Facing Xu Jue’s question, Jing Yuan and Zhang Yi looked at each other. Although they were reluctant, they could only nod.
This is the first rule of mutual spraying in the Qingliu world. The truth is always the greatest.
Although black can sometimes be called white, black is black and can never truly become white.
Xu Jue firmly adhered to the edict. The successor was chosen by the emperor. Anyone who dared to deny it would be resisting the edict!
"Sir Xu, what do you mean..." Cao Nai's expression changed and he said, "The emperor has encountered something unexpected?"
Xu Jue hurriedly said: "The official has never said this, and Academician Cao should not spit on anyone!"
"Since there is no such thing..." Cao Nai said coldly, "What are your intentions in proposing that King Xi supervise the country?"
Xu Jue knew that whether he could soar into the sky depended on his performance today, so he didn't care about his dignity at the moment and just broke up with him.
"Now that the emperor has gone deep into the desert, there is no news, and no one makes the final decision on the major affairs of the court. That's why we propose that His Highness King Xi will temporarily supervise the country. When the emperor returns to Beijing, he will naturally hand over the power of supervising the country. What's wrong with this approach?
Correct? When the late Emperor was here, His Royal Highness Prince Xiang served as the governor of the country twice. Both times were temporary responsibilities when the throne in the court was empty. Why did it seem to be a treasonous act in the mouth of Lord Cao? Lord Cao
, you are so opposed to King Tao supervising the country, don’t you have any selfish motives?”
These words left Cao Nai speechless. People said that he was supervising the country, but he was not ascending the throne. Moreover, His Highness King Xiang did supervise the country twice. These are all facts. He wanted to refute, but he couldn't speak. p>
"Shi Shi Xu, don't talk nonsense. I am an upright official, dedicated to serving the public, and I consider myself worthy of heaven and earth!"
"Really?"
Xu Jue sneered and said: "The emperor has not returned yet, and the prince is still young. Could it be that Mr. Cao wants to take advantage of this opportunity to monopolize the power of the government?"
"Xu Jue, I will marry your mother!"
Cao Nai was so angry that he yelled and cursed. If someone hadn't stopped him, he would have rushed to beat them.
But Xu Jue's face was full of pride. Go ahead and scold him. The harder he scolds, the more it proves that his words are impeccable. The success of Conglong is right in front of him!
Seeing that Xu Jue had the upper hand, some of the ministers who were on the sidelines also began to come out to support King Tan in supervising the country.
Cao Nai was stopped by someone. He suddenly turned around and saw Yu Qian, and said, "Yu Qian, please say something!"
After hearing this, everyone looked at Yu Qian one after another. Because Yu Qian was specifically mentioned in the emperor's edict, what he said carried great weight.
I saw Yu Qian's face was haggard, with two big dark circles under his eyes.
He didn't sleep all night after returning home last night. After thinking about it all night, if he considered the overall situation, Prince Tao and Supervising the Kingdom seemed to be the best choice.
At this point, it is impossible for me to stay out of the matter.
"Informing the Queen Mother, I have proposed that before the Emperor returns to Beijing, King Tan will temporarily supervise the country!"
As soon as this statement came out, the officials were in an uproar.
Queen Mother Sun had a cold face and said nothing, but her body was trembling slightly.
Cao Nai also looked shocked, as if he didn't believe his ears.
Zhang Yi couldn't help but scolded: "Yu Qian, you two-faced and shameless person!"
In the face of countless accusations and abuses, Yu Qian said calmly: "The Queen Mother, colleagues, I would like to advise you that national affairs are of great importance!"
At this moment, the scene immediately reversed, and people kept coming forward to express their support for King Tan to supervise the country.
Xu Jue was secretly proud and said loudly: "Please also ask the Queen Mother to issue a decree and order His Highness King Tan to succeed to the throne of the country!"
"Okay, okay!"
Empress Dowager Sun looked stern, her whole body was shaking with anger, her hands and feet were cold.
"You all mean this, don't you?"
The ministers all lowered their heads and said nothing. The answer was obvious, that's what we meant.
"I disagree!"
At this time, an old and loud voice came from outside the hall.
Queen Mother Sun was immediately overjoyed. She looked up and saw the British Duke Zhang Fu, wearing bright silver armor, standing at the door of the hall.
The ministers were in an uproar again, and the British Duke appeared, which meant that the army had returned and the situation on the scene changed again.
Xu Jue secretly thought that it was not good and hurriedly said: "British Lord, what do you want to do when you go to the palace with armor?"
"What do you want?"
Zhang Fu slowly walked forward, exuding an invisible murderous aura, and the ministers all set off on the road.
"I want to ask you, if the emperor hadn't fought bloody battles on the front line, would you still be alive standing here talking nonsense?"
Xu Jue said calmly: "The emperor has made great contributions in this battle. Of course we know it, but now the throne is empty. The prince...oh, no, the prince is young, and the country relies on the eldest king. Why can't King Tan supervise the country?
?Could it be that some people want to monopolize power, so..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Fu grabbed him by the collar.
"Believe it or not, I will chop you down right now!"
Seeing this, Ma Shun hurriedly stepped forward to stop him and persuaded him: "Your Majesty, we are discussing state affairs today. If you have anything to say, please speak it carefully and don't use violence!"
Zhang Fu's eyes flashed with cold light, and he said slowly: "Ma Shun, I haven't settled your matter with you yet. Wang Zhen has been beheaded by the emperor. Do you think you can still escape?"
Ma Shun's face turned pale. The reason why he ran to support King Yin was because he learned that Wang Zhen was beheaded on the front line and knew that he could not protect himself, so he took the risk.
At this point, he has no way out.
"Mr. British, please don't mess around. Today we are discussing the important matter of supervising the country. What does it have to do with Wang Zhen?"
At this time, Chen Yi, the censor of the right capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, couldn't help but said: "You used to rely on Wang Zhen's power to help the tyrants, but now at this time, don't you know how to repent?"
"Presumptuous!" Ma Shun immediately showed off the majesty of the commander of the Jinyi Guards and shouted loudly, "It is disrespectful for you to make noise in front of the palace..."
Chen Yi couldn't stand him for a long time. He grabbed Ma Shun's hair and shouted: "Now that the matter has come to this, you still dare to be so arrogant and domineering. Today I will eliminate harm for the people!"
While they were talking, the two of them started fighting in the main hall.
The ministers had been suffering from Wang Zhen for a long time. Seeing that Chen Yi was the first to bear the brunt, someone immediately stepped forward to help, and the scene became increasingly chaotic.
Zhang Fu grabbed Xu Jue, and the more he looked at him, the more he looked at him. Then he started directly, slapped him with four big mouths, and hit Xu Jue so hard that stars appeared in his eyes.
There was chaos in the main hall. Queen Mother Sun shook her head feebly and shouted: "That's enough!"
Seeing the Queen Mother getting angry, everyone stopped.
"You are all the pillars of the country. Now that the emperor is not here, are you still fulfilling your duties like this?"
Everyone fell silent, and the scene was surprisingly quiet.
At this time, a eunuch came in a hurry and kowtowed: "To the Queen Mother, Your Highness, King Tan, requests to come to the palace!"
Buzz!
The ministers were in an uproar again, King Tan is here!
The situation at the scene has become more delicate, and everyone is holding a wait-and-see attitude, waiting for the development of the situation.
Empress Dowager Sun's expression changed. Now that things have come to a point, she can't hide. So why not just see what King Tan is really worried about.
Fortunately, Zhang Fu rushed back in time, and at least the situation was under control.
"Xuan!"
Under the watchful eyes of all the ministers, King Zhu Qiyu of Ta'an entered the hall wearing a four-clawed python robe, kowtowed and saluted.
"Your Majesty Zhu Qiyu comes to see the Queen Mother!"
"No gifts!"
"Thank you, Queen Mother!"
Zhu Qizhen stood up and looked around.
Xu Jue, Ma Shun and others finally straightened up their chests as they finally found the backbone they had been waiting for.
Empress Dowager Sun suppressed the anger in her heart and asked: "I wonder why King Tan entered the palace in such a hurry?"
Under everyone's gaze, Zhu Qiyu said slowly: "I request the imperial court to mobilize a force of troops, led by me personally, and go deep into the desert to welcome the emperor back!"
Buzz!
All the officials present are going crazy. What's going on?
Xu Jue and others were also dumbfounded. King Yin came to the palace, but he didn’t come to oversee the throne!
Empress Dowager Sun looked stunned, thinking she had heard wrongly.
Zhang Fu also had a look of disbelief on his face. He was ready to fight with King Xi, but he didn't expect that the development of things was far beyond his expectation.
After waiting for a long time, no one paid attention, so Zhu Qiyu had to repeat: "The emperor has not returned yet, and I have been sighing all night long, requesting to lead the army to go out to welcome the emperor back!"
Queen Mother Sun's expression gradually softened. Although she was not Zhu Qiyu's biological mother, she had watched this child grow up before her own eyes, and was even her own son in name.
I thought brothers would fight for power and turn against each other, but I didn't expect...
In fact, the world is not all sinister, and the royal family can also have deep brotherly love.
"Do you know the responsibility you bear?"
Zhu Qiyu said resolutely: "I am a descendant of the Zhu family. If the emperor can go into battle to kill the enemy, so can I!"
Empress Dowager Sun sighed, shook her head and said: "The emperor's life or death is uncertain. If you make another mistake, how can the Ai family go to see the late emperor?"
"So what if I die in battle? Isn't there still my nephew Jianshen, Prince Xiang, and so many blood members of the Zhu family? I request to send troops to welcome the emperor back to the capital!"
Zhu Qiyu has made up his mind. He does not want to stay out of the matter anymore. He wants to prove to everyone that I am also a descendant of the Zhu family and I am also a bloody person!
In history, Zhu Qiyu relied on this bloody spirit to win the battle to defend the capital.
If it weren't for fate, the two brothers would never have turned against each other.
Empress Dowager Sun closed her eyes, thought for a long time, and finally said: "The Ai family announced that from today on, King Tan will supervise the country and oversee the government affairs!"
