The atmosphere in the courtroom was no longer right, and everyone was feeling cold.
One stood at the corner of the Jinluan Hall, and the other stood at the front of the Jinluan Hall. The two people who would not have seen each other originally, but because of the ministers' initiative to give in, Chu Xia took a path.
Li Yong and Li Xiangyang's eyes met for the first time in the court hall.
Although one person's expression was indifferent and the other person's expression was stern, both of them had extremely firm eyes and neither of them gave in to each other.
This situation should have been foreseen long ago. After the prince's death, the second prince and the third prince became each other's only rivals, at least for the prince's position.
However, this situation occurred too early and was beyond the expectations of the ministers. They all thought that the prince had died not long ago, so a fight between the two would not break out immediately.
Who would have thought that less than a month had passed and the fiercest battle in the court was about to break out.
After Li Yong's words came out, no minister dared to answer them. After a moment of silence, only Li Xiangyang was qualified to speak: "My eldest brother's body is still cold. Is it too impatient for my third brother to propose re-establishing a crown prince so quickly?"
Li Yong took a few steps forward and reached the center of the court. He did not look at the curtain above, but just stared at Li Xiangyang: "Now that the situation is forcing it, the position of the prince must be decided early. If the decision has not been made before the Japanese princess arrives in Kyoto,
Wouldn’t it make the world laugh at you?”
Although Li Yong's proposal is bold, we have to admit that this is a problem that must be faced, and it is also an objective fact.
In order to maintain the dignity of the country, the position of the prince must be determined before the arrival of the Japanese princess!
"What Third Brother said is not unreasonable, but according to Third Brother's opinion, who should sit in the position of Prince now?"
The conversation between the second prince and the third prince can really scare people to death. They don't mince words at all. They say anything exciting. Who dares to say anything at this time?
When there was silence in the court hall, a loud shout made everyone jump.
"enough!"
Looking at the person yelling again, he turned out to be the Prime Minister not far ahead.
Everyone looked at Fu Yu. At some point, Fu Yu's expression became extremely gloomy.
Li Xiangyang was also a little confused and asked: "What makes the Prime Minister so angry?"
"You!" Fu Yu pointed at Li Xiangyang with one finger and Li Yong with the other, "And you! You two are playing too much!"
Li Yong frowned: "What do you mean, Prime Minister?"
"It doesn't matter if you fight for power and profit for your own sake. This is an inevitable thing in all dynasties. But no matter how you fight for power, you must have a degree! When the prince was alive, people often said that he was cruel and fatuous, but he always had a degree of conduct in his conduct.
He can always distinguish right from wrong before state affairs, so he personally went to support the Japanese pirates in Xuzhou when they were in trouble. This is one of the reasons why the old minister is loyal to the prince.
The veteran believes that the future king of Dahua should put national affairs first. But one of you two actually colluded with Japanese pirates for the sake of the position of prince, and colluded with other places for your own power. This is a crime of treason!"
"What?" Someone screamed and quickly rubbed his ears, thinking he heard wrongly, "Anyone among the second and third princes is colluding with Japanese pirates?"
I thought that the conversation between the second prince and the third prince was bold enough, but I didn't expect that the prime minister was the one who really dared to speak. It was simply unbelievable that he dared to say such words in the court.
The ministers now all regret coming to attend today's morning court. They don't want to hear such content. They probably won't be able to sleep well for days and nights after returning home from the court.
Li Xiangyang's pupils shrank, and he walked up to Fu Yu in a few steps, grabbed him by the collar, and said word by word: "Prime Minister, you can eat randomly, but you can't talk nonsense! Do you understand?!"
When the prince was there, Fu Yu showed his talents. Now he is being held by Li Xiangyang, but he is no longer afraid. He waits for his eyes and does not give in: "I believe all the adults present know about the assassination of the second prince earlier, right?"
Li Xiangyang frowned even more tightly and slowly moved away his hand.
Fu Yu straightened his clothes and continued: "The second prince was assassinated. It is said that the assassin was caught by the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Then the people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate handed the assassin to the second prince, and then there was no news. This matter will not be discussed for the time being.
But after this incident, there were rumors among the people in the capital that the person at this moment was a person from the Metropolitan Procuratorate. In order to clear up the relationship, the Metropolitan Procuratorate took the initiative to hand over the person. It was later proved that this person was not
He is not a member of the Metropolitan Procuratorate in Kyoto.
Although the current Metropolitan Procuratorate is not manned at the moment, there were once two Metropolitan Procuratorates in the capital. One was the Metropolitan Procuratorate established by the late emperor and has been established for a hundred years, and the other was a killer organization formed by the prince and also called itself the Metropolitan Procuratorate. That one was
The assassin is one of the members of the Metropolitan Procuratorate established by the prince. After the prince's death, the Metropolitan Procuratorate established by the prince has been disbanded, but why did this assassin want to assassinate the second prince?"
Ministers, you look at me and I look at you. For a moment, I don’t know what the Prime Minister meant.
Li Xiangyang sneered: "Oh? I would like to hear what the Prime Minister has to say? How can I get in touch with the fact that one of the princes colluded with the Japanese pirates?"
"Anyone with ears will know what is being discussed on the streets of the capital recently. It is that the prince's old men suspected that the prince's death was related to you, the second prince, so they were assassinated by the prince's old men. They wanted to take revenge on the prince!"
Li Xiangyang's eyes flickered slightly, but his expression did not move at all. He smiled and asked: "Even the Prime Minister said it was suspicion, and how can the rumors in the market be taken seriously? The Prime Minister will not believe these nonsense, will he?"
"Obviously I wouldn't believe such nonsense at first, but after reading this letter from the Japanese country, I have a lot of confusion in my heart."
Fu Yu looked angry, swung his sleeves and stopped talking to Li Xiangyang, and said loudly to the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty: "Dear ministers, the purpose of this letter from Japan is to force Dahua to establish the crown prince immediately. If they don't know Dahua's internal affairs very well, how can they do it?
Making such a decision? It was very strange for the Japanese pirates to retreat before. Seeing the death of the prince, it was when the morale of our army was at its weakest, but we chose to retreat at this juncture. Don't you think it is strange? From the perspective of the veteran, those
The real purpose of the Japanese pirates was to kill the prince. When the prince died, they completed their mission, so they chose to retreat.
Now that there is no crown prince in Dahua, the Japanese pirates immediately forced us to identify the prince. Is all this just a coincidence? This was clearly planned by someone behind the scenes! In addition, some rumors are now appearing in the capital, making the old ministers suspicious of the prince's death.
Who would be most beneficial to everyone present if the prince dies? The first is the second prince Li Xiangyang, and the second is the third prince Li Yong! One of you two must have colluded with the Japanese pirates!"
