Chapter 408: The Imperial Meeting
"Who could have sent someone to assassinate Meng Yushi?" Xu Jing touched his chin with interest: "The prince of Xihe is impulsive and irritable, and he is the most suspicious. It could also be the prince of Pengcheng or the prince of Hanyang."
Zhao Xiyan was silent for a moment, and said unexpectedly, "I think it's not them, maybe it's Murong Shen's people."
Xu Jing's eyes flashed, and he looked at Zhao Xiyan: "Murong Shen is already a lost dog, and there are few soldiers who escaped with him. With so many people searching for his whereabouts, he still dares to send his own soldiers out to assassinate Meng Yushi?"
Zhao Xiyan said lightly: "He was defeated and hid in the shadows. It should have heard the news that you were about to ascend the throne, and he was so angry and impulsive that he sent someone to assassinate Meng Yushi. If we hadn't taken precautions, Meng Yushi's family would have suffered an accident."
"If you go and torture the living mouth, he will definitely confess that he is the son of the king of Xihe."
Xu Jing reacted quickly and sneered: "This trick is a clever trick to kill people and fish in troubled waters."
Zhao Xiyan said in a low voice, "The Great Dynasty Meeting is about to begin. You go to court with your father as usual. This live mouth will be handed over to Xu Erwu for interrogation."
"Let someone pass on a word to Meng Yushi again, don't publicize the assassination. Whoever is secretly making trouble has to be suppressed."
"The most important thing now is to suppress the prince of Xihe and others, and successfully ascend the throne and sit on the dragon chair."
Some accounts are not too late to be calculated slowly.
Xu Jing nodded in response.
On the way to the court, Xu Jing whispered this to the king of Beihai. Since the King of the North Sea lost weight, his body has become much stronger, and he whispered as he walked, "Don't publicize this matter. Today is the same as usual."
Xu Jing laughed in a low voice, "Sister Yue'er said the same thing."
The King of the North Sea glanced at his son and laughed, "The crescent moon is smart and calm, and she is extremely far-sighted in judging the situation, and she is even better than you. If something happens, you should listen to her more."
Then I still need to tell you!
Of course he listened to Sister Moon'er.
The father and son entered the Jinluan Hall with a calm expression. Everywhere they went, all the ministers bowed respectfully. Even the two squires who supported the prince of Xihe were very respectful to Xu Jing.
The prince of Xihe stared at Xu Jing tightly, and when Xu Jing approached, he suddenly asked in a low voice, "In the early hours of this morning, someone escorted a man in black with a broken leg into the Beihai Palace. What's going on?"
The prince of Xihe has been sending people to stare at the Beihai Palace, and at this time, he is opening his mouth to ask openly, without the slightest embarrassment.
Xu Jing teased his eyelids: "A little thief, insignificant."
The prince of Xihe furrowed his brows unhappily: "A little thief is also worthy of being sent to the Beihai Palace? It can't be some kind of assassin!"
It seems that these assassins really have nothing to do with the prince of Xihe. Otherwise, the prince of the king of Xihe would not be able to ask so confidently and without a heart.
Xu Jing's heart flashed, and he sighed casually, his face perfunctory.
The prince of Xihe has been particularly impetuous, and when he saw Xu Jing's virtue, he was so angry that his brain twitched.
The prince of Pengcheng whispered to the prince of Hanyang, "There have been three days of great court meetings in a row, and today is the fourth day. I don't know if there will be a result today."
Xinjun has not decided for a day, and the two of them are also restless, and they are very distressed.
Don't fight, I'm unwilling. Fight and fight. It's better to settle it earlier, and they will admit it.
At this moment, Empress Su entered the Jinluan Palace. The prince of Xihe had to press down and bow his hand with everyone.
Empress Su sat in the Jinluan Hall for three days in a row, and today is the fourth day.
"The matter of supporting the new emperor should not be delayed any longer." Queen Su, who has never expressed her position, has a decisive momentum today: "The result must be discussed today."
The ministers perked up and opened their mouths again.
The name of the prince of the North Sea appears very frequently. Even more than on the first day.
The prince of Xihe was so angry that his nose was about to crooked.
In the past three days, he and his father went to visit the important ministers in private, gave a bunch of generous gifts, and promised many benefits. I didn't see a few of them, but I originally supported him
The courtiers swayed from side to side, and today they actually supported Xu Jing.
The Duke of Dingguo, who had never spoken, finally opened his mouth: "The old minister supports the prince of Beihai to inherit the throne."
"The minister has seen the heroic posture of the prince of Beihai leading his troops to kill the enemy, and now the court of the Great Jin Dynasty is unstable, and the people are full of bandits. The minister thinks that what the Great Jin needs is a young, promising, wise and martial new emperor."
The three major generals of the Great Jin Dynasty, Murong Yao's father and son are traitors, and the loyal and brave marquis is in Qinghe County, but they have connected a few twists and turns to support Xu Jing. Ding Guogong's statement, no one can compete with Xu Jing.
The prince of Pengcheng and the prince of Hanyang each sighed secretly.
The prince of Xihe was pale and unwilling.
Empress Su's gaze swept over the faces of the princes of the vassal kings, and finally landed on Xu Jing's face: "Xu Jing, the ministers support you as the new emperor, and the palace also belongs to you."
"From today onwards, you are the new emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty. This palace hopes that you will be a wise man who sympathizes with his courtiers and cherishes the people, and does not live up to your dead cousin and the people of the world."
All the courtiers knelt down and shouted in unison, "Please succeed the prince of the king of Beihai."
The prince of the king of Xihe stubbornly refused to kneel, and the king of the west river was in a hurry and kicked him in the bend of the leg. The prince of Xihe felt a pain in his right leg, and he couldn't help but kneel down.
This kneeling means that he has completely failed in his struggle for the throne.
The eyes of the prince of Xihe were hot, and tears came down.
It's a pity that no one cares about a loser. The prince of Xihe had tears on his face, and no one took a second look.
The prince of Pengcheng, the prince of Hanyang, who was also kneeling, was much more honest, and shouted with all the courtiers: "Please ask the prince of Beihai to inherit the throne."
Xu Jing has thought about such a scene countless times. When this moment really comes, the heart beats fast and the blood boils.
He took a deep breath, first bowed to Queen Su, and then saluted the ministers: "Everyone, please get up, I, Xu Jing, swear to the sky that I will be a virtuous son, diligent in government and love the people, and make the foundation of the Great Jin Dynasty last forever."
Empress Su's eyes were red, and her eyes were blurred with tears, as if she saw the back of another thin young man standing side by side with Xu Jing.
Jun'er, did you see that?
Xu Jing is supported by the ministers, and he is already the son of the Great Jin Dynasty.
You should also be at ease under the Nine Springs, go to reincarnation as soon as possible! Don't be a prince in the next life, have a healthy body, marry a wife and have children, and live happily for the rest of your life!
Empress Su turned her head to the side, wiped her tears with her sleeve, turned her head again, stopped her tears, and regained her composure: "The inheritance of the throne by the prince of Beihai is a great joy of the country.
"The Ministry of Rites immediately prepares for the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor."
"Order the assassins of the thirteen states and all the garrison generals to enter Beijing to participate in the ceremony."
