Chapter 815: A God-Given Opportunity
The old emperor was originally very seriously aged because of poisoning, but this time he was so angry that he had a stroke directly.
Everyone knew that this imperial physician was the emperor's confidant, so there was not the slightest doubt about his words.
"His Royal Highness King Qimo, Your Majesty's condition is very serious, and he needs to recuperate, and he must not work anymore, nor can he be stimulated by any more, otherwise if his condition worsens, his life will be in danger."
Jing Tian knew that the imperial doctor was telling the truth, but when he said this in front of everyone at this time, his mind was a little intriguing.
Listening to the words of the imperial doctor, the ministers in the Taiji Hall turned solemn one by one.
Yao Xiang knelt on the ground again, and said in an extremely earnest tone: "His Royal Highness King Mo, the minister implores you to focus on the overall situation, the emperor is now in poor health and can no longer take charge of the government, please His Royal Highness King Mo succeed to the throne as soon as possible, so as to secure the overall situation of the court!" ”
The ministers who were loyal to the emperor couldn't help but be a little moved when they heard Yao Xiang say this again, after all, with the diagnosis of the imperial doctor, they knew that it was impossible for the emperor to support the overall situation in a short period of time.
"Yes! The emperor handed over the government to His Royal Highness King Mo before. ”
"No!" Mo Qing still seriously refused, "Father is only temporarily unwell, this king must find a famous doctor for his father's elixir and cure his father's illness as soon as possible." ”
If it weren't for the fact that Mo Qing didn't know in his heart that he had no feelings for the emperor, he would have moved Jing Tian and Liang Chenxiao like this.
However, everyone knows that such a thing as succession must be asked for three times, and the posture will not be criticized afterwards.
Now, the courtiers in the main hall have nothing to hesitate about, after all, almost everyone heard the sentence "Lijiu'er" before the emperor fainted.
"What Yao Xiang said is extremely true!" Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites took the lead in bowing forward and knelt at Mo Qing's feet, "Let the emperor be able to recuperate with peace of mind, and it is also the filial piety of His Royal Highness!" ”
Several ministers echoed one after another, and their eyes were red, and if Mo Qing did not agree to succeed to the throne, it would be unfilial.
Mo Qing immediately excused himself a few more words, and finally said helplessly: "Alas, such a big thing happened today, and the court meeting will be postponed to tomorrow!" This king is really not in the mood to talk about this matter today, so please go to the council hall to rest for a while, and then return to your own house after all the traitors in the imperial city have been cleared. ”
The ministers listened to Mo Qing's words and wanted to persuade them again, but Yao Xiang knew the meaning of the song after listening to the strings, persuaded everyone a few words, and then took the ministers back to the council hall.
Just kidding, some of them are busy now, tomorrow's court meeting will officially ask for three resignations, and then there will be the enthronement ceremony, the post-sealing ceremony, and various celebrations after the new emperor succeeds to the throne...... He had to hurry up and get everyone to work.
In particular, the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor must be held as soon as possible.
God knows if there will be any change in the emperor's condition, he must knock Mo Qing's throne to death first!
The emperor has reigned for nearly 30 years, arbitrary and dictatorial, and values the power in his hands more than anything else.
Such a legitimate opportunity to succeed to the throne is really a godsend, which makes Mo Qing have a lot less obstacles to stabilizing power after succeeding to the throne.
The concubines in the palace who didn't know about it before finally learned about the situation when they changed a group of guards to surround their palace.
