Chapter 331: Drifting Away
Yan Hong was trapped between the elders and the hundred officials, and he couldn't help Sima Hongyan, and now only he could help himself. Sima Hongyan's eyes rolled, and he had a plan.
She slowly walked up the two steps of the grade platform, and asked Yan Ze directly: "May I ask Second Highness, you keep saying that I will bring trouble to Yanling as the new emperor, is there still less trouble in Yanling now?" Since His Royal Highness doesn't want to obey the emperor's edict, then I want to ask His Royal Highness, if you are the emperor, how do you solve the current predicament of Yanling? Also, how do you fulfill the emperor's last wish to unify the five kingdoms? You have already had a bad record of helping rebels rebel against you, how can you gain the trust of the people of the world again? ”
The series of questions became more acute than the other, and every time he heard a question, Yan Ze's face became ugly. However, Sima Hongyan didn't intend to be polite to him, and the questions were still being thrown out one after another.
"You ordered someone to injure His Highness the Nine, causing him to suffer incurable pain, should you give an explanation to His Highness the Nine? How do you explain the innocent Seven Highnesses and Eighth Highnesses who were killed by you? What do you do with the ministers who have opposed you before? Dongning has launched internal and external aggression against Yanling, what is your response? These are all questions in front of His Royal Highness, and I would like to ask His Royal Highness to give us all an answer! Sima Hongyan asked aggressively.
Indeed, everything Yan Ze had done before was vivid, and Sima Hongyan asked questions about revealing his scars, but it was also a problem he had to face.
Sima Hongyan asked exactly what the ministers were concerned about, and everyone turned their eyes to Yan Ze, whose face was red and white, waiting for his reply.
The Queen Mother saw that Yan Ze was silent on the side, and she was anxious, so she opened her mouth to defend Yan Ze a few words.
Who knew that Sima Hongyan had already seen the Queen Mother's actions, and before the Queen Mother could speak, Sima Hongyan preemptively said: "The Queen Mother!" Now it's not that the child makes a mistake, and the parent can come out and say a few polite words to expose it. His Royal Highness is already an adult, not to mention that he wants to be the emperor of Yanling now, so he will be responsible for what he has done, and he must give everyone an explanation. Otherwise, the ministers will not be convinced, the people will not be convinced, and the people of the world will be even more dissatisfied. If such an untrustworthy and unrighteous person sits on the throne, it will invite a large-scale invasion by other countries. Therefore, these problems must be explained to us by His Royal Highness himself! ”
Yan Ze's forehead began to sweat, and he really couldn't answer any of these questions. Although he has a lot of ghost ideas on weekdays, he is confused when he really faces national events, because he has never thought about them.
Seeing Yan Ze's face full of embarrassment and stammering, the ministers all shook their heads in disappointment, secretly thinking that this Second Highness was really a useless kid, moving his bad intentions, calculating people Maybe he was okay, but he was useless when it came to business.
Sima Hongyan sneered twice and said to the ministers: "Ladies and gentlemen, are we going to nominate such a person who doesn't know anything to be the emperor?" Do you want such a person to lead Yanling? I'm worried about how long Yanling can hold out after handing over Yanling to him! ”
At this time, a military general said: "No, Second Highness, we can still let Nine Highnesses succeed to the throne!" The personality and skills of His Royal Highness Nine are obvious to all, and Weichen can definitely trust His Royal Highness Nine. ”
The Queen Mother was also busy saying at this time: "Yes, yes, yes! His Royal Highness the Ninth is also okay, and the mourning family also agrees to let His Royal Highness the Ninth inherit the throne. ”
Who knew that Yan Hong said at this time: "Your kindness Yan Hong has received it, but I am already a crippled body, and I am disheartened, and as soon as the matter is over, I will stay away from the imperial city and go to my teacher to continue cultivating." I'm afraid that I won't be able to take on such a heavy responsibility, so I would like to ask you to choose someone else. ”
Unexpectedly, Yan Hong was leaving, Sima Hongyan looked at him with wide eyes in surprise, and said, "Why are you doing this?" ”
Yan Hong smiled indifferently and said loudly, "Don't you still understand? After these major changes, the Yan Dynasty's qi has run out, why should everyone cling to the old thoughts? What Yanling needs now is change, only by letting Yanling change completely, Yanling will get rid of the shackles and rise up again and strive to be strong, otherwise everything will be in vain! If you want to hear my opinion, I will nominate Sima Hongyan as the new emperor of Yanling, and only she has the ability to lead Yanling out of the predicament and revive the great cause of Yanling. ”
"You...... You ......" The Queen Mother was so angry by Yan Hong's words that she scolded: "You are really a good son and grandson of the Yan family!" ”
Yan Hong turned around and bowed to the Queen Mother and said, "Queen Mother!" The one who is still obsessed with it is you, and you are still unwilling to face the reality for the sake of a surname and the honor of a family. When one day the banner of Yanling is trampled under the feet of the enemy, and the name of Yanling is replaced by another country, who cares about the surname of the former Yanling royal family? Even if people remember, the Yan clan can only be crowned as the slave of the dead country, and at that time, the Yan clan will only bear humiliation and infamy, do you have to wait until that time to wake up? ”
The Queen Mother was stunned by Yan Hong's question and was speechless for a long time, she didn't think about it in the face of Yan Hong's question. She thought that those things were too far away from her, and that those things could not happen, at least she didn't believe them, and after all, she didn't want to believe them.
Seeing such a confused Queen Mother, Yan Hong had already said everything he should have said, he gave a deep salute again, smiled, and slowly walked off the stage without looking back.
"Hong'er! Hong'er! The Queen Mother couldn't hold it anymore at this time, got up and screamed, tears raging and heartbroken. In fact, it was only at this moment that she figured out that in this deep palace, the only person she could hope for and make her feel at ease was Yan Hong, the grandson she had always disliked.
Because only Yan Hong's body still has an awe-inspiring righteousness, only when he seems to have a trace of hope in the Yan family dynasty. And when Yan Hong walked out, the Queen Mother felt that her heart was suddenly hollowed out, as if she had lost something very important, which made her feel that the only hope she had had been dashed.
Only then did Sima Hongyan understand why Yan Hong was living in peace with the person who cut off his arm, it turned out that he had come to his senses! He knew that the Yan royal family had come to an end, and hatred could only make him lose more relatives, once the Yan royal family lost its former respect, maybe all that could be left was that little bit of family affection that had long been neglected.
Yan Hong is the person who sees it most thoroughly in this royal family!
Maybe he changed after getting to know Sima Hongyan, because the most ordinary joys, sorrows, and sorrows that Sima Hongyan had were exactly what Yan Hong didn't have.
Living in that cold palace every day, facing the indifferent people who lived inside, Yan Hong felt that he was suffering. He sometimes even longs that he is not a prince, but an ordinary Jianghu person. Maybe if that's the case, Sima Hongyan might like him.
Now almost all of his brothers died in a battle for imperial power, and he himself was left with a lifelong disability. But the rest of the people are still fighting and grabbing. Yan Hong is tired and tired!
It's good to be able to hand over Yanling to Sima Hongyan, this is the most amazing woman Yan Hong has ever seen. Yan Hong felt that her previous self was not worthy of her, and her current self was even less worthy of her. So leaving may be the best ending! He still trusted Sima Hongyan for no reason, he believed that Yanling would only look new in Sima Hongyan's hands.
The huge grief made the Queen Mother's eyes blacken, her chest tightened, and she couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of blood and passed out. The queen and the others were so frightened that they ran up to help them crying.
Sima Hongyan hurriedly shouted to the eunuch who was stunned: "Go and call the imperial doctor!" The eunuch suddenly came to his senses, and ran out as he agreed.
Sima Hongyan shouted to the queen and the others again: "Help the queen mother to rest in the back, and the imperial doctor will be there in a while!" The queen and the concubines in the harem held up the queen mother and went to the harem in despair.
Yan Ze was about to follow him to the harem, but Sima Hongyan behind him said: "Second Highness, please stay first, we still have something to say!" Yan Ze was stunned and stopped.
There was silence in the main hall, and the continuous events had made the officials sigh.
At this time, a person suddenly said loudly: "I am willing to follow the emperor's last wish and elect Sima Hongyan as the new emperor!" ”
Everyone was shocked, turned their heads to look, and saw that the person who spoke was Liao Ziling, the general of Zhenguo.
Liao Ziling said: "The old man's life was saved by Miss Sima, if it weren't for her, Yanling would have fallen into a place of no return." Miss Sima is upright, loyal, and brave and wise, this year to establish a red-faced female army, command to win the Five Nations Competition, alone in the Dongning Imperial City, single-handedly quell Yan Hao, Yan Qi mutiny, which thing is not shocking the world, shocking the world? The old man trusted the emperor's vision and was willing to entrust the future of Yanling to Miss Sima. After that, he looked at Xiangguo Li Mingzhong.
It seems that the two of them have already discussed in private, and Li Mingzhong also said at this time: "We are old, and our brains are not good, so we can't see so far." Perhaps through Miss Sima's extraordinary wisdom, it is not impossible that one day she can really lead Yanling to unify the world, and I am also willing to recommend Sima Hongyan as the new emperor of Yanling. ”
Both the civil and military ministers said so, what objections do others have? You look at me, I look at you, hesitated for a moment, and then said together: "The ministers are willing to follow the emperor's edict and recommend Sima Hongyan as the new emperor of Yanling!" ”
Sima Hongyan took a deep look and said loudly: "Although Hongyan is still young, he also knows right and wrong. I know that many adults' recommendations at this moment are not from their hearts, after all, Hongyan is a woman, and adults still have doubts about me in their hearts, which is normal. Hongyan doesn't do those hypocritical concessions here, nor does he say those high-sounding polite words. I made a pact with you adults for one year. If in this year, what I Sima Hongyan does can't satisfy you, I'm willing to automatically give way, and then ask you to choose another Mingjun, I don't know if you can agree? ”
Unexpectedly, after being recognized by everyone, Sima Hongyan would say such a thing, and made a one-year appointment. Although the ministers were a little skeptical about the authenticity of Sima Hongyan's words, they still saw Sima Hongyan's sincerity.
Yan Ze looked at everything that was happening in front of him, his face was like ashes, and he couldn't imagine that from this moment on, the owner of Yanling would become Sima Hongyan, this little girl in her early twenties, turned out to be the new emperor of Yanling. He was a little skeptical that all this was true, could it be that he was dreaming now?
"Yan Ze!" A call pulled Yan Ze's thoughts back, but he didn't expect Sima Hongyan to change his face so quickly, so he immediately changed his name.
Sima Hongyan stepped onto the grade stage and faced Yan Ze face to face, his eyes were sharp and his expression was serious.
Yan Ze panicked and asked, "What do you want?" ”
"Actually, it was you who assassinated the emperor! I'm not wrong, right? Sima Hongyan said coldly.
