Liu Yu raised the corners of his lips, looked at Wang Xun, and said in a deep voice: "Wang Pushe (Wang Xun currently lives in Zuopushe, Shangshu, and holds the post of General Zhengpi and Prince Zhan Shi), how come you are here at this time?
"
Wang Xun said coldly: "The late emperor passed away, and everyone in the city heard the death knell. As ministers, we naturally entered the palace at this time. The guards at Liangyi Palace said that the Queen Mother, King Kuaiji, and
Wang Shangshu and others have all come to Zhongshu Province, so we also came here."
Behind Wang Xun, there were more than ten officials wearing official robes, both purple and red. They were all middle and high-ranking officials in the court. Liu Yu recognized a few of them. Wang Ya, the regular attendant of Sanqi, and Huan Yin, the official of Zhongshu were all there.
Among them, even Wang Mi, who was the servant at the time, stood behind Wang Xun. When he saw Liu Yu, he nodded slightly.
These officials saluted the Queen Mother, the kings, and the princes one by one. Liu Yu looked at Wang Xun and said: "Wang Pushe, Zhuojing took a leave of absence temporarily because of family matters. It was this afternoon when I was on duty at Liangyi."
All the officers and soldiers in the palace can testify, and it was approved by the late emperor, and the Master Zhi was present at the time and can also testify."
Zhi Miaoyin immediately said: "Yes, the late emperor approved Zang's leave as a guard and allowed her to leave."
He Wuji and Xiang Jing also said quickly: "Yes, Miss Murong's family had a big incident and she took leave to return to China."
Wang Xun said coldly: "During the horse show, tens of thousands of people heard clearly that Murong Lan, the princess of the Yan Kingdom, voluntarily gave up her identity and clan and surrendered to our country, the Jin Dynasty. The late emperor even named her specially.
For the sake of Zang Aiqin, she has become a citizen of my country, Jin Dynasty. You said she is returning to her country or home. May I ask which country or home she is returning to?"
Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "Although Aiqin has joined me in Dajin, she is from the Murong family after all. Her eldest brother Murong Chui brought her up single-handedly. How can we break this relationship so easily? Murong Yan
The country has been undergoing great changes recently. Not only was it defeated miserably on the battlefield, but tens of thousands of troops were trapped and killed by Tuoba Wei. Even the puppet emperor Murong Chui died of illness due to grief and indignation. She took leave of absence in order to attend the funeral for her elder brother, who was like a brother and a father.
, this is human nature, right? I, the Jin Dynasty, govern the world with filial piety, is this not even allowed?"
Wang Xun sneered and said: "But this is such a coincidence. She left early and late. As soon as she left, the late emperor passed away. I heard that Murong Lan and Zhi Shitai were responsible for the late emperor these days.
Personal guard, and you, Liu Sima, are responsible for the defense outside the palace, so should you explain the funeral of the late emperor?"
Liu Yu said seriously: "Wang Pushe, what do you mean by this? Do you mean to say that the death of the late emperor has something to do with my wife?"
Wang Xun shook his head: "I didn't say that. I just followed Liu Sima's wishes and applied what you said to Prince Kuaiji to you again. The matter with the late Emperor is not over yet. All those responsible for his security have
You must accept review and bear corresponding responsibilities, Liu Sima, do you have any objection to this?"
Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "This is natural. The late emperor left so suddenly. Everyone from Concubine Zhang to us guards need to be investigated."
Wang Xun sneered and said: "Then I would like to ask Liu Sima, can you get your beloved wife back and let her be investigated? She is such a key and important figure. She suddenly disappeared at this time and returned to the enemy's country. It cannot help but make people feel sad."
I have doubts."
Liu Yu suddenly realized that he was leading the way for Wang Xun. Unknowingly, he had reached a very disadvantageous situation, but for a while, it seemed that he could not get rid of it. Thinking of this, his forehead began to sweat.
Sweating.
Liu Muzhi's voice sounded from the other side: "Wang Pushe, I humbly believe that the investigation into the cause of the death of the late emperor is not the most critical thing tonight. We are here to help the new emperor ascend the throne. This is what we have done before we come here."
It has been agreed that as the leader of all officials and deputy prime minister of the court, you should examine this so-called secret edict together with Wang Shangshu, the prime minister, and the king of Kuaiji, who also performs the duties of prime minister and assistant."
Liu Yu's heart moved and he saw Liu Muzhi's plump figure among the crowd. Although he was only wearing a green robe and was inconspicuous behind the crowd, everyone's eyes fell on him.
Wang Xun said coldly: "What Liu Canjun said makes sense, but it is not your turn as a little eighth-grade Canjun to intervene in national affairs, so stand down!"
Liu Muzhi smiled slightly, winked at Liu Yu, bowed and retreated. Liu Yu said seriously: "When the late emperor was here, he gave the humble post the right to guard, and also ordered the humble post to guard the palace. Now that the late emperor is buried, then what?
Zhongshu Province is the most important place in the palace, which is why I guard it here. Since the Queen Mother, Shangshu, Pushe, princes, and princes are all here now, I would like to ask the Empress Dowager to give an order to open the door of Zhongshu Province immediately.
, let’s check together to see if this so-called secret edict exists. If not, then please all your lords, please support His Highness the Crown Prince to ascend the throne immediately, so as to reassure people’s hearts and consolidate the foundation of the country!”
Wang Guobao said angrily: "No, this secret edict may not necessarily be here in Zhongshu Province. Maybe, maybe the late emperor placed it somewhere else. We cannot just hastily decide on the new emperor's important affairs. We must take a long-term approach!"
Empress Dowager Li looked at Wang Xun and said in a deep voice: "Wang Pushe, when the late emperor was here, he often praised you for being fair, capable, and able to coordinate the relationship between aristocratic families. You are a rare talent. Wang Shangshu has his own opinions.
But after all, his relationship with the King of Kuaiji is known to everyone in the world, and what he said may be biased. Now, the Ai family wants to hear your opinion before making a decision."
Sima Yuanxian gritted his teeth and said: "Grandma Huang, it's hard to say it's fair that Wang Pu Shen is serving as a minister for the prince. What he said must be biased towards the prince!"
Sima Dewen laughed: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am afraid that no one will be convinced by your words. If Wang Pushe is biased towards the Crown Prince, why did he doubt Liu Sima and his wife when they came? Liu Sima is here today to protect the Crown Prince and even
Even if you don't hesitate to offend your father and Wang Shangshu, if Wang Pushe really prefers the prince, he should go with him. Doesn't this mean that Wang Pushe is fair in dealing with things and not the person he treats?"
Wang Xun's eyes flashed coldly: "Thank you Queen Mother, Your Highness King Langya for your trust. What I just said is just out of my duty as a minister and is not directed at anyone. I agree with Liu Sima's opinion just now, and the search is underway immediately.
Shusheng, if there really is a secret edict, it will not only be an isolated edict, but a copy will also be left in the attic of Zhongshusheng. If there is not a secret edict corresponding to the original copy, it is a false edict, and those who falsify it should be treated as such.
The crime of treason. If there is no secret edict from Yi Chu, the crown prince should take the throne. Considering the health condition of the prince, the queen mother is also asked to follow the example of the former crown prince and act as an agent behind the curtain. The king of Kuaiji should assist the queen mother in regent. I don’t know what the queen mother and the prince of Kuaiji want.
How about next?"
