Zhao Shu also reacted at this time, and he immediately shouted to Jia Ke: "Jia Ke, what are you going to do? Could it be that you want to assassinate the king?"
Jia Keli ignored Zhao Shu and just said to the emperor: "I am alone in the court today. Except for an old man, Meng Ming, no one speaks for me. But my loyalty can be seen from the sky, and the emperor can also see it."
.I am promised this life to the Supreme Emperor. Apart from the Supreme Emperor, no one can make me wait to die."
Jia Ke has now given up. Anyway, he knows that the emperor has been murdering him for more than a day or two. Even if he offends the emperor to death now, it will only make the emperor hate him a little more, but he can get the emperor's important use in a while.
After the Emperor took action, he could also take advantage of the opportunity to gain some benefits. Only by completely breaking with the emperor could the Emperor be confident and bold in using himself.
The emperor was now helpless, because the only people he could use were the warriors in front of the palace. If he wanted to mobilize the imperial army without the Supreme Emperor's order, he would not be able to mobilize a single soldier.
So the emperor could only swallow his anger and look at Jia Ke, and then he thought of a way to step down.
The emperor seemed very angry and spoke, "Zhao Aiqing, let him speak. I want to see what truth he can say."
After the emperor finished speaking, he waved to the warriors below, who quickly got up from the ground and bowed out of the hall.
Zhao Shu also hurriedly took the opportunity to return to the class. Only then did he realize how powerful Jia Ke was. It seemed that he had some ability to become the foreman of the military aircraft. He could not get it by just flattering the emperor. If so.
If he gets tough, even the emperor can't do anything to him. It seems that only the Supreme Emperor can surrender this fierce general.
Jia Ke saw that Zhao Shu had retreated, so he continued to kneel there and said to the emperor: "Long live Qi. When Long live ascended the throne, the Supreme Emperor made it clear that all matters concerning the army will be handled by the Supreme Emperor himself. Your Majesty
I have no right to mobilize any soldiers. Today, Your Majesty wants to rectify the Nine Borders and adjust the positions of the generals. I am afraid that it is against the will of the Supreme Emperor. I kindly ask the Emperor to withdraw the order and make a decision after informing the Supreme Emperor."
Jia Ke's words woke up all the civil and military officials in the dynasty. The Supreme Emperor made it clear when the Emperor ascended the throne that the Emperor could not mobilize a single soldier. What should the Emperor do now? It has obviously violated the Supreme Emperor's taboo. This needs to be known to the Supreme Emperor.
, not bad.
The emperor had mobilized almost all his power in the court for today's matter. How could Jia Ke give up this opportunity with such a light word.
When the emperor was about to reprimand Jia Ke, a young man stood up from the front class and came to the center of the hall. He knelt on the ground and clasped his fists and said to the emperor: "I, Shuirong, have a good foundation."
The emperor saw Shui Rong kneeling in the center of the hall and thought he wanted to support Jia Ke. After all, the previous generation of King Beijing had close ties with the Jia family and had great care for Jia Ke, and the King of Beijing and his family were the confidants of the Supreme Emperor.
He has always been in charge of the Imperial Guard for the Supreme Emperor, but now, King Beijing is young and has no military career, so the Supreme Emperor did not hand over the Imperial Guard to him. Therefore, he deliberately prevented him from speaking, but the identity of King Beijing is not trivial. He must not
He lost face on the spot.
So the emperor helplessly said to Shui Rong: "My dear, just tell me if you have anything to say."
King Shuirong of Beijing knelt down and said to the emperor: "I don't agree with Jia Ke. Back then, the emperor only refused to allow your majesty to mobilize soldiers. He did not say that he would not allow your majesty to replace generals and rectify the army."
After King Beijing said this, the emperor's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he thought to himself: This is the truth, why didn't he think of it before? As long as he doesn't mobilize the army and just replaces the generals, sooner or later he can slowly take back the military power. This
Isn’t it the same as today’s approach?
The emperor thought of this and glanced appreciatively at King Beijing who was kneeling on the ground. He thought to himself, no wonder King Beijing was able to continue the title from generation to generation until now. When the other three kings with different surnames have already removed their titles,
He is still a king. Sure enough, he has some skills. It seems that I will make more use of him in the future, so as to split the power of the Four Kings and Eight Dukes.
Jia Ke also didn't expect that King Shuirong of Beijing would dare to stand completely opposite to him in public, and even find loopholes in the Emperor's will to find reasons for the emperor to exercise military power. This King of Beijing is really smart.
It's a pity that this cleverness has not been used in a big way. They don't know how to judge the situation wisely and protect themselves. Do they really think that the Supreme Emperor is a vegetarian?
Although the Supreme Emperor is currently in the inner palace and rarely interferes with government affairs, he has the eyes and ears of the Supreme Emperor all over the world. If his words reach the ears of the Supreme Emperor today, I am afraid that he will be exposed in a few days.
On the surface, King Beijing's idea seemed good, but in fact it was just self-deception. Could it be that the Supreme Emperor was really old and confused? Seeing the Emperor start cleaning up his subordinates, I am afraid that before the Emperor took action, the Supreme Emperor couldn't help it.
At that time, it will no longer be a question of reprimanding the emperor, but probably deposing him. King Beijing is not giving advice to the emperor. He clearly wants the emperor's life.
The emperor was inexplicably excited after hearing what King Beijing said, and said to Jia Ke in high spirits: "Did you hear clearly what King Beijing just said? Do you want me to ask him to tell you again?"
Jia Ke's face was livid, as if he was speechless by King Beijing's reasons, but he still seemed to be trying to get back out of it.
Jia Ke seemed to have a gloomy face. He cupped his fists and raised his hands again, and continued to speak to the emperor: "I know that what King Beijing said is reasonable, but this reason is fallacy. Everyone in the world knows what the Supreme Emperor means, and King Beijing is just saying
It's just a matter of finding chapters and sentences in the Emperor's decree. Now the Emperor is being cared for in the harem. If there is anything unclear, everyone should report to the Emperor. A decree from the Emperor will explain why we should argue here."
How can the emperor get Jia Ke to go to the harem to present the memorial to the Supreme Emperor? This is not the time to start the memorial. He has to wait until the ministers in the court have reached a consensus. Then it will not be too late to go to Ningshou Palace to present the memorial to the Supreme Emperor.
So the emperor ignored Jia Ke and said directly to the ministers below: "Jia Ke's words are completely nonsense. Don't pay attention to it. Let's continue to talk about Lei Yingqizou."
After saying this, he said to King Beijing: "It is really commendable that I love you to be loyal to the king at such a young age. I will definitely reward you greatly in the future."
Wang Shuirong of Beijing had been waiting for the emperor's words for a long time. The reason why he dared to support the emperor in public was because he had reviewed the situation at home for a long time and finally decided to side with the emperor because he felt that the emperor's
The chance of winning is greater than that of the Supreme Emperor. After all, the Supreme Emperor is already old and will die one day. The emperor is still in his youth.
Another reason is that the tiger's poison will not eat its seeds, and the emperor's heart will naturally soften as he gets older. After all, he still cannot defeat the ruthless emperor.
Loyalty to the emperor now would be a timely help. If he sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight, although there would be no danger, there would be no gain in the end. That's why he made up his mind to move closer to the emperor today.
No one paid attention to Jia Ke as he knelt in the middle of the hall, and the emperor also wanted to punish him, so he did not let him get up. Jia Ke could only make a sad and angry expression, as if he was the only loyal minister in the court, and everyone else was
Just like a traitor.
At this moment, the old Hanlin Meng Ming suddenly stood up again. This time he knelt down to the emperor again and said loudly to the emperor: "Long live Qi, Mr. Jia is speaking from the bottom of his heart and is for the emperor's good."
Ah, King Beijing is the biggest treacherous minister in this dynasty. He wants to plunge the emperor into a place of eternal disaster. He asks the emperor to kill King Beijing immediately, and then go to the harem to apologize to the Supreme Emperor."
In fact, this old Meng Ming was also thinking about the emperor. According to old Meng Ming, the emperor and these ministers had been completely fascinated by the petty profits. They only wanted to gain more power, but they never thought that the emperor would fight back.
As long as the Supreme Emperor makes a move, all their illusions will be shattered, and the one who has the greatest impact is probably the Emperor. Therefore, he came out to advise, hoping that the Emperor will understand the current situation and stop confronting the Supreme Emperor, otherwise there will be no good results.
.
At this time, the emperor was so angry with the old man that he could not speak. His hand grasped the handle of the throne and began to tremble slightly, which showed the anger in his heart.
At this time Tian Ye, the censor of Zuodu, saw the emperor's anger. He was also a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. Thanks to the care of this old gentleman, naturally he could not watch him being executed by the emperor in the court. So he was no longer silent.
, he took a few steps forward, knelt down in the main hall, and said to the emperor: "Long live Qi Zun, Meng Ming is old and completely confused. Please allow him to beg for bones."
The emperor had long disliked the old man. Now that someone could come out to help him step down, he naturally had no objections. "Meng Ming is old and frail, and cannot be cured by the gods. Seeing as he is old, he is allowed to beg for his bones. Come here."
Send him down to rest."
Jia Ke saw that this old man was going to suffer. Although the old man had no contact with him, he had helped him several times in the hall today. No matter what the reason, he couldn't ignore it.
Jia Ke ignored others in the main hall and shouted loudly: "The emperor has a clear decree that the appointment and dismissal of officials of third rank and above must go through the Supreme Emperor. Now that the Supreme Emperor is still in the harem, how can you casually remove the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy?"
But no one paid attention to him at this time. Several big Han generals came in from outside, dragged the old man Meng Ming and walked out.
And the old man Meng Ming was not idle, "Your Majesty, please take a look. What these people are going to do to your empire, the whole hall is full of villains who only know how to flatter you."
The ministers looked at this old man, who was dragged out by the new emperor's order, and cried so hard that they couldn't help but feel pity. Most of them turned away and couldn't bear to look at each other. These people
Many of them had stayed in the Hanlin Academy before and had been treated well by Lao Menglin. Now when they saw his miserable state, they couldn't help crying secretly.
And some wily ministers are now beginning to waver. They used to think that the emperor was also a wise king. But now it seems that compared to the power of the Supreme Emperor, the current emperor only knows a strong one and does not know how to balance the forces in the court.
Just a child.
The emperor was still in the harem, but the emperor couldn't help it. Didn't he think about who gave him the throne? Didn't he think about it, couldn't he be deposed if he could be given the throne?
Seeing this scene, King Beijing felt a little panicked. If today's incident were to spread, he would not only break with all the nobles and nobles of the four princes and eight princes, but I am afraid that the common people in the world, as well as various bachelors of the Hanlin Academy, would also scold him.
He's just enjoying himself, but I'm afraid his reputation will be completely ruined from now on.
And many ministers who had been in the Imperial Academy would probably not dare to associate with him in the future, otherwise they would be said to be ungrateful by the Imperial Academy. Only now did he realize that the dangers of fighting in the court were not as simple as he thought at home.
