"You don't have to say that you are so noble. You can give poison, and naturally you can also give other drugs that are not life-threatening. But you chose to kill them all, which proves that you are vicious and murderous!
"
Zhang Tingyu's sharp words made Hongshi's veins jump despite being mentally prepared. After suppressing his anger, he said: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Zhang misunderstood the guilty minister so much, even if the guilty minister reluctantly stayed.
, it’s not interesting, please ask the emperor to allow the guilty minister to leave!”
Hongrong didn't want to stay with Hongshi at all, but he had to stay, otherwise Guarjia's life would be in danger. He said irritably: "Zhang Tingyu, are you the emperor or am I the emperor?"
Seeing that he was angry, Zhang Tingyu quickly knelt down and said: "I know that I am guilty, but everything I said is for the good of the Qing Dynasty. The emperor is young and will inevitably be deceived by traitors. Please be aware of everything!"
"So you're just bullying me when I'm young?" Hong Ruo sneered and said, "They say that a servant bullies his master. It's absolutely true. As soon as I came to the throne, you bullied me. You see
Is there still me as the emperor here?"
Zhang Tingyu felt extremely aggrieved, but had to lower his head and said: "I deserve to die for my excessive words, but I am absolutely loyal to the Emperor and there is absolutely no reason to disrespect the Emperor!"
Nala said: "Mr. Zhang, as far as the Ai family knows, Hongshi did make extraordinary contributions in this war. It is not an exaggeration to appoint him as regent. But you, you can be regarded as a veteran of the three dynasties.
Why are you so stubborn? Or is it that the reason why you are so opposed to the emperor appointing Hongshi as regent is because you have always been close to the fourth elder brother, and Hongshi and the fourth elder brother had some conflicts in the past? "
"Why did the Queen Mother say this, sir..." As soon as Zhang Tingyu said a few words, Nala interrupted him and said: "Previously, Mr. Zhang had many opinions on the proposal to make the emperor the emperor. Perhaps in Mr. Zhang's heart,
The fourth elder brother is worthy of sitting in the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart, but after the fourth elder brother went to Tsarist Russia, his life and death have been uncertain, and Ai Jia said that with his virtues, he is not worthy of being emperor at all."
Faced with her words, Zhang Tingyu said without hesitation: "Everything is one-sided by the Queen Mother, and no one knows whether it is true or false."
Nala narrowed her eyes slightly and said coldly: "Do you want to say that Aijia wronged Hongli?"
"I don't dare." As soon as Zhang Tingyu finished speaking, Nala snorted coldly: "I say I don't dare, but that's what I think in my heart. Zhang Tingyu, you are so brave!"
Zhang Tingyu stopped paying attention to her, kowtowed hard, and said in a painful voice: "Your Majesty, everything I said is for the sake of the Qing Dynasty. Please tell me clearly!"
"That's enough. I don't want to hear anymore. I have eyes and I can see for myself. I don't need Zhang Tingyu to see for me. Anyway, this matter is settled. Hongshi will be the regent. Before I take charge, he will be in charge of the court on my behalf."
Matters big and small.”
Under his harsh words, the previous officials did not dare to say anything more. Only Zhang Tingyu still knelt on the ground and repeatedly said: "No! Never!"
Nala lowered her face and said: "Zhang Tingyu, the Ai family respects you as a veteran of the three dynasties, and I won't argue with you. But if you continue to mess around like this, neither the emperor nor the Ai family will spare you lightly!"
Hongluo also said: "Zhang Tingyu, please retreat quickly!" He also wanted Zhang Tingyu to retreat quickly, but he was not like Nala and others who did not want to listen to Zhang Tingyu's words anymore, but he was afraid that if he continued, he would
It would lead to death. Although he was young, he had heard Yinzhen say that Zhang Tingyu was a loyal minister and capable official and did not want him to be harmed.
"Even if I die in this Yangxin Palace today, I still have to prevent the emperor from making a huge mistake!" Zhang Tingyu was determined not to let Hongshi take the position of regent, even if it cost his life. But what could he do?
I also don’t understand why Yunli is still silent at this time. Do you really want to watch Hongshi, a rebellious minister and traitor, take charge of the government?
"Zhang Tingyu, are you threatening the emperor?" Mrs. Liu also said from the side, "Do you know that this is a capital crime, and not only you, but also your family will be implicated by you."
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Tingyu, who had already regarded death as home, couldn't help but show hesitation. If he was alone, he would have nothing to fear, but he still had family members. If he caused them to die innocently, he... would be guilty of a grave crime.
But if he just retreats, Hongshi will take away the Qing Dynasty. He... what should he do?
Hongrong took the opportunity and said: "Zhang Tingyu, today is the day when I ascend the throne. I don't want to commit more crimes. You just stand down. I can pretend that nothing happened."
Zhang Tingyu knelt on the ground and couldn't help but sigh. After a long time, he took off the crown on his head and said: "I am getting older, and it is very difficult to read official documents. Please allow me to return to my hometown after serving as an official!"
"What are you..." Hongrong was about to persuade him to stay, but when he saw the look in the eyes of Nala's envoy, he had no choice but to change his words: "Since you said that, I have no reason to deny it. From tomorrow on, you don't have to go to court.
, back off!”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhang Tingyu responded with a sad heart, thinking that he had been loyal to the emperor and patriotic all his life, but in the end he was like this. It didn't matter that he became an official, but it was a pity that this great country fell into the hands of traitors. It was really hateful and helpless.
Just when Zhang Tingyu was about to leave, the sound of clapping suddenly rang out in Yangxin Hall. Following the sound, it turned out to be Yunli who had never spoken. Hongluo said in confusion: "Prince Guo, what do you mean?"
Yunli lowered his head slightly and said: "Your Majesty, the regent is so loyal and patriotic, and there is nothing wrong with applauding him." Although his words sounded nothing wrong, everyone still felt a little awkward. Before they could think clearly,
Yunli continued: "Your Majesty, can I say a few words to the regent?"
After Hongluo nodded, he turned his eyes and said: "The regent said that he has never been in love with power, but from the time you escaped from the clan's mansion to now, you have spent a full five years, just for today, isn't it?
From a sinner who could not find a place in the Qing Dynasty to become the regent of the current dynasty, I really admire him."
Hongshi's heart skipped a beat and he said, "Uncle Seventeen, what do you mean? If Uncle Seventeen feels that I am not worthy of being the regent, just say so, and I will leave."
Yunli chuckled and shook his head: "It's useless. No matter what I say, the emperor will definitely not agree and will do everything possible to retain you. But this is not because the emperor really believes in you, but because he has to do this.
.I once asked the palace servants, and they told me that Concubine Jin was taken to Kunning Palace years ago, and the palace people have not seen her for a long time."
Hearing this, Hongshi's face changed drastically. He didn't understand what Yunli was saying at this time. Nala said from the side: "The Ai family has been in the cold palace for four years and has suffered from loneliness. Since it is
Coming out of the cold palace, she naturally hopes to be more lively. Moreover, Concubine Jin has been crazy these years, living with me, and there are many people to take care of her. I really don’t understand what is wrong with this, and is it worthy of Prince Guo being the emperor?
I specifically said it in the ceremony when I ascended the throne."
