There are madmen in the world Chapter 42 Tongue Wars Ministers
Zhao Guo, Handan!
It was not too late to dawn in May, Chu Hong tossed in the woods for half the night, and when he returned to Handan City, it was already dawn.
The city is as bustling as ever, with bustling crowds coming and going on the streets, and the sounds of hawking on both sides are endless. Everything was so natural, as if what happened last night was a dream.
Only a few well-intentioned people could detect some clues from the pair of soldiers who hurried by, and a part of the hurried crowd.
Chu Hong walked on this familiar street, and not far in front of him was Luo Shuai's Mansion, but Chu Hong looked at this high-gate mansion from a distance, but there was a trace of fear in his heart, and there was some expectation.
The mansion was now devoid of the sergeants standing guard, and there were no lanterns fluttering in the wind that night. Luo Shuai has been dead for a month, and he has long been buried when Chu Hong was injured in a sneak attack.
For a long time, Chu Hong didn't have the courage to push open the vermilion door. With a long sigh, Chu Hong turned around and walked in the direction of the palace.
Outside the palace, groups of Yulin guards patrolled back and forth, and when Chu Hong passed by Yuwang's Mansion, he saw the gate that had been sealed.
There are also clearly visible arrow marks and marks of knives and axes on the gate, proving how fierce the battle has taken place here on the left and right.
"Briefly, I want to see Princess Qingchan!"
Chu Hong took out his Xiaoyao Hou token and handed it to a Yu Lin Wei, and said with a bit of decline.
After a while, that Yu Lin Wei came back, if you still have an acquaintance of Chu Hong, the third prince of His Majesty the Emperor.
"Master Hou, you can come back safely, the old slave can be regarded as relieved!
By the way, Your Majesty has invited you to go to the imperial study to see the driver! Princess Qingchan is also here, let's please. ”
When the third father-in-law saw Chu Hong again, he was a little less arrogant and more awe-inspiring than the previous two times. Especially now that Chu Hong's body has experienced the evil aura left over from a night of fighting, the three father-in-law who are even more shocked dare not breathe.
"Oh, didn't Your Majesty go to the morning court today?"
"Yes, but this morning, alas... It's hard to put into words!"
The third father-in-law touched the chin of his non-existent beard, sighed and shook his head.
"What's going on?" Chu Hong saw the appearance of the third father-in-law, as if something terrible had happened in the early dynasty today.
"Alas, it's not that the slave is talking, it's a matter of this! Your Majesty is indeed in a hurry. ”
"What's the matter?" Chu Hong asked curiously.
"Your Majesty plans to set up the crown prince today, but it is opposed by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty! The angry Your Majesty directly brushed his sleeves away, and now the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are still kneeling at the side of the Jinluan Palace?
"Hehe! This is new! Which prince has Your Majesty appointed as the prince? How can the Manchu civil and military forces oppose it so unanimously?"
Chu Hong asked with a smile,
The third father-in-law saw that Chu Hong could still laugh, and he was about to cry in a hurry.
"Oh, Master Hou, why are you still laughing?"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is Princess Qingchan!"
"Who... Who?"
Chu Hong's figure walking on the royal road suddenly stood up, and looked at the third father-in-law with an incredible face!
"It's Princess Qingchan!"
"Qingchan?"
"Yes!" The third father-in-law looked at Chu Hong's dumbfounded appearance and nodded innocently.
"Hehe! Interesting! King Yu is dead, and the sixth prince, King Qin, is also dead. Originally, I thought that His Majesty would choose the second prince, King Shuo, but I didn't expect this old guy to want Qingchan to succeed to the throne!
You Zhao don't have a precedent for empresses, right?"
Chu Hong said with a chuckle.
"But then again, Qingchan is indeed much stronger than his wasted sons! It's no wonder that His Majesty chose Qingchan. ”
"Oh, hey, my ancestors, you speak quietly, and the word spreads. The Manchu Dynasty has all been offended by you. ”
Seeing that Chu Hongkou was not blocked, the third father-in-law hurriedly whispered to dissuade him.
"Forget it, I'm not going to the imperial study. You go directly to Your Majesty and let him continue to the court. I'll go to the Golden Luan Hall to meet these old stubborns. ”
After speaking, Chu Hong turned around and walked in the other direction of the palace.
"Hey, hey, Hou, Houye! Something is going to happen, this is!"
Seeing that Chu Hong ignored him, the third father-in-law slapped himself in the mouth, and hurriedly continued to run towards the imperial study.
On the Jinluan Palace, when Chu Hong pushed open the door. I saw that a group of ministers were still kneeling on the ground, but some of the elderly ministers couldn't stand it anymore at this time. The posture of kneeling has changed somewhat to kneeling.
Suddenly heard the sound of someone opening the door behind them, and everyone looked back, but under the dazzling sunlight, everyone really couldn't see who was coming?
Only the five-grade petty official who was close to the gate saw clearly who was coming!
However, he would rather not look up just now out of curiosity. At the moment, he could only keep his head down, eager to stuff his head into the crotch of the person in front of him and hide it.
Kneeling in the first row, the old Ministry of Rites Shangshu relied on his identity as a veteran of the two dynasties. And when he saw that he was standing at the door of the main hall, he did not come in. He was already very angry, and he snorted unhappily
"Hmph, who are you? Why did you trespass on the Jinluan Palace? I don't know if it's the time for the court?
Come on, get me out!"
"Yo he, Lord Wu, you're so angry today! Why can't you get angry when you kneel on the ground?"
Chu Hong pushed open the door, still worried about who to ask for trouble! So he stood at the gate and didn't enter. Who knew that someone would send a pillow when he was sleepy. Someone sent it to the door to slap himself in the face!
Chu Hong vaguely remembered that the last time he went to court, it seemed that this person's son was the first to speak up to make things difficult for him, right?
Besides, this person seems to be the person of the second prince, and the mother concubine of the second prince is the sister of this old guy, and she properly opposes the backbone.
"Are you the Marquis of Careease?"
Lord Wu listened to this familiar voice, and waited for Chu Hong to enter the main hall, and then he saw clearly that it was Chu Hong!
"How is that possible? You're not?"
"How is it impossible? Do you want to say that I wasn't killed by the Liu family?
Chu Hong looked at Lao Shangshu playfully, and strolled towards the front. At this time, the entire hall was silent, and everyone heard Chu Hong's footsteps is their own heartbeat.
"It's a pity that my life is great. Liu Li's people didn't kill me, but Liu Mi asked me to kill me. Isn't it a surprise?"
Chu Hong walked up to Master Wu step by step, squatted down, stared at Lao Shangshu with dead eyes, and said fiercely
"There are people who can kill me Chu Hong, but they will definitely not be in this extreme eastern land, let alone in this Zhao country. ”
At this moment, everyone heard the shrill voice of the third father-in-law, and shouted a little hurriedly: "The emperor has arrived!
When everyone heard this voice at this time, the voice that usually felt a little impatient turned out to be very kind today. couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and hurriedly knelt down again.
Chu Hong also got up and stood aside, clasped his hands into fists, bowed his waist slightly, and lowered his head to show respect.
"Zhong Aiqing is flat!"
Zhao Heng sat straight on the dragon chair, and Zhao Qingchan, who was still dressed in military uniform, stood opposite Chu Hong with a sword, and the two of them stood at the front of the hall facing the ministers.
"The ministers kneel and beg His Majesty to take back his life!"
His Royal Highness's ministers knelt down, but instead asked Zhao Heng to withdraw the order to canonize Princess Qingchan.
"Do you Aiqing want me to die in the country? I only have children except Qingchan, and there is no virtuous person. Are you forced to die just because she's a daughter?"
Zhao Heng slapped the case angrily, stood up and roared angrily.
"Your Majesty, since the founding of the country, there has been no precedent for a woman to ascend the throne! This move is really a way to deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors!
Lord Wu, who is in his sixties, said tremblingly.
Then there was a chorus of applause in the hall.
"Besides, the second prince has been brilliant since he was a child, although he cannot be said to be comparable to His Majesty, but with the assistance of old ministers and others, he will be able to ensure the peace of a country. It's better than having a woman in power and adding to the laughing stock!"
"Looking at the whole world, how can there be a reason for women to rule the country and the people are safe? I hope Your Majesty will think twice!"
"Your Majesty think twice!"
His Royal Highness's ministers were boiling, you said a word to me, and the straightforward Zhao Heng pointed at everyone and was speechless.
Chu Hong looked at this posture, if it went on like this, it was not possible that Zhao Heng, the old emperor, would have a cerebral hemorrhage or something on the spot!
"Hehe, the loyalty of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty is really a lesson from heaven and earth, the sun and the moon shine together!"
"In the eyes of an outsider, I hate it even more!"
Chu Hong took out his cigarette pouch, gently added a pot of tobacco leaves, and took a slow breath.
"Marquis Chu, what do you mean by that?"
When a minister heard Chu Hong speak, he immediately straightened up and pointed at Chu Hong and asked angrily.
"Hey, isn't this Lord Lu who just said that he wants to learn from death?"
"In other words, the royal prince is naturally based on merit. It's a royal housework, what's the matter with a bunch of old guys getting involved here?"
"Do you have to make your majesty set up a nest and then let you be at your mercy, so that you are happy? You are too bold, right? Is this Zhao country your world, or your majesty's world?"
When Chu Hong said in the end, he shouted and scolded, so frightened that the ministers hurriedly knelt down and shouted!
"And you, Lord Wu. Do you say that women are not in line with the etiquette and law?
Then would you like to tell me which of the rules of the law of etiquette does not allow women to ascend the throne? Which of the seven generations of emperors since the founding of the Great Zhao Dynasty said that women are not allowed to ascend the throne?"
Chu Hong lowered her head again, knocked on Lao Shangshu's black gauze hat with a cigarette stick, and asked sharply.
"It's... This is indeed not stipulated in the etiquette law of this dynasty. However, Emperor Wende of the previous dynasty once famously said that women were not allowed to participate in politics. I'm Da Zhao..."
Before Wu Shangshu could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Chu Hong.
"What a former Emperor Wende of the Ming Dynasty! It turns out that Lord Wu's family is still a loyal family of the Ming Dynasty!"
Chu Hong grabbed Lao Shangshu's flaws and continued.
"No matter what kind of goods Emperor Ming Wende is, just say that you, Lord Wu, eat the Yulu of the previous dynasty, or take the Xiangyin of the previous dynasty?"
Before Chu Hong finished speaking, Lao Shangshu's face had changed drastically. If this matter is small, it is a slip of the tongue, and if it is big, it is treason, and the remnants of the previous dynasty are evil!
"Speaking of Emperor De, the former dynasty had a vast territory and strong soldiers. Ruling the land of several states, Emperor Mingde favored traitors during his reign and killed loyal ministers and famous generals in vain. He was arrogant and arrogant, and personally led a large army to go out on an expedition, but the army was defeated and captured!
"You are asking your current majesty with such a decree of the emperor of the previous dynasty, how many heads does your entire clan of Lord Wu have enough for you to toss?"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the old minister has no such intention, it's just that it really hurts the heavens and the peace to set up a woman as the prince!
Women are in power, the world is intolerable, and I am afraid that a great disaster will befall my Da Zhao. ”
"The old minister's family is absolutely loyal to His Majesty, and there is no second heart. ”
Chu Hong was scared enough to see Lao Shangshu, and knew that the heat was almost over.
"Xiaohou also knows that the boss is loyal, and it is also for His Majesty's sake. Xiaohou's words just now are just an example, I hope Your Majesty will not take it to heart. ”
"Well, Wu Aiqing's loyalty, I still know. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Lord Hou!"
Lao Shangshu hurriedly kowtowed to apologize, and at the same time resisted the urge to slash Chu Hong with a knife and kowtow to Chu Hong to thank him.
"Let's talk about the matter of women ruling the country, it is true that my Great Zhao has no precedent for this, but you should know that in the distant Central Continent, there is a super kingdom, the Great Yu Heavenly Empire. ”
"How vast is the territory of the Great Yu Heavenly Empire, and how many powerful people are under it? But the current emperor is the empress, who has been in power for three hundred years.
Has the Great Yu Heavenly Empire had any omissions under the governance of Her Majesty the Empress? Can there be heavenly punishments, but can there be heaven and earth that are intolerable?
Her Majesty the Empress of the Great Yu Heavenly Dynasty can accommodate the ruling of the heavens, why is it intolerable for the little Zhao State in my extreme east to have a woman in power?"
Chu Hong stared at the people in the hall, his voice was neither fast nor slow, neither slow nor hurried!
At the same time, at a distance of not knowing how many billions of miles away from here, a soft couch in a grand hall of magnificence to the extreme. An extremely gorgeously dressed woman who can't tell her age is closing her eyes and recuperating!
There are eight female officials standing on each side of the soft couch!
Suddenly, this gorgeously dressed woman with a noble temperament opened her eyes, and these eyes were matched with that beautiful face, which actually gave people a kind of majesty that was not angry and arrogant.
"Heh, what a little fellow, but he's quite bold!"
。。。。。。
Chu Hong's words, not to mention everyone in the hall, even Zhao Heng was so frightened that he couldn't sit still!
Only Zhao Qingchan watched Chu Hong speak up for her, and fought the ministers. Tears in her eyes, as for what he said, she probably didn't hear a word.
"Do you still have doubts?"
Zhao Heng saw that Chu Hong's ministers didn't dare to speak, so he hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, ready to finalize the matter in one go, so he hurriedly asked.
Then after waiting for about two breaths and still no one answered, Zhao Heng spoke again
"Since you Aiqing is undoubtedly righteous, then this matter is decided!"
"Message: Today, Princess Qingchan is canonized as the prince of Zhao State, and the world will be amnesty. Those who committed capital crimes were sentenced to 1,000 miles in prison and served for 20 years. The rest of the guilt is punished by the law!
In addition, Xiaoyao Hou Chuhong has escorted me many times to ensure the safety of my big Zhao. He is specially named the first-class king of Qi, the fief of Qingzhou, and the palm of the Heavenly Pavilion!
"In addition, Wu Minglin, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is the prince and the prince, and assists the prince!"
"Congratulations to Your Majesty! Congratulations to Prince Qingchan, congratulations to King Qi!"
When the people saw that His Majesty was so swift, they sent the decree down. Knowing that this matter could not be changed, I had to give up!
After Zhao Heng left, they supported each other.
Among them, especially Lao Shangshu, he really wandered around the Ghost Gate! In the end, he was blessed by misfortune, not only did he save his life, but he also won the title of prince and prince.
