The people sitting in the hall were all ministers who wanted to marry the prince. They were recruited to the Situ Mansion by the elders of the country. They all brought armored disciples with them and were ready to protect the princes in pairs. When they saw the imperial edict issued by Han Jiao, the minister, they were full of thoughts. It's "Yu Chengshuang Sijue". Who would have thought that the person who read it was actually Qingyu?
In the suffocating silence, someone suddenly shouted: "Absolutely impossible! Han Sigong read it wrong!"
Han Jiao smiled and reiterated: "The heir, Qingyu, is not wrong. What questions does Ji Yin have?"
The one who shouted was Bu Yinjicheng. He said: "The two young masters are brothers. Changqing gave the young master fifteen years of age. He acts steadily, is a virtuous man, and is supported by all his ministers. He is a good king of the country. The king will not What’s the point of choosing your eldest brother over his younger brother?”
Han Jiao asked: "Is Ji Yin questioning the late emperor's decision? Or is he doubting his friendship?"
Ji Cheng said: "I don't dare, but the late emperor was seriously ill, was confused before his death, or was bullied. I don't know."
Han Jiao said: "When Prince Qingyu entered the palace, the late emperor personally wrote an edict, awarded a seal and ribbon, exhorted and entrusted him with important responsibilities, and expressed his sincere expectation. When he was served by him, he shed tears when he heard it, and felt deeply in his heart. I have him as proof, Ji. Yin still doesn’t believe it?”
Ji Chengdao: "Even if it is like this, it is not what the officials want and it goes against the will of the country. This is a violation of orders and I will not obey the imperial edict!"
Han Jiao sighed softly and looked at Yong Zifu. Yong Zifu took a few steps forward and came to Ji Cheng. He asked: "Last year, I heard that Doctor Ji got a divination, saying that the king will die in the spring. The eldest son will inherit the fortune." Heir to the title?"
Ji Cheng scratched his neck and said: "That's right! Ji's divination has left nothing out..."
Wu Sheng listened with surprise. No wonder the young master Qingyu wanted to be the first post he took after he ascended the throne. It turned out that this guy was making random predictions and wanted to win the title of both. If he continues to talk nonsense, he may risk confusing others.
Just as he was about to throw the cup down, he suddenly saw a flash of cold light. An iron crutch appeared in Yong Lao's hand. The iron crutch hit Ji Cheng's head hard. Ji Cheng never expected that Yong Zifu would attack him, and he didn't even have time to react. Hit on the head with an iron cane. Tieguai bloomed with a golden light, and in the golden light there were all kinds of red, white, and yellow things that couldn't bear to be looked at. His whole head was deformed and he couldn't recognize Ji Cheng at all.
Ji Cheng's body fell to the ground and died on the spot.
Yong Zifu leaned on the ground with his iron crutch and said calmly: "It's a big mistake in divination. This is a breach of responsibility. What's the use of keeping you?"
This killing move shocked the entire audience. No one expected that the newly transformed Yong Zifu would be so cruel to Ji Cheng. Wu Sheng also did not expect it. He was stunned and secretly thought that this old man was so cruel.
I saw Yong Zifu looking around at the scene and said: "We originally thought that the late king would choose the eldest son as his heir, but now it seems that we were all wrong. But since the late king has made the choice, I am only following the imperial edict. You officials think that how?"
After a long silence, Gong Yin first bowed to Han Jiao, who held the imperial edict: "I obey the imperial edict!"
Then came Le Yin, Supervisor Ma Yin, the master of ceremonies, and the left and right ministers, all of whom prostrated themselves and respectfully obeyed the imperial edict.
After the news was released, in the outer atrium, the six disciples brought by Ji Cheng were dealt with. Yong came straight in and reported: "Among Doctor Ji's disciples, brothers Xuanguang and Xuanyi committed suicide, and the rest were detained in the hall, waiting to be dealt with. "
Yong Zifu sighed: "The Xuan family of Shangyong has no descendants!" He also introduced to the officials: "Alchemist Shen Wu has made great contributions to the country. He has been conquered by the emperor and worshiped as a guest minister."
Wu Sheng stepped forward with a smile and met with the doctors again. This time, the doctors were more respectful towards him and did not dare to sit down. They all stood up to meet him.
Yong Zifu asked: "Doctor Shen, please decide what should be done."
Wu Sheng said: "I have been delayed for too much time. I can't delay it any longer. Can you please follow a certain path to defeat the thief?"
Everyone said: "Only Doctor Shen and Yong Guo are following the lead."
After this scene, Wu Sheng's side has gathered hundreds of monks, and they are extremely powerful. At this time, Sikong, Situ and Dianling who are refining the divine realm are no longer afraid.
A large group of troops rushed towards Chengshuang's mansion. Here, Yuan Sima had already dragged a chariot and a stone cannon, preparing to break through the inner palace's magic circle.
Wu Sheng brought a large team of reinforcements, and the offensive momentum immediately increased greatly.
The arrival of the officials headed by Yong Zifu had a huge impact on the morale of the inner chamber, especially the appearance of Sigong Hanjiao. Even Sikong Lufang couldn't help but stood on the wall of the inner chamber and looked over.
Han Jiao was ordered to come to help. He immediately came to the wall and informed Lu Fang again about the inheritance of the late emperor. After hearing this, Lu Fang was silent for a moment, and then shouted: "The order of the ancestor is afraid of chaos. We are the two young masters. We are the kings of the country, not the king of the ancestor, so we dare not obey the imperial edict."
Han Jiao sighed: "Lu Sikong, why bother doing this? Do you have to harm the whole clan?"
Lu Fang said: "Si Gong, Fang proposes a temporary truce. This matter is important and must be discussed with the eldest son and Zhong Situ."
Han Jiao came back and informed Lu Fang of his opinion. Wu Sheng didn't need to speak. Yong Zifu was a little annoyed: "The king of the country? When did the country agree? Have you asked me? Han Si Palace, can you please come out of the palace? I Let Lu Fang see what it means to be the king of the country!"
Just as he was talking, Qingyu came uninvited. Everyone hurriedly greeted Qingyu with the courtesy of the emperor and his ministers. Qingyu asked: "Are the two ministers still married?"
Yuan Sima said: "We have prepared all the heavy weapons to attack the city. We are just waiting for your order to break this stubborn rebellion!"
Qingyu said: "After all, I am my brother, and I have many important ministers and scholars. If I can be preserved, I will be worthy of my ancestor."
This issue would not have been considered before he took office. After he took office, Qingyu had to try his best to retain as much vitality as possible. Otherwise, many important ministers and a large number of corporals under his command would be killed. As a new king, the losses would be too heavy.
In other words, by sitting on the throne of king, he has regarded these powers as his own.
Yong Zifu reported: "Just now Lu Fang said that he is the king of the country, so he is not subject to the imperial edicts of the ancestors. In this case, I invite you to open the outer court and send a message to all the people, so that they know the country's direction and who is the country's citizen. Your Majesty, you will be able to repent when the time comes."
Qingyu hesitated: "Is it too early?"
To open an external dynasty and consult all the people is to consult the people of the country, from the emperor to the princes. Whenever major matters such as military danger, relocating the country, or establishing a king are unresolved, we often open an external dynasty and send all the people to inquire about major political affairs. This is the last resort. Once the people of the country turn their backs, it will be the final result. Not to mention the ministers and officials, the king cannot violate it - including stepping down.
Qingyu had just taken over, and to be honest, he felt a little guilty about opening up to the outside world and was not completely sure. A day ago, he would have had no fear and would even have pushed for this proposal with full expectation. However, now that the imperial edict of passing the throne has been obtained, the couple and the core party members have been surrounded, he is not sure.
If something unexpected happens and the Chinese people refuse to support me, who will we cry to? This is why you will be afraid of bare feet after wearing shoes.
Therefore, Qingyu asked Wu Sheng: "What do you mean?"
Wu Sheng agreed to open an external court: "The king has inherited his heir and is about to issue a general edict to the people of the country. It is better to hurry up early than to wait late. This is one of the reasons. There are pairs of people who are dissatisfied and important ministers are suspicious. The country is still not at peace. I use the support of the people to encourage their submission and eliminate them." The second is to relieve his doubts, relieve his fighting spirit, protect the vitality of the country, and ensure the benevolence of the monarch. The name of the monarch is deeply popular among the public, and there are many people in the country who hope that the monarch will ascend the throne. Don't worry, the monarch. This is the third one!"
Qingyu thought for a moment and finally agreed: "Open the outer dynasty and serve all the people."
