Chapter 841: The Edict
Ming Zheng Palace.
Dozens of ministers have already gathered.
Li Xun walked into the hall and looked around, the ministers were gathering in groups of three or two, talking in a whisper.
Zhao Xun sat upright, quietly observing the ministers below, his seemingly calm gaze and look, but his left hand was unconscious, holding a round jade tightly, which was a subconscious bloom of nervousness.
Zhao Xun saw Li Xun coming in, and immediately beckoned to him.
Li Xun walked quickly to Zhao Xun and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, how is the situation?" ”
Zhao Xun pointed to the items in front of him, and said a little weakly: "Look at it yourself." ”
There were two items on the table, a decree and a letter.
Li Xun first picked up the letter and watched, it was Wang Wenfang who reported the situation to Li Xun, the left minister, Cheng Xisi had already sent a message in Yizhou, saying that the current emperor was not right, plotting rebellion and usurpation, and the winged king Zhao He was the legitimate heir to the throne, and called on the major princes in the world to raise troops together, with the clarity of the country, Cheng Xisi threatened that he had an eight-year-old child in his hands, and it was the winged king Zhao He who left his blood.
Li Xun looked at the holy decree, and suddenly had a bad thought in his heart.
Li Xun hurriedly picked up the holy decree, unfolded it, and his face suddenly became ugly.
The holy decree was written by Zhao Zhi himself, which means that after Zhao He succeeded to the throne, he should not kill each other, but should be close to the virtuous ministers and far villains, and continue to unite the Yang family and the forces of the Hanmen class, and block many gate valve families from the court, and must not let these people enter the core of power and disrupt national politics.
This holy decree is the same as the one in Wang Qili's hand, and it is also not approved by the political affairs hall, which means that these two holy decrees are not official edicts, but only secret decrees that were secretly passed on to Wing King Zhao He.
Wang Qili's holy decree directly indicated that Zhao Zhi wanted to pass the throne to Zhao He, and this holy decree, although there was no word to pass the throne to the Wing King Zhao He, but in and out of the words, it also indirectly proved this meaning.
"This decree is false."
Li Xun said categorically to Zhao Xun.
Zhao Xun looked up at Li Xun, and there was a bright color in his eyes.
Li Xun's voice was very loud, and the ministers below heard it, and immediately stopped whispering, and all eyes were on Li Xun.
Wang Chong smiled: "This is not easy to understand. ”
Li Xun sneered: "Since Cheng Xisi rebelled, he naturally had to find a reason and excuse, Lord Wang, what's so difficult to understand?" ”
Chen Hu, who was beside Wang Chong, said loudly: "We have all seen this holy decree, and it is indeed the handwriting of the first emperor. ”
Li Xun said lightly: "There are not many people in the world who are good at imitating handwriting, what can it represent with just a holy decree of unknown origin?" ”
Speaking of this, Li Xun squinted at Chen Hu and said in a dark voice: "Could it be that Lord Chen and Lord Wang have already believed that this holy decree is from the hand of the previous emperor?" ”
Chen Hu and Wang Chong's eyes flashed and they didn't speak, but when they looked at Li Xun, their eyes were gloomy.
There are people in the outside who are ready to move, plotting against them, and there are also people in the court who want to disrupt the situation and fish in troubled waters to achieve their ulterior goals.
"What Li Xiangguo said is reasonable, this holy decree must be fake, we must not be confused by a false holy decree, and let Cheng Xiji secretly laugh."
Xie Shiyuan stood up at this time and spoke out in favor of Li Xun.
"Since Cheng Xisi chose to rebel, then he must find an excuse and reason to send troops, rude and rude, the whole world is angry, since this holy decree comes from Cheng Xisi, it is absolutely unbelievable."
Liu Zhigu, Liu Congji and others stood up one after another and spoke separately.
Yang Daolin got up at this time and came to the middle, and said to Zhao Xun: "Your Majesty, since the ministers have made a decision, there is no need to talk about the matter of the holy decree, let's discuss how to deal with Cheng Xi's rebellion." ”
Yang Daolin was very low-key during this time, he has been recuperating at home, and rarely goes to the political hall, this is his second public appearance in the past three months.
Zhao Xun breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, the first emperor had an edict left, to pass on the throne to the winged king Zhao He, it had been passed on before, and now he got such a holy decree written by the emperor himself from Cheng Xihe, which made the ministers talk about it, which made Zhao Xun a little panicked for a while.
Zhao Xun glanced at Li Xun, a trace of gratitude flashed in his eyes, the incident happened suddenly, several of his confidants and close ministers were no longer around, if it wasn't for Li Xun to explain and relieve himself, he would really be a little difficult to step down.
This topic is too sensitive, Zhao Xun is not easy to explain in person for a while, there is a good sentence, the explanation is to cover up, talking too much, it will only make others think that he Zhao Xun is in a weak heart, covering up.
Zhao Xun said to Yang Daolin: "Yang Xiangguo has any good advice to teach me?" ”
Yang Daolin said in a deep voice: "Weichen suggests that the world be summoned immediately and denounced as Cheng Xihe's great rebellion and rebellion. ”
Zhao Xun pondered for a moment, and then said softly: "This holy decree...."
Zhao Xun obviously wanted to ask Yang Daolin if he had made another holy decree to refute that this holy decree was false in order to correct his reputation.
Yang Daolin said lightly: "What is the words of the rebellious minister? ”
Yang Daolin's meaning is very clear, the imperial court preemptively summoned the world and set Cheng Xihei as the ranks of the rebel ministers, so who would believe the words of a rebellious minister?
Hearing this, Zhao Xun's heart was suddenly shocked, and he secretly said that Yang Daolin is really old-fashioned, and if he doesn't take the initiative to defend himself, it is the best explanation, and he can really convince people.
The political thing has been decided, and then there is the military one.
Zhao Xun's eyes swept around, but he didn't see Li Zhong's figure.
"Zuo Xiang hasn't come back yet?"
"Emperor Qiqi, Lord Zuo Xiang is approaching the city at dusk, and the servants have already sent people to gallop to chase after him, and it will take at least two hours to come and go."
Xiao Lezi hurriedly said.
Li Zhong took a leave of absence for half a month and was about to go back to his hometown, but as soon as Cheng wanted to leave, it was Cheng Xihei's matter, which caught everyone off guard.
Zhao Xun frowned slightly, when Li Zhong was there, he always sang against himself, and he didn't like it very much, but now that Li Zhong is gone, Zhao Xun can't find anyone to talk to about military matters, or he can't find a military general who can be trusted enough.
As far as military is concerned, what Zhao Xun values most is actually Li Zhong.
"Your Majesty, the minister suggested that an edict be issued immediately, ordering Huang Baichuan, the envoy of the Caizhou Festival, and Wang Huailie, the envoy of the Chuzhou Festival, and the two of them sent troops to quell the rebellion."
Helian Chu made a suggestion.
"There are not many soldiers and horses in the hands of Cheng Xihe, less than 10,000 people, and the strength is not strong, with the strength of Huang Baichuan and Wang Huailie, I believe that the rebellion can be quelled soon."
Zhan Tai Yi Heng also made suggestions.
