Chapter 617: The Dust Has Settled
The people of Daming Kyoto have been talking about a major event recently, that is, in such a short period of time, their emperor of Daming will be replaced again.
But after so much time, who is the emperor of their Ming Dynasty has not yet been determined.
Regarding the emperor's sudden abdication, the people of the Ming Dynasty did not have any objections, after all, an emperor who harbored a traitor for his own selfish desires was even more worrying if he did not abdicate.
It is said that at that time, King Xian and everyone rushed into the palace to arrest the rebel, and the abolished emperor who harbored the rebel was bitten by the rebel, although he did not die, but he was also seriously injured, and finally was picked up by the queen who guarded the imperial tomb.
At this time, above the court, there was a lot of trouble.
The third prince glared angrily at Princess Xian, that is, Ji Ruhuan, and said loudly, "Are you kidding me? Can you say that you will lose your father's edict? You still verbally summon it? I see that your edict is not written like this at all, that is, you have made your own initiative to spread the edict blindly, do you know that you are deceiving the emperor and plotting rebellion?"
Dugu Chiyan said in a cold voice with a calm face, "Did you talk to the elders like this?"
The three princes vomited blood angrily, and they were not happy to call them Nine Emperor Uncles and Nine Emperor Aunts, but now they have become elders?
Princess Xinyi said with a helpless face, "Third Emperor Brother, in this situation, you are the only one who is suitable to accept the throne. ”
The third prince replied, "Why is it only me who is suitable? Don't you see that there is a Nine Emperor Uncle here, he is the most suitable, maybe above the edict, my father said that he is the one who inherits the throne." ”
Dugu Chiyan replied lightly, "I am not the blood of the Ming royal family, you should know." ”
Seeing this kind of secret Dugu Chi Yan said it so lightly, the people in the court were a little speechless, although most of them knew the truth.
The third prince snorted coldly, "The edict in Xinyi's hand has said, if there is no one to inherit the throne, the throne can be passed on to the sixth child, which shows that the edict in Ruhuan's hand is absolutely impossible to pass on the throne to me, if it is passed to me, I can't have children, how can there be no one to succeed to the throne?"
The courtiers looked at each other, and they all felt that what the third prince said was reasonable.
Chen Ge Lao has a headache, others are fighting for the throne, brothers are killing each other, now they are good, the throne has become a hot potato, no one wants to sit.
Seeing that the trouble was getting more and more outrageous, Chen Ge Lao gritted his teeth and said, "Since the edict in the hand of Princess Xinyi said, if no one succeeds to the throne, the throne will be passed on to the six princes, so take the six princes back to succeed to the throne." ”
Then the minister disagreed and said, "But the sixth prince is still a child, and the minister thinks it is appropriate for His Royal Highness King Xian to succeed to the throne." ”
Dugu Chiyan glanced at the minister coldly, "I said that I am not the blood of the Ming royal family." ”
"Then it can only be the third prince. ”
"Without the edict of succession, don't want to throw it to me. ”
Hearing the words of the three princes, Chen Ge glared at the three princes angrily, he didn't expect this third prince anymore, it was strange that he could be a good emperor with this attitude, so he made a decision directly, "Just follow the edict in the hands of Princess Xinyi, and the six princes will succeed to the throne, although they are younger, aren't there still auxiliary ministers? ”
Among these auxiliary ministers, there are themselves, General Ji and King Xian, even if there are people who are unwilling to hand over power at that time, it is impossible.
Originally, he still had the intention to let King Xian and the third prince succeed to the throne, but seeing that the two were resolutely unwilling to succeed to the throne, they could only dispel their thoughts, and no one raised any objections.
The next thing is to wait for the six princes to return from Liaodong to succeed to the throne, and the government will be handled by several auxiliary ministers for the time being.
On the way out of the palace, Ji Ruhuan took Princess Xinyi's arm and said to the three princes on the side with a look of disgust, "Look at your little talent, a prince, you don't dare to be the emperor if you have the opportunity to be the emperor." ”
Hearing Ji Ruhuan belittle himself so much, the third prince was not annoyed, and only opened his mouth to respond, "Your Ninth Emperor Uncle also has a chance, why don't you let him be?"
Ji Ruhuan snorted coldly and replied, "My family's Nine Emperor Uncles are not the orthodox bloodline of the royal family, what does it have to do with this throne? ”
The third prince replied with a smile, "I think it's troublesome, right? It just so happens that I'm too, how comfortable it is to be an idle prince, what kind of emperor, tired and tired and worried about being calculated and seized the throne every day, anyway, I am not appropriate for this emperor who loves to be whom." ”
Princess Xinyi looked at the third prince with a disgusted expression, "If my father heard that you were so unproductive, he would have to get up from the imperial tomb and beat you in anger." ”
The third prince reprimanded, "How can you speak, it's your brother, do you say that about your brother?"
Princess Xinyi pursed her mouth, didn't pay attention to the three princes, and the group went out of the palace all the way, hearing that Ji Ruhuan and they were going to Ji's mansion, the third prince forgot that he was still quarreling with Ji Ruhuan just now, and followed him to Ji's house with a dead face.
The abdication of the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty does not seem to have much impact on Kyoto, and the people are still living the life they should have, at most they get together from time to time to get together and talk about some gossip.
But Dugu Chiyan and Ji Ruhuan were completely relieved, the remnants of the Tianxuan Sect were caught, and the Tianxuan Sect completely ceased to exist, even if there were still some scattered sect members everywhere, without a leader, they were quickly swept away by their people.
And Daming finally settled down, the new emperor abdicated, and the people who wanted to rely on the new emperor to turn over obediently stopped, and they didn't dare to be demons anymore, and no one dared to stumble on the Ji family for them.
Everything returned to calm, and Ji Ruhuan relaxed all over, leisurely accompanying the Nine Emperor Uncles to play chess in the courtyard.
This is Chunxiao entering the door, standing at the door and saluting, said, "Master, Chen Ge Lao has sent someone over again." ”
Dugu Chiyan didn't speak, but Ji Ruhuan opened his mouth and asked, "What did you say this time?"
Chunxiao responded, "Elder Chen Ge said, he doesn't ask the master to go to the court every day, he only hopes that when the six princes come back to succeed to the throne, the master you should still be present to preside, after all, you are still the nominal elder." ”
Dugu Chiyan put down the sunspot in his hand and answered, "You go and reply, Prince Yong is already on his way back to Beijing, he is an orthodox royal bloodline and an elder, it is appropriate for him to preside over it, but I will be present at the enthronement ceremony." ”
Chunxiao turned around and left, Ji Ruhuan looked at the Nine Emperor Uncle opposite with white words in his hand, and said, "Do we really don't care about anything?"
Dugu Chiyan looked at Ji Ruhuan, "Do you want me to go to the court, and then stay in the palace every day to deal with political affairs?"
Ji Ruhuan shook his head decisively, he still likes to wake up every day that the Nine Emperor Uncles are by his side, and there are also Nine Emperor Uncles who accompany him to practice martial arts during the day, she accompanies the Nine Emperor Uncles to play chess, or the two go out to play together.
Dugu Chiyan responded with a smile, "That's right, there are so many courtiers in the Ming Dynasty, let them deal with the miscellaneous affairs of the court, if there is really any big thing, let's come forward again." ”
