Chapter 145: Ascending the Throne (1)
Gongzixi looked at Emperor Yan with a leisurely smile.
"Speaking of which, Erchen still has to thank his uncle for that—"
Gongzixi deliberately emphasized the word "uncle", so angry that Emperor Yan couldn't stop pounding the bed with his hands, and coughed again.
"If it weren't for my uncle's framing design, where would today's sons and daughters be?"
"Rebel!"
Emperor Yan struggled to get up reluctantly. "Someone, someone—"
Gongzixi looked at Emperor Yan, who was so majestic in the past, but now he was so pitiful, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise an arc.
"Uncle is angry. The people you are talking about are also the people of the sons, where will they listen to their uncle's words! ”
Emperor Yan didn't expect Gongzixi to buy all those people so easily, and he couldn't help but sigh.
Gongzixi looked at his pitiful appearance and said, "Uncle thinks he is very popular?" If so, why are they so decisive? ”
Emperor Yan sneered.
"Murong Xi, so ...... Are you going to force the palace to rebel? ”
Gongzixi chuckled with some disdain and raised his eyebrows lightly. "This isn't forcing the palace to rebel, right?"
As he spoke, he took out an edict from his sleeve.
"This is the edict of my uncle to make Gongzi Yu the prince——"
Emperor Yan looked at the edict in surprise and surprise, but he didn't expect it to fall into Gongzixi's hands.
"You...... What do you want? ”
"I didn't want to do anything, I just wanted to tell my uncle. After your death, your son will be the new monarch who is rightfully named, as long as you get rid of Gongzi Yu, how can you force the palace, and how can you rebel? ”
Emperor Yan closed his eyes tightly.
"You and Ziyu have a deep brotherhood, and you can't bear to harm him......"
"Brotherhood? Scold! ”
Gongzixi looked away contemptuously and impatiently. "Nothing else, with your constant comparison, it will be difficult for Erchen to regard him as a sibling!"
Emperor Yan exhaled deeply.
"Maybe it's the nature of the sky, the widow took the throne of the royal brother, and now he wants to watch you kill the widow and take the throne of Ziyu......"
Gongzixi looked at him coldly, not feeling that he was sincerely repentant, but as if he was shirking his guilt.
"Actually, why don't you want to forget those things and live a peaceful life in the palace? But one by one, you have to deceive people too much, and if you have to drive your retainers to a dead end, you can't bear it, don't blame me for being ruthless. ”
Since he was young, he had encountered poisoning alone countless times.
Emperor Yan didn't answer anything, just closed his eyes helplessly.
"Thousands of mistakes, all the fault of the widow. It's okay if you want the throne, but please spare Ziyu's life......"
Emperor Yan said and coughed again.
Gongzixi looked at his pitiful appearance, but he didn't relent.
How to repay virtue with virtue?
"These, they are not under your jurisdiction. You are at fault, but Gongzi Yu doesn't want to live in peace! ”
Gongzixi spoke softly, but to Emperor Yan's ears, it was as harsh as thunder. Two lines of tears fell from the corners of his eyes, and he lost his breath.
Gongzixi saw that Emperor Yan had passed away, so he walked out of Chaoyang Palace.
When the servant saw Gongzixi coming out, he hurriedly greeted him.
"Oh, Your Highness, I don't know—"
Gongzixi looked at the palace in the distance and said lightly: "Your Majesty is gone, tell all the ministers to listen to the decree in front of the Chaoyang Palace." ”
There was a burst of joy in his heart, and he hurriedly ran down.
【Gyeonghwa Palace】
Fang Xian entered the hall in a panic.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty has passed away!"
【In front of Chaoyang Palace】
The courtiers rushed to kneel in front of the temple, beating their chests and crying.
Gongzixi saw that these people had arrived, so he glanced at Gongziyu, and gave Zhongchang a look.
Zhong Chang wiped his tears and wept bitterly, and wailed: "Your Majesty has passed away, and now I will pass the throne to His Second Highness——"
When the ministers heard this, they began to talk one after another.
"The second highness is the oldest, and it is not wrong for the eldest son to succeed to the throne now......"
"Your Majesty valued the Third Highness the most during his lifetime, how could he pass the throne to the Second Highness......"
"Why didn't Your Majesty set up a prince early......"
“……”
The voices of these discussions reached Gongzixi's ears one by one.
Gongzi Yu listened to the discussion of the courtiers, so he stopped: "Who is the father's inheritance, that is the father's decision, you lords, don't talk about it again!" ”
What is the pretending to be high at this time!
Gongzixi's face did not show any expression, but he was very disdainful in his heart.
Seeing that someone was still supporting Gongzi Yu, Zhongchang said: "Before Your Majesty died, His Royal Highness Second Highness served on his side, and His Majesty did personally tell His Royal Highness that he would pass on the throne to him!" ”
At this time, a minister stepped forward.
"Zhongchang waiter, there is no basis for what you say, you have to come up with some evidence!"
Evidence?
Now the middle attendant is stupid. Emperor Yan did not pass the throne to Gongzixi at all, where would there be evidence?
Zhongchang was flustered, so he hurriedly looked at Gongzixi.
Gongzixi calmly took out the edict from his sleeve - the edict of establishing Gongzi Yu as the emperor.
"If you don't believe me—"
As he spoke, he walked slowly down the steps again. "Look at this edict."
Luo Qianling and Lan Qingyan both knew the content of the edict, and they couldn't help but sweat at Gongzixi's reckless approach.
In Dongyan, Emperor Yan's edict can only be read by those who serve and receive the edict, and if others read the edict, it is a capital offense.
It's up to the minister to see if he dares to risk his life.
Gongzixi approached the minister step by step, his face was not gloomy, but it made the minister shake a little. He hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Second Highness, the minister doesn't dare!" The minister was just worried about Jiangshan Sheji, and he didn't doubt the intention of the Second Highness! ”
When Gongzixi heard this, he stopped and smiled at the minister.
"This son naturally knows that the adult is a loyal and patriotic person. Adults, please get up. ”
Seeing that this turmoil subsided, Lan Qingyan and Luo Qianling breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, there is no danger.
After all this storm, none of the ministers dared to speak falsely. They threw their sleeves one after another, knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!" ”
Gongzixi watched everyone bow their heads at the bottom of the stairs, raised their heads again, and looked at the Yuyu pavilions and pavilions in Yan Palace, and couldn't help but sigh that this world is really unpredictable.
"Everyone, love Qing Ping."
As he spoke, he glanced at the waiter slightly. Zhongchang understood and immediately said, "Ladies and gentlemen, our family still has something important to say!" ”
Zhong Chang said, and glanced at Gongzi Yu in horror.
Someone is going to stand up and be a wicked person!
Gongzi Yu seemed to notice the subtle expression of Zhong Changshi, but he didn't think much about it. At this time, Gongzixi had already ascended the throne, and he was really happy for Gongzixi in his heart.
