Chapter 213: Rebellion
Not to mention the different minds of everyone sitting below, Rui Kangdi looked at his son who slowly walked to his side, but his heart was full of regret.
The son is in the prime of life, but he is old.
However, thinking that his son is also his own bloodline, as well as his two outstanding grandsons, his own bloodline can continue to be passed on in the future, Ruikangdi's heart is finally better.
Just after Rui Kangdi summoned Ye Jingxing to his side, Empress Hu also spoke directly and called Xu Nuanwen and Dong Shu to her side.
Originally, Empress Hu was only going to call Dong Shu to her side, but because Rui Kangdi called Ye Jingxing to her side, she couldn't just call Dong Shu to her side, so she could only call Xu Nuanwen together.
After Queen Hu also spoke, the expressions of the people sitting down became more normal.
Xu Nuanwen didn't expect that Queen Hu would call her over today, and when she walked up, she caught a glimpse of her mother-in-law's face without a happy look, but with a look of honor, so she completely put her mind at ease.
After Xu Nuanwen and Dong Shu sat down next to Queen Hu on the left and right, the New Year's banquet officially began.
Today's New Year's banquet, in addition to celebrating the New Year, everyone knows that there are two major events to happen.
As everyone raised their wine glasses, everyone was wondering in their hearts when Rui Kangdi would speak.
Rui Kangdi sat at the top, looking at the expressions of the people below, knowing that everyone's thoughts were not here, but he was in a very good mood at this time.
It's a great feeling of being expected to speak.
After a few glasses of wine, Rui Kangdi was satisfied to see everyone's reactions, and then nodded to Duanwang, who was the first on the left hand side of the next head.
King Duan also understood that the imperial brother was not happy today, so even if others were anxious just now, no matter how many people looked at him, he didn't give a little reaction.
It wasn't until he received a hint from Emperor Ruikang that King Duan raised the wine glass in front of him and said to Emperor Ruikang, "Brother He, Brother He." ”
As soon as King Duan spoke, the hall, which was still a little noisy, instantly fell silent.
King Duan didn't seem to notice these at all, and after saying this, he saw Emperor Ruikang looking at him, so he continued: "Brother He has such an outstanding emperor under his knees, and the country is expected in the future!" ”
As soon as King Duan finished saying this, the officials who belonged to the line of the Fifth Prince Ye Jingxing and their relatives immediately had a smile on their faces.
The words 'the country is hopeful' are not said casually, and the relationship between King Duan and Shengshang is good, which is something that everyone knows.
Since King Duan can say such a thing, it proves that the heir of Emperor Ruikang's heart is indeed the fifth prince Ye Jingxing!
No matter what other people's expressions are, Ye Jingxing, who has long guessed his father's thoughts, will rarely show a touch of 'shame', Rui Kangdi saw the expression on Ye Jingxing's face, nodded with satisfaction, and then answered: "What you said is good, there is a line, I just close my eyes at this moment, and I have no regrets." ”
This kind of 'untimely' words can only be said by Ruikandi himself, so as not to commit taboos.
But the most important thing at this moment is what Rui Kangdi just revealed, he really intends to hand over the throne to Ye Jingxing's son.
Just when everyone thought that according to Rui Kangdi's temperament, he would grind and chirp until the end of the New Year's banquet before announcing the news of his abdication, Rui Kangdi, who was sitting at the top, suddenly sighed and said: "Seeing you grow up and become a family, I also know that I am old." ”
After Rui Kangdi said this, he didn't give everyone time to react, and waved directly to the attendant beside him.
Seeing that the chamberlain actually took out a holy decree directly from the sleeve cage, everyone who sat down was shocked.
'Why is the Holy One so happy today?' ’
This is the thought that pops into the minds of most officials at the same time.
It's not that they want to think of Rui Kangdi like this, but Rui Kangdi has been the emperor for more than 20 years, and these officials have become accustomed to Rui Kangdi's procrastinating nature, but they didn't expect that today's Rui Kangdi would be so refreshing.
Rui Kangdi has been paying attention to everyone's expressions, and seeing them show such a look, he feels more and more proud.
He was reluctant to take the throne, but in the face of life, the temptation of the throne to him was not so great.
The important thing is that Rui Kangdi feels that he has chosen a qualified heir and handed over the country to him, and he can completely recuperate his body with peace of mind and make fun of his grandchildren.
Thinking of this, Ruikandi retracted his thoughts and glanced at Ye Jingxing beside him with satisfaction.
Almost at the moment when Emperor Ruikang came back to his senses, the chamberlain had already opened the holy decree, looked at Ye Jingxing and said, "The fifth prince Ye Jingxing received the decree." ”
As soon as the waiter's voice fell, Ye Jingxing was busy getting up and walking down, but before he could kneel down to receive the order, in the originally quiet hall, a discordant voice suddenly came to mind.
"Father, even if you want to take the throne, you should be young and orderly, and pass it on to me." As he spoke, Ye Jingche slowly stood up from his position, he still held a wine glass in his hand, but the wine in the wine glass was not less than a sip from the beginning.
Hearing Ye Jingche's words, Rui Kangdi immediately frowned and said, "Che'er, what are you making trouble?" After this decree is your succession. After saying this, he paused and then looked at Ye Jingche and scolded: "Don't retreat yet!" ”
Rui Kangdi directly said his arrangement, originally he planned to take Ye Jingche out first and then Zen position, but because he was in a good mood, he temporarily decided to Zen first, and then announced Ye Jingche's succession.
In Rui Kangdi's opinion, Ye Jingche had already said it a few months ago about the matter of Ye Jingche's succession to the Spirit King, even if there was no holy decree, but those who should know should also know it.
But he didn't expect that Ye Jingche knew about it, but he still chose to say his thoughts at this time.
After hearing Ruikangdi's words, Ye Jingche not only did not retreat, but continued to take two steps forward.
"Stand down? Why should I step down? As he spoke, Ye Jingche's eyes burst out with a hint of ruthlessness, and he looked at Rui Kangdi and continued: "Obviously they are all your sons, why should I be adopted, but the fifth child can be the emperor?" Why? ”
The last three words were said by Ye Jingche with the taste of gnashing his teeth.
He is indeed unbalanced in his heart, he doesn't feel that he is worse than Ye Jingxing, the two mothers are from similar backgrounds, and he is even more elder, why should he pass him over and pass on the throne to the fifth child?
Looking at Ye Jingche like this, Rui Kangdi's heart trembled, and after closing his eyes, he opened his eyes and looked at him and said, "Why not you?" You dare to ask why not you? Speaking of this, Rui Kangdi thought of the prince who died early, "What have you done for so many years, I don't say it, it doesn't mean that I don't know!" If I really pass on the throne to you, I will be sorry for the ancestors of the Ye family, and sorry for the people of this world! ”
As soon as Rui Kangdi finished saying this, he felt uncomfortable and a little out of breath.
When Dong Shu saw Rui Kangdi like this, he hurriedly picked up the warm water that he had not drunk in front of him and sent it to him.
After Rui Kangdi drank half a glass of warm water, he felt that his heart was a lot more comfortable.
And when Dong Shu moved, Ye Jingche kept quietly watching her movements, until Dong Shu returned to Queen Hu's side, Ye Jingche suddenly looked at Dong Shu and laughed.
"It's all because you're right? If it weren't for you, how could Xu Shiqiu return to Beijing, and if Xu Shiqiu didn't return to Beijing, how could he take over so much military power. He has no military power, and there are no reliable generals around Lao Wu, so he will not win. Without you, the queen would have been gone a long time ago! Without the queen, how could my father take back the palace power in the hands of my mother. Everything changes because of you, right? As he spoke, Ye Jingche suddenly threw down the wine glass he had been holding in his hand and stretched out his hand towards Dong Shu.
Dong Shu didn't expect Ye Jingche to suddenly come and catch herself, she was stunned for a moment, and when she reacted, she didn't know what she picked up in front of her and threw it at Ye Jingche.
Although Ye Jingche is not proficient in martial arts, he really doesn't care much about what a woman throws at him.
But this was something he didn't pay attention to, but it smashed straight into his eyes.
As a tingling pain came from his eyes, although Ye Jingche had closed his eyes in time, his left eye still couldn't open for a while because of the pain of the impact.
Because of this accident, Ye Jingche's original patience was also lost, and he shouted directly to the outside of the hall: "Come on, tie up these people for me!" ”
As Ye Jingche's words fell, a group of soldiers immediately rushed in outside the main hall.
Looking at these people, the officials and relatives in the hall who were originally stunned by the movement of the head immediately became a little flustered.
Seeing that they were flustered, Ye Jingche laughed with satisfaction: "Haha, as long as you are obedient, when I ascend the throne, I will let you go." After saying this to those people, Ye Jingche looked at Ye Jingxing, Ye Jinghui and the others: "As for you, for the sake of the brothers, I will leave you a whole corpse." ”
Rui Kangdi has not opened his mouth since he was fed half a cup of warm water by Dong Shu just now, until this Ye Jingche revealed his ambition and murderous intent towards Ye Jingxing and others, and then he looked at Ye Jingche who was next and said, "Do you really think that you can successfully ascend the throne today?" ”
Hearing Rui Kangdi's words, Ye Jingche immediately looked at him and said, "My good father, don't worry, when I ascend the throne, I will arrange a good place for you." As he spoke, the madness in Ye Jingche's eyes became more and more serious.
Before Rui Kangdi could speak again, he fell on Dong Shu again.
"Originally, I wanted to take you for my own use, although you have been married, but the fact that you are blessed is enough for me to give you a concubine." Speaking of this, Ye Jingche walked towards Dong Shu step by step, his original smile was slowly put away, and finally looked at Dong Shu and said fiercely: "It's just that since you don't know what to do with them, then accompany them to die!" ”
As soon as Ye Jingche's words fell, two soldiers swung their knives at Dong Shu.
And at this critical moment, Xu Nuanwen suddenly overturned the desk in front of her and blocked the knife swung by these two people, and at the same time, Rui Kangdi also said loudly: "Someone!" ”
Seeing Dong Shu being protected by Xu Nuanwen, Ye Jingche was originally a little unimpressed, but in the next moment, at the moment when Rui Kangdi's words fell, a group of soldiers in black armor suddenly poured out from the back of the main hall.
As soon as they saw this group of soldiers, an official who had seen them immediately exclaimed: "The Iron Eagle Brigade is General Xu's Iron Eagle Brigade!" ”
At the moment when the official's voice fell, Xu Shiqiu, dressed in black armor, led the soldiers of the Iron Eagle Brigade from all around the main hall to the main hall quickly, and fought with the soldiers who came in before and belonged to Ye Jingche.
Seeing that Xu Shiqiu appeared here in an instant, Ye Jingche just calmed down again in a panic.
Thankfully, he made other arrangements!
Dong Shu was also pleasantly surprised the moment she saw Xu Shiqiu appear, she didn't expect that Xianggong would come back.
Not only is he back, it seems that he has already arrived in the capital, otherwise how could he appear here in time.
Seeing Dong Shu looking at Xu Shiqiu, Queen Hu, who had not spoken before, hurriedly pulled her to her side and said, "You kid, you don't know how to hide, the sword has no eyes, don't hurt it." ”
Dong Shu heard Queen Hu's words, although she knew that what she said was reasonable, but she hadn't seen Xu Shiqiu for a few months, and she would finally see her, how could she take her eyes off him.
Queen Hu also felt love, understood Dong Shu's mood at this time, saw her like this, sighed, and did not speak again.
The soldiers of the Iron Eagle Brigade are not comparable to the soldiers under Ye Jingche.
It didn't take long for the soldiers of the Iron Eagle Brigade to seize control of the main hall, and the weapons of those soldiers were discarded and pressed together to wait for Rui Kangdi to dispose of them.
And Ye Jingche, who knew this, knew that all the soldiers under him had been taken down, but he was not flustered at all.
He looked at Xu Shiqiu, who was walking towards him step by step, and after laughing arrogantly, he looked at Rui Kangdi at the top and said: "I am not defeated, I am dead, and I will be buried with you!" ”
As Ye Jingche's words fell, several smart people in the hall immediately sensed that something was wrong.
This Ye Jingche, could it be that he made other arrangements?
