Chapter XVIII Your Majesty is to decide

Hundreds of officials asked for their lives, stirring up the changes in the court, and this huge turmoil permeated the entire imperial capital, which was shocking.

However, when the magnates of all sizes in the imperial capital had just learned about this matter, the hundred officials' requests for orders had already been suppressed by the emperor.

All the officials knelt on top of the Taihe Palace, and none of them got up.

According to the previous etiquette, hundreds of officials face saints, kneel down and sing, and the emperor will at least say: "Zhong Aiqing, flat body." ”

This is the etiquette between the monarch and the minister, and it is also the most basic respect.

But Su Chen didn't mean to let the hundred officials calm down at all, he glanced at the hundred officials kneeling in the Taihe Hall lightly, and turned around and sat on the dragon chair.

"Say, hundreds of officials ask for life, what is the so-called matter?"

Su Chen's cold voice sounded faintly.

It seems that His Majesty deliberately wanted us to kneel all the time.

Nan Xunchao felt bitter in his heart, he really regretted it, why did he go to the banquet last night, why did he get involved in this matter.

How could he not have taken the initiative to ask for his life last night, he would not be so embarrassed now, and he would not need to face the pressure of the emperor.

Situ and Sima are good at tricks, hiding behind the scenes, and all the difficulties have been thrown on my head; if I succeed, it is easy to say, if I fail, if I fail......

"Alas. ”

Nanxun sighed lightly in his heart, he thought a lot, he bowed his head and kowtowed, and said in a low voice: "Now the Great Xia Dynasty is suffering from internal and external troubles, the rebellion of the Eight Kings, and the disaster of the orcs...... Everything has made the soldiers and people of Great Xia anxious, and at such a time of national crisis, it is even more indispensable for the court to appease the court and the outside without auxiliary ministers, so the hundred officials jointly petitioned for your majesty's forgiveness for the offense of Situ and Sima yesterday. ”

"What do you mean is that I want them to be reinstated?"

Su Chen raised his eyebrows and smiled faintly.

Although what the Southern Tour said was very vague, everyone heard it.

Hundreds of officials ask for their lives, such a big battle, just to let this group of people get back the black yarn hat for themselves?

I can't see that Situ and Sima are getting older, and this official addiction is really big.

"Your Majesty, in such a difficult situation of the imperial dynasty, it is not appropriate to change the position of the three dukes, it is inappropriate to be in Jiangshan Sheji. ”

The Southern Patrol Dynasty opened his mouth sincerely.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Chen Situ and Wang Sima are both pillars of the country, if Your Majesty dismisses the two adults because of some disputes in government affairs yesterday, it will inevitably lose the hearts of the people!"

"The ministers seconded it!"

Hundreds of officials spoke one after another, and their feelings were sincere, and many people beat their chests.

yes, that's great!

These are all loyal ministers of the country!

"Then what do you mean that the country cannot be without three dukes in one day?"

Su Chen smiled, and the indifference in his smile became more obvious, but he was wearing a jade crown bead curtain, and no one could see Su Chen's expression at this time.

"This ......"

The Southern Patrol Dynasty was speechless for a while, he sensed the trap in the emperor's words, and did not dare to answer rashly.

But the shrewdness of the Southern Patrol Dynasty does not mean that other courtiers are also so smart.

"Yes, Your Majesty Mingjian!"

Among the hundreds of officials, some people couldn't help shouting, knelt down and marched out of the ranks, and shouted with excitement on their faces: "Your Majesty is Mingjian! Your Majesty is really Mingjian! The country cannot be left without the three dukes in a day, and the ministers of the three dukes are so important that they can be easily transferred, this is detrimental to the foundation of the country! Let my Great Xia Society be turbulent!"

"For the sake of Great Xia, for the sake of the human race, Your Majesty should let the two adults reinstate their posts!"

it!

Are you a fool?

Nan Xunchao's heart was cold, and his face became extremely ugly.

Nan Xunchao hurriedly turned his head and stared at the official who was speaking at the exit.

What an idiot!

Only a political idiot can say such a rebellious thing!

Don't you think we're in trouble enough!

"Your Majesty, now that the national crisis is at hand, I beg Your Majesty to promise us that the two lords, Situ and Sima, will be reinstated, reinstate the court, and contribute to Great Xia!"

The official didn't seem to see the expression of the Southern Patrol Dynasty, and began to shout again, his face full of excitement, as if he had seized an opportunity to leave a name in history.

It is a great opportunity to successfully participate in the political behavior of hundreds of officials asking for orders, and the hundreds of officials asking for orders can be recorded in the historical records.

If you can stand up and say a few more words in the midst of the hundreds of officials' requests, and you can influence the emperor's decision-making, it will undoubtedly leave a strong mark in history.

How could the Southern Patrol Dynasty not know the thoughts of this official, he was so angry that he was about to vomit blood, and his kneeling body was shaking.

You say you're stupid, so why harm us?

Don't talk about it, let me tell you!

The Southern Patrol Dynasty was pale and sweaty.

He only felt that his eyes were black, and he almost fell to the ground, and the Southern Patrol Dynasty had already realized at this time that he had lost this political power struggle......

From the moment this official spoke, he was defeated!

"Shut up!"

Su Chen didn't speak, and some people were furious.

The person who shouted loudly was Guo Sikong.

A fierce shout made everyone tremble, this old man has such a big voice!

The official who spoke was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but turn to look at Guo Sikong, as if complaining about why Guo Sikong interrupted his passionate and sonorous words of plea.

"You bastard, damn it!"

Guo Sikong sneered, his originally cloudy eyes became deep, his originally rickety body straightened up, and his body exuded this solemn aura, this is the momentum of the real minister of the country!

Only truly talented ministers have such confidence and aura.

"Where does Guo Sikong say this, I think about the country and the emperor, where does the word bastard come from?"

The official's face sank, and he was very dissatisfied.

Guo Sikong scolded him in front of the court's civil and military officials, and no one could bear it.

"Are you embarrassed to say that you are thinking about the emperor?"

"Look at what you just said, is that what a courtier said?

Guo Sikong was obviously angry, spat at his mouth, stretched out his hand, pointed at the official tremblingly, and shouted.

"What is the name of a country, one day is indispensable without three dukes! Have you taken Your Majesty in your eyes?"

"What is the so-called national disaster, let the three princes control the court! Is this court the third duke's? This is His Majesty's court!"

"What is the meaning of moving the Three Dukes is the loss of the Great Xia Sheji? My Sheji of the Great Xia Dynasty is the army and the people of the ten major counties! It is Your Majesty in front of you! These are the real Sheji of Great Xia!"

Guo Sikong drank one step at a time, and after three drinks, his fingers were about to poke at the official's face.

"You bastard, you really deserve to be punished by the Nine Clans!

Guo Sikong gritted his teeth, his white beard trembled, and he was extremely angry.

He has been an official for decades, working hard all the way, dedicating his life to the Great Xia Dynasty, and has seen countless filth and darkness, but even in his old age, he hates such bastard officials the most.

You can be greedy, you can be bad, you can form a gang, but you can't forget this!

The society of the dynasty, can the ministers of the three princes bear this great name?

"I ...... I ....."

The official didn't react until now, he was trembling all over, his face was as white as paper, his lips trembled and he couldn't hold back a word for a long time.

How could I be so stupid, how could I be so quick to say things that I shouldn't have said?

The Southern Patrol Dynasty on the side had already regained his calm, controlled his mood very well, and knelt quietly like this.

This is not a sin of war, and it is not my fault.

"What Lord Sikong said is right, this person is really damned!"

"Yes, his heart can be punished, and the person behind it can also be punished!"

"I think today's hundred officials are asking for their lives, and I'm afraid it is also secretly manipulated by Situ and Sima, in order to cause trouble to the court again!"

......

The faction officials behind Guo Sikong jumped out one after another, indignantly accusing the kneeling officials.

Nan Xunchao trembled, lowered his head and did not speak, he had already expected such a scene.

Even if he is the most eloquent person among the hundred officials, he has nothing to say at the moment, and he is defeated step by step.

The emperor is not so simple, plus with the help of Guo Sikong and his faction, how can this be fought?

Nan Xunchao closed his eyes weakly, and there was some despair in his heart.

"Your Majesty, this matter is not trivial. ”

Guo Sikong saw that the atmosphere of the situation was almost transferred, and he didn't pay attention to the stupid official who was so scared and frightened that he was paralyzed, he turned around directly and saluted Su Chen respectfully: "Please Your Majesty Mingjian, please Your Majesty decide." ”

"Please Your Majesty, please make a decision!"

"Please Your Majesty, please make a decision!"

"Please Your Majesty, please make a decision!"

......

A group of officials hurriedly shouted and saluted and stood firmly in line.

Since Guo Sikong wants to help the emperor, then let's help too! Resolutely follow in the footsteps of Guo Sikong and the emperor!

Su Chen's expression was indifferent, the jade crown bead curtain covered his face, no one could see His Majesty's eyes and expressions, and no one knew how His Majesty would judge this matter.

In any case, this huge request for the lives of hundreds of officials, under Su Chen's decisiveness and Guo Sikong's strength, has become a farce, and the threat level has plummeted.

Next, it is the moment when the emperor reaps the fruits of the war, and how much benefit he can gain in this political struggle depends on His Majesty's own wisdom and means.

Guo Sikong was calm in his heart, and he was not as angry as he showed it.

He has done enough, if he needs his assistance to even finish, then he really looks down on the emperor.
