The Eighth Prince couldn't wait to stand up: "Brother, I have a script to start this memorial."
The old emperor looked pleasantly: "What's the matter, brother?"
The Eight Kings said: "What I am concerned about is Princess Yunyue's marriage to the Turkic Zuoxian King Moss..."
The old emperor was originally in an excited mood, but after hearing the Eight Kings' words, he immediately became impatient: "We will discuss this matter later."
How could the Eighth Prince let go of this opportunity? He argued with reason: "There is no time to delay in marrying Princess Yunyue. We should make a decision quickly. We must not continue to break promises like this."
"The emperor is the most respected person in the country. He should keep his words and fulfill his promises. If the emperor sets an example of dishonesty, how will the talented people in the world feel embarrassed? Since the emperor speaks disrespectfully and does not keep his word, then why should the talented people in the world keep their promises and know the general principles? ? Could it be that what all the talented people in the world have learned is wrong? Is it possible that the emperor who does not keep his word is the right one? "
"you……"
The old emperor's excitement suddenly sank to the bottom.
Princess Yunyue is a forbidden area deep in his heart that he dare not touch.
Not to mention touching it, even mentioning it will feel very painful.
The old emperor was forced into a blind corner by the Eight Kings, and even if he tried to avoid it, he couldn't.
The old emperor locked eyes with the Eighth Prince: "Old Eighth, what do you want?"
The Eight Kings knelt in front of the old emperor: "Brother, please forgive me. I just want to maintain the principles of great beauty. The emperor is the son of God. He should set an example, instead of breaking his promise and pushing back and forth. Your Majesty, what I said , which is also the voice of all my ministers.”
Yang Ke, the old dog, hurriedly ran out: "Your Majesty, what the Eight Kings said is a profound understanding of righteousness and a role model for students. I agree with you."
Tang Hanxiao also jumped out: "I second my opinion."
Zhang Yongwu also stood up: "Although I am a military general, not a civil servant, I also understand the basic principle of keeping promises. If a man does not keep his promises, how can he be loyal to the emperor? If the soldiers do not keep their promises, how can they fight? Your Majesty, for the sake of the overall situation, you must Think twice.”
A bunch of boys huffed and knelt down.
"Your Majesty, please think twice."
"I second the proposal."
"The Emperor's clear warning."
…
"you……"
The old emperor's heart was pounding.
The good mood completely flew away.
He has no way out.
Because he really doesn't make sense.
The old emperor looked at Yan Qi with pleading eyes.
For the current plan, only Yan Qi
Can be relied on.
"What do you think of Yan Aiqing?"
Yan Qi smiled: "Can I express my opinion?"
"Of course."
The old emperor waved his hand eagerly: "Speak freely, don't hold back, don't hold back."
Yan Qidao: "Then I'll tell you."
The old emperor stood up excitedly: "Speak quickly, speak quickly, I am all ears, and I also want all the adults to listen to Yan Aiqing's high opinions. Every word Yan Aiqing said must be enlightening and enlightening."
Yan Qidao: "Thanks to the emperor's trust, I will speak frankly. I think that Princess Yunyue should marry Moss and should not shirk it. Moreover, the decision should be made quickly and decisively and cannot be sloppy. Otherwise, where is the emperor's prestige?" "
"Ah, you... Yan Qi... your little boy Yin Zhen..."
The old emperor was dumbfounded after hearing Yan Qi's words.
My head is buzzing.
I almost made a big somersault.
The officials were in an uproar.
"Oh, Yan Qi is acting opposite to the emperor."
"It's rare that Yan Qi actually supports the Eighth Prince's opinion."
"I can't understand what is going on."
…
The old emperor waited for a long time before he came back to his senses.
"Yan Qi, you said...what did you say? I didn't hear clearly."
Yan Qidao: "In a word, I support the eight kings. The eight kings are right. The emperor cannot break his promise to the world, and the emperor obeys his words! How can you be an emperor if you don't keep your word?"
Yan Qi's words were like heavy stones falling from the sky, completely knocking the old emperor's heart away.
"Yan Qi, you...hey!"
The old emperor originally wanted Yan Qi to stand up for him and help him in times of crisis, but he never expected that Yan Qi not only failed to help him, but instead added insult to injury and gave him a hammer.
The old emperor was caught off guard by the blow and almost fainted.
Yan Qi saw the old emperor drooping his head and snickered in his heart: Let this old man feel dizzy if you don't tell the truth.
If I don't force you, you won't tell the truth about Princess Yunyue.
The Eight Kings saw the old emperor wilted and were overjoyed.
Yan Qi is still powerful.
With the platform of Yanqi, it is a foregone conclusion that Princess Yunyue will marry Moss.
The matter was accomplished, and the city of Tus was obtained.
His status as a virtuous king will inevitably be restored.
Once you regain your status as a virtuous king, you can
Political.
Haha, this king is resurrected with full blood.
The Eight Kings pressed forward step by step: "Brother Emperor Mingjian, you just asked Lord Yan to express his position, and Lord Yan also expressed his opinion in support of my brother!"
"It can be said that all civil and military officials in the entire dynasty believed that what my brother said was good advice."
"Brother Emperor, credit and virtue are the cornerstone of the emperor. If the emperor keeps his word, his ministers will be disobedient, his country will be ruined, the country will collapse, and rituals and music will collapse! Brother Emperor, are you still so stubborn?"
These words forced the old emperor into a corner.
There was no way he could retreat.
The old emperor waved his hand helplessly: "I will retreat from the court for the time being. I will come to court early tomorrow morning. I will definitely have an idea."
The Eight Kings continued to press for the palace: "Brother, please don't delay..."
Snapped!
The old emperor slapped the armrest hard and roared angrily: "I told you that I will have an idea tomorrow. Don't you understand what I said? Retreat from the court! Cough cough cough cough..."
The old emperor coughed a few times and walked away.
The Eighth Prince looked at the old emperor's staggering steps, sneered in his heart, and bowed on his face: "My brother, I will definitely give you advice tomorrow."
The old emperor's back shook heavily and he almost fell down.
Yan Qi looked at the old emperor's rickety back and sighed: Poor old man, what secret is hidden in his heart?
…
night!
Yan Qi entered the palace directly.
He found Gao Shangtian and wanted to meet the emperor.
Gao Shangtian looked unhappy when he saw Yan Qi, but he had to report it.
Soon, Gao Shangtian came back and said, "Master Yan, the emperor... I don't see you."
"Hahaha!"
Yan Qi laughed: "The old man is angry."
Gao Shangtian was also very puzzled and complained: "Master Yan was in the court today and challenged the emperor. The emperor was very disappointed. He looked up at the bright moon in the sky and felt sad for spring and autumn!"
"Master Yan, with all due respect, you have hurt the Emperor deeply this time. I have seen the Emperor melancholy and I have seen the Emperor angry, but I have never seen the Emperor lose confidence or direction."
"This time, the emperor has lost confidence and direction. Deep down, he has collapsed."
"Master Yan, you have gone too far this time. Even I can't stand it anymore."
Yan Qi patted Gao Shangtian on the shoulder: "Don't worry, Commander Gao. I'm not doing this for the sake of the emperor."
Gao Shangtian was confused: "For the emperor's benefit? I don't understand."
