Chapter 85: King Yan's Zen Throne

Zhou Tianzi set five years, Yan Wang Hao five years, Jicheng.

Yan Wang glanced at Zizhi in front of him, his smile was still so humble and gentle, with his swaying fat body, and he bowed slightly with indescribable kindness. He looked down again, Lu Maoshou looked upright, and Su Dai's eyes were also full of hope, as if he had seen the resurrection of the sage, but looking back, wouldn't he be a sage if he did this? Since then, under Yao Shun, there is also his own Ji Xu.

"The widow has gathered his ministers today, but there is a great thing to announce." King Yan calmed down and continued: "Ancestor Zhao Gongxiao once followed King Wu of Zhou to crusade against Shang, and he and Duke Zhou held a Yue to protect him, and he had to seal the land of thistle, and there was my Yan Kingdom. Zhao Gong assisted the Son of Heaven left and right, and never sealed the Yan Land, but there was a poem "Gantang", which was passed down to future generations, so that the people did not forget its virtues. It has been more than 800 years since it was passed on. ”

"In the past 800 years, although the Yan Kingdom has been repeatedly invaded by the northern Hu people and the national capital has been destroyed, it has never broken its roots, and has always protected the north for the Son of Heaven to resist the Waihu. The fierce men of the Yan Kingdom should be a model for you and my monarchs and ministers to follow. ”

"However, since the king of Ping moved eastward, the three families were divided, the world's etiquette collapsed, the position of the Son of Heaven was not correct, and the princes rose together, in order to protect the Son of Heaven, Yan Guo also had to be called the king to crusade for the Son of Heaven and help the land of the Great Zhou."

"However, now that all countries are dominant, only my Yan country lives in a corner and cannot stretch the land. Fortunately, with the protection of God, there is the assistance of the Xiangbangzi, and now the Yan Kingdom is peaceful and prosperous, the people are harmonious, and the credit of the Xiangbang is great! ”

Yan Wang said this, everyone's eyes looked at Zizhi, but he couldn't say anything, after all, Zizhi is indeed outstanding in government affairs, and Yan Wang's evaluation of him is not too much. But to others, the phrase is particularly harsh.

For example, Prince Ji Ping.

"For example, today's situation, the four kingdoms of Qin, Qi, Chu, and Zhao are the most powerful, while the strength of Han, Wei, Zhongshan, Song, and my Yan is not strong. And for my nearest person, Qi and Zhao are not idle people, and Qi is eyeing my Yan country, every time I think of it, the widow can't sleep at night, thinking day and night, I feel that the luck is not good, lest I will not be sacrificed to my Yan country. So the widow decided to ......"

Speaking of this, everyone's hearts were raised to their throats, lest they mishear a word in the next second, although many people in the hall already knew that King Yan was about to announce a shocking news, but when the matter came, anyone wanted to personally confirm this matter from the mouth of the person concerned.

The crown prince Ji Ping had a gloomy face, looking at Yan Wang, he also knew what would happen next, but until the last moment, he seemed to be quite unwilling. Standing behind him was the general who had just returned from South Korea, and when he saw Ji Ping's appearance, it seemed that he was going to choose someone to devour in the next second. He also sweated in his palms, and he knew what the news represented.

Yan Wang Hao seemed to be taken aback by the solemn atmosphere in the main hall, but he didn't seem to realize what mistake he was about to make, he looked at Ji Ping, and then at Zizhi, who gave him a smile like encouragement, and finally he mustered up his courage and said in a gentle tone: "The widow has decided to give up the position of King Yan to Xiangbang Zizhi." ”

"Father, son-in-law opposes!" Ji Ping finally couldn't bear it anymore, and said: "Father just said that the Sheji of Dayan has been passed down for more than 800 years, although the ancestor Zhaogong has not been to the fiefdom in person, but his virtue is respected by the world, which is also the foundation of my Yan country. ”

"Father today, but he wants to give way to Xiangbang. Forgive Erchen bluntly, the credit of Xiangbang is incomparable in Yan Kingdom, but the monarch and the minister are different, and the top and bottom are orderly, which is the foundation of "Zhou Li". If the father thinks that the credit of Xiangbang is too great, he can open up a fiefdom, and he must not do anything to make concessions. What's more, how can the state of a country be touched by others? ”

Everyone nodded secretly when they heard this, and they all felt that Yan Wang's behavior was too funny, indeed since Xia Qi seized the position of Boyi and became King Xia, it seems that he has never heard of it again, who has King Yan been bewitched, and he still wants to implement the Zen concession system?

Everyone whispered, although Zizhi was silent, but he was indeed a little anxious in his heart. Although he has the power to favor Yan Kingdom, it is just a matter of one sentence to replace King Yan, and even if he takes over the throne in a hurry at this moment, it is estimated that except for the crown prince, no one else dares to object.

But things in the world are so strange, the more you are weak, the more you want to be right. What Zizhi hoped to obtain was not an empty title of King Yan, but the submission of an entire country, the canonization of Zhou Tianzi, and the recognition of various princes. Therefore, the more smoothly this title is obtained, the more it appears that his actions are legal and in line with the mood of the people of Yan Kingdom. Only in this way can it be more likely that other princes will recognize it.

But the reality is cruel, the more you don't want to get something, the more you come.

Su Dai saw that the more the ministers discussed, the more he felt that the prince's words were reasonable, and he became more and more uneasy, to be honest, in his opinion, this is a matter of Yan Wang and Zizhi's affection, and the parties concerned have no objections, why should others have opinions? Of course, this is indeed very unacceptable, but it is difficult to accept, and it does not mean that it is unreasonable.

"The prince's words, I don't dare to agree." Su Dai came out of the ranks, looked at the prince, and replied with a smile: "The prince's so-called foundation of a state, not allowing others to touch it, is a narrow language. Thinking of the ancient times, Yao Shun was called virtuous with Zen, wouldn't he be a minister with a state? And for thousands of years, the world has praised it, but King Xia Qi conquered Boyi to obtain the throne, no one praised him, dare to ask the prince, is the world not divided between black and white, virtuous and foolish? ”

Su Dai really deserves to be Su Qin's brother, and his ability to suppress people with power is not bad, so much so that he was speechless when he refuted the crown prince Ji Ping. When the city was seen this, he couldn't help but say: "King, the matter of Zen concession is a major matter of the state and the country, and it should not be said lightly." The king is the king of the Yan Kingdom, and the crown prince is also the successor of the Yan Kingdom, so this matter should be discussed by all the ministers and must not be decided privately. ”

As soon as King Yan wanted to answer, he heard Su Dai say first: "The king is the king of the Yan Kingdom, but the crown prince is not the heir of the Yan Kingdom. To say something offensive to the prince, the prince of today may not be the king of his day. And the king is the only ruler of the Yan Kingdom today. ”

"The king just said that his desire for the Zen position was just for the continuation of the society of the Yan Kingdom and the thoughtfulness of Zhou Tianzi, and he felt that his strength was not enough, not for a moment, so he did the act of Zen. Besides, the king is still in the prime of life, and whatever he thinks and thinks, he will definitely not be bewitched by others. What does the general mean that this is a private act? ”

"If it is not a private act, there is nothing that you don't know. It can be seen that this is a matter of the son and your Su Dai. This will cut off your head, shake your lips and tongue, and regenerate the incident. As he spoke, Ji Ping pulled out the sword at his waist and slashed at Su Dai.

Su Dai saw that Ji Ping was about to kill himself in front of King Yan, so he hurriedly dodged, thinking that he was not in a high position, and he was going to be splashed with blood on the spot, which was really inappropriate. Quickly hid behind Zi Qi, Zi Qi didn't dodge, dodged Ji Ping's sword, held his hand holding the sword, and persuaded: "The prince has collected his anger, why don't you listen to the king?" ”

Ji Ping saw that it was the sub-period, and he was even more angry, thinking that he was full of resentment towards Zizhi, but his younger brother came up to obstruct him again, and he was not polite, he took back the sword and poked it towards Su Dai, thinking that if this sword could hurt the sub-period, or simply kill Zizhi, wouldn't it be good to just do this.

"Nonsense!" King Yan finally couldn't help but shout, at this moment, he finally found his prestige as King Yan, "The prince doesn't want to say anything more, this matter is a deliberate decision of the widow, and it will definitely not be changed." ”

King Yan said this, no matter how much the ministers have ideas, it is difficult to say anything else.

"Father, are you just watching the heroic spirit of the ancestors of the Yan Kingdom being moved to another place in the Pan Palace?"

When he arrived here, the protagonist of Zizhi finally came out slowly, he waved his sleeves, cleaned up his makeup, and calmly saluted King Yan, and then turned to face everyone, and said emotionally: "The king wants to entrust the affairs of Yan Kingdom to the next, and when he hears it, he is also trembling, like walking on thin ice." First, I am afraid that the ministers will not understand, and second, I am worried that I will not be able to do it. It was to excuse several times, and the king did not allow it, so that today's things could have happened. ”

"Today, when the king brings up this matter again, he must have thought it through. If you reject the king again, it should not be done by a human minister. ”

Zizhi's sentence is quite funny, rejecting the kindness of King Yan, it is not the work of the ministers, is it the act of the ministers to respond to the position of this Zen concession. But the ministers of the Yan Kingdom were also dumb and didn't dare to speak. Only Ji Ping and Shifu looked at Zizhi, their eyes were full of resentment.

"However, what he did today was for the sake of the king, the day of the revival of the kingdom of Yan, and the time when the son returned to the throne. Besides, it can be said here that if during his reign, he acted excessively towards the king, or insulted the Yan Kingdom as an ancestor, the king could immediately regain the throne, and the son would never dare to push it back! ”

Having said that, all efforts have come to naught. Ji Ping looked at the top of the main hall, King Yan knelt there, held the seal letter representing the identity of King Yan with both hands, and handed it to Zizhi who was kneeling in front of him. Zizhi took the seal letter with great importance, and from that moment on, he became the king of Yan Kingdom. And Yan Wang, looking at the seal letter handed over to Zizhi's body, suddenly felt a lightness on his body, as if he felt that something was missing. What's missing? He looked behind him, as if there was nothing?

"The king? King? Su Dai stood next to King Yan and whispered.

"Huh?" King Yan looked at Su Dai blankly.

"Please leave the throne and meet the new king." Su Dai said helplessly, this, you won't forget what happened.

"Oh." King Yan nodded, stood up in a daze, and walked down step by step, without the support of the palace people, and without the help of the eunuchs, he slowly walked down the hall, and seemed to be a little depressed. He didn't even look at Ji Ping, kneeling there slightly awkwardly. This action, in addition to meeting the Son of Heaven and worshipping the ancestors, this is the third person he has visited.

Zizhi is familiar with the car, and it seems that this set of actions has been practiced for a long time. He walked to the position where he had worshiped for many years, sat down, did not change his clothes, and once again put the seal letter representing King Yan on a few desks, looking at everyone, looking at the person he had worshiped for many years, and often breathed a sigh of relief. It really, really, succeeded.

Now that everyone is in place, the rest of the process will be smooth. Su Dai beckoned everyone to meet the new Yan King, and his face also showed a different kind of excitement. He had reason to be excited, because he was recognized earlier than his clan brother Su Qin, and it can be said that Zizhi's success was even more the success of his Su Dai.

Lu Maoshou, Ziqi and others also looked at Zizhi in the palace, and an indescribable feeling stirred in their chests, this is the era they created, and from now on, they will also be famous in the annals of history.

Whether he can leave his name in the annals of history, the crown prince Ji Ping doesn't know, but he knows that if he is really arrested, when his name is left in the annals of history, he will also be a chaotic minister and thief. He would never allow himself to live in history in that capacity.

He had to do something.
