The emperor looked at Ji Xuan and said, "You say this, my father firmly believes it. Father knew that since you left the mountain, you have been intercepted and killed by your second emperor brother many times, but you have not retaliated. Father knows that you also have masters by your side, and it may not be difficult to take his life, but you have not done so, and Father is very pleased. Based on this alone, you are more qualified than your second brother to inherit the throne. ”

Ji Xuan didn't expect that the emperor knew that King Cheng had repeatedly intercepted and killed him, and his eyes showed surprise. It's just that he can't understand why the emperor didn't stop it since he knew that King Cheng was killing each other.

The emperor saw Ji Xuan's surprise and puzzlement, and said, "He has repeatedly attacked you, and it was Xue Chen who told his father after waking up this time. To tell the truth, my father was very angry when he heard this. I really wanted to kill this rebel son in order to seize the throne, but after thinking about it, my father still relented, the royal blood was already withering, if I killed him again, you would be left alone after I returned to the west. The most important thing is that I am afraid that future generations will judge you in vain. ”

Ji Xuan understood everything at this time, waved to the emperor, and said: "Father is right to do this, the son has thanked the father for everything he has done for the son." ”

The emperor waited for Ji Xuan to sit upright and continued: "You are kind-hearted, it is really rare, my father and the emperor have handed over the Great Wei Jiangshan left by the ancestors and ancestors to you, and I hope you will not live up to your father." ”

Ji Xuan got up this time, knelt down on the side, bowed deeply to the emperor, and said, "The son will definitely not disappoint his father." ”

The emperor looked at Ji Xuan's back and smiled with satisfaction......

......

Above the early dynasty.

King Cheng and Ji Xuan stood on the left and right.

It stands to reason that King Cheng should swap places with Ji Xuan now, but he has never done so, and no one has raised objections.

The Emperor looked at the positions of the two and apparently knew about the mistake, but he didn't bring it up either.

After discussing several state affairs, the emperor asked Fan Changyun: "Fan Qing, on the auspicious day of the crown prince's canonization, can your cabinet discuss with the Ministry of Rites and Si Tianjian?"

Fan Changyun bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Rites and Si Tian have chosen a few auspicious days, and the minister feels that something is wrong, so he has ordered them to choose a new day. ”

The emperor frowned slightly, turned his gaze to the ministers standing in the column, and then turned to Fan Changyun and asked, "Let's hear it, what's wrong." ”

Fan Changyun said: "Yes." The Ministry of Rites and the Si Tian supervised the days after June, but according to the previous time, I am afraid that His Majesty would have fallen ill by then......"

"Bold Fan Changyun," King Cheng suddenly took two steps forward to interrupt Fan Changyun's words and pointed at him and shouted, "What is your intention, you dare to curse your father and emperor for being sick......

The emperor also interrupted King Cheng's words, waved his hand, and said: "Don't make a fuss about everything, what Fan Aiqing said is not wrong, in the past, it only took half a year for my father to wake up from this illness." ”

King Cheng was not willing to let Fan Changyun go like this, he learned that the emperor had specially met Fan Changyun alone before selecting the crown prince, so he must have said bad things about himself in front of the emperor, at least he did not recommend himself as the crown prince.

King Cheng bowed slightly to the emperor, and said: "What my father said about my son's ministers also understands, but it is disrespectful for him to talk about the king for his courtiers, so his sons implore his father to cure Fan Changyun's crimes." ”

King Cheng hated Fan Changyun, and besides, he couldn't be the prince anymore, and he was fearless, so he dared to be above the court, in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, and forced the emperor to punish the emperor and be the head of the cabinet.

The emperor looked at King Cheng, his face was already slightly angry, and he squinted his eyes and did not speak. He knew that King Cheng wanted to take the opportunity to vent his grievances, but how could he cure Fan Changyun's sin?

The emperor did not speak, and King Cheng just stood with his bow like that.

Ji Xuan was just about to open his mouth to solve the situation in front of him, Fan Changyun bowed down and said: "What the minister said just now is indeed disrespectful, His Royal Highness King Cheng asked His Majesty to punish the minister's sin is not inappropriate, so the minister implores His Majesty to surrender." ”

The emperor moved his gaze to Fan Changyun, his deep eyes showed a hint of apology, and after a pause, he said: "Since Aiqing took the initiative to ask for guilt, then punish you for half a year as a punishment." ”

Fan Changyun knelt down and bowed, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your punishment!"

What else did King Cheng want to say, but the emperor didn't give him a chance, and asked below: "Zhu Aiqing, the cabinet asked you to choose an auspicious day again, you can choose it?"

A person who walked out of the queue bowed down and replied: "Your Majesty, the auspicious days are all after June, so the ministers ......"

"Full of nonsense!" the emperor shouted angrily with a heavy palm of his right hand on the big case in front of him.

The emperor suddenly became angry, and the Manchu civil and military officers in the hall were all frightened, and they all bowed down and stood, not daring to speak out.

Master Zhu, the master of ceremonies, was even more frightened, and knelt on the ground, trembling and not daring to squeak, waiting for the emperor's thunderous anger.

The emperor raised his right hand and pointed at Lord Zhu and continued to reprimand angrily: "There are still three or four months before June, and you dare to say that there is no auspicious day? I tell you, if you can't choose, I will find someone to choose for you!"

Lord Zhu fell to the ground and said in a terrified voice, "Your ...... After the minister returns, he will definitely ...... We must re-observe the heavens and measure the auspicious day. ”

The emperor ignored him, and did not say anything more, he first looked at King Cheng, and at this time King Cheng also bowed his head.

The Emperor looked at the other ministers, all of whom bowed their heads.

It was rare for the emperor to be so angry, and everyone in the hall was terrified, lest the wrath of thunder fall on their heads at this time.

At this time, the hall was unusually silent.

After about half an hour passed, the emperor calmed his anger a little, and said with the might of an emperor: "I don't care what you have done before, from today onwards, if you dare to disobey the yang and the yin again, and deceive the king, I will give you the new account and the old account together." ”

When the Emperor's voice fell, the silence of the hall returned to death.

"Zhao Tianyi of the Ministry of Rites!"

After the silence, although the emperor's words were not harsh, they suddenly startled everyone.

In particular, a minister who took a step out of the queue fell to his knees in fright, and said tremblingly: "Minister, minister is here." ”

The emperor looked at the minister and said, "Is there a problem with your Ministry of Rites to draw up the regulations for the crown prince's canonization as soon as possible?"

"No, no problem. Zhao Tianyi, who was lying on the ground, was still shocked, and continued to reply in a trembling voice.

The emperor did not let Zhao Tianyi stand up after he finished answering, and continued to say with majesty: "Although the King of Qi has not yet been officially canonized as the crown prince, he has begun to govern together with the cabinet from today onwards. ”

The Emperor stopped when he said this, hoping for a response from his ministers, but only a few voices answered yes.

The Emperor frowned and said again, "Didn't you hear what I said?"

The emperor's question was already very clear, and let the ministers respond, and the ministers who did not squeak just now no longer dared to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and replied in unison: "The ministers understand!"

After waiting for everyone to respond, the emperor continued: "You are all my courtiers of Great Wei, and each of you should know very well who you should be loyal to, so I advise you today to turn around before you can go ashore, if one road goes to the dark, there is only one way to die!"

The emperor's words today could not be clearer, he was warning those ministers who had climbed to become kings, so that they could recognize the situation and restrain themselves from the precipice, otherwise they would surely have endless troubles.

Those vassals who became kings are now doing their own inner entanglements.

King Cheng also understood what the emperor meant, but he didn't care about himself, standing there expressionlessly.

The emperor did not speak anymore, but looked at the two kneeling on the ground, and after a long time, he said, "That's all for today." ”
