Chapter 695: The New Monarch Enters the Set
I saw an old minister, trembling and getting up from the ground.
Then regardless of etiquette, he went out of class directly, staggered to the front of King De, stared at King De, and asked tremblingly: "Lord, you, you, you said that Qu Guogong, been, been, was ...... Killed? ”
His voice was not loud, trembling and stammering, indicating his panic and uneasiness at the moment.
King De took a deep breath, nodded at the old minister, and said in a low voice: "Yes, Qu Guogong has indeed been killed and died in the bloody case on the outskirts of Beijing!" ”
"It can't be!" At this point, another angry and frightened voice sounded: "Impossible, didn't you say yesterday that the murder of Qu Guogong was a rumor?" Why today, just, just ......"
The minister could not go on, and there was no need for him to say any more.
I just heard that King Ming was plotting to assassinate the monarch and forcing the palace to commit such a shocking thing, and the ministers who never immediately jumped out to express their position.
At this moment, it was completely boiling, and there were countless courtiers, who no longer cared about etiquette, and got up directly from the ground and ran to the front.
Before Lao Jiu came back to his senses, the Golden Palace was completely chaotic.
The courtiers were stunned, and surrounded King De, Hu Qingyan, and Zhang Bangli, and an angry roar filled the entire palace.
"Didn't you say yesterday that Qu Guogong was just seriously ill and recuperating, how could he be killed today, King De, you have to give us an explanation for this matter."
"Elder Ge, yesterday you can personally guarantee in public that Qu Guogong was not killed, not killed!"
"The Beijing suburb bloody case, is it a Beijing suburb bloody case......"
"Rumors, Elder Ge promised, it's just rumors, and Lord Yu ......"
"Yes, Lord Yu, Lord Yu, he and Lord Lu went to see the Guogong Mansion in person yesterday......"
"Lord Yu, Lord Lu, what the hell is going on......"
"You are so bold, you dare to conceal such a big thing and not report it, you are the same party of King Ming......"
It's messed up, the Golden Temple is completely messed up!
The officials of the Qu faction are like mourning and examining, and their eyes are torn.
They didn't find King Ming first, but attacked Zhang Bangli, Hu Qingyan, and even King De.
The officials under Hu Qingyan and the three were also in shock, and they were also boiling for a while, and they did not go up to protect the three of them as soon as possible.
Until they saw that they were surrounded, even King De and Zhang Bangli were directly grabbed by the collars.
The officials under the three of them reacted, and hurriedly rushed up, pulling and dragging at the officials of the Qu department, trying to protect Hu Qingyan and the three of them.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
"Don't mess around, your majesty is in charge of everything!"
"You dare to hit this official?"
"Protect the Pavilion Elder!"
Questioning turned into shoving, shoving turned into fighting, and soon it was a mess.
Hu Qingyan said that the three of them were okay here, although they were angry, they were still measured.
But Yu Zheng and Lu Yutong, the two adults who had been to the Qu Guo Mansion and claimed to have seen the Qu Guo Mansion, were not so lucky.
There is no room for them to explain, for whatever reason, they are traitors, traitors to the Qu family.
The angry Qu officials had already knocked them to the ground, and there was a group of beatings.
The chaos brought about by the death of a Duke of Qu is beyond imagination.
It's like the life and death of a Qu Guogong, which is heavier than Lao Jiu, who is still a little dazed standing in front of the dragon chair at the moment, in the hearts of the ministers.
At this time, no one seemed to remember that this was the Jinluan Treasure Palace, and no one cared that the emperor was right in front of them.
The death of Qu Guogong has brought unimaginable shock to the Qu officials, and it is not only sad to be so chaotic, but also unimaginable fear and unwillingness.
The backer has fallen, and all the officials of the Qu system know that soon there will be a new round of reshuffle in the court.
There can be no calm, no indifference, otherwise what awaits them is to be cleansed.
They must make trouble, they must unite to make a big fuss, this is to fight for Qu Guogong, but also for themselves.
Chu Ruocai, who was standing at the back, looked at Yu Zheng and Lu Yutong with shocked eyes, and in an instant, his nose and face were blue and swollen, and blood was coming out of his mouth and nose.
Chu Ruocai couldn't help but shudder, he suddenly realized that if he dared to play tricks today, he would not cooperate with Lao Jiu and lock the murderer to King Ming.
Then I'm afraid that without Lao Jiu coming forward, he will be directly torn to pieces by the group of courtiers in front of him who seem to be crazy.
Thinking of this, Chu Ruocai's face was ugly, and he couldn't help but look up with fear at the new gentleman who was standing in front of the dragon chair and directed all this with his own hands.
Originally, he still wanted to play some tricks, let Xinjun fight with King Ming first, and wait for Xinjun to suffer some losses, and then come forward to help.
But now, he can't help but feel chills in his heart, where can he dare to have half a bit of tricks.
For a long time, whether it was Lin Huayao or Chu Ruocai, they all looked down on this new monarch.
It was only at this moment that Chu Ruo knew that they were afraid that they had underestimated Xinjun, from the beginning to the present, Xinjun had not even seen his face, and after arriving at the Golden Palace, he had not given him a look, and giving him the slightest hint had already made him have to be obedient.
Xinjun's self-confidence and planning made Chu Ruocai suddenly regret it in his heart, maybe he was wrong to help Xinjun get rid of King Ming, but the matter has come to this point, and he has no room for remorse.
Chu Ruocai shook his head slightly, his gaze moved to King Ming, and he frowned.
I saw that King Ming was still standing in front of the palace without waves, calmly watching the chaos in the hall, without any movement.
"It's all in this situation, doesn't he still have hole cards to turn over?" Chu Ruocai was a little surprised.
But at this moment, I saw that King Ming suddenly looked back at him, his eyes were obviously solemn and uncertain, and there were deep warnings and threats.
Chu Ruocai was stunned for a moment, and then his heart moved, and he reacted: "It turns out that he also knows that the crisis is near, but now he is just pretending to be calm." That's right, after listening to Zhang Bangli's testimony, he must have begun to suspect that we betrayed him, so now he wants to threaten me not to mess around. ”
That's right, maybe in the eyes of King Ming, as long as our southern army stands up and denies that the death of Qu Guogong is related to the Ming Palace.
That Bang Li's accusation is a frame-up with no evidence at all.
Compared with King Ming, the collusion and rebellion accused by King De are far less serious than the killing of Qu Guogong.
The performance of the ministers in the Golden Palace was already very clear before, and King De pointed out that it proved that the king was plotting against the palace, and the reaction of the ministers was far less than that of Qu Guogong being killed.
Chu Ruocai can also understand that what the officials care about is not Qu Guogong's life, but their own life, if Qu Guogong is not killed and not pursued wantonly, then their own safety will not be guaranteed in the future.
As long as the Ming Wangfu is not charged with killing Qu Guogong, it is impossible for the ministers in the palace to have the same hatred, and the so-called rebellion against the palace, the Ming King will not admit it, even if the dynasty is ready for evidence, the Ming King is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
With the Southern Army, and the three marshals of Hu, Liu and Zhang, plus Daomen is on the side of King Ming, the dynasty also has to scruple about three points, not that if you frame him, you can frame him.
So what is really fatal to King Ming is the crime of killing Qu Guogong.
In fact, in Chu Ruocai's opinion, King Ming really thought too much.
Maybe King Ming is used to being domineering and too arrogant, and he hasn't seen the situation clearly until now.
The new emperor made it clear that he was iron-hearted, and he would be removed no matter what he was today.
The guilty must be eliminated, and the innocent must also be eliminated, King Ming still thought that he could save his life with the skill of checks and balances, and even now he will count on their southern army......
Chu Ruocai felt strange in his heart, not to mention that he was not ready to help King Ming, just with the madness of these Qu officials now, it was impossible for him to carry the black pot of Qu Guogong's killing on the southern army.
However, Chu Ruocai's face was naturally silent, and he quietly nodded to King Ming.
Sure enough, after Mo Bai saw his hint, his expression was obviously calmer again.
After receiving Chu Ruocai's nod hint, Mo Bai was also silent, and glanced at Yuqing and the others.
At this moment, several people were obviously becoming more and more difficult to composure, their eyes couldn't help but look at King Ming, and Mo Bai didn't need to say anything to them, just looked at them calmly, and then looked away.
Several people felt King Ming's composure, and couldn't help but look at each other, and in the end, they could only be silent.
Before King Ming didn't make any movement, the only thing they could do was to remain silent, let their hearts panic, and their faces were still calm.
On the Golden Palace, it is impossible to keep messing around.
"Enough!" With Lao Jiu, who had already reacted, let out a clear drink, the crazy Golden Palace calmed down.
But then, all the officials knelt on the ground again, and the officials of the Qu Department seemed to have been rehearsed, accompanied by Lao Jiu's voice, they knelt directly on the ground together, and said in unison, with a face full of grief and indignation: "Your Majesty, the Duke of Qu Guo, as the auxiliary minister of the current dynasty, is now murdered by the rebellious ministers and thieves, and the ministers ask Your Majesty to severely punish the murderer and correct the dynasty." ”
Lao Jiu didn't care about the others, he only stared at King De, and his gaze had turned cold again.
He is not a fool, how did Qu Guogong die, he knows, King De knows, and the most important thing is that King Ming also knows that King De first stood on his side, making everyone think that he was his own person, and now he suddenly turned back, and the truth of Qu Guogong's death was revealed, which would inevitably make everyone think that he was framing King Ming.
He doesn't care about planting anything or not, and he doesn't care about King De's methods, anyway, he has to kill King Ming no matter what.
He was just angry, angry that King De dared to play him at such a time.
King Kede looked up at him at this time, but his eyes seemed to reassure him.
Lao Jiu was really angry, but at this moment, he saw Hu Qingyan and Zhang Bangli, who were also staring at King De in a daze.
Lao Jiu's heart moved, and he turned his eyes to sweep King Ming, and sure enough, he saw that King Ming was also pale, and he had not spoken, but at this moment he actually looked at King De and asked, "What did you just say?" Say who I killed? ”
Lao Jiu was originally full of anger, but at this time, he was a little confused by their expressions, it seems that Hu Qingyan, Zhang Bangli, and even King Ming were all confused by King De.
It's not like it's colluded in advance.
Lao Jiu was suspicious in his heart, and after a slight silence, he decided to see what the hell King De was doing, anyway, no matter whether he was playing tricks or not, he couldn't shake Lao Jiu's determination to kill King Ming.
In fact, to put it bluntly, he still hoped that King De was not playing tricks on him, but that there was really some arrangement.
Looking at the scene of the crowd on the Golden Palace, who were excited and hated the same enemy, and wanted to kill the Ming King, he was of course moved.
After all, if there are hundreds of officials in the court who willingly support him to kill King Ming, it is much better than insisting on killing King Ming.
But I only heard King De arch his hand to Lao Jiuyi and said: "Your Majesty, there was a bloody case in the suburbs of Beijing the night before, and the scene of the crime found the bodies of five people from Qu Guogong and the internal guards around him, and more than a dozen people from the Southern Army were captured at the scene, and the Southern Army confessed that Qu Guogong died at the hands of the Ming Wangfu. The minister, please pass on the Southern Army, Chu Ruocai, to come forward to testify! “
"Southern Army" Lao Jiu's eyes flashed, staring at King De, only to see King De nodding slightly.
Lao Jiu raised his eyes to look at Chu Ruocai, who was standing at the back, but saw Chu Ruocai bowing to him, and there seemed to be a strange meaning in his eyes.
"It can't be!" At this time, Zhang Bangli on the side suddenly shouted angrily: "How could Qu Guogong be killed by King Ming......
He didn't finish his words, but he only heard King De say lightly: "If General Zhang doesn't believe it, he can confront the Southern Army, why is he so excited that he doesn't even let the Southern Army speak?" ”
"This matter is ridiculous at all, what else is there to say......" Zhang Bangli was immediately furious, but halfway through speaking, his face suddenly turned pale, and he suddenly turned around and looked at Chu Ruocai.
His reaction stunned everyone, but then, someone seemed to think of something, and his face began to change.
The temple began to exchange heads.
There was a faint voice that was very low: "King Ming is not good, even if the Southern Army can't testify that he killed Qu Guogong, standing up is tantamount to publicly expressing support for His Majesty to kill King Ming, Daomen has retreated, if the Southern Army and the warlord don't support King Ming......"
Lao Jiu is actually a very smart person, seeing Zhang Bangli's reaction, and then carefully pondering King De's sentence "Let the Southern Army speak".
He reacted immediately, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
But at this moment, I saw King Ming, who had been calm, obviously changed his expression at this moment.
He stepped out, staring at Lao Jiu, then at King De, and finally at Chu Ruocai, and suddenly, a murderous aura erupted on his body.
In an instant, the figure of a real person appeared in front of Lao Jiu, and his eyes fell on Mo Bai.
"What do you want to do?" Lao Jiu's voice came.
The real person turned his figure slightly sideways, and then looked at King Ming, Mo Bai was silent for a long time, and suddenly regained his composure, and said, "Your Majesty, good means!" Isn't it ridiculous to just let the Southern Army identify me as having killed Qu Guogong? When will the rebel ministers of the national dynasty be sentenced to enter the court and provoke my monarch and ministers? ”
"Whether it's provocative or not, listen to him, won't you know?" Lao Jiu calmed down at this time.
Mo Bai bowed his head slightly, and then looked at King De and said, "It's okay, this king has heard of referring to a deer as a horse, but he has never seen it." Open your eyes today and see what you can do. But you remember, if you can't plant the death of Qu Guogong on the head of this king, then your head will be wanted by this king. ”
"Presumptuous...... Lao Jiu of course wanted to support King De, but he only heard him shout angrily.
But he didn't want to be calm all the time, but his murderous aura suddenly rose again, Huo Ran turned around, not at Lao Jiu, but at the six people of Yuqing, and shouted: "Yuqing, Taiqing, Lianfang Menggu, do you really dare to oppose this king?" ”
The six people of Yuqing were suddenly shocked, and the head of the Gu family swept the pale queen mother who was sitting on it out of the corner of his eye, and finally gritted his teeth and bowed to King Ming: "The Gu family respects King Ming!" ”
As soon as he saw his movement, Fang Meng also glanced at each other: "Even Fang Meng is the king of Ming!" ”
The four families have expressed their position, what else can Yuqing and Taiqing do, they can only salute: "Yuqing Mountain, Taiqing Mountain to Ming Wangzun!" ”
The sect masters of the Daomen could only salute in unison: "The Daomen is the king of Ming!" ”
Lao Jiu's eyes suddenly flashed with murderous intent, but the ministers who went to the palace watched King Ming's heart beat wildly, and just a word made Daomen have to bow down again.
Mo Bai turned around and looked at King De coldly, and King De's face was already a little pale.
Mo Bai just sneered, didn't say anything more, and turned to look at Chu Ruocai, who had already stepped forward, and the threat in his voice was undisguised: "Chu Ruocai, this king is no longer down, and it's not something like you can bully, there are some things you better think about clearly." ”
At this time, in his eyes, the more King Ming was like this, it meant that he was finally afraid, so he strengthened his majesty and wanted to deter the ministers.
Lao Jiu's eyes also looked at Chu Ruocai at the same time, fearing that he would be shocked by King Ming, and hurriedly said: "On this Golden Palace, if I let you speak, no one will be able to stop you!" ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" When Chu Ruocai heard this, he immediately bowed down, and then slowly stepped forward.
