On the Golden Palace, hundreds of officials paid attention, and Chu Ruocai was dressed up and went out of class.

"The New Yuan Meeting, Vientiane is renewed, Chu Ruocai in the south, on behalf of my family, congratulations to Your Majesty on ascending to the pole!" When he stopped three meters away from the imperial platform, Chu Ruocai bowed and said respectfully.

Lao Jiu raised his hand and was about to open his mouth to let him flatten.

But he didn't want Zhang Bangli to jump out in front of him, glaring angrily, pointing at Chu Ruocai and shouting: "Bold, not only for the ministers who came to congratulate the new emperor on his ascension, but also dare not be a minister and not kneel on the ground?" Your Majesty, please punish this against him, and use it to uphold the power of heaven! ”

Lao Jiu's raised hand froze in mid-air, raised his eyes and swept the hall, only to see that all the courtiers' eyes were fixed on him, and his face was suddenly pale, and his angry eyes shot at Zhang Bangli, and he hated to cut this thief with a thousand knives immediately.

It's not that he didn't notice that Chu Ruocai was rude, but now he is only focused on dealing with King Ming.

If the Southern Army came to embarrass him, he would have found a way to attack the Southern Army without Zhang Bangli jumping out.

But seeing that Nanjun and King Ming seemed to have turned their faces, his attitude naturally changed, and of course he didn't want to cause trouble because of some face problems.

Now, being provoked by Zhang Bangli in public, under the gaze of the ministers, he can't turn a blind eye.

Can you force Chu Ruocai to kneel?

If he insists, what if he resists in public?

Slaughtered him and turned against the Southern Army?

Fortunately, there is King De here!

As His Majesty's pawn against King Ming, seeing that His Majesty was in an embarrassing situation, how could he not come out?

When even one turned around, he glared angrily at Chu Ruocai, and said sharply: "Chu Ruocai, Lin Huayao has the heart to return to the king, and Emperor Xian is lenient, so he is allowed to make meritorious contributions, regardless of his previous suspicions, and return him to the rule of the country." Now that the Southern Army has returned, you should abide by your duty, and now in front of Your Majesty, how dare you be rude and not quickly kneel down and ask for guilt? ”

When the courtiers heard this, their eyes turned to Chu Ruocai to see if he knelt or not.

In fact, everyone knows that they are united to resist the barbarians, and the Lin family said that they would return to the rule of the national dynasty and recognize the king as the lord again, but in fact, they are still kings in the south.

However, if the first emperor is still alive, the people of the southern army will still bow to the king at least on the surface.

But now that the first emperor has gone, the southern army saw that the country was unstable, and they were immediately rebellious, so they had the audacity to send troops and openly occupy the six cities of Xijiang.

At this point, he was still not satisfied, and when the new monarch took the throne, he had to make an inch, and wanted to break the contract and talk again.

Today, Chu Ruocai did not kneel in front of the palace, to be honest, the courtiers were not surprised at all, the southern army made it clear that it was going to take advantage of the sudden departure of the first emperor and the lack of prestige of the new emperor.

It has been rumored before that the Southern Army and the dynasty have reopened negotiations, and they want to change the previously determined recognition of the dynasty as the main dynasty to a brotherly state, and it is clear that the dynasty wants the dynasty to recognize its wolf ambition to establish itself as king.

But to everyone's surprise, under the angry shouts of King De, Chu Ruocai really pushed the golden mountain and fell to the ground on the jade pillar, and said in a panic: "Your Majesty forgives the sin, the minister was born in the countryside, and when he saw the majesty of the king for a while, he lost his manners, and asked His Majesty to be magnanimous and spare the life of the guilty minister!" ”

When the courtiers heard this, they were immediately stunned, and they all looked at each other, but they didn't expect the southern army to be so easily subdued.

Mo said that the courtiers were stunned, he clearly remembered that during the birthday banquet of the Queen Mother, this Chu Ruocai dared to make trouble under the nose of the first emperor, and now he is so respectful to himself?

"Your Majesty, this thief will not have bad intentions, please punish him!" Zhang Bangli jumped out again.

"Zhang Bangli, Chu Ruocai was only temporarily intimidated by the emperor's prestige, so he lost his square inch. Now that he has sincerely pleaded guilty, it shows that the Southern Army is loyal and awe-inspiring to His Majesty. Your Majesty ascended to the extreme, you should rule your subjects with leniency and benevolence, what are your intentions in making such a fuss? King De said righteously, and said to Lao Jiu: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that if Chu Ruocai is rude, a small punishment and a big admonition are enough." ”

"Your Majesty......" Zhang Bangli was not convinced.

"Shut up!" Lao Jiu immediately shouted angrily, he really wanted to cut this guy with a knife, but he knew very well that killing Zhang Bangli would only take an order, but there would be courtiers to intercede for him.

Before killing King Ming, he didn't want to fight with the courtiers first.

No longer looked at Zhang Bangli, turned around and sat on the dragon chair, and said to Chu Ruocai: "Since you know your mistakes, I am not a tyrannical king, this time I will write it down for the time being, and calm down!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Chu Ruocai stood up tremblingly, and cold sweat oozed from his forehead, as if he was really intimidated by the majesty of the new emperor.

When Lao Jiu saw it, he was very useful, and he couldn't help but look at King De again, and wondered in his heart, what did King De do, how did he make Chu Ruocai, and even the southern army be in awe of him.

I couldn't figure it out, he glanced at King Ming again, but saw that King Ming had long since lost his previous calm, and his face was gloomy at the moment, and his eyes were fixed on Chu Ruocai.

"Chu Ruocai, King De said you have something to say to me?" Lao Jiu was still more careful and didn't mention Qu Guogong directly.

Chu Ruocai suddenly bowed, his lips moved, but he suddenly turned his head to look at King Ming, and stopped talking: "Your Majesty, minister, minister......"

Where could the courtiers in the palace not see what he meant, only to see Lao Jiu also glanced at King Ming, and said with an expressionless sneer: "I said, on this golden palace, I let you speak, and no one can stop it." ”

When Chu Ruocai heard this, he immediately knelt down again with a puff, and bowed his head and bowed: "Your Majesty, the minister has grievances, please ask Your Majesty to be the master." ”

Isn't it here to prove that the king killed the Duke of Qu?

Didn't you come to express your support for the Southern Army to get rid of King Ming?

Why did he get involved in grievances again, how could Lao Jiu be in the mood to avenge any grievances for him?

"King De, what's going on?" Lao Jiu looked at King De.

King De immediately bowed his hand and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, it is better for Chu Ruocai to make this matter clear by himself, so as not to let some people accuse the ministers of coercion, or instigate the Southern Army to frame Zhongliang!" ”

As he spoke, King De also glanced at Zhang Bangli.

Zhang Bangli's face suddenly turned extremely ugly.

The ministers were also speechless at once.

Coercing and instigating the Southern Army?

Just rely on you, the king of Germany, to coerce and instigate the southern army?

Of course, all the ministers also knew that this was King De's satire on Zhang Bangli.

It was at this time that the courtiers could finally basically judge that King Ming was estimated to be really finished.

King De swore so much, obviously he was already in his chest, coupled with Chu Ruocai's respectful gesture to His Majesty, everything has already shown that the Southern Army is really going to deal with King Ming with His Majesty.

Many courtiers glanced at the three handsome people standing in the middle of the generals, Hu, Liu and Zhang, and saw that they were not the slightest surprised, obviously knowing that the southern army was going to turn against the king of Ming.

In other words, they have already passed the gas with the Southern Army, and they are obviously going to deal with King Ming with the Southern Army.

Many courtiers were unsure as to why the warlords had suddenly given up their support for the Ming Emperor as an enemy of the new emperor, which was clearly inconsistent with their position of disrupting the dynasty.

But no matter what the reason, the situation is already decided, it is a foregone conclusion that the warlord will overthrow the Ming King, and without the warlords to make trouble, it will be much easier for the dynasty to kill the Ming King.

Although the Daomen was still under the power of King Ming just now, seeing the previous appearance of Yuqing and the others, it was obvious that their hearts were also wavering.

In this way, if King Ming is killed today, the situation may not be chaotic.

Moreover, the key is that His Majesty's heart to kill King Ming is as strong as iron, and King Ming seems to be absolutely unspared today.

Many courtiers were surprised, thinking that His Majesty was impulsive, but they didn't expect that His Majesty could calm the warlord and deter the Daomen silently, which really shocked the ministers.

Your Majesty has already done this, and the situation is clear, and the courtiers naturally can't continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and if they don't open their mouths to support Your Majesty, it will be stupid.

The first to move was the Qu system, Qu Guogong was dead, and they were the only ones left to rely on, so they immediately jumped out: "Your Majesty, Chief Zhang has repeatedly spoken out to block the Southern Army's cross-examination, and I am afraid that he has bad intentions." ”

"Minister Zhang Bang used his power to intimidate and slander courtiers......"

"Minister Zhang Bangli is an auxiliary minister, but he fornicates with him, this crime should be punished!"

"The Daomen is the Dao Gate of the National Dynasty, the King of Ming actually made a rebellious statement when the court, regarded the Daomen as a private weapon, and the ministers participated in the great crime of the Ming Dynasty's rebellion, please punish Your Majesty!"

"The ministers and the Ming palace disrespected the monarch, and the following crimes were committed and wantonly slaughtered the king......"

In an instant, a large number of people in the court were out of the court, and they fired at Zhang Bangli and King Ming with righteous indignation.

Lao Jiu sat on the top, and after sitting on the dragon chair, his face finally eased for the first time, his eyes swept out of the class, and his eyes fell on Hu Qingyan, who was still kneeling in front of him silently, and his eyes became gloomy again.

Hu Qingyan didn't move, and there was a large group of officials behind him, kneeling on the ground, his heart pounding.

These people are naturally Hu Qingyan's henchmen, they are naturally nervous at the moment, and if they don't move at this time, they have the intention of having a hard top with His Majesty.

Mo Bai also turned his head to look at the officials, and saw that the people behind Hu Qingyan, although they were not as many as the people who went out to work in the Ming Palace, but they all held important positions, which was enough to occupy half of the court.

Seeing this, Mo Bai's heart was also slightly sinking, Hu Qingyan's strength in the court was too strong, which was not a good thing.

He knew the intentions of the first emperor, and the first emperor knew that the prestige of the new monarch was insufficient, and in this troubled era, the new monarch ascended to the throne, and the first thing was to stabilize the dynasty and not chaos.

Xinjun couldn't hold back, so he could only carry someone out to help him town.

Qu Guochang and King De, these two people have a clan and a relative, and they can be used to prevent more.

Zhang Bangli is loyal, but the problem is that what he has been doing is to offend the hundred officials, and the hundred officials respect him and stay away from him, and he can't be raised at all.

There is only one way to lift Hu Qingyan, Hu Qingyan is old and serious, and he has the ability to be in the field, so he can only choose him, and then use King De, Qu Guogong and Zhang Bangli to check and balance, he may be powerful for a while, but he is old and can't live for many years.

The first emperor's plan can't be said no, but the first emperor probably couldn't imagine that the conflict between Lao Jiu and King Ming broke out so quickly and so violently, and in a blink of an eye, it reached the point of incompatibility.

Lao Jiu can survive until Hu Qingyan dies of old age, but Mo Bai can't.

Once Lao Jiu is suppressed, then Mo Bai will naturally interfere in state affairs next, Hu Qingyan's power is too heavy, and it will not be a good thing for Mo Bai.

Mo Bai groaned in his heart, temporarily suppressed these thoughts, and for now he was looking at the present.
