Chapter 546 In the Court

The following day, the court meeting.

King Su’s appearance caused most of the courtiers to show a shocked expression on their faces.

But …

In the past few days, changes have occurred, everyone is a bit numb, so after the surprise also have withdrawn their eyes, continue to discuss the main event these two days to discuss the main event is also too much: the new king’s choice, the crown prince’s assassination, Princess Xu since . …

The first two of them because they have been argued several times are fruitless, for the sake of efficiency, today said that the first to put Princess Xu since . The matter of the end of this matter resolved.

After all, even in the Xianjia dynasty when the status of the Xu Taifei is nine concubines of the first Zhaoyi, look at the harem is also counted on a person, not the kind of Nuan Taifei by giving birth to a son to be promoted to the position of Taifei, she is in the Xianjia emperor to go directly after the promotion of Taifei a good person said since . The first time I saw her was when she was a child, and she was a child of the family. End, the causes and consequences of everyone has a clear idea: the consort can be said to be Wei family forced to die!

It’s not natural to drag this kind of thing out.

Dragging it out and saying anything would not be good for the Wei family or for the court.

And the most important thing is that it is now close to the end of the year, not early to solve this matter, difficult to leave this dowager princess zi coffin in the palace for the New Year is not?

“The consort is loyal, to the first emperor’s deep love and righteousness, its body is not, but its family can not be no mourning glory … “In fact, this thing is to do is nothing difficult, although the Wei family is very reluctant to lose the king of Shu as a chess piece, but the people of the consort is clearly for the first emperor Martyrdom, and left a suicide note to the son to go to the emperor’s mausoleum to keep filial piety for three years, in the sense of reason is not good to stop.

Excluding the face to stop can not stop, but it is flat to the Su family to talk about the handle, that might as well be generous it!

So Wei Xi as the Minister of Rites started a head, decided to follow the order of the Empress Dowager, buried Xu Taifei at the same time, the mother’s family of Xu Taifei’s brothers and nephews Xu’s family is not high, even if the seal, in the eyes of Wei Xi and others, but it is just a thing, and can not be divided into the real top of the interests of the people, so we quickly unanimously adopted.

As for the king of Shu, before the Wei family has united a large number of courtiers to table to the Empress Dowager, dismissed the king of Shu out of the succession of things now, now … now naturally continue to table, but the Empress Dowager in the end not allowed to permit this table, we have not cared about it.

After all, a prince who is about to leave for the emperor’s tomb for three years can’t take part in the next stormy meeting, so whether he is a prince or an emperor’s nephew, what does it matter to everyone?

After discussing the matter of Mrs. Xu, the courtroom was first silent for a while, and the somewhat odd atmosphere was only broken by the sudden ringing of the words

“It is said that a nation cannot live without a king …”

“About the assassination of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince …”

But Wei Xi and Qiu Shuxia opened their mouths at the same time, wanting to discuss the candidate for the new king is naturally Qiu Shuxia, Su Wang finally came back, the crown prince is lying on the sick bed to languish, such a good opportunity, he simply can not wait to fight!

But Wei Xi is not King Su has only just returned, the faction supporting him is overjoyed and in full swing, on the contrary, on the Wei family’s side, the Crown Prince has been assassinated, and due to the unpromising recovery, has been rejected as a contender for the throne, and the standby King of Shu has also become an abrogation due to Crown Princess Xu’s fierce opposition, and their only option left now is a commoner The only option left for them is a commoner, Lu Hehao!

Not to mention that now the only candidate for the Wei family heart how to sulk, alone how they did not think before to support Lu Hehao, so the two sides have not communicated, and now directly with the Su Wang side of the pinch must be at a disadvantage, Wei Xi will not agree to discuss the issue of the candidate for the new ruler in today’s discussion!

At this moment, when Wei Xi saw that Qiu Shuxia really couldn’t wait to put King Su on the throne, he couldn’t help but laugh out coldly: ”Although His Majesty has issued an edict to abdicate, however, he has yet to formally abdicate! Servant Qiu mouthed ‘the country cannot be without a king for a day’, is this now when His Majesty does not exist? In vain, you’re also a scholar who reads holy books, but you’re so arrogant that you’re simply degrading and inappropriate for a human official!”

“Although His Majesty has yet to formally abdicate the throne, he is no longer in charge during this period of time!” Qiu Shuxia did not show any weakness and laughed coldly, “Originally, there was Minister Gu presiding over the situation, so even if His Majesty was negligent, there was no harm! But before, because of the assassination of the Crown Prince, resulting in the imprisonment of Minister Gu, now there is no one to sit in the courtroom, all day long noisy, discussing some trivial things! So a few days is not bad, if continue to delay, the country can not be safe! So how can we not decide on a new king as soon as possible to continue the prosperity of my Great Rui?”

Wei Xi glanced coldly at King Su, “You want to establish a new ruler so badly, but you don’t know who the candidate is?”

“Shangshu Wei don’t talk nonsense!” Qiu Shuxia didn’t take the bait and said, “How can I, as a minister, set up a new ruler just because I say so? Naturally, we have to have the unanimous approval of the entire court, including the clan!”

Although everyone in the court now knows that the new ruler in Qiu Shuxia’s mind must be King Su but King Su is only Emperor Xianjia’s nephew in terms of name, in the case of Emperor Xianjia still having a biological son under his name, openly proposing the establishment of King Su will definitely attract a large number of oppositions, and they will be very fierce!

So Qiu Shuxia refused to admit it since, but kicked the ball back to Wei Xi, saying, “On the contrary, it’s Shangshu Wei, who has been strongly advocating for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to ascend to the throne some time ago, and now that we are going to deliberate on this issue, shouldn’t he come out and say a few words?”

As she spoke, Qiu Shuxia did not hide the derision between her brows: who doesn’t know about the Prince’s current injury?

Wei Xi’s eyes sank, the anger in his eyes flickered and disappeared, and he said expressionlessly, “Servant Qiu said that, but do you think that His Highness the Crown Prince ascending to the throne is the destiny of heaven? In that case …”

“That’s not correct, Minister Wei!” Qiu Shuxia was busy interrupting him and said nonchalantly, “The Son of Heaven is the son of Heaven, and the first and foremost thing is to be blessed with deep fortune! Otherwise, how can he be a blessing to the people and the mountains? Although His Royal Highness is the son of His Majesty, however, after the assassination, his body has been in a state of shock and he has not been able to get up so far! To place the burden of the world on him in such a situation is too much to bear, isn’t it?”

Isn’t this saying that the reason why the Crown Prince was seriously injured in the assassination was because of his own thin fortune and his inability to be an emperor?

Wei Xi, although not as much as Queen Wei love Prince, but in the end is a direct grandson, a good child by the Su family pit into that way, the future of the destruction of health is not, the Su family of the vanguard is still here to talk about the sarcasm if he is not a family of origin, cultured kung fu is practiced since childhood, which almost did not hold down the front to give Qiu Shuxia a punch!

Rarely, Wei Xi also took some luck to suppress his anger, and coldly said, “According to you, when the late Emperor ascended the throne, he was also in poor health, could it be that His Majesty, Emperor Huizong, still passed the throne to the late Emperor because he didn’t sympathize with or love the late Emperor?”

Its real Emperor Huizong really wasn’t good to Emperor Xianjia otherwise Emperor Xianjia wouldn’t have fallen that sick to the point of dying in his prime.

The problem is that you can’t say that as a courtier!

These days it’s all about filial piety, and children who are bad to their parents are going to be talked about, and then in turn, if a son who is a son isn’t loved by his parents, everyone will think that there must be something wrong with the kid!

Otherwise how could his own father and mother not love him?

At the very least, he’d feel sorry for him see, that guy, his own father doesn’t even like him!

So the question is, even though Emperor Xianjia has been dead for several years, who in this courtroom today dares to say that Emperor Xianjia has a problem, or that this recognized wise and capable late emperor is pitiful?

Gu Shao wouldn’t even dare to speak about it, okay?

The courtroom was as quiet as a pin for a while.

Qiu Shuxia was caught off guard by Wei Xi, and couldn’t help but be speechless he was rapidly thinking of a countermeasure, when he suddenly heard a clear voice ringing out, saying without hesitation, “The reason why the late Emperor ascended to the throne in his sick condition back then was because of the fact that among the sons of His Majesty, Emperor Huizong, except for the late Emperor, either they were brutal and unbearable, such as the King of Li or quiet and avoidant, such as the King of Yi, but the late Emperor could bear the important responsibility of the country. The late Emperor was the only one who could bear the burden of the earth and grain, so the late Emperor had to give up his intention of focusing on recuperating his body and take over the responsibility of the kingdom and the people!”

“Otherwise, the late Emperor has always been honorable and restrained, how can he be compared to the likes of King Li, who is preoccupied with competing for power and usurping the throne?”

Everyone looked at the voice, see Jian Xubai said these words calmly and rightfully, are very speechless: Huizong years of the Crown Prince of the fierce competition, as well as the early years of the blood wash of the clan and highlevel nobles, that is how many brilliant historians can not be rounded up, can not be hidden from posterity who is not in this matter in the heart ah?

It’s a shame that Jian Xu Bai can talk as if it’s true!

It’s as if Emperor Xianjia really had to drag his sick body to take over the throne because all of his brothers weren’t fighting in fact, this late emperor fought harder than anyone else so that he could win, okay?

But just as the group of ministers did not dare to say that Emperor Xianjia was not actually liked by Emperor Huizong, they also did not dare to say that Emperor Xianjia won the throne by hook or by crook!

After all, Emperor Xianjia was recognized as a wise ruler.

Then look at the history books: how has any wise ruler ever risen to the throne by hook or by crook? That must be the fate of the people’s hearts and minds unanimously elected, people really can not refuse, only reluctant to take the throne well!

And Qiu Shuxia was so reminded, suddenly dawned on me, stroked his beard with a smile, “This is exactly the reason! When the first emperor to take the throne is because the rest of the prince are not the master, for the sake of the world, had to step forward! But now the Crown Prince is not, in that case, how can we let the Crown Prince drag the sick body to worry about it? Even if Minister Wei doesn’t love his grandson, I’m sure His Majesty and the Empress won’t be able to bear it either, right?”

Wei Xi coldly swept Jane Xubai, although the Wei family has long known that the Marquis of Yan chose King Su, but this is still the first time that Jane Xubai openly stood on King Su’s side in the court visible King Su returned safely and appeared in the court above, although this prince has not said a word until now, the effect has begun to show!

“If Mrs. Xu has not been since . … “Wei Xi thought of this and sighed darkly, cutting off this anachronistic regret, and voiced, “According to the implication of Minister Qiu and Marquis Yan, there is a more suitable candidate for the new ruler than the Crown Prince? If this is the case, then why are you two avoiding talking about it? As subjects, it is our duty to be loyal to our country’s king and to appease the people!”

“Just now, Servant Qiu said that the new ruler should be decided at the earliest possible time, but why is he himself constantly going around in circles here?!”
