When they didn't know each other's identities, Tao Luoyang once frightened Sima He's horse in order to save a local dog, causing him to stumble and fall, and later, Tao Luoyang not only did not kneel down and beg for mercy, but pointed out that he violated the law by riding a horse in the noon market, and reprimanded Sima He in front of everyone, causing him to lose face.

When they met, Tao Luoyang turned out to be her imperial sister-in-law, Sima He dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, he hated Tao Luoyang, but he was afraid of her courage.

The appearance of the snow reminded him of the ugly forgetfulness, Sima He gritted his teeth and stood up straight, not to mention that he would not see her.

Xue and Sima Lie were in a stalemate, but the officials who bowed to her gradually increased, Xue glanced at it, and happened to see Sima He, Xue had no impression of this imperial uncle, but seeing that he was actually a little flustered, he smiled and swept over, which was considered to have been photographed.

But in Sima He's view, it was contemptuous, mocking. He was annoyed and angry, and suddenly asked in a loud voice to the people in the temple:

"Even if he looks like Emperor Tai, why do you say that he is Sima Ji?"

Everyone was shocked and looked at Sima He.

Sima He was indeed panicked, Xue came out with Xun Ting and Song Gonggong, the two of them represented the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother recognized the people, and the ministers who dared to say things.

The key is that Sima He didn't know Xun Ting at all, he was famous among the princes for his reputation of "good and bad work", he never asked about political affairs, he would only travel to the mountains and rivers, and eat all day long, but his mother's family had a big business, and after Sima Lie became the lord of Luojing, he began to appear in the court.

Xun Ting touched his beard, looked at Sima He with interest, his eyes were full of banter, slowly approached Sima He, looked him up and down, and said slowly:

"This is ......"

"Humph! Who are you? Don't you even know this prince?! Sima He's fingers cracked, and he glared at Xun Ting fiercely.

Xun Ting narrowed his eyes, this is the real contempt, and said:

"Father-in-law Song, read it."

I don't know Xun Ting, Sima He still knows Song Gonggong, Song Gao jumped out from behind Xun Ting, and then walked to the front of the high hall with his head held high, confidently took out the edict of the Empress Dowager Xun, and said loudly:

"The ministers obeyed the order, passed the Empress Dowager's decree to be carried by the sky, the spirit of the ancestors, the emperor died, the prince died, the four directions of Dayu Quartet, the five latitudes were wrong, the emperor did not stand for a day, and the people's hearts were restless for a day, and now, the heavens will return the son of Sima to the court, that is, the lord of the world......"

Although Sima Lie claimed to be the emperor's younger brother, and the previous dynasty respected him, he should be honored by the queen mother for his courtesy and filial piety. Xun Xianlan's ascension to the throne can also be regarded as Sima Lie's promotion, first, to show her filial piety and kindness, and secondly, she also took a fancy to her timid and fearful character, but I didn't expect that Xun Xianlan hid deeply, and if she didn't make a sound, she was amazing, although the queen mother didn't ask about the affairs of the court, but the first decree was to let herself step down.

Sima Lie thought that even if Sima Ji returned to the palace, even if he had the title of prince, he was just a child, and he had to compete with him, a high-ranking and powerful imperial uncle, in front of the ministers, he felt that as long as he could provoke the dissatisfaction of the ministers with him, he was not afraid of one more of his brothers, and he could easily make the "prince" in front of him become the second Sima You.

It's just that Sima Lie underestimated the development of the situation, and also underestimated Xue himself. Last night, Li Zhi reported to him the content of the afternoon secret meeting, except for Sima, the rest of the people just played Tai Chi with Sima Ji again, and did not say everything clearly, and now looking at the people who worship, except for Li Zhi, have all defected.

Moreover, there was one more thing Sima Lie couldn't understand, he moved his gaze back to Xue again, and looked her up and down.

How did a child who had just passed the age of bundling his hair suddenly let Sima, Zu Di, Xun Ting and others saddle up and protect him.

“…… Chin this. ”

Gonggong Song's voice fell, and looking at the court, except for Sima He, who was standing still, the ministers had already knelt down to receive the order.

When Sima He heard this, he was resentful, he had repeatedly advised Sima Lie to kill him as soon as possible and claim the emperor as soon as possible, but Sima Lie looked at the seven years of turmoil, and there was a problem when he finally took power, and then it overturned and turned into nothing, so he adopted a gentle policy in the matter of being the emperor, cautious and cautious, and slowly advanced, but now, before this wall has fallen, it has been pushed by everyone.

I thought that the matter had been settled by now, but I saw Gonggong Song take out a scroll from behind him, unfold it, and said:

"There is also the second decree of the Queen Mother, the ministers received the order to be carried by the sky, read my grandson Sima Ji has been living in the people for many years, and has not been in the school for a long time, only to learn shallowly, and does not have the wisdom of the Son of Heaven, and now follow the edict of the emperor, especially for the emperor to choose auxiliary ministers......"

As soon as these words came out, the ministers were in an uproar, and even Sima Lie's face changed, I thought that the words of the "Auxiliary Minister" at the time of yesterday's secret meeting were just words that won the hearts of the people, but I didn't expect that it would be decided with the decree of the Queen Mother, is this a complete expulsion of him from the court?

“…… Situ Sima Lie, Taiwei Sima, Zhongshu Jian Zuo Ruhui and the former Guanglu doctor Xun Ting, I hope these four people will share the heavy responsibility of assisting and return me to the prosperous era of Henan. ”

Gonggong Song closed the silk scroll, turned to look at Sima Lie standing on top of the high hall, and said eloquently:

"Lord Situ, please take the order."

Sima Lie glanced at Xue and the others in disbelief, and at this moment Xue also slowly got up, and met Sima Lie's gaze again, at this time, Xue was still calm and relaxed, and bowed slowly to Sima Lie, this is her as a junior, for the sake of respecting the elderly, and it can be regarded as giving Sima Lie a face.

Sima Lie seemed to understand something, and also saluted back to Xue, and then slowly walked down the high hall, raised his eyebrows and raised his eyes, the corners of his mouth inadvertently showed an evil smile, knelt down in front of the hall, and slowly kowtowed to the queen mother's decree, which was regarded as receiving the decree.

Gonggong Song didn't expect that Sima Lie easily accepted the decree without much obstruction, and in addition to being surprised, he felt that he had spoken out for the Queen Mother, and at the same time he was happy for Xue, he raised his head and looked at Sima He, who was isolated and helpless in the court, with a smug smile on his face.

Sima He couldn't believe the scene in front of him, but looking at the court, he was the only one standing, and he looked at Xue Si who had just gotten up in a blink of an eye, Sima He hated Xue's face, but he couldn't stand Xue's eyes like a torch, his legs were weak, and finally he reluctantly knelt down, which was regarded as an endorsement of all this.

Seeing this, Xue was relieved and let out a long sigh.

Gonggong Song walked quickly to Xue, handed over the two edicts to Xue, and gave Xue a positive look, Xue nodded, solemnly followed the silk scroll, held it in both hands, and slowly walked up to the high hall, stopped in the center of the main hall, turned around, and faced forward.

At this moment, the sunlight finally passed through the thick clouds, shone into the cool bricks and ice tiles, sprinkled on the blue bricks of the main hall, and the snow faced the gate of the main hall, that is, the direction of the palace gate, facing the heaven and earth, kneeling down towards the people outside the palace, holding high the edict, and looking solemn.

"Erchen! Pick it up! ”

This sound was like thunder, running through the court and resounding through the sky......
