A group of guards walked around the carriage, escorting the carriage to the entrance of the palace.
At this time, many officials were coming in and out at the entrance of the palace.
When they saw the carriage, the officials quickly saluted, as if they all knew who was in the carriage?
"parking!"
Suddenly, a man's voice came from the carriage.
The carriage stopped suddenly, and then a thin middle-aged man stepped out of the carriage.
"I have met His Highness Prince Yu."
All the officials quickly greeted him in unison.
It turns out that this emaciated man was King Yu who used the sword madness to assassinate Zhou Yuniang.
King Yu ignored anyone and walked straight through the officials and walked up to Zhao Mu: "Greetings, sir."
The officials were very surprised.
Who is this person, who can actually make the dignified king be so respectful?
Zhao Mu turned around and asked, "Do you know me?"
"We know him. A few years ago, Xiao Wang was recruited by the queen to give lectures in the palace. He once met Mr. Chu Ying from a distance. His demeanor was heart-breaking and will never be forgotten."
"Haha, Prince Yu is really good at talking. Why did you stop me?"
"Xiao Wang wants to apologize to sir."
King Yu raised his hands and bowed respectfully to Zhao Mu again: "Back then, the little king didn't know the heights of the world, and he actually tried to assassinate the queen with the help of a swordsman. It is really an unforgivable crime. Please punish me, sir."
Zhao Mu chuckled: "Why, are you afraid that I will settle the score later and kill you if I am in a bad mood?"
King Yu's body trembled and he smiled bitterly and said: "Sir, you are right. Xiao Wang has never been able to sleep peacefully in these years. I am afraid that when I wake up one day, you will be standing beside the bed, and my body and head have been separated.
Already."
"Especially a few years ago, I heard that sir, you once went out to the East China Sea and swept through the entire Wind and Rain Sword Sect with one sword. Even the sword idiot was defeated by you. Xiao Wang couldn't sleep even more."
"I wonder almost every day, sir, when will you take action against me? After all, even the Sword Maniac has come to your door, so how can you let me, the mastermind, go?"
Looking at King Yu's haggard face, Zhao Mu suddenly felt like he was frightening the children.
It seems that King Yu has been tortured a lot these years.
It's no wonder that anyone who offended the best master in the world would find it difficult to sleep peacefully.
He was always on tenterhooks, fearing that powerful enemies would come to his door. It was difficult for King Yu to persevere for so many years without being tortured and committed suicide.
I wonder if King Yu knew that Zhao Mu had actually never thought of killing him all these years, would he vomit blood due to his unfounded worries?
That's right, Zhao Mu never thought about killing King Yu, and if Zhou Yuniang hadn't mentioned it occasionally, he would have forgotten that there was such a person.
After all, King Yu is different from the powerful swordsman, so he really has no interest in getting his attention.
Even Zhou Yuniang had long since stopped paying attention to King Yu.
The reason why King Yu was kept and not killed was because Zhou Yuniang had other things to do and needed this person.
Zhao Mu glanced at King Yu: "When you enter the palace today, do you want to make a petition for the Queen to ascend the throne?"
"How do you know, sir?"
Prince Yu was stunned for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "Yes, the Queen is Sir's senior sister, so she will naturally tell Sir about this matter."
"That's right, Xiao Wang went to the palace today to deliver the memorial. After all, Xiao Wang is the most suitable person for this matter."
King Yu sighed.
The current situation in the imperial court is delicate.
Zhou Yuniang's ascension to the throne as emperor was unstoppable, and the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty were well aware of this.
But according to the rules, Zhou Yuniang cannot say this kind of thing herself, it must be reported to the ministers below.
After that, Zhou Yuniang had to reject the offer three times, and the courtiers had to come forward three times before the enthronement ceremony could actually begin.
This is politics. The rules may seem cumbersome, but they are etiquette left over from ancient times.
No one would violate this rule unless they are ignorant and ignorant.
And Zhou Yuniang is also willing to abide by the rules to show that her ascension to the throne is justified.
After all, the throne is already in the bag, so there is no need to be too impatient.
But who will break the delicate situation in the court and who will be the first to go to the table and ask Zhou Yuniang to proclaim himself emperor is worthy of scrutiny.
After all, as the first female emperor in the history of the Jin Dynasty, Zhou Yuniang essentially robbed the Sima family of the throne.
If the court officials were the first to list, where would that put the royal family? After all, they were the orthodox members of the Jin Dynasty?
So at this time, it made sense for Zhou Yuniang to keep Prince Yu alive and not kill him.
As one of the two most valued princes by Sima Tongsheng at that time, although Prince Yu failed to ascend the throne in the end, his status in the royal family still played a decisive role.
His identity is completely enough to be the first person on the list.
In addition, as the person in the royal family who took the lead in opposing Zhou Yuniang, he even planned to assassinate Zhou Yuniang.
If King Yu can be the first to go to court, he will recommend Zhou Yuniang to the throne.
Doesn't that tell the world that Zhou Yuniang is so benevolent and virtuous that even her enemies have surrendered?
Therefore, it is most appropriate for King Yu to do this.
Zhao Mu patted King Yu on the shoulder, feeling very sympathetic to this tool man.
A man who once almost became an emperor now actually wants to put his opponent, a woman, on the throne with his own hands.
I believe King Xin must be feeling quite depressed right now.
I don’t know how Zhou Yuniang used coercion and inducement in private to scare King Yu into being so obedient?
However, a tool person must have the consciousness of a tool person.
Since you lose in a political struggle, you must be prepared to stand at attention and be beaten, otherwise you will die without a burial place.
"Go ahead and hand in today's memorial. You will become a pioneer in creating a new era for the Jin Dynasty. From now on, you will leave your name in history and be immortal."
Forever...immortal?
Why does this sound wrong?
As for leaving a name in history?
King Yu felt that he would become a shame to the royal family.
After all, it was him who personally handed over his throne to an outsider, a woman.
When future generations of the Sima family mention today's events, they will probably step on his grave and then spit heavily on him.
Prince Yu's face was as dark as iron, and he cupped his hands and said, "According to your auspicious words, the young king will enter the palace first."
"Well, go ahead and have a nice trip."
Zhao Mu patted King Yu on the shoulder again.
King Yu no longer had the intention to deal with it, so he turned around and walked away angrily.
Zhao Mu chuckled: "After King Yu went to court, even if the balance of the court was broken, starting from tomorrow, the memorials submitted by the courtiers should be sent to the palace one after another."
"In this way, the time for Zhou Yuniang to ascend the throne will be truly mature."
"I didn't have the opportunity to witness Wu Zetian's ascension to the throne in my previous life, but now I can see what a grand occasion it is for the first female emperor of the Jin Dynasty to ascend the throne?"
Zhao Mu was looking forward to this, and then he walked towards the direction of Seeking Palace.
