Chapter 16: I Let You Kneel!
After listening to the report of the guards of the Imperial Forest Army, the ministers of civil and military affairs looked at Su Chen one after another, nervous, confused, and staring......
Guo Sikong also raised his head, his eyes were full of surprise, he didn't expect that Situ and Sima had said to him to do great things, just to do such a thing!
Hundreds of officials asked for their lives, this is something that rarely happened in the 100,000-year history of the Great Xia Dynasty.
According to the recorded historical records, only when the dynasty was dying, the emperor was mediocre, and the people of the ten major counties and the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were dissatisfied, would there be a hundred officials asking for their lives.
In the past 100,000 years, except for this time, there have only been two requests for orders from hundreds of officials in the Great Xia Dynasty.
And every time a hundred officials ask for their lives, it is the victory of the vassals and the concession of the imperial power.
Even the last time the hundred officials asked for help, they directly pulled down the emperor of the current dynasty and were forced to let the young prince ascend the throne in advance.
Everyone held their breath.
Although only two-thirds of the officials participated in the request for the death of the hundred officials this time, it basically represented the will of the current Great Xia court
It seems that this should be their means.
Su Chen smiled, his smile was a little cold, he waved his hand, and said lightly, "Xuan." ”
"Xuan Baiguan is here!"
Lizi's voice trembled a little, and he opened his throat and shouted.
Lihuazi's voice fell, "Boom!" Hundreds of officials from various ministries, large and small, as long as they were qualified to go to the Taihe Temple, all rushed in.
Even the guards of the Imperial Forest Army couldn't stop it, and they didn't dare to stop it, the people in it were all ministers of the court, and if they were injured and touched, they couldn't afford to bear this sin.
At the same time, this also made Su Chen sigh in his heart, the lack of military power in his hands, and his current control over the Imperial Forest Army guarding the palace was not enough.
The hundreds of officials rushed in, filling a large part of the empty Taihe Hall at once.
This group of officials was divided into two columns, standing alone in the center of the Taihe Palace, with eager steps, firm expressions, and surprisingly uniform movements, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
They walked forward in silence with their hands tied, their official robes majestic, and then stood in the center of the Taihe Palace, raising their heads in unison and looking at Su Chen.
"Presumptuous! How dare you storm the Taihe Palace!"
Liwuzi's face was full of shock, and he scolded loudly.
Although he had never seen such a big scene, he was still sharp, and he had to defend the dignity of the emperor.
When the emperor of the dynasty opened the early dynasty, how could he tolerate the courtiers who disrespected the emperor so much!
No matter what the officials ask for their orders, this is disrespectful to the emperor! Contempt for the imperial power!
"Shut up, you old eunuch who blinds the Holy Hearing!"
The Ministry of Rites sneered, and a big hat was covered, making Lizhuzi stunned and angry.
He was so dignified, he didn't do anything, and he somehow became a villain who deceived the saints?
What is this?
"I, the Ministry of Rites is still in the south to patrol the court! Today, for the safety of the Great Xia Society, I will die in the court!"
"I, Hubu Shangshu Gongyue! Today's face is sage, for the safety of the Great Xia Society, I will die in the court!"
"I, the servant of the Ministry of Ministers is cold and silent! Today, for the safety of the Great Xia Society, I will die in the court!"
......
One after another, solemn and solemn voices sounded from the ranks of hundreds of officials, and officials continued to stand up and salute, and identified themselves in a deep voice.
It seems that they came prepared, and the one who came was not good!
An official's admonition may be ignored by the emperor, or even deliberately suppressed, but if it is ten or a hundred officials, then the effect is not as simple as 1+1.
The officials who are qualified to go to the Taihe Hall are all the core officials of the Great Xia Dynasty, and the number is about two hundred, representing the voices and attitudes of the high-level and powerful groups of this dynasty.
The officials of Guo Sikong's faction in the court all looked ugly, and more people were at a loss, and Guo Sikong also hurriedly turned his head to look at Su Chen, staring at the emperor's expression, wanting to see a hint of clues.
With such a big posture put on by hundreds of officials, how will the emperor respond?
From ancient times to the present, except for the founding emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty and the first emperor of the human race, Su Chen the Great, none of the emperors of the past dynasties can completely control the situation in the court, and there are more or less situations where the imperial power is restricted.
Although His Majesty's name is also called Su Chen, this Su Chen is not Su Chen!
When today's son is today, will he choose to compromise and back down at this time?
However, Guo Sikong was destined to be disappointed, and he had seen the slightest fluctuation in the emperor's expression.
No fear, no fear, no surprise, no shock, no fluctuations......
Su Chen's eyes were still deep and indifferent, and he looked at the officials in the Taihe Hall calmly, as if he was watching a farce.
"The ministers and others jointly petitioned for their lives today, in order to protect the safety of the family and the country, and to save the decadence of Great Xia......"
After all the officials opened their mouths in turn, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Nanxun began to speak in a deep voice, opening his mouth for the sake of Jiangshan Sheji.
It is worthy of being the book of the Ministry of Rites, and this method of pulling tiger skin and covering a big hat is really easy to come by.
However, Su Chen was indifferent, just raised his hand and said lightly: "Shut up." ”
"Your Majesty, the minister's mouth can't be closed, the minister must speak!"
The eyes of the Southern Patrol Dynasty were resolute, like an impassioned righteous man, standing in the center of the Taihe Palace, and admonishing the emperor for the sake of his family, country, and society.
This look, no matter how you look at it, is the appearance of a loyal minister who has left his name in history.
"The minister thinks that the current Great Xia Dynasty is ......"
"I'll tell you to shut up!"
Su Chen snorted, his voice suddenly raised, he "rubbed" up from the dragon chair, walked to the white marble long steps and stood still, quietly looking down at the group of officials who came to the Taihe Hall to ask for their lives.
The audience was silent.
The voice of the Southern Tour also stopped abruptly.
I don't know why, the emperor at this time gave the Southern Patrol Dynasty an inexplicable sense of fear and danger, which made his heart tremble.
"Hundreds of officials gather in groups, and they rush to the court!
Su Chen's voice was extremely cold, staring at the hundred officials, and said indifferently: "You guys, do you still have the emperor in your eyes, do you still have the laws and rules of the Great Xia Dynasty, and do you still have the consciousness of being a courtier!"
"Your Majesty, the ministers are here today to ask for their lives, naturally there are some rules that cannot be followed, if Your Majesty feels that the ministers are lawless, and the ministers are willing to ask for guilt after asking for their lives......"
Hubu Shangshu Gongyue gritted his teeth and stood up, and said in a low voice, he couldn't let a person in the Southern Patrol Dynasty face the coercion of the emperor.
"The hundred officials are asking for their lives, it is for a big matter, and I naturally understand. ”
Su Chen's voice returned to calm.
The hundred officials breathed a sigh of relief, and sweated in their hearts, it seems that Situ and Sima were right.
Your Majesty, you are really still afraid of the hundred officials asking for their lives, after all, this is the general trend of the court, and this is not something that Your Majesty can stop alone.
Thinking of this, the Southern Patrol Dynasty and others were full of confidence.
"Still. ”
However, Su Chen said lightly: "Since you are here to ask for your life, you must also know how to respect and humble yourself!"
"The hundred officials asked for their lives, in order to teach the Son of Heaven what is courtesy, what is for the people, and what is for the country, and the others should know better what is courtesy, for the people, and for the country!"
"However, why don't you kneel when you see me in the Taihe Palace? Is this what you keep saying about the hundred officials asking for their lives!"
Su Chen's voice was calm, but it resounded in the quiet Taihe Palace.
The emperor's words are true, the hundred officials' requests for orders are the biggest weapon to restrain the emperor's courtiers, but if the hundred officials can't even abide by the most basic etiquette, where can the hundred officials ask for their lives? !
The Southern Patrol Dynasty and others looked at each other, but what the hundred officials paid attention to was a momentum, and what they paid attention to was the courage and determination to twist into a rope.
If they were to kneel down now, wouldn't their momentum be half as weak?
But if you don't kneel, it doesn't make sense!
The Southern Patrol Dynasty and the others were silent for a while, Guo Sikong's face was shocked, and he looked at Su Chen with some surprise.
He really couldn't imagine that the emperor was still so strong at this time, and so quickly found a loophole for hundreds of officials to ask for their lives, suppressed the momentum, and mastered the initiative and rhythm of the court.
Is this still the gentle and low-key Nine Emperor Princes at the beginning?
His Change...... It's too big!
"Why, don't kneel?"
Su Chen's face was calm, so that people couldn't hear the joy and anger, he just stood on the white marble steps, his eyes swept the audience, and he said in a cold voice: "Then I am a little puzzled, the hundred officials ask for their lives but do not kneel, what is the difference between what they say about asking for their lives and intending to kill the king?"
"Your Majesty, the ministers have no intention of rebelling, they just want to join forces and hope that Your Majesty will ......"
The Southern Patrol Dynasty was in a hurry, he was sweating profusely, and hurriedly shouted loudly.
If this hat of rebellion is covered, it will be countered by the emperor, and the calculations of Situ and Sima will all fail.
"That being the case. ”
Su Chen interrupted the words of the Southern Tour, took a step forward, and shouted: "I let you kneel!"
The jade crown bead curtain swayed, and a golden yellow robe moved without wind, and Su Chen's voice echoed throughout the Taihe Palace, which was shocking.
It doesn't matter what you want to do, but it is above this temple of peace......
Face saint?
Kneel first!
