Chapter 380: Everyone's Thoughts
The ministers in the Taiji Hall had already gathered together, and everyone was talking to each other, but their expressions were very nervous.
Because everyone received the grapevine that His Majesty had died, King Ji Ping of Jin forced the Taiji Hall of the palace to let everyone support him to inherit the throne. For the courtiers who have no position, they feel that it is the same for everyone, because they are all the children of the first emperor and the descendants of the Ji family, and they have nothing to do with them.
But the problem is that Ji Ping's opponent is Ji Qingchen.
For Ji Qingchen's strength and ruthlessness, the ministers of the DPRK and China did not dare to forget it, and now Ji Ping wants to compete with Ji Qingchen for the throne, and he also mutinied by violent means, which makes everyone embarrassed.
Because when it comes to excellent soldiers and horses, the number of the army is not because of tricks, and ten Ji Ping is not an opponent of Ji Qingchen! If you take the liberty of supporting Ji Ping to ascend the throne and become the emperor, and when the time comes, Ji Qingchen counterattacks and obtains the throne, what should a group of people who work hard Ji Ping do?
After weighing the pros and cons, the ministers in the Taiji Hall were a little nervous, and they were a little absent-minded when talking to each other, and they moved their eyes to the door of the Taiji Palace, wanting to see how many people supported Ji Ping.
But after staring at it for a long time, to everyone's disappointment, except for the large group of guards outside the palace, there was no shadow of the central ministers at all, and none of the prime ministers and the six ministers of the government hall, the prefect of the Privy Council, etc., appeared in front of everyone.
At this moment, the ministers in the Taiji Hall were in an uproar.
Could it be that Ji Ping, the king of Jin, really wanted to use force to persecute and use killing to ascend to the throne of God?
In front of him, Dayan was facing the situation of being attacked on three sides, and with Ji Qingchen's command in the south, it greatly frustrated the spirit of the Lingnan army, but it did not completely eliminate the Lingnan army. The situation in Xizhou is even more delicate, with Li Changzheng's 200,000 troops, it really shocked Xishu, but can it be effective just by shocking? As long as Dayan's north and south lines are defeated, Xishu will definitely not sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. As for the northern line of Dayan, I can't say anything, because Ningzhou has fallen, and now the army of Baixiangcheng and Ning Wang Ji Hongchang and Liu Donglou has retreated to the northern capital.
In this case, even if the throne has nothing to do with the ministers in the main hall, they still hope that Ji Ping can ascend the throne and become emperor by peaceful means, instead of creating another series of killings.
Just when the ministers were thinking like this, Ji Ping, the king of Jin, was in the side hall of Taiji Palace, discussing the accession to the throne with Gu Qi and his three strategists, as well as Li Muzhi, Guo Xing, Zhao Deyan, Chen Yan, Liu Pingyuan and others.
Because Pei Wenju, Bai Jin and Ye Qingzhi, the most influential and influential ministers in the center of Dayan, were imprisoned by Ji Ping, and the rest of the people did not appear to be as tough as Ye Qingzhi and Pei Wenju, Ji Ping did not embarrass Chen Yan and Liu Pingyuan and others, his requirement was that as long as a few people remained neutral.
In this way, Ji Ping has the support of Li Muzhi, Zhao Deyan, Guo Xing and other central ministers around him, plus the power in his hands, it is not difficult for Ji Ping to ascend the throne and become emperor without Ji Qingchen.
"What do you think?" Ji Ping's eyes showed a sense of joy, and he asked everyone loudly.
Just now, a few people were discussing how to let Ji Pingshun ascend the throne.
Because in addition to the absence of Ji Wen's edict, it is necessary to let Guo Xing and Zhao Deyan make up a lie that Ji Ping's ascension to the throne is an edict dictated by Emperor Yan Ji Wen, and it is also necessary to reasonably explain why Pei Wenju, Bai Jin and Ye Qingzhi did not appear in the Taiji Hall under such a heavy situation.
To be honest, Ji Ping doesn't want to use force to solve the problem, and use killing to solve criticism.
But the current crisis facing Dayan made him not dare to kill his ministers too much.
Because doing so will shake the country's capital and the people's hearts, even if he ascends the throne and becomes emperor, then Dayan will collapse under the offensive of the Three Kingdoms, and he will also become the king of the country.
"Except for a very few people, the ministers will not oppose His Highness. It's just that I'm afraid that the king of parliament will suddenly appear, this is what the ministers are most worried about! Guo Xing said.
He said that everyone was afraid of Ji Qingchen, but he supported Ji Ping despite the edict left by Ji Wen, so why wasn't he afraid of Ji Qingchen?
"Lao Jiu is not worried, this king is free to deal with it." Ji Ping said confidently. Everyone Ji Ping was very confident in dealing with Ji Qingchen, so everyone didn't say anything anymore, but moved their eyes to Zhao Deyan and Guo Xing.
Zhao Deyan glanced at Guo Xing and knew that it was difficult for the two of them to refuse, so he respectfully received the order and said, "Please rest assured, Your Highness, Weichen and Guo Shangshu will definitely persuade the ministers to support His Highness to ascend the throne and become emperor!" ”
Guo Xing heard Zhao Deyan say this, and also expressed his position to Ji Ping on the side.
Because Ji Ping's task for the two of them was to let them come forward to discuss with the ministers of the Taiji Palace, so that everyone could support Ji Ping to ascend the throne and become emperor peacefully, so that there would be no opposition and too many killings.
This task seems simple, but it is actually a bit tricky.
Because once the two of them become Ji Ping's lobbyists, there will be no hope of turning back, so they can only go one way to the dark and fight Ji Qingchen to the end.
"The two Aiqing agreed so happily, this king is very happy, you can rest assured, as long as this king ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, he will not treat you badly!" At this time, Ji Ping was a little carried away, and began to promise benefits to Zhao Deyan and Guo Xing, but then his words changed and said, "However, this king can only give you half an hour, and after half an hour, this king will go to the Taiji Hall with Li Aiqing and you, and then it will be up to the two Aiqing." ”
Zhao Deyan and Guo Xing trembled when they heard that Ji Ping only gave them half an hour, and they had the intention of dying, because to convince hundreds of people in the Taiji Palace, how could they do it in just half an hour?
But the two were about to buy more time for Ji Ping, when they suddenly saw a murderous flash in Ji Ping's eyes, and the two couldn't help but be shocked, and they didn't dare to say anything to Ji Ping to give him some time in fear.
could only swallow his anger and accept Ji Ping's arrangement.
"Please rest assured, Your Highness! Wechen will definitely not disappoint His Highness's expectations! Zhao Deyan tried his best to suppress his dissatisfaction, and said tremblingly.
Guo Xing, who was on the side, was the same as Zhao Deyan, he was annoyed, but he was still very respectful and expressed his determination to Ji Ping.
"Yes! Go ahead! Ji Ping was very satisfied with the attitude of the two and said happily.
"Yes." Zhao Deyan and Guo Xing received the order, and they said goodbye to Ji Ping and came to the Taiji Palace!
