Chapter 332 Suddenly there is a madman sharpening his knives at night, and the emperor star is swaying and confused (1)
Late at night, East Palace.
The ministers were quarreling. Ever since they arrived at the East Palace, the quarrels had not stopped. They were making excuses, accusations, curses, complaints, and all kinds of things related to Lu Fang.
The prince's wife, Fang Changjing, calmly watched this scene, but a look of disappointment emerged. In the past, the minister who had always talked loudly was actually trying to shirk the blame and put all the blame on Lu Fang, thinking that he had not seen it.
Wrong person.
From the beginning to the end, I never thought about how to solve the current crisis and change the unfavorable situation.
This is not because they are stupid, but because their minds have changed and they are no longer of the same mind as the prince. After leaving the East Palace today, I don’t know how many people are going to seek refuge with King Jin, or to see His Majesty Taizong and His Majesty Gaozong.
The princeling party is already on the verge of collapse. If the prince has no solution, then the princeling party will fall apart after tonight.
This made Fang Changjing angry. These guys who showed their stupidity were just too smart.
Fang Changjing looked towards the prince. The prince was sitting on his knees behind the table. His face was expressionless and he didn't say a word. He was like a statue, which appeared very special in a noisy occasion.
Lu Fang's counterattack was fatal to the prince. Lu Fang's status was too high and he was also the prince's confidant. He knew too many of the prince's secrets. The evidence in his hands was very fatal. It was impossible to use this to overturn the case.
Fang Changjing couldn't bear it any longer and finally revealed the taboo that everyone had deliberately avoided.
"At this time, there is only one way for His Highness."
"mutiny."
These two words were spoken in a low voice, but they suppressed all the noisy voices. The scene became silent for a moment, but soon the rebuttal voice sounded: "No."
"Absolutely not."
"Yes, the risk of mutiny is too great."
"There was no hope of success."
A variety of voices kept talking about the difficulties. Almost half of the people directly opposed it, while a few of the remaining people supported it, and some remained silent.
Fang Changjing watched all this scene, and he couldn't help but speak with excitement: "Your Highness has entered a desperate situation. Although the rebellion is extremely difficult, if you don't fight once, you will definitely die."
"There is no deposed prince in the world who can live a long life."
The prince raised his hand to interrupt Fang Changjing's lecture: "No need to say it."
"There is no hope of success in mutiny."
"The Shenhou has left the Divine Capital and headed to Daliang City in Liangzhou. This was done intentionally by the Saint to prevent accidents."
"The rebellion will be defeated, but your sacrifice will be in vain."
"On the contrary, I have failed this time. As long as you accept it willingly, although you will be implicated, your lives will be saved."
"Let's break up."
The prince had no intention of continuing to speak, and waved his hand to drive everyone away.
Soon all the ministers left one by one. Only Fang Changjing did not get up. Looking at the prince who was no longer resisting, he couldn't help but persuade him: "In the case of Lu Fang, Lu Fang is a wolf-hearted person. It's not because His Highness knows people well."
"How can your Highness be depressed and knocked down by this incident? You are a wise king who wants to revive the Great Zhou Dynasty and create a prosperous age."
The prince looked at Fang Changjing and shook his head and said: "I give up resistance not only to save your lives, but also for the sake of Great Zhou."
"If the fight for the right to inherit the throne continues, it will be a disaster rather than a blessing for the country of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is absolutely impossible for Lu Fang to be won over by the King of Jin. If Lu Fang can betray me, it must be His Majesty Taizong who takes action."
"Although I have the ambition to revive the Great Zhou Dynasty, I am not sure that I can complete the revival. On the contrary, His Majesty Taizong has contributed to the founding of the country and the governance of the world."
"In his hands, the Great Zhou Dynasty rose to its peak. If His Majesty Taizong restores his power, he will be able to put down the Jiazi Rebellion and revive the Great Zhou Dynasty in the future."
Seeing that Fang Changjing was about to speak again, the prince waved his hand to deny Fang Changjing a chance to speak, and said calmly: "I know what you want to say."
"This time Lu Fang's betrayal has let me know that in the eyes of many courtiers, it is His Majesty Taizong who can revive the Great Zhou Dynasty, not me."
"How can you resist if people's hearts are against you?"
"Continuing to struggle will only keep causing internal friction and destroying the strength of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
"I am Ji's eternal sinner."
The prince fell silent, and there was one sentence he never said. This is the biggest secret of the Great Zhou Dynasty, that is, the True Dragon Great Destiny, rituals, and altars of the past have all been passed down and have not completely failed.
Among the Ji family, only His Majesty Taizong, the ancestor, can inherit the throne. If the restoration is successful, there will be a chance to break through to the realm of gods and demons.
His Majesty Taizong experienced the founding war of the People's Republic of China, and the Great Zhou Dynasty was able to dominate the world. His Majesty Taizong contributed a lot. After ascending the throne, he conquered the south and the north, and dominated the world. The Great Zhou Dynasty was prosperous, and he traveled far away from Xia and Shang. Only with such achievements can he succeed Emperor Taizu to complete the throne.
Long Da Destiny.
As a descendant of the Ji family, the best choice is to support His Majesty Taizong with all his strength.
The prince has known this for a long time, but he has always been unwilling to do so. He thinks that he can also revive the Great Zhou Dynasty. Now that the defeat has been determined, if he continues to struggle, it will be in vain. The key is to continue to undermine the power of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which is against his own will.
Got it.
Fang Changjing was silent and stood still for a long time. After a long time, Fang Changjing stood up, bowed to the prince and said, "I know His Highness's wishes."
"I'm just unhappy about not saying anything."
"Your Highness has the intention to protect the Great Zhou Dynasty, but the King of Jin and the Saint, as well as Taizong and Gaozong do not."
"The Great Zhou fell into their hands and was nothing more than a tool. Anyone who rises to power is not a blessing to the country. The Great Zhou will eventually be defeated."
"And the world is deeply afraid of His Highness. If His Highness is the prince and still has a chance to survive, if he gives up now, not only King Jin and Taizong will kill His Highness, but also some aristocratic families who have rebellious intentions and support the Jiazi Rebellion.
I will let His Highness go."
"When His Highness is driven out of the divine capital, he will look for opportunities to escape and give up his clan identity. He can save his life by hiding his name."
Fang Changjing looked at the indifferent prince, knowing that the prince would not do this. He had the overall situation in mind and was kind. This was also the reason why he supported the prince, but these beautiful qualities were now full of murderous intent.
Fang Changjing bowed again and said: "Your Highness, please take this very seriously."
"I'm leaving."
Fang Changjing turned around and left. After walking out of the East Palace, she came to a secret room.
Soon after, a school captain wearing armor arrived. Fang Changjing looked at the visitor, then at the other people in the secret room, and said in a deep voice: "Those who are able to come here are all His Highness' confidants."
"Your Highness will definitely be in danger after leaving the Capital of Gods. As a human being, His Highness will die suddenly on the way sooner or later. Therefore, I invite you here to pretend to be assassins, kidnap Your Highness and leave, so as to save Your Highness's life."
"I don't ask you all to do it together. I just need to arrange some manpower to help me complete some preparations."
"Why did you say this, sir? Your Highness has saved my life. Why would you care about mere wealth? I should give up everything to follow you and rescue His Highness together."
.............
The next day, the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Like a machine, Dou Changsheng began to tell the story of the disappearance of the Emperor's Seal according to the script.
Yesterday, Dou Changsheng did not go to the Six Gates at all, nor did he participate in the interrogation of Lu Fang. However, the Six Gates did not stop operating. In just one night, not only did they complete the interrogation, but they also verified the evidence handed over by Lu Fang.
There is no error in the evidence Lu Fang handed over, and all of it can be verified.
The relevant cases were all handed over to Dou Changsheng by the Oriental God in the morning. As the master of the Suzaku Hall, he was in charge of the criminal cases in Shendu. This time, although the case was too large, King Chen was personally responsible for it.
The above is also narrated by Dou Changsheng.
"What's the prince's excuse?"
"I plead guilty."
The prince did not resist and knelt down on the ground directly.
Dou Changsheng stared at the prince who confessed. Yesterday, news came out that the prince did not intend to resist. He did not expect that it was true. This person was different from the Ji clan members he knew.
It is said that the Ji family is mean and ungrateful, but in order to save many supporters, the prince did not resist. This is somewhat surprising, and I also have some admiration in my heart. Although this approach is stupid, sacrificing himself to benefit others, it does not save the country.
Zhou Yuanqi didn't want to continue the internal fighting and ended the battle for the heir as soon as possible.
"Your Highness."
Some courtiers saw this scene, but they couldn't accept it. There were many people who acted according to the wind, but there were also many people who were loyal.
For a moment, the Hall of Supreme Harmony was in chaos, and noisy voices could be heard. The prince knelt down and said nothing. The saint gently knocked on the armrest of the golden chair, and the noisy noise disappeared. The saint calmly preached: "The prince has lost his virtue."
"Demoted to the king of Yue, I will leave the capital tomorrow and go to the fiefdom immediately."
The prince kowtowed and said, "I accept the order and thank you for your kindness."
After getting up, he turned around and walked towards the outside of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. King Chen stood up slowly and spoke in a deep voice: "Your Majesty."
"Among the princes now, only His Royal Highness the King of Jin is smart and eager to learn. The East Palace cannot be left without a master for a day."
"Please."
The sage said coldly: "I am tired. Let's wait until the King of Yue leaves before we can talk."
King Chen was interrupted and did not continue speaking. Instead, he changed the topic and said: "The King of Yue committed a serious crime. Your Majesty took pity on the eldest son. This is human nature. You will avoid talking about it until the King of Yue leaves."
It is reasonable and reasonable to discuss.”
"But Your Majesty has been immoral and has been delayed for a long time in abdicating the throne. Please return the Imperial Seal first and have it sealed by the cabinet and set a date for his abdication. This will reassure the people of the world."
King Chen's words shocked the world, but they were not earth-shattering. While the prince was still alive, he naturally needed a saint. The saint should occupy his position and prevent the prince from ascending to the throne. But when the prince was defeated by a fight, then the saint would be useless.
Now, in the ears of many ministers, King Chen's words were just an attempt to gain support.
This kind of contribution is naturally not small. It can allow King Chen to secure his position as the leader of the six sects at a small price. It can be said to be a very cost-effective deal.
Many people have already regretted in their hearts, why they did not think of this matter, and were actually preempted by King Chen, and lost the biggest share of support. Although he was not the first advocate, he could be one of them.
Especially the King of Jin's party was very satisfied with what King Chen said.
One by one, the ministers took the initiative to come out of the sermon and said: "I second the proposal."
In the blink of an eye, I don’t know how many ministers supported me. Seeing this scene, the saint did not resist and directly said to Xu Changqing: "What do you say?"
Xu Changqing stood up and said: "Your Majesty has already delivered the imperial seal to the cabinet and stated the date of his abdication."
"Everyone has misunderstood His Majesty. Due to the frequent incidents of big scandals recently, the cabinet has not announced this matter. Today, I take this opportunity to announce to the world that Your Majesty will abdicate in seven days."
Immediately some ministers shouted: "Your Majesty is wise."
The resistance that was caused by Saint Qianyuan Blood Burning Pill for a while has now been reduced by half, and the Saint's reputation has recovered a lot. Seeing this, the Saint is very satisfied, and his eyes towards King Chen are softer.
The court meeting dispersed, and the Jin royal party was satisfied. The saint would abdicate in seven days, and the saint was also satisfied. He had taken the initiative to win back many people's hearts because of this incident, which had reduced the resistance to the subsequent regent.
King Chen, who walked out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, was also relatively satisfied. The Imperial Seal, a sacred weapon of imperial law, has now been sealed by the cabinet. The ministers of the cabinet jointly set a seal, and each of them set a seal separately.
.
The unique seals laid out one after another can be said to be impregnable. If you want to unseal the national jade seal, all the ministers in the cabinet must be present. After they work together, each of them can unlock their own unique seal.
After King Chen left the imperial city, he did not go to the six gates, but returned to the mansion in a rare event.
Since becoming the leader of the Six Gates, King Chen has taken charge of the Six Gates, sitting among the Six Gates, suppressing lawbreakers, and preventing thugs from attacking the Six Gates. He usually only returns to the mansion a few times a month.
King Chen pushed open the door and walked into the front hall.
The most conspicuous thing in the hall is the knife rest, with a long knife standing horizontally on it.
The long sword has a peculiar shape. When viewed from the scabbard, it looks like a straight line, giving people the impression that it looks like a sword but not a sword, and looks like a knife but not a knife. However, upon closer inspection, you can get the impression that it is a knife.
King Chen stood next to the knife stand and looked at the long knife with complex expressions in his eyes. Finally, determination appeared in his eyes. He slowly reached out to grab the handle of the knife and pulled out the long knife.
After the long sword was unsheathed, a flash of white light flashed.
This is a snow-white long knife, but there are gaps on the blade, and many places have been broken. It looks like it is a half-used long knife, and it is no longer sharp.
This is something that King Chen got when he went out not long ago. It looks like an ordinary sword, but in fact it is a famous sword that is famous all over the world.
It's just that it hasn't started yet, and the magic thing has disappeared.
No one can recognize this thing except certain people.
Even though King Chen was upright and placed in the hall, he was still safe and without any incident.
The plan was carried out step by step without any mistakes. Even if King Chen hoped that something would happen, there would be no change in the end.
King Chen sighed quietly.
Unknowingly, I had reached this point. At first, I just wanted to express my unwillingness.
But it was actually born and obtained by me.
Step by step, I embarked on the road of no return.
The prince will leave the capital tomorrow.
Saints must send each other off.
You can use the blood of the saint to sharpen the Seven Killing Emperor's Hate Sword.
