Chapter 602: Arrest the old minister
In the court, Guo Hao and other ministers argued, and after listening to his words, the eighth prince's heart was also a little calmer, and he said: "In the opinion of Lord Guo, this king should immediately increase troops to the Lingnan border now?" ”
"Yes, the king." Guo Hao said: "The Feng army entered Chu, in terms of its movement, it was to attack Chu, and our country should immediately take a series of military strikes against it!" ”
As soon as he said this, Chu Xiang immediately stood up and said, "Great King, King Wenfeng led his army into Chu this time, not with the intention of attacking Chu, but with other intentions. ”
"What do you mean by that?" The eighth prince asked with a frown.
The corners of Chu Xiang's mouth moved, hesitated, first secretly looked at the eighth prince's face, and then said cautiously: "I heard it...... I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is with the Wind King at the moment......"
'Bang'! Before he finished speaking, the eighth prince had already slapped the case in front of him, stood up and pointed at him and shouted, "Prime Minister! ”
He only said two words, but the anger in his tone made Chu Xiang suddenly shrink his neck, and he didn't dare to say anything more.
Now mentioning the crown prince of Chu in front of the eighth prince, the new king of Chu, is definitely a taboo!
At present, knowing that the crown prince is still alive, among the old ministers of Chu State, there are naturally many people who will have some ideas, but the key question is that the eighth prince has already ascended the throne, so what is the use of talking about this! I'm afraid that at this time, who dares to mention anything like welcoming the prince back to the capital, and then the head will be lost!
After seeing Chu Xiang retract back into the train, the eighth prince frowned and waved his hand, and said in an unkind tone: "Today's court discussion, this is the end!" Retreat! ”
After he finished speaking, he walked out of the hall directly, and after the dispersal of the court, the ministers of the Chu State gathered together in twos and threes, and whispered something while walking out.
The people around Guo Hao are naturally some newly promoted sycophants, and beside Chu Xiang, there are several old ministers of the Chu State.
One of them said worriedly: "Prime Minister, today, you shouldn't mention His Royal Highness the Prince, don't you see that the king's face has changed?" ”
When Chu Xiang heard this, he shook his head slightly, and said with a wry smile: "I am the courtier of the first king, and I should respect His Royal Highness the crown prince as the new king of Chu, but now I ......."
"Oh Prime Minister! Silence, silence! Be careful, misfortune comes from the mouth......" Another old minister hurriedly reminded.
Someone else whispered: "Now that the traitor is in charge, look at Guo Hao's appearance, what kind of national plan does he know?" Isn't it the dog leg of the Jade Princess! Also, the demon girl calamitized the country, after the first king was killed, it was rumored that the eighth prince often haunted the Jade Concubine's bedroom, this and this, this is really against human ethics! What's more, the king of a country really hurts the country......"
"Shhhh Be quiet! Someone hurriedly looked left and right.
On their side, a group of old ministers are talking about it, and Guo Hao's side is even more so.
Seeing a group of old ministers of the Chu State whispering there, Guo Hao sneered as he walked. Seeing this, an official who scolded him immediately lowered his eyebrows and said, "Lord Guo, look at those old things, none of them have any good intentions." ”
"That's it!" Another humanitarian: "These guys, relying on the elders of the two dynasties, don't take the king in their eyes, especially Prime Minister Zhang Heng, today's court, even mentioned the outdated prince, isn't this clearly against the king?" In the opinion of the following officials, Lord Guo should also remind the king. ”
When Guo Hao heard this, his eyes flashed, and he nodded slowly, and said, "It makes sense, I'll go and meet the king." ”
As he spoke, he also squinted at Chu Xiang and his gang.
The Jade Concubine's Bedroom.
After receiving the signal from the eighth prince, the attendant quickly lured Guo Hao in. After the latter came in, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and shouted at the eighth prince and the jade concubine: "Weichen see the king, see the mother-"
Without waiting for the eighth prince to speak, Concubine Yu had already covered her mouth and chuckled, and said, "Lord Guo, get up, ask to see you today, is there something wrong?" ”
Guo Hao stood up, and then said with some hesitation: "This, there are indeed some things, but Weichen doesn't know whether to talk about it or not." ”
Seeing him swallowing like this, the eighth prince suddenly frowned slightly, and said impatiently: "Lord Guo, you are the most trusted person of this king, just say anything directly." ”
"Yes." Guo Hao first gave a salute, and then said: "I don't know if the king has noticed that since the news of the former prince came back, those old ministers of Chu have become a little problematic. ”
"Oh!?" Hearing this, the eighth prince's heart suddenly tightened, and he hurriedly urged and asked, "How can you say this, what did Master Guo hear?" ”
Now, it can be said that as long as the Prince of Chu is mentioned, he will become inexplicably nervous, and that is because his throne is not in the right way at all! How could he not be flustered!
Guo Hao said unhurriedly: "Those old ministers, after the next dynasty, gathered together, and had a lot of complaints about the king, and before the king ascended the throne, these guys were very reluctant, but they were forced to support the king as a last resort, but now, the former prince has news, it is conceivable that these guys may have some ideas in their hearts, and the king has to guard against it......"
When the eighth prince heard this, his eyes widened immediately, then he nodded, and said slowly: "It makes sense, it makes sense, it doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense......"
Seeing this, Guo Hao continued: "In addition, those old ministers, but they also have some criticism of Niangniang. ”
"What!? How dare they talk about Hongu!? When Concubine Yu heard this, she immediately frowned and asked, "What did they say!?" ”
"This ......" Guo Hao looked at Concubine Yu cautiously as a difficult situation, and said, "This Weichen doesn't dare to say it." ”
"It doesn't hurt you to say it! This palace forgives you for your innocence! Concubine Yu pointed at him.
"They, they said Niangniang, you are a demon girl, and you will cause trouble ...... the court," Guo Hao said.
"What a guts!" When Concubine Yu heard this, her lungs were about to explode!
Seeing that she was angry, Guo Haona hurriedly knelt on the ground and kept saying: "Niangniang is angry, Niangniang is angry......"
The old ministers in the Chu Dynasty did criticize the Jade Concubine, but only in private, these did not reach Guo Hao's ears, and the reason why Guo Hao was so treacherous was that he naturally had his own ideas, he wanted to harm those old ministers, and then establish his own power in the court.
"Humph!" Concubine Yu snorted coldly, then looked at the eighth prince and said, "These old things! It's time for the king to punish them! Otherwise, once the former prince appears, these guys will inevitably be in chaos! Moreover, the generals in front of him, the king, should also be replaced by his own henchmen. ”
