Chapter Twenty-Eight: Revealed in All Forms
It is not easy to establish a new king, and it is normal to have opposing voices, Liu Ye glanced at the middle-aged man who was protesting loudly, and had a vague impression of him.
The middle-aged man was gorgeously dressed and thin, and the blue and yellow brocade robe did not fit well, as if it was hanging lightly on a hanger. Yellow has always been the symbol of the royal family, especially the bright yellow without a trace of variegation, although the emperors of the Western Han Dynasty at that time were not popular to wear bright yellow dragon robes, and basically used dark colors. However, bright bright yellow has begun to be used in daily necessities, and the Western Regions have always kept up with the pace of development of the Western Han Dynasty.
Therefore, Dawan's royal family completely monopolized this bright yellow, except for members of the royal family, ordinary people are not allowed to use it, and even the ministers who are just red do not dare to wear bright yellow without authorization, for fear of angering the royal family. The old king who was assassinated liked to wear yellow robes, as if in this way he was more kingly supreme, and as for the other members of the royal family, including the prince, they could only wear yellow clothes, and they would never steal the limelight from him.
It can be seen that this uncle who dares to choke with her is a member of the royal family, Liu Ye is not in a hurry to respond, and observes the people around him without a trace, as well as the prince and princess of Dawan who are sitting opposite him.
Princess Dawan frowned tightly, glaring at the uncle impatiently, her bloodshot eyes revealing obvious disgust and hatred. Her brother Chang Wan Shizi is not as obvious as she shows, but judging from his expression, he also hates him quite a lot, who will be the person that the brother and sister hate together? Could it have something to do with the first king? It was the king who killed the Han envoy and was later beheaded by Li Guangli for public display!
Most of the people around the uncle were Dawan's ministers, and since Liu Ye entered the hall, they maintained a groveling posture, but after the uncle protested, they had a little bit of joy on their faces to varying degrees, and they waited to see how Liu Ye would take it.
"The first king was not from a royal family, and he was mediocre during his reign, and the prince was not qualified to inherit the throne!" The uncle saw that Liu Ye was silent, and urged him, "The ownership of the throne is not trivial, please think twice, princess!" ”
His tone was not kind, and the word "please" was squeezed out between his teeth, and even a fool could tell that the uncle was extremely dissatisfied with the princess's proposal. The ministers who had been keeping their heads down couldn't find a good opportunity to counterattack, and they were feeling aggrieved in their hearts, seeing that such a kind of person came forward to fight against the princess, they were not willing to be left behind, and they expressed their positions one after another.
"Please think twice, please think twice, please think twice ......"
These people are just afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and they don't have the courage to say it, and when others open their mouths, they are busy echoing it, trying to put pressure on Liu Ye. Since Dawan can't get rid of the fate of being a vassal, at least they have the right to choose the king in their minds! And the so-called kings in their hearts are, of course, more beneficial to them!
"You, you old immortal ......" Princess Dawan clenched her silver teeth, her body trembled with anger, her index finger trembled and pointed at the seemingly respectful ministers opposite, and scolded angrily, "Father and the king's bones are not cold, you dare to betray him, and actually question the qualifications of the prince!" If you have no conscience, when did your father treat you badly when he was alive? When the Han army came to the city, who risked death to intercede with General Li? Dawan's treasury is empty, who is saving food and clothing to save rations for you? It's my father, who feeds you! It's better to raise a group of white-eyed wolves than to raise dogs, I ask you, who is not qualified for the son of the world! ”
"Your father's throne was snatched, and he wagged his tail to the Han army and begged for mercy, your family is just an unpopular lineage nobleman, and he has not contributed to Dawan in all dynasties. It has nothing to do with the royal family at all, and it is not much better than those untouchables, if it weren't for General Li who was confused and casually arranged a king, he wouldn't have been able to take his turn! The uncle glanced at her with contempt in his eyes, a swaggering tone.
"Nonsense! Why don't you say that my father, in order to save the lives of your dogs, was the first to rush into the palace and capture the King of Sin, and then handed them over to General Li! Who said General Li was confused, which of you has the guts? "Princess Dawan has just lost her parents, and she can't tolerate someone slandering them.
The uncle straightened his waist, squinted at her condescendingly, snorted, and said, "You are to the point, if it weren't for your father betraying the Dawan royal family, the two kings would not have died." He is sacrificing others to fulfill himself, which is clearly a despicable villain's practice, how did he become a big hero who saves the country and the people in your mouth? It's ridiculous, it's pathetic, you betrayed your country to seek glory, and you still have the face to say that you have made meritorious contributions! ”
"Hmph, if you're not afraid of death, why did you survive until now? Where did you hide when the King of Sin was beheaded? Why don't you die with him? Princess Dawan jumped up, crossed her hands on her waist, and scolded with raised eyebrows, "Once a son of heaven and a courtier, you are the lackey of the King of Sin, and the mastermind behind the attempt to set off Dawan's civil strife." You say, did you instruct the assassins to murder my father, you say, you say, you say......"
Liu Ye covered up the fact that Esanke was an assassin, and Princess Dawan took it for granted that the assassin was not her husband, and her husband was only temporarily absent and would return in a few days.
"No, it's not ......me," the uncle waved his hand in alarm, explaining to the skeptical ministers, "don't listen to that crazy woman's nonsense, I am doing the right thing, how could I do such a thing!" ”
The uncle was busy wiping his sweat, and in any case, he couldn't let others know that he had secretly financed Isanke, although he couldn't be sure whether the assassin was Esanke, but he always had the intention of murdering the former king, and he must not let people know, otherwise they would all target him in turn.
"Crazy woman, don't think that being a princess for two years is really a golden branch and jade leaf, you are just getting into the Dawan royal family with your father who betrayed the country and sought glory. I tell you, I don't recognize your identity, you and your brother are not worthy of being called royals at all. Being a man should know how to be sufficient, two or three years of scenery is enough, now that your father is gone, do you still want future generations to sit on the throne of Dawan? Phew, don't do it yourself! ”
The uncle spat on the opposite side, and the spit Xingzi splashed Princess Dawan in the face, she pulled Shizi's arm, and Shizi lowered his head and sighed without making a sound. Princess Dawan suffered the pain of the death of her parents, and Xiaofujun didn't know where to go, and now she didn't even help her brother, so she was very aggrieved, and sat on the ground with a flat mouth and cried.
"Look, this is the shrewd nature of a crazy woman, the mud can't support the wall, she was not born a phoenix, even if she climbs a high branch for a while, she still can't hide her feathers!" The uncle felt that he had defeated their brother and sister with a three-inch tongue, making them faceless, and looked at Liu Ye proudly.
"Your Royal Highness, you have seen it all! There is a saying that hearing is false, seeing is believing, Princess Dawan is no different from a street shrew, how good can her brother be! Now you should understand why the prince is not qualified! ”
The ministers who nodded to the uncle, secretly happy, it seems that the ruthless princess who is rumored to be at the center is also helpless.
Liu Ye smiled slightly, leaned forward, and humbly asked him: "So, who do you think is qualified?" ”
Hearing this, the uncle's head was raised higher, and he hurriedly pulled up the little boy next to him, patted him on the back and said proudly: "He is the real son, he is the son of the king, pure royal blood." I am his uncle, and I firmly support him as the new king! Hey, you say, who is qualified to be king! ”
The uncle motioned for the others to help, and they obeyed: "Naturally, it is Xiao Shizi." ”
The uncle threw Liu Ye a smug look, Liu Ye looked at him, and asked again: "I don't know if the king you are talking about is the king of sin that the princess said?" The King of Sin who was beheaded by General Li for public display? ”
"Uh......" The uncle was stunned for a moment, and said in a rough voice, "That crazy woman said that she was the king of sin, is she the king of sin?" I'm right when I say he's the real king of Dawan! ”
Liu Ye sat back, leaned comfortably on the cushion, and said indifferently: "The first king is the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and he is the rightful king of Dawan. As for the king whom you support is the king of sin, it is true, he has been condemned and beheaded, and the son of pure blood whom you support is the son of the king of sin, and what is your intention in inciting your ministers to make the son of the king of sin? ”
The uncle opened his mouth and stared at Liu Ye in a daze, listening to her continue: "You keep saying that the first king betrayed the country to seek glory, and the first king was the king of Dawan, how can he sell the country to seek glory?" It is already disrespectful for you to slander the previous king, and it is even more inappropriate to spread rumors, insulting the son of the prince to support the son of a criminal minister, and your actions have constituted the crime of seeking power and usurping the throne! In addition, judging from the degree of your hatred for the former king, this princess has reason to believe that you colluded with the Hun assassins to murder the first king, and the assassins were Huns, who were not only able to sneak into the palace without being discovered, but also performed on stage in a grand manner, and drugged everyone's wine, which he would never be able to do alone. ”
Hearing the meaning of Liu Ye's words, the uncle panicked, shook his head and denied: "I didn't help the assassin with sweat medicine, I didn't ......"
The corners of Liu Ye's mouth hooked up a smile: "Did anyone say that the wine is sweat medicine?" Have you ever heard of it? ”
Everyone shook their heads, their suspicious eyes focused on the uncle, who had drugged them and almost killed them at the hands of the Assassin.
Misfortune came out of his mouth, the uncle realized that it was too late for his mistake, he left the little boy and staggered back a few steps, he didn't even have a chance to explain now, if he didn't want to die, he had to escape. It's a pity that this road is impassable, and the guards who are quick to see and move forward to catch him without waiting for Liu Ye to speak.
Liu Ye waved his hand: "Take the prison and wait for it!" ”
The uncle struggled with all his strength, asked for help from his former colleagues, and shouted angrily in despair: "Don't be deceived by the Han people, the assassin is not a Hun at all, the assassin is Esanke, the prince of Yucheng Isanke, and the little man of the crazy woman Esanke......"
Princess Dawan stared at her uncle dumbfounded, turned her head to look at Liu Ye in disbelief, and the ministers also raised their eyes to look at her, as if they all wanted to get an answer.
Liu Ye was too lazy to say anything, and sneered: "Does anyone still believe what he said?" Who would have thought that he was the one who colluded with the assassins to poison the wine! Take him down! ”
The uncle's howl of the wolf gradually became inaudible, and everyone came back to their senses, and secretly wiped a cold sweat, knowing the face and not the heart, it was too insidious, fortunately, the princess saw through his true face, otherwise I am afraid that I would not know how to die in the future. However, this black-hearted princess does have a few brushes, and in just a few words, he can show his original form.
Liu Ye took in their expressions and said calmly: "What objections do you have about the ascension of the prince to the throne?" ”
"No, no...... It's up to Her Royal Highness the princess to decide......"
The gun shot the first bird, no one dared to do it against the princess of Xie Wu, it is better to die than to live, if you can live one day at a time, don't make any accusations, if you can't eat and walk around, it's all over.
