Death advice, force the palace!
Chapter 143 Death advice, force the palace!
Emperor Xi Yuan's voice fell.
There was a dead silence in the whole hall.
Silent.
The old eunuch on duty couldn't help but look back.
But he immediately found that it violated court etiquette, so he quickly lowered his head.
And the expressions of the three ministers became even more rigid.
Even Li Zhouxiang and Daxiuyi, who had expected it in their hearts, looked at Emperor Xiyuan in astonishment.
Although they knew it in their hearts, they knew that Emperor Xiyuan would not withdraw his throne.
But...he didn't say he wanted to be crowned king!
Daxia is extremely cautious about conferring princes and kings.
This is especially true for princes with different surnames.
In the minds of the officials, the last time a meritorious official with a different surname was made a marquis was already 50 years ago in the period of the late emperor.
As for the feudal lords in Jiangnan, it seems that it was the first time that Emperor Xiyuan enshrined a marquis with a different surname.
In this way, it has been opposed by many officials.
It was not easy for them to catch Jiangnan's handle, and they had the hope of making him lose his position.
Everything was as they expected, and Emperor Xiyuan withdrew his order to be a marquis.
So far, things have been going smoothly.
But no one expected that Emperor Xiyuan's next sentence would directly make Jiangnan king!
There is still a fief, and there is the King of Shenwu who lives in the city.
The heads of many officials in the court couldn't help but go blank for a while.
When they came back to their senses, they realized that there was no joke on Emperor Xiyuan's face.
Although above the court, you have no jokes.
But at this moment, they hoped that Emperor Xiyuan was just joking.
But unfortunately, the one on the dragon chair is serious.
A stone stirred up a thousand waves.
After a brief silence.
Above the court, there was an uproar!
Since no one cared about court rituals anymore, they were vying to express their inner horror.
"quiet!"
The eunuch on duty condensed his voice and gave a clear drink.
So, it was quiet.
Emperor Xi Yuan seemed to have anticipated their reaction, and said slowly: "My dear friends, if you have any objections, it's okay to say so."
As soon as he said this, it seemed as if the flood gate had been opened.
Just now the three ministers all stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible!"
"Your Majesty, you should be extremely cautious about awarding princes and princes, and you must not mess with the court plan!"
"Your Majesty, Jiangnan's murder of the imperial court official is already a serious crime. It is a grace of God not to pursue it in view of his merits! If there is another reward, how will the people of Liming feel?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, if a person who violates the law can still be named the King of Shenwu, wouldn't it be a trample on the majesty of our court's criminal law?"
"..."
Anxious and earnest voices of comfort echoed in the court hall.
Most of them are group forces headed by the three ministers of rites, officials, and households.
It is already unacceptable for the people of Xiuyi Mansion to be named Marquis.
What's more, the king?
This is absolutely unacceptable to them.
Emperor Xiyuan looked at the princes in the court hall, with no joy or anger on his face.
Seeing this scene, the hearts of all the officials thumped.
It would be fine if Emperor Xiyuan scolded them angrily.
This shows that there is still room for improvement in this matter.
But after decades of getting along with each other, many officials knew that the appearance of Emperor Xiyuan was obviously determined, and it was difficult to be swayed.
The Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites was heartbroken and knelt down on the ground,
His voice was sad and full of sadness: "Your Majesty, I know that you have made up your mind, but the matter of becoming a king is absolutely unacceptable!"
"First, Jiangnan has a different surname. Even if you have meritorious service, you should not be crowned king lightly, otherwise the government and the public will be unstable!"
"Secondly, Jiangnan's murder of the imperial court official is inappropriate, and he must not be treated like a prince!"
"Thirdly, as far as I know, the law practiced in the south of the Yangtze River is very strange. Its roots are unclear, its origins are unknown, and its heart is also unpredictable. Rewarding princes and enfeoffing lands rashly will shake the court foundation!"
"What I say on my part comes from my heart, and every word belongs to the imperial court!"
"If Your Majesty does not take back the order, I will... use death as an admonition!"
After all, he grabbed the ground with his forehead, and there was a bang, blood flowed, and he felt a sense of tragedy!
Dead remonstrance!
It was a deadly remonstrance!
Seeing this, the other two ministers also knelt down and kowtowed.
"It's the same with the ministers, if your Majesty does not take back the order, the ministers are willing to use death as an admonition!"
When the three of them started, the officials from the camp behind followed suit and fell to their knees with a plop.
Shouting "Death as an admonition"!
All of a sudden, more than half of the officials in the court were remonstrated to death!
I vowed to let the matter of conferring the king in the south of the Yangtze River come to nothing!
The rest of the silent officials looked at this scene, and thought that it would be impossible for His Majesty to mention the matter of becoming a king anymore, right?
So, countless pairs of eyes looked at Emperor Xi Yuan.
The latter opened his mouth slowly,
"The government is unstable? The government is shaken?"
"What you said today, is it really for the country and the country?"
"If today's candidate for the title of king is due to your genus, even if you have a different surname, would you still say that it will destabilize the government and the public?"
After the words fell, many officials felt a chill in their hearts.
In fact, everyone can see that the three ministers have always been incompatible with the Xiuyi Mansion. Naturally, it is impossible to see a special institution like the Xiuyi Mansion, which already has great power, produce another King of Martial Arts.
But these twists and turns are all private things.
No one will bring it to light.
Once someone tries to pierce this layer of window paper, they will be hostile and isolated by the remaining officials.
After all, there are rules above the court, and there are tacit understandings under the court.
But Emperor Xiyuan didn't care.
Today he tore off this fig leaf impressively, exposing some dirty and nasty things to the sun.
Hearing this, the faces of the three ministers changed wildly, and they were just about to defend themselves!
But Emperor Xi Yuan said again, "You don't need to rush to answer, if you have a clear conscience, I can also ask Ji Ke to use the skill of discerning the truth, so that all civil and military officials can listen to what you think in your heart!"
As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden air-conditioning!
Those officials who didn't speak out all looked at Emperor Xiyuan in astonishment.
Throughout the ages, in the Great Xia court, the skills are not above the third rank, that is to say, all the techniques of looking at the breath and asking the heart cannot be used on officials above the third rank.
Which naturally includes the art of discernment.
But what Emperor Xiyuan said, he bluntly said that he wanted the three second-rank ministers to confide the truth under the skill of discerning the truth!
Of course they dare not.
Civil and military officials, what they hate and fear the most is the technique of looking at one's breath and asking one's heart.
Once some things are exposed, not to mention the official position, I am afraid that my life will be lost!
It was also at this time that everyone had a faint feeling in their hearts - His Majesty's intention to become king was unprecedentedly firm.
But it's not over yet.
Faced with the three ministers who used death remonstrance to benefit his own camp, Emperor Xiyuan seemed to be really angry.
He stood up and pointed at the kneeling officials who had died admonishing him, "Every one of you is full of country and country, but what are you really doing?"
"I named Jiang Xiuyi the Western King of Shenwu Town, because he fought against the golden-winged rocs of the Western Regions and won three thousand miles of territory for Da Xia out of thin air!"
"It was he who went to Hongzhou in Luoyang to kill the bad guys with all his strength, and saved the people of Hongzhou from fire and water!"
"It was he who won a mystical world for Daxia. The rare and rare grasses lived in it for a day, like a year, making the court and China's war reserves unprecedentedly abundant!"
"Such achievements, one pile after another, can reach one-tenth of it? Day after day, the corpse eats and sits, and only knows how to form cliques and fight against differences!"
"Death remonstrance?"
"I really thought I would be afraid of your death!"
"If you really want to die, I can give you an order to behead him for public display at three o'clock in the afternoon!"
"Don't pretend to be here, and pollute my Jinluan Palace!"
As soon as the words fell, the court hall trembled silently.
The three ministers trembled.
They had no doubt that even if they were killed in the Golden Luan Hall of the Summer Palace, it would not change Emperor Xiyuan's mind.
It wasn't until this moment that all the civil and military officials were shocked.
Emperor Xiyuan has indeed opened Zhang Shengting these years, and he is close to his ministers and good people.
But in his bones, he is not a mediocre and kind king.
Before he ascended the throne, he beheaded the first emperor, and wiped out the old evil forces of the entire imperial court, blood flowed into rivers, and corpses were strewn across the field.
With a lot of blood on his body, he just ascended the throne of the king of God.
Since he said to kill, he might really kill him in a fit of anger!
So, no one dared to take over.
In the end, Emperor Xiyuan walked away in a huff, leaving all the officials, civil and military, stunned.
With the old eunuch on duty shouting loudly,
"Retreat!"
Everything is settled, it is a foregone conclusion.
