393. Chapter 393: Countdown to the End 2
Yes, at that time, he also entered the court with full ambition, and he was indeed outstanding, step by step to the position of prime minister above 10,000 people under one person.
But how he got to this position is known only to himself.
In the past 20 years, he has become more sleek and has learned to judge the situation.
Naturally, he did assist Emperor Wu in doing many great things, and no one would say that he was incompetent, let alone that he was unworthy.
But he no longer has the vigor he had back then, and he has lost his pure heart.
And just when Prime Minister Wen was stunned, Chen Yuan suddenly got up.
Chen Yuan didn't go to see Emperor Wu, this indifferent appearance also made Emperor Wu murderous again, at this moment he had already made a decision, even if the court couldn't kill Chen Yuan, he would have to find an excuse to execute Chen Yuan later.
Sensing Chen Yuan's gaze, all the ministers raised their heads, some stunned, some respectful, and some indifferent.
But no matter who it was, Chen Yuan's gaze was always the same, and there was expectation and warmth in his eyes.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Chen is very happy to be an official in the same dynasty as your ministers, and I believe that many people, like me, have already seen the opportunity for the rise of Dawu. ”
"Further, the sky is high and the sea is wide, take a step back, the abyss!"
Remember https://m in a second.
"Shut up, Chen Yuan, do you still dare to cause trouble to the court?" Emperor Wu scolded angrily.
Chen Yuan ignored it this time, and just continued to look at those stunned eyes, "I'm old, it's time to let go and let you young people fight hard, you are the future of Dawu." ”
Is this connotative Emperor Wu? Chen Yuan is really crazy.
Prime Minister Wen also looked at Chen Yuan with mixed tastes, and his heart was not good.
At this time, Chen Yuan spoke again under the reprimand of Emperor Wu: "Today I am guilty, and the crime of disobeying the monarch of my dynasty is unforgivable, so I Chen Yuan confessed. ”
This is a begging for mercy, and it is finally time to say soft words.
Emperor Wu also thought so, but he still snorted, and still thought in his heart, "Even if he doesn't kill you today, he will kill you tomorrow." ”
But in the next second, Chen Yuan shouted again: "So today, I, Chen Yuan, sprinkled my blood in the Jinluan Palace, apologized for my sins with death, was wise with death, and proved the world with death." ”
"No!" Prime Minister Wen exclaimed urgently, but it was still a step too late, and Chen Yuan resolutely hit his head on the stone pillar.
"Old Chen!!" the scholars cried out sadly.
But it was already too late, and when Prime Minister Wen stepped forward, Chen Yuan had already choked his breath.
Gonggong Su also rushed down quickly, and after confirming that Chen Yuan was dead, he silently retreated to the emperor's side.
Emperor Wu also panicked when he heard Gonggong Su's confirmation.
Chen Yuan can't die, at least definitely can't die in the court, it's troublesome now.
Emperor Wu looked at the court that was already in chaos, and then remembered Chen Yuan's last words just now, Emperor Wu knew that if Chen Yuan's matter was not resolved well, I am afraid that this court would really be in chaos.
So in the next second, Emperor Wu rushed down quickly, and shouted sadly: "Aiqing, you are confused, you are confused." ”
Emperor Wu pushed everyone aside, and then came to Chen Yuan's side in a heartbroken manner.
Seeing Emperor Wu's tears, many people were also touched in their hearts, but a small number of people looked at Emperor Wu with a hint of doubt in their eyes.
Prime Minister Wen was the closest, and he could clearly see that although Emperor Wu's cry was loud, not a single tear actually fell.
Prime Minister Wen subconsciously clenched his fists, Chen Yuan's words before he died touched him very much, as if something was awakened in his heart.
Emperor Wu cried for a while before he said: "Passing on my will, although Chen Yuan was confused for a while, his dedication to the court all his life is incomparable, so Chen Yuan was posthumously named a scholar and buried with princely specifications." ”
A group of cabinet scholars knelt down gratefully to thank Chen Yuan for their honor, but although some of these scholars knelt down, their heads were bowed with a look of cowardice and resentment.
They are all smart people, they will not show it at this time, even if they are dissatisfied with Emperor Wu, they must be grateful to Emperor Wu at this time, otherwise Emperor Wu will inevitably clean them up afterwards.
Prime Minister Wen also understood this truth, and even deliberately gave the stubborn bachelor a look.
It's just that there are always some people who are arrogant and unwilling to extinguish Chen Yuan's will.
Prime Minister Wen was anxious, he wanted to protect these seeds for Chen Yuan, because he had already found out that Emperor Wu had noticed them, although Emperor Wu didn't say anything, but Prime Minister Wen knew that these people were afraid that they would not live long.
There is no need to even deliberately search for any criminal evidence, just need to claim that Chen Yuan was deceived and instigated by these people to be confused for a while, and then put the charge of rebellion on these people, and these people will definitely die.
It's a pity that under Chen Yuan's influence, even if these people knew that they would die, they still stared at Emperor Wu.
"Alas, why bother!" Prime Minister Wen lamented in his heart.
And the eyes of these people also made Emperor Wu unwilling to wait any longer, so he said to Prime Minister Wen: "I have never doubted Chen Aiqing's loyalty to my Dawu, loyalty to me, in the cabinet, there must be someone in it who is bewitching and confusing the public, give me an investigation, I must give Chen Aiqing an explanation." ”
Prime Minister Wen didn't expect that this would be his turn.
But after thinking about it carefully, I understand that firstly, this is a temptation by Emperor Wu for him, and secondly, it is naturally because only he has the right to check the people in the cabinet, after all, the current criminal department, the system has not been completely restored, and it is not needed for the time being.
Prime Minister Wen didn't dare to refuse, and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, the minister will definitely find out those people who are misleading the public." ”
After that, his eyes looked fiercely at the few people who refused to bend their knees just now.
Emperor Wu saw that Prime Minister Wen understood what he meant, and he also nodded to Prime Minister Wen secretly.
"Prime Minister Wen, then I will leave this matter to you, don't let me down. Emperor Wu said as he walked past Prime Minister Wen.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, there are already suspicious people in the minister's heart. Prime Minister Wen said in a low voice.
Emperor Wu smiled slightly, "This is very good, this matter is done, and I will definitely be rewarded." ”
After speaking, Emperor Wu left with the support of Gonggong Su, looking like he was devastated.
Not long after Emperor Wu left, there was a decree that came out, "The three border cities are victorious, the prince of Xuan Da will return to Beijing with the East Palace to receive the reward, and the second prince will need more experience, and the second prince will continue to stay in the three border cities with the military talisman." ”
As soon as this holy decree came out, everyone knew that Wu Yuan's military power was relieved.
As for what rewards you can receive after returning to Beijing, but you can't even restore the crown prince, and no matter how many rewards you get, it's a joke.
Only this time, the person who dared to speak was no longer there, and as soon as Chen Yuan died, it seemed that the entire court and the entire capital were invisibly shrouded in a layer of haze.
