After being stunned by the news of Tuobajian's death, someone among the ministers finally reacted, knelt on the ground and cried: "Your Majesty ······"

Subsequently, all the ministers of civil and military affairs knelt on the ground in pain, but how many of them were really crying and how many were fake crying, probably only they themselves know.

Empress Dowager Dou and other ministers cried for a while, cleared their throats and shouted: "All the kings should get up first, Your Majesty has died, and the mourning family is very sad like the princes, but the country can't be without a king for a day!" His Majesty has four sons under his knees, only the prince born to Concubine Yi is the oldest, and the mourning family thinks that the emperor should inherit the unification, I don't know what Zhu Qing thinks? ”

Tuoba Jian's descendants and ministers all shouted: "It should be so, the ministers are willing to serve the emperor as the emperor!" ”

But soon there were also people who objected, and the palace Shangshu Ba Thirsty Hou stood up and said loudly: "Queen Mother, the minister thinks it's inappropriate!" Huang Ziren is too young to manage the government, and now my Great Wei is surrounded by strong enemies, if Huang Ziren is allowed to inherit the unification, how to lead the Manchu Dynasty to resist the prying eyes and attacks of the surrounding enemy countries? ”

Some ministers raised objections to the words of the Marquis of Baba: "The lower officials do not agree with the words of the Shangshu in the palace, who said that the prince cannot inherit the throne at a young age?" Isn't there an emperor in history who inherited the unification at a young age? Are they doing a good job? ”

Someone else stood up in support: "That's right, although Huang Ziren is young, as long as he ascends the throne as the emperor, our courtiers should do our best to assist, are we all eating dry food, and can't we assist Huang Ziren into a real emperor, or maybe the palace Shangshu himself does not recognize his talent?" ”

"Ahem!" Someone coughed and stood up, and the ministers saw that it was Hongluqing Li Ji, only to see him stand up and say: "This official thinks that the meaning of Shangshu in the palace is not that you think that your colleagues are not capable of assisting Wang Ziren, now that Concubine Yi is gone, Huang Ziren has no mother, and he is too young······"

Zong Ai interrupted Li Ji without waiting for him to finish speaking: "Li Honglu is worried too much, isn't there still Empress Dowager Bao?" The Empress Dowager not only raised Emperor Taiwu, but also presided over harem affairs during the reign of the first emperor, and won the respect of two generations of emperors. ”

Some ministers stood up and said: "We are worried that the young prince Ziren will succeed to the throne and be easily manipulated by the ministers, which will be unfavorable to the country and Ming!" For the sake of the Great Wei Jiangshan Society, it is recommended that His Majesty's brother inherit the throne! ”

Zong Ai laughed angrily: "What a joke, won't His Majesty's brother be manipulated by the ministers?" A talented emperor can sit firmly even if he is young, and a person without virtue and talent will only be angry and resentful even if he is old enough to sit on the throne! Look at Tuoba Fan's example, it is bold to sneak into the inner palace in the middle of the night to have a private meeting with Concubine Yi, if such a person inherits the throne, won't the subjects of the world laugh at the royal family? ”

One by one, the officials who opposed it just now were scolded and embarrassed, and they each retreated.

But there are still people who stand up against it, "King Le'an is just that, there is always one of the two princes who can inherit the throne, King Jianning and King Xinxing, right?" ”

"The emerging king? Hahaha······ Do you ask him if he is embarrassed to inherit the throne? robbed people's daughters and committed adultery all day long, which law of my Great Wei has he not committed? If it hadn't been for the first emperor's protection, he would have been killed a long time ago! Zong Ai loudly rebuked and belittled.

Tuoba Jun was said by Zong Ai to be useless and heinous, and he was immediately annoyed and angry, and stood up and said angrily: "Zong Ai, this king admits that he is not very disciplined on weekdays and is not qualified to inherit the throne, but you don't need to humiliate this king so much, right?" This king has no deep hatred for you! ”

Zong Ai immediately changed his face and smiled: "Oh, if the prince says so, the slave maid has apologized to the prince!" ”

"Humph!" Tuoba Jun snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and walked back to his original position.

Someone jumped out and said: "Okay, even if King Xinxing is not qualified to inherit the throne because of his words and deeds on weekdays, what about King Jianning?" King Jianning has fought with Emperor Taiwu many times, and he is humble and generous, and he is an excellent candidate for the succession to the throne! ”

This official mentioned King Jianning, and many eyes moved to Tuoba Chong, and he had to stand up and clasp his fists to the ministers and say: "As one of the heirs to the throne, as a party concerned, it is better not to express his opinion in order to avoid suspicion!" ”

Immediately, an official stood up and said: "Lord Wang, why are you too humble, now that Your Majesty has passed away, you are the most suitable heir to the throne, and the lower officials feel that you should stand up and have the courage to take responsibility!" ”

"It's not good, it's not good, although the imperial brother has died, but it's not that he has no heirs, why should he have a brother?" Tuoba Chong shook his head, he only said that it was inappropriate for his brother to be his brother, but he did not give up his will to inherit the throne.

His supporters immediately said: "It is not without precedent for the elder brother to die in this dynasty, the throne of the first emperor was obtained by the elder brother and the elder brother, and now that the former emperor has died, it is appropriate for the prince to inherit the throne!" ”

Zong Ai immediately reprimanded: "It's just nonsense, the first emperor ascended the throne as the emperor in Mobei at that time because Emperor Taiwu died suddenly, it was forced by the situation, and he had to provoke the beam, but now the situation is different from the beginning, our family thinks that the prince is smart and clever since he was a child, respects his teacher, is quite filial, and will be able to become a generation of Ming Jun when he grows up, and he is the eldest son of the first emperor, and he is the best candidate for the throne, if anyone is against it, it is ulterior motives!" ”

One of the ministers of the clan stood up and said, "That······ The candidate for the throne, why don't we think about it in the long run? ”

Of course, Zong Ai can't let this matter drag on, the longer it drags on, the worse it gets, "No, the country can't be left without an owner for a day, this matter must have a result before dawn!" ”

Tuoba Chong said in a deep voice: "The succession to the throne is the biggest thing in the world, how can it be decided so hastily? ”

"Why is it sloppy? It has always been the death of the father and the succession of the son, do you want to tamper with the ancestral system? ”

The thirsty marquis was a little impatient, he was the secretary of the palace, the supreme commander of the palace guards, and the guards in the palace were nominally under his command, he waved his hand and said loudly: "I said no, it is not good, for the livelihood of the world, I will recommend King Jianning to the throne as the emperor!" ”

Immediately, many ministers stood up one by one in support: "Agreed!" ”

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

Zong Ai's face changed, and he pointed at these ministers and scolded angrily: "You ······ Do you want to rebel? ”

"Rebellion? Hahaha······ Is it worth rebelling? Even if it's a rebellion? Who else is qualified to sit on this throne besides this king? "Tuoba Chong decided not to do anything, with the support of the Shangshu in the palace, the Marquis of Baba, and the armed forces of the entire palace are in his hands, what is he afraid of?

Empress Dowager Bao's face turned a little pale, watching Tuoba Chong walk towards His Majesty Dan step by step, she took a few steps back one after another, and almost sat on the throne.

Zong Ai trembled, handed Huang Ziren to Jia Zhou, and pointed at Tuoba Chong: "You······ Tuoba admires you for being presumptuous, you dare to be disrespectful to the Queen Mother! ”

Dou Shi froze, looked at Tuoba Chong, who came step by step, and said, "Mourning family······ The mourning family decided to canonize Huang Ziren as the emperor! Come, put the new emperor on the throne! ”

Jia Zhou immediately ran to the throne with Huang Ziren in his arms, put him on the throne and sat down.

Tuoba Chong's face changed greatly, and he shouted: "The thief dares!" ”

Dou pointed at Tuoba Chong and shouted: "The new emperor's decree, the edict orders the loyal ministers and good generals to take down the traitors led by Tuoba Chong!" ”

Several armor soldiers on both sides immediately rushed up and drew their swords to block Tuoba Chong.

Tuoba Chong stopped and shouted: "Pull out the thirsty marquis!" ”

"Yes!" The thirsty marquis agreed, and shouted to the outside of the palace: "Where is the armor outside the palace?" ”

Outside the hall, a large number of guards rushed in with swords and spears, and the civil and military ministers retreated in fright, lest the sword hurt the innocent without eyes.

Baba Thirsty Hou raised his hand and pointed at Zong Ai, Empress Dowager Bao, Jia Zhou and others: "Take it!" ”

"Command!" One of the generals agreed, and their hands rose and fell.

The head of the thirsty marquis rolled to the ground on the spot, and the ministers saw it and exclaimed: "Ah-"

What's going on? How did the man who pulled out the thirsty marquis kill him as a boss?

But when he saw this slashing general, he turned around and said loudly: "The thirsty marquis is plotting rebellion, and the crime of usurping the throne deserves death, and all the soldiers will follow me to escort and take down the traitor's henchmen, protect the new emperor, the queen mother and the Zhongcao prison!" ”

On the spot, a large number of guards and armorers defected, and when the ministers saw it, it turned out that this building would be Sanlang and would be six lonely and beautiful.

"Put down your weapons and surrender to avoid death!"

"Put it down!"

The henchmen of the thirsty marquis were terrified and panicked one by one, but soon some people were afraid of dropping their weapons, and the others saw that someone took the lead in dropping their weapons, and if they did not drop their weapons, they were afraid that they would be killed, so they all threw down their weapons and surrendered.

Tuoba Chong was still struggling to resist, and several armor soldiers fought with him, and Buliu Guli immediately rushed over with the armor soldiers to surround him with his own eyes.

After killing several armorers, Tuoba Chong was loyal and unable to hold on, and was cut by one of the armorers, and his sword fell to the ground, and all the armorers rushed up and pressed him to the ground.

The overall situation was decided, Zong Ai walked over and waved his hand, and the armor soldiers put Tuoba Chong's arm on his hand to control his movements.

Zong Ai looked down, bent down and picked up a sharp sword from the ground, walked up to Tuoba Chong and said: "Brother First Emperor and Brother Last Brother and that was a last resort under special circumstances, and now you want to follow suit, our family sees you as wishful thinking!" ”

"Whew!" Tuoba Chong spat and scolded Zong Ai in the face, "Zong Ai dog thief, if you kill this king, you eggless thing, do you think you want to support Xiao'er to sit on the throne?" Dream! ”

Zong Ai didn't speak, and suddenly a sword stabbed into Tuoba Chong's chest.

"You ······" Tuoba Chong never thought that Zong Ai, the eunuch, would have the courage to kill him, and he did it himself!

"Ah-" The ministers exclaimed in fright one by one, this is the prince, a eunuch said to kill him? If you want to kill the prince, you must at least have the emperor's order, right?

At this time, a soldier walked in quickly and reported: "Report - King Le'an hanged himself in prison!" ”

"Oh? Hanged? It seems that he also knows shame, and he must have hanged himself when he was found out about the ugly thing, but it's a pity, if he dies, he will die, just find a place to bury it! Zong Ai waved his hand.

Everyone in the hall only felt a chill surging up and down, this love was too ruthless, hanging? The ghost believed that Tuoba Fan was hanged, and the dead eunuch was too vicious, and killed the two princes with one face.

Zong Ai smiled at this time and looked at the ministers who were scared like quails and asked, "Everyone, the Queen Mother wants to make Huang Ziren the emperor, but there are still people who oppose it?" ”
