As soon as Jiang Qiang's words came out, it immediately caused a storm in the court.

Even many ministers who were clamoring to see Emperor Showa for the last time stopped their steps and looked back at Jiang Qiang who was holding the holy decree in surprise.

Jiang Qiang showed a stubborn appearance that was sad but tried her best to forbear, and really showed that she didn't say anything about the bitterness in her heart, and continued: "All the ministers know that King Xuan is the eldest son of the first emperor, and he has been cultivated by the first emperor in many ways for many years, and he is often given heavy responsibilities, which shows that in the heart of the first emperor, King Xuan has long been regarded as the only prince; Now that the first emperor has died, although the top and bottom are grieving, but the country can not be without a king for a day, the palace decided to read the edict of the first emperor here today, and follow the will of the edict, and support King Xuan to ascend the throne and become emperor together with all the ministers. ”

When Zhao Heng heard Jiang Qiang say these words, he was already trembling with anger.

The funeral of her father has not yet been completed, and the news of the death of the Son of Heaven has not yet been conveyed to the four seas, Jiang Qiang called her father by the first emperor, but in this woman's heart, how much she is looking forward to the death of her father.

Thinking that his loving and gentle father died in the hands of such a vicious woman in the end, Zhao Heng couldn't wait to rush up and tear off the hypocritical mask on Jiang Qiang's face, so that the world could see clearly this woman's femme fatale.

How could Zhao Xi not notice the emotional changes of Zhao Heng beside him, seeing that his angry eyes were red, as if he could rush up to fight Jiang Qiang to the death in the next second; hurriedly grabbed Zhao Heng's hand at the bottom and stopped him: "Calm down, don't fight with this woman at this time." ”

"But Brother Seven, you have also seen it, she actually took out some holy decree of succession in a false way, I don't believe it, the holy decree in her hand is true."

"Naturally it is not true, what she wants is to convince everyone present that the holy decree in her hand is true; Remember, we must not be reckless at this time, if we want to win an opportunity for the third brother, we must act at the opportunity. ”

After listening to Zhao Xi's words, Zhao Heng finally managed to suppress the anger in his heart, and continued to stare at Jiang Qiang acting in front of everyone.

And the people of the Jiang family faction, who had long been colluded by Jiang Qiang, knelt on the ground and shouted long live the moment they saw Jiang Qiang take out the holy decree and read it.

And the other Qingliu ministers also hesitated after seeing this series of actions made by the Jiang family faction, although they agreed with Jiang Qiang's words that the emperor loved the eldest prince Zhao Xuan very much during his reign, but who did not know that although the emperor loved King Xuan, he never said to anyone that he would hand over the position of prince to King Xuan.

On the contrary, in recent years, His Royal Highness King Ling has gradually shown his edge in the court, and his status is thriving, and the emperor has praised King Ling more than once for his extraordinary ability; Therefore, the court was divided into two factions, the Ling Wang Party and the Xuan Wang Party.

At present, King Ling is far away in Jeju City for disaster relief, but at this time, the emperor suddenly died, and then the queen took out a holy decree and said that this was the emperor's edict, and also supported King Xuan to ascend the throne; After savoring all this, I can't help but feel a bit coincidental and far-fetched.

Therefore, the ministers of Qingliu, who are not affiliated with any party in the DPRK and China, will be suspicious and dare not rashly obey the holy decree; It's not that they think King Xuan is unworthy of being the emperor, but they think that there are too many suspicious things that need to be verified.

The Son of Heaven is the foundation of a country, if someone really dares to risk the world's disapproval and do some dirty hands and feet on this, then how far will the Great Wei be from falling apart?

Jiang Qiang held the holy decree in her hand, looking at the many humerus ministers who were still standing upright in the court at the moment and refused to accept the decree, the grief on her face gradually faded, and was replaced by a fierce color gradually rising between her eyebrows.

"Ministers, what are you doing here? Could it be that the first emperor has just died, and you have a heart of disobedience? Lord Ji, you are among the nine kings, and you are a respected minister in the court, you can explain to the palace, why don't you accept the holy decree? ”

The Ji person named by Jiang Qiang is Ji Li, the Qing of Dali Temple, I heard that this person was a very powerful character when he was young, and he won fame by virtue of his cloth body, and after entering Dali Temple, he was even more selfless in judging cases, not afraid of offending the power in Beijing, and he walked to the position of Dali Temple Qing step by step with his own efforts and the reputation of the people.

can become a Jiuqing Zhongren without anyone's help, such a person wants to say that he is incompetent, no one will believe it.

It's just that no matter how powerful the tiger is, there is an old day, and over the years, Ji Li's grade has gradually grown older, although there is no jealousy like * tough means when he was young, but the tiger is always a tiger, even if he is old, no one dares to provoke him casually.

Ji Li has a high prestige in the court, and has a good reputation in the eyes of the world's scholars, Jiang Qiang wanted to pull this person into the camp of the Jiang family, but it was a pity that she was soft and this person, and people just didn't accept it.

wants to use extraordinary means to eradicate this person, but Ji Li is not easy to provoke, and the Jiang family's people have tried many times in vain; So right now, seeing Ji Li standing upright and not taking the holy decree in his hand, Jiang Qiang subconsciously wanted to take Ji Li first.

Ji Li has not occupied any faction over the years, An An guards his Dali Temple, which can be regarded as the mainstay of this Qingliu minister, if she can gnaw this hard bone first, as for the others, I am afraid that she will not have to clean it up, they will be subdued first.

The moment this thought arose, Jiang Qiang was even more sure that her choice was correct; She is now going to kill the chicken to show the monkey, and it is obvious that Ji Li is the 'chicken' chosen by Jiang Qiang.

Ji Li saw Jiang Qiang showing an unkind expression towards him, and knew that the queen mother, who had always looked at him unpleasantly, was ready to clean him up; But he has always been a person who would rather bend than bend, and he doesn't know how to change even when he is old; Seeing that the queen wanted to clean him up, he was not afraid, raised his wrinkled face, and directly clashed with the queen on the front.

Ji Li saluted and said: "Queen Mother, as you said, the minister is already an old minister in the court, how dare he have a heart of disobedience, the old minister just thinks that the queen mother's practice of reading His Majesty's edict here at this moment is very inappropriate." ”

Jiang Qiang's eyes hid a sneer: "What's wrong?" ”

Ji Li arched his hand in the direction where Tai'an Palace was located, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "I have just passed away from the Son of Heaven, and as a minister, I should first go to see the last side of the Son of Heaven's face before I should do as a courtier; This is one of them, and the other is that the old minister is very suspicious of the truth of this holy decree in your hand, the queen mother. ”

"Bold Ji Li, do you still doubt that this palace dares to fabricate the edict?"

Looking at Jiang Qiang, who was suddenly angry, Ji Li would not take her anger seriously, and after bowing to her again, he said, "The old minister doesn't dare." ”

"It's just that the queen mother just said that this edict was handed over to you by the emperor, and the old minister wants to ask, when you hand over this edict, will there be others around the mother to testify? It's not that the old minister really dares to doubt the mother, but the identity of the mother should avoid suspicion. None of the colleagues present know that Niangniang is the adoptive mother of His Royal Highness King Xuan, and you have been so strongly supporting King Xuan to compete for the crown prince over the years. ”

Ji Li's words were really reasonable, and as soon as the words fell, they immediately won the approval of many ministers.

At the same time, Zhao Heng also jumped out, walked in front of Ji Li and looked at Jiang Qiang, and said: "This king also thinks that what Lord Ji said is very reasonable, Queen Mother, this king is very curious about one thing, and needs Mother to answer one or two." ”

"All the ministers know that although my father is old, his health has always been good, and this king still remembers that two days ago, when he was greeting his father, his father also smiled and said to this king that his appetite has been quite good in recent days, and he can drink two bowls of vegetarian porridge in the morning; At that time, his father was full of red face, and he couldn't see the appearance of hiding a deep illness at all, how could such a healthy person suddenly die of illness? Therefore, this king now not only doubts the truth of the holy decree in your hand, but also the cause of his father's death, this king must investigate clearly; If someone really hurts the king's father, even if the king doesn't want to fight for his life, he will let that person go to hell to apologize to his father. ”

If it is said that the words of Xiancai Ji Li have already aroused the discussion of many courtiers, then after hearing Zhao Heng's words, everyone's discussion is even more noisy, and it has the meaning of drowning Jiang Qiang, who is holding the holy decree.

Jiang Qiang had long guessed that there would be a tough battle to fight in the court this morning, but she didn't expect to be kicked off so soon; But it's okay, the sooner it starts, the sooner it ends, if she is really afraid of these people, then her Taoguang cultivation over the years will really be blind.

Jiang Qiang immediately put away the holy decree in his hand, faced Zhao Heng, who was inciting the courtiers, and sneered: "What His Royal Highness King Heng said is to suspect the cause of the death of the first emperor?" Okay, it just so happens that the palace will bring it to the imperial doctor who diagnosed the illness of the first emperor, if King Heng wants to ask, he can ask him. ”

Zhao Heng saw that Jiang Qiang casually pushed out a imperial doctor to deal with him, and he was almost laughed at on the spot: "If the father emperor is really persecuted by others, how can this king easily believe this imperial doctor who has been promoted; The queen doesn't treat this king as a three-year-old child, and she can use it to deal with it casually. ”

Jiang Qiang's eyebrows sank: "Zhao Heng, are you also suspicious of this palace?" After the palace is a country, how can it do anything to hurt the first emperor? ”

Zhao Heng snorted and sneered a few times, obviously sneering at Jiang Qiang's words: "As the so-called knowing people and faces, but not knowing their hearts, no one in your presence dares to underestimate your means and abilities, Queen Mother; As Lord Ji said, it is difficult to distinguish the truth of this edict in your hand, the cause of the death of the father is confusing, and the son of heaven who is high in my Great Wei is likely to be persecuted by the villain, and now this situation is not suitable for supporting the new monarch to ascend the throne, this king believes that we should first find out the cause of the death of the father emperor is the most important thing at the moment; lest the truth be covered up by the villain, and eventually make the relatives bitter and the enemies happy. ”
