Chapter 143: True and False Edicts
Seeing that the five princes had a wry smile on their faces, and showed a look of embarrassment, Prince Jing changed his words and said: "If Princess Yu does not agree to be the new monarch, it can only explain one problem, and the unknown origin of the five princes is fake!" “
"Who said that the five princes are of unknown origin? I can prove that he is the Fifth Prince! Isn't it just an edict of succession? What's the big deal, I'll give it to you! Let me in! Oh my godfather....... come and save my son's life....... come and save my son's life........" Just when the main hall was in chaos and noisy, the sound of an urn shouted outside the gate of the golden temple.
The eyes of the five princes lit up, it was him! He's back!
Just when the fifth prince was difficult to deal with, a very familiar voice came to mind outside the hall, a subtle smile rose on his lips, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Who is making noise outside the hall?" ”
The guards guarding the door hurriedly ran into the main hall and knelt in the corner of the hall to reply: "Long live the lord, a self-proclaimed ....... general will not dare to say." The guards couldn't say why.
The fifth prince waved his hand: "Forgive you for your innocence, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
Only then did the guard kowtow and said, "There is a person who claims to be the emperor's godson, and he must break into the palace to see him." ”
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and the prince Jing who was sitting were all taken aback, this urn sound sounded like this person should be about forty years old, and the fifth prince was only in his twenties, where could there be such a big godson?! Everyone thought that the five princes must be angry, but who expected, instead of being angry, he laughed, and ordered the guards to let the people who broke into the palace in: "Oh? The good man brought him into the temple. ”
The guards obviously didn't understand, and knelt in place in a daze, and the fifth prince had to repeat: "Quickly bring the person who broke into the palace to the Golden Palace!" This king wants to see who this godson of mine is. ”
"Yes, yes......." The guards hurriedly took the order, thinking in their hearts that it could be that Xinjun was mad by King Jing, why didn't he give the order to kill that person and see him?! To be a slave, the natural only holy decree is to obey, not much effort, the guard took a person into the hall, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military all looked sideways, at first glance saw a meat ball shyly stomach swaying into the hall, almost laughed.
I saw that the person who came was less than five feet tall, weighed more than two hundred, could not be called short and fat, it was clear that a ball of meat rolled in, this person was so fat that he couldn't see his neck, a big head seemed to be directly buckled on both shoulders, and a pair of small eyes on the face of the persimmon, at this time, the small eyes were looking around, looking at the people in the Golden Palace with curiosity, his thick lips turned outward, the funniest thing was his nose, and he didn't know what it was, it was black and deflated, and there was only one ear on both sides of his head. ET
The guard grabbed the comer, kicked him in the socket of the leg, and shouted: "Don't bow your head and bow to my emperor, long live, long live!" ”
Only then did the man lie on the ground and dance and shouted: "Unfilial Xue Yi'er knocks on Daddy, your old man has been doing well lately, but I want to kill my son, Daddy, my son kowtowed to you......."
"Bold! Don't look at what kind of place this is, if you dare to talk nonsense, you will be dragged out and hacked to death! The leader of the guards was already frightened, and he was busy drinking Xue Yi'er.
Xue Yi'er didn't care, knelt down with a handful of snot and tears, and said while crawling: "My son is not filial, and he has never waited for his father all the time, so that his father was bitten by the old dog." ”
Seeing that he was speechless, the more he talked, the more he went too far, he hurriedly stepped forward and pressed Xue Yi'er's shoulders, and was about to drag him out, not wanting the fifth prince to speak in a deep voice: "Let him in, what he said is not bad, I am his father-in-law!" ”
A sentence was like a boulder entering the water, which suddenly stirred up waves, and the civil and military faces of the Manchu Dynasty looked at each other and let out a long sigh in unison.
"Take Xue Yi'er forward to reply!" Before the fifth prince's words fell, King Jing stood up and puffed out his beard angrily.
"Xiao Luochen, what do you mean by this?! This person's origin is unknown, and he humiliated the old man without saying anything, and instead of punishing him, you allowed him to go to the temple? Lord Jing pointed at Xue Yi'er and questioned the five princes.
The fifth prince pretended to be surprised and smiled slightly: "Don't be angry with Grandpa Jing, he is indeed the righteous son of the moth that I received, he is a mountain and wild villager, and he doesn't know how to be polite, and he can't afford to humiliate the prince!" “
The fifth prince didn't wait for Prince Jing to speak again, turned to the civil and military officials who were still kneeling on the ground and asked, "Rank ministers, has anyone heard my righteous son offend Prince Jing between his words?!" “
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty hung their heads and were silent, no matter how things develop, the accession of the five princes to the throne will be a fact, unless any prince jumps out to stop him at this time, everyone's kneeling legs are numb, and at this time they began to hate Prince Jing for being troublesome, so no one spoke.
Xue Yi'er snorted and said: "That's it, old man, I'm afraid of you to death, where do I dare to offend you, look at how capable you are, not only say that my godfather, the emperor, is pretending, but also make so many people kneel down and give you a gift, how dare I provoke you?!" “
"Godfather, my son heard that you have become the emperor on the way, and you think you are so glorious, so I came to congratulate you on the old man, I don't want to be bitten by the old dog in vain, alas, ......." Xue Yier shook his head and sighed frequently.
"You ....... you....... you say it's an old dog?!" King Jing Huo stood up from the Taishi chair and pointed at Xue Yi'er's hand trembling.
Xue Yi'er didn't look at King Jing, and replied unhurriedly: "Whoever accompanies you is an old dog!" “
"Come on....... come on, someone drag this dog out and beat it to death!" King Jing's angry beard pouted, and at this time, he couldn't care about the identity and dignity of the prince, and stomped on the ground with both feet.
On this golden palace, there is no emperor's will, anyone talking is like a fart, King Jing called for a long time, saw that no one paid attention, and turned to Xue Yi'er and asked sharply: "Okay, good, this king and I don't care about villains, just don't worry about you, what did you just say?" Can you prove that the Five Princes are true or false? Why? Is it just you, the villager? “
Li Qin knelt down and crawled out of the class and said: "Long live Lord Chenqi, this time of the enthronement ceremony is related to my future national fortunes, and I must not miss it. “
"Come on, please invite Prince Jing and remove your seat." Li Qin's voice landed, and four guards had already set up King Jing left and right, dragging them away from both sides of the dragon chair, and the other two guards lifted the Taishi chair and left.
The fifth prince looked at the embarrassed King Jing with his feet off the ground, and laughed secretly in his heart, but shook his head again and again: "Li Aiqing is loyal to the country, although he should be rewarded, but this king may not be able to convince .......the public when he ascends the throne at this time."
Before the five princes could refuse, all the ministers shouted in unison: "Long live my emperor and long live my emperor........
After the mountain call was finished, the sleeves of the five princes' robes waved, turned around and sat on the dragon chair, the voice was as loud as a bronze bell, and said: "Zhongqing is flat!" “
At this time, sitting on the high dragon chair, looking down on these civil and military officials, the five princes had mixed feelings, both happy and sad, happy that they had their long-cherished wishes, and sad that they were waiting for themselves were afraid that it was not only rights but also frames and disasters.
At present, the decree changed the name of the year to the first year of Jingping, and granted amnesty to the world.
King Jing is old and short-witted, and now the five princes have sat on the dragon chair to accept the congratulations of the hundred officials, even if there is enough evidence, the hundred officials will not overthrow the emperor elected by themselves, but the prince Jing is not interested, and yelled in the corner of the hall: "The old minister is not convinced........ the first emperor........ you are scattered in the spirit of the sky, see whose hands our Xiao family's rivers and mountains fall into!" “
The emperor shouted in a deep voice: "Bring the people who roared the Golden Palace!" ”
At this time, the scene is very different from just now, just now the fifth prince spoke, and now it is the emperor's decree, the guards are like wolves and tigers to push the prince of Jing to the golden palace, and kicked him hard in the crook of his leg, and the ministers also hated this old prince at this time, and they knelt for an extra stick of incense in vain, and their knees were still hurting at this time.
"Lord Jing, what else do you have to say?!" The emperor asked coldly.
I don't want to Jing Wang Ye also snorted coldly, took out a roll of things wrapped in yellow paper from his arms, raised the head of the country with both hands and shouted: "This is the edict of the first emperor, it is passed on to the second prince and not the fifth prince, please take a look!" ”
Seeing this, Xue Yi'er also knelt on top of the court, took out a roll of his hands and raised them above his head and shouted: "I also have the edict of the former emperor here, which is clearly the inheritance of the throne and the fifth prince Xiao Luochen!" ”
"Bold! How dare you call the Holy One by his name! The guard stepped forward and slapped Xue Yi'er twice.
"Let him speak!" Xin Junjun's face was cold, like the weather of the ninth month of the lunar month, and the two torch-like eyes seemed to be able to kill people.
The crowd hung their heads.
"Pass the holy decree in the hands of these two people to the ministers, and see if I am right or wrong on this throne?!" In the face of the two holy decrees that did not distinguish between truth and falsehood, the new monarch was heavy and calm.
The eunuch who accompanied the eunuch took the holy decree in the hands of the two and handed it to Li Qin, the first assistant of the cabinet, of course, these two holy decrees could not be seen by all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, only the five important ministers in the cabinet were eligible, Li Qin first looked at the edict in Xue Yi'er's hand, and couldn't help nodding frequently, and passed the holy decree to the next person. After taking the edict presented by Prince Jing again, he read it three times in a row, his face changed unpredictably, and the cabinet scholar next to Li Qin came over, and Li Qin handed over the edict to him.
After reading the edict in the hands of King Jing, the faces of the five ministers were generally ugly.
Li Qin knelt down after leaving class: "Long live, the two posthumous ministers have seen it." ”
"The result?"
Li Qin and the other five knelt on top of the court, glanced at each other, and Li Qin said, "It's all true!" ”
There was a burst of chaos in the court, today's enthronement ceremony is really rare in ancient times, first there was Prince Jing making a fuss, and then Xue Yi'er offered an edict, and now there are two true and false edicts, I don't know if the five princes of the throne can sit firmly? !
The new monarch thought for a while: "Submit the two edicts, and I and the concubine will decide!" ”
"Yes." The eunuch walked up with two edicts.
The fifth prince opened the two edicts, but the dragon's eyes were just a glance, and his face suddenly changed!
