After the nighthawk and the night owl settled in the palace, Rong Zhao followed Xiao Junjue into the city, and did not return to the Chu Wangfu at that time, but directly entered the palace.

The King of Qi fell, the King of Chu had an army of several million, and none of the people in the court who could only flatter dared to come out and say that this was not a return to the rules, but everyone said that the King of Chu was needed to preside over the overall situation.

Xiao Junjue sat in the court with a big sword and a golden horse, and even wore a sword. You must know that there is a rule in the palace that no one is allowed to carry a sword with him, except for the Praetorian Guard.

The little emperor was still in his place, but he was so cowardly that he didn't even dare to raise his head.

Xiao Junjue's gaze swept over this group of ministers one by one, after nine years of absence from Changge City, most of the people in the court were not familiar with him. It can be seen that after the two dynasties of Xiao Jinyu and Xiao Yuheng, the court also experienced two major purges.

The group of loyal ministers and good generals during the time of Emperor Xiaojing, the death of the dead, and the resignation of the officials, in these two purges, finally withdrew from the court with their own situations.

"I don't know what the prince plans to do with the courtier Xiao Yuheng?" His Royal Highness the King of Qi, who was once worshiped by everyone, became the courtier Xiao Yuheng in a blink of an eye, ironically, it was still that group of people.

The questioner was Zuo Xiangyun Qingshan, Xiao Junjue knew him, when Emperor Xiaojing, he was the secretary of the ministry, and he was a supporter of Xiao Jinyu's succession. After Xiao Jinyu was proclaimed emperor, he was promoted to serve as the left minister.

This person is very good at the left and right, so after Xiao Jinyu's "death", he quickly got in touch with Xiao Yuheng, and also retained his position on the left.

At this time, he saw the fall of the king, and wanted to stammer Xiao Junjue.

Xiao Junjue glanced at him coldly, "How this king dealt with him, do I still need to explain it to you?" His voice was cold, like a layer of ice slag on the plum blossoms in the wax moon.

Yun Qingshan was frightened, and hurriedly said: "The lower officials have many mouths, the lower officials have many mouths, and the prince forgives the sins." ”

Guo Lingchen glanced at him contemptuously and snorted coldly. What a servile look!

He raised his face and said, "How to deal with it should be decided by the emperor, and when to ask others." ”

Guo Lingchen was the concubine of the little emperor, and when the king of Qi was there, he was very polite to him, so he was complacent. Because of the name of the emperor, he often does not take the ministers of the court and the central government in his eyes. He also prides himself on being high and does not want to be in the same stream as those people.

Even if the world has been controlled by the King of Chu now, because the emperor is still there, he doesn't take Xiao Junjue seriously.

"Your Majesty, what do you say, what should I do?" his provocative eyes drifted towards Xiao Junjue, and then turned back.

The little emperor is actually quite pitiful, since he became this emperor, he is just an ornament, in the past, the king of Qi was in charge of everything, he just had to play. And the king of Qi only cares about his own power and treats him as a tool, in general, he has never experienced the love of father and son in him.

Although the fate of father and son is shallow, he also understands that only with the King of Qi is he there, if the King of Qi is finished, if the emperor is not small, the most important thing is that he may not even be able to save his life.

He secretly looked at his grandfather, who told him a lot of things last night, telling him to obey the king of Chu in everything, so as to save his life.

Li Zhanpei nodded at him, quickly lowered his head again, and wiped away his tears with his sleeves.

He pitied this child in his heart, the child was innocent, and the competition of adults allowed this child to participate in it. It's all a sin done by adults.

Although Li Zhanpei is the father-in-law of King Qi, he is not a wrongdoer, so until now, Xiao Junjue has not done anything to him.

The little emperor saw his grandfather's instructions and said in a low voice: "Everything is subject to the disposal of the imperial uncle of the king of Chu." ”

Guo Lingchen was furious and shouted: "Your Majesty!"

Realizing that his tone was heavy, he lowered his voice and said, "You are the emperor, and you have to decide everything in the world, and you can't let others overstep your bounds." ”

The little emperor was really frightened, jumped up from the dragon chair, got under the table, and cried: "Don't ask me, don't ask anything, I'm not the emperor, I'm not the emperor." ”

The two eunuchs wanted to pull him out, but he hid left and right, and the three of them got under the table and pulled, the eunuch was afraid of hurting him, and he didn't dare to attack too hard, and he resisted desperately because he was afraid.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the table, and they saw that the table was shaking, but after a few swaying, it turned over.

The little emperor broke free from the eunuch, crawled to Xiao Junjue's feet on his knees, tugged at his clothes, and cried: "Uncle Chu Wang, don't kill me, don't kill me, I will give you the throne, I will not be the emperor anymore." ”

Guo Lingchen saw him crying and howling, and when he said such words, he was even more angry, commanding the palace people, "If you don't pull the emperor up, what kind of system will this become, what kind of system will it become!"

The dignified Emperor of the Great Zhou knelt down to a prince and begged for mercy, which was simply a mess of the dynasty.

But beside the King of Chu, who dared to get close, the palace people surrounded him, but they didn't dare to reach out and pull the little emperor.

Xiao Junjue really didn't mean to embarrass a little child, and knew that he was innocent, so she helped him up and touched his head, "Your Majesty, how could a minister do such a big rebellious thing? Don't be afraid." This king sees that the emperor has not slept well, and he is still having a nightmare at this time, come here, take the emperor down and rest well. ”

The palace people breathed a sigh of relief, and the king of Chu spoke, and hurriedly led the emperor back to the palace.

Guo Lingchen was still unwilling, "King Chu, you are rebelling in the name of the Qing monarch, and now that the ministers have been removed, if you have a righteous heart, it is time to retire." ”

All the ministers have changed their faces, why is this Guo Lingchen so screwed, what is the situation now, can't he still see it? He still dares to argue with the King of Chu here, looking for death!

Compared with him, Li Zhanpei was much smarter, and interjected at the right time: "The emperor is young, and he can't have no one around to assist, the king of Chu has unparalleled conduct, has both ability and political integrity, and is loved by all the people, so he is the best candidate to assist the emperor." ”

All the ministers agreed.

Guo Lingchen was angry, "You...... You ......," he pointed one by one, "tending to the flames, flattering, what a bunch of villains!"

Yun Qingshan snorted lightly: "Taifu Guo, why are you so excited? Isn't what we said wrong? King Qi and Empress Dowager Liu have already been recruited, and they conspired to kill the first emperor, frame Zhongliang, and take the throne by skill. To put it bluntly, now the emperor's throne is not justified. He turned his face and smiled at Xiao Junjue, bowed his hand respectfully, and said: "King Chu is the eldest son of Emperor Xiaojing, and his name is justified, not to mention the auxiliary regent, according to this official, it is natural to inherit the throne." ”

He lifted his robe and knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said: "Weichen advises that His Royal Highness the King of Chu should abolish the son of the King of Qi, inherit the unification, and correct the country." ”

There are many responders to this call.

This time, Guo Lingchen was even more angry and wanted to faint, he didn't expect Yun Qingshan to climb up the pole so well.

Laughing angrily, he looked directly at Xiao Junjue and said: "The king of Chu originally crusaded on the grounds of eliminating the traitorous ministers around the emperor, and now he wants to abolish the emperor, so he is not afraid that all the people in the world will say that the king of Chu is rebelling in the name of the Qing monarch?"

Yun Qingshan glared at him fiercely. "Bold!"

Xiao Junjue waved his hand at Yun Qingshan, and Yun Qingshan retreated to the side. Xiao Junjue said: "This king is only for the Qing monarch this time, and he never wants to abolish the emperor, and the murder of the first emperor is still under investigation, so you can make a decision after the merits are clarified." ”

Yun Qingshan's sycophants were one after another, and before Xiao Junjue's words landed, he could receive them, "King Chu Yingming, it's okay like this, when the matter is clarified, just block those leisurely mouths." After speaking, he squinted at Guo Lingchen.

Guo Lingchen met his gaze and said, "Sycophant!"

Yun Qingshan didn't listen to it, and he didn't argue with him, what about sycophants, as long as he could keep his head and keep his official position, let alone sycophants, he would be a sycophant.

Xiao Junjue listened to their noisy noise all morning, and she was already impatient, "Do the ministers have anything else to do? ”

A minister stepped forward and said, "The lower official still has something to say." ”

Xiao Junjue didn't raise her eyelids, "Speak." ”

The man said: "The lower officials think that to be a courtier, there should be rules for being a courtier, and the king of Chu is a minister, even if he has merit, he can't break the rules." This palace is a place for the emperor and his concubine Empress Dowager to live, but now the King of Chu's family lives in the palace, which is really unruly. ”

"That's it, the family of the vassal king lives in the palace, what is this like, when the king of Qi was in the past, there was no such thing. "There was a lot of discussion, especially the people from the Imperial Tower.

They don't have anything else to do all day long, just all kinds of things that don't like people.

But except for a few of them, everyone else was silent, some looked at the expression of the King of Chu, some lowered their heads and had nothing to do with themselves, and some secretly prayed not to implicate themselves.

Xiao Junjue slowly raised his head and stared at the man, who had a straight spine and looked directly at Xiao Junjue with a fearless face.

"Are you?" Xiao Junjue glanced at him, not even familiar.

The man was neither arrogant nor humble, he looked quite backbone, and said: "Xiaguan Yushi Taichung Chenghe Province Province." ”

Xiao Junjue squinted his eyes, and he noticed that he glanced at Guo Lingchen as he spoke, although it was fast, but he also caught it.

It turned out that he was with Guo Lingchen, and he wanted to make it difficult for him today.

Xiao Junjue chuckled, "Lord He said that it is not suitable for this king's family to live in the palace, so dare to ask Lord He, where are you going to place this king's family?"

He Xingshen didn't know what it was, the king of Chu smiled, he had no confidence, and there was a trace of fear in his heart for no reason.

After thinking about it, he said: "There is still an old mansion in the capital of the King of Chu, and the former King of Chu's mansion is still there. ”

"Oh, does Lord He want the princess and the newborn child who have just given birth to this king to live in an old mansion that has been empty for many years, no one to clean and repair, and no one to serve them?" Xiao Junjue said word by word: "The old house has been vacant for many years, it must be dark and damp, and covered with dust, Lord He let this king's wife and daughter live there-" After a pause, Xiao Junjue's eyes gradually sharpened, "What is Lord He's intention?"

He Xing was intimidated by the majesty, and immediately knelt down, "The lower official didn't mean this, it's just because the foreign minister lives in the palace, which is really against the ancestral family law, so ...... So ......"

Xiao Junjue stared at him, "So you want to drive this king out of the palace, it's best to rush back to Yizhou!"

"The lower officials don't dare, the lower officials don't dare!" He Xingshen regretted as much as he wanted at this time, how much he regretted it, how could he listen to Guo Taifu's words and make trouble to the king of Chu. Confused, confused.
