The discussion in the Fengtian Hall lasted for an hour and a half. When the last ray of sunlight fell in the west, three cabinet ministers came to the Ancestral Temple in person and invited him back to the Fengtian Hall.
The first result of the discussion in the Fengtian Palace is that future discussions will be conducted under the general principles set by Zhao Ran. Zhao Ran looked at the seventeen people in the palace. Each of them looked solemn, and most of them seemed to have something on their faces.
A bit of a sacred feeling.
The second result was not beyond Zhao Ran's expectation: the prince was deposed and became King Jing, and Prince Jing's palace was enclosed as Jingyang Palace. King Jing was not allowed to leave the palace for the rest of his life. The only thing that Zhao Ran did not expect was the reason for deposing the prince.
It is extremely vague, and it does not say that he participated in the rebellion, but uses the rhetoric of character and virtue to explain the reasons for the abolition, such as "unruly and unruly", such as "violent and perverse" and so on.
The three cabinet bachelors stared at Zhao Ran without blinking. Zhao Ran didn't know why they didn't decide that King Jing was rebellious. He guessed that maybe they did it on purpose and just wanted to test whether they would be like him.
As I said before, I will not interfere with the outcome of the court deliberations.
Zhao Ran looked at Gu Tengjia, who nodded calmly and gently, then looked at Chen Hong, who seemed to have a look of dissatisfaction on his face, as if he was about to speak but hesitated.
Zhao Ran said: "Then please draft the edict according to the results of the court discussion."
The three pavilion elders and all the important officials in the palace breathed a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere in Fengtian Palace suddenly became lively.
The edict was quickly drawn up, and Chen Hong approved it on behalf of the Inner Court Ceremony Supervisor. He immediately called in the few people who were still waiting outside the palace to sign. These people are not as tough as Huo Tao and Gui E, or they are very messy.
I readily agreed.
Such edicts involving the crown prince should also be reviewed by the Zhenshi Hall, and must be stamped by Taoist representatives before they can be effective. In the past, it was always the representative Chen Shandao who signed the seal, but now the Zhenshi Hall cannot be contacted, Chen Shandao is not here, and everyone is paying attention.
Everyone was staring at Zhao Ran.
Even Gu Tengjia didn't dare to be the representative of the Taoist sect, and there was no one else in the palace, and there was no one else in the capital who could represent him. Looking left and right, Zhao Ran thought about it for a moment, and said to the officials: "Let me know this first.
The edict is for the edict, and will be submitted to the Zhenshi Hall for negotiation in the future." After saying that, he took the edict over, signed it, and at the same time stamped it with the seal of the Daolu Division handed over by Chen Hong.
He is the abbot of Xuantan Palace, the deputy seal of Daolu Division, the envoy of Junshan of Sanqing Pavilion, and a direct descendant of Zongsheng Pavilion. With such an identity, he should be able to represent the Taoist sect in today's Yingtian Mansion, right? What is lacking now is a true master.
However, at this time, the formation was isolated from the outside world. Zhao Ran didn't mind dealing with it at the right time. When he came to the True Master Hall, he wanted to see which True Master dared to risk the disdain of the world and openly plot to assassinate the abbot of the mansion.
The abandoned prince was cleared!
If you have no responsibility and no achievements, why are you bringing troops to the capital? After overthrowing the capital, killing the emperor, no, the king of Qi, what will happen if you sign an edict on the spot to depose the prince?
As for if any true master had any objections to what he was doing, he wouldn't mind spitting on him in the true master hall: When our Lou Guan sect was fighting bloody battles in the capital, where the hell were you! Where were you?
...where...where...
After the edict was completed, Chen Hong went out to the Fengtian Hall to announce the edict to all the officials, who all kowtowed and obeyed.
Zhao Ran continued to assign homework to everyone: "There is a vacancy for the crown prince. That's all in the past. Now we cannot delay it at any cost. Please continue the court discussion. Let's make it clear first that we are discussing about Prince Quan."
All the officials felt a little weird about the term "Prince Quan", but after thinking about it carefully, they started to sort it out, and they all looked at each other and smiled.
Zhao Ran came out of the Fengxian Palace for a walk again, and at the same time captured a few eunuchs and palace maids, and asked them to go to the Shangshan Superintendent to urge them to get some snacks and fruits for the officials to fill their bellies first.
With previous experience, this time the court meeting was relatively short. As soon as Superintendent Shang Shan brought the food, the meeting was over. The result was also very simple. His Royal Highness King Yu was elected to temporarily take charge of the East Palace and was established as "Quan Quan".
Prince".
Zhao Ran entered the hall and greeted the important ministers to eat snacks. The group also let go, grabbed the snacks and stuffed them into their mouths. Xia Yan held a meat bun in his left hand, and in his right hand, he held a meat bun that Yuan Wei, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, had just prepared.
I read the edict while eating, and handed it back after reading it: "You can add one sentence before 'Cheng Zhao Yan Qing'..."
Yuan Wei took the edict, swallowed a piece of rice cake in his mouth, and asked, "Does Xiang Xia have any words?"
Yan Song on the side took a sip of water and said: "I also think that I should add a sentence in that part. I made up a 'trust is the most important', okay?"
Xia Yan thought about it and nodded: "Okay."
Yuan Wei sincerely praised: "Xiang Yan is worthy of being a master of chapters and sentences, now it is coherent!"
It's another set of procedures, the cabinet vote is drawn up, Chen Hong approves, the six subjects are reviewed, and Zhao Ran signs off.
After the edict was written, Zhao Ran copied it in his arms and asked with a smile: "I want to go to Prince Yu's Mansion. Do you want to go with me?"
Feng Bangning stood outside the gate of Prince Yu's Mansion and did not receive visitors. In fact, there would be no visitors at this time. Those who are qualified to visit Prince Yu have now entered the palace. Those who are not qualified to enter the palace, of course, are
Not qualified to meet King Yu.
Feng Bangning has been waiting for news from the palace, waiting and waiting, and finally waited for the first message: His Majesty was killed by the King of Qi and has passed away!
After receiving the news, he ran into the palace gate in panic, passed through the front yard, and rushed to the main hall: "Your Highness, uncle, Your Majesty was killed by King Qi! King Qi is also dead!"
In the main hall, the guests of the palace and the chief stewards were all standing in two rows. They were talking with King Yu. When they suddenly heard the news, everyone was stunned.
Prince Yu tensed up, clutching the armrests of the yellow pear wood chair, and stared blankly at Feng Bangning. Feng Bao asked, "Where is Abbot Zhao?"
Feng Bangning said: "We are convening hundreds of officials to discuss His Majesty's posthumous affairs in the Fengtian Palace."
Feng Bao waved his hand: "Go and find out quickly."
Feng Bangning turned around and ran out. King Yu turned his head and looked at Feng Bao: "Daban, Zhao..."
Feng Bao interrupted him and advised: "Your Majesty, Long Yu Bintian, please take care of yourself and don't be too sad."
King Yu covered his face with his hands, and burst into tears with a sudden "Wow". All the guests quickly stood up and comforted King Yu to "take care of the dragon's body" and "don't hurt yourself". The stewards were in a hurry and sent the maids to deliver the food.
Purifying basin and silk handkerchief for King Yu to cleanse his face.
There was a lot of work in the palace, and Feng Bangning came outside the gate to continue waiting for news. Half an hour later, the palace servant who went to the palace to inquire sent back a second message. Feng Bangning returned to the main hall again to report: "Abbot Zhao wants to establish eight masters."
The sacrifice was made to the late emperor, and His Highness's name was listed on it. Huo Tao and Gui E objected, and Zhang Cong suggested that the court should discuss the crime of the prince. Abbot Zhao agreed with the court discussion and established five principles for court discussion."
Feng Bangning explained the Five Principles of Court Discussion again. He was smart, had a good memory, and paid close attention to matters in the court. Although he was paraphrasing it at this moment, he did not miss the original meaning.
Now King Yu was a little confused: "The result of the court meeting is the final result? What does Abbot Zhao mean?"
Feng Bao didn't say anything, and the guests also debated this for a long time. They generally believed that this was an emergency move by Abbot Zhao. After the new emperor ascended the throne, someone Zhu would naturally criticize it, and there would be no doubt about this.
After this article, everyone in the palace waited until dusk for new news. Feng Bangning panted and said: "The villain went to the palace in person and learned the news outside Chengtian Gate. Huo Tao and Gui E were taken to Zuoshun.
Outside the door, for the crime of roaring at the court and beating colleagues, each person will be punished with thirty canes."
When King Yu heard this, he waved his fist fiercely: "I am very happy!" The guests and stewards also praised him in unison, saying that Abbot Zhao was wise.
Then Feng Bangning said with a smile: "Your Highness, there is good news. As a result of the court meeting, the prince was deposed and imprisoned in the cold palace!"
