Chapter 284: The World Turns Upside Down II
For a while, Sima Yi's face was ugly, and he hadn't spoken yet.
Someone from the Sima clan stood up and said, "What's going on? Such strange things have happened one after another, isn't it because the heavenly ghosts and gods have warned us?"
When he said this, everyone present couldn't help but widen their eyes and feel furious in their hearts.
This is the mourning hall of the former king, and it is heavy in yin qi, and such appalling things happen one after another, and anyone can't help but think about it.
"And those things that happened in the Zongmiao, the tablet of the ancestors of the Sima clan fell for no reason, and it was clearly a warning to us from the heavens and ghosts. Another person among the clan relatives stood up, and he looked at Sima Yi and even the civil and military officials and said conclusively.
Sima Rui* looked at them, his eyes fell on Sima Yi's somewhat flustered face, and a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes.
"I just don't know why the heavens, ghosts, and gods have to warn us three times or twice?"
Everyone was terrified.
As soon as the man's voice fell, Xie Changan strode forward, he arched his hand to Sima Yi and said: "Your Majesty, such a strange thing happened in the mourning hall, if you can't give everyone an explanation, I don't know what kind of rumors will spread in the future, I am afraid that it will hinder Your Majesty's reputation, and please ask Your Majesty to investigate this matter thoroughly." ”
"Absurd, what kind of warning from the heavens and ghosts is just nonsense. Sima Yi's face sank, he looked at Xie Changan coldly and scolded: "The time has come and you can't delay any longer, let the first king start immediately." ”
He had a tough attitude, but Xie Changan did not flinch at all, he arched his hand to Sima Yi and said: "Please Your Majesty order to open the coffin of the first king, if it is no different, it is not too late to start driving." ”
"Your Majesty, I think what the Marquis of Dingyuan said is very reasonable, if this matter is not investigated, how to block the mouths of the people in the world in the future, is it difficult for the people of the world to talk about our Sima family's immorality, is it not worthy of sitting in the world?" one of the clan relatives looked at Sima Yi and said loudly.
After he finished speaking, all the clan relatives present stood up, and they arched their hands at Sima Yi and said, "Wait for the proposal!"
Sima Rui always stood there without saying a word, as if he was just an outsider.
Sima Yi's face was grim, he swept over all the clan relatives present one by one, and said in a deep voice: "Didn't you hear the words of the widow? ”
All the clan relatives of the Sima clan stood there motionless, they were in the way, and the others were helpless.
Sima Yiden was furious, he pointed at all the clan relatives and said loudly: "Are you trying to rebel?"
"Your Majesty, such a strange thing happened in the mourning hall, we can't help but give an explanation to the people of the world, we are also for the sake of the Sima family, and we also ask Your Majesty for permission to open the coffin. Sima Yi has a tough attitude, and the clan has a tough attitude.
The civil and military officials looked at each other, and they didn't know what to do for a while.
Xie Changan glanced at Sima Yi, and he arched his hand and said, "Please allow Your Majesty to open the coffin." ”
Sima Yi looked at Xie Changan's eyes with murderous aura, and he was just about to speak.
At that moment, Sima Rui stood up, he was dressed in a white filial piety robe, and said to Sima Yi: "Please open the coffin Your Majesty." ”
He didn't say much, but his attitude was tough and could not be refused, and he even overwhelmed Sima Yi in terms of momentum.
Sima Yi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Sima Rui for a moment.
"The ministers seconded the proposal!" Before Sima Yi could speak, some of the civil and military officials also stood up, and more than half of them were there.
At this moment, Sima Yi has no choice but to do it, and as a king, he must also conform to the will of the people.
Sima Yi looked at everyone present coldly, his face was gloomy, and he shouted loudly with undisguised anger: "Are you all going to rebel?"
None of the civil and military officials or even the clan relatives spoke up, and they could not afford this crime.
Sima Rui looked at Sima Yi expressionlessly and said, "We just want to open the coffin to see what is going on, isn't there something unspeakable about Your Majesty's prevarication?"
Sima Yiqi's face turned pale.
"Please allow Your Majesty to open the museum!" Xie Changan said again.
"You seconded the motion. ”
The ministers seconded. The Sima clan relatives and the civil and military officials said one after another.
So far, Sima Yi is already difficult to ride a tiger.
"King Rui, what do you mean by these words, in your opinion, what is the ulterior in this?" Sima Yi coldly swept over the clan relatives and civil and military officials, and he looked at Sima Rui with a squint of his eyes and asked.
"If there is no ulterior matter, please order the coffin to be opened. Sima Rui also looked at Sima Yi intently.
Sima Yi waved his right hand at the moment, and he said word by word: "Open the coffin, if everything is normal, everyone will be punished for disobedience." ”
He thought that this would scare off many people, but no one in the hall was moved.
Sima Rui glanced at Sima Yi lightly.
Sima Yi stood there as steady as Mount Tai, and in his opinion, even if the coffin was opened, he would not be able to find any clues.
"No!" he ordered, and more than a dozen guards stepped forward to push Sima Hong's coffin open.
With the sound of "bang......", Sima Hong's coffin opened.
Before all the clan relatives and civil and military officials came forward to check, the faces of all the guards before the coffin changed, and one of the guards pointed to the inside of the coffin and said in a panic: "The coffin is not the first king. ”
His words instantly stirred up a thousand waves.
"What did you say?" Sima Yi's face changed at the moment, he looked at the guard in disbelief, and strode towards the coffin.
All the clan relatives and civil and military officials surrounded them.
Sima Yi only glanced at it, and he couldn't help but take a step back.
"Inside the coffin is not the first king. The Sima clan said loudly.
"This is indeed not a former king. The civil and military officials also spoke.
Sima Yi muttered, "How can this be?"
He suddenly looked up at Sima Rui, pointed at him and said sharply, "It's you." ”
Saying that, he didn't wait for Sima Rui to speak, and then continued: "Say, where did you get your father's body? What kind of heart do you have to pretend to be a ghost and be at ease? Aren't you dissatisfied with me, the crown prince, ascending the throne, and trying to usurp the throne?"
Sima Yi put everyone's accusations on Sima Rui in one sentence.
At that moment, everyone looked up at Sima Rui.
"Mou Dynasty usurpation?" Sima Rui looked at Sima Yi and smiled, his eyes were full of sarcasm and said loudly: "The death of my father and even the burial were all handled by you, and now it is not my father in the coffin, in my opinion, it is you who usurped the throne?"
Sima Rui said for a moment, and without waiting for Sima Yi to speak, he continued: "If your throne is justified, why should the heavens and ghosts and gods give warnings one after another?"
"Come on, take down the wise king to the widow. Sima Yi was too lazy to talk to Sima Rui, he understood that everything today was planned by Sima Rui.
"Your Majesty, even if you take people, you have to have a name, I don't know what crime His Royal Highness Rui has committed?" Xie Changan strode out, he looked at Sima Yi and said.
Sima Yi slowly turned his head over, he looked at Xie Chang'an's murderous eyes with awe-inspiring eyes, and he scolded sharply: "Dare to question the widow's will, it is really a crime of disobedience, and Xie Changan will also be taken down by the widow!"
"Knock knock knock...... he ordered the Jin Wuwei outside the main hall to rush in immediately, and tens of thousands of Jin Wuwei held halberds and surrounded the entire hall.
"Sima Yi, what are you going to do here?" His Royal Highness King Rui is right, the death of the first king and even the burial were all handled by you, what did you do to Your Majesty for the throne?" one of the clan relatives looked at Sima Yi and said loudly.
Sima Yi's face flashed with coldness, his chin was slightly raised and swept over everyone present, and he said slowly: "Inside the coffin is the first king." ”
Everyone looked at him for a moment.
His voice suddenly rose high: "Which of you has any objections?"
The halberd in the hands of tens of thousands of gold guards flashed with an oppressive cold light, which was his confidence.
"Are you going to refer to the deer as a horse?" Sima Rui said with a sneering look at Sima Yi.
Sima Yi glanced at him lightly, and he hooked his lips and smiled: "Take down King Rui to the widow!"
As soon as he gave the order, hundreds of Jin Wuwei surrounded Sima Rui.
All the clan relatives looked at Sima Yi angrily and said, "In our opinion, it is you, a rebellious minister and thief, who should be taken down." ”
Under the cold light of the halberd, except for Xie Chang'an, all the civil and military officials lowered their heads, and no one dared to speak out, who was not afraid of death!
"Now that you think about it, everyone already knows who the real rebels and thieves are!" Xie Changan looked at Sima Yi and said loudly, his voice echoing in the hall.
"Take Xie Changan down to the widow!" Sima Yi's eyes flashed with coldness, and he glanced at Xie Changan lightly.
Since ancient times, the winner is the king, and the loser is the villain, and now he has no way back.
Jin Wuwei, who was holding a halberd, also surrounded Xie Changan.
Sima Yi raised his eyes and looked at everyone present, and he said, "The widow asks you again, is it the first king in the coffin?"
No one has spoken.
Zheng Wan walked in suddenly, followed by countless archers, the archers had already bent their bows and arrows, and the arrows were pointed directly at all the clansmen and civil and military officials in the main hall.
Sima Rui didn't have a panicked look on his face at all.
"Queen Mother, why are you here?" Sima Yi asked aloud as he looked at Zheng Wan.
Zheng Wan looked at him and smiled: "Today, this wicked person will be done by the queen mother for you!"
She raised her head and swept over everyone present one by one, and said, "Everyone who agrees that the coffin is the ancestor of the king has come forward." ”
Many of the clan members looked at Sima Rui, and Sima Rui gave them a look and motioned for them not to make a sound.
Since ancient times, it has been difficult to distinguish between loyalty and treachery, and he just took this opportunity to take a look at who was the available person among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.
None of the clansmen spoke up.
Xie Changan did not speak.
A chill flashed on Zheng Wan's face, she hooked her lips and smiled coldly and said, "Release the arrow!"
She wanted to see if it was their hard mouths, or if her bow and arrows were strong.
"Whoosh...... Sou...... Whoosh......" She gave an order, and the lowly officials standing on the periphery instantly fell into a pool of blood.
The faces of the officials present changed.
Zheng Wan smiled at the corner of her mouth, her right hand was raised slightly, signaling all the archers to stop firing arrows, she looked at the remaining officials and clan relatives and said: "This palace will say it again, the person who agrees that it is the former king in the coffin stands up, and the person who stands up can avoid death, and he can also be added to the rank of knight in the future." ”
The hall was filled with the smell of blood.
In front of everyone's eyes, a man stood up.
Then another man stepped forward.
Sima Yi and Zheng Wan looked at each other and smiled.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of people had come forward.
Even among the clansmen, some people stood up.
The rest of the people looked left and right, and they couldn't make up their minds for a while, although life is important, the reputation of the official is equally important.
The style of celebrities is highly respected, if you fall into the name of greedy life and fear of death, you are alive and living in this world.
"It's clear that there is not Your Majesty in the coffin, Zheng Clan, Sima Yi, are you not afraid of suffering the punishment of heaven if you harm hundreds of officials like this?" Song Yan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, suddenly stood up, and he pointed at Zheng Wan and Sima Yi and said sharply.
Sima Rui glanced up at him.
As his words fell, many officials stood up at the moment, and they looked at Zheng Wan and Sima Yi with fearless faces and said coldly: "Kill us! Even if we kill us, we can't stop the mouths of the people in this world." ”
Sima Rui wrote down these people one by one.
Zheng Wan looked at them and smiled coldly, and she said in a deep voice: "This palace will fulfill you." ”
She raised her right hand slightly, and said with a cold look in her eyes: "Release the arrow!"
Song Yan was in front, and everyone after him stood there fearlessly.
The archers had already bent their bows and aimed their arrows at them.
Unexpectedly, at that moment, all the archers brought by Zheng Wan fell silently, and even Jin Wuwei, who was helping in the main hall, also fell overnight.
Sima Yi and Zheng Wan were suddenly startled, and before they could react, countless Imperial Forest Army rushed in with long swords in their hands and surrounded Sima Yi and Zheng Wan.
"Presumptuous ......" Sima Yi was shocked, and his words were not finished.
The Guards made a way.
Sima Hong appeared in the eyes of everyone.
At that moment, everyone was stunned, and they all looked at Sima Hong in disbelief.
"Son, see your father!" Sima Rui walked up to Sima Hong in a few steps, and he knelt down with his hands crossed.
After him, the civil and military officials knelt down with all the Sima clan relatives, and they shouted loudly: "See Your Majesty!"
Sima Hong was full of majesty, but his face could not hide his weakness, he swept over everyone present one by one, and finally fell on Sima Yi and Zheng Wan.
"This, how is this possible?" Sima Yi looked at Sima Hong who suddenly appeared, and he was so frightened at the moment that he couldn't even speak.
Zheng Wan was also shocked.
Sima Hong looked at them coldly, and his voice suddenly rose to a high pitch and said, "Why don't you know the widow?"
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......" Sima Hong said and coughed.
Sima Yi quickly reacted, he knelt down in front of Sima Hong with tears in his eyes and said, "Father, it's great that you are still alive, and my sons thought that they would never see their father again in this life." ”
He paused, not giving everyone a chance to speak, and then said, "But King Rui kidnapped his father with the intention of rebelling?"
Sima Rui looked at Sima Yi with sarcasm, but he hadn't spoken yet.
Sima Hong scolded sharply: "You are the one who really plotted to kill the widow." ”
