Chapter 534: Restitution
In the blink of an eye, not only did the gates open, but even the moat was lowered by the madly angry people.
On the other side of the river, the army was solemn and quiet, ready to enter the city.
Tao Shuo, who was standing on the city wall, shouted: "Your Majesty, the minister is incompetent, so he has to go first!" β
Seeing that Tao Shuo was about to jump, Zhao Shangshu quickly hugged him.
Tao Shuo scolded angrily: "You let go of me!" I can't stop you from being willing to welcome the rebels into the city, but if you want me to join you as a subordinate, bow your knees to the rebels and thieves, don't think about it! β
Zhao Shangshu said seriously: "Lord Tao, you still have rotten vegetable leaves hanging on your head, and it is a bit unimpressive to die in the city like this." β
Tao Shuo froze, forgetting to struggle.
At this time, Lao Shangshu's physical strength accumulated by eating two servings of roast pig's head at a restaurant was reflected, and he neatly dragged Tao Shuo down.
When Tao Shuo reacted and wanted to jump the city wall again, he was already surrounded by all the ministers.
"Master Tao, you can't just die. If you leave it alone, won't the emperor have no one to worry about......"
In fact, most of the officials pondered that if Master Tao, the head of the hundred officials, jumped the city wall in front of thousands of people and the army, what would they do?
If you don't jump, you will be greedy for life and afraid of death.
Let's jump - look at the common people who throw rotten vegetable leaves, they can't get a good reputation if they jump.
In short, Master Tao must not die.
The ministers who reacted invariably cast admiring glances at Zhao Shangshu.
Qian Shangshu, who had the best relationship with Zhao Shangshu, whispered: "Old Zhao, you reacted quite quickly. β
No wonder the old boy wins every time he grabs vegetables.
Zhao Shangshu looked reserved: "As an official in the same dynasty, how can you have no feelings." β
Ministers: "......"
With such a delay, part of the army has already entered the city.
Wei Han, who was walking in the forefront, rode on his horse and turned to look in the direction of the city gate.
The ministers standing on the wall did not know what to do for a while.
Zhao Shangshu sighed: "Let's go down, we must always face it, we must talk about it, we can't hang it on the city wall as salted fish." β
When the ministers heard this, they were right, and silently lined up to go down the city wall.
Zhao Shangshu was pushed out by the ministers and accosted Wei Han: "The prince is coming back......"
Wei Han's expression was calm, and his tone was gentle: "I was concerned about the body of the imperial brother, so I came back." β
Zhao Shangshu was stunned.
The ministers were also stunned.
What does King Kaiyang mean by this?
"Ladies and gentlemen, let's wait until I ask the imperial brother for peace."
The ministers became more and more confused, and they followed Wei Han and others to the direction of the imperial city with anxiety.
In front of the Qianqing Gate of the previous dynasty, Zhou Shan stopped Wei Han with a mortal determination: "The emperor is recuperating, please don't disturb the prince!" β
The ambition of the wolf son of the king of Kaiyang, if he saw the emperor become like that, he would have no scruples.
In fact, he also knows that doing this is tantamount to using his mantis arm as a car, and he may not be able to delay it for even a day, but there are some things that he knows he can't do, but he is just worthy of his conscience.
"There is something, this king wants to ask the royal brother."
"What's the matter?" Zhou Shan looked at Wei Han vigilantly.
Wei Han looked at the young man beside Governor Luo.
The ministers thought that he was looking at Luo Dadudu, but when Luo Chen came out of the crowd, he noticed this young man.
There is still youth between the young man's eyebrows, but he has a calmness and restraint that is rare at this age.
He opened the box he had brought with him, and took out the secret edict inside without hesitation.
When the bright yellow secret edict was slowly revealed, the ministers' faces suddenly changed greatly.
Tao Shuo, who was the first assistant and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, recognized the secret edict logo at a glance, and couldn't help blurting out: "Taizu's edict? β
The civil and military officials gasped in unison.
What happened, why did the son of the governor of Luo have the edict of Taizu in his hands?
Wei Han said lightly: "Lord Tao, you are the head of the hundred officials, please come and read this edict of Taizu." β
Tao Shuo stretched out his trembling hands to take the edict from Luo Chen's hand, and barely stabilized his mind and read it: "The edict says, my righteous brother Zhennan Wang gave way, and ascended the throne as the emperor...... If the descendants of the Wei family have no way, or no bloodline, then they will still be located in the Qi family with this edict. Announce to the world, and make the salty envoy known. β
After the edict was read, the needle fell in the hall for a while.
Wei Han left time for the hundred officials to digest, and said: "If there is chaos today, the imperial brother has no heirs, it is because this king wants to consult the imperial brother's intentions." β
Zhou Shan's eyes lit up, and he asked in a trembling voice: "Is the prince ...... There is no prince in the country......"
Whether it is a rebellion or a forced palace, it is a foregone conclusion that the country will change hands. In this case, whether the emperor was still in the Qi family because he had no heirs to obey the edict of Taizu, or because he was brutal and unreasonable, what was left in the history books was a completely different record.
The former can be talked about over time, while the latter becomes an undignified tyrant of the country.
In the case of inability to change the result, it is not in vain for him to serve the emperor if he can leave some dignity for the emperor.
Wei Han smiled: "Yes, it is not a way to have no prince in the country after all." β
Zhou Shan's tense body relaxed, lowered his eyes and said, "The prince will go to see the emperor with the slaves." β
The ministers watched Wei Han leave with Zhou Shan, and they already had the answer in their hearts: I think the news of the emperor's throne will soon be spread.
In this way, it is justified to have the edict of Taizu, there is no need for blood to flow into a river, and they don't have to bear the infamy of having no integrity.
Thinking like this, the ministers looked at Governor Luo.
Tao Shuo opened his mouth and asked, "Metropolitan Governor, why is Taizu's edict in the hands of Ling Lang?" β
Governor Luo glanced at Luo Chen deeply, and his face was sad: "That's a long story......
After listening to him, the ministers were dumbfounded.
The only son of Governor Luo turned out to be the orphan of King Zhennan, which is too bizarre and tortuous.
"Then the current king of Zhennanβ" Some people were suspicious.
What if Governor Luo pretended to let his son sit on the dragon chair?
Of course, they can't do that. Under absolute control, it is not surprising to refer to a deer as a horse.
"That kid is in Zhennan Wangfu, why don't you come and ask." Governor Luo said lightly.
Soon the boy and the guards appeared in front of the ministers.
Facing the civil and military officials, the young man timidly hid behind the guards, his eyes full of uneasiness.
When everyone saw this, they sighed in their hearts: Looking at this child's performance, it would be really worrying if he sat in that seat......
After listening to Tao Shuo's inquiry, the guard said: "He is indeed not the orphan of the prince, but one of the stand-ins for the little prince back then......"
At this point, all the truth has been revealed, and even if some people still have suspicions, they can only think about it in their hearts.
Soon it was written by the eunuch Zhou Shan, and the edict of the eunuch Qi Yan with the palm seal spread all over the world: Emperor Yong'an was still located in Qi's family, and Qi Rui, the widow of the king of Zhennan, ascended the throne and became the emperor.
The throne changed smoothly, and the people in the capital not only did not experience the suffering of turmoil, but settled down: they finally no longer have to worry about losing their relatives at any time.
As for the wars in various places, that is something that the imperial court should consider.
War and chaos naturally need to be resolved.
After Luo Chen, who had changed his name to Qi Rui, ascended the throne, Governor Luo and Governor Lei were still responsible for protecting the safety of the imperial city and the capital, and Wei Han once again embarked on the road of counterinsurgency.
On the day of departure, the new emperor led hundreds of civil and military officials to send Wei Han outside the city, but he politely refused: "There is no need to mobilize the people like this, and it is not too late to meet again when the world settles down and I come back." β
Luo Chen bowed his hand to Wei Han: "I wish the prince a triumphant." β
The civil and military officials all bowed their hands together: "I wish the prince a triumphant." β
Wei Han clenched his fists and strode out of the main hall.
The Biwa Zhu Wall is still solemn, but in Wei Han's eyes, it is less depressed in the past and a little more open.
Walking out of the imperial city, he saw the girl waiting under the weeping willows not far away, and Wei Han hurriedly greeted him.
"Miss Luo." He looked at her, his eyes burning, "I'm leaving, do you want to send me?" β
The person he wanted to send him to, one person in front of him was enough.
Luo Sheng smiled and nodded: "Okay." β
The two bathed in the morning light and led their horses side by side towards the city gate.
The early morning of June was bright and quiet, Wei Han looked at the girl's calm side face, pursed his lips and said, "Miss Luo, you didn't send me last time." β
Luo Sheng turned his head sideways to meet those eyes, and saw a faint grievance in them.
She was silent for a moment, and then said softly, "I sent it." β
It's just that I didn't want to leave each other with extravagant hopes at that time, so I could only hide and watch him go away silently.
In her heart, there are no regrets.
Fortunately, this time, he can finally be sent openly.
Wei Han paused, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised: "Really? β
"What are you lying to do?" Luo Sheng wanted to be calmer, but thinking that the person in front of him was gone and didn't know when he would come back, he couldn't really be calm.
"The prince is out on an expedition, so you must pay attention to safety." She whispered softly.
"I will."
The world was quiet for a while, and the two walked forward silently.
The normally long streets seem to have become shorter all of a sudden, and the city gate is just ahead.
Wei Han looked at her fixedly, and said softly, "Miss Luo, just send it here." β
"That'...... I won't send the prince outside the city. β
There was a smile in Wei Han's eyes, and the smile was reluctant: "Then you wait for me to come back." β
Luo Sheng nodded slightly.
Wei Han's hand holding the reins tightened, and he suddenly approached her, and landed a dragonfly kiss on his smooth forehead, then turned over and ran forward.
