Chapter 696 It was at the next
Great Court Meeting,
in the main hall,
at this time,
there was silence.
Those who can stand under this golden tile are the smartest people in Dayan, and most of them have already calculated the answer.
After all,
at this juncture,
if the crow outside drops a feather as it flies by, you will subconsciously think about whether it is related to the heir apparent.
The range of answers has been circled for you here. There are only these two princes in the palace. Even if you take several answers and work backwards, you can quickly figure out which one is the real one.
Four words appeared in the minds of many ministers:
The prince has lost his virtue.
Putting it in other places, this is actually not a very serious crime.
It is true that the whole country mourns the death of the queen.
But most of the sorrow is limited to the families of officials. They need to pay special attention to it. As for the people, at most, their meanings should not be too excessive, and no one will care about you.
After the death of the queen, Emperor Yan had made a decree to shorten the period of filial piety as much as possible, so as not to affect the operation of the court, because there seemed to be another war in Jin and Chu.
Even if the official family is not clear-headed, they hire a theater troupe, take in concubines, or do other festive and lively things during the short few months of filial piety. Most of the time it would be fines, reprimands and demotions.
In terms of etiquette and law, the Yan people are relatively loose, not as strict as the Qianchu people.
But the problem is,
The queen is the biological mother of the prince,
and the prince is also the crown prince of a country!
When others are immoral, the most you can do is give them a scolding. Unless your superiors really want to get rid of you and you have a powerful enemy, they will use this excuse to do cruel things. In most cases, it will only hurt your muscles. Move your bones.
But the prince is different.
The ministers of Yan State do not have the moral obsessiveness of the ministers of Qian State, otherwise they would not allow the existence of King Jingnan.
And King Jingnan is different from the prince. Everyone has agreed that it is difficult for King Jingnan to die a good death, and judging from his behavior, it seems that he does not intend to die a good death.
The most important thing is that this military god is victorious in every battle and is of great use to the country. However, even Tian Wujing himself said at the beginning that if he wanted to rebel, those in the court would be willing to follow him. , and how many?
Nothing more than leading a group of Qiu Ba to completely smash the order of Dayan.
Because,
Yan people,
Want face!
During the period of great filial piety, a woman who is lucky enough to be pregnant is pregnant. If such an immoral person is really allowed to sit on the throne in the future, wouldn’t she feel uncomfortable in her heart when she kneels down to worship her?
If His Majesty only has a prince, then that’s it. For the sake of the country, everyone will recognize him by pinching his nose.
But Your Majesty has more than one son.
There is one who is as good as the prince, or even better than the prince.
Everyone is well aware of the battle for the right to inherit the throne, and the person who exposed this black material must be His Highness the Sixth Prince standing in the row on the left.
The big guy had to sigh in his heart,
His Sixth Prince’s move,
was really ruthless,
it could be called a fatal blow!
As for whether you think this method is too Machiavellian, in fact, most people don't think it's a big deal.
As long as the prince's immorality is proven,
this kind of major moral dirt is enough to make most courtiers not want to stand with him.
His methods are ruthless, so be ruthless. Anyway, everyone is used to doing things under the rule of Emperor Yan. It is nothing more than the emergence of another generation of Emperor Yan.
After all, you are used to it, right?
On the other hand, the backbone of the princelings are extremely anxious right now.
They have actually been thinking about it day and night for a long time these days, fixing loopholes everywhere, calculating where the Liuye Party will launch their offensive, and making their defense as impeccable as possible.
But who would have known that
in the end it was His Highness the Crown Prince who could not control his belt!
The members of the princelings also hate one thing more, which is a feeling of hating that iron cannot become steel.
Even if you can't control your waistband, even if you really get that woman pregnant,
how can you let that woman leave?
Why not do it cleaner and completely eradicate the hidden dangers?
The great cause is in front of us,
The Dragon Throne is in front of us,
How can you be so confused?
Because the prince is benevolent, so many officials choose to support the prince openly, not entirely for their own personal interests, but in their view, the great Yan has passed through Emperor Yan, the emperor of the ages. After all the hard work, it’s really time to rest and recuperate.
But now,
more than ever, they hope that the prince can be ruthless!
Just a woman,
It's just a child,
compared with this golden palace,
what is it?
Where will His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, be so benevolent as a woman, putting us, our determined followers?
Big guy, what’s pressing on you is not just your future, but maybe even your wealth and life!
As for those in the Liuye Party,
were shocked at first,
then shocked again,
and finally, right now,
ecstatic !
The backbones of the Liuye Party all know that something big is about to happen. This is obvious, and the wind has already blown.
But no one knows exactly how and where to hit.
But they only think that the main attack point is not their own, and before such an offensive is launched, it is like marching and forming, and it needs to be kept absolutely confidential.
For this reason, they didn't know, but they didn't panic. They just waited for the offensive to start and then join in.
But they really never expected it,
My sixth master actually used this killing move!
This killing move directly bypassed all the defenses of Donggong, making it impossible for Donggong to abandon his vehicle and protect his commander like before.
Like a sharp archer,
one arrow reaches the root of the Middle East Palace!
All Liuye Party ministers,
As well as those ministers who had not taken the initiative to side with Liu Ye's party before,
they couldn't help but applaud His Highness Six's masterstroke!
From a purely strategic perspective, it can be said to be a drain on the bottom of the pot!
But precisely because it was too high-end, too direct, and too effective,
the ministers of the Liuye Party who were originally prepared to cooperate with the battle today were unable to find a point where they could exert their efforts.
Look,
The expression on the prince's side has changed, and the prince has panicked. This must be a sign that his mind has been hit, and he cannot even maintain the most basic composure.
Look,
His Highness the Sixth Prince stood there like a pearl of wisdom, his eyes calm, it was obvious that he had the winning ticket.
But the problem is,
This matter involves the blood of the Tian family.
At this moment,
although everyone already knows something about it, they can't stand up to attack.
Because,
it depends on what Your Majesty wants.
Party strife. Since ancient times, which dynasty has not had party strife?
But no matter how hard you fight, everyone must still agree to a path and a limit.
Do you want Tianjia’s face?
This is a big scandal. Although the prince will be deposed as a result, this incident must not be used as a crime. Otherwise, how will history be written? How should future generations view the Ji family royal family in Dayan?
As soon as His Majesty returned to the palace, he appeared in court with such a scandal. It was so lethal that if he stood up to charge now, he would be shattered into pieces as well.
It's not terrible if he breaks himself, but it may involve His Highness the Sixth Prince.
For the sake of his position, he does not care about the face of the Tian family at all. How can a prince like this really sit in this position?
For this reason,
the princelings have nothing to say,
the Liu Ye party has a lot to say but dare not say anything,
The hall fell into an eerie silence for a moment.
However, everyone knows that this silence will not last long, because things will continue to develop.
What everyone is waiting for now is its development.
Let’s see what Emperor Yan means.
Will he cover up this scandal with a wave of his hand?
Let’s look at what Da Zong Zhengji Changwang means,
Will he continue to speak firmly, quench the poison on this arrow, and completely identify the prince!
Although officials like to say: How can you block the mouth of the world?
But in fact,
the owner of the mouth is afraid of death.
Once Emperor Yan put pressure on him,
Da Zong could not resist the pressure, so he changed his words and said:
“Oh, it has been found out that this is the residence of His Highness, His Highness the Fourth or His Highness the Fifth. The blood outside.”
Then Emperor Yan slapped these princes, and that was it.
After all, although the queen is the legitimate mother of all the princes, she is not the biological mother after all. Even if it is ridiculous, it can be accepted, history books can accept it, and everyone can accept it.
Anyway, it’s clear who it is and who did it, and the damage done to the prince has been revealed.
Dazong Zhengye’s surname is Ji after all, and he is the patriarch of the Ji family. It is unlikely that he will completely peel off the face of the Ji family in this golden palace in public.
Why bother?
"Oh, Da Zongzheng can speak frankly, which prince dared to commit such a bastard thing?"
Emperor Yan spoke.
Bastard, bastard.
It means that His Majesty is already angry.
When the elderly at home are angry, you have to coax him according to his wishes and let him calm down. Even if you lie to him, it is still a part of filial piety. kind of performance.
If Mr. Jun is angry, then it will be more natural for him to step down.
Everyone understands that His Majesty has reached out, meaning that he wants to hide this situation and this matter in a corner.
Party struggle
is something to fight for.
His Majesty's attitude has always been very clear, otherwise His Highness would not be given the opportunity to cause trouble. His Majesty did not know where he was relegated back then, but it was His Majesty's decree that brought him back. Take charge of the household department.
Since then, it has been out of control, and the Liu Ye Party has continued to grow and develop, overwhelming the East Palace.
But it is still His Majesty’s decree, which can completely knock His Highness Sixth into the dust again.
But His Majesty did not. You can say that it was for the sake of war and money and food that you did this. But now that the war is over and for the sake of the country, Your Majesty should not hesitate.
So, this should be to balance, to balance the struggle between the princes, and possibly to balance the devolution of imperial power.
Everyone has experienced high and low officialdom, and they all understand that this is a party struggle situation that His Majesty has acquiesced to.
Your Majesty does not want you to be harmonious, and does not want your ministers to be as close as one family,
For example,
If one day His Highness the Sixth Prince suddenly went to the East Palace and swore allegiance to the Crown Prince, this would probably be the last thing His Majesty would allow.
Now that His Majesty has approved this move, the next step is to control the impact.
However,
Under such an obvious hint,
Da Zongzhengji Changwang knelt down,
He said in a deep voice:
“I dare not say it!”
In an instant,
there were many gasps in the hall.
Of course, it is impossible to really make any loud noise. This means that many ministers tilted their necks back slightly, with looks of horror on their faces.
Even Mr. Zheng, who was standing in the widest section,
was stunned for a moment.
Huh?
Are you going to be tough?
At this time, shouldn’t we just give it up?
If you go down hard, you will be smashed into pieces together with yourself!
Ji Laoliu was standing opposite Zheng Fan.
At this moment,
he suddenly felt that Ji Laoliu was a little strange.
Is it difficult?
It was Ji Chengjue, who had always liked to keep growing like himself. He knew that this was the last battle, so he directly chose to fight... life or death?
Ji Laoliu noticed the gaze of Lord Zheng standing opposite,
It’s just that
it was like Zheng Houye who was standing opposite the city gate a few days ago. Fan treated him like that,
Ji Laoliu's eyes happened to move to the other side, avoiding him perfectly.
The atmosphere in the hall is also gradually fermenting, a silent fermentation.
If you want to attack political opponents, you have to move and attack. This is what you should do;
But instead of sheathing your sword when the wind blows, you just go out and retreat to advance. This is Do you want to block all escape routes and room for maneuver?
Da Zongzheng’s move has been completed, and his effect has been reflected.
Next,
The choice he should make is:
"After investigation, this belongs to a certain prince."
Then,
No matter whether it is the boss or the fourth and fifth, They will all be dragged out and beaten up, and they will be blamed for this inexplicable thing.
This matter is settled like this.
The ministers' hearts are like a mirror, and His Majesty's heart is like a mirror. Next, how to punish the prince and to what extent depends on the real struggle between the two parties.
For example, the Liuye Party will use snowflakes to lash out at the prince for his mistakes in supervising the country. If you want to find faults, there may be some faults. After all, how can you govern such a large country? Is it possible to be flawless?
Even if the prince is right, will the people in the East Palace be right? Are princelings right?
Impossible.
These mistakes were just scratching the surface in the past, but then they turned out to be a drunkard's intention and not about drinking. Anyway, they were just criticism and beating.
What he was criticizing was other things, but his purpose was to follow the wound of "the prince's lack of morality" and tear it apart crazily. In the end, he would pull the prince down and change his position in the East Palace!
This is the correct operation, this is the political game.
And Ji Changwang said:
"I dare not say it."
It means that he does not want to give this pot to others.
He wants to tell it.
He wants to tell the truth that he has investigated.
If you dare to say this, the evidence must be extremely detailed. The identity of the woman, and even the identity of the young girl, must also be ironclad evidence!
Dazongzheng,
This is to go to court,
Directly see blood!
Many officials from the Liu Ye Party wanted to rush out at this time, cover Da Zongzheng's mouth, and press his head to force him to change his words.
Teammates,
Comrades,
You have done enough and you are good enough. If you keep doing it, you will pass, you will pass!
The prince's face
showed a look of desolation.
His body did not stand still.
He actually pushed back two steps so that he could reach out his hand. He held on to the railing to steady himself.
His eyes fell on Da Zongzheng, and then on his sixth brother, who was standing among the ministers, feeling a little desperate.
Because the prince's position is on a platform that is below one person and above ten thousand people, his every move must be visible to the officials standing below.
Those who can hang out in the court are all human beings, and they are bound to be observant. The prince's expression is not only shocked, but also heartbroken at being betrayed by the person closest to him. .
Yes,
The person who could come into contact with the prince during that period, and for that kind of thing to happen, must be a woman who is very close and trustworthy around him.
After that incident, he was not forced to take Bizi Decoction, and was not even directly killed. To eliminate this hidden danger, he must be really reluctant to give up.
Even though he knew that once this incident came out, he would be broken into pieces, he still didn't do it. Obviously, that woman had an absolutely extraordinary position in the prince's heart!
But,
Prince, you are confused.
Emperor Yan's eyes slowly swept down.
He was sitting on the dragon chair in the Golden Palace, the highest position. Everything below him was naturally in his eyes, and he was closest to him. , the prince standing on the platform below, his performance can naturally be seen more clearly.
Finally,
Yanhuang said:
“Say it loudly, I forgive you!”
Didn’t stop the court,
No It is a private matter of the Tian family to forcefully interrupt this matter.
Although it is a bit deceptive, Your Majesty has this authority.
But,
he is a proud emperor after all,
he is more accustomed to facing things head-on than avoiding them, even in this matter.
Master Zheng pursed his lips,
He was paying attention to the atmosphere at this time, and at the same time, he was also thinking about the next development.
Ji Laoliu said to him, let's see how he defeats his brothers.
Well,
Zheng Houye has seen it,
It is indeed wonderful,
It's so wonderful that it's amazing.
But he had to consider one thing, that is, with such direct force, in order to defeat the East Palace as much as possible and completely anger Emperor Yan, would Ji Laoliu have any Good fruit to eat?
Can a prince who does not understand the overall situation be recognized by Emperor Yan and hand over power to him at this time?
The more Mr. Zheng thought about it, the more he felt a little confused,
The Emperor Yan was proud,
Proud people often do things that are not in line with common sense, or to be precise, things that are not in line with their interests.
You, Ji Chengjue, dare to lose the face of the Tian family like this. How can you still have the attitude and consciousness of being the head of a family?
In this case,
I will just change a son to inherit the family business.
Is it possible that you are sure that the prince has fallen and I have to be you?
Marquis Zheng bit his lip, feeling a little worried in his heart, but at the same time he understood, because Su Ri'an didn't know why Emperor Yan was so energetic today, but he saw Emperor Yan taking drugs with his own eyes yesterday, so something must have gone wrong. There is a demon, so Ji Laoliu thought that Emperor Yan's life was not long, so he wanted to get rid of it once and for all to avoid the nightmare?
It’s right to think about it this way.
Even if you want to take it easy and plan for the long term, you have to see whether I can give you this time. Otherwise, as long as the prince is criticized again when Emperor Yan dies, as long as he is not deposed as the prince by an explicit decree,
Then,
he can still ascend to the throne naturally!
Ji Laoliu may not dare to wait or gamble.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Ji Changwang thanked him first,
Then his eyes
looked at the lost prince standing on the platform,< br>
He opened his mouth and said:
"I have found out the identity of the woman and the whole story. As the head of the Ji family, it is my responsibility. Today, I have to point out that the person who committed this unethical act is..."
At this time,
Ji Chengjue, who had been standing among the ministers,
walked out of the queue,
He knelt down,
forcibly interrupted Da Zongzheng's words,
pressed his forehead against the floor tiles of the Golden Palace,
said loudly:
"Zheng It’s your son!”

I write relatively slowly, because I have to think and consider a lot, and I want to write a more interesting plot, so I will not be able to write quickly.
I hope everyone will be more patient and expect more. We will try our best not to work too slowly but still be able to catch up on the fine work.
Then the monthly vote list that was originally ranked sixth was bumped up to seventh place. Please support me with monthly votes. Hug everyone! (End of this chapter)
