Zhang Lingyang just sat down on the dragon chair, and there were ministers below.

"Zhao Ji, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, has a book!"

"Bring it on!"

Zhang Lingyang spoke, and Sun Sheng on the side went down to fetch Zhao Ji's recital and presented it to Zhang Lingyang.

Zhang Lingyang picked up the fold and didn't look at the content inside, but looked directly at Zhao Ji and asked, "What does Zhao Aiqing want to report?" ”

Zhao Ji replied: "Your Majesty, the ministers heard that Emperor Mingzong favored Li Guifei in the past, so he named Li Guifei's father Nanlebo, which was opposed by the ministers. Emperor Mingzong was as good as a stream, and deprived Li Guifei of his father's title, and eventually became a generation of Ming monarchs. ”

"Now, Wang Guowei has not made an inch, but His Majesty wants to restore the Duke of his country, and the minister thinks that His Majesty's behavior is not the work of Ming Jun. Therefore, I beg Your Majesty to retract your order and regain the title of Duke of the Kingdom of Weiguo! ”

Zhang Lingyang said disapprerovitically: "Zhao Aiqing's words seem polite, but they are ridiculous. Li Guifei's father had no official and no knight, so it was against the ancestral teachings for Emperor Mingzong to make her a knight. ”

"But Wang Guowei is different, Wang Guowei is originally the duke of the country, but because he made some small mistakes, I demoted his title to set an example. Now, the kingdom knows that the mistake can be corrected, and I restore the title of duke of the kingdom as a sign of affirmation, so what's wrong? ”

Zhao Ji retorted: "Emperor Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty has taught that those who do not have military merits cannot be knighted or promoted. Therefore, no matter what mistake Wang Guowei made before and was demoted by His Majesty, unless he made military achievements, Wang Guowei's title could not be promoted, please Your Majesty Mingjian! ”

"Huh!" Zhang Lingyang sneered and said, "What if I insist on this? ”

Zhao Ji knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Please forgive the Ministry of Rites for not being able to give an edict!" ”

The Ministry of Rites is not only responsible for the imperial examinations, ceremonies, and the reception of foreign guests, but also for presiding over the canonization ceremonies of clan relatives and nobles.

In other words, if the Ministry of Rites does not obey the edict, then even if Zhang Lingyang issues a holy decree, Wang Guowei's title of Duke of the Kingdom will be indecent.

"You ......" pointed at Zhao Ji, Zhang Lingyang didn't know whether to be angry or laugh, "You are very good!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment!"

Zhao Ji's thank you completely angered Zhang Lingyang.

Pointing at Zhao Ji, Zhang Lingyang roared loudly: "Get out of here, how far away is it, I don't want to see you again!" ”

"Obey the order!" Zhao Ji bowed to Zhang Lingyang again, and then got up to leave the Taihe Hall and walked out of the palace in a dashing manner.

Looking at Zhao Ji's back, Zhang Lingyang gasped for breath.

Zhang Lingyang was very angry, and the cold was already a little heavier, so he couldn't help coughing violently at this time.

After a few coughs, Zhang Lingyang only felt that he was dizzy, his eyes were full of stars, and he couldn't help but stumble under his feet.

Seeing this, Sun Sheng was anxious to step forward to help, but was pushed away by Zhang Lingyang.

Seeing this, Sun Sheng hurriedly went down to bring a cup of tea.

Zhang Lingyang took a sip and put it down, then looked at the minister in the hall and said, "Do you have anything else to play?" ”

At this time, Zhang Lingyang's throat was already a little hoarse.

At this time, Shen Chao, the imperial history of the right capital, walked out of the queue and said: "Your Majesty, Shen Chao, the imperial history of the right capital of the minister, Shen Chao has something to play!" ”

"Tell me about it!" Zhang Lingyang was extremely uncomfortable at this time, but he still held on.

Shen Chao opened his mouth and said: "Back to Your Majesty, Weichen browsed the history books some time ago and found that anyone who is a Ming monarch and a holy lord can be a pro-virtuous minister and a far villain, and he knows people well and changes them when he knows his mistakes. ”

"And all those who faint from the king, who are more pro-villain, far-reaching virtuous ministers, do things absurdly, and do not listen to the advice of loyal ministers, they all end up in a miserable end."

"Just like Emperor Huanzong of the previous dynasty, during his reign, he favored eunuchs and reused slanderous ministers, and many loyal ministers and righteous people in the court were expelled from the court, which finally led to chaos in the world, and Emperor Huanzong finally ended up with a dead body and a country destroyed."

"Now, Your Majesty is drowning in the harem women, sleeping among the flowers and willows outside the palace, believing in Sun Sheng, Feng Xi, eunuchs and others, happy to be in the absurd and unruly things, ignoring state affairs, and absurd government affairs in front of the court......"

"Enough!" On the dragon chair, Zhang Lingyang's eyes were red when he heard this, he stood up and stared at Shen Chao viciously and said, "I didn't know that in your Shen Chao's eyes, I was already an out-and-out faint king!" ”

Shen Chao below replied neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Back to Your Majesty, according to Your Majesty's previous behavior, there is no doubt that he is a faint king!" ”

"However, as long as Your Majesty orders the killing of Sun Sheng, Feng Xi and other eunuchs, and listens to the advice of the courtiers, you will definitely be able to become a generation of Ming monarchs."

"Huh!" Zhang Lingyang sneered and said: "Is it that as long as you listen to your Shen Chao, you will be Mingjun, and if you don't listen to you, you will be a faint monarch!" ”

"Don't dare!" Seeing Zhang Lingyang say this, Shen Chao still replied coldly.

Seeing Shen Chao's appearance, Zhang Lingyang was angry in his heart and said, "Don't you dare? I see how dare you! Is it in the eyes of you, Lord Shen, that I have to do everything according to your wishes, otherwise I will become a debaucherous and unscrupulous king! Look, you can sit on this dragon chair! ”

"Panic!" Zhang Lingyang's words were a little heartbreaking, so frightened that Shen Chao hurriedly knelt down, buried his head deep in the ground and didn't dare to raise it.

"Your Majesty!"

At this time, another imperial history came out of the queue and said: "Although Shen Yushi offended His Majesty in words, Shen Yushi's words and deeds are all for the sake of the Great Zhou Dynasty!" For the sake of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Weichen implored His Majesty to issue an order to kill Sun Sheng, Feng Xi and other eunuchs, and purge the dynasty! ”

"The minister also agrees with Shen Yushi's words, and implores His Majesty to issue an order to kill Sun Sheng, Feng Xi and other eunuchs, and purge the dynasty!"

"Please give an order to the eunuch of Zhushan ......"

……

After a while, the hall was full of admonishing ministers.

Sun Sheng felt that he was very unreasonable, he did not guide the emperor to do anything ridiculous, nor did he point fingers in state affairs, why did he suddenly become a traitor?

Sun Sheng couldn't figure it out, but looking at the current trend, if the emperor didn't kill himself, then today's things would not be good.

Therefore, Sun Sheng's face was full of innocence, and he knelt down in front of Zhang Lingyang, his eyes full of begging.

"You ...... You're forcing the palace to ......."

Pointing to the minister kneeling on the ground, Zhang Lingyang trembled, his chest rose and fell, and he only felt that his head was extremely heavy.

Suddenly, Zhang Lingyang suddenly felt weak and collapsed to the ground.

Seeing this, Sun Sheng, who was kneeling on the ground, hurriedly got up and helped, "Long live Lord, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Quickly pass on the Imperial Doctor!" Sun Sheng shouted.

Seeing that the emperor suddenly fainted, the ministers kneeling on the ground below, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to do.
