Chapter 217: Not Qualified to Be a Prince
In the White Tiger Hall, Xuanyuan Lie was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe and slowly walked up the jade steps. γLatest chapter reading. γ
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."
Xuanyuan Lie sat on the dragon chair, majestically swept the civil and military officials who were kneeling under his eyes, and finally his eyes stayed on the general Guo Zhengxiong.
Guo Zhengxiong felt Xuanyuan Lie's gaze, not afraid at all, and a sneer appeared on his lips.
Xuanyuan Lie stayed on Guo Zhengxiong's body for more than ten seconds before slowly removing his eyes, "Zhongqing is flat." β
"Your Majesty." The ministers got up as they were told, and stood on either side.
"If there is something to play, there is nothing to retreat......" Hu Gonggong sang loudly as usual.
Jiao Yongnian, the secretary of Dali Temple, and Liu Hongwen, the secretary of the Criminal Department, glanced at each other, and bowed to Xuanyuan Lie together, "Your Majesty, the ministers have something to do." β
Xuanyuan Lie looked at Jiao Yongnian and Liu Hongwen below, and glanced in the direction of Guo Zhengxiong again, seeing that he lowered his eyes expressionlessly, and his heart was even more annoyed.
"Speak." There was anger in the majestic voice.
"Your Majesty, the ministers want to impeach the general Guo Zhengxiong, who used his power for personal gain and plotted rebellion." Liu Hongwen, the secretary of the Criminal Department, started first.
All the ministers were shocked when they heard this, and they all looked at the general Guo Zhengxiong, but they saw that he looked like an old god, and there was no trace of panic on his face, nor a trace of nervousness and anger, as if he was not impeached by the Shangshu of the Criminal Department.
On the contrary, the eldest prince Xuanyuan pardon looked nervous, and cold sweat was dripping on his forehead.
Xuanyuan Lie's dark eyes shot directly at Guo Zhengxiong, but Guo Zhengxiong still didn't have any expression.
Just when the atmosphere in the main hall was depressed, Jiao Yongnian, the secretary of Dali Temple, also stepped forward and bowed down and said, "The minister also wants to impeach the general Guo Zhengxiong, collude with foreign enemies, and collaborate with the enemy to commit treason." β
When Guo Zhengxiong heard this, his lowered eyes flashed, but he still didn't make any moves, no explanations, and no refutations.
Everyone looked at Guo Zhengxiong again, this, this general is too bold, plotting a rebellion is already a capital crime of raiding the family and destroying the clan, this general even collaborated with the enemy and treason, this is not as simple as raiding the family and destroying the clan, this is to punish the nine clans.
However, seeing Guo Zhengxiong's appearance that he was fine, everyone couldn't help but wonder about the authenticity of the matter.
Xuanyuan pardon was even more nervous when he heard Jiao Yongnian's impeachment, and glanced in the direction of Guo Zhengxiong with slightly drooping eyes, but saw that he did not have a trace of panic, and suddenly his fear and uneasiness calmed down a lot, took a deep breath, gathered his mind, stood up and looked at Jiao Yongnian and said angrily, "Lord Jiao, you dare to slander the first-class ministers of the imperial court, and your crime can be punished." β
Xuanyuan Lie looked at Xuanyuan with an angry face, his eyes flashing.
Faced with Xuanyuan's accusations, Jiao Yongnian was not in a hurry, raised his eyes to look at Xuanyuan Lie and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has evidence." β
Jiao Yongnian said, took out a letter from his arms, and presented it with both hands.
Xuanyuan Yu looked at the letter in Jiao Yongnian's hand, a flash of panic flashed in his triangular eyes, and he subconsciously looked at Guo Zhengxiong again.
At this moment, Guo Zhengxiong was also staring at the letter in Jiao Yongnian's hand, looking at the somewhat familiar letter, Guo Zhengxiong was shocked, and then his eyes flashed with a decisive decision.
Glancing at the letter in Jiao Yongnian's hand, Xuanyuan Lie gave Duke Hu a look, and Duke Hu immediately understood, walked down the jade steps, took the letter in Jiao Yongnian's hand, and then presented it to Xuanyuan Lie.
Everyone looked at Xuanyuan Lie nervously, and they didn't dare to take a breath. At this moment, the White Tiger Hall was unusually quiet, there was no sound at all, and even the sound of breathing was inaudible.
Looking at the contents of the letter, Xuanyuan Lie's dark eyes instantly turned red, and the fingertips holding the letter turned slightly white, what a Guo Zhengxiong, what a general.
"Slap ......" Xuanyuan Lie directly threw the letter in his hand on Guo Zhengxiong's face.
Xuanyuan Lie's current time is full of mysteriousness, although the letter is light, Guo Zhengxiong's old face is still swollen.
Feeling the hot pain on his face, Guo Zhengxiong's triangular eyes flashed with a touch of gloom, and he didn't look at the letter that fell on the ground.
"Guo Zhengxiong, I promised you the position of a general, this is how you repay me, using power for personal gain, plotting rebellion, colluding with Xuanwu, collaborating with the enemy and treason, you are so bold"
As soon as Xuanyuan Lie's words came out, it was equivalent to directly convicting Guo Zhengxiong.
At this moment, the civil and military officials below seemed to have exploded.
"How can this General Guo do such a thing, it's just eating inside and out."
"Plotting rebellion and collaborating with the enemy to commit treason, this General Guo is really bold."
"General Guo actually colluded with Xuanwu, and this time the Guo family is finished."
......
Xuanyuan was also dumbfounded when he saw the letter on the ground about Guo Zhengxiong and Zhuge Weiming's fornication. Although he and Guo Zhengxiong were plotting to rebel, he didn't know that Guo Zhengxiong was still colluding with Zhuge Weiming, and at this moment, Xuanyuan Yu felt that he had been deceived.
But thinking that he was now on the thief ship, he had to endure it. A hint of viciousness flashed in his triangular eyes, and when he sat on the throne, he would definitely not keep him.
Glancing at Guo Zhengxiong, who had a gloomy face, Xuanyuan Lie's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said sharply, "Come on, Guo Zhengxiong is plotting to rebel, colluding with foreign enemies, collaborating with the enemy and treason, and taking it for me." β
Xuanyuan Yu was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly raised his eyes to look at Xuanyuan Lie, and when he saw Xuanyuan Lie's cold and piercing eyes, he immediately withdrew his gaze and lowered his face.
The people waited for a while, but they did not see any of the guards come forward, and they all looked at each other.
Xuanyuan Lie also felt bad at this time, and secretly gave Hu Gonggong a look.
Gonggong Hu immediately understood and quietly retreated.
Just when everyone was puzzled, Guo Zhengxiong, who had not spoken, walked out, looked at Xuanyuan Lie and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has something to do." β
Everyone looked at the arrogant Guo Zhengxiong, and they all gasped. This General Guo is too arrogant, not only looking directly at the emperor, but also not saluting.
Looking at the arrogant Guo Zhengxiong, a cold light flashed in Xuanyuan Lie's eyes.
Guo Zhengxiong was not afraid of Xuanyuan Lie's displeased eyes, and without waiting for Xuanyuan Lie to let him speak, he said to himself, "The eldest prince is gifted and talented, and he is the pillar of the country. The minister implored the emperor to appoint the eldest prince as the crown prince. β
Xuanyuan was overjoyed when he heard Guo Zhengxiong's request to make him the crown prince, but he deliberately suppressed his excitement.
Hearing this, Xuanyuan Lie turned his gaze to Xuanyuan Forgiveness to the side, and seeing the irrepressible excitement on Xuanyuan Forgiveness's face, a flash of disappointment flashed in Xuanyuan Lie's eyes.
Just when the atmosphere in the White Tiger Hall was stagnant, Gonggong Hu hurriedly ran in and said anxiously, "Your Majesty, something is wrong, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, Pang Qian, has rebelled." β
Xuanyuan Lie listened to Gonggong Hu's report, his brows furrowed suddenly, and his sharp eyes shot directly at Xuanyuan Forgiveness, and there was disappointment and pain in the depths of his eyes.
Who is Pang Qian, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, that is his brother-in-law, Pang Qian's rebellion at this time was not instructed by him, and who else thought that his useless eldest son would not have the courage even if he had this heart, but he underestimated him, this is like his son Xuanyuan Lie.
Feeling Xuanyuan's sharp eyes, Xuanyuan Yu was a little stunned in his heart, but in order to achieve a great cause, he still stepped forward and said, "Please ask my father to make his son the prince." β
Seeing Xuanyuan pardon act like this, everyone finally understood that General Guo and the eldest prince were trying to force the palace
Xuanyuan pardon took out a bright yellow holy decree from his arms, looked at Xuanyuan Lie and said, "The son has already set up an edict for his father, only the jade seal of the father and the emperor, please ask the father to fulfill the son." β
Xuanyuan pardoned and said, directly holding the holy decree and going up the jade steps.
When the crowd heard this, they became agitated again.
Some of the old ministers who originally supported the eldest prince looked sad, "How can the eldest prince be so confused?"
In their opinion, the original prince would never do such a thing, it must have been instigated by General Guo, thinking like this, these old ministers who originally supported the prince all glared at Guo Zhengxiong with indignation.
Some of the originally neutral ministers looked regretful, "The eldest prince is very wrong this time, the eldest prince is too anxious." "The eldest prince is the eldest son, and the position of the crown prince should have been his, so why should he be in a hurry.
There were also some old ministers who were not optimistic about the eldest prince, all of whom were angry, "The eldest prince is too much, and it is intolerable to do such a rebellious thing."
When Gonggong Hu saw Xuanyuan pardon coming up, he immediately stopped in front of him with an angry face. Unexpectedly, this great prince is usually obedient and modest, but he would raise an army to rebel, and he would never let him hurt the emperor.
Xuanyuan pardoned a pair of triangular eyes and glared at Gonggong Hu, this damn old slave, he dared to stand in his way, and when he sat on the throne, he would definitely be the first to destroy him.
"Get out of the way." Xuanyuan pardon directly pushed Gonggong Hu away.
Gonggong Hu fell to the ground one by one, ignoring the pain, and got up again to block Xuanyuan pardon.
"Cheng Eun." Behind him, I remembered Xuanyuan Lie's voice.
When Gonggong Hu heard this, he immediately respectfully retreated to Xuanyuan Lie's side.
"Please ask your father to fulfill your son." Xuanyuan pardon walked up to Xuanyuan Lie and handed over the holy decree.
Xuanyuan Lie took the holy decree and read it, and suddenly laughed, "Be brave and resourceful, calm and wise, brave and decisive...... Is this you, you're really going to put gold on your face. β
Xuanyuan Lie said, and directly threw the holy decree on Xuanyuan pardon's face.
Xuanyuan Yu's face was blue and white for a while, and his face was extremely ugly. His fists were clenched, and a touch of cruelty flashed in his triangular eyes.
Slowly picked up the holy decree on the ground, and looked at Xuanyuan Lie's gaze that was no longer afraid, only Yin Owl, "You have to cover this jade seal if you don't cover it today, and I will sit down on the position of this prince." β
Seeing Xuanyuan's pardoning yin owl's expression, Guo Zhengxiong's lips hooked up a wicked smile, "The old minister advises the emperor not to waste any more time." β
Guo Zhengxiong raised his hand and slapped it twice as he spoke, and a group of Praetorian Guards immediately rushed in, and Pang Qian, the commander of the Praetorian Guards, bore the brunt.
Xuanyuan Lie looked at these Praetorian Guards, and a thick murderous aura flashed in his dark eyes.
Prime Minister Zhang Qixiu saw these Praetorian Guards rushing in, and knelt down directly in front of Xuanyuan Lie, "Your Majesty, the eldest prince rebelled against him and committed rebellion, such a heavenly reason is not tolerated, and the great rebel is not qualified to be the prince at all, please think twice."
Seeing this, the other ministers knelt down one after another, "Please think twice, the emperor." β
For a while, please think twice, a few words resounded throughout the White Tiger Hall.
Xuanyuan Yu looked at the civil and military officials who were kneeling down, his face was extremely ugly, and his triangular eyes flashed with a poisonous snake-like light. rushed down the steps directly, pulled out Pang Qian's long sword, and stabbed Zhang Chengxiang's head.
"Bell ......" Just when everyone couldn't bear to see Prime Minister Zhang Cheng's tragic death and closed their eyes, a mysterious qi knocked down Xuanyuan Yu's long sword.
Xuanyuan pardon was also directly shocked by that Xuan Qi and fell to the ground.
"It's so lively, why don't you invite this king" was still the cold voice, but at this moment, it blew into the hearts of the civil and military officials present like a spring breeze.
