Chapter 142: Lip Fighting
The five princes stood behind the curtain at the door of the court, looking at everyone through the gaps, and couldn't help but be a little nervous in their hearts.
"The new monarch succeeds to the throne, and the hundred officials worship the ......." Lou Sikong's shout finally sounded, and the five princes walked up to the golden hall with square steps, stood beside the dragon chair, and glanced down at the people kneeling on the ground, the sound of a mountain calling long live made him feel a little like a dream, and his hand fell on the armrest of the dragon chair and rubbed back and forth, this was his dream for fifteen years, and now his dream has finally come true!
Just as he was about to sit down to accept the greetings, someone at the door of the court shouted: "Slow! The old man has something to say! “
Everyone couldn't help but turn their heads to look, and there was an old man with a gray beard about five feet tall standing at the door of the court, the old man was wearing a dark purple dragon robe, holding a dragon head cane, a jade belt tied around his waist, purple skin, big eyes, two thick eyebrows, and the eyebrows were getting longer.
It turned out that this person was not someone else, but the uncle of Xiao Guozhu, Jing Wangye, who gave up the throne to the grandfather of the five princes, and the grandfather of the five princes was grateful to King Jing, and authorized him to go to the palace without worshipping the king, and the children and grandchildren from generation to generation enjoy the glory and wealth! And give him a dragon head and a cane, and beat the king and the minister below, it is really one person under ten thousand people!
The fifth prince also turned his heart when he saw this King Jing's grandfather, he really didn't expect that this eighty-year-old King Jing would come to the Golden Palace to make trouble.
The fifth prince stood beside the dragon chair, looked at King Jing coldly, and spoke very politely: "It turned out to be Grandpa Jing, come here, show Lord Jing!" ”
Regardless of whether this ceremony is completed or not, if there is nothing special, the five princes are all new monarchs, and the exit is the holy decree, and the little eunuch has already carried the eunuch chair, and the prince Jing is not polite, sitting on the court hall with a big thorn, leaning the dragon's head cane to the side, and looking at the five princes with slanted eyes.
"Come on, raise the seat of King Jing!" The five princes met the gaze of Prince Jing and delivered the decree.
According to the ranks, at this time, Prince Jing is sitting at the head of the ministers, which is already the highest position, if he rises one step is where the prince should sit, the little eunuch was stunned for a moment and looked at the five princes, and the five princes looked at King Jing with expressionless faces.
Looking at each other, King Jing slowly stood up, and the little eunuch took a step up his seat.
"One more!". ET
Ministers, you look at me, I look at you, look at each other, and they can't guess the intentions of the five princes.
Jing Wang Ye couldn't sit still, coughed lightly, and said with a dragon head cane in his hand: "Lao Wang doesn't dare to trespass, it's very comfortable to sit here." “
The fifth prince smiled faintly: "Grandpa Jing is not seated, is it possible to ask Xiao Wang to accompany you to stand like this all the time?" Do the ministers kneel with you all the time? "The five princes have not yet sat on the dragon chair at this time, and the etiquette of the enthronement hall has not yet been completed, so he is not qualified to be called a lonely widow on the top of the golden palace, and he can only call himself the prince, and he calls himself the prince, and it is not an exaggeration for the prince to sit on an equal footing with him, but if he finishes the throne ceremony, the prince of Jing will be suspected of trespassing, so at this time, the prince of Jing is riding a tiger, entering, it is rude to transgress; To retreat is to recognize the throne of the five princes!
The golden palace was silent, there was a dead silence, the huge golden palace didn't even have the sound of breathing, all the ministers had their own hearts, and they agreed with the five princes' nature in their hearts to secretly blame the old prince for being troublesome, and doubting the five princes, but they wanted to see what this Jing prince had.
After a while, Prince Jing broke the silence with a gentle cough, he stared at the five princes and said: "Old man, I only have three things to come to the Golden Palace today, one is that I heard that the first emperor Yan drove and the new monarch succeeded to the throne, I want to see who this new monarch is, the old man is also a royal person, and he can't watch the throne fall, the five princes are dignified and talented, and they are the dragons and phoenixes among the people who are worthy of great responsibility, but the old man has something unknown and wants to ask for advice in person." “
King Jing's words were polite, but the hidden needles in the cotton were not small.
The fifth prince nodded: "Lord Jing, please speak." “
"As far as this king knows, the first emperor's biography is located in the second prince Xiao Yichen, why did he become the fifth prince? Where is the edict of succession? Why did the first emperor die? Who can prove the identity of the five princes in this Manchu dynasty? King Jing clasped his fists in the air and stared at the five princes and asked.
"This ......." The five princes had a look of uncertainty on their faces.
"The prince's question is reasonable, my father did issue an edict to pass it on to the second emperor's brother, but the edict was originally an expedient measure, how could my father really pass the throne to an incomplete person?! As for who can prove my identity, the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty can prove that when the second prince went to Beiling, it was I who assisted the government. As for this edict of succession? The father was in a hurry, and the king succeeded to the throne by the edict of the concubine. "The five princes coped with it like a stream.
King Jing snorted coldly: "There is no edict, how can I know that you are not a usurper of the dynasty?" “
The fifth prince raised his eyebrows a few times, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and snorted coldly: "Then what about the will of Prince Jing?" “
Prince Jing was on crutches in both hands, as if he intended to provoke the five princes, and he smiled faintly: "The old minister doesn't know, the old minister only knows that if there is no edict to pass on the throne, it is not justified for you to ascend the throne and sit in the palace, and the old minister is also dissatisfied in his heart!" “
Shangshu Li Qin knelt down and crawled out of the class and said: "Since the two princes are in dispute, why don't you ask the concubine to come forward." “
The five princes nodded immediately, and ordered the little eunuchs on both sides to go to the harem to invite Concubine Yuan to drive the phoenix, the little eunuch took the order and left, hanging down the bead curtains on both sides, and after a while, Concubine Yuan came to the bead curtain, Qianqian was a thousand blessings, and Qi Zhu's lips said slowly: "The surviving Yuan family has seen King Jing." “
"Don't dare, don't dare!" King Jing clenched his fists with both hands, his eyes squinted, and his face showed disrespect.
"I listened to the words of the five princes, before the first emperor went to the throne, there was an edict to pass on the throne to the fifth prince Xiao Luochen, but I don't know if what Concubine Yuan said is true or false!" King Jing didn't go around in circles, and went straight to the topic.
Concubine Yuan nodded behind the bead curtain, tears drooped darkly, raised her sleeves and slowly brushed the tears, and said: "Yes, before the first emperor's big trip, this concubine has been guarding the front of the car, the first emperor said the truth, the five princes are extraordinary, smart and kind since childhood, brothers, friends and brothers, filial piety and loyalty, can succeed to the throne as the new monarch." “
"There is no basis for empty words, but with the concubine's glance, I am afraid that I can't convince the public, right?" Prince Jing obviously expected that there was no holy decree a long time ago, and he seemed to be prepared.
"So what does Lord Jing want?" Concubine Yuan knew that Prince Jing must have other intentions on this trip, so she tugged at the sleeves of the five princes' robes with her hands behind the bead curtain, signaling him to steady, and first see what Prince Jing meant.
The fifth prince really wanted to order someone to beat Prince Jing out of the stick, if it wasn't for Concubine Yuan to stop him, he would have to be powerful, but now he has to be patient and see what Prince Jing means.
"The old minister has no intention, but he doesn't want the throne of the lord to fall into the hands of villains, since there is no edict, there must be a virtuous person to supervise the country, and it is not too late to hold the enthronement ceremony after the fifth prince Xiao Luochen really serves the public." King Jing is very reserved.
"No! A country cannot be without a king for a day! “
"Never! What is a country without a king?! ”
"No, no!"
"Never!"
Before Prince Jing's words fell, Concubine Yuan and the five princes did not speak, and there was a voice of opposition among the ministers.
Prince Jing widened his eyes and pointed at the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu and said, "Are you willing to serve a person of unknown origin as your emperor?" If the first emperor knew in heaven, wouldn't he blame the ministers?! “
The ministers exchanged their heads and talked about each other, all watching the next steps of Concubine Yuan and the five princes, and the five princes asked Prince Jing coldly: "According to the meaning of the prince, the one who has the edict of the first emperor is the new monarch who is justified?" If there is no edict of succession, is it a rebellious minister and thief who seeks to usurp the throne? “
Prince Jing shook his head and said: "I didn't say that you are a chaotic minister and thief, but there is no evidence of the edict and the cabinet, and it is indeed difficult for the fifth prince to convince the public to come to the throne." “
The fifth prince suddenly bullied Prince Jing, and said in a low voice: "Could it be that Lord Yijing's intention is to ask this king to carry the second emperor brother in the coffin to succeed to the throne, and then your old man will be the auxiliary minister?!" “
The fifth prince wanted to provoke Prince Jing, but when he heard this, Prince Jing was not only not annoyed, but stood up with a smile and said to the Manchu Dynasty: "I suddenly understand why the first emperor passed on the throne to the second prince a crippled person!" I'm afraid it's the drunkard's intention not to drink! “
When everyone heard this, they immediately quieted down, and looked at the triumphant King Jing with doubtful eyes.
King Jing stroked his beard and said: "Let's invite the Yue Kingdom who doesn't know, Yu Wang Ye Xiao Yichen married a female Zhuge who looks better than the immortals, she outwitted the wind and danced the snow lion, and the three kings of the wisdom fight are even more false, I am afraid that the intention of the first emperor to pass on the throne is to ask the princess of Yu to assist the new monarch and revitalize the dynasty........
Prince Jing suddenly stopped, everyone was still looking at him puzzled, he suddenly bent down to the five princes and said: "If the five princes can accept the princess of Yu as the queen, the old minister will be convinced, and there will be no more words!" “
Concubine Yuan breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and asked the fifth prince in a low voice: "Luochen, this is not a difficult matter, according to our etiquette system of inviting the Moon Kingdom, brother to brother, you could have accepted Xueyi as a concubine, just for the queen....... I'm afraid I have wronged you, after all, ........"
The fifth prince couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, even if Xue Yi was the queen, he would not be wronged, but now don't say that she will give Xue Yi a posterior, even if she wants to give up this thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, she will definitely not enter the palace, let alone agree to this condition of King Jing!
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!
