Chapter 58: Murong Cheng'an announces the verdict
The queen and Murong Lang couldn't accept such a reality.
The queen planned for so long, but she didn't expect to fail. Murong Chengan is not stupid, not only has he regained his former shrewdness, but also has strong martial arts and has won the hearts of the people.
The queen couldn't imagine that even if she poisoned the emperor unconscious, she still couldn't stop the emperor from passing the throne to Murong Cheng'an. She doesn't understand, what is she inferior to Yu Wenshu? Why is the emperor so infatuated with the woman of the Shengning Kingdom?!
Murong Lang seemed to have fallen from heaven to hell. I thought that today would be a good day for him to win the throne, but I didn't expect that not only did he miss the throne, but even his bloodline was denied.
Murong Chengan also didn't expect that his father would make such a holy decree. Even if he is stupid, does his father still want to pass the throne to him?
At this moment, Murong Chengan very much wanted to take the imperial physician to the emperor's bedroom, he hoped that the imperial physician could wake up the emperor, but he didn't know if it was too late!
Murong Chengan really wanted to ask his father in person, what happened back then, did his father believe in his mother!
But the matter in the main hall must be settled first. Murong Chengan endured his temperament and walked up the steps step by step.
Murong Lang was still sitting on the dragon chair, gritting his teeth and refusing to come down. He is still immersed in his own world......
The queen has completely conceded defeat...... In her life, she has lost completely. Her husband's love, she lost to Yu Wenshu, her son, lost to Yu Wenshu's son!
Murong Lang tried to insult Ye Lingxi in the Taimiao, and Murong Chengan did not forget it. He wrote down all these accounts, one by one. Now it's time to settle accounts.
I saw Murong Cheng'an's figure flashing, and he came to Murong Lang's side. Murong Chengan's right hand mercilessly pinched Murong Lang's neck, and lifted Murong Lang's whole person up.
Murong Lang's neck was pinched, his breathing was not smooth, and soon his face turned purple, and he could only kick in the air with his limbs.
The queen on the side rushed over like crazy, Murong Cheng didn't reply, and slapped the queen to the bottom of the steps with one palm. The queen fell to the ground of the main hall and immediately fainted.
Seeing that the situation was out of control, General Ye just wanted to rush forward to stop Murong Cheng'an, but General Lin discovered his intentions early. General Lin was agile and subdued the elderly General Ye in a few moves.
General Ye lamented in his heart that he was old and completely lost the level of martial arts he had when he was young. In desperation, he could only watch Murong Lang's desperately struggling limbs gradually droop.
Murong Lang was strangled to death by Murong Cheng in the main hall of the palace like this, next to the dragon chair that he was thinking about.
In fact, Murong Chengan didn't want his hands to be stained with the blood of Murong Lang, a scumbag, but he needed to use Murong Lang's death to deter the princelings' ministers.
Sure enough, the princelings saw Murong Lang being strangled to death with their own eyes, and they were so frightened that they knelt down again and again, shouting for mercy.
The royalist ministers had already been converted after seeing the holy decree, not to mention the ministers of the Anwang party.
Although there is no dragon robe, Murong Cheng'an's upright posture and majestic momentum sitting on the dragon chair are enough to bring the majesty of the new emperor to the ministers in the main hall.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
In the bowing sound of the ministers, Murong Chengan officially succeeded to the throne.
The first thing Murong Chengan did after succeeding to the throne was to announce that Yu Wenshu, the imperial concubine of the previous dynasty, was framed to death by the queen of the previous dynasty, and was kicked out of the royal jade after her death, which was really an unjust case.
Now that the truth is revealed, it should be announced to the world, and at the same time, the identity of the royal jade of Emperor Yuwen will be restored, and the tablet will be put back in the royal ancestral hall.
As for the queen of the previous dynasty, she caused trouble in the palace, fornicated with the guards and gave birth to evil seeds, confusing the royal bloodline, and her crime should be punished. When Ling Chi was executed, the five horses split their bodies and kicked out the royal jade.
Murong Lang is not of royal blood and does not deserve to be given the surname "Murong", when he kicks out the royal jade, the body is dragged to the mass grave.
The guard Wang Laifu committed adultery with the queen of the previous dynasty, causing trouble in the harem, and his crime should be punished, and he was put in prison, waiting for the emperor to fall.
On the issue of dealing with Wang Laifu, Murong Chengan still has some black bellies. Wang Laifu could have been executed together with Ling Chi, but Murong Chengan did not directly execute Wang Laifu, but put him in prison. The emperor is his own green hat, so let's wait for him to wake up and solve it himself.
Concubine Min of the former dynasty, and the queen of the former dynasty were embarrassed, and the following crimes were committed, framing the concubine of Emperor Yuwen, the crime is unforgivable, and Ling Chi should be executed, but he repented sincerely and gave him a glass of poisonous wine.
General Ye bebehaved badly in the palace hall and attempted to murder the new emperor, and should be sentenced to death, but remembering his advanced age and dedication to heaven and country, General Ye was specially allowed to return to his hometown.
Murong Chengan did not kill General Ye's Mansion, but only cut General Ye's official position and asked General Ye's Mansion to be a common man.
This is because Murong Chengan is not a brutal person. General Ye's Mansion did not participate in the murder of his mother, and Emperor Yuwen's concubine was completely a victim of the harem battle. For the queen and Concubine Min who murdered Emperor Yuwen's concubine, Murong Chengan mercilessly avenged his mother's concubine.
However, General Ye's Mansion has made indelible contributions to defending the country, and Murong Chengan will not chill those who sincerely serve the country. It's just that in recent years, the border passes have been relatively stable, there has been no war, and General Ye's Mansion has gradually deviated from the original intention of fighting for the country, and began to form gangs and factions in the court, and the party is the same as the other. This is the real reason why General Ye was cut off his official position.
The ministers present are all human spirits, so they can naturally see the twists and turns in this. Murong Chengan's sentence seems harsh, but in fact it is very fair and just right.
As for the Prime Minister's Mansion, Murong Chengan did not give any verdict for the time being. Because the Prime Minister's Mansion is Ye Lingxi's maiden home after all, and there is still the mysterious Aunt Mei in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Murong Chengan plans to discuss with Ye Lingxi before making a decision.
But the prime minister is anxious...... After all, his third daughter Ye Yuxiang has become Murong Lang's person, and now Murong Lang has not only lost his life, but even his identity is fake. Ye Yuxiang seems to be already a waste chess, and the next glory of the Prime Minister's Mansion still needs to rely on others.
Ye Lingxi is unreliable, although she is nominally the prime minister's daughter, but the prime minister has never given Ye Lingxi a little fatherly love, and he poisoned her and married a fool. Now that the foolish king has become the new emperor in a blink of an eye, Ye Lingxi's identity has also risen with the tide, and the prime minister is really worried that Ye Lingxi will settle accounts after the autumn!
The only thing that pleased the prime minister was his second daughter Ye Yuzhu, who was too prescient! The holy decree made by the Emperor Taishang in the New Year, logically speaking, should also be counted now. Ye Yuzhu has become the last hope of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the Prime Minister is determined to firmly grasp the marriage of the Emperor Taishang, and he is bound to let Ye Yuzhu enter the palace as a concubine!
So, the prime minister was bold and took a step forward tremblingly.
"Your Majesty, I don't know, the Emperor Taishang gave the wedding ...... for the little girl at the New Year's banquet Now, can you still count? ”
Originally, the prime minister had no sense of existence in the main hall, and the ministers were still immersed in the fact that King An was not stupid and did not come back to his senses. Now that the prime minister took the initiative to speak, the eyes of the ministers looking at the prime minister immediately changed.
This prime minister is the most stable winner......
Of the four daughters, one died, one married the prince of the former dynasty and became the princess of the former dynasty, one married King An, and the other was still the side concubine of King An who did not pass through the door. No matter which one of King An and the crown prince of the previous dynasty succeeds in seizing the throne, the prime minister is a stable uncle of the country! Tut-tut...... It's amazing!
However, everyone was very puzzled that the prime minister was so anxious to propose the marriage of the emperor to the new emperor. After all, the prime minister already has a daughter in the harem.
Although Princess An is a concubine, she is just the concubine of King An, and King An has no other concubines, and the possibility of Princess An being established is not small. Why is the prime minister anxious about another daughter's entry into the palace?
As for the reason for this incident, Murong Chengan naturally knew it.
The prime minister's actions just confirmed Murong Chengan's suspicions all along.
Ye Lingxi must not be the prime minister's biological daughter, and the prime minister knows about this matter!
Regarding Ye Lingxi's life experience, Murong Chengan has been instructing Wan'an Palace to step up the investigation, but he has never had any clue. The more you can't find it, the more it shows that Ye Lingxi's life experience is not simple. This made Murong Chengan very uneasy.
Now that the prime minister is so worried that the emperor's holy decree for Ye Yuzhu's marriage will not be counted, Murong Chengan plans to take advantage of the prime minister's impatience and find an opportunity to test the prime minister.
How did the prime minister and Aunt Mei meet? Why is the prime minister willing to raise a daughter for someone else? The answers to these questions may provide some valuable clues about Ye Lingxi's life experience.
In a short period of time, Murong Cheng'an's mind turned a thousand times. He didn't want to let go of any clues that might find out Ye Lingxi's identity.
Thinking of that little woman, Murong Chengan couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. After dealing with the affairs in the palace, he immediately went back to King An's Mansion to find her. I don't know if she woke up......
Murong Chengan thought about it, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly uncontrollably, and his originally cold expression gradually warmed up like ice and snow melting.
The prime minister was overjoyed, he expected that it must be Murong Cheng'an who was very satisfied with his second daughter, so he would be so happy when he mentioned this matter.
"In this matter, when the Emperor Taishang wakes up, the Emperor will make his own decision."
In the end, Murong Chengan gave the prime minister an ambiguous answer.
If the Emperor can wake up, then Murong Cheng'an can naturally let the Emperor take back his fate. If the Emperor Taishang can't wake up, then Murong Chengan can still refuse the prime minister.
Now, the initiative is completely in the hands of Murong Chengan. He will not marry Ye Yuzhu, nor will he marry anyone else. In this life, he has Ye Lingxi, which is enough.
Although the prime minister was unwilling, he did not dare to question Murong Cheng'an's judgment that "the emperor will definitely wake up", so he had to kowtow and accept his life.
Murong Cheng'an, who was focusing on the court, didn't notice that a thin figure had appeared outside the door of the main hall for a long time. The figure was so thin and slender that it seemed as if a gust of wind could blow her away.
She looked intently at the new emperor above the main hall, her face like ashes.
That figure is Ye Lingxi.
