Qian Wei's heart was clear and he knew that life and death were only a matter of words. In the blink of an eye, he thought about many, many things...
The emperor's kindness...the perverse behavior of his old age...the rumors of the prince's death...the rebellion of King Qi...the emperor's death...the bloody edict to pass the throne...
There are many doubts. It’s not that I don’t know, but that I can expose them?
Qian Wei held the object in his sleeve in silence, and this silence attracted more attention.
Zhao Xu kicked his foot, glared angrily, and opened his eyes like a tiger: "Mr. Qian! Don't be sleepy! Your Majesty is waiting for your reply!"
At this time, once the important ministers of the cabinet questioned, the world affairs suddenly turned into twists and turns. I don't know how many people were involved, and it was not just the life and death of Qianwei and his family.
Although Dazheng has been in power for thirty years, the remaining evil may not be completely eliminated. This is a major event in the world. Once the grandson is questioned, the kings will rise into chaos, and countless people will die in the world.
To put it bluntly, the emperor has become so powerful that his weight is no longer as important as the stability of the country.
well!
Qian Wei also understood that no matter how many doubts there were, the emperor was dead after all... The succession of the prince to the throne was the top priority right now!
If you insist on fighting forcefully, not only will it be useless, but it will also affect the country...
Sheji...Sheji...hey...
Thinking of Sheji, my heart became even more bitter. When I looked up, I saw that my grandson looked motionless and seemed to be watching with cold eyes.
"Deeply resemble the late emperor!" Qian Wei had actually met the second generation of emperors one after another, and he was no stranger to this look. This was the look of someone who was holding a sacred weapon, firmly sitting on the throne, and watching the performances of the ministers indifferently.
He looked determined and would not hesitate to kill.
"I... second the motion." Qian Wei finally let go of his hand and kowtowed, feeling a bitter yet sweet taste in his mouth that lingered for a long time.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the Queen's eyes softened a little.
"In this case, it will trouble all ministers!"
Next, Qian Wei became even more confused. He only knew how to do things, and he was completely out of character.
"Qianwei, you can't be confused anymore!"
Zhao Xu was directing the work, looking a little tired. He reminded him when he was free, but only the two of them heard it.
"The cabinet's words and actions determine the importance of the world. The most important thing is to be cautious and to be patient. How can we act on impulse? Abandon the country and ignore it?"
"If we don't change things, how can things be smooth in the future?"
"Prime Minister Zhao, it's too early for you to retreat now. Moreover, I hesitated just now and was afraid that I would no longer be able to worship the prime minister!" Qian Wei murmured with a clear mind, unable to explain what he felt.
"It's a blessing to be able to escape unscathed!"
"Well, since you know this, why just..."
"How can I forget the grace I received from Emperor Daxing in a blink of an eye, just for the sake of the country..." Qian Wei murmured, becoming more and more determined.
"Even if I suffer the calamity of swords and axes, I am asking for it myself. The only pity is that at the beginning of the prosperous age, there are still foreign conflicts that have not been settled, and I still have to work hard for the prime minister..."
"That's not the case. Grandson Renxiao is wise." Zhao Xu was stunned for a long time and said, "Don't worry."
The sound gradually became inaudible.
Under the arrangement of the cabinet, it didn't take long before many ceremonial guards were lined up and hundreds of officials were arranged in order. Those who could enter the palace were all of third rank or above, and the rest were all solemn and wearing white belts.
After passing his breath before, Gao Ze held out something and said: "There is a posthumous edict, please ask Prime Minister Zhao to read it."
"Yes!" Zhao Xu carefully took it with both hands, held it in his palms, showed it to the ministers, and then turned to the front: "Read the imperial edict of Xian Daxing, and all the ministers will kneel down to listen!"
"Long live!"
Zhao Xu unfolded the blood edict and read it slowly with no expression on his face.
"I worked long and hard, fell ill from overwork, and in my later years I encountered many rebellious sons who forced me into the womb... As a result, I became excessively sad and indignant. My old illness recurred, and I knew that my life was over. However, the country cannot be without a king for a day. My great-grandson is a valuable person and a talented person. It is magnificent and worthy of the country. I have always known it, so I ordered my grandson to ascend the throne immediately, kill the rebels, and restore peace."
"Long live, long live, long live!" The rest of the people immediately responded: "I will obey the late emperor's decree!"
"A country cannot live without a king for a day." Zhao Xu felt a stone fall in his heart when he saw the ministers obeying the imperial edict, and said: "Before the imperial body of the late emperor has been enthroned in Zi, I will ask the grandson to take over the throne and preside over all major affairs."
After that, he helped the grandson, who was crying and lying on the ground, changed his clothes and sat on the throne.
When the grandson sat down, a courtesy official shouted: "The ministers pay homage to the new king——"
The voice was loud and powerful and spread outside the hall.
Then, all the officials looked solemn and solemn, and they all knelt down and shouted in unison.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Amidst the shouts of "Long Live the Mountain", the people below once again prostrated themselves, and the officials outside the palace also knelt three times and kowtowed nine times at the same time.
Sitting high on the throne, listening to the shouts coming from his ears, Su Ziji lowered his eyes, feeling a mixture of sadness and joy in his heart.
"My lords, please make peace."
"Long live thanks!"
After bowing and thanking each other, the following is the first court meeting.
Cabinet Prime Minister Zhao Xu stood in the front row, his face turned pale, his heart full of sorrow, and his eyes filled with tears.
When Emperor Daxing was young, he participated in military and political affairs very early, so he was watched by Taizu.
After many twists and turns, Taizu made up his mind to abolish the elder and establish the younger one as the prince.
Why?
Taizu leveled most of the world, and he only reigned for 10 years. However, there were still frontiers that were not leveled, and there were years of floods, droughts, locusts, and winds, which continued one after another, and revolts occurred one after another.
Unless you have extraordinary talents, you cannot take over the world.
It can be said that if Taizu had lived for 10 more years and completely leveled the world, and the world had elected heirs instead of virtuous people, Emperor Daxing would not have had this opportunity.
But without if, Emperor Daxing would face internal and external troubles after he ascended the throne.
The year after he ascended the throne, there was an invasion from the frontier, armed with 100,000 soldiers and claiming to be 300,000 soldiers, which shocked the whole country.
The emperor works hard and sleeps day and night, seeking to eliminate evils and seek treatment. Appoint the virtuous and eliminate the evil, and plan the strategy.
It took three years to finally clear all the frontiers. At that time, the emperor was overjoyed and paid homage to his ancestors. He was very high-spirited for a while... Zhao Xu remembered it all.
In the next twenty years, he was very hands-on and known for his frugality. The palace expenses were reduced again and again, and finally peace was achieved.
Thinking back to the time when the emperor trusted me and he rose through the ranks until he became prime minister, and he lived up to his expectations and finally gained some strength... I believe that after a thousand years, he will always be listed as a good prime minister in history.
However, the world did not collapse, but there was civil strife in the royal family...
Forcing the emperor twice in one night and killing him, no matter how he whitewashes it, his reputation will be damaged in future generations.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xu felt sad.
Can the young new emperor really take on the responsibility of the country?
From a fundamental point of view, the cabinet initially favored adult princes...the King of Qi, the King of Shu, or even the King of Lu, so they hesitated when naming the grandson.
But the emperor insisted on naming the grandson, and the King of Qi colluded with the demons to rebel... and even the grandson
Great grandson, great grandson avenges his father... alas...
Thinking of the well-known "rumors", Zhao Xu felt bitter in his heart - it was all Qi!
We had heard some rumors before, but now that the clouds are cleared, the important ministers basically know that the emperor may indeed have killed his son to take away his life.
"But the prince was afraid that he really couldn't bear such a situation."
Maybe this is necessary for the sake of the country?
But the prince and grandson naturally had other thoughts and opinions, which led to today's disaster.
Who is to blame?
Perhaps, it was the emperor's fault that once was a blessing. Lin Lao became more and more self-absorbed and wanted to do it again, and finally caused such a drastic change, which was out of control.
In fact, as he gets older and encounters frequent changes, he often feels incompetent and wants to become an official.
But thinking about the friendship between Emperor Taizu and Emperor Daxing, I had to try hard to cheer up.
Fortunately, the new emperor grew up among the people, and he was quite talented and learned at a young age. Looking at his past resume, he is also remarkable... I hope he will not travel on business.
You should work hard and do your best.
Zhao Xu closed his eyes slightly and shed two old tears.
