The deputy commander of the Forbidden Army panicked, thinking that Li Muyi was settling the scores, so he knelt down.
"Your Highness, please spare your life! Your Highness, please spare your life!"
Seeing that he was kowtowing like a fool, Li Muyi changed the subject and said coldly, "Okay, my highness thinks that you must have been persecuted by the rebellious traitor Li Musen, the second prince!"
"My Highness will not argue with you about what happened today. If you dare to rebel again in the future, you will be killed without mercy!"
The deputy commander was overjoyed, and he kowtowed a few times, and immediately said, "Thank you, Your Highness, thank you so much! From now on, I will fight for Your Highness on the sword and into the sea of fire! I will do whatever it takes!"
Li Muyi's lips curled up, "You have to think more about me, Great Zhou. Come on, go down and let your subordinates disperse. Since Li Musen is dead, you will be the commander of the Forbidden Army from now on."
The deputy commander was stunned for a moment, then ecstatic!
Unexpectedly, Li Muyi not only refused to kill him, but also gave him a salary increase!
He immediately performed a military salute and said with great excitement, "Thank you, Your Highness!"
Many ministers had strange eyes, especially Mr. Liu, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and the Minister of the Ministry of War.
Such an important official position as the commander of the Forbidden Army can only be appointed by the emperor, and must be approved by their Ministry of Personnel and Ministry of War.
He, Li Muyi, actually promised to go out just like that with his words. Could this be to win people's hearts?
Master Liu and others were naturally relieved. Li Muyi did not deal with the deputy commander of the Forbidden Army, so it seemed that they themselves could also escape the disaster!
The commander of the imperial army left, and Li Muyi looked at everyone again, "Well, my lords, there is only one last thing left."
Everyone cheered up quickly.
Then Li Muyi said, "The late emperor is newly mourned. It stands to reason that the loss of your majesty should be the main concern at this moment, but as the saying goes, a country cannot be without a king for a day, otherwise the world will be in chaos."
Li Muyi looked at Cao Anguo, Minister of Rites, "I want to wait until the late emperor's body has been laid to rest for seven days."
After that, the fifth prince Li Muyuan can succeed to the throne, what do you think?"
The officials' hearts suddenly jumped and they all looked at Li Muyi.
Many people thought of the previous scene where Li Muyuan was so frightened by the second prince that he became incontinent.
Some officials with a straight temper could not help but frown.
As a man, you should have great ambitions, and you should also have the aura to remain calm even if the mountain collapses in front of you.
The fifth prince was so frightened that he almost knelt down and begged for mercy. Can such a person really become the emperor of Zhou and lead all the civil and military officials?
Thinking about this, they suddenly felt uncomfortable. One of them couldn't help but said, "His Fifth Highness has succeeded to the throne. Should we not consider this matter again?"
Li Muyi looked at him and said, "What does Zhao Yushi have to say?"
The imperial censor frowned and said, "Although His Highness the Fifth Prince is quite talented, his character seems to be a bit weak."
What he said was a little subtle, and everyone knew it.
Li Muyi looked at Gongsun Yunxiu again, "Gongsun, do you all have something to say?"
Gongsun Yunxiu looked at him coldly and said flatly, "No."
Li Muyi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and he looked troubled, "Gentlemen, the succession of the fifth prince to the throne is the last decree of the late emperor, and we should all abide by it."
He sighed and looked at Mr. Liu from the staff department. His eyes became extremely cold for a moment, as if he wanted to eat someone.
Mr. Liu was suddenly startled and trembled. Seeing his reaction, the people next to him were stunned and said, "What's wrong with you?"
"No...nothing..."
Master Liu quickly lowered his head, recalling the look in Li Muyi's eyes before, and he understood.
plum
Mu Yi didn't forget that they had gathered around Li Musen before, but he needed them to set an example now.
As the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Mr. Liu is the most important and highest-ranking person among those who follow Li Musen.
Li Muyi wants him to come out and express his stance!
It turns out that he didn’t have any thoughts about the throne!
Mr. Liu was thinking in his mind, and slowly raised his head to look at Li Muyi, who was looking to the left.
If he pretends to be dead now, then I'm afraid the eldest prince will have a fourth thing.
That's the crime for these Li Musen followers!
Thinking of this, Mr. Liu secretly took a deep breath and stood up directly, "Your Highness!"
Everyone was surprised by his reaction and looked at him one after another.
Li Muyi's eyes showed a look of satisfaction and he said, "Master Liu, what advice do you have?"
Mr. Liu said in a deep voice at this time, "The Fifth Highness, Li Muyuan, has a timid character. How can he inherit the throne? I have a candidate in mind, and he is my Great Zhou Sage!"
"You are so courageous. Your Highness, I will listen to who the so-called holy king you say is!" Li Muyi snorted coldly.
Mr. Liu knelt on his knees at this time and risked his life in order to survive. "Your Highness, the sage king mentioned by the official is you, the eldest prince! Only you are qualified to be the king of my great Zhou Dynasty, and only you have the ability to govern us well."
Great Zhou Jiangshan Sheji!"
He kowtowed to the ground and immediately changed his words. Mr. Liu said in a deep voice, "I sincerely request your Majesty to succeed to the throne!"
Everyone was stunned. Listening to Mr. Liu's words, they couldn't help but think of the time when he supported Li Musen just now. At that time, he also shouted like a wise king and holy master.
Is there a replacement all of a sudden?
And some of the officials who followed Li Musen, like Mr. Liu, also reacted at this moment.
Come.
Depend on!
The old thief was so shameless that he stood up so quickly, thinking of wiping out his previous actions.
Immediately they all stood up.
"Lord Liu is right! I have given you my advice and asked the eldest prince to succeed you!"
"Please ask the eldest prince to take over the throne!"
"Please ask the eldest prince to take over the throne!"
Each of these officials began to act out with great emotion. It took the other officials a long time to come back to their senses and look at Li Muyi.
Thinking about how Li Muyi was angry at Li Musen earlier, it seems that it is not impossible to let this guy be the emperor, but he is usually too cruel and has a bad reputation among the people.
Li Muyi stood up at this time, just when everyone thought he was going to get off the slope.
Li Muyi scolded, "That's enough. I have little talent and knowledge. Don't mention this matter again! You are all tired, so go back and rest first!"
After saying that, he left the side hall directly, leaving only the confused officials. Xiao Feiyu smiled slightly.
He was the only one who saw Li Muyi's triumphant smile when he left.
Late at night, in the harem.
Li Muyi came to a palace, and the woman who was taking care of her son was startled when she heard him coming.
He quickly stood up and walked out, "First Prince, why are you here?"
Li Muyi smiled strangely, "Come and see the fifth brother. He was quite frightened today."
The fifth prince's mother-in-law, Mrs. Zhang, had a sad look on her face, and the sadness in her eyebrows was endearing. She was only over thirty years old.
If you can enter the palace and become a concubine, you will naturally look very beautiful.
Looking at Mrs. Zhang, Li Muyi turned to the palace maid and eunuch behind him and said, "Okay, you all can go down. My Highness wants to talk to Concubine Rong about something."
