Hearing this, Gu Beichuan's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he even frowned.
Because Pei Burang said these words!
The same rhetoric, whether it was Zheng Ying's or King Yuan's, was not completely convincing.
But Pei wouldn't let it be different.
First, its force value is superb, and it can be called the best in Daqian.
So no one can threaten him!
Secondly, his identity is also very particular.
In addition to being the commander of the 50,000-strong Royal Forest Army, he was also the personal bodyguard of Emperor Renxuan.
With his bravery and status as a personal bodyguard, if Pei Burang wanted to kill Emperor Renxuan, to put it bluntly, Emperor Renxuan would not have waited until today to die.
Therefore, whether it is from the perspective of identity or personal force.
Even if Pei refuses to give in, he will have a certain degree of persuasion.
Above the court, not only Gu Beichuan, but everyone who heard Pei's words fell silent.
Because in a sense, Pei Burang's words represent the truth.
And they obviously still couldn't get over the bad news that Emperor Renxuan and the prince were both killed.
"Everyone, I know how heartbroken you are at this time."
"However, a country cannot live without a king for a day!"
"What's more, both the emperor and the prince were killed by Beiyan assassins. This is a national feud!"
"I can't help but retaliate!"
"Therefore, I have the courage to ask His Highness Prince Yuan to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, and lead me to lead a large force to seek justice from Bei Yan."
These words came from Zheng Ying's mouth and once again caused an uproar in the court.
Wei Qing frowned and stood up, saying, "Now that your Majesty and the Crown Prince have just died, wouldn't it be inappropriate to establish a new monarch?"
"That's right, I'm a little too impatient." Lieutenant Zhang Lang quickly helped. Once the new emperor ascends the throne, he will definitely be the one whose rights and interests suffer the most!
"Everyone! Don't be too benevolent as a woman. What time has it been now? Are you still sticking to the same set of rules?"
"After the death of His Majesty and the Crown Prince, even if we don't lead troops to avenge Beiyan, they will raise troops to invade our borders, kill my son-in-law, and seize my land!"
"At this time, we must not be in chaos within the court! Let alone be leaderless!"
"Furthermore, His Highness King Yuan's ability is obvious to all."
"If you don't ascend the throne and proclaim yourself emperor now, how long will it take for you to do so?" Zheng Ying said categorically, as if he was devastated!
As soon as this statement came out, the opposition voices instantly died down.
Why? Because what Zheng Ying said is true!
Daqian and Beiyan were originally mortal enemies. Now, with such huge changes happening within Daqian, it is impossible for Beiyan not to add insult to injury!
So now Daqian is in urgent need of an emperor who can lead them out of the predicament.
The second prince, Xiang Longyuan, has always been proficient in strategy and good at warfare.
When the prince dies, it is indeed the most beneficial choice for Da Qian for him to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor!
It's just that this matter involves too much, and it can't be decided overnight, with words and deeds.
So most people have chosen to wait and see.
But for Xiang Longyuan, this is enough!
If he wants to ascend the throne and become emperor, he does not need enough supporters because he is a prince himself and there is a group of military attachés standing behind him.
As long as there are fewer people who oppose him among the civil servants, the goal can be successfully achieved!
"No! I, Wei Qing, firmly disagree!"
"Is it true that His Highness King Yuan is willing to lead Daqian through the difficulties only if he ascends the throne and becomes emperor?"
Wei Qing's rhetorical question was very sharp, and Zheng Ying was speechless. He just smiled awkwardly and said: "What did Prime Minister Wei say? His Royal Highness Prince Yuan is from the Daqian royal family. No matter what status he is, he is willing to Fight for your country."
"It's just that if you can ascend the throne and proclaim yourself emperor, it will be easier to mobilize the army through crowdfunding, and you will be more certain of winning, don't you think?"
Wei Qing looked at him coldly, still shook his head, and said: "I still say what I said, before the cause of death of His Majesty and His Highness is completely found out, the throne should not be changed."
Hearing this, Zheng Ying's face slowly darkened and she ignored Wei Qing.
Although Wei Qing is the prime minister of Daqian, he ranks first among the officials.
But he can only control the Qing faction. Don’t forget, there is another faction among the civil servants!
"Taifu Yang, what do you think?"
Hearing this, Yang Huai frowned slightly and was a little undecided for a moment.
This matter is really too big.
So he shook his head and said: "I am old and frail, and my brain is not very bright. This matter is very serious. I am afraid that I will have to think about it for a while before I can respond to Eunuch Zheng."
Zheng Ying looked at him, his eyes narrowed slightly, emitting a dangerous light.
"Okay, then I'll give you time."
"Do you guys have anything else to report?"
There was silence all over the court.
"If that's the case, then withdraw from the court." King Yuan's voice did not make any waves, as if he was the one in power who had already established the victory.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
…
In Gu Mansion, Wei Qing was worried, pacing back and forth, saying, "Beichuan, what do you think of King Yuan?"
When Gu Beichuan heard this, he frowned slightly, shook his head and said, "I can't tell anything yet."
"Your Majesty and His Highness passed away one after another, so Prince Yuan naturally became the first heir to the throne."
"But if you say that he planned such a big drama just for the sake of the throne, I don't believe it."
"Prince Yuan doesn't have that ability. There are shadows of Beiyan here, and they account for a large part!"
Wei Qing nodded, and then guessed: "Could it be that Beiyan cooperated with King Yuan and wanted to use his hand to destroy the Daqian court?"
Gu Beichuan shook his head: "Bei Yan and Prince Yuan do cooperate. Prince Yuan's profit is the throne!"
"But Beiyan, if their purpose is really what you said, Prime Minister Wei, then they should have attacked Yuxue Mountain a few days ago, and took advantage of the internal crises in our Dagann to eradicate us in one fell swoop."
"But Beiyan doesn't have it!"
"So far, Beiyan has not sent troops!"
"There is not even the slightest intention to send troops!"
"That's the most elusive part of the whole thing."
"Prince Yuan is the prince of Daqian, not the prince of Beiyan. Even if he cooperates with Beiyan, both sides will be conciliatory and profit-oriented."
"But now we only see King Yuan profiting, while Beiyan only makes contributions and does not gain any profit at all."
"If we don't figure this out, I'm afraid Da Gan will be in grave danger."
When Wei Qing heard this, he was suddenly startled and broke into a cold sweat for a while.
Yes, his eyes have always been on King Yuan, but he has ignored Daqian's biggest threat: Beiyan!
It would not be terrible if Beiyan launched a decisive offensive when Daqian's internal power was being updated.
Because everyone thinks so.
But unfortunately, there was no movement in Beiyan.
A biting dog doesn't bark!
With the deadly feud between Beiyan and Daqian, it was impossible for them to let Daqian go. The only explanation was that they were holding back their big move.
