Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 920 Long time no see

   In the Weiyang Palace, most of the courtiers were already kneeling on the ground and fell silent.

   is headed by Shen Kuan and others.

   They are either auxiliaries or prime ministers. Emperors who have never been in power can lock them up, but it is difficult to dismiss them, so these people can still come to court during the great court meeting.

   Besides, today, Emperor Yuan Zhao had confidence in his heart, and he didn't want to hide from them anymore.

He originally thought that Li Xin would appear in the Weiyang Palace early in the morning to shock the court and clarify Yuyu. At that time, all these chaotic ministers and thieves would be blocked by Li Xin alone, but he did not expect that the great court meeting that started at the beginning of Chenshi. , Li Xin has not arrived.

   So, there is this scene now.

  Shen Kuan and others listed the emperor's immorality, especially the death of the Chu noble family and the emperor.

However, in the Weiyang Palace, he did not dare to directly ask the emperor to abdicate, but asked the emperor to cultivate morality and return to the dynasty. After the virtues are complete, the pro-government will be carried out.

   Now the reputation of Emperor Yuanzhao has been ruined to the extreme. In the eyes of the court and the public, it is not impossible to abolish the emperor, so the request of Shen Kuan and others is already a "very reasonable" request, and the emperor has no reason not to agree.

   But Emperor Yuan Zhao, who was sitting on the throne, never let go.

   So, there is a scene where most of the officials are kneeling in the Weiyang Palace to petition.

   There were only seven or eight people who did not kneel, including Zhou Shunde, the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture.

Yan Shouzhuo knelt at the front, and he kowtowed: "Previously, His Majesty used the Tianmu prison to find out the faults of the ministers and others over the years, and they were all judged by the three judicial divisions. , those who should be dismissed, the positions of Shangshutai and Yushitai, ministers, etc. can also be released, and they can be taken care of by the Prime Minister."

   "The ministers, etc., are not people who seek power."

Yan Sikong bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty has been on the throne for a year, but there is a lack of morality. If you do not practice perfect morality, and you are a king and father, the world may be in chaos. The ministers and others implore your Majesty to return the power to the court. Kill it when you pull your neck."

  Shen Kuan and the other two Zaisuke, along with a group of their disciples and former officials, knelt down on the ground, their voices heavy.

   "Chen wait, if you are willing to lead your neck, you will be killed!"

   Emperor Yuanzhao sat on the throne, his face flushed.

He gritted his teeth and said, "The Jingzhao House has already investigated the matter of the nobles of Chu, and as for the matter in the palace, maybe I have nothing to do with it. Do you put me in the eyes of the king at all?"

   "Today, all the ministers kneeling in the hall are disloyal and unfilial!"

   No answer.

After a long silence in the hall, Shen Kuan raised his head and glanced at Zhou Shunde, the governor of the Jingzhao government, who was still standing, and said in a muffled voice, "Your Majesty, this governor of Jingzhao has probably been blinded by the desire for power, and he doesn't remember the teachings of the saint at all. , what Jingzhao Mansion finds out will only be what His Majesty is willing to see."

   Zhou Shunde glared at Shen Kuan.

"Shen Kuan, this official respects you as Zaifu, as well as the Shangguan of Jingzhao Mansion. I have never spoken ill of you. What I have investigated in Jingzhao Mansion has always been filled with evidence and evidence. Smear my Jingzhao Mansion?"

"That day, my Jingzhao Mansion reviewed those bandits and bandits, and the interrogation learned that they were instructed to kill more than 30 people from the Chu family. !"

  Shen Kuan knelt on the ground and said in a muffled voice: "Of course someone instructed the bandit to do it, we can't ask the guards of Dajin to slaughter the people of Dajin!"

   "I heard that after the incident of the nobles of Chu, His Majesty once said that he wanted to exile the three nobles of Chu."

   Having said that, he did not say any more,

   After the noble people of Chu appeared in Weiyang Palace inexplicably that day, Emperor Yuan Zhao was so angry that he did say something about the three clans of the noble people of Chu, but these words were only said in private and never spread.

  The emperor gritted his teeth in anger.

   "Shen Xiang really has eyes and ears, and my whispers in the palace can also fall into Shen Xiang's ears!"

   At this time, his face has been torn, and Shen Kuan no longer avoids anything, he said solemnly: "Since Your Majesty said it, you should not be afraid of people knowing."

It is not uncommon for palace servants to spread words outside the palace. Whether it is in the Chengde Dynasty or the Taikang Dynasty, there will be ministers who ask the emperor’s valet to find out what the emperor has said, so as to figure out the holy will. This is an important source of income for the palace servants. one.

   During the Chengde Dynasty, the emperor of Chengde laughed at himself and said that when he put a fart in the palace, half the people in the capital could smell it.

   Emperor Yuanzhao snorted angrily, gritted his teeth and said, "I haven't been in power yet, so the ministers forced me to return to power. Then, according to your opinion, when is it appropriate for me to be in power?"

Yan Shou knelt down and kowtowed, and said, "Emperor Xianzhao ascended the throne at the age of twenty-four, and Emperor Jing ascended the throne at the age of twenty-three, both of them are Mingjun of the first generation, and the ministers and others have discussed it. Your Majesty is still young, and should be eighteen years old. After that, go to pro-government and manage the dynasty.”

  The Emperor is fifteen years old this year, and he could have taken the lead in just one year, but his strict obedience and frivolity will make him wait another three years.

   Now, these civil servants have basically torn their face with Emperor Yuanzhao, they will never let Emperor Yuanzhao really govern, otherwise they will all be killed, and now proposing to govern at the age of eighteen is just a plan to delay the army.

  If the plan is successful, these civil servants will be in charge of the government for the past three years. At that time, both inside and outside the imperial court will be placed in their own hands by them. At that time, it will be much easier to abolish the emperor than it is now.

   Emperor Yuanzhao took a deep breath, and after barely calming down, he turned to look at Ji Lin, the governor, and said with a cold face, "Is this what the governor also meant?"

  Jilin knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "This minister is in charge of military affairs, and it is not appropriate to meddle in political affairs. Everything is up to His Majesty and the Empress Dowager to decide."

   At this time, the Metropolitan Government does not object, it is already support.

   The Grand Governor's Office had a bad time with Li Xin, and now the public opinion is no longer on the side of the emperor, plus the daily lobbying of those civilians, now the Grand Governor's **** has been skewed to the side of the civilians.

   Emperor Yuan Zhao sneered: "How do I choose, can you still hear it?"

   Ji Lin knelt on the ground and remained silent.

  The atmosphere froze again.

At this time, Xiao Huai, an **** dressed in lavender clothes, ran Xiaolu Xiaoran to the front of his godfather Xiao, and said a few words with his ears. Xiao Zheng frowned, walked to the emperor, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, Li Hou Grandpa is here."

Emperor Yuan Zhao's face brightened, and he was about to announce that Li Xin came in, when he heard Xiao Zheng continue: "Your Majesty, Lord Li, he... Yong'anmen, where he brought forty or fifty Yulin guards, has already arrived at Weiyang. It's at the gate of the palace, what do you mean..."

  It stands to reason that no matter who it is, it is impossible for the court to bring the guards together.

   Emperor Yuan Zhao first frowned, then closed his eyes and said, "Let Master Li come in directly."

   Xiao Zheng nodded and made a gesture to Xiao Huai.

   Xiao Huai understood and ran to the gate of Weiyang Palace, singing loudly.

   "See Mrs. Xuan—"

   This high-pitched voice is shrill and very penetrating.

   At the same time, the people kneeling in the front row in Weiyang Palace were all shocked.

  Shen Kuan even turned his head to look at Yan Shouzhuo, his eyes uncertain.

  Yan Sikong also frowned. At this time, all the civil servants had only one thought in their hearts.

  Why did he come back?

   While everyone was thinking about it, the Marquis of Jing'an, who was wearing a purple court dress, had already stepped into the Weiyang Palace.

  Because there has been a lot of wind and snow in the past few days, his face is a little red, and his skin is a little rough. However, he is tall and wears a tall court dress. Walking in the Weiyang Palace, he is very imposing.

  The Marquis of Jing'an walked into the Weiyang Palace and first knelt down to salute the emperor. The emperor Yuanzhao quickly stood up and motioned for him to be spared the salute.

   After Mrs. Li got up, she looked back at the civil servants who were kneeling on the ground, with a bright smile on their faces.

   "Everyone."

"long time no see."
