The courtiers were quiet for a long time, and finally Wang Yang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, gritted his teeth and stood up and said:

"Queen Mother, King Yun is a clan that has been in the domain, and my dynasty has never had a precedent of not letting the prince succeed to the throne but letting the vassal king of the clan who has already taken the vassal succeed to the throne, so the minister thinks that King Yun should be excluded from the selection of the throne."

The meaning of his words is already obvious, the ancestor does not have this convention, and he can't be allowed to go, which is not in line with the ancestral system!

The courtiers nodded slightly, which was also a reason to say in the past.

However, it was impossible for Empress Zhang to let him fool him so much, and immediately said:

Is there something wrong with Wang Shangshu's words?

If it is really according to the ancestral system, the prince of my dynasty will be crowned the king and the vassal on the day he becomes an adult, but the fourth and fifth have repeatedly shirked and are unwilling to take the vassal, His Majesty pities him and the two love the family, so the two of them have been delayed again and again, but if you really want to say that the vassal is the first to be the first to take the vassal.

Now that Wang Shangshu has said that King Yun has said that it is not in line with the ancestral system, what about the four princes and the fifth prince, who are the first to violate the ancestral system?

Should they be held accountable first?

If it is really according to the ancestral system of Taizu, if it is not necessary for the prince to become an adult, it is not impossible to force those who stay in Bianjing, but they should also abolish the clan status and stay in Beijing as a concubine.

Since Wang Shangshu talked about the ancestral system, then we might as well follow the ancestral system first, and first demote the four princes to the common people, and then we will discuss which prince should inherit the throne? ”

You Wang Yang can speak with the ancestral system, and my surname Zhang can also speak with the ancestral system.

You said that there is no precedent for those who have already established themselves to inherit the throne, so let's abolish the fourth child first, and then see which prince can inherit the throne.

No matter what, there is a first-come-first-come, the ancestral system that the fourth child violated first, of course we have to deal with him first, right?

As soon as Empress Zhang's words came out, everyone was dumbfounded, and Wang Yang opened his mouth slightly, but he didn't know how to refute it.

Is this agreement or disagreement?

Do you want to follow the ancestral system?

If it is not according to the ancestral system, it has always been ranked according to ability.

According to his ability, the Yun King, who had hundreds of thousands of mercenaries and relieved the siege of Bianjing, was undoubtedly the best among the princes.

If according to the ancestral system, now that the five princes have cooled down, and the four princes are abolished again, won't the princes of His Majesty only have the sixth prince Yunwang Zhao Jun left?

In the end, what difference does it make if it's him?

Can...... They really don't want this sixth child to be the emperor!

It is completely foreseeable that once this sixth child becomes the emperor, they will definitely not have a good life!

But how to refute it?

Just when the courtiers' brains were spinning wildly and they wanted to find a way to solve it, suddenly a Han general came into the palace to report!

"Report! King Yun sent a message that there were many traitors in the palace when His Majesty died, and in order to prevent there were traitors in the palace and threaten the safety of the people in the palace, he transferred 5,000 elites into the imperial city to guard!

Today, the guards of the main roads in the palace have all been replaced. ”

"What?!"

When the officials in the court heard this, they were in an uproar!

Why are you afraid of adulterers, and you still have to be shameless?

This is clearly a threat, a naked threat, what do you mean by letting your soldiers take over the palace at this time?

What do you want to do?

This is simply Sima Zhao's heart, everyone knows!

How can you do that? You're a vassal king, and you're going to do such a shameless act as a threat!

Wang Yang only felt that he was in a cold sweat, he originally thought that he could give the throne to the fourth prince by virtue of his righteousness, and then force King Yun back to Yunzhou County, and then deal with it slowly in the future.

But I didn't expect King Yun to do things according to the rules and send troops directly!

This is clearly relying on the soldiers in his hands to show off his might!

He didn't even dare to think that if he didn't let this guy get what he wanted today, would this guy rush in with someone and put a knife on their necks to make them choose again!

When you think about it, it's not impossible!

I've heard of the shameless name of the Cloud King for a long time!

Just when the ministers were panicking, a clear footstep suddenly sounded outside the hall.

The sound of a footstep was strange enough for everyone in the hall to hear clearly!

It was as if the person outside the hall was deliberately making people hear, but obviously the footsteps were not so heavy!

Everyone's eyes quickly converged.

Even Empress Zhang looked at it curiously.

The next moment, Zhao Jun, who was wearing an armored white cloak and carrying a long sword at his waist, walked in from outside the hall step by step with the sound of clanging armor colliding!

The iron boots on the soles of their feet made a crisp clattering sound, making everyone's eyelids jump!

"How dare he! How dare he! He actually dared to wear armor and go to the temple with a weapon! How dare he? How dare you! ”

Wang Yang looked at this scene incredulously, his mind was a mess, and he became at a loss and didn't know what to do.

However, it was nothing for Zhao Jun to wear armor and go to the temple with a weapon.

Just two steps after Zhao Jun came in, two rows of axemen armed with long-handled axes rushed in, and quickly came to the Han generals who were standing on both sides of the hall.

The commander of the Han general on duty today was also a wonderful person, and as soon as he saw this situation, he immediately gave an order, and ran out of the hall with his people, leaving their original position to the two rows of axemen who came in later.

But I saw Zhao Jun clapping his hands, and the two rows of axe hands stood in place of the Han generals who were originally standing.

The long-handled axe in his hand leaned forward slightly, and it was above the heads of the courtiers!

The hundred officials in the hall suddenly broke out in a cold sweat!

It wasn't until they did this that Zhao Jun was as surprised as if he suddenly saw everyone in the hall: "Oh, there are actually people in the hall?" ”

He looked at the hundred officials who were trembling with a look of surprise, and then looked up and suddenly said in surprise: "Queen Mother, why are you here?" ”

Immediately, he retracted his gaze, and suddenly there was a sudden realization!

"Ah, this king knows, you must be in the court!

Sorry, sorry! For the sake of the safety of the palace, this king did not notice that you were in the court, what a sin! ”

Zhao Jun shook his head, looking guilty, but then Zhao Jun arched his hand to Empress Zhang and said:

"Queen mother, it was the son-in-law who was abrupt and disturbed the order of the court, please punish the queen mother!"

Empress Zhang smiled secretly in her heart, but she quietly sang a double reed with Zhao Jun on her face.

I saw that Queen Zhang waved her hand and said: "It's okay, you are also thinking about the safety of the palace, and you don't know that this place is going to the court, and those who don't know are not guilty." ”

"The son thanked the queen mother!"

Zhao Jun looked relieved and hurriedly bowed his hand to thank him.

At this time, Empress Zhang asked again: "King Yun, it just so happens that you are here, and the palace wants to ask the guards just now that you said that there are probably traitors in the palace?"

Is this true or false? ”

When Zhao Jun heard this, he immediately nodded heavily and said: "What the queen mother said is right, the reason why my father died in the first place, and the reason why Bianjing City was broken so quickly, is because there are traitors in the palace, and there are Xiongnu in the city!"

This led to chaos in the palace and the city gate was broken, which gave the thieves a chance.

Although the Xiongnu are gone, the traitor who gave them the internal response may still be in Bianjing or even the palace.

Erchen has been searching everywhere for the past few days, and has arrested more than 100 traitors who have colluded with the Huns, and today I want to come to the palace to clean it up, so that the queen mother can live safer. ”

"In this way, there is King Laoyun.

However, what are you going to do with these traitors? ”

Empress Zhang asked again.

At this time, Zhao Jun suddenly grinned, his eyes swept over the faces of the hundred officials one by one, and then he said slowly:

"For such a person who has forgotten his ancestors, Erchen invited the executioner with the longest inheritance in Bianjing and gave them a thousand cuts!

Only in this way can we barely make up for the damage suffered by the people of Bianjing because of them! ”

The hundreds of officials in the hall trembled, and no one dared to look at Zhao Jun's murderous eyes at the moment, avoiding the gaze one by one, striving to be invisible.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Jun smiled slightly, and immediately turned his head to Queen Zhang and said:

"Queen Mother, now that the deployment here has been completed, there are still potential safety hazards in other places in the palace, so the sons will not bother the queen mother and other ministers to go to court, and the sons will take the first step!"

Empress Zhang nodded with satisfaction: "King Yun, go, I will definitely clean up the traitors in the palace!" ”

"Don't worry, the queen mother!"

……

Zhao Jun left, but the officials in the hall did not come back to their senses for a long time.

The blade of the long-handled axe stretched diagonally above their heads seemed to remind them that their lives were not in their hands now.

At this time, Empress Zhang's voice sounded again:

"Wang Shangshu, do you think we should deal with the four princes according to the ancestral system now, or should we discuss which prince to enthrone first?

However, this palace thinks that King Yun is the top among the princes in terms of ability and conduct, if King Yun is allowed to ascend the throne, it will definitely allow my Great Song Dynasty to usher in a prosperous era again, I don't know what Wang Shangshu thinks? ”

Wang Yang raised his head slightly, and saw that the axe hanging above his head was slowly falling, and when he turned his head again, the axe hand holding a long-handled axe next to him was grinning at him.

(屮')

A chill rushed from the tail vertebrae to the Tianling cover in an instant!

Cold sweat oozed from his forehead, and he hurriedly bent down with fists in his fists.

"Gift...... The queen mother, the minister...... The minister thinks...... Extremely...... Very good! ”

After saying this, Wang Yang felt as if he had lost all his strength all of a sudden, and breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

When I looked up again, I saw that the axe that had just been hung was gone.

Turning his head, the axe-man had already put his long-handled axe upright, and stood there with a blank face.

It's like he's been like this all along.

(屮'-)

The speed with which he changed his face suddenly made Wang Yang's hateful teeth itch!

At the same time, as he gave an answer, all the officials in the palace breathed a sigh of relief.

Then there was a chorus of echo.

"Wang Shangshu is right, King Yun is indeed very good!"

"The old minister also agrees to let King Yun succeed to the throne!"

"Indeed, King Yun is the top among the princes in terms of conduct and ability, except for King Yun, no one else is qualified to inherit the throne!"

"The old minister agrees!"

This is from Wenchen's side.

The painting style on the general's side is relatively unified, all of them are ......

"I'm the same!"
