Chapter 1100 1100: Fetching water from a bamboo basket was in vain [asking for monthly votes]
What?
His Majesty Fifth Prince committed suicide last night?
This news made the courtiers present who had interests or blood relations with the Fifth Young Master turn pale, and something exploded in their minds. Fortunately, a colleague on one side helped him, otherwise he would have lost his temper: "May I ask, what happened last night? Your Majesty the Fifth Highness
I was ordered by the king to supervise the country, I was in the king's heart, and I had a reputation for being benevolent and virtuous. How could I make such a huge mistake?"
Even if everyone present knows what is going on, some questions still need to be put out in the open and asked clearly.
The Fifth Young Master led his troops to force the palace, but he was probably driven to the wall by the Zen edict, and had to take a desperate risk last night. The incident happened suddenly, and the Fifth Young Master did not even have time to mobilize all his forces. At least some of the Fifth Young Master's party present did not know about it.
Everyone is dead, it's too late to say anything now.
They have to find a way to remove themselves.
Find out who tricked the Fifth Young Master.
If the ministers observe carefully, they will find that the fourth child looks a little haggard and not as energetic as before. The fourth child seems to be embarrassed by this problem, and after a while he sighs and reveals the truth: "What the fifth brother did is really a family scandal..."
He, he not only led his troops to threaten the inner court last night, he also forced the youngest and his biological mother to death..."
This news is even more exciting!
Some courtiers were well-informed and knew that the youngest son was mentioned in the Zen imperial edict, but within a day, the youngest son was actually killed by the anxious Lao Wu. Mentioning this sad incident, Lao Si was so sad that the man's tears were like broken pearls, rustling.
Guanluo: "Everything depends on my brother. If you delay, otherwise, I will definitely save Yao'er. All ministers, I am useless..."
The fourth child's appearance resembled that of Mi's, not the rough and heroic appearance of a reckless man, but he was tall, and for such a big man, he shed tears and blamed himself in public. Even if it was for show, the onlookers couldn't bear to be moved.
The fourth child cried sincerely for a long time. His red eyes were purer than those of a rabbit. While he was crying and choking, he told the general story intermittently.
The youngest's body was found in a well.
When the person was fished out, there was not only the youngest, but also the wet nurse who was taking care of the youngest. This loyal woman was hit with several swords in the back and still protected the youngest. Finally, someone pierced her heart with a sword. The sharp sword pierced her heart.
It penetrated her heart and the youngest's neck.
In addition to the youngest, the melee last night also affected the palaces in the inner court near the outer court. The collapsed buildings took away hundreds of innocent people, most of whom were servants and maids. Two concubines were killed, and three years old were killed by beams in the side hall.
The younger siblings and the others were all slightly injured.
As for the identity of his concubines, he did not elaborate.
The fourth child cried very sadly.
That night, he lost five of his closest relatives.
No matter how hard Wu Xian lived, he could not keep up with the speed of death. One-tenth of his children were killed that night.
At this time, the actors arranged by Laosi started to show their support on the microphone.
The content is nothing more than a crusade against the Fifth Young Master who has lost his conscience, killed his concubine, exhausted his mother-in-law, and was unfilial and disloyal! This bitch should die well! If he doesn't die, the king will kill him if he finds out!
All the officials are old foxes, and no one said a word when they heard it!
Well, it's hard for them to say this.
Isn't this the tradition of the old Wu family to be unfilial and disloyal?
Like father, like son. If Lao Wu has done so many things, it can only be said that the son inherited his father's legacy. This son is like his father!
If they scolded Lao Wu, they also scolded Wu Xian in disguise.
Furthermore, is the culprit really Lao Wu?
None of them have experienced it personally. Who knows what happened in the inner court last night! Was it Lao Wu who did these things? Or was it done by someone else, making him take the blame? There was no news in the inner court! There may be something wrong with it.
Hidden story!
As an old fox, you will know something fishy when you smell it.
To find out who did something, don’t just look at the so-called personal and physical evidence, but also look at who benefited the most! Obviously, the biggest beneficiaries so far are Lao Si and Mi! What this mother and son said cannot be trusted!
Therefore, the ministers who had no interest in this matter chose to remain silent and quietly observe the progress of the situation.
The Fifth Young Master and his party obviously don’t believe what the Fourth Young Master said.
The minister said: "I'm afraid someone is framing me!"
When he said this, he looked at Lao Si with some meaning.
The fourth child had no guilt or shame about this, he was just angry! Angry at being framed: "What do you mean?"
The minister said seriously: "Fourth Young Master dares to say that he is innocent?"
The fourth child was so angry that he clenched his fists and tried his best to suppress his rage: "Brotherhood is so despicable in your opinion? Are you going to ruthlessly murder five younger siblings for the sake of the shaky family fortune? If you say you can, I will admit it.
So what about this basin of dirty water?"
The official was choked until his face turned blue and white.
"Fourth Young Master is acting so recklessly!"
"Aren't you just empty-mouthed and falsely accusing people of their innocence?" The fourth child looked around and saw that everyone's expressions had not improved much. He was heartbroken and pointed his sword to the sky, "I know what you are thinking. If you didn't bother to pay attention to it in the past, it's just now.
The country is in turmoil, and we urgently need the unity of the whole country! I swear by my cultivation - if I really kill any of my siblings with my own hands, I will be punished by heaven and earth!"
Lao Si deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the word "personally".
All the ministers were stunned.
The outside of the hall is as green as water.
The breeze blows on my face, nothing unusual.
The fourth child's oath has indeed dispelled many people's suspicions.
This court meeting was originally intended to confirm the new leader of the country, but the youngest designated by Wu Xian was killed by Lao Wu, and Lao Wu, who had the best family status, also died. Now we can only choose a new leader. The country cannot be without a king for a day!
They hope to settle it as soon as possible.
It's uncertain now. When the news of the palace change reaches Shen Tang's ears, who knows if this woman will take Wu Xian hostage and create a heir who is a few months old. There have been two palace changes this year, and Wu Xian has died seven times.
My child, I can’t stand the third time.
Shen Youli moved her mouth, while Gao Guo broke his head.
It will inevitably lead to long nights and many dreams, so it is better to decide as soon as possible.
The actors arranged by the fourth brother performed their duties conscientiously, and the suggestions they made were agreed by most of the ministers and ministers. The ministers who had no position recommended the suitable candidates in their minds, but the important ministers never left the scene, and the fourth child also joined in the fun and proposed one. Wu Xian is now an adult.
His son and his nearly adult son were all mentioned repeatedly, until someone recognized as a clear figure left the scene, stroking his beard.
He recommended Lao Si.
The fourth child was stunned: "This is impossible!"
Why not?
He came from a humble background, had no support from his mother's family, was young and energetic, and had low qualifications. If he were chosen, he would probably not be able to convince the public, let alone help Gao Guo become a better place. The Qingliu man expressed his sentiments: "Your Highness, the Fourth Highness, is too modest. If Gao Guo were to be chosen,
The end of destiny is also the current situation, and it is not your fault alone. Please do not refuse, Your Highness!"
After Qingliu said this, some people seemed to react.
They all responded and recommended the four young masters.
The ministers who had conflicts of interest with Lao Si rolled their eyes inwardly.
However, they can't find out each other's fault.
They even made the oath clear.
With God's endorsement, he is indeed innocent.
The fourth child naturally refused to give in easily and refused again and again.
According to the process, this matter has to be pushed back and forth three times before the fourth child sighs helplessly and agrees, in order to make it clear that this position is not for me, but forcibly given to me by you. I have to agree for the sake of Gao Guo.
Come down.
However, these are special times.
The process can take as little as three months and as long as half a year.
Where do they have so much time for formalization?
The people who are in trouble are all the actors that Lao Si has won over.
When other courtiers felt that it was too fast and the process could be compressed to two or three days, they moved out of Shen Tang. Two or three days would depend on whether the person named Shen was willing to give it! Maybe she could be arranged here in the capital.
What should I do if she turns around and interferes with her careful work? Is there anyone here who has the ability to ask her to cooperate?
Who can guarantee that the person named Shen will not stir up trouble?
Shen Tang’s flag is indeed very useful.
The high pressure she gave made this matter go smoothly.
In less than half an hour, the fourth child was put on the shelf! Faced with this situation, no matter how unwilling he was, he had no choice but to accept it. In order to show that he was not greedy for power, the fourth child repeatedly stated in front of everyone that he was only the temporary leader of the country.
!If he can welcome his father back, or if any brother is more talented than himself, he will definitely work non-stop and abdicate in favor of someone worthy of his throne without delaying for a moment!
Zhengyi Lingran's words won a lot of favor again. Regardless of whether he said human words or nonsense, they were definitely nice words!
"See my lord!"
The accident happened at this moment.
"No-"
Someone came hurriedly outside the hall holding something.
There were palace soldiers blocking the road, but when they saw what the man was holding high, they all put away their weapons and saluted. The ministers looked out and saw that the man was panting from running all the way. The fourth man saw his appearance clearly, and the ministers also recognized him.
His identity is that of a royal family member.
In terms of seniority, Wu Xian also wanted to call him uncle to give him face.
Some people also noticed what he was holding.
"What is this?"
The visitor said angrily: "Of course it's a Zen edict!"
Zen edict???
Another Zen edict???
The ministers and the fourth child reacted violently.
The content is surprisingly consistent——
How many Zen edicts are there?
What makes Lao Si even more frightened is that he has seen this edict. It is clearly the one that was burned by his husband not long ago, the edict giving the Zen position to Lao Wu! His heart is so turbulent, but there is no flaw on his face, and he goes forward with others.
Confirm authenticity.
The ministers and Wu Xian have known each other for so many years, so they naturally know each other's handwriting and aura. This edict on Zen status was definitely written by Wu Xian himself! According to this clan relative, if the edict is true, there is no reason for the Fifth Young Master to force the palace to harm him.
people!
The clan member angrily pointed at the fourth child: "Someone is confusing right and wrong!"
The fourth child who is the focus of everyone's attention: "..."
His facial nerves twisted and twitched a few times, his smile was stiff, and he asked unnaturally: "Master Clan, where did you come from?"
"Why are you pretending?" The clan member stepped forward and shouted angrily, "Do you really think you can hide your lies? Do you really think no one in the world can expose your disguise?"
The sight of the ministers made Lao Si feel on pins and needles.
He couldn't figure out why the destroyed edict had appeared again! Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and he thought of Mei Meng, and immediately rejected the guess. Mei Meng could not betray him, anyone's motive was
From the perspective of interests, betraying herself would be of no benefit to Mei Meng. To put it bluntly, if Mei Meng really betrayed herself, why would she push herself to this point?
With the same effort to help any brother, the benefits are far greater than helping him! If it’s not Mei Meng, then who is it?
After thinking about it, I thought of Wu Xian from Lao Wu.
Who stipulated that there should be only one copy of the edict?
Can't there be two copies of the edict to Lao Wu?
This is called double protection!
This speculation made Lao Si feel as disgusted as swallowing a fly.
The fourth child did not respond, and the clan member took another two steps closer. There were only ten steps left between the two. For anyone else, this distance would have made the fourth child feel insecure, but the clan clan member was in his seventies and eighties, with white beard and hair. He was an ordinary person.
!No matter how powerful you are, you can’t threaten yourself!
"If you don't believe it, you can send someone to investigate..."
The tail is cleaned.
If any clues are found, the worst is to break up the skin, and at most it will give you a bad reputation! With Wu Xianzhu in front of the old Wu family, no matter how much he does, he will be forgiven. So what if he is hammered to death? Anyway, the old man
Five is dead!
The fourth child is confident and appears to be open-minded to outsiders.
The clan member waved his hand and said: "No, there is a witness! This witness will definitely reveal your true colors as a rebellious official and traitor!"
The witness was not someone else, but the youngest biological mother.
The fourth child almost jumped up when he saw the other party.
Didn’t the youngest biological mother commit suicide by hanging from a beam?
Civil and military officials...
All civil and military officials are also confused now.
I didn't expect that the person who had committed suicide by hanging would appear again. The key was the victim, and her words were absolutely credible! The ministers all looked at the fourth child, and the actors paid by the fourth child did not dare to support him in the public outrage. The fourth child just played a trick.
Everyone!
Among the ministers there was also the youngest's biological mother's uncle.
After hearing the cry, he immediately became furious.
It's just that someone moves faster than him.
"Rebellious ministers and traitors, I will clean up the house for your father today!"
Seventy-eight percent of the clan members were able to draw their swords.
Despite his age, the old man reacted extremely quickly under extreme emotions, and his strikes were so neat that even the fourth child couldn't react in time. Perhaps it was because the sword appeared too suddenly, as his feet seemed to be rooted beneath his feet, and he watched helplessly as the sword blade struck him.
Zoom in before your eyes!
Ding!
At the critical moment, the fatal sword was missed.
Only then could the fourth child avoid it.
Look gratefully at the person who rescued you.
This man has a dignified appearance but no sense of presence. He is good-looking but mediocre. Everyone was surprised when he had such skill. He took out a familiar letter from his arms and scolded his clan members: "You are caught."
You old thief!"
Civil and military officials: "..."
They looked uncontrollably at the object in his hand.
Doesn't this thing look familiar?
Yeah, it does look familiar.
No matter the material or the private seal inside, it is exactly the same as the one taken out by the clan. The only difference is the name. The latest edict, the Zen throne is given to the fourth son of Wang! Not only that, the fourth son knows it from beginning to end!
If the Fifth Young Master has a Zen edict and is cleared of suspicion of palace rebellion, wouldn't the Fourth Young Master have even less reason to become a rebellious minister?
He has an edict, and his biological mother is still the head of the inner court.
Wu Xian's preference for him has been obvious to all over the years.
If you really want to achieve the Zen position, who has the greatest possibility? Needless to say?
"I was ordered by the king to set up a trap with His Highness the Fourth, and I'm just waiting for you, an old thief, to show off!" The ministers stared at the clan members, while the other civil and military officials looked at the fourth prince who was so secretive.
The fourth child was still confused at the moment.
If you are riding a tiger and it is difficult to get off, you have to deal with the so-called "setting up a trap".
He sighed: "Everything is as you see."

The consummation ceremony is equivalent to an "examination". You can start as soon as you feel you are almost ready. You have to go through all the necessary procedures. Unless you succeed or fail, you cannot stop during the process.
Mei Meng wants to push the fourth child up, and then expose him in public to meet the necessary conditions for "stealing the country with hooks", then kill him with his own hands, correct him, and finally complete the way of the scribe.
