I'm Actually The Big Villain In The Book

Chapter 544 Reversed, reversed, all reversed!

Unlike most other court officials, Ruan Tianfu is a true "neutral faction".

No background, Jinshi in Tianji's three years, transferred back to the capital after five years of experience in the local area, and then plunged into the Ministry of Industry, the official position has not changed in seven years.

If an official comes from a poor family, in fact, he will generally choose to attach himself to a certain big force, so as to reduce some obstacles for his official career.

But Ruan Tianfu didn't want to do that, so he didn't move forward for seven years.

Ruan Tianfu didn't care about this.

Because he was able to enter Beijing as an official, and he was able to squeeze into the court, he was already very satisfied.

And since he no longer has any extravagant hopes for his official career, it is undoubtedly the best choice to remain neutral.

Even if you can't go up, at least you can't fall down.

More importantly, no matter what major events happen, he can live without worry, and will not be buried with him because of the destruction of a certain faction.

Of course, Ruan Tianfu knows the truth that no one can survive alone in a troubled world.

However, since he can't control the current situation, he can control himself away from the center of the "storm".

like now.

When more than a hundred court officials in the court hall were trembling with fear over their own fate, Ruan Tianfu could stand calmly in the corner of the last row.

Both his identity and his current position are extremely safe.

Therefore, Ruan Tianfu even had the mood to look around to observe the expressions of his colleagues.

Some are calm, others panic.

Some are angry, some are timid.

Some people's official uniforms have been soaked in cold sweat, and some people are calmly arranging their official hats

The small Hall of Supreme Harmony is like a stage at the moment, with all kinds of characters standing on it, ready to act together in an unprecedented drama.

Although he was also standing in the crowd, Ruan Tianfu was more like a spectator at the moment.

He yawned lightly, shifted his weight from his left foot to his right foot, and finally found a more comfortable posture for watching the show.

Then.

When the door of the palace slowly closed behind him and Ning Wenjun appeared from behind the screen, the drama officially began.

In the fifteenth year of Tianji, the fourth day of November, at the quarter of Mao.

Ning Wenjun appeared in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, but instead of standing in the first row facing the dragon chairs as usual, he stood upright on the dragon platform, facing a total of 118 civil and military officials in front of him.

Almost instantly, the Hall of Supreme Harmony became silent.

Then, after glancing behind the screen, he opened his mouth and gave a speech that lasted half an hour.

In this speech, Ning Wenjun justly and sternly stated a number of "violent" things that Ning Yongnian had done.

These include but are not limited to killing Xu Shixing and forcing Xu's family to rebel; Prince Tushun's full family caused Shuzhou to fall into chaos; he single-handedly planned the Yuanzhou City tragedy, causing two million people in Daning to die overnight.

After all these things were said, Ning Wenjun briefly concluded that Own's father is not worthy to be a human emperor at all, not even a human being.

And he already hated this deeply, so he ordered Wei Xianzhi to raise the flag to revolt when the evil king left Beijing, just to return the truth to the world.

Of course, a fierce king like Ning Yongnian can no longer be the emperor of Daning.

Therefore, he, the only prince, can only take up the heavy responsibility temporarily, ascend the throne in the face of danger, and lead the people of Daning to the right path.

If you put aside the nonsense and the rhetoric used to heighten the atmosphere, then Ning Wenjun's entire speech basically said such a thing.

Although Ruan Tianfu was astonished, he had already guessed that the prince was about to usurp the throne from the moment Ning Wenjun appeared in the Hall of Supreme Harmony after disappearing overnight.

Good guy.

Others rebelled in the name of "March of the Qing Dynasty", but it is better for you to come directly to the "March of the Qing Dynasty"!

Although Ruan Tianfu believed that Ning Yongnian did those things, which king didn't do some shady things?

usurped for this reason.

It's not impossible, at least it's an explanation to the world.

However, Ruan Tianfu was skeptical about whether Ning Wenjun could successfully usurp the throne.

Throughout the ages, generally speaking, four conditions must be met if one wants to usurp the throne.

First, the usurper must have royal blood.

Second, the usurper must have enough force to control the capital, or at least the palace.

Third, the usurper must be able to get the support of most officials in the court.

Fourth, the usurper must be able to get the support of the majority of the people, at least not against it.

And now the situation is obvious.

Ning Wenjun was undoubtedly completely satisfied with the first point.

The second point, the Wei family has already helped him do it.

But the third and fourth points.

Not to mention whether Ning Wenjun can be recognized by the people of Daning, which is relatively far away, but whether he can get the support of most court officials, Ruan Tianfu feels uncomfortable.

After the extinction of the Xu and Liu families, there are only three court officials left in the Daning court.

The first type is neutrals like myself.

And the rest are naturally the "Ning faction" and "Wei faction".

The number of the latter two is almost the same, and there are basically seventy or eighty people in total.

Therefore, the attitude of the remaining thirty or forty people who are neutral is particularly important.

If these people support Ning Wenjun, then there is a high probability that the latter will be able to ascend the throne "naturally".

And if these people do not support or express their opinions, even if Ning Wenjun ascended the throne forcefully with the help of the Wei family, it is absolutely impossible for the states to obey.

After all, almost every official standing here represents a major local force.

So not to mention Ning Wenjun, even Wei Xianzhi didn't dare to kill casually, he could only win everyone's support by coercion and inducement.

It's just not easy.

We must know that the way of being an official of the "neutral faction" is not to stand in line, let alone such an earth-shattering event, they will definitely not show any tendency.

Besides, it is only one night before the "uprising" of the Wei family, how can there be time for Wei Xianzhi to secretly "canvass votes"?

At least he wasn't approached by the Wei family.

so.

"too fast"

Sighing slightly, Ruan Tianfu gave his own judgment to himself.

And while he was thinking, the court had long been in chaos as a matter of course.

After "working together" for so long, everyone has already known whether each other's surname is "Ning" or "Wei". Therefore, once Ning Wenjun finished his speech, a fierce debate began.

Of course, the two parties are quarreling, but they still pay more attention to propriety when speaking.

Especially the officials of the Ning faction, they did not dare to directly scold Ning Wenjun for attempting to usurp the throne, but they kept yelling, "This matter needs to be discussed after the emperor comes back", "If the prince's words are true, it is okay for the emperor to abdicate at that time." late" and so on.

Just like that, the entire Hall of Supreme Harmony suddenly became lively from the dead silence before.

It's just that the number of people on both sides is equal and the volume of voice is equal. If the quarrel continues like this, it is estimated that there will be no results until next year.

Therefore, Wei Xianzhi, Ning Wenjun, and even Ruan Tianfu were waiting for an opportunity to change this deadlock.

The three of them didn't know what arrangement Wei Changtian had made, and Ruan Tianfu didn't even know that "Wei Changtian had already made an arrangement".

Until he saw Li Kan, a well-recognized "senior official of the neutral faction," suddenly step forward, and cupped his cupped hands respectfully to Ning Wenjun.

"Your Highness!"

"From today, Dali Temple is willing to obey His Highness' orders!"

"."

"Your Highness! Honglu Temple also wishes you to ascend the throne as soon as possible, so that the world can be restored to peace!"

"Your Highness! More than a thousand supervisors in our country's Zijian also have this wish!"

"Secretary of Officials Seconded!"

"Guanglu Temple seconded the proposal!"

"Secretary for the General Administration!"

"Second by the Ministry of Industry!"

"Second by Zhan Shifu!"
