Although the civil and military officials had been in an uproar many times, when Liu Mingzhi said these four shocking words of asking Li Ye to abdicate in favor of a more powerful person, the officials could not help but make another uproar.
In this era that pays attention to the king of heaven and earth, relatives and teachers, benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom and trust.
Liu Mingzhi was able to say the words "abdicated the throne in favor of talents" directly and without any ambiguity, which had a great impact on all officials.
King Bingjian is truly seeking power and usurping the throne, and there is no room for retreat.
Some elders of the three dynasties originally wanted to be like Xia Gongming and come out to criticize Mr. Liu, hoping that he would be able to find his way back from his lost ways and step back from the brink in time, so as not to become the person who will bear eternal infamy.
When he heard Liu Mingzhi say these four words to Li Ye, he couldn't help but retreat.
Not everyone is as loyal to the Li dynasty as Xia Gongming, even to the point of death, and not everyone is as upright and unafraid of death like Xia Gongming!
King Bingjian's tens of thousands of troops have surrounded the Qinzheng Palace. If you insist on going against him at this time, you will die in the court, and it will be worth being remembered for hundreds of generations in history.
But if King Bingjian is angry with his wife, children, and children because of himself and others, then...
Everyone has weaknesses.
There are many people in the court who are not afraid of death and dare to speak out and give advice.
But no one is alone. He or she has parents, wives, children, and children.
If you die, you will die, what will your family do?
Ruizong had already deposed Yi San and Zhu Jiu's torture many years ago, and the young master's punishment of consecutive sittings had also occurred.
But this time and that time.
The Great Dragon at this time was no longer what Emperor Ruizong had said.
King Bingjian resumes the torture of Yi Sanzhujiu, who can stop it? Who dares to stop it?
Li Ye came back to his senses, staggered back and sat on the dragon chair, looking at Liu Mingzhi bitterly.
"Retire...relinquish your position and give way to someone worthy of your honour?"
Liu Mingzhi nodded slightly with a calm expression and turned to look at Li Ye, who was sitting on the dragon throne: "If you don't want to see rivers of blood flowing in the palace, abdication is the best result.
Otherwise, this king has already been infamous for treason and usurping the throne, and naturally I am not afraid of being accused of regicide and seizing the throne again!
Your Majesty, what do you think?"
Li Ye felt his uncle's cold and stern gaze and couldn't help but shudder.
He really saw murderous intent in his uncle's eyes.
Although he didn't know where this feeling came from, Li Ye instinctively had the idea that if he didn't abdicate in favor of someone better, his uncle would really dare to kill him with a sword.
Silently turning his gaze to the Heavenly Sword that Liu Mingzhi slapped on the table, still smelling of blood, Li Ye fell silent.
Relinquish the throne and give way to the worthy.
Abdicate and give way!
Three years ago, third uncle Li Yunlong entered the palace with swords and weapons to force his father.
At the cost of the lives of the civil and military officials of the entire city, the emperor forced his father to abdicate in favor of someone more worthy.
Now my uncle is even worse.
The murderous intention is directed at his current emperor.
He behaved as domineeringly as ever, not caring about the records in the history books, and without hesitation sat on the dragon throne in front of his current emperor and the civil and military personnel of the dynasty.
Since he ascended the throne, he has been conscientiously governing the world, but he still followed in his father's footsteps.
God is really blind!
Liu Mingzhi looked at Li Ye who looked sad and lost in thought. He looked around at the many ministers in the palace who were glaring at him fiercely. He took out a blank scroll of Holy Inscriptions from the corner next to the dragon case and spread it out on the dragon case.
He picked up the ink pen and dipped it in ink a few times and handed it to Li Ye.
"How to write the edict of abdication? I don't need to leave it to you."
Li Ye trembled all over, raised his eyes and looked at the ink pen that Liu Mingzhi handed to him, but remained unmoved.
"Uncle, is this really necessary?"
Liu Mingzhi did not look at Li Ye's bitter eyes. He was afraid that he would be soft-hearted. He turned his head and looked at the square filled with his brothers outside the hall, and said a word without sadness or joy.
"Write!"
Li Ye listened to his uncle's words without any emotion and raised his hand tremblingly to take the ink pen that Liu Mingzhi held in mid-air.
Xia Gongming watched Li Ye take the ink pen, knelt down under the dragon platform with a plop, shook his head sadly, and shouted absently: "Your Majesty, you can't write!"
Li Ye subconsciously looked at Xia Gongming, and the movement he wanted to reach forward stopped again.
Xia Gongming looked angrily at Liu Mingzhi, who turned his eyes and stared at him sharply.
"Since King Bingjian doesn't care about his reputation in life or death and insists on rebelling and usurping the throne, why should he ask His Majesty to abdicate in favor of someone worthy of his throne? He can just rely on the power of swords and weapons to plunder.
Since King Bingjian dares to act boldly, there is no need to fear that my official history books will be fair and impartial."
"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible to write an imperial edict to abdicate in favor of a worthy person.
You are today's emperor, the descendant of the Li family and the son of the late emperor. How can you allow such an ambitious person like King Bingjian to seize the authority of the country in a legitimate and legitimate manner?
I can't write.
The old minister is here to remonstrate with all his might!"
Liu Mingzhi took a deep breath and stared coldly at Xia Gongming, who was shaking his head to persuade Li Ye.
“Mr.
"King Bingjian, as the saying goes, a good girl will not marry two husbands, a loyal minister will not serve two masters, and if I am an official who eats the emperor's salary, I should swear allegiance to your majesty to the death.
King Bingjian wants to gain legitimacy in front of me, it is just wishful thinking!"
"Haha... A good girl never marries two husbands, and a loyal minister never serves two masters. I have learned a lesson from this.
But today the two masters, you Xia Yushi, are settled!
Your Majesty, keep writing, the lives of everyone in the palace are tied to you.
You have to think about it!"
Li Ye subconsciously looked at the heavy-looking and helpless officials under the dragon stage. After hesitating for a long time, the pen in his hand slowly moved towards the blank imperial edict.
"Your Majesty, the old minister died to persuade me. Your Majesty is the orthodoxy of the world. How can you lose the prestige of the previous emperors?
I can’t write.”
After Xia Gongming finished speaking, he held the Chao Hut and shook his head quietly towards Liu Mingzhi.
"King side by side, I would rather die than harm my two masters.
The emperor humiliated the minister and died, and the old minister finally died to remonstrate to His Majesty, abide by the orthodoxy!"
As soon as he finished speaking, before anyone could react, Xia Gongming held the Chao Hut and hit his head against the dragon pillar on the side.
There was a muffled sound, and blood splashed on the dragon pillar, staining the simple and majestic dragon claws on it red.
"No...can't write..."
"Xia Yushi!"
"Mr. Xia!"
"Old Man Xia!"
"Old man!"
The officials' expressions changed with shock, and they hurriedly stood up and ran towards Xia Gongming, who was lying under the dragon pillar.
Liu Mingzhi also trembled, his eyes staring in astonishment at Xia Gongming who was lying under the dragon pillar not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
For more than ten years, he had heard this sentence from Xia Gongming so many times that his ears were almost numb.
Unexpectedly, it has finally come true.
Li Ye hurriedly placed the inkstone in his hand on the inkstone, looking at Xia Gongming who was surrounded by hundreds of officials with trembling lips.
"Old...Old love!"
Liu Mingzhi licked his dry lips and looked at Xia Gongming with complicated eyes.
More than ten years.
Looking around the world, I see only two people who are truly loyal and have loyalty written in their bones.
One is Long Duo, the old master of the Jin Kingdom who died to remonstrate, and the other is Xia Gongming who killed himself on the dragon pillar today.
Although this old man is a bit pedantic, he can indeed be called a righteous person!
