Chapter 10: No King

Jin.

On the Jinluan Hall in front of the palace, the civil and military officials of each ministry were divided into two columns according to the traditional rules, and then arranged according to the level of official positions and titles, and stood in turn.

From the newly promoted three princes who are high and powerful, to the young ministers of the temples who are just qualified to go to the temple, whether they are white-haired and old ministers who have been officials for many years, or newcomers who have just been promoted and are still full of vigor and vigor, today, everyone stood slightly sideways, bowed their heads and waists, showing respect, and then turned half of their faces and looked cautiously in the direction of the main gate.

In the center of the four vertical pillars carved with nine coiled dragons around the pillars, gorgeous and noble, symbolizing the imperial power and supreme ruler of a country, on the golden dragon chair, sat a child less than five years old, wearing a set of wide dragon robes that did not fit very well because he was in a hurry, and was enduring the discomfort of his hips, trying his best to maintain a proper sitting posture, and sitting quietly on it, because he was really not tall, so his feet could not even touch the ground, but although he was hanging in the air, he did not dare to shake like ordinary children, but tried to keep it vertical, so that the child insisted on quite hard。

Sitting at the highest point of the entire hall, looking down at the hundreds of people below, he was a child, and he was naturally a little nervous, so he subconsciously closed his legs, and his little hands clenched his fists, and next to him, there was a separate position, sitting a woman dressed in a phoenix robe, dressed gracefully and luxuriously, in terms of appearance alone, in fact, she was quite young and beautiful, lifting her chin, looking down with pride on her face, just because there was a curtain to cover it, and the people below could not see clearly.

Because the monarch is too young to deal with political affairs, the queen mother has been listening to politics since ancient times, and no one has too many whispers about this, even if they clearly know that women are actually idle personalities, but this kind of empty heart but no ability of women, who will take it to heart?

The woman who was suddenly promoted from a disfavored concubine to the queen mother was more ambitious, and it was understandable, sitting next to her, she stretched out a hand and held the child on the dragon chair to calm the emotions in the child's heart.

The child who inexplicably got the throne didn't know what was going on, and he didn't know what he needed to do, but before going to the palace, his mother entrusted everything to him, remembering to listen to his mother, and he couldn't move when he sat here, so the little emperor pursed his lips tightly and looked ahead intently.

At the gate, a young man dressed in a neat and elegant official uniform and wearing a high crown with a kind smile gently raised his feet and stepped into the hall step by step.

The people outside the threshold, no matter how powerful they are, are just the soil emperors of a small place, who seem to be able to call the wind and rain, but in fact, the people within the threshold can decide their life and death with a word.

Seeing this, the young queen mother behind the curtain didn't dare to slack off, even if the other party couldn't see herself at all, but she still quickly put away the expression on her face first, and then gently pinched the little hand of the child next to her.

"Father!"

The child's voice was crisp, and the aftermath lingered, and among the courtiers, many people couldn't help but show sadness and indignation.

In the thousands of years of history of the human race in the Western Continent, the courtiers let the emperor call themselves "father", which is unprecedented, and it can no longer be explained by the chaos of the ministers.

Monarchs, ministers, fathers, sons, fathers, sons, this is the insurmountable rules set by the saints thousands of years ago, and it is the foundation of the human race to live in the world, and the pillar of the entire society, and this "father" has broken the thousand-year-old rites of the human race and overturned some things that the entire human race has followed for generations.

The sage said: "Eight dances in the court are tolerable, but they are unbearable." ”

The powerful princes, with the music and dance used only by the king, have violated the bottom line of etiquette, criticized by the saints as "unbearable", is the source of chaos, not to mention this straightforward "father", this is simply a collapse of etiquette and music, if the old pedant knows, he will inevitably criticize in public and speak out.

Because he messed up the ancestral etiquette and social order, but today, in this Jinluan Palace, which symbolizes the supreme imperial power, no one dares to stand up against him, and how can they, the old ministers who have been officials for decades, not be sad and angry?

The Lord humiliates his ministers to death, and there is honor.

Zhu Fengxian stood alone at the forefront of the entire civil official ranks, and when he saw Chen Jing walking into the main hall, he took the lead and shouted: "Welcome Dazai-sama!"

As the only person Chen Jing can trust, and in that "Qingjun side" operation, he played his role well, and he succeeded to the position of Da Situ Cai Jing, the head of the local officials, and in terms of official position alone, he was still above his father Taichang Temple Taichangqing, and he could be regarded as the nominal civil leader of the Jin State, only under Chen Jing's self-proclaimed Dazai.

Hearing this voice, the heads of the other hundred officials suddenly lowered even deeper, and they quickly bowed down and shouted, "Welcome Dazai-sama!"

Chen Jing looked at the hundred officials who bowed their heads to him in front of him, his face was calm, and he didn't have the cynical look he had before, and he dared to joke at any time, at this moment, his temperament was like a dying old man, he didn't pay attention to other people, but deeply towards the little emperor above the dragon chair, respectfully bowed to the courtiers, and said loudly: "I've seen the king!

Being worshiped by him like this, the little emperor was suddenly a little overwhelmed, and he was almost about to cry, he quietly looked at his mother behind the curtain next to him with a look for help, and forced to calm down.

With a kind smile on her face, the woman gently raised her hand and said softly, "Dazai, let's be flat." ”

Chen Jing lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, and saluted again: "The ceremony cannot be abolished, one day is a minister, and it should be the courtesy of the minister, and the king will be worshiped by the minister again." ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, a person in the civil official team suddenly scolded and said: "You thief, killing the king and messing with power, are you also worthy of being a courtier of my Jin Kingdom?"

The people around were suddenly startled, their faces changed drastically, they were like cats that had been stepped on by someone, and they hurriedly retreated to the side, revealing a middle-aged man with angry eyes and trembling all over the civil official ranks.

Zhu Fengxian's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly looked over there, his face changed again, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "Father!"

Tai Changqing scolded angrily without looking back: "Get out! Lao Tzu doesn't have a bastard son like you, who has no respect for his elders, no king and no father!"

Saying that, he seemed to be particularly puzzled, and in front of everyone, he suddenly took off his official uniform, and then took off the high crown that symbolized status and power, revealing the plain linen clothes below and a white scarf wrapped around his head.

After doing all this, looking at Chen Jing, who was still indifferent and unmoved on the other side, Tai Changqing was even more resentful, pointed directly at Chen Jing, and began to count his crimes in a loud voice.

"Your Chen family has been loyal and good for generations, hard work and high achievements, your father is trusted by the first emperor, and the official worships the great Sima, and you, as a son of man, do not think of gratitude, and have no king's law, you actually did the murder of the king and the power, and reversed the norm, and put your father and the entire Chen family into a situation of disloyalty and injustice, are you worthy of your own ancestors and ancestors? Da Situ has worked hard for state affairs for half his life, and you have done your best, and you have ruthlessly killed him, just to eliminate dissidents, and even forcibly dismissed half of the officials, you bastard, how can you dare to let the emperor call you 'Ya Father'! You are a disloyal, unfilial, unkind, unjust, ungentleman and fatherless rebellious minister and thief, everyone will be punished!"

Hearing such a naked insult, the others were frightened and silent, and one by one, the former court officials huddled in the corner, as if a flock of frightened chickens were at a loss for what to do in the face of predatory eagles.

Zhu Fengxian's face was extremely complicated, he, and Chen Jing of course knew that there would be many people who were dissatisfied with him today and the remnants of Da Situ's disciples who stood up against it, but he never thought that the first person to stand up and be the first bird to be the first bird was his father, and he scolded so nakedly, without any mercy, he didn't even know how to ask for mercy.

Chen Jing folded his hands on his waist, his expression was very indifferent, and he was not angry at all because of the other party's face-to-face insults, but asked calmly: "Has Lord Taichangqing finished speaking?"

"Thief!" Tai Changqing roared angrily: "I have been friends with your father for many years, but I have never seen your wolf ambitions, it is me, I am sorry for the first emperor! I am sorry for Lord Situ! I am sorry for the ancestors of the Jin Kingdom!"

He said it with emotion and tears, and many old people in court clothes felt something, and secretly wiped their tears, but they didn't dare to say anything to support.

The longer people live, the more afraid they are of death, especially since they are all family people, and there are hundreds of children and grandchildren of a family, so why bother to bury hundreds of lives of the children of the entire family for the sake of future generations?

Life and righteousness are eternal and difficult choices, and no one can blame them.

After saying this, Tai Changqing looked at Chen Jing and said hatefully: "In front of the Jinluan Palace, how can you allow this thief to be rampant, Your Majesty, the old minister will be the first emperor today, for the ancestor, and for the future of the Jin Kingdom!"

As he spoke, he pulled out a sharp dagger that had been hidden in advance from his arms, and frightened the people around him to retreat again, only hating that they could not escape from the Jinluan Palace at this moment.

Zhu Fengxian's face changed greatly, and after reacting, he hurriedly came to stop: "Father, don't!"

When Chen Jing heard this, he didn't show any panic, he just raised his eyebrows, and felt a little interesting.

Because isn't the "Qingjun side" the reason he used to kill Shangguan Ming and Cai Jing? I didn't expect that it would be used against him now.

As soon as Tai Changqing's words fell, several people suddenly tore open the court official clothes on their bodies, revealing the same white coarse linen clothes below, and then each held a knife and rushed over with a roar.

Zhu Fengxian just ran over to stop his father, but he didn't expect the middle-aged man to just wave the knife, and suddenly blood splashed, Zhu Fengxian screamed and staggered back, and then his eyes showed puzzlement and sadness, and his eyes looked gloomily at his father who rushed forward without hesitation, covering his injured abdomen, and bursting into tears.

Everyone looked hideous, and they all raised their swords and shouted: "Qingjun side, punish the rebel thief!"

The loud slogans resounded throughout the Jinluan Palace, and the child who was originally sitting on the dragon chair was directly frightened into the arms of the mother next to him and cried, and the woman herself was also frightened, and she was only protected by the eunuch next to her, so she could barely maintain her composure and continue to sit in her chair.

"Escort, escort!"

Someone shouted loudly, and the originally solemn hall was in chaos in an instant, and it was no longer as serious as before, and even the eunuchs and palace maids who were accompanying them outside the hall were running around like headless flies.

However, in the middle of the main hall, Chen Jing, who was surrounded by five people with knives, was still as calm as water, his hands were neatly folded in front of his waist, his eyelids drooped, and he seemed to bother to pay attention to these people at all.

At this critical moment, several arrows suddenly shot in from outside the door.

Miyagi's elite archery skills are not only accurate, but also ruthless, one after another feather arrows are not shy to shoot, and they will not worry about accidental injuries at all, and suddenly there is a scream, and the other officials have already been frightened to the ground, pouting and crying and wailing.

In the past, the high-minded and invincible Huang Zi Ministers, before the moment of life and death, seemed to be no different from ordinary people, and even worse, except for the few people who did it, the others were not shot at all, but they were still lying on the ground wailing, and when the people next to them touched it, they thought it was their own arrows, and suddenly a spirit, covering their buttocks and screaming for people to save themselves, the scene suddenly became even more unbearable.

After a rain of arrows, the chaos was over.

Chen Jing, who had been standing in place and had not moved, stretched out his foot and kicked away the knife in the hand of the fallen person next to him, and then turned his head to look at Xue Bi, the Duke of Chuyang, who had broken in with the soldiers in armor and armor behind him.

Among the five people, Tai Changqing, the only surviving one, was hit by three arrows in his body, and fell to the ground weakly, and the dagger in his hand had long since fallen to the ground, and his mouth was full of blood at the moment, and his eyes were about to bulge out with hatred.

"Rebel thief, rebel thief!"

Falling to the ground, he finally understood, regardless of the injury, he used all his strength to scold Chen Jing loudly.

This is, Zhu Fengxian, who was stabbed in the stomach, suddenly shook off the hands of the people around him, ran over in a few steps, knelt on the ground, and cried while holding his father: "Father, enough! Father!

Chen Jing just glanced coldly at the people on the ground, and said in a flat tone: "Tai Changqing, you should thank you well, the son of a thief who is also a chaotic minister, a few of you, why don't you go to the imperial doctor quickly, remember, you must heal Tai Changqing, otherwise I will ask you!"

A few eunuchs who were so frightened that they shrank on the edge of the hall reacted at this time, and hurriedly ran over, knelt on the ground, and nodded their heads in a hurry.

When the middle-aged man who fell into his son's arms heard this, he immediately struggled even more frantically, stretched out his hand to grab Chen Jing, his face distorted, and shouted loudly as if he was crazy: "I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you!

After Chen Jing finished ordering, he didn't bother to look at him again, but calmly glanced around the hall, still shrunk in the corner, his expression was nervous, and the courtiers in different states were old and young, new and old, but after this circle, all he saw were frightened and frightened eyes, and no one dared to look at him.

Chen Jing shook his head slightly, and then turned to read aloud: "In the early years of the new century, there were four thieves who sneaked into the palace and wanted to assassinate the emperor. ”

When the others heard this, they didn't know why, and their faces were blank.

After Chen Jing finished speaking, he showed a kind smile to a nervous young man standing on the very edge, and said, "Master Guo, is it okay to write like this?"

As a historian, Guo Ming shivered, but lowered his head and nodded silently, not daring to speak.

The others who came back to the taste suddenly had a chilling feeling.

"Poof!"

When Tai Changqing heard this, he spurted out a mouthful of blood from the sky, and then fell into Zhu Fengxian's arms.

Zhu Feng first grabbed his father's hand, shook it vigorously and wailed: "Father, father!"

For this only friend, Chen Jing couldn't be so ruthless, so he could only comfort: "Feng Xian, hurry up and go to the Tai Hospital with your uncle for treatment." ”

Zhu Fengxian was stabbed by his father in an unguarded situation before, the injury was not light, and after tossing for so long, the blood had already stained the court clothes, but he was still in grief, so he didn't feel it yet.

In just such a moment, the medical officer of the Tai Hospital had already rushed over with a stretcher, and then with the help of the soldiers next to him, he lightly lifted Tai Changqing and Zhu Feng, who were unconscious on the ground, up first.

"Smack!"

When passing by Chen Jing's side, Zhu Fengxian, whose face was full of tears, suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed his wrist.

Chen Jing turned his head and glanced at him, Chen Jing calmed his face and nodded lightly, Zhu Fengxian let go of his hand with confidence, and then closed his eyes silently.

After the bodies of the other four people had been dragged down, the blood had been cleaned, and the courtiers who still looked like they were still feeling palpitations stood up again, Chen Jing said: "Okay, the traitor is dead, let's continue." ”

The child on the dragon chair stopped crying instantly, and the mother next to her no longer had the pride on her face at the beginning, but only reluctantly raised a smile, and spoke on behalf of her son: "Chu Yang Gong and Dazai are loyal, not chaotic in the face of danger, and they should be rewarded for their meritorious protection." ”

Chen Jing just bowed deeply and said loudly: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The courtiers who had come to the court just now all lowered their heads, and their eyes were dark, because they knew that in the future, it would be difficult for anyone to stop the young Dazai in this court.

Many people are even wondering, from Cai Jing to this young man, has it changed for the better or worse?
