Because of the intervention of Qi Aojun's case, the progress can only be said to be stagnant, and several people who originally accused Fearless of molesting Miss Cheng Guogong temporarily changed their confessions, saying that they had recognized the wrong person.

Of course, this is the credit of Qi Aojun, as for the means used, only he knows the details.

The rest of the people who became the Duke of Cheng only saw a back and a waist card, but no one saw it with their own eyes, and the evidence was not conclusive.

Without substantial evidence, it cannot be proved that Wu Anhou is guilty, Qi Aojun argued with reason, but Qi Shaobao bit Fearless to death, and finally King Rong came out to mediate and let Fearless go home first, but he removed all his positions.

This is exactly the result that King Rong wants, it is best to be convicted, and if he can't be convicted, he must also hand over the military power of the Imperial Forest Army.

Sitting in the Zhaohua Palace, Jiao Niang could already feel the heavy oppression, like the feeling of being overwhelmed by the army.

After the fearless resignation at home, the right minister also said that he was sick in bed, but in a few days, half of the people in the court have changed, and the relevant rumors are more like sitting down, almost everyone has already decided that the new emperor who has just ascended the throne for less than half a year has died in the enemy country.

And this is what is being discussed in the court today, early this morning, Duan Youen, the deputy general who accompanied the emperor on his personal expedition, brought back the news of the emperor's death.

"The emperor is ambitious, Ze is the world, I don't want to live in the sky, I died young, I mourn and cry. ”

Cheng Guogong cried miserably, wiping tears from his sleeves.

"Cheng Guogong should take care of his health. Others persuaded.

Cheng Guogong pushed the man's hand, and then said: "Although the old man is old, but when the court arrives at this time, the old man has to come out and say something." ”

"Chengguo Gong, you are an old minister, if you have anything to say, it doesn't hurt to say it. Ying Ao covered his sleeves and cried, heard the words, and raised his head.

Cheng Guogong arched his hand to him and said, "Since King Rong asked the old minister to say it, then the old minister licked his face and said it." ”

He looked at the crowd and said in a sonorous voice: "The country cannot be without a king for a day. ”

Hearing this, everyone's eyes were dim and unclear, with different expressions, you look at me, I look at you, each with a ghost, but they didn't dare to be the first to speak.

Hua Junyi's eyebrows were furrowed, and he looked at him, "Cheng Guogong said this at this time, it is too arbitrary, how can he determine that the emperor is dead based on one person? If he is really dead, where is the body?"

As soon as Cheng Guogong was questioned suddenly, he was choked for a while, and his expression flickered.

Seeing this, King Rong glanced at Qi Shaobao, Qi Shaobao understood, and raised his head and said: "General Duan is a deputy general who follows the emperor, how can his words be faked?"

Duan Youen looked upright, "Of course, how can such a big thing be a child's play?" straightened his chest and backed his hands, facing everyone's questioning eyes, "If the emperor is safe and sound, how dare I dare to curse the emperor?

He made a heartbroken expression and knelt on the ground and cried, "I have long been torn apart by the soldiers who left the country. ”

After speaking, his eyes drifted to King Rong's face.

Everyone was in an uproar, and the Imperial Doctor almost fainted with excitement, and slowly knelt down to the dragon chair with his old body propped up, crying bitterly, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, how can you go like this, what should Daqin do in the future?"

Suddenly, there were one cry after another in the court, like a mourning exam.

After a while, Zhuo Taishi wiped his tears and helped the Yushi Lord up, the Yushi Lord is the oldest official in the dynasty, for Daqin can be described as painstaking, for the respect of several generations of emperors, even the invincible Zhuo Taishi in front of him has to humbly call a "student", Zhuo Taishi said: "Don't be too sad, now the emperor is in trouble, there is no monarch in the court, just like a plate of loose sand, if this news is known by the world, Siyi takes the opportunity to commit it, Daqin is in danger, at this time you still need to preside over the overall situation." ”

Doctor Yu Shi trembled, "What can the old man do? The old man's bones, I don't know how many days he can live, God, why don't you take the old man's life and exchange it for the emperor!"

Qi Shaobao saw the stitches and said: "Old Yushi, what Taishi Zhuo said is right, now we can't be sad, once the news of the emperor's death from leaving the country comes out, the neighboring barbarians will definitely be eyeing my Great Qin, according to the humble opinion of the younger generations, it is the right thing to elect a new emperor as soon as possible to stabilize the government." ”

King Xian and King Jun glanced at each other, and their hearts were ready to move. Who wouldn't want to be an emperor?

"Establish a new emperor?" Doctor Yu Shi was in a trance for a moment, and hesitated for a long time, "For a while, who can take on this heavy responsibility." Suddenly remembered, patted his thigh, "By the way, the emperor once said that he intends to make the eldest prince the crown prince." The eldest prince was born to the queen, the queen has both ability and political integrity, and is famous, the eldest prince has excellent qualifications, has the spirit of a king, and is the only candidate. ”

King Rong's face was terrified, and Qi Shaobao immediately said: "Although the emperor once said that he would make the eldest prince the crown prince, the eldest prince's age is too young, and as the saying goes: The lord is young and the mother is strong, and there will be chaos." Once the eldest prince ascends the throne and the queen becomes the queen mother, she will definitely control the government and the government, which is contrary to the royal ancestral teachings. The old imperial history, Empress Lu and Emperor Wu are all lessons from the past. ”

Hua Jun's face turned red angrily, and he said angrily: "Qi Shaobao, you are so honest that you dare to criticize the queen mother here, and compare the queen with a vicious woman like Empress Lu Wuhuang, your heart can be punished!"

No matter what festivals the brothers and sisters have had over the years, when they have something, they are brothers, and it is not ambiguous.

Qi Shaobao arched his hand, although his tone was much gentler, but his expression was still unruly, "Uncle Guo is serious, the lower officials don't dare to criticize the mother, but he is just explaining the facts, when we are studying, doesn't the master often teach us to learn from history?"

Cao Heyang has always only watched a play, he is a slippery person, and he can become the editor of the Hanlin Academy because of a head that sees the wind and steers and a speculative scheming.

The little calculations of these ministers, as a bystander, looked in his eyes and his heart was like a mirror. In his opinion, if you want to save your life, if you want to have a foothold in the court, you should be less involved.

He listened to a few words and swords, and suddenly glanced at it, and saw a red skirt corner on the edge of the light yarn behind the dragon chair, and calculated in his heart to guess how many points.

So he said: "Lord Qi's words, forgive this official for not agreeing." Everyone knows that the queen's character is precious, when the emperor was framed by the villain and degraded, the queen mother resolutely followed, and the emperor ascended the throne, named the queen mother, the mother of the world, loving the people, and being loved by the people. The Hua family is Niangniang's maiden family, but she did not let the queen give her mother's family an official title like Emperor Lu Houwu, which is enough to see Niangniang's noble and selfless character. It's right for Master Qi to learn from history, but don't forget, you have to speak according to the facts. ”
