Chapter 546: On the Court (I)

The next day, the morning meeting.

The appearance of King Su made most of the courtiers look surprised.

But......

In the past few days, things have changed, and everyone is a little numb, so they have withdrawn their eyes after being surprised and continued to discuss the business - there are many serious things to discuss in the past two days: the new monarch candidate, the assassination of the crown prince, and the concubine Xu. Exhaust......

The first two of them have been fought for several times to no avail, for the sake of efficiency, today it is said that the first will be Xu Taifei from . I will solve this matter as much as possible.

After all, even if Concubine Xu was the head of the nine concubines in the Xianjia Dynasty, Zhaoyi, looking at the harem, she can be regarded as the number one person, but she is not the kind of concubine Nuan who was promoted to the concubine by giving birth to a son, she was the concubine who was promoted directly after Emperor Xianjia went - a good person said since. It's all right. It's over, everyone knows the cause and effect: this concubine can be said to have been forced to death by the Wei family!

This kind of thing is naturally not easy to delay.

After a long time, there are all kinds of things, which is not a good thing for the Wei family and the imperial court.

And the most important thing is that it is now approaching the end of the year, if this matter is not solved sooner, it is difficult to leave the coffin of this concubine in the palace for the New Year?

"The concubine is loyal, and she has a deep love for the first emperor, although she is not, but her family must not be without sorrow and honor......" In fact, there is nothing difficult to do in this matter, although the Wei family is very unwilling to lose the chess piece of the King of Shu, but the concubine is clearly martyred for the first emperor, and left a suicide note to ask his son to go to the emperor's tomb to guard filial piety for three years, and it is not easy to stop it.

I can't stop it if I am cheeky, but it is just a handle to speak to the Su family, so it is better to be generous!

Therefore, Wei Xi started as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and decided to follow the order of the Empress Dowager, bury Concubine Xu, and at the same time, add the title of Concubine Xu's maiden brothers and nephews - the Xu family is not from a high background, even if it is sealed, it is just like that in the eyes of Wei Xi and others, it is just like that, and the real top interests cannot be separated, so everyone quickly passed it unanimously.

As for the King of Shu, the Wei family had united a large number of courtiers to submit the table to the Empress Dowager and reject the succession of the King of Shu, and now it is ...... Now it is natural to continue to put it on the table, but whether the Queen Mother allows this list or not, everyone doesn't care anymore.

After all, a prince who is about to set off for the emperor's tomb for three years can't participate in the next stormy meeting, so whether he is a prince or a nephew, what does it matter to everyone?

After the matter of Concubine Xu was discussed, the court was silent for a while, and the somewhat strange atmosphere was broken by the words that suddenly sounded-

"There is a way, and the country cannot be without a king for a day......"

"About the assassination of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince......"

But it was Wei Xi and Qiu Shuxia who spoke at the same time, it was naturally Qiu Shuxia who wanted to discuss the candidate for the new monarch, King Su finally came back, but the prince was lying on the sickbed and was breathing, such a good opportunity, he couldn't wait to fight!

But Wei Xi is not the case - King Su has just returned, and the people who support him are overjoyed, and the momentum is flourishing, but it is the Wei family's side, the prince was assassinated, due to the lack of optimism in the recovery situation, the possibility of competing for the throne has been denied, and the spare King of Shu has also become a waste son because of the fierce opposition of Concubine Xu, and their current choice is only one concubine Lu Hehao, okay?!

Not to mention how the Wei family is stunned by the only candidate now, just that they didn't expect to support Lu Hehao before, so the two sides have not communicated at all, and now they will definitely suffer a loss if they directly pinch King Su's side, and Wei Xi will not agree to discuss the issue of the new monarch today!

At this moment, Wei Xi saw that Qiu Shuxia really couldn't wait to promote King Su to the throne, and couldn't help sneering: "Although Your Majesty has issued an edict to abdicate, it has not yet been officially conceded!" Qiu Shilang kept saying 'the country cannot be without a king for a day', is this not the case that Your Majesty does not exist now?! In vain, you also read the books of the sages, and you are so arrogant and tall that you are simply insulting and inappropriate! ”

"Although Your Majesty has not officially cedicated the throne, he has stopped caring for this time!" And Qiu Shuxia did not show weakness, and also sneered, "Originally, Gu Xiang presided over the overall situation, even if His Majesty was negligent, it would be fine!" But because of the assassination of the prince before, Gu Xiang was imprisoned, and now there is no one in the court, and there is no one in the court all day long, and all the discussions are trivial! It's just a few days, if it continues to delay, will Jiangshan Shejiyan be safe?! So how can you not set a new monarch as soon as possible to continue the prosperity of my Darui?! ”

Wei Xi glanced at King Su coldly: "You want to establish a new monarch so much, but you don't know who the candidate is?" ”

"Wei Shangshu, don't talk nonsense!" Qiu Shuxia was not fooled, and said hesitantly, "Is this new gentleman what one of my servants said to stand up for?" Naturally, it has to be unanimously recognized by the government and the opposition, and the clan! ”

Although everyone in the court now knows that the new monarch in Qiu Shuxia's mind must be King Su - but King Su is only the nephew of Emperor Xianjia, and when Emperor Xianjia still has his own son under his name, openly proposing to establish King Su will definitely attract a large number of opposition, and it is very fierce!

So Qiu Shuxia refused to admit it, but kicked the ball back to Wei Xi and said, "It's Wei Shangshu, who has been advocating for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to ascend the throne some time ago, and now that I want to discuss this issue, should I come out and say a few words?" ”

While speaking, Qiu Shuxia's eyebrows did not hide ridicule: Who doesn't know the prince's current injury?

Wei Xi's eyes sank, the anger in his eyes flashed, and he said expressionlessly: "Qiu Shilang said so, but do you think that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's accession to the throne is the destiny of heaven?" In that case......"

"Wei Shangshu's words are not right!" Qiu Shuxia hurriedly interrupted him and said unceremoniously, "The Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven, and the first thing is to be blessed!" Otherwise, how can Ze be surrounded by rivers and mountains? Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the son of His Majesty, after the previous assassination, he has been in discord with his noble body, and he has not been able to get up so far! In such a situation, it is unbearable to put the burden of the world on him, right? ”

Isn't this just saying that the reason why the prince was seriously injured in the assassination was because he was blessed and couldn't be the emperor?!

Although Wei Xi does not love the prince as much as Empress Wei, but in the end, he is the grandson of his own relatives, and a good child has been pitted like that by the Su family, and his future is ruined, and his health is gone, and the pioneer of the Su family is still talking cool here-if it weren't for his background in the Wang family, the kung fu he cultivated has been practiced since he was a child, and he would almost not press the front to give Qiu Shuxia a punch!

Rao is like this, Wei Xi was also lucky to press the rage, and said coldly: "According to what you say, when the first emperor ascended the throne, he was also in poor health, could it be that His Majesty Emperor Huizong still passed the throne to the first emperor, is it because he is not sympathetic and does not love the first emperor?" ”

Emperor Huizong did not treat Emperor Xianjia very well - otherwise Emperor Xianjia would not have fallen ill and died in the prime of life.

The problem is that courtiers can't say that!

In these years, filial piety is emphasized, and being a child is not good for parents to be said, and then on the contrary, if a son is not loved by his parents, everyone will think that there must be something wrong with this child!

Otherwise, how could his father and mother not hurt him?

The worst of all, I will think he is very pitiful - look, that person, his own father doesn't like him!

So the question is, even if Emperor Xianjia has been dead for several years, who dares to say that Emperor Xianjia has a problem in this court, or that this recognized wise and capable emperor is pitiful?

Gu Shao didn't dare to say this, okay?!

The court was quiet for a while.

Qiu Shuxia was caught by Wei Xi for an inadvertent moment, and he couldn't help but be speechless - he was thinking about countermeasures quickly, when he suddenly heard a clear voice sound, and said unhurriedly: "The reason why the first emperor ascended the throne with illness was because among the sons of His Majesty Emperor Huizong, except for the first emperor, they were either as cruel as the king of Li, or silently escaped from the world like the king of Yi, but the first emperor could take on the heavy responsibility of the society, so the first emperor had to give up the plan to concentrate on recuperating the imperial body and take over the responsibility of the people of the country!" ”

"Otherwise, the first emperor has always been glorious and self-denying, how can he be compared to those who are bent on fighting for power and profit, and plotting to usurp the throne?"

Everyone followed the prestige, and when they saw that Jian Xubai's words were calm and natural, they all felt very speechless: the fierce battle for the prince during the Huizong period, as well as the bloodbath of the clan and high-level nobles in the early years of Xianjia, how many wonderful historians can't be rounded, and they can't hide it from future generations-who doesn't know this in their hearts?

It's a shame that Jane and Nothing can say it as if it were true!

It seems that Emperor Xianjia really had to drag his sick body to take over the throne because all his brothers were not angry - in fact, this first emperor fought harder than anyone else, so he could win?

But just as the ministers didn't dare to say that Emperor Xianjia was actually not liked by Emperor Huizong, they didn't dare to say that Emperor Xianjia won the throne by intrigue!

After all, Emperor Xianjia was recognized as a Ming monarch.

Then take a look at the history books: How can there be a Ming monarch who has relied on intrigue to ascend to the throne throughout the ages? It must be the unanimous recommendation of the people's hearts and minds that the destiny of heaven belongs, and people really can't refuse, so they can barely ascend the throne!

And Qiu Shuxia was reminded like this, and suddenly stroked her short hair and smiled: "It's exactly this reason!" The reason why the first emperor ascended the throne was because the rest of the princes were not masters, and they had to stand up for the sake of the world! But now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not, in this case, how can we let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince drag his sick body to worry? Even if Wei Shangshu doesn't care for his grandson, his majesty and the queen can't bear it, right? ”

Wei Xi coldly glanced at Jian Xubai, although the Wei family had long known that Yanhou Mansion had chosen King Su, but this was the first time that Jian Xubai openly stood on King Su's side at the court meeting - it can be seen that King Su returned safely and appeared in the court, although this prince has not said a word until now, the effect has begun to show!

"If Concubine Xu has never been self-sufficient. ...... end" Wei Xi sighed secretly when he thought of this, cut off this untimely regret, and said loudly: "According to the words of Qiu Shilang and Yan Hou, is there a more suitable candidate for the new monarch than the crown prince?" In that case, why did the two of them avoid talking about it? As courtiers, we are loyal to the king of the country and the people's livelihood, which is our duty! ”

"Fang Cai Qiu Shilang kept saying that the new monarch should decide as soon as possible, but why did he keep going around in circles here?!"
