"Don't you dare?" Emperor Wu of Zhou said with a smile, "I see that you are quite daring." ”

The ministers said with sincere fear: "The ministers deserve to die for their crimes, and I ask the emperor to forgive them." ”

"Then do you say that I should add beads to the acting king, or should I not add beads to the acting king." Emperor Wu of Zhou asked the ministers in a tone of inquiry, "You have to give me an idea." ”

The minister kneeling below was frightened: "The minister doesn't dare." ”

"I don't want to hear that." Emperor Wu of Zhou sat on the railing, clasped his hands on his chest, and looked at the ministers kneeling below with a smile, "Tell me, should I add beads to the acting king?" ”

Although Emperor Wu of Zhou looked smiling, the ministers were so frightened that their faces changed. They fell to their knees and did not dare to say a word.

"Why don't you speak?" Emperor Wu of Zhou said with some disgust, "Didn't you guys say it just now?" ”

The ministers who said this were even more frightened. There were some timid ministers, whose bodies were trembling slightly.

The crown prince knelt on the ground, straightened up and said, "Father, in terms of merit, the acting king should add beads." ”

As soon as his words fell, then Zhen Guogong said: "Your Majesty, what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is very true. ”

Marquis Xuanping cursed the prince and the prince of Zhenguo in his heart, and as soon as he was about to speak, he heard the prince continue: "Father, the son wants to go to the capital to greet the triumphant ...... of the king in person."

Before the words fell, Marquis Xuanping hurriedly interrupted the prince's words: "No." Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Acting King is a courtier, how can he let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally go out of the city to greet him? ”

"Xuanping Hou, the acting king is Gu's younger brother, he pacified the Liangzhou rebellion this time, and he worked hard. It is reasonable that Lonely, the elder brother, should personally go out of the city to welcome him back. The prince said, turned around and saluted Emperor Wu of Zhou again, "Please fulfill your father!" ”

Xuanping Hou was in a hurry, he hurriedly saluted and said: "Your Majesty, don't ...... it"

Zhenguo Gong interrupted Xuanping Hou's words, "Your Majesty, let the crown prince replace the imperial court and go out of the city to welcome the triumph of the acting king, so that His Royal Highness the acting king can feel that the imperial court attaches importance to him, and also let the people see that the imperial court values the acting king." ”

"Your Majesty, it is his duty to pacify the rebellion in Liangzhou on behalf of His Royal Highness, and he ......"

Zhenguo Gong interrupted Xuanping Hou again, "Xuanping Hou, although it is the duty of the acting king as a courtier and son to quell the rebellion in Liangzhou, but this time the acting king has made such a great contribution, it is not enough to reward him with some gold, silver and jewelry. Besides, didn't you also say that the king should be crowned? ”

With a snap, Xuanping Hou raised his hand and slapped himself twice, "Your Majesty, the minister just said the wrong thing, and the crime deserves death!" "It was he who was careless and fell for Xie Xiuchuan.

Since the news of Liangzhou's victory returned to Beijing, Xuanping Hou has been busy with the matter of acting Wang Jiazhu. In order to be crowned before the acting king returned to Beijing, Xuanping Marquis not only sent people around the capital to publicize the great military exploits made by the acting king, but also united the ministers to put pressure on Emperor Wu of Zhou, so that Emperor Wu of Zhou agreed to add beads to the acting king as soon as possible. Not only that, Marquis Xuanping also sent people to slander the prince everywhere, so that the people knew that His Royal Highness the prince had not made war exploits for the Great Zhou Dynasty.

During this period of time, the people in the capital would praise and thank the acting king when they mentioned it. When it comes to the crown prince, the people feel that the prince is inactive and not as good as the acting king. In addition, there are more and more ministers in the court who support the king, especially the military generals.

There were many generals who followed Emperor Wu of Zhou to quell the rebellion everywhere, in addition to Song Dekang and Chu Ying, there were other soldiers. Although they had also made a lot of military exploits at the beginning, they were not as good as Song Dekang and them, and naturally they were not as useful as Chu Ying and them.

They were rewarded, and their status became much more noble, but they knew in their hearts that it was only temporary. As the saying goes, once a son of heaven is a courtier. When Emperor Wu of Zhou is gone, their noble identity and life may not be preserved.

In order to enjoy a prosperous and wealthy life for a long time, and for the sake of their children's future future, these generals want to advance the team. Only by supporting the king in advance, and when the king ascends the throne in the future, can the glory of their family continue.

As for why the team supports the king in advance, this answer is very simple. The acting king is also a military general, and like them, he quelled the chaos for the Great Zhou Dynasty. Moreover, the acting king is very similar to Emperor Wu of Zhou when he was young. The most important point is that the crown prince has the support of Wenchen, and their generals are most disgusted with those Wenchen who can only speak big truths.

Not all of these generals supported the king, and many of them had a wait-and-see attitude, after all, Emperor Wu of Zhou was in his prime. If they supported the acting king in advance, they were worried that they would anger Emperor Wu of Zhou, so they did not express their support for the acting king for a long time. But now it is different, the defeat of the rebellious army in Liangzhou by the acting king has shown them the outstanding ability of the acting king. In addition, the victory of the acting king this time became more and more famous in the court and among the people, which made them no longer hesitate and began to clearly express their support for the acting king.

These days, the acting king has become more and more authoritative in the court and among the people, and the limelight has forced His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Whether in the court or among the people, there are more and more people who support the acting king to become the prince. The most important thing is that during this period of time, the Zhenguo Gong and the crown prince had no power to fight back, and the rumors that the acting king was the most suitable to be the prince spread more and more, which made the people of Xuanping Hou and his party more and more proud, thinking that they had no way to do it.

Xuanping Hou guessed that Zhenguo Gong and the crown prince would not watch the acting king Jiazhu and guess that they would have the means to fight back, and he had been secretly guarding against them in his heart, but until the beginning of the dynasty this morning, Zhenguo Gong and the crown prince did nothing, which made him relax his vigilance against them.

Compared with the methods of the Duke of Zhenguo and the crown prince, the Marquis of Xuanping cared more about the attitude of Emperor Wu of Zhou. The acting king returned to Beijing this afternoon, but Emperor Wu of Zhou did not agree to add beads to the acting king, which made Xuanping Hou a little anxious, so he said that the acting king should add beads.

Xuanping Hou originally thought that what he said would not be anything, but he didn't expect that the Duke of Zhenguo and the crown prince would agree with his words. He didn't react at first, but when he heard the Duke of Zhenguo and the crown prince praise that there would be no stable Great Zhou Jiangshan without the acting king, he suddenly understood that this was the conspiracy of the prince and the prince.

During this time, the prince of Zhenguo and the crown prince did nothing, and they were waiting here. This move was too ruthless, and the people who killed Xuanping Hou and his party were caught off guard.

The crown prince must not be allowed to go out of the city to greet the acting king in person, otherwise the acting king's reputation will be ruined.

He Xiang and Taishi Liu knelt on the ground, completely staying out of the matter, as if all this that happened had nothing to do with them. However, they were still a little surprised.

They had long guessed that Zhen Guogong would not sit still, and they expected that Zhen Guogong would not let Xuanping Hou and them suppress the prince, but half an hour ago, Zhen Guogong and the prince still didn't do anything, they were still wondering what happened to Zhen Guogong, but they didn't expect that it didn't take long for Zhen Guogong to make a move.

Zhen Guogong's support for the acting king and the addition of the pearl immediately made the people of Xuanping Hou and his party afraid, and opposed the acting king to add pearl, this reversal is really powerful. He Xiang didn't expect it either. They guessed that the Zhenguo Guild would fight back, but they didn't expect it to be this one.

He Xiang and Liu Taishi sighed in their hearts, Zhen Guogong wanted to roast the acting king on the fire.

On behalf of Wang Jiazhu, Xuanping Hou and his party were defeated.

"What do you think?" Emperor Wu of Zhou looked at He Xiang, who was watching the play calmly, "Do you think I should add beads to the acting king?" ”

When He Xiang heard Emperor Wu of Zhou call him, he sighed helplessly in his heart.

The emperor is letting him be a bad guy.
