Chapter 208: Dispatch the Frontier
The next day, the ministers went to the court as usual to discuss the future road of the Great Wei, although Xiao Yi was sent to the sealed mansion, but he still appeared in the court, laughing and talking with those ministers.
Xiao Jin stood on the opposite team, watching him smile so happily, thinking of Ji Keqiu, he couldn't help but hate him, and there was no brotherhood in his heart.
After the death of Emperor Wei, there was no one to inherit the unification, and the court meeting was controlled by a few highly respected courtiers in the court, so as not to make any mistakes.
Xiao Yi was concerned about the death of Emperor Wei, after all, it was related to his succession to the throne, and he was unwilling to fail like that.
Now that Ji Ke is gone, it is their opportunity to do it. Xiao Yi glanced up at Xiao Jin and smiled smugly.
"Ministers, the country cannot be without a king for a day, but the first emperor has died, and this king thinks that we should first bury the first emperor at a good time, so that the major events of inheritance can be put on the agenda." Yat Siu made a suggestion to the ministers.
In short, he even wanted to hastily deal with Emperor Wei's aftermath so that he could speed up his ascension to the throne.
Xiao Jin saw his purpose, and immediately stood up to refute it? "No! The murderer of the first emperor has not yet been caught, and now the matter has been hastily closed, this is to make the first emperor die without turning a blind eye! ”
Hearing Xiao Jin refute himself, Xiao Yi looked sideways at him and glared at him angrily, but he didn't expect that what he was doing was still stopped by him, a powerful opponent. His teeth itched with hatred, and he clenched his fists, but in his heart he was reminding himself not to cause trouble at this juncture.
He let go of his fist, Xiao Yi reluctantly smiled on his face, and said, "Then let the first emperor rest in peace, right?" Wouldn't it be better to follow the clues slowly after the burial? ”
Xiao Jin felt that what he said also made some sense, but seeing him like that, it didn't look like he was going to give Emperor Wei a rich burial, so he did things hastily and perfunctorily, and then ascended the throne logically.
He would not let Xiao Yi's plan succeed, so he said to the ministers: "The first emperor ruled the whole country during his lifetime, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, this is the blessing of the Great Wei, and now he has encountered an accident, we should bury the first emperor, pardon the world, and show the virtue of the first emperor!"
What Xiao Jin said was reasonable, and the ministers nodded one after another, feeling that what they said was reasonable, Xiao Yi's face was ugly after listening to him, as if he had a rebuttal.
Seeing the good response, Xiao Jin continued: "This king feels that the whole country should mourn for three months for the loss of this good king, and no music and dancing are allowed during this period."
Xiao Yi wanted to come out to refute, but the prime minister was the first to come out to support Xiao Jin: "The old minister thinks that what the prince said is reasonable, and the minister supports it!"
His support attracted a large number of watchful ministers, who followed the prime minister to stand in line, and in less than a moment, the wind suddenly fell on Xiao Jin's side.
Seventy percent of the people in the court supported Xiao Jin's approach, and Xiao Yi and his henchmen accounted for thirty percent, so they had no choice but to obey the majority.
However, Xiao Yi's plan was unsuccessful, so he led the signs to Xiao Jin, thinking that he was too powerful in the court at this time, and if he fought for power, he might not be able to succeed himself.
So Xiao Yi had a plan in his heart, and said: "Great Wei has lost the Ming monarch, and this king is also very sad, and now the neighboring countries have heard that our king has collapsed and wants to attack Great Wei, and the Great Wei frontier is in danger, why don't you send another capable general to lead the troops to garrison at this time?" What do you think? ”
The frontier issue is a worry among the ministers, and once the frontier is lost, there is a danger of destroying the country nine times out of ten.
They were panicked, and immediately followed Xiao Yi's advice and prepared to find another general to set off on the frontier, but who should they choose?
The ministers looked at each other, and they didn't know who else in the court could hold this position at this time, but Xiao Yi's eyes stayed on Xiao Jin, and when his henchmen saw it, they understood what he meant.
"The minister thinks it's better to appoint the prince of Jin, didn't the prince of Jin win a big victory in the battle with Beiliang a few days ago, if he resists the invasion of neighboring countries, he will definitely be able to protect the great Wei Zhouquan." Hubu Shangshu smiled mildly and pointed everyone's attention in Xiao Jin's direction.
The ministers reacted, and they agreed with this candidate in their hearts, if he was allowed to lead troops to guard the Great Wei again, maybe he could get a complete victory.
Xiao Jin didn't expect Xiao Yi's signs to point to him again, and for a while he didn't know what to do, if he left the imperial capital, Xiao Yi would somehow make waves.
"I don't know if King Jin is willing?" Xiao Yi asked Xiao Jin in accordance with the ministers' hearts.
For the country and the people, if Xiao Jin refuses, he will definitely become the target of the public, he smiled and accepted it frankly: "This king's fur is only like this, if the adults are willing to believe in this king, then this king is also very honored, and is willing to set off on the frontier to protect the Great Wei!"
This modest remark of his won the favor of the ministers, who looked at him with satisfaction, and discussed and praised him with his fellow party members.
Xiao Yi listened to the praise from behind, and felt quite harsh in his ears, and his face gradually became cold.
He smiled hypocritically, stepped forward and patted Xiao Jin's shoulder, pretending to be a scene of brotherly harmony, and said: "King Jin is really a hero, but the frontier is critical, you have to hurry up."
This obviously meant that he wanted to drive him away quickly, but Xiao Jin was not stupid, so he said to him: "The first emperor treats this king like a parent, he has not been buried, if this king is gone, I am sorry for the first emperor's cultivation and nurturing for many years, this king should wait for the first emperor to be buried before leaving."
Xiao Jin's reason was also used very appropriately, Xiao Yi had no room for refutation at all, if he drove him away at this time, it would make the ministers think that he had bad intentions.
So Xiao Yi smiled and agreed: "What the King of Jin said is also true, the first emperor treated our brothers so kindly, he should wait until he is buried before leaving."
The ministers felt that it was the same, and they also felt that Xiao Jin had filial piety and was a good candidate to be a virtuous king.
Behind Xiao Yi, there was another voice of praise for Xiao Jin, which made Xiao Jin's prestige among the ministers instantly rise.
When he heard these praises, Xiao Yi was very displeased, and put indifference on his face, but he relaxed his guard against him, after all, a person who was about to leave the imperial capital, what ability did he have to fight for power with himself.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yi's smug smile hung on his face again, this should be the happiest thing he has felt in a while.
Without sending it, without Xiao Jin, who else can seize power with him in the future? Isn't this his Xiao Yi's world?
He thought, Xiao Jin looked at him and secretly hooked the corners of his mouth, this is just his reinforcement plan, and he doesn't know what the fixed number will be in the future.
Xiao Yat, you just wait and see. Xiao Jin snorted coldly in his heart, and he missed it very much. Tilt, where are you?
