The court is in chaos, and even though the angry people have dispersed, the people's grievances cannot be ignored. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The emperor dragged his tired body to sit on the dragon chair, no one could see his expression, Bai Xiang stood up first and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is framed at first glance, and it must not be trusted!" ”
Yu Xiang also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, this matter has an extremely bad impact on the people, no matter whether this matter is true or not, it must be strictly investigated before you can give an explanation to the world!" ”
The emperor didn't speak, the noisy crowd gradually quieted down, the emperor opened his cloudy eyes and looked at the civil and military officials standing in the court, and said slowly: "It has been forty-five years since I ascended the throne, and I was taught by my father when I was young that if the kings and subjects of the world are united, the empire will be prosperous!" When I reached middle age, Li Xiang once told me that there are many corrupt ministers, and if you want the empire to be prosperous, you need to kill corrupt officials! When I was old, I realized that what my father said was reasonable, and what Li Xiang said was even more beautiful! Now that you are discussing the fault of my emperor, are you really for the sake of those women who died unjustly? Are you really here to petition for the people? You tell me that you are not greedy, and you are not a party for personal gain! The last sentence of the Emperor widened his eyes and roared.
"The minister is guilty!" The hall was full of people on their knees.
The emperor wanted to get up, Ji Abor was about to step forward to support the emperor, but was pushed away by the emperor, the emperor's body shook a little, but he gradually straightened his back, and roared: "Over the years, my body has been getting worse day by day, you have been blind in my eyes, and you have been deaf in my ears!" You dare to do what you didn't dare to do before, do you really think that I don't dare to destroy the Nine Clans? ”
The foreheads of the ministers were all covered with cold sweat, and even Bai Xiang and Yu Xiang were all terrified, only to hear the emperor sneer and say: "Pass on my order, thoroughly investigate the three princes, if you are guilty, you will be dealt with according to the laws of the Han Empire, and you don't need to ask me, but if someone dares to take the opportunity to stir up a relationship and frame others, they will be punished according to the same crime!" ”
The eunuch with pen and paper immediately wrote it down very quickly.
The Emperor looked at them and said: "The empire has been inherited for a hundred years, and in my hands, I have failed to carry forward the foundation of my ancestors, and I should be a sinner, but I will never allow the foundation of my ancestors to regenerate after I return to heaven. Someone! Dragged out the book of the Ministry of Rites, Qu Yuzhen asked himself if it was good to take you, but you sold weapons to others, and your crime should be punished, but in the memory of your father's diligent life, I only blame you! Take it down! ”
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, wronged, wronged!" Qu Wei wailed and cried but it was useless, because Xue Xiangyu had a conflict with Wu You on Yunlong Street, but he didn't expect this to happen now
The Emperor looked at the official Shangshu again and said, "Xu Daoming, have you ever remembered what you said to me at the beginning!" ”
Xu Daoming suddenly cried and shouted: "Elect the Qing official as the pillar of the dynasty and do your best for the empire!" ”
"Did you do what you promised? Nepotism, unscrupulous means, come to someone, take it out! The Emperor said angrily.
The two soldiers immediately walked in and took him away, Xu Daoming had even forgotten to cry, the emperor rubbed his brows and said, "I'm tired..."
Ji Abel walked quickly to the emperor's side and sent an internal force to the emperor, the emperor's face suddenly flushed, and continued: "I'm tired, but I can't die, I can't watch you destroy this country!" The Xiongnu offended the border from time to time, the Goguryeo Wa Kingdom had wolf ambitions, and the border pilgrim country harbored evil intentions, and you, you are still fighting for rights, and you are still trying your best for status, Du Yuanzhong, the head of the household department, why did you stand by and watch the influx of refugees from Huating County, are my people so worthless in your eyes? Get him out of here! ”
"Your Majesty spares your life!"
Bai Xiang felt that his body was getting colder and colder, he suddenly understood, understood that he had fallen into a trap, a trap carefully set by the emperor, and also understood why the emperor had not passed on the true intention of the throne, listening to the emperor call one name after another, only then did he know the terrible thing about the emperor's scheming, and he kept smiling bitterly in his heart, but he couldn't do anything, and he was prepared for the worst for his end.
Bai Xiang understands, Yu Xiang also understands, but Yu Xiang is not worried, Yu Guang looked at Bai Xiang not far away beside him, and sighed secretly, the old man was a little anxious this time.
The ministers of the court were originally densely packed together, but now they are missing a piece in the east and a piece in the west, and when the emperor said the name of Bai Xiang, everyone breathed a deep sigh, and then they realized that their clothes were all wet.
"I am like a sibling to Bai Xiang, Bai Wenju, you are guilty!" The Emperor looked at Bai Xiang fixedly.
Bai Xiang also fell down, took off his official hat and lay on the ground and said: "The criminal... Convicted! ”
The emperor looked at Bai Xiang's eyes full of murderous aura, but gradually reined in, and said in a deep voice: "Come on, hand it over to Dali Temple to thoroughly investigate Bai Wenju... Embezzlement! ”
Bai Xiang was stunned for a moment, and then the old tears were rampant, and he kowtowed his head fiercely and said: "The criminal knows that he is guilty, and he is ashamed of his love for His Majesty, and the criminal is grateful to death!" "Then rush to the pillar on the side and kill him directly!
The Emperor closed his eyes and said slowly, "I... Tired! ”
Ji Abor announced his retirement from the dynasty and helped His Majesty to leave the Xuanwu Palace.
The emperor was lying in the sedan chair, looking at the sky blankly, and suddenly said to Ji Abo: "Aman, what do you say people are pursuing in this life?" ”
Ji Abel didn't know how to answer, but after thinking about it, he said: "What the common people pursue is to have meat for meals, and Your Majesty naturally pursues singing and dancing to promote peace, and the prosperity will last forever!" ”
The Emperor showed a hint of a smile and suddenly said, "Bring Yanzhi back!" ”
Ji Abo's heart trembled, and he immediately received the order.
But it was said that by the river, which was far away from Kyoto, Wu You and Changsun Han stood together, and Changsun Han sighed: "I didn't expect you to have such a hand!" ”
Wu You smiled: "No way, I can't really rush you forward, and you don't like it, it's actually not bad..."
Eldest Sun Han smirked, and then said: "Now the three princes are completely finished, but how do you know that your father doesn't value the three princes so much?" ”
Wu You took a deep breath, saw that the black spots in the river disappeared, and said slowly: "Although the character of the third prince is to Your Majesty, Your Majesty knows that the Han in front of you does not need the same prince as him, but needs two kinds of people more, one is sharp and enterprising, and the other is broad-minded, only these two people can make the gloomy Han Empire have a positive impact, although you are enterprising and open-minded, but you don't have any gate valve support, I am afraid that even a eunuch will look down on you, Then I can only choose from the prince and other princes, in fact, I have always felt that the emperor wants to give the throne to the prince, after all, the young and the young are orderly, who knows... Alas! ”
Even though Eldest Sun Han didn't have much intersection with the crown prince, he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed at the moment, after all, the prince was dead.
Wu You continued: "Actually, I have seen a person at the beginning, this person is the fifth prince, but he is also the dragon and phoenix among the people, if there is not... In fact, he is also a good heir to the throne! ”
Changsun Han nodded and said: "That's true, I knew the fifth brother when I was still stubborn in Kyoto, but I was also impressed by his personality!" ”
Wu You nodded, remembering that the short contact with the five princes was indeed impressive, and then said slowly: "Then, there can only be one person to choose for the throne..."
Changsun Han nodded, let out a long breath and said, "The matter of requesting to leave Beijing has been handed over to my father, and I want to leave here tonight!" Can you come with me? ”
Wu You nodded with a smile, but when he looked at Kyoto, he couldn't help but feel a little melancholy, Uncle Wu used himself, or the emperor used himself, maybe the emperor played such a game of chess when he appeared in Kyoto at night, but there were many variables, although the emperor transferred himself out of Kyoto several times, but he couldn't help but see that the emperor still gave himself a chance, thinking of this, Wu You couldn't help but laugh dumbly: "Okay!" In the future, the rivers and seas will be wide and the birds will fly! (To be continued.) )
