As soon as He Ruobi said this, he was immediately shocked. What was shocking was not that he dared to call Yang Guang by his name, but that he claimed that he also had a will in his hand.
What exactly is going on?
I saw He Ruobi unfolding the yellow silk in his hand, sweeping across the field with his sharp eyes, and shouted: "The late emperor's edict is here. If you don't kneel down to accept the edict, don't you want to rebel?"
Under this stern questioning, the already wavering ministers knelt down one after another. After all, the label of rebellion was too big for them to bear.
Anyway, if the sky falls, there will be someone taller to hold it up. Whether it is right or wrong, the new emperor will naturally be there to deal with it. As long as I and others do not make mistakes in the general direction, and do not let others take control of it, it will be fine.
Yang Guang was shocked at first, but quickly calmed down and said: "Mr. He, this joke has gone too far!" The words contained a strong warning, and it was obvious that the old man had already touched him. Reached his bottom line.
However, He Ruobi didn't notice the strong warning and threat in Yang Guang's words at all, or he didn't care at all, and was still minding his own business and said: "I will guarantee my reputation for the rest of my life. This edict was personally written by the late emperor." I gave it to the old minister just in case, but unexpectedly, it has come in handy now."
After that, he directly began to read out the edict. The content was similar, except that the person who was supposed to inherit the position of Barbarian Emperor was replaced by the eldest prince Yang Yong. Or maybe it was supposed to be Yang Yong?
Although there had been speculations for a long time, when the news clearly reached everyone's ears, it still caused quite a stir in the venue.
Some things have different impacts whether or not the layer of window paper has been pierced. Even if the ministers have doubts about the legitimacy of Yang Guang's succession, they are still unable to directly question and refute. One is because they dare not, and the other is There is no tangible evidence.
But now everything is different. If this matter can be confirmed, then Yang Guang is a traitor who has usurped the throne, and everyone should be punished!
I saw Yang Guang's face gradually becoming gloomy and then becoming warm, but there were still many storms hidden behind that seemingly sunny look, which made people's hearts tremble with fear.
As the saying goes: "A dog that bites doesn't bark!" The person's emotions and anger are invisible, which proves that the person's character has reached a certain level. The more this happens, the more elusive it becomes.
As the saying goes, "a woman's heart is like a needle in the ocean", it pales in comparison. The emperor's mind is the truly bottomless thing.
Apart from anything else, Yang Guang already possesses the qualities that an emperor should have. This has nothing to do with being wise or not, and regardless of his character, it is something like a natural talent.
This is something that cannot be learned no matter how hard you try. Some people are born with the temperament of an emperor and a majestic hero, while some people can only be a subjugated king even if they are reluctantly promoted to the throne. The difference between the periods is evident!
He Ruobi looked around the field and shouted: "Everyone, Yangguang forged a posthumous edict, usurped the throne and established himself. He is suspected of killing his father and brother. How can such a heartless, sinister and vicious person be the barbarian emperor of our Southern Dynasty?"
The shouts sounded like thunder, echoing in the hall and echoing in everyone's ears, but no one dared to respond.
Not because of anything else, but because Yang Guang was watching them from the dragon chair, and Murong Ba had a cold look in his eyes, as if he was going to choose someone to devour in the next second.
And outside the palace, there are countless guards standing with sharp blades in hand, ready to kill at any time. And these people are all from Yangguang's side. The only ones who will be unlucky then are the ministers who oppose him.
He Ruobi looked at the silent field and couldn't help but smile sadly and said: "In the civil and military circles of the dynasty, no one dares to speak out? Haha, I am ashamed to be in the company of you!"
Those ministers who were frightened by Yang Guang's power were all ashamed and ashamed. However, they also have their own reasons. Anyway, if the emperor does something or not, what does it have to do with them? The only real thing is to protect this one-third of one acre of land. Can other false reputations be used as food?
Some people even thought of He Ruobi as the guy who wanted to be the minister of Conglong. He wanted power so much that he went crazy and dared to openly oppose the new emperor during the enthronement ceremony. This is not the birthday girl hanging himself. ——Are you tired of living?
The so-called "judgment of a gentleman's heart with a villain's heart" is because his vision is limited to this, and he believes that what he wants is also what others desire; what he cannot do, others cannot do either.
Yang Guang looked at the silent scene, smiled slightly, and seemed very satisfied, and said: "Mr. He, you blatantly caused trouble during my enthronement ceremony and even produced a fake posthumous edict. It is really a crime of treason. Even if you confiscate your family and exterminate your clan, it’s not an exaggeration!”
Then he changed the topic and said: "However, I am in a good mood today, and I think that you are the emperor's master. Although you have never taught me, I am willing to give you a chance. As long as you admit that the edict in your hand is a forgery, and Destroy it yourself, and I can forgive you for this crime of disrespect!"
He Ruobi looked at Yang Guang as if he was mentally retarded, suddenly laughed, and said: "You want me to surrender to you, a traitor, but you are daydreaming!"
Then he looked at the ministers in the palace, his eyes full of disdain and contempt, and said sadly: "I thought you were just temporarily compromising or being deceived, but now that I think about it, I am too naive!"
"It doesn't matter, what the book says is just some truth after all, but it's hard to explain to people's hearts!"
"Today, every one of us in this palace is either a traitor who plots rebellion, a 'weed on the wall' who takes advantage of the situation, or a rat who clings to his life. How can he be called a minister of the Southern Dynasty!"
Then he carefully put away the imperial edict, looked around the arena, and finally stared at Yang Guang with sharp eyes, shouting: "Traitor, you have usurped this throne, but you cannot deceive the hearts of all the people in the Southern Dynasty. Today, with my blood, I will Add to your list of sins!”
After saying that, He Ruobi ran quickly and hit a pillar on the side of the hall. Blood flowed out and brains splattered everywhere. No one knows how a helpless old scholar could have such great strength, and how he could have such courage and determination!
The bloody scene stimulated the hearts of every minister present. Some even had weak resistance and vomited on the spot. Some even collapsed on the ground.
Yang Guang looked very calm when he looked at the bloody scene. He just frowned slightly and said: "Oh, how come you still have such a strong temper at such an old age! It's so bloody, how troublesome it is to clean it up. ah!"
Murong Ba on the side looked at He Ruobi in a pool of blood and snorted coldly: "You should die quickly, otherwise, I will have to chop off your head with one sword!"
He Ruobi just pointed at the ministers and scolded them as "traitors". Murong Ba naturally knew who he was talking about. He was born as a military commander and was stupid, so naturally he was not as good at talking as these literati.
But he also has his own solution, which is to use a sword. If you can't argue, then deal with the person who spoke. In this way, the matter will be settled!
Yang Guang waved his hand and said: "Drag him out!"
There were guards on the left and right dragging He Ruobi's body out of the palace. Immediately afterwards, a fire broke out outside the palace, burning He Ruobi's body and the edict to ashes.
Seeing He Ruobi's body, which had turned into black coal, the ministers remained silent, not daring to say a word, not even daring to look up at Yang Guang, for fear that they would be the next one to be targeted.
Yang Guang thought for a while and said: "Mr. He still has a family, I think he will be lonely on the road alone, why not let the family accompany him! Go faster, maybe you can catch up, don't let He I've been waiting for a long time!"
After that, the guards understood the situation, turned around and left as a team. Everyone present knew what would happen next.
The occurrence of this tragedy is unfortunate, but also lucky!
Unfortunately, the loyal ministers died in vain and the truth was buried; fortunately only for these "grassroots", they survived and kept their own glory and wealth. However, they are just a group of walking zombies who have lost their souls. Even if they are alive, they are actually not much different from dead.
Murong Ba glanced at the field and shouted: "It would be good for Old He to be dead now with his monstrous words to confuse the public and slander His Majesty, but it's just too easy for him! Are there any of you who would imitate him?"
This is a naked threat. What should I imitate? Should I imitate him and hit the pillars, or should I imitate him and destroy his family? Don't be kidding, anyone with that kind of integrity would have died in the bloody night long ago. How can the people left behind now still have that kind of character!
He Ruobi was commendable for his loyalty, but he misjudged people's hearts. It's just that he is just a simple scholar after all, who uses himself to save others, thinking that as long as the imperial edict is issued and he raises his arms, he can summon his ministers to drive away evil spirits and clean up the world.
But how can it be so easy in reality? After all, the things written in the book are too idealistic. He has never truly entered the world and experienced the cruelty of reality, so it is reasonable for him to end up like this!
The reality is not Taoyuan Township, cruelty is the norm!
Seeing that no one dared to respond, Murong Ba snorted disdainfully and said, "Everyone, why don't you meet Your Majesty?"
As soon as the words fell, all the ministers fell to their knees, and then shouted "Long live" in unison, squatting very low, almost lying on the ground, to show their submission.
Yang Guang was obviously very satisfied with this, and said to the ministers below: "My dear friends, please get back on your feet!"
The authenticity of the edict is no longer important now. Even if the edict in He Ruobi's hands is true, it can only be false at this moment! And whether the edict in Yang Guang's hand is true or false, it can only be true. In other words, as long as Yang Guang is sitting here, it is true!
The so-called truth has ceased to exist since that bloody night, from the time He Ruobi crashed to death in the main hall, or from the time the ministers turned a blind eye or turned a deaf ear!
People here don't see the truth, or, in today's Southern Dynasties, there is no truth at all!
