As soon as the bead curtain dispersed, the cold light was shiè, like the bottomless eyes of the queen mother. The Queen Mother stared at Shu Wu coldly, and said word by word: "Scholar Shu, it is a great crime to bully the king by talking about your will!"

Shu Wu's face changed slightly, and after being silent for a while, he bowed respectfully and responded: "I celebrate today without a king, how can I bully the king?" Facing the queen mother, this scholar did not give an inch!

The Queen Mother stretched out her old hand, slowly pulled out the bead curtain, walked out from behind the curtain, and stood beside the dragon chair, and the prince quickly supported the old man.

"His Majesty is in Dadong Mountain Bintian, it is the Supervision Yuan Ti Si Fan Xian who colluded with Dongyi City to assassinate, and it happened suddenly, how can there be any edict?" The Queen Mother stared at Shu Wu's eyes, and said calmly: "If there is an edict, where is it now?"

Shu Wu's heart was slightly cold, knowing that the Queen Mother's words were going to push herself to the side that was implicated with Fan Xian, and replied with a sigh: "The edict is now in the hands of the Duke of Xuanbo." ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the court, at the beginning of the enthronement ceremony of the crown prince, Fan Xian's crime had been pointed out, and Fan Xian was directly beaten into the endless abyss...... It was actually in the hands of Lord Xiao Fan.

The Queen Mother coughed twice, looked at Shu Wu, and said, "Is it? Fan Xian is a criminal who has committed a heinous crime, and the imperial court secretly arrested him for several years, but I don't know that he returned to Kyoto, but Shu Daxue is clearly ruthless." Why did the scholar know about the edict?"

Shu Wu bowed to the ground and said bitterly: "Your Majesty was assassinated in Dadong Mountain, and the whole world is sad, but it is only half a month, and the military state and county are indeed true, and it is the work of the Tangbo Public. The old minister knew that he was a human being, and he would never dare to commit such a heinous act. As for the edict, it is indeed true, and the old minister has seen it with his own eyes. ”

The prince's hands were a little cold, and his heart was even colder, he never thought that before the incident in Dadongshan broke out, his father would leave an edict! What was written on the edict, it was clear without thinking about it, the prince suddenly felt a trace of sadness, it seemed that his father really hated himself.

He was silent beside the Queen Mother, a wry smile in his heart, knowing that his grandmother's jīng god was extremely tired, otherwise he would never have made such a mistaken response. As a revered empress dowager, why should she be entangled with an old minister over these details?

"Fan Xian colluded with Sigu Sword to do this great evil. ”

The prince looked at the ministers below him and said slowly: "Then Fan Xianping Suri is accustomed to smearing grease and whitewashing, deceiving the world and stealing his name. Shu University scholar Mo has to be deceived by such jiān people, if the father really has an edict, this palace, as a son, of course, thinks about it, and hopes to see his father's handwriting again......"

The words were extreme, and the prince was already slightly sad, and the ministers below spoke comfortingly, and he took the opportunity to stabilize his feelings.

The meaning of this sentence is very clear, such a thing as a testament can be forged, how can you, Shu Wu, as a subordinate of the sect, secretly have a private relationship with Fan Xian, a criminal who is a prisoner? .

The prince looked at Shu Wu, frowned and said: "This palace has always deeply respected the old bachelor as a person, but what I have heard and seen today is really disappointing to this palace, and I actually secretly shielded the imperial court, thinking about how important my father was to the old bachelor back then, and now the bachelor is so confused and vicious, I don't know what kind of face I have to go to see my father in the future!"

The prince's eyes gradually became cold, and a strong aura that rarely appeared on him began to infect all the courtiers in the palace with the words in his mouth.

"Shu Wu, a scholar, colluded with the imperial court, pretending to be the will of the emperor, and came to someone...... Cast him out of the temple, and put him in prison for later trial, in memory of his old age!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was in an uproar, and the ministers of Qingguo knew that there had never been any gentleness at all when it came to the struggle for imperial power, especially when the scholar Shu University moved out of the so-called edict unusually strongly, and the prince would inevitably choose the most iron-blooded means to suppress it.

It's just that everyone is not used to it for a while, and the gentle prince will show his relationship with the newly deceased majesty in an instant...... Such a similar domineering!

At this moment, everyone's hearts were like a wooden fish being lightly hit by a wooden gas, and there was a gurgling sound.

Because of Shu Wu's sad shout, the process of the crown prince's ascension to the throne was forcibly interrupted, and all the ministers had already stood up on the ground, and the black or white sè plain clothes on their bodies were weak and fluttering, and everyone was stunned, their mouths were speechless, and the ripples on their sleeves were light.

In the empty Taiji Palace, all the ministers were silent, watching the eunuchs holding the arms of Shu Daxue, and at the same time, they glimpsed that outside the Taiji Palace, there were many people walking in the shadows - it should be the guards in the palace, those guards with short straight knives - all the ministers knew that if they didn't do it well today, they were afraid that it would end up in a blood-spattered hall!

............ Shu Wu smiled bitterly, did not do the slightest struggle, let the eunuch beside him tie his arm, what he should have done has been done, if at this time, the ministers in the palace, intimidated by the power of the queen mother, the position of the prince, and the power of the eldest princess, are still silent, then even if they take out the edict?

The Queen Mother said that the edict was fake, who would dare to say that the edict was true?

He shook his head, glanced at the Queen Mother with some old eyes, and quietly glanced at the Queen Mother, sighing in his heart, why did Fan Xian insist on refusing to contact the ministers with the edict? If he had been in contact with the ministers in the palace last night, and had the protection of His Majesty's edict, these ministers would always be bolder, why would they fall into loneliness like today.

The edict written by Emperor Qing himself, of course, was not thrown into the brass basin by the Queen Mother and burned, but only a blank piece of paper in the envelope, and only the last remaining expectations of the Empress Dowager by Scholar Shu were burned.

The eunuchs helped Shu Wu to the outside of the hall half-hugged and half-detained, and the murderous guards outside the hall were waiting.

The crown prince breathed a sigh of relief, these stubborn ministers were still intimidated by the might of the royal family after all, and they didn't dare to be too presumptuous. The Queen Mother's heart also felt a little calmer, and she hoped to quickly drag Shu Wu, an old man who didn't know the times, down and let the ceremony of the crown prince's enthronement end.

Shu Wu was dragged away by the wolf, while being dragged away, the old man thought in his heart, his reputation is here, and he may not die immediately, but when the prince really sits on the dragon chair, will he be greeted with a glass of poisonous wine or a white silk?

At this moment, many people heard a faint sigh.

The sigh came from Narì, the first of the civil official ranks, the chief scholar of the Zhongshu under the sect, the initiator of the Qingguo Xinwen Movement, and a highly regarded ...... in the DPRK Scholar Hu.

Scholar Hu looked at Shu Wu, shook his head with a wry smile, and then came out of the ranks, knelt down, kowtowed, raised his head, and opened his mouth.

"I ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to retract his will. ”

The ministers were in an uproar.

The queen sè changed slightly, and the hand hidden in the sleeve trembled slightly, she didn't expect that Scholar Hu would actually stand up at this time, even if he had a good personal relationship with Shu Wu, but when this Guozuo passed on the sacred moment, this Scholar Hu ...... Scholar Hu lowered his head, his three-inch clear beard under his chin was extremely quiet, and said: "Your Majesty has an edict, and the minister dares to ask the Queen Mother for the will, and the palace will announce His Majesty's will." ”

Without waiting for the Queen Mother and the Prince to speak, Scholar Hu lowered his head and said again: "The matter of Dongshan is full of suspicions. If the Duke of Yubo has already returned to Beijing, he should be summoned to the palace and presented the so-called edict in person. When the matter of rebellion is tried, how can the military intelligence be hastily decided? Life and death of His Majesty is a major matter in the world, and until now, no dragon body has been seen, no tiger guard has been reported, and the Supervision Yuan is in chaos......

The words of the civil official leader of Qingguo became faster and faster, and even the Queen Mother's cold refutation did not stop him from speaking.

"The minister thinks that the top priority is to know the truth about Dongshan. And the ...... who can know the truth about Dongshan There was only one person. ”

"Whether the edict is true or false must always be seen. ”

"Whether or not the Duke of Tan Bo should be cut with a thousand knives must be caught. ”

Therefore, the minister thought that the arrest of the Duke of Tangbo was the first thing, and he implored the Queen Mother to make a clear decision. ”

............ The palace was silent for a long time, and then the Queen Mother blushed and looked at Scholar Hu and said three times: "Good! good! good...... Good for you!"

Killing Hu Nai is the bandit name given to this Hu scholar by His Majesty the Emperor of Qingguo back then, rewarding his upright and clear heart, and now the situation in the palace is dangerous, this Hu scholar after a long silence, suddenly made a loud sound, it was in front of the queen mother and the prince, not giving an inch, and every word pierced the hidden feelings!

The Queen Mother's eyes slowly narrowed, and the cold light gradually faded. However, the prince's face remained as calm as usual, and his eyes swept downward.

The crown prince naturally has his own cronies in the court, although because of the methods of the eldest princess, those ministers have been swaying between the prince and the second prince all the year round, but at this moment like today, they still stand up bravely. Yan Xingshu, the secretary of the ministry, looked at the scholar Hu and said coldly: "Previously, the Empress Dowager had ordered to strip Fan Xian's title and ordered the Fan family to be copied. Fan Xian is a great crime of rebellion, and the two scholars have never forgotten to defend it, and they don't know what ulterior secrets are behind it. ”

Shu Wu was at the door at this time, looking at Scholar Hu kneeling under the dragon chair in surprise and relief.

Scholar Hu didn't look at Lord Shangshu, and said contemptuously: "The minister is the minister of Qingguo, the minister of His Majesty, the minister is the head of the middle book of the sect, and he is ordered to deal with state affairs.

At this time, the three princes in the row under the dragon chair had mixed feelings, and the second prince mocked his grandmother and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in his heart, thinking that it was about the chair, you have to take the road of fairness, no wonder you will cause so much trouble. The eldest prince was silent, secretly thinking about whether the edict said by the two scholars was true or false.

Only the youngest third prince bowed his head slightly, feeling the hard feeling coming from his calves, his heart was a little chilling, and he thought that if he stayed for a while, a large group of guards rushed in...... What should I do? Of course, I didn't let the prince's brother kill all these old ministers!

The crown prince, who was standing next to the dragon chair, looked coldly at the kneeling scholar Hu below, his mood was very complicated, thinking that his aunt's judgment was really right, in Qingguo's two arms, except for the military, Wenchen has always had his own brain. This brain was allowed to be possessed by His Majesty the Emperor, and at this time, this brain began to cause infinite trouble to the crown prince's path to the throne.

"The two scholars have come forward...... the prince thought lightly to himself in his heart, and then said indifferently: "As a courtier, but pretending to be a testament, Hu scholar, you should also reflect on yourself." ”

As soon as the words fell, another eunuch guard stepped forward and supported both sides of Scholar Hu. In an instant, an atmosphere of panic suddenly filled the Taiji Palace, and the two scholars under the sect opposed the prince's accession to the throne! Both scholars were to be imprisoned by Sona!

When was the last time such a situation occurred in the history of Qingguo? No minister could think of it, they only knew that these two scholars were the heads of civil officials, and if the crown prince could not subdue them in the open, but could only suppress them by such violent means, then many problems would arise after all.

The question of the heart of the court.

And this problem was immediately revealed when Scholar Hu was escorted to the outside of the Taiji Palace. When Scholar Hu and Scholar Shu looked at each other at the gate of the hall and smiled wordlessly, the civil officials who had been standing in the Taiji Hall for a long time actually fell to their knees in a big uproar!

A large piece of black pressing!

............ "Please think twice about the Queen Mother, please think twice about His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Half of the civil officials knelt down at this moment and shouted in unison! This is no longer just a plea for the two scholars, this is already a demonstration against the pair of ancestors and grandchildren on the dragon chair, and it is a complaint to the people of the Li family, in the court of Qingguo, not only the two scholars are not afraid of death, but also many people.

The civil officials who belonged to the eldest princess, as well as the military generals who had been silent, couldn't help but be moved when they looked at this scene. They didn't understand what these civil officials kneeling on the ground thought, what they really wanted, were they really ready to exonerate Fan Xian, did they really want to prevent the crown prince from ascending the throne? What strength did they have besides that mouth and that name?

Looking at the group of ministers under her feet, the Queen Mother felt dizzy in her head and a little unsteady. The crown prince's face finally found it difficult to remain calm and became depressed, he didn't expect that an edict that did not appear in front of everyone at all would bring such a big disaster to today's enthronement ceremony!

Is there really a person in this world who is not afraid of death? Should not, if the civil officials are all such upright ministers who are not afraid of life and death, then what else does Qingguo need to do in the Supervision Yuan?

At this moment, the prince's mind was a little trance-like, he didn't understand why there were so many people opposing him, and he didn't usually notice it at all, and these officials kneeling at the moment were basically neutral factions...... Could it be that Fan Xian did some kind of witchcraft on them?

Kill them all?

What if you don't kill?

A stagnant pain began to spread through the prince's eyebrows, and he suppressed it in his heart, Fan Xian, Fan Xian, it seems that you still underestimate your energy in Kyoto.

However, at this time, the Queen Mother, who had already sat back on the chair, lowered her voice and cursed the name of a person fiercely between her lips, which reminded the prince that this scene of the ministers kneeling down and admonishing was not something that Fan Xian could initiate at all.

Only then did the prince realize that everyone, including his aunt, seemed to have forgotten a person. The last prime minister of Qingguo, who was entangled with his aunt for more than ten years, was forced out of Kyoto by His Majesty, and lived in seclusion in Wuzhou for several years, and at that time, he was in power and the opposition and had countless protégés - Lin Ruofu!
