Chapter 33: The Emperor Kneels
Under the high platform, the hundred officials who bowed to the ground began to speak for the Seven Emperor Uncles. The Seventh Emperor Uncle is indeed too much today, this is a naked wilderness in the imperial power. But once the emperor forces the Seven Emperor Uncles to be in a hurry, there will definitely be civil strife in Nanzhao.
"What do you mean by Brother Huang? When you shoehorn a woman into this king, do you have to go through the king's will in advance? Now that this woman has entered the palace and become the princess of this king, you will kill her with a rod without asking a word. Didn't the royal brother feel that he was trespassing by doing this? ”
Uncle Seven Emperors has always been a problem for the emperor, which is known to all officials of Nanzhao. But over the years, at least on the surface, he has maintained the image of a brother and a brother, and although there are often political discords, they will not be so tense.
It seems that this time the emperor is angry, and the seventh emperor uncle is also angry.
"Trespassing?" Emperor Hongde said with a dark face: "I pointed out marriage for you for your good, and now I see that you have been wronged, and I am angry for you." Not to mention that I have the right to marry you, and I have the right to give anyone the death penalty except you, just say that I think about you, as your brother, how did I trespass? ”
"Is the royal brother really for the sake of his brother?"
"What do you mean?"
Nangong Jin's words of neither yin nor yang once again poked Emperor Hongde's heart furious, but on the contrary, he had no way to take this younger brother.
"What does it mean, the imperial brother himself should be very clear, today the younger brother came to the early dynasty, just want the imperial brother to know one thing: the seventh princess is the king's woman, she is just not good, the king gives her death, or divorces her, that is the king's business, and no irrelevant person can interfere. Even if it's you, the royal brother, you can't! ”
Emperor Hongde's eyes narrowed dangerously, and after a long time, he sneered: "Okay, I won't interfere with you." But you just ignored the laws and discipline of Nanzhao on the main hall and openly killed the commander of the Sipin Praetorian Guard, what crime should you be guilty of? ”
Although angry, the emperor was secretly happy at this moment. On weekdays, he couldn't catch the handle of this good brother, and now he finally did such a big mistake, if he gave up, how could he be worthy of himself?
Even if he can't kill him, he can at least imprison him, and as for whether he will die of some incurable disease in the prison, or whether the prison will accidentally burn all the prisoners inside, that's his business.
As long as Nangong Jin died, he didn't believe that the Black Gang Army could escape from his palm.
"The commander of the Praetorian Guard is not a mere fourth-grade official, and the princess of this king is a first-grade lady. But he dared to commit a crime and tried to arrest the princess with a rod, according to the law of Nanzhao, shouldn't he punish the six clans? Forget about the other Praetorian Guards, the younger brother hopes that the imperial brother can punish the six clans led by the Praetorian Guards after the early dynasty. ”
"Nangong Jin, don't deceive people too much! I see that I have pampered you for the sake of your mother, and I have forbearance a lot, but you are so ignorant of lifting. Do you really think I'm scared of you?
It was my order to order the impostor and her wild seed to be killed, and he was just going to carry it out, so what was the crime? The country has national laws, and the family has family rules, but it's you, ignoring the laws of Nanzhao, killing the commander of the Praetorian Guard in public, despising the court, and being lawless! Come on, take Nangong Jin down for me, put it in the prison, and let it go after hearing it! ”
The commander of the Praetorian Guard is dead, and the deputy commander has taken over the position of commander for the time being.
In order to prevent the Seventh Emperor Uncle from attacking again, the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard directly brought hundreds of Praetorian Guards to the palace.
"Uncle Seventh Emperor, please don't embarrass your subordinates." The deputy commander had a solemn face, and he did not have the slightest fear in the face of the high-ranking Seventh Emperor Uncle.
Facing the attitude of the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard, Emperor Hongde's face obviously improved a lot. finally let him not only regain face, but also put Nangong Jin in prison. If Nangong Jin can die in the prison this time, his heart disease for more than ten years will be gone.
Nangong Jin looked at Emperor Hongde with the appearance of a villain, sneered, and took out a bright yellow silk silk from his sleeve.
After Emperor Hongde saw the bright yellow silk, the pupils in his eyes suddenly shrank.
"The emperor's edict, please also ask the imperial brother to kneel down and receive the order!"
"Nangong Jin, you are presumptuous! You have already read the edict of the emperor in public 13 years ago, and now you have taken out the edict, do you want to confuse the pearls and fake the edict? ”
"The younger brother did read out the edict of the emperor 13 years ago, but who told the imperial brother that the emperor only left an edict to the king?"
"You ......" Emperor Hongde pointed at Nangong Jin, so angry that he couldn't say a word.
"If the imperial brother doesn't believe it, then ask Qin Tianjian to confirm it, so that the imperial brother will not frame this king with this."
Seeing this, the officials of Qin Tianjian immediately stepped forward to appraise it, and after several people had completed the appraisal, they replied: "Your Majesty, the edict in the hands of the Seven Emperor Uncles is indeed the edict of the former emperor, and it is written by himself. ”
After hearing this, Emperor Hongde's temples burst and glared at Nangong Jin fiercely. But the other party didn't feel the emperor's attempt to stare out thousands of holes in him at all, and asked with the iceberg face that had not changed for ten thousand years: "The emperor's edict, will you accept it or not?" ”
Although Nangong Jin was standing under the high platform, at this moment, Emperor Hongde felt that he had been directly trampled into the dust by the younger brother in front of him.
He is dignified and respectful, and he should be the highest power in this Nanzhao country. But now, not only are the gods of the Shenwu Sect pressing on top of his head, but there are also those so-called super families who don't take him seriously, and now even a small prince dares to make him kneel in front of his civil and military ministers in the court.
But he didn't dare not accept the emperor's edict, and he didn't dare not kneel. He cursed the emperor thousands of times in his heart, he didn't understand why the emperor was so partial, since he liked his old man so much, why didn't he directly hand over the imperial power to the old man when he died?
Since he has been made emperor, why do you have to make so many edicts to bind him? Hit him? Trampling on his majesty?
looked at Nangong Jin angrily for a long time, and saw that he didn't have the slightest idea of taking back the edict, so he came to the bottom of the steps with great reluctance, lifted the dragon robe, and knelt down towards Nangong Jin.
The emperor knelt down, and all the courtiers simply prostrated on the ground.
The next moment, the bright yellow edict was thrown to Emperor Hongde by Nangong Jin: "This is the secret decree of the first emperor, you can see it for yourself." ”
Emperor Hongde knelt in front of Nangong Jin, opened the edict with trembling hands, and exposed the green tendons on his hands and temples, even Nangong Jin was thinking, would this imperial brother be angry with him like this?
"Has the royal brother finished reading?"
......After reading the edict, Emperor Hongde only felt that his head was groggy, which was infuriated by the sudden rise of qi and blood.
