For a time, the news spread all over Zhongjing.

Si Tianjian divined the hexagram, and the Beirong Xingbing was a great omen.

The Empress Dowager Jin was panicked in her heart, and urgently summoned the princes and ministers to discuss matters in the Taiji Palace.

"Beirong is robbing, killing, plundering, extorting and harassing in the northwest border of my Great Jin Dynasty, what is the best plan for Zhuqing?"

There was a lot of discussion in the court.

Just ended the war with the Southern Qi Dynasty, and the emperor died, and the court and China were in chaos.

All the courtiers are condemning and scolding Beirong, and they are falling into the well.

Li Zongxun played, "Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, there can be no successor." In order to deal with the emergency military situation, the minister asked the little prince to be appointed as the new king. ”

"Ridiculous!"

Pei Yan retorted on the spot, "The first emperor's son-in-law is still alive, how can he inherit the unification by his step-son?" ”

As soon as his voice fell, the court was silent.

When Li Sangruo suddenly raised the son of King Runan, Li Zongxun's plan was already a clear move, and Beirong's harassment only accelerated the speed, opening up the contradiction between Li Zongxun and Pei Zhen in front of people.

The hall whispered and expressed its opinions.

Li Zongxun was entangled with many henchmen, Pei Zhen was lonely, except for two or three military generals, who angrily accused Li Zongxun of ignoring the court and no one came forward to speak.

The rest, either with the mud, or silently.

Li Sangruo looked at the dispute in the court, and suddenly felt that this scene was very familiar.

When her Kuang'er ascended the throne, many people also elected Yuan Shangyi, the king of Qin, because he was the son of the first queen, and he was two years older than Kuang'er.

It was Pei Cheng who stood up and ended the controversy.

Today, three years later, Pei Zhen is on the opposite side of her.

Li Sangruo said: "Pei Qing said three years ago that King Qin is sick and weak, so he can't be a king. Why did you change your tune today? ”

used the words he used to help Yuan Kuang ascend to the throne back then, to seal his mouth.

The court suddenly fell into an embarrassing cold scene.

"King Qin has recovered from his illness." Pei Yan responded lightly, "Back then, there was the will of the first emperor, and it was not up to the ministers to decide who inherited the unification." ”

It wasn't up to him back then......

Is it up to him to decide now?

This sentence was not spoken, but his eyebrows and eyes were full of arrogance.

The atmosphere is tense.

Li Zongxun snorted and surrendered his hand to the courtiers.

"There was the will of the emperor back then, and there is it today."

The ministers looked at each other and did not come back to their senses.

Ao Zheng asked: "Where did the emperor come to the will?" ”

"The first emperor took precautions, and the sacred heart was all in the edict."

After Li Zongxun finished speaking, he suddenly took out a yellow silk from his sleeve and said loudly:

"The will of the first emperor, the ministers listen to the announcement."

There was silence in the hall.

For a moment, looking at Li Zongxun, who was holding high the holy decree, all the ministers knelt down to listen to the decree.

Only Pei Zhen stood up.

Li Zongxun glanced at him and read it out disapprerovingly.

Emperor Xifeng's edict said that the heirs were thin, and the king of Runan had a deep brotherly relationship with him, and he was the emperor of the country.

This edict came strangely, and the ministers didn't accept it, and they didn't accept it, kneeling on the spot, only looking at each other left and right with their eyes.

"Edict!"

Pei Yan said two words coldly and walked away.

-

The unhappiness in the court is like a boulder pressing on people's hearts.

Luo Yue leaned against the door of the small courtyard, holding a big belly, and waited and waited before she saw Wei Zheng walk in with a calm face.

She hurriedly took the oil umbrella from the servant girl and greeted it.

"Master, how's it going?"

Wei Zheng glanced at her, his eyes dark.

Today, Luo Yue specially dressed up, and her face was covered with a layer of powder, her little face was white and clean, and she wiped her red and glamorous lipstick, looking festive and good-looking.

Wei Zheng's temper is not very good.

"Whoever told you to come out, get out in."

Luo Yue was shocked, feeling that his attitude was unusual, and lowered his head with a pout.

"The concubine is guilty, please punish the husband."

She knows how to show softness very well, how can the aggrieved voice and the high bulging lower abdomen, the woman leaning on the door and looking at her husband, make people ruthless?

Wei Zheng stared at her, "You care so much about Pei Zheng?" ”

Luo Yue hooked her lips and glanced at him, "It turned out that it was because of this displeasure." Fool ......"

She raised her hand and gently and skillfully patted Wei Zheng's arm, looking coquettish.

"If there were no generals, no Feng Twelve Niang, there would be no Luo Yue today. I will repay my kindness...... The husband treats the concubine well, and the concubine will also make cattle and horses for the husband in the future. ”

Those eyes seemed to be able to speak, and Wei Zheng was relieved of his anger.

"Don't think I don't know, that little action you did behind my back." He waved his hand to signal the servant to stand back, and then he stared at Luo Yue with his eyes and whispered, "I warn you, don't be clever." ”

With that, he reached out and touched her erect lower abdomen.

"It doesn't matter if the horse beats the cow to death, or the ox beats the horse, we don't want to get involved in this kind of thing. In this way, no matter who wins or loses, they can sit firmly in the fisherman's seat. Otherwise, one step short of doing it would be a great sin to punish the Nine Clans......"

"This, this, is it so serious? The concubine didn't know, she almost ...... her husband" Luo Yue fell into Wei Zheng's arms, feeling that she was about to be hopeless, learning to learn, the more she learned, the more hypocritical she became, and the voice was so weak that she was disgusted when she heard it.

However, the concubine entered the camp alone at that time, if it wasn't for Feng Twelve Niang's care, how could there be such a good marriage...... She treated me like a sister, and I knew that someone was going to assassinate her husband, so I wanted to do nothing and ...... How else do concubines behave? ”

Her tears fell like money.

Wei Zheng was distressed, and hurriedly hugged the person over and wiped her tears, "Don't cry, don't cry, pregnant with your body, don't cry the child badly." ”

Phew! What a crow's beak.

Luo Yue scolded the dog man in her heart, and her face was sad and sad.

"Master, you should think of a way...... Think of a way. ”

Wei Zheng's face was angry, and he said calmly: "What can I do?" Li Zongxun wants to assassinate Pei Zhen, can I stop him with a knife on his neck? ”

Luo Yue's eyes lit up, "This move is feasible." ”

Wei Zheng gasped and glared at her viciously.

"You woman, I think you want to be a widow. Li Zongxun or Pei Zhen, which one can I afford to provoke? ”

Luo Yue carefully pulled the corner of his clothes, "Then the husband should think of a way?" ”

Wei Zheng sighed, and forced her to lose her temper.

"I have reminded you what to do, King Yonghuai should have a proposal."

"Huh?" Luo Yue was stunned.

Wei Zheng glared at him, "You think you're the only one who writes secret letters?" ”

He pinched her nose dotingly.

"You, that little trick is not enough in the eyes of the knights. If I hadn't carried it for you, your skin would have been ripped off. ”

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Luo Yue's back, wrapped her arms around Wei Zheng, and buried her head in his arms, hiding her changed demeanor due to surprise.

"The concubine has relied on her husband in this life."

-

The sky was dark and dreary, and the snow was flying.

It was obviously noon, but it was like the dusk of the night, and the earth was gray.

Pei Yan galloped through alone and on horseback, preparing to go out of the city to the garrison camp, when the horses were about to rush out of the city gate, the heavy iron gate suddenly closed.

Bang dang!

The sound of feathered arrows breaking through the air broke the silence of the long street.

"Whoosh-"

The arrow feathers that fell from the sky were densely packed.

In the cacophony, a roar pierced the sky.

"Protect King Yonghuai."

Immediately afterwards, the sound of horses' hooves started, and a group of Beiyong army guards galloped over from all directions, murderously heading straight to the city tower. Before the few archers who released the cold arrows could react, they were quickly subdued.

Some people were so frightened that they jumped directly from the city tower and fell to their deaths on the spot, and some people were wiped on the neck with a knife because they resisted.

People turn on their backs.

In the cold and sharp killing cry, there were screams again and again.

The dead soldier who was carefully arranged to assassinate Pei Zhen was taken down by the guard battalion in just a quarter of an hour.

Zuo Zhong threw the person at Pei Zhen's feet.

"King, what to do?"

Pei Zhen: "Tie it up and send it to the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”

Zuo Zhong and Ji You glanced at each other, both a little puzzled.

These are all evidence of Li Zongxun's plot to assassinate King Yonghuai, and sending them back is not conniving at him?

Ji You said: "I have to let all the civil and military officials see the true face of Prime Minister Li Cheng." ”

Pei Yan looked at him, "Do you think the civil and military officials don't know?" ”

There is already a clear chess on the chessboard, just see who is more shameless.

Li Zongxun is really even more shameless.

That night, the Empress Dowager Li summoned the ministers into the palace again, one discussed Xing and the little emperor, and the other discussed the matter of re-establishing the new monarch, but Li Zongxun hurriedly participated in Pei Zhen's book, impeaching King Yonghuai for supporting the army and respecting himself, holding the King of Qin hostage, and disobeying the edict of the first emperor, and asked Li Sangruo to immediately issue an edict to set up the little prince Yuanshuo as the new monarch.

Li Sangruo understood, and sighed tiredly, "Yes." ”

Pei Zhen did not enter the palace and was not present.

The ministers looked at each other and were silent for a while.

A hero who fought on the battlefield and split the earth and sealed the king, before he had time to add the gift of Jiuxi, he was convicted of several major crimes by Li Zongxun out of nothing, and was beaten as a rebel in the army.

Ao Zheng hesitated for a moment, gritted his tooth socket, and walked out of the column.

"Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother, the minister has objections."

Li Sangruo frowned, "Aiqing, please speak." ”

Ao Zhengdao: "The minister is fortunate to be favored by the first emperor, and he is ordered to be the middle of the imperial history, supervise hundreds of officials, and be impeached full-time, just as he should share the worries of His Royal Highness and seek benefits for the Great Jin, but I can't bear to reverse black and white in front of the minister's eyes." ”

Li Zongxun snorted heavily, "The master of the stage is convincing, do you want to excuse your brother-in-law?" ”

Ao Zheng looked directly at him sideways, "Prime Minister Li Cheng, the lower officials have never said a word in the court. Although King Yonghuai is my brother-in-law, he and the lower officials have never dealt with each other, who in the court does not know? Does the prime minister want to convict the lower officials of the crime of disordering the party? ”

After saying that, he turned around, bowed to the ministers present, and then turned to face Li Sangruo and said:

"The minister thought that King Yonghuai had a meritorious service to Sheji, and if he returned to the dynasty after victory, his exploits would be erased and he would become a bandit, which would hurt the hearts of the soldiers in the world. And again—"

He paused, and then said: "Your Majesty, Beirong is coming, at this juncture, removing a general who can lead troops into battle for the position of the new monarch is tantamount to cutting off his arm. ”

Li Zongxun sneered, "Listen to the will of the lord of the stage, and if you have a meritorious minister, you can not follow the will of the first emperor and seek to usurp the throne?" ”

Ao Zheng suppressed his smile and cast a disdainful look at him.

"The words of the prime minister's family did not dare to believe it. The great crime of rebellion must be justified enough, right? ”

Some of the ministers nodded.

Li Zongxun sank his face and let out a "hmm" sound in his nose.

"Pei Zhen is the remnant of the Xie family army in Southern Qi, holding the prince hostage, and plotting to rebel, is this reason enough?" (End of chapter)
