A few days later, in the court, just as the group was deliberating, the inner court office submitted a notebook, intending to ask the emperor to crown Xiao Yongye as king.

Today's ministers of the inner court are Gu Yingwu, and I saw him striding forward with a jade wat in his hand in the astonishment of the ministers, and bowed down in front of the emperor's seat: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that the Duke of Yasukuni is the important minister of the court, regardless of the lord of Gongshang Yan County, and only with the great merit of the Duke of Yasukuni to the society, and his great loyalty and courage are unmatched, and he should be crowned king." ”

The courtiers were excited, looking at the emperor, and beating small drums in their hearts, this ...... Not long after he returned, he planned to withdraw the general and seal the king, and to take away the wartime command of the army from Xiao Yongye. The wartime command of the army has never been decided by the emperor alone, the clan discussion, the inner court presents, and finally the emperor nods before it counts. Although it was said that the emperor wanted to nod, in fact, after the inner court submitted it, it was roughly a certainty.

And the clan and the inner court, the mention is nothing more than those few people, Xiao Yongye and Qu Qingfeng, these two people are the generals of the past generations, so that the clan and the inner court can rest assured. The emperor has long been unable to see it, but it is not easy to violate the rules on the surface.

But today, Gu Yingwu submitted an excerpt to ask for the king, which shows that the inner court and the clan have agreed, which means one thing, the interests of the clan and the inner court and the emperor are on the same line. Then withdraw Xiao Yongye, suppress the breeze, suppress the generals, and take all the military and political power in his hands.

This...... It's a word, the courtiers all turned their minds away at this time, and King Rui glanced at Gu Yingwu obliquely, and his hand moved slightly. Gu Yingwu lowered his head and saw it, so he smiled and signaled that Prince Rui was fine, Prince Rui was relieved, and retreated quietly and quietly, for fear of being caught by the emperor as a scapegoat.

"Aiqing has been outside the Hangu Pass for a long time, and he is fierce, as Qing can see, except for the Yasukuni Gong, who else can lead the army to suppress and deter thousands of troops?" The emperor pinched the purple jade Ruyi in his hand, and looked at Gu Yingwu with a smile in his eyes, one Gu Cizhuang, one Gu Yingwu, all of them are Yuanchen, but there are still bones, which can be regarded as the pillars of the court.

Gu Ying unintentionally said, you still ask, don't you let me speculate on your thoughts, I don't, I thought about taking a step forward and bowing: "Back to the emperor, all the people in the world, suppress and deter the body, but his heart may not be able to obey." Therefore, Weichen thought that it was not the best to fight in the army, and Weichen returned from Hangu Guan, and saw that the scenery in various places had not been opened, and the people were uneducated. If our dynasty can educate it with sincerity, it will definitely make the people outside the country happy and submit to our dynasty, then why does the world need swords. In addition, there are important generals in the dynasty, how can it be that there is only one Yasukuni Duke, and the freedom of the Yan County Lord is withered, how can he endure the separation between him and the Yasukuni Duke, and the husband and wife are looking at it from afar. ”

Gu Yingwu's words are reasonable, and there is absolutely nothing to pick, but if you really want to pick, it is also a loophole everywhere. When Gu Yingwu's words went up to the emperor's heart, the emperor's face was pleasant, and the courtiers below naturally understood it. Of course, there is no shortage of people in this world who love to be different and like to stand out from the crowd.

For example, the minister of Zuo Counseling immediately took a step forward, bowed down and shouted: "Your Majesty, the ministers think it is impossible, and the Yasukuni Gong is not crowned king, all because it can deter the Quartet." This is good that the emperor has a sharp blade, even if it is hidden for a long time, it is still hanging there, which is enough to deter the enemy. However, if the furnace turns the sword into a plowshare, although it is a manifestation of benevolence and righteousness, it also has less reliance in front of the enemy. ”

So the courtiers naturally divided into two factions, one was the sleek faction that supported the king; One faction is the old ministers and direct ministers who do not give an inch and oppose the king. The emperor just looked at it like this, let them fight, but the emperor didn't express his position, and gradually gave birth to a faction, and the mud faction, such as the treacherous and cunning Rui Wangye.

In the end, Gu Ying did not say a word: "Your Majesty, whether this is the king or not, let's discuss it here, after all, it is just a discussion, it is better to invite the Yasukuni Gong to come, if the Yasukuni Gong is willing to be sealed, it is naturally a high reward and a generous reward, if not, we are also pushing the boat down the river, and the Yasukuni Gong is the heart of the people." ”

The emperor was noncommittal about this proposal, he was afraid that he would be rejected in the court, but when he thought about it, he was the emperor, was he still afraid that a courtier would not succeed, so he waved his hand and asked the inner supervisor to go to Xuan Xiao Yongye.

Xiao Yongye hurriedly came, and when he waited for the emperor to summon him outside the main hall, he suddenly remembered that when he went out, Gu Yange smiled and waved his hand, and his heart was warm, and those reluctance faded slightly. It is said that there are only generals who died in battle, there are no old and dead soldiers, and soldiers should have charged on the battlefield, but things in this world always have to be one and two.

Maybe the emperor didn't show it so obviously, and he was too deeply concerned about power, and he wouldn't have the idea of quitting the battlefield. Maybe he has always been just a selfish person, although the idea of serving his family and country is pressed in his heart, but more often, he just wants to live a stable life.

"The emperor has a decree, and the Duke of Xuanjing will see you."

The little eunuch outside the door hurriedly called Xiao Yongye: "Lord Jingguo, the emperor has summoned you." ”

Xiao Yongye responded and hurriedly strode into the hall, with a body of battlefield atmosphere, walking in the eyes of everyone, a soldier for a day, a lifetime in the army, even if he unloaded a body of military power, he was still the invincible General Xiao on the battlefield: "Weichen Xiao Yongye to meet the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live." ”

The emperor seemed to be very happy to see Xiao Yongye, and shouted again and again: "Yasukuni Gong hurry up, these days are gone, Aiqing all take a look, Yasukuni's face is full of spring breeze, which makes me jealous." ”

King Rui came up at this time, and the person who didn't mix a word just now was faster than anyone else: "Your Majesty, Weichen looked at the face of the Duke of Yasukuni and smiled, and he really thought he was wrong when he didn't adapt for a while." Tsk, Yan'er is just not ordinary, she can boil Xiao cold noodles into hot water. ”

Xiao Yongye listened silently, with a faint smile, this ridicule, getting closer to each other, is also a means of the emperor, it used to be commonplace and fully devoted, but today it is a little insensitive: "Weichen thanks the emperor's holy grace, it is all up to the emperor to decide, and Weichen and the lord of Yanjun have today's joy." ”

"Come on, stand up straight and speak, and don't get tired of bowing down one by one. Eternal Night, you are not an outsider now, and I will not beat around the bush with you, so I will say it directly. The emperor's straightforward performance made the courtiers below feel relieved, only to listen to the emperor and say: "Eternal night is due to the society, the government and the opposition know it, and I want you to make a choice now." One is to continue to fight on the battlefield, and the other is to accumulate merit and seal the king, and stay with the wild goose. ”

Xiao Yongye stared, as if he was thinking about it, this guy is now also pretending to be deep, so that he can act: "Your Majesty, Weichen has been fighting with his father since he was a child, and he grew up in the barracks when he was a child, and now he has left the barracks for a while, which is really a little uncomfortable." ”

After speaking, Xiao Yongye looked at the emperor's face, and was really a little uncomfortable and unhappy, Xiao Yongye glanced at it, and suddenly fell to the ground: "Although Weichen is not adaptable, he does not dare to have the trust of Prince Ke, nor does he dare to have the expectations of the clan, Weichen should take care of the lord of Yan County wholeheartedly." The emperor of the micro-ministers, the ministers are willing to be crowned kings! ”

For a while, the ministers were in an uproar, Xiao Yongye was probably a king in the Jing Dynasty, although Jinzhou Hou had military merits, but even now, the emperor had never moved the idea of being crowned king, for Jinzhou Hou, the emperor had a thought - cutting the grass and eradicating the roots. But Xiao Yongye, the emperor is afraid that when he wants to use it, there will be no one to use, since Xiao Yongye knows the taste, it is better to keep it, it is also a basis.

With Xiao Yongye's own wishes, coupled with the emperor's acquiescence, the inner court presented another fold, and Xiao Yongye's matter of sealing the king was decided, and he was originally going to be crowned Prince Ke, but Xiao Yongye pushed it without saying a word. The emperor and the courtiers also understood, so they discussed the title of Heng, and Xiao Yongye was the five courtiers of the Jing Dynasty with different surnames. Three days later, the will of the king came down, and the people did not react much under the deliberate appeasement, in fact, in the eyes of the people, Xiao Yongye should have been crowned king, how could ordinary people know what "the king is not in charge of the army".

"Lao Xiao, it's time to congratulate you, you are one of our people who has been crowned king." Gu Yingwu raised his glass to congratulate.

Xiao Yongye smiled, much calmer than when he first received the holy decree: "At the beginning, I should have laughed at me, I wanted to be crowned king with a different surname, and I was whimsical, but now I have already passed you, and the bet on who will be crowned king first can be settled today." ”

Gu Yange watched from the sidelines, in fact, she could completely feel the loss in Xiao Yongye's heart, in fact, she didn't want this man to have his pride, and he had been so proud all his life, but the current situation was that if you didn't shirk, you would never think about withdrawing again: "Brother, you were not kind at the beginning, how can you be crowned king earlier than others." You are the eldest son, and you want to be crowned king no matter what, so you even use this to the authorities. ”

Gu Yingwu only glanced at it, and said coldly: "Even if I don't have this advantage, I have already surpassed them, if I hadn't been angry with my father and ran away alone, I would have been crowned king a long time ago, and it would have been his turn to take the lead." ”

Gu Cizhuang sneered and said: "You can also speak, I'm sorry for you, I see that you haven't learned anything else outside the gate, so you learned this mouth to be as round as Awuzi!" ”

King Chen, who was already silent on the side, was even more depressed, this is really called lying down and being hit by an arrow, and protested in a sullen whisper: "What's the matter with me, don't get involved with me, I didn't participate in your gamble!" ”

"You wanted to participate at that time, you were outside the gate, and at that time you were still a people, a barbarian." Gu Cizhuang could see that King Chen was depressed and deliberately stirred up trouble here. How could he think of it, King Chen glanced at him and didn't talk.

Gu Yange was a little inexplicable, did this person come to drink, or did he volunteer to drink, did he come to drink sullenly. Gu Yange couldn't understand it, but Xiao Yongye understood, and patted King Chen's shoulder, and King Chen glared at him, meaning that you robbed me, what else are you shooting......

Gu Yange began to conceive JQ very unkindly, and on the other hand, Gu Yingwu said that Jiang Xingyu was coming, and Gu Yange's spirit was even more sufficient.

"Cizhuang, you're not kind, what kind of person are you in the yard, you, look at my jokes!"

Gu Cizhuang hurriedly waved his hand and shouted wronged...... Well, the drama is coming!
