei Lu narrowed his eyes for a moment, "Shen Xiang, as the head of a hundred officials, is so late, don't you feel ashamed?" ”
"Shame?" I seemed to have heard some big joke, and shook my head while laughing, "Master Pei doesn't feel 'ashamed' when he pretends to pass on the holy decree, but he just feels 'ashamed' because he encountered a few mad dogs blocking the road and was a few steps late?" Mrs. Pei's age, etiquette, righteousness and shame, and the sage's scriptures, I guess I have forgotten it, right? ”
"Do you know what kind of crime it is to slander the Holy Decree?" Pei Lu looked at me fiercely, and he took a step forward, and he was about to walk in front of me in a few clicks, but at this moment, Cen Xi, who had been silent, suddenly took a step across and blocked in front of me.
I was stunned, and Pei Lu was also stunned.
"Taifu, you crossed the line." Cen Xi looked at him expressionlessly, and the majesty of the emperor was revealed in an instant.
Even Pei Lu, who has countless experiences, can't help but take a step back in the face of such majesty.
Some people are born to sit in that seat.
I know, and so does Peru.
So I was willing to be a minister, but Pei Lu was unwilling.
Will people's greed become more and more crazy as they enter the WTO the deeper they enter the WTO?
Maybe it is, maybe it isn't.
Lowering my eyes slightly, I walked out from behind Cen Xi and took out a wooden box from my sleeve with a solemn expression.
Raising my hand to open it, I raised the wooden box high, and looked at the ministers condescendingly, "Long Yu is here, don't you kneel down?" ”
The ministers were startled and knelt down one after another. Bayi Chinese Network
My gaze lightly swept over Pei Lu and Cen Xi on the side, Cen Xi looked up at me, didn't say anything, leaned down and bowed, at this time Pei Lu didn't want to worship, so he could only grit his teeth and kneel at my feet.
"Long Yu attacked the throne, orthodox and obedient, according to the emperor's command, the prime minister opened Long Yu here, and personally showed the emperor's true edict." After I finished speaking, I took out a black hosta engraved with red lotus patterns from the sachet on my waist, "This is the hairpin key given by the emperor before he died, you witness." ”
I put the two boxes on the tray brought by the eunuch on the side, then took out the dragon jade, pointed the hairpin key at the top of the dragon eye and inserted it.
The ministers held their breath, and the entire hall was suddenly full of needles.
"Smack!" There was a slight sound of the reel, and the dragon jade split in the middle, and a thin note fell gently in front of everyone's eyes, and I reached out and quietly caught it.
I glanced at the contents of the paper and unfolded it in front of the ministers.
The two big characters "Cen Xi" appeared prominently on the white paper, and the red seal of the jade seal appeared on it.
"Can you see it all? Don't you bow down to the new emperor? I suddenly lowered my voice, my eyes swept over the faces of the ministers for a moment, I took a step forward, stretched out my hand, and solemnly lifted Cen Xi on the ground.
The people present are all cultivated spirits, they all know what it is to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, where the general trend is, and they have congratulated Cen Xi as the king, and a few unconvinced people wanted to get up and protest, I glanced over, and the Imperial Forest Army, who had been waiting outside the main hall for a long time, immediately rushed in and stunned those people and dragged them out of the main hall.
The ministers trembled suddenly, and those who were still wavering did not dare to make any more changes at this time.
I saw that the general trend of the court had stabilized, turned to face Cen Xi, bowed and knelt, and gave a great gift to the monarch and ministers, "Wechen knock to see the new emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”
Cen Xi looked down at me, the light in his eyes was as fleeting as a meteor.
He squatted down and gently helped me up, "Qing, flat." ”
I was stunned, and I looked up at him a little blankly, only to see that he was slightly bent and seemed to be smiling at me.
I didn't dare to think about what his smile meant, so I turned my head to look at Pei Lu, who was standing straight.
"Master Taifu, don't you kneel when you see the new emperor?"
"Kneel?" Pei Lu raised his head and laughed twice, "What the old man has in his hand is the real edict, why do you kneel to him as a fake emperor?" ”
I pursed my lips and deliberately took a step closer in Cen Xi's direction as he opened his mouth, "Master Taifu, do you really want to be obsessed?" ”
Pei Lu sneered, "It's you who is obsessed, the prime minister who died in Daqin, you colluded with the prince and tampered with the candidates for the throne in Longyu without authorization, aren't you afraid of the wrath of the thunder god and the intolerable underworld?" ”
"Mrs. Pei!" I saw that the more he spoke, his anger was about to burn on Cen Xi, and I quickly stopped him, "Pei Ling hasn't appeared here yet, haven't you noticed anything wrong at all?" ”
Pei Lu paused, frowned at me, "What do you mean?" ”
"He ......"
"Come on, Pei Lu will commit the following crimes, insult the majesty of the heavenly family, press him down to me, and convict him on a later date." For some reason, Cen Xi suddenly became angry, and scolded someone to suppress Pei Lu.
"Wait ......" I subconsciously took a step forward, but was caught by Cen Xi's eyes.
"Retreat!"
Cen Xi flicked his sleeves and left.
I glanced at Pei Lu, who was dragged down, and then at the direction Cen Xi left, his face turned pale, and his eyes were dark, and he suddenly lost consciousness.
