Chapter 343: Guilty Edict

"I don't think that's necessary."

As soon as Chen Chao said this, there was silence in the hall, and the fallen leaves could be heard.

The soldiers in the hall "rubbed" on the ground, pulled out the long knives in their sheaths one after another, and approached Emperor Yongxing with a brush, their eyes were not good, and they were bound to be the vanguard of killing the emperor!

"Chen Dynasty, you can't kill the emperor!"

"You are his father, the tiger poison does not eat the son, how can you kill the son?"

Sensing the danger, Fang Xiu opened his arms, like an old hen protecting her cubs, blocking in front of Emperor Yongxing, and also blocking those blades that flashed with cold light.

"That's right."

The other scholars stiffened, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said in a loud voice:

"Chen Dynasty, you can't kill the emperor! You are the prime minister of the Great Age, and the father of the Son of Heaven, and the first emperor entrusted you with the burden of reviving the Great Era before his death, how can you do such a treacherous thing? Chen Chao, stop. ”

"It's not too late to pull back from the precipice."

With Fang Xiu opening his mouth, the others spoke out one after another.

In their eyes, it is true that Chen Chao is a powerful minister with means and scheming, but he will definitely not be a chaotic minister and thief who usurps the throne like Li Yu and Li Wei, as long as it comes to his heart, Chen Chao will change his mind, and Daji will be able to get back on track.

Hearing this, Chen Chao just frowned, and before he could speak, Emperor Yongxing spoke first.

This young emperor, the emperor who had just been deposed by Li Yu, was furious, pointed at Chen Chao and roared:

"Chen Chao!"

"I am the Emperor of the Great Age, do you dare to kill me? Aren't you afraid of being criticized by the world? ”

"Huh."

Chen Chao smiled, laughing extremely sarcastically, he stretched out a finger and poked it at the center of Emperor Yongxing's eyebrows, and Emperor Yongxing staggered back.

Such a provocative action made him feel extremely humiliated.

And the Chen Dynasty wanted to humiliate the self-righteous emperor fiercely, mocking: "Emperor Daji? Li Zhaoyang, are you still? Are you still the emperor? ”

"It was you who personally stamped the treasure seal on the abdication edict, and from the moment you put the treasure seal on, you will not be the emperor!"

"Bring it!"

Chen Chao snorted lightly, and a sensible eunuch hurriedly took the previous abdication edict of Emperor Yongxing and respectfully held it with both hands.

Chen Chao picked it up and threw it in Emperor Yongxing's face.

The strength is so great that even the crown on Emperor Yongxing's head is crooked.

Emperor Yongxing almost fell to the ground, his body trembling slightly.

This situation is a huge humiliation for Emperor Yongxing.

Chen Chao didn't care about those, looked at the Wenchang Pavilion scholars headed by Fang Xiu, and said:

"Before the first emperor died, he entrusted me with the burden of the country, and I, Chen Chao, asked myself, I have never taken the great discipline!"

"But he, Li Zhaoyang, has he ever done a meritorious thing for the country and the people during his years as emperor?"

"No, not a single one! He is the emperor in vain! ”

"What was he doing when I was out of town? He is secretly uniting with the Wang Party, and the Zhou Party impeached me? ”

"What was he doing when I was fighting in Yunzhou? He is high on the dragon chair, wishing that I would die in Yunzhou as soon as possible. ”

"After I returned to Beijing with a great victory, I just wanted to deal with Li Yu, the culprit who withheld the army's ordnance and grain and grass, and almost defeated me on the front line, what was he doing? He brought out the ancestral training of the Li family, so many soldiers were killed on the front line, and Li Yu was still alive and well, he was covering up. ”

When everyone in the hall heard this, their expressions were different.

The scholars of Wenchang Pavilion, who had always supported Emperor Yongxing, and some ministers in the palace all bowed their heads silently, ashamed.

They knew all these things, but they were powerless to admonish.

The soldiers in the hall gritted their teeth and were full of indignation, and they hated Emperor Yongxing one after another, and the knife in their hands became tighter and tighter, and they couldn't wait to send the emperor to the west in the next moment.

The soldiers are fighting on the front line, but this emperor is shielding criminals in the rear, how can there be such a reason in the world?

Such an emperor is not worthy of their allegiance.

Chen Chao then looked around at the ministers, took a deep breath, and exhaled heavily, as if it would be much easier to say it.

He had wanted to say what he had said before, but he didn't find a chance for a while.

Not finished, Chen Chao continued:

"Now I'm in the Chen Dynasty, I don't kill the emperor, I am a rebellious minister and a thief, my Chen Dynasty has no interest!"

"I Chen Dynasty only need a justice! There is only one justice in this world! ”

Hearing that Chen Chao said that he would not kill the emperor, many people in the audience breathed a sigh of relief.

Someone said: "Yes, Your Majesty should return Chen Xiang, and the soldiers who died in the battle in Yunzhou should also give justice to all the people in the world." ”

"I don't know this justice? How does Chen Xiang discuss? ”

Chen Chao's tone suddenly raised, and he pointed at Emperor Yongxing: "I want him to make an edict against himself!" Tell the world! ”

Rumble!

Time seems to stand still in this moment.

As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the main hall, and no one spoke for a long time.

Emperor Yongxing's eyes shrank suddenly, and his head buzzed.

Guilty of self-inflicted edicts?

Guilty of his own edict!

"No way, I'm right, why should I make an edict? Chen Chao, you just want to humiliate me, instead of this, you might as well kill me directly! ”

In Emperor Yongxing's heart, what he did before was all right!

Everything he did was to fight against the powerful minister of the Chen Dynasty.

He's not wrong.

Emperor Yongxing was very angry, angry to the extreme, his eyebrows were upside down, and he squeezed into an inverted eight-shape.

Since the founding of the Great Chronicle, I have never heard of a king who has issued an edict against himself!

Neither can he!

If he goes down, he will be a sinner of the Li clan of the royal family! Sinners through the ages!

"Your Majesty! Why are you obsessed? His Majesty is guilty, first, shielding Li Yu, causing today's catastrophe, and second, unwarranted suspicion. ”

"Please, Your Majesty, make an edict!"

Qin Xiangru's round body stood out from the few courtiers in the main hall, arched his hands, and said in a deep voice.

Emperor Yongxing snorted coldly: "Qin Xiangru, I think you are crazy?" A little Shangshu dares to accuse me? Who gave your dog guts? It's Chen Chao, right? ”

Qin Xiangru didn't answer.

At this time, another official came out of the ranks, and it was an imperial historian of the Metropolitan Procuratorate:

"Minister, please give your majesty an edict and give an explanation to the world!"

"Huh." Emperor Yongxing's eyes lit up and pointed at him: "As soon as Wang Shibin dies, you will also become the dogs of the Chen Dynasty, and you will change your face really quickly."

"Officials, now that the Chen Dynasty is so humiliated and trampled on the dignity of the royal family, you will not impeach him." Emperor Yongxing pointed at Chen Chao sharply and continued: "But you want to make an edict against yourself, are you worthy?" ”

A few more imperial historians rushed out of the ranks, their faces were not angry, obviously angry with Emperor Yongxing:

"What does Your Majesty mean by this?"

"My imperial history has always had the right to impeach and picket, and I have it for hundreds of officials, and His Majesty still has it!"

"Your Majesty made a mistake, why is he obsessed?"

"Your Majesty, please give me an edict!"

Emperor Yongxing's face froze, and he was about to speak, but he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure slowly standing in the center of the main hall.

Emperor Yongxing opened his mouth and said in astonishment: "Teacher, why are you too?" ”

That's right, it was the teacher of the Son of Heaven who stood up, Fang Xiu.

This teacher of the Son of Heaven, in the previous years, no matter what happened, he always stood on the side of Emperor Yongxing and was his loyal supporter.

But today, Fang Xiu stood up and was getting farther and farther away from Emperor Yongxing.

Li Zhaoyang felt what it means to be betrayed and separated.

Fang Xiu stood up, looked at Emperor Yongxing respectfully, raised his eyes and said in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, as the emperor, you shielded Li Yu, and strayed into the whirlpool of the emperor's mind and couldn't extricate yourself, you fell too deep, you have gone astray, turn back."

"Your Majesty, please make an edict!"

Emperor Yongxing looked at Fang Xiu, his fingers trembling and pointed at him, "Teacher, you are, but you have watched me grow up, and everything I have done today is what you taught." Even you want to betray me? ”

Fang Xiu didn't say anything, just knelt down.

At this moment, Emperor Yongxing only felt that his throat was surging with sweetness, and he couldn't suppress it.

Not long after, with a "poof", Emperor Yongxing spit out a mouthful of blood and sprinkled it on the Golden Palace.
