Chapter 210: The Storm is Coming
Until his death, Xu Ruizhi couldn't see his father show a kind and doting look to him, leaving the breathless conspiracy to bind him in a cage and suppress the darkness.
was accused by Xu Ruizhi in public, Xu Qingke only frowned tightly and looked at Xu Rui deeply.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, this road is full of thorns, there is no road, if you want to walk through, you can only find the bright road by risking your body and being injured without complete skin. Xu Qingke stretched out his hand and patted Xu Ruizhi on the shoulder, obviously he was five years younger than Xu Ruizhi, but his expression was more mature and stable than Xu Ruizhi.
"If you show the slightest flaw, those who hide in the shadows will take advantage of it, remember,
The palace never gives people a chance to rest. ”
After saying this, Xu Qingke swept past Xu Ruizhi and ordered someone to carefully check the emperor, he needed to know what kind of poison or disease it was that quietly took a person's life.
It's impossible to say that he is not uncomfortable, Xu Qingke is not hard-hearted, but he has long been used to hiding all his emotions, so that no one can see his sincerity.
After waiting for a long time and not waiting for Xu Qingke to come back, Lin Yunmeng looked in the direction of the palace with worried eyes, Lin Lin didn't even have time to tidy up his official clothes, and hurried into the palace after hearing the news.
Prince Lin sealed off the palace and investigated the people one by one.
The growing rebel army even gradually spread from south to north, and only the news of General Chen's defeat and retreat came.
In an instant, the entire Xu Kingdom seemed to be in chaos.
The pretty woman sitting by the window slowly raised her head and looked at Yun Shuyun.
It turns out that this is the tranquility of the storm.
After the death of the emperor, the crown prince temporarily took over the imperial power, first stabilized and then discussed, those princes who usually watched nothing to do were ready to move, but with the support of Prince Lin, the general and the Prime Minister's Mansion for the prince, they did not dare to take action.
But sooner or later, this layer of appearance will be torn, not to mention that there are people who secretly snoop and silently ignite this fuse
In this situation, where there are wolves and tigers in front of him, Xu Ruizhi can only hurry up for the funeral...... Nowadays, rumors about the royal family have become more and more rampant, and the words of heavenly punishment that have been suppressed have doubled since the mysterious death of the emperor.
On the day of the emperor's funeral, the whole country mourned, although people who were bewitched by rumors even set off firecrackers to celebrate.
When the news reached Xu Ruizhi's ears, he felt pain, and his weak anger swept through his body, but he could only swallow this bitter whimper silently.
His father, the emperor, ruled the country in a way and served the people all his life, but he died suddenly, and he didn't even leave a last word.
Under his leadership, the people of Xu did not have to suffer from foreign invasions, but the people of the dawn in his heart cheered for the day of his burial, which was really ridiculous.
Prince Lin patted Xu Ruizhi on the shoulder, intending to comfort: "Your Highness, don't be impatient, the top priority is to stabilize the court, and the old minister will order the border to be stationed tomorrow to resist the prying eyes of the border Zhou State." ”
His words reminded Xu Ruizhi that now he is facing a grim situation of tigers and leopards in front of him and jackals in the back.
This world is not the world of Xu State, although Xu Guo is strong and powerful to cover other countries, but you must know that Emperor Xu overthrew the previous dynasty system and established the country for only 20 months, compared with some surrounding countries with a long history and rich heritage, it is still a little insufficient.
Fortunately, Prince Lin, the famous god of war, suppressed other countries, and because of Emperor Xu's intelligence, no one dared to fight Xu Guo's idea in the past twenty years.
But as soon as the Son of Heaven died, not to mention what other countries thought, even the natives were all kinds of thoughts.
Xu Ruizhi was not allowed to have time to be negative, so he called the old eunuch left by his father, asked him to bring a pen, and immediately issued a holy decree.
Prince Lin leaving Kyoto to guard the town can indeed deter foreign countries, but there are two sides to everything.
After all, Prince Lin put all his mind on defending other countries, and it just gave them the opportunity to change the dynasty.
It's not that Xu Ruizhi doesn't know what the consequences of his actions will be, but now he has to do it, choose one of the two, first protect the people in the domain, and then suppress the rebel army at home.
In the early dynasty, Xu Ruizhi, who was still wearing the prince's clothes, pinched his eyebrows, the emperor went too fast, he didn't even customize the dragon robe, of course, he didn't care about these vain things now.
The courtiers below looked at each other, pushing and dragging each other covertly, hoping that someone would break the peace first.
"Let's talk about it bluntly, this palace just wants to hear the thoughts of the ministers. ”
Xu Ruizhi waved his hand impatiently, and the words made the people below even more confused.
Thoughts? What are the thoughts, the thoughts of other countries that are ready to move, the arrogance of the rebels, or the whole thing that smells of conspiracy?
Several ministers pushed each other forward, and the middle-aged man with the largest official pondered for a moment: "Prince Qiqi, recently... There are suspected mobs in the capital and the capital mixing into the hearts of the lobbyists, so that there are also people in the capital to crusade... Insult the majesty of the heavenly family. ”
After speaking, he immediately fell to his knees tremblingly, not daring to look up at the future monarchs.
But after waiting for a long time, I didn't hear the other party's angry shouting and scolding, only a quiet pressure on the rolling dark tide.
Xu Ruizhi looked gloomily at the kneeling courtier, and had a bad premonition in his heart.
Sure enough, another old man with goat braids touched his beard and sneered: "Crusade, Zhang Shilang also dares to use this word, it is really bold, His Royal Highness the Prince, according to the ministers, you better solve this matter quickly, otherwise those mobs will completely lose their minds, and I am afraid that even the heavenly family will no longer be afraid." ”
This seemed to be a tight urging, but it made Xu Ruizhi's eyes even darker, and the momentum around him became more and more condensed.
The words that were obviously swept over were deliberately reiterated by this person, but the fluttering words clearly reminded Xu Ruizhi that his heavenly family was a royal family that was rejected by the people.
"Solve it, then you should think of a way for Prince Ben!" Xu Ruizhi was angry, if it could be easily solved, he would have done it a long time ago, where did he need to listen to the words of these people with ghosts who are difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood?
"Your Highness, don't be angry, as a future monarch, it's time to test you. The old minister's answer made the audience gasp, and the contempt in his eyes also made Xu Ruizhi see clearly.
If he was still the crown prince, this old official could barely take the school exam, but now that the prince is already a sure emperor, he still dares to make such bold remarks.
Xu Ruiyi squinted: "Do you think that this prince will not dare to kill you?"
The old minister's leisurely expression froze, and he subconsciously glanced at the crowd, Xu Ruizhi, who was the leader of this small action, didn't see it, but was clearly seen by Xu Qingke on the side, and he couldn't help but squint.
Who is he looking at?
