Chapter 158: Succession
The hands of the two guards were already on Fang Yuan's shoulders, and the next moment, a long chant came again, "King Huainan has arrived!" ”
Everyone stood up.
King Huainan, the only surviving younger brother of the previous emperor, was also the only imperial uncle of the dynasty.
Except for the emperor and the empress dowager, everyone else stood up.
Before the laughter of the Huainan King arrived, after a burst of laughter, he came to the top of the main hall, ignored anyone, but looked at the Empress Dowager, bowed and saluted, "Nephew to meet the Empress Dowager!" ”
His first worship was not to the emperor, but to the empress dowager, everyone looked at this scene in a daze, and some people glanced at each other, and they all felt that the king of Huainan was going to do something next.
No one dared to speak at the moment, and they all retreated to their positions.
Most of the people who watched the excitement were worried, especially the regent, Zuo Xiang, Li Jingzhi and other people who knew what had happened.
Almost at the same time, he looked at the emperor.
The Empress Dowager glanced at the emperor before she spoke: "Get up, I haven't seen you for many years, you are still the same, but your imperial brother is ......."
As he spoke, he wiped away tears.
King Huainan was not so sad, stood up and persuaded: "The Empress Dowager mourns, and the death of the imperial brother is also an inviolable destiny, but he also left hope for the Celestial Empire." ”
As he spoke, he suddenly turned around and said, "This king heard that the second son has returned." ”
His gaze looked around, and finally fixed on the second son's body, "It's you!" ”
Only then did the second prince get up, first saluted him, and called, "I've seen King Huainan." ”
Fu sat back down, without the slightest intention of saying a few words to him.
Everyone looked at it interestingly, and someone whispered, "What do you mean by these two sons?" ”
"You are stupid, the first time King Huainan entered the palace was not to face the saint, but to worship the empress dowager, indicating that he did not recognize this emperor, and secondly, he asked the second prince directly, obviously he liked him."
"But didn't the second son ignore him?"
"That's not it, the second son is firmly on the emperor's side, since the king of Huainan does not worship the emperor, the second son does not recognize him, this can be regarded as a brotherly heart!"
"I really can't see that the second son still has such an open-mindedness, and he wants to be replaced by someone else, so obviously wooed, he shouldn't refute it like this."
The officials below spoke very quietly, discussing in a small area.
Only on the high platform, the emperor never said a word, and looked at King Huainan quietly.
And King Huainan obviously didn't expect the second prince to give him face so much, so he immediately lowered his face, pointed at him directly, and said: "Don't even call Uncle Huang anymore, do you want to share with this king?" ”
"Uncle Huang?" The second prince got up and said lightly: "The emperor is the son of heaven in this dynasty, since the king of Huainan doesn't even recognize the emperor, as the emperor's second brother, why should the prince be too high-minded, and make others suspicious." ”
He said something obvious, you don't recognize my brother, then I, as an elder brother, naturally don't recognize you, you want to use this method to provoke the relationship between our brothers, no way.
"Second brother, Uncle Huang hasn't returned to the capital for many years, and he has forgotten many rules, so don't laugh with him."
It was only at this time that Moshi, the emperor who had been treated as air for a long time, spoke, but he was not in a hurry to compare this scene to a joke.
However, King Huainan didn't appreciate it at all, and suddenly looked back at the ink stone sitting on the dragon chair, sneered, and said, "It turns out that the emperor was the dumb man who mixed into the king's mansion and was a maid for a few days. ”
His words are not poisonous, how ugly they are.
Moshi once entered the Huainan Mansion with Qiu Jue, at that time, Qiu Jue was not at ease and wanted to enter the Huainan Mansion to find Qiu Chan's whereabouts, but she didn't expect Moshi to disagree with her to go alone, so she had to follow up.
In fact, King Huainan already knew about this at the beginning, but he didn't say it until now.
No one knows about this except for a few people.
As soon as King Huainan said this, all the ministers and officials talked about it, and some even began to point fingers, but they were all sneaky.
"The emperor also pretended to be a maid?"
"Still dumb?"
"This is too hurtful for the country, isn't it? The emperor is a golden body, and he represents the image of this dynasty, how can he do such a shameful thing, really, such a person is not worthy of being the emperor. ”
No one wants to agree with this, it's not appropriate or inappropriate, but you can't change the emperor just because of this, right?
Li Jingzhi was not qualified to speak on such an occasion, but he was anxious, so he explained in the crowd that it was because the emperor was worried about the queen mother, so he went in with her.
But someone said that entering his imperial uncle's mansion was just a greeting, and such a simple thing made it so complicated.
This emperor is a petty family.
They had forgotten this time, Moshi's style of acting, and he was the timid and cowardly little boy he used to be.
The more Li Jingzhi explained, the more things were developing in a bad direction, but fortunately he shut up directly.
He slowly moved behind the regent, "Lord, what should I do?" "Let's search for books
The regent didn't change his face and his heart didn't beat, he kept eating, and he didn't raise his head when he heard the words: "The emperor can handle this little thing." ”
If he can't even handle this little thing, he will be even more hopeless for this emperor.
Li Jingzhi was still very worried, but he didn't have much to say, so he could only return to his position.
The Empress Dowager also stopped saying a word, waiting to watch a good show.
Qiu Jue snorted coldly, suddenly spoke, and said: "King Huainan is really a big shelf, when you see the emperor, you don't kneel, and you don't pay respects, are you dissatisfied with the current emperor, or do you disagree with the vision of the emperor?" ”
Qiu Jue opened his mouth, and everyone reacted, this King of Huainan was indeed too arrogant, and he could not worship the king when he entered the main hall.
This is the emperor's choice today, so he looks down on the present, that is, he does not recognize the vision of the emperor.
King Huainan immediately sank his face and said coldly: "Did the imperial brother have a choice?" Didn't you say that only this one son is still alive? If the second son was there at that time, would it still be his turn? ”
His tone was cold, no matter which word he could hear, he was 10,000 dissatisfied with the current emperor.
As soon as these words came out, even the second son frowned.
I really can't figure it out, what is this King of Huainan entering the palace for?
Help him?
No, it was for his life.
"King Huainan, please be careful." The second son also put away the elegant smile of the past.
The fair face added a bit of majesty and sharpness.
"Second brother, what Uncle Huang said is right." The emperor spoke again, admitting very seriously, "Actually, the reason why my father passed on to me was because my father thought that his brothers had been killed by bad people, and I was the only son of my father, so he could only be passed on to me. ”
The emperor stood up directly, looked at everyone and said, "The emperor has never ruled the world, and he has never taken respecting the heavens and ancestors as his first priority. Respect for the heavens and the ancestors of the truth of the soft and far-reaching, recuperate the common people, a total of the four seas for the benefit, the heart of the day for the heart, to protect the state in the future, to rule in the chaos, night and night, sleep is not to be missed, for the long-term national plan, close to it.
Now I have been on the throne for more than a year, but there is no achievement, the security of the country is competing for governance, and it is necessary to be both civil and military.
Tei announced: From now on, the throne will be passed on to the second ......"
His words were equivalent to an oracle, but before he could finish them, he was interrupted.
Lord Zuo Xiang hurriedly woke up from the fright, and knocked over the table when he stood up, but he didn't care, and knelt down on the hall with a bang, shouting loudly, "The emperor thinks twice, don't ......
His voice was so loud that it directly overshadowed Moshi's voice.
Next, the regent also strode out, knelt on one knee, but stared straight at the emperor, and the majestic voice shook the sky, "Please take back the holy oracle." ”
Then there was Master Taifu, who had just woken up from a dream, his legs were trembling, and down was Li Jingzhi and Liubu Shangshu......
But in an instant, all the officials knelt on the top of the main hall and shouted for the emperor to take back the holy message.
Even the second son is the same.
Moshi stood on the steps, silent for a long time, his expression was very calm.
The gaze of the Eastern Emperor Song Qian can be said to have stayed between his own square inches all the time, and he is in a fugue state at all.
The Empress Dowager was shocked by this scene, and Chun Tao next to her hurriedly comforted her.
The Empress Dowager closed her eyes and no longer looked at the scene in front of her, but whispered: "It's late, he came back too late, the emperor has already become a climate, at least, no minister dares to openly challenge his majesty on the surface." ”
Her voice was very small, and only Chun Tao, who was attached to her, could hear it, but Chun Tao was still so frightened that she hurriedly asked the Queen Mother not to say anything.
The three princes of Tanglin and the people of Lingnan are all watching the excitement.
They just came to attend a concubine selection banquet, but they didn't expect to see such a lively scene.
The scene fell into extreme silence for a while.
King Huainan shook his sleeves again, snorted coldly, and said: "The reason why the emperor is the Son of Heaven is because of Chrysostom and Yuyan, how can you ministers influence him?" ”
"The prince knows that the emperor is a golden mouth at this time?"
In the quiet hall, a female voice suddenly came, and everyone followed the voice, but it was the Queen Mother Xi who spoke.
"What does the Queen Mother of the West mean?"
King Huainan looked at her playfully, and was not angry because she asked herself.
Qiu Jue snorted several times in his heart, and then suppressed the urge to run over and beat him.
Thinking that this old pervert still wanted to take her as a concubine at the beginning, I was disgusted and wanted to vomit.
Although this is also a beautiful man.
"There's nothing interesting about this palace." Qiu Jue held the shelf and said lightly: "This palace just wants to say that the emperor is not a person who can be influenced by ministers, nor is he a person who you can ignore the prince, he is the son of heaven, the heaven of the Celestial Empire, and the master of this Celestial Empire, if you don't respect him today, it is disloyal to the Celestial Empire and disrespectful to the first emperor." ”
The more Qiu Jue spoke, the heavier her voice became, and finally she stood up directly, facing the King of Huainan, and even looked at those who quietly raised their heads to look at her, until everyone's eyes were withdrawn, she sneered and continued to speak to the King of Huainan.
