Chapter 2243: Nine Consecutive Palaces? Another Xuanwu Gate?
Guo Ye looked at Li Daliang like a fool, with a look of disbelief on his face.
He said: "Wuyang County Gong, what do you say? Now that the truth is revealed, the crown prince Li Zhi was wronged, and there was nothing to tease Guo Yulan at all. As for Li You, he was set up by His Majesty, and he couldn't do it at all. None of this is clear to you? ”
Li Daliang smiled slightly and said, "King Qin, you think I'm crazy, right?" But in fact, I'm so good now, and I've never been better. Yes, Li Zhi, the king of Jin, was wronged, but so what? To be deposed is to be deposed, and to be reinstated, unless there is a will of His Majesty. ”
Guo Ye said angrily: "You are using strong words, now that Your Majesty has controlled Bintian, how can you re-establish Li Zhi as the crown prince?" ”
Li Daliang spread his hands and said, "Then there is no way." Without His Majesty's will, he is not a crown prince now, and he can't inherit the throne as a matter of course! ”
Guo Ye took a deep breath and said, "Okay, even if what you say makes some sense." But Li You, the king of Qi, is not a prince, right? Why should everyone support him as the new king? ”
"The King of Qi was canonized as the crown prince by His Majesty, and there is an edict, how can he not do it?"
"But that majesty is obviously a fake! He's still ...... Still ......" was busy working just now, Guo Ye really forgot where the fake Second Majesty Li had gone, so he had to say in a big way: "I am still alive and well in the Jiulian Palace!" ”
"Oh? Is it? Li Daliang pretended to be stupid and said: "That's easy, let's confront him on the spot and see if he made the King of Qi the crown prince, or the real His Majesty made the King of Qi the crown prince?" ”
Guo Ye said angrily: "Isn't this obvious? Still use confronting? ”
Li Daliang said unhurriedly: "It's about the country, and I don't think it's too careful to be careful." King Chitose of Qin, what do you say? ”
"Hmph, if you confront you, you will confront you, I don't believe it, until now, that fake majesty still dares to resist death?"
Of course, Guo Ye's guess is correct, the fake Li Er will indeed not resist death. But here's the problem...... When everyone turned around and found the fake Li Er and Guo Xiaolian, they found that both of them had vomited blood and died, and Feng Ghost was holding Guo Xiaolian's body and crying loudly.
Only now did Guo Ye understand Li Daliang's plan.
Li Daliang has a lot of henchmen, and someone must have reported to him just now.
Guo Ye nodded and sneered: "I understand, you have the idea of fighting without proof." ”
"King Qin should not spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, in fact, I Li Daliang am also deeply saddened by the death of these two people. Now there are some things that you will never be able to figure out, such as ...... When did this thief replace His Majesty? Before or after the crown prince? ”
Guo Ye was depressed and wanted to vomit blood, and said, "You ...... You ......"
Li Daliang suddenly patted his head and said, "I'm sorry! I was wrong just now! Those who know this, in addition to Guo Xiaolian and the fake Majesty, there is also Princess Gaoyang. Shall we just ask her? ”
Princess Gaoyang has been colorless since she was engaged in hair, and when she heard this, she suddenly felt like a dead tree in spring.
She bowed slightly to the ministers and said, "This palace knows that the crime is monstrous, and now it is beyond repentance." If you have anything to ask, just ask, this palace must know everything and say everything, so as to atone for your previous sins. ”
Li Daliang said: "Then may I ask the princess, when did the false majesty replace the real majesty?" ”
"Just now. After his father canonized Prince Wan, the eunuch Niu Yu and others imprisoned him and replaced him with a fake father. ”
"I see." Li Daliang said to the ministers: "Now everyone has heard clearly, the crown prince of King Qi was established by His Majesty Zhen, and he should succeed to the throne." ”
Guo Yedao: "Princess Gaoyang intends to murder His Majesty, the evidence is conclusive, how can her words be accurate?" Are you two in cahoots, singing and harmonizing, trying to take us for fools? You think you can reverse black and white in this way? ”
Li Daliang said: "The only witness now is Princess Gaoyang. If King Qin doesn't believe her, please present evidence. If you only have doubts in your heart, but there is no strong evidence, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the people of the world. ”
Princess Gao Yang said: "This palace is willing to swear to the sky, what I said just now is true!" But there is a half-truth, there are five thunderstorms in the sky! ”
Those present were all human spirits, and of course they would not be deceived by such a simple trick by these two. This matter is obvious, His Majesty Li Er's temperament has changed greatly for a long time, and the replacement of the real emperor by the fake Majesty must have happened a few months ago.
But now the only witness is Princess Gaoyang, and it really can't be shown that everyone is lying to her.
For ordinary witnesses, people can also coerce and induce her to tell the truth. But Princess Gaoyang is the daughter of His Majesty Li Er and the sister of the future emperor no matter what.
Yes, Your Majesty is dead, but it was killed by Qin Qiong. Strictly speaking, it really doesn't have much to do with her.
As for imprisoning His Majesty...... To say that a felony is indeed a felony, but then again, who knows what the new emperor thinks? What if the family is related by blood, and the matter will not be pursued anymore?
Therefore, people really can't use ordinary means.
did not agree with Li Daliang's crooked reasoning, but also could not refute it, and the scene was silent for a while.
After a long time, Kong Yingda coughed lightly and said, "Wuyang County Gong, what happened, in fact, everyone knows it. It really can't be faked, the truth of the matter can't be changed by strong words. Don't make the mistake of wishful thinking. ”
Li Daliang rolled his eyes and said, "Your old man also thinks that Princess Gaoyang's words are false?" ”
"That's nature."
"Okay, then I'll give Kong Shangshu a face. How about everyone taking a half step back? ”
"Half a step? How is it a half-step? ”
Li Daliang said: "I no longer insist that the one who establishes the King of Qi must be His Majesty." But please don't insist that it is a fake, Your Majesty has set up the King of Qi as the crown prince. Let's put this issue aside for the time being. ”
Kong Yingda was puzzled and said: "This question has been put aside, so who will be enthroned as the emperor?" ”
"Li Zhi, the king of Jin, used to be the crown prince and was deposed not long ago. Li You, the king of Qi, was made the crown prince, but everyone didn't know if the person who set him up was the real His Majesty. Then we can think that the two sides are evenly matched in terms of name, and who will ascend the throne can be considered from other aspects. ”
Guo Yedao: "Other aspects? Li Zhinai, the king of Jin, was born to the eldest grandson empress, and His Majesty's son-in-law should succeed to the throne! ”
"That's not the case." Li Daliang shook his head and said, "The biological mother of Li You, the king of Jin, was also named the queen, and it is said that he is also His Majesty's son-in-law. Although he may be slightly inferior to King Jin in terms of color, don't forget, he is older than King Jin, and he should be succeeded by King Jin! ”
"But it's not certain whether the Queen Yin is really set up by Her Majesty?"
Li Daliang said: "Then we can count this issue as a draw, and we can consider other aspects." ”
"What else?"
"Of course, it's your own eyes." Li Daliang ignored Guo Ye, but walked in front of Kong Yingda and said, "Kong Shangshu, today at the ceremony of establishing King Qi as the crown prince, did you salute King Qi?" ”
"Uh...... That's a salute, of course. ”
"After saluting, is it considered that the status of the crown prince is recognized? Admitted that the King of Qi is a half-monarch? ”
"Uh...... Calculate...... Count, right? ”
"You are the thirty-second grandson of Sage Kong, and you know the most courtesy. This recognizes the monarch, is there any reason to regret it? ”
"This ......"
Li Daliang was speechless, and he really made Kong Yingda speechless! Why? The point is that in feudal society, this truth is extremely correct!
As the saying goes, a loyal minister does not care about the two masters, and a martyr does not change the second husband. The old lord is dead, and the new lord is changed, so no one can do it, and everyone can't be buried together, right? But if the old lord is fine, you switch to someone else, which is very inappropriate.
The so-called crown prince is also known as the prince, or the half-monarch.
No matter what the reason is, the ministers gave Li You such a kneel at the ceremony, and the two sides had the distinction of monarch and minister.
It's not so easy to regret it.
For example, in history, Song Renzong died, and Zhao Shu became the new emperor. Before the mountain shout long live, the famous minister Han Qi first instructed the ministers behind him, I kneel, you will kneel again, if I don't kneel, don't kneel.
Why? What if it's not Zhao Shu himself sitting on the throne? If you kneel wrong, isn't it all over?
Therefore, he had to order the hair of the man sitting on the throne to be removed from his forehead, so that his true face might be revealed. After confirming that it was Zhao Shu himself, he knelt down.
How impolite is it to go to the emperor's hair in public? But that can't be helped, this matter is too important, even if it is rude to the new emperor, it can only be done like this.
Although it is said that "Banjun" and "Jun" are not exactly the same, but now that His Majesty Li Er is dead, the so-called "Banjun" is naturally not much different from "Jun".
Seeing that Kong Yingda was silent for a long time, Li Daliang struck while the iron was hot and continued: "In addition, everyone, think about it, what kind of kindness does King Jin have to everyone? What's so bad about Liqi as the emperor? Why do you want to hold on to King Jin? ”
Li You saw the advantage, and hurriedly said: "The sky is above and the earth is below, this king swears here, if I am the emperor, I will not blame those who have a grudge against the lonely king." Not only that, but all the ministers have been promoted to the next level! If you violate this oath, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed! ”
If Li Zhi is here, of course he is not afraid of this, everyone is vying to bid, if you are promoted by one level, I can be promoted by two levels. But the problem is that Li Zhi is still locked up, he doesn't speak, and if someone else makes a promise on his behalf, the effect will be greatly reduced.
As soon as Li You's words fell, many people began to look at him eagerly.
Or is that sentence, they are all the sons of His Majesty, and in a similar situation, who is not the one?
As for saying that Li You's character is not good?
His Majesty Li Er killed his brother and killed his brother to force his father to give way, and in the end, Li Yuan died unexplained, when it comes to personal morality, how much better is he than Li You?
This does not prevent him from being a good emperor!
The left and right are the emperor's family affairs, what are we doing with it? It's better to be promoted to a higher level and fall into the bag for safety!
As a result, people began to whisper and discuss the possibility of Li You inheriting the throne.
Seeing that the situation began to reverse, Guo Ye knew that he could not wait any longer.
He said in a loud voice: "Everyone, don't be deceived by Li Daliang! Although there is no evidence, everyone understands in their hearts that His Majesty is imprisoned, and I am afraid that he will not be able to escape from the relationship with Queen Yin and King Qi. Now that His Majesty's bones are not cold, do you want to put the person who harmed him on the throne? ”
Speaking of this, he suddenly pulled out the sword at his waist, drew a line on the ground, and said, "So far, let's not say anything." With this line as the boundary, those who support the king of Qi as the emperor stand to the left. Those who support King Jin as emperor, please stand on the right. ”
This is forcing everyone to take sides.
As we all know, there is no room for ambiguity in this situation.
It's not impossible to be neutral, but you have to be neutral. For example, Li Jing, for example, the dead Qin Qiong, who is the pillar of the country, no matter who ascends the throne, they can be used, so they can naturally be neutral.
But most people are not so important, now neutral, after the new monarch ascends the throne, he will definitely have to be driven home to eat old rice. When encountering a tyrannical monarch, he may have to be exterminated by fabricated charges. It's similar to choosing the wrong side.
So, as soon as Guo Ye's words fell, the ministers became a mess. In the end, the number of people who supported the two princes was half a catty, half to half!
Of course, there are still more important ministers who support the crown prince, and the famous ministers on King Qi's side are just Xue Wanche, Zhang Liang, Wei Ting, Xu Jingzong and a few others.
Li Daliang was overjoyed by this result - there was no qualitative difference between the two sides in obtaining the support of the minister, and the only thing left was to solve it by force.
He pointed at the crowd supporting Li Zhi with his sword in his hand and said, "All the soldiers, listen to my orders and kill all these rebellious ministers and thieves!" Whoever gives more power, King Qi will not hesitate to reward! The shadow of the wife is right in front of you, everyone rush with me! ”
The eldest grandson also said loudly: "King Jin is the true son of heaven, everyone kills Li Daliang to welcome King Jin, brothers follow me to support this merit!" ”
The armor soldiers in charge of guarding the Nine Company Hall were also divided into two factions, one faction was headed by Li Daliang, and the other faction was respected by the eldest grandson.
The two sides are tense, and a big battle is just around the corner!
"Slow down, everybody! I have something to say! ”
At this critical moment, someone suddenly shouted loudly.
People followed the prestige, but the one who spoke turned out to be the chief Shi Ma Zhou of the prince's mansion.
Li Daliang said: "Ma Yuanju, it's about the ownership of the throne, you don't think you can solve it with the advantage of your tongue, right?" ”
Ma Zhou said confidently: "Of course it is not good to have a bad tongue, but ...... What about the edict? ”
