Chapter 198 The whole world is in mourning! Zhu Wusi’s objection!

The bells ring thirty thousand times, and the world is pure.

It's not winter yet, and the capital is already covered in snow.

No one knows why the emperor is missing during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and most people don't care. They just cry anyway.

They didn't have much affection for this emperor. In contrast, the dandy wise king often appeared in people's sight.

There was constant crying in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The princes were sad, and so were the ministers, but the saddest one was definitely Yan Song. He cried as if his own father had died. There was no one in the civil and military dynasties who cried louder than him.

No one who sees him can sincerely praise him, "Old loyal Lord Yan Ge is patriotic."

No one knows whether Yan Song is loyal to the emperor or patriotic, but his pain is definitely real.

The son died in the hands of the demon family, and the emperor who favored himself suddenly died. In just a few days, he had nothing to do, and no one had to cry.

The party struggle, the situation is changing, and Yan Ge is older and has the ability to come to a emperor who doesn't like him. He still has to end up.

Not to mention that the more capable Xu Jie is waiting below.

To this day, Yan Ge's political opponents can be said to grab a lot. If he really liquidates, he may not be able to walk out of the capital alive.

Compared with civil servants, the mood of the generals is more stable, at least no one cried like Yan Ge's tears and tears.

The two are one door, two factories and one guard, and only three people stood on the court.

The iron gall god Hou Zhu ignored, Zhuge God Hou Zhuge Zheng, and Jin Yiwei commanded Zheng Dongliu.

The three people looked at their noses and hearts, motionless, like three thousand-year-old stone statues.

Many people were secretly looking at them. It can be said that whether the court will become chaotic next depends on the attitude of these six people.

When everyone sits down and talks, everything will be fine, but we are afraid that someone might want to make a profit secretly.

The Iron God Hou Zhuwu is the most special one among them.

The emperor died suddenly and he did not even establish a heir apparent. In theory, it was not a bad idea for his uncle to seize power.

After all, the anomalies in the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom make everyone afraid. A stronger emperor can at least make people feel safe.

Moreover, even if Zhu Wuli failed to get the throne, according to convention, he would become a regent or something like that, helping the young emperor clear the obstacles in the court and establish the majesty of the royal family.

All in all, it was Zhu Wuwu who gained the most from the emperor's death.

And because he was the biggest beneficiary, people would inevitably not associate the emperor's mysterious death with this iron-gallant god with a special status.

At this moment, there were also voices of discussion among the officials.

No matter how quiet they spoke, it would still reach the ears of the three martial arts masters.

Zhuge Shenhou, who has white beard and hair, is not like a martial artist, but more like a Taoist with immortal style. He slowly opened his eyes and said softly: "Master Hou, don't you say a few words? This discussion is a bit loud."

Zhu Wuwu said calmly: "Thank you Shenhou for caring. I have nothing to argue with. Those who are in the clear will do their own thing."

Zhuge Shenhou looked at Zhu Wuwu and found that his expression was natural and calm, not like he was lying, so he nodded slightly.

"It's not that Zhu is ignoring it, then it can only be..."

Zhuge Shenhou flashed the figure of Chu Yang in his mind, and sighed silently in his heart. He knew about Chu Yang entering the palace to admire the moon, and also learned some information about Chu Yang from Sheng Yayu.

But if Chu Yang can really kill the king, he still doesn't believe it. Even he can't break the dragon vein protection, so why should Chu Yang?

More importantly, how can a regicide sit on the throne?

Who in the world can be convinced?

If you really sit on the dragon's throne, it won't be long before war breaks out everywhere, and everyone is fighting for the world under the banner of Jingnan.

Zhuge Shenhou turned to look at Zheng Dongliu and asked, "What's going on with the Jin Yiwei? Didn't Mr. Zheng hear the news?"

Zheng Dongliu sighed, "The Jinyiwei were blocked from the palace by the Imperial Army. Naturally, they won't know anything if they can't get in."

"Forbidden Army?" Zhuge Shenhou frowned, "Who is leading the Forbidden Army now?"

"Li Chengliang, deputy commander-in-chief of Liaodong." Zhu Wulan sneered: "But he should be a serious commander-in-chief now. His Majesty had issued an edict before his death."

"Li Chengliang..." Zhuge Shenhou nodded. He knew this person. He was responsible for fighting against the Jiannu in Liaodong and helping the Ming Dynasty stabilize the northern defense line.

There has been no war there for five or six years, and his ability is evident. Zhuge Shenhou even thinks that letting such a talent return to Beijing is a loss.

"What nonsense."

"Your Majesty has always been like this, otherwise there would be no situation like today."

"His Majesty has passed away, please be careful what you say."

At Zheng Dongliu's reminder, Zhu Wuwu and Zhuge Shenhou stopped talking at the same time. One of them was the emperor's uncle, and the other was a marquis granted by the late emperor, with special status.

At this moment, dense footsteps sounded outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

"The Imperial Guard is coming."

"That's... Mr. Guo and the two father-in-laws."

The visitors were none other than the other three talkers from the six major forces, Guo Bujing, Cao Zhengchun, and Yu Huatian.

The imperial army stopped outside the palace.

As soon as Guo Bujing and Cao Zhengchun entered the hall, countless voices sounded around them.

"Eunuch Cao, what happened last night? How did Your Majesty end up doing this?"

"Eunuch Yu, did your Majesty leave any edict before Bin Tian? Who should we appoint as emperor?"

"Master Guo, why are you with your two father-in-laws?"

All kinds of questions came one after another, which showed the panic and uneasiness in the hearts of the ministers at this moment. After all, such a thing had never happened before.

"Guo knows that all of my colleagues are very concerned about the cause of His Majesty's death. Please stay calm and listen to me."

The Hall of Supreme Harmony gradually became quiet. Even the young princes stopped crying. Under the care of the eunuchs, they looked at Guo Bujing in a daze.

"Last night, the Prince of Pingnan colluded with Ye Gucheng and Wang Zongguan and others, and entered the palace to assassinate His Majesty under the guise of a decisive battle on the top of the Forbidden City."

"Wang Zongguan secretly ordered a large number of pass badges to be issued, resulting in a mixed crowd in the Forbidden City. Deputy Commander Wei Ziyun failed to supervise and has been dismissed and investigated. It was the Imperial Guards who failed to protect His Majesty."

Guo Bujing told the cause of the emperor's death and never mentioned the Imperial Guards' siege of Chu Yang.

Then, Zhuge Shenhou, who knew a little about the inside story, couldn't help but look at Guo Bujing, as well as Cao Zhengchun and Yu Huatian beside him.

These three people mixed together, no matter how you look at them, they feel weird.

Zhu Wusi's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he asked: "Why did the Prince of Pingnan assassinate His Majesty for no reason? How could he assassinate His Majesty?"

"Even the Grand Master couldn't do it, how could a mere Ye Gucheng do it?"

"Just relying on his Sky-Flying Fairy?"

The civil and military officials also looked at Guo Bujing in confusion.

Cao Zhengchun stood up at this time and explained: "The reason why the Prince of Pingnan was able to assassinate was because they used a vicious magic."

"Because of the seriousness of the matter, I can only tell the three adults in detail."

The lives of hundreds of thousands of people in the fiefdom of the Pingnan Palace are a big deal, and the blood sacrifice method can affect the dragon vein and national destiny, which is a big deal among big deals.

The fewer people know, the better.

Zhuge Shenhou and the other two listened attentively, and they were all shocked when they learned the truth.

However, their expressions also aroused the curiosity of other officials, but because of the majesty of several people, no one dared to ask for a while.

The civil officials looked at Yan Song at the same time.

As the chief minister of the cabinet, he should speak now.

Yan Song also felt that he should say something, so he cleared his throat and prepared to speak.

"If you feel unwell, Lord Yan, go back first. After all, you are old."

Zhuge Shenhou and Zhu Wushi stared at Yan Song at the same time, their eyes as sharp as knives, which made the latter feel cold in his heart.

"Don't mind, my two lords, I just feel uncomfortable in my throat, it's okay."

Yan Song laughed dryly and retreated.

The eyes of the other civil servants suddenly became disappointed.

Without everyone noticing, a young official behind Xu Jie walked out of the ranks of officials and walked straight to the six most powerful people.

"May I ask several adults, is there anything that many colleagues cannot know?"

The young official's outspokenness brought the atmosphere in the Hall of Supreme Harmony to a freezing point.

"Uncle, come back!"

Xu Jie stepped forward and pulled the sleeve of the middle-aged official, wanting to take him back.

Zhang Juzheng, however, did not move, his eyes were very determined. Even if he made a big mistake today, he would still challenge the authority of the six people.

Not for anything else, just to prevent the court from becoming a one-man show for these six people in the future.

A flash of anger flashed in Tiedan Shenhou's eyes.

Cao Zhengchun and Yu Huatian looked unhappy.

Zhuge Shenhou, Zheng Dongliu, and Guo Bujing, on the other hand, showed admiration for Zhang Juzheng.

Having seen Yan Song's deep cunning and Xu Jie's shrewdness, Zhang Juzheng's fortitude was like a ray of light shining into the corrupt court of the Ming Dynasty.

"There is nothing that cannot be said. The King of Pingnan sacrificed the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in his fiefdom and refined a blood sacrifice bead, so that his son polluted the dragon vein with the people's resentment." Chu Yang walked in from outside the hall, walked step by step to Zhang Juzheng, and said: "If you have anything else to ask, tell me all at once." "No...no more." Zhang Juzheng was frightened by Chu Yang's momentum and even stuttered when he spoke. Not only him, but other civil officials were all shocked to see Chu Yang appear here. "Since there is nothing to ask, then hurry up and do the funeral. What does it look like for a group of people to cry here." Chu Yang's cold eyes swept over the officials in the hall, turned around and walked towards the high position in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. During the period, he passed by Zhuge Shenhou and several others, and he didn't say a word, as if he treated these six people as air. Such an arrogant behavior made the hearts of the civil and military officials tighten, and they felt that their breathing was about to stagnate. It was not until Chu Yang sat on the dragon chair that everyone woke up from their dreams and stared at him in shock and anger. No one has decided who will be the emperor, so how can you be on top?

It's not anyone's turn, you virtuous king!

Don't you know what your reputation is?

Some officials wanted to curse the virtuous king for being shameless, and some even wanted Chu Yang to take a piss and look at the mirror.

But it was not their turn to speak, because the six people had the real decision-making power.

"What does your Highness mean by this?"

Zhu Wusi, who was the most dissatisfied, spoke first. He also wanted to sit in this position, but he couldn't be as unscrupulous as Chu Yang, after all, he had to maintain his previous image.

He was envious and a little angry about this.

"Sitting on this chair means being the emperor, is it because the uncle is old and his brain is not working well?"

Chu Yang said with a worried look on his face.

Zhu Wusi was so angry that he almost cursed, but he finally held it back and said in a gentle voice: "The ministers haven't decided on the rules yet. Even if you want the throne, you have to follow the rules." Chu Yang tilted his head and smiled: "Rules? My rules are the rules."

Zhu Wusi finally couldn't help it and glared at Chu Yang, "Don't think you can be so arrogant just because you have hidden some cultivation. If you don't come down, don't blame me for being rude!"

As soon as these words came out, Cao Zhengchun and Yu Huatian immediately looked at Zhu Wusi with a look of looking at a fool.

This man is so brave.

Guo Bujing gently reminded: "My Lord, the two top spies under your command haven't returned yet, right?"

Zhu Wusi frowned and said: "Tianya and Yidao have indeed not returned yet."

Guo Bujing continued: "I advise the prince to calm down. When they come back, you can ask them and then make plans."

Zhu Wusi looked at Guo Bujing in surprise. The warning in his words was very obvious.

He didn't know that Lu Xiaofeng had talked about the matter of Jinling City with these three people last night. The three people now knew that Chu Yang had killed two big demon kings.

After hearing this, Guo Bujing couldn't help but shouting that he was happy. He wished he was there at that time and fought side by side with Chu Yang to kill demons together.

Cao Zhengchun even beat his chest. If he had known that the virtuous king was so fierce, he would not have rushed into the gun in vain and almost lost his life.

Yu Huatian, who realized the gap between the two sides, was completely impressed by Chu Yang's powerful strength and became the number one fan of Tianzi, ranking on par with Li Gexiao.

Zhuge Shenhou asked in surprise: "From the tone of Lord Guo, it seems that he has decided to support the virtuous king to ascend the throne?"

Guo Bujing nodded without hesitation.

"Not only Lord Guo, our family also believes that only the prince is qualified to ascend the throne."

Cao Zhengchun hurriedly expressed his loyalty in front of Chu Yang, fearing that he would be overshadowed by Guo Bujing.

"Me too!"

Yu Huatian, who expressed his position last, regretted it deeply. Why was he always a little slower than Cao Laogou in this regard? !

The officials were stunned. In just a short while, three of the six people had expressed their support for the virtuous king. This kind of scene was unexpected by everyone.

No matter who you choose, you should not choose the virtuous king!

My Lord, you are so confused!

Seeing the three of them so decisive, Zhuge Shenhou dared to conclude that they definitely knew something that he didn't know.

As the first person to be optimistic about Chu Yang, Zhuge Shenhou was not opposed to his ascension to the throne, and even had some expectations.

As long as it wasn't Zhu Wusi, he could accept it.

As for Zheng Dongliu, he believed in Guo Bujing's character, and even more in Li Gexiao's vision. Since Li Gexiao was willing to follow Chu Yang, he must have his own strengths.

The two old men looked at each other inadvertently and saw the smile on each other's face.

"The princes are young, and it is a good choice for His Royal Highness the Wise King to succeed to the throne. This does not violate the rules."

"Shenhou is right."

Two more people fell to the opposite side. Five of the six people were already on Chu Yang's side, which made Zhu Wusi anxious.

But he was also unwilling to give up.

How could he easily give up the opportunity that he had waited for so hard to get to others?

"There have been rumors about the debauchery of the virtuous king in the capital for many years. Everyone knows his character. If he ascends the throne and becomes emperor, how can the people of the world believe him?"

"If the people don't believe him, the generals guarding the borders won't believe him either. Then there will naturally be wars everywhere!"

"The virtuous king must not succeed to the throne!"
