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

The leader is Shen Kuan and others.

They are either auxiliaries or prime ministers, and the emperor who has not been in charge can lock them up, but it is difficult to remove them, so these people can still come to the court during the great court.

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

Originally, he thought that Li Xin would appear in Weiyang Palace early in the morning to shock the court and clarify Yuyu, and then all these chaotic ministers and thieves would be blocked out by Li Xin alone, but he didn't expect that Li Xin had not arrived at the great court meeting that started at the beginning of Chenshi.

So, there is the current scene.

Shen Kuan and others listed the immorality of the Son of Heaven, especially the death of Chu Guiren's family on the emperor.

However, in the Weiyang Palace, he did not dare to directly ask the emperor to abdicate, but asked the emperor to cultivate virtue and return to the court, and the auxiliary ministers of the court were governed, and the queen mother supervised the country.

Now the reputation of the Son of Heaven of Yuan Zhao has been extremely bad, and in the eyes of the government and the opposition, it is not impossible to abolish the emperor, so the request of Shen Kuan and others is already a "very reasonable" request, and the Son of Heaven has no reason not to agree.

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

As a result, there is now a scene where most of the hundred officials kneel in the Weiyang Palace to petition.

There were only seven or eight people who did not kneel, including Yin Zhou Shunde of Jingzhao Mansion.

Yan Shou knelt at the front, he kowtowed and said: "Previously, Your Majesty used the Tianmu Prison to find out the mistakes made by the ministers over the years, and they were all handed over to the three law divisions for judgment, no matter what the punishment was, the ministers all recognized it, the demotion of the officials, the dismissal of the dismissal, the positions of Shangshutai and Yushitai, the ministers and others can also be allowed out and handed over to the prime minister to take care of." ”

"Ministers, not people who seek power."

Yan Sikong kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty has been on the throne for a year, but there are immoralities, such as virtue is not perfected, being a monarch and father, the world is afraid of chaos, and the ministers implore Your Majesty to return to the court. ”

Shen Kuan and the other two Zaifu, with a group of their protégés and former officials, knelt on the ground with a heavy voice.

"Ministers, I am willing to lead the neck and kill!"

Yuan Zhao Tianzi sat on the throne, his face flushed.

He gritted his teeth and said: "The matter of the Chu nobles, Jingzhao Mansion has already investigated it clearly, as for the matter in the palace, maybe I have nothing to do with it, and you have indiscriminately put this matter on my head, but do you put me as a monarch in your eyes?" ”

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

No one answered.

After being silent in the hall for a long time, Shen Kuan glanced up at Yin Zhou Shunde of Jingzhao Mansion, who was still standing, and said in a muffled voice: "Your Majesty, this Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, I am afraid that he has been blinded by the desire for power, and he doesn't remember the teachings of the saints, and what Jingzhao Mansion finds out will only be what His Majesty is willing to see." ”

Zhou Shunde glared angrily at Shen Kuan.

"Shen Kuan, this official originally respected you as Zaifu, and you are also the official of Jingzhao Mansion, and you have never spoken ill of you, the things investigated by my Jingzhao Mansion have always been complete with human and material evidence, and you want to discredit my Jingzhao Mansion with empty words and white teeth?"

"That day, my Jingzhao Mansion examined those bandits and bandits, and learned that they went to kill more than 30 people from the Chu family, but someone instructed them, who was behind this, Shen Xiang knew better than anyone else in his heart!"

Shen Kuan knelt on the ground and said in a muffled voice: "Naturally, someone instructed the bandits to do it, and we can't ask the guards of the Great Jin to slaughter the people of the Great Jin!" ”

"I heard that after the incident of the Chu nobles, His Majesty once said that he would raze the three clans of the Chu nobles."

At this point, he didn't say any more,

After the Chu nobles inexplicably appeared in the Weiyang Palace that day, Yuan Zhao Tianzi was half angry, and he did say that he wanted to raze the three tribes of Chu nobles, but this was only said in private and never spread.

The Son of Heaven gritted his teeth angrily.

"Shen Xiang is really open to the sky, and my whispers in the palace can also fall into Shen Xiang's ears!"

At this time, Shen Kuan had already torn his face, and Shen Kuan no longer avoided anything, he said in a deep voice: "Since Your Majesty said it, you shouldn't be afraid of people knowing. ”

It is not uncommon for palace people to spread messages outside the palace, whether it is in the Chengde Dynasty or the Taikang Dynasty, there will be ministers who ask the Son of Heaven what the emperor has said, so as to figure out the holy will, which is one of the important sources of income for the palace attendants.

When the Chengde Dynasty was in place, the Son of Heaven laughed at himself and said that he had a fart in the palace, and half of the people in the capital could smell it.

Yuan Zhao Tianzi snorted angrily, gritted his teeth and said: "I have not yet become pro-government, and the ministers have forced me to return to power, so according to your meaning, when is it appropriate for me to pro-government?" ”

Yan Shou knelt 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. ”

The Son of Heaven is fifteen years old this year, and he would have been able to become a natural pro-government in another year, but Yan Shou's clumsy and frivolous sentence would make him wait for another three years.

Now, these civil officials have basically torn their faces with Yuan Zhao Tianzi, and they will definitely not let Yuan Zhao Tianzi really pro-government, otherwise they will all have to fall to the ground at that time, and now proposing to be 18-year-old pro-government is just a delaying tactic.

If the plan is successful, these civil officials will be in charge of the government for the past three years, and when the time comes, they will be placed in their own hands inside and outside the court, and it will be much easier to abolish the emperor than now.

Yuan Zhao Tianzi took a deep breath, and after barely calming down, he turned his head to look at Dadu Governor Ji Lin, and said with a cold face: "That's what Dadu Governor also means?" ”

Ji Lin knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said: "The minister is in charge of military affairs, it is not appropriate to meddle in political affairs, everything is decided by His Majesty and the Queen Mother." ”

At this time, the Metropolitan Governor's Office did not object, and it was already in support.

The Metropolitan Governor's Mansion had an unpleasant time with Li Xin, and now public opinion is no longer on the side of the Son of Heaven at all, coupled with the daily lobbying of those civil officials, now the Metropolitan Governor's ass has been somewhat crooked to the side of the civil officials.

Yuan Zhao Tianzi sneered: "How do I choose, can you still listen to it?" ”

Ji Lin knelt on the ground and was silent.

The atmosphere was at a stalemate again.

At this time, Xiao Huai, a eunuch dressed in lilac clothes, trotted in front of his godfather Xiao Zheng, and said a few words in his ear, Xiao Zheng frowned, walked in front of the Son of Heaven, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, Marquis Li has arrived." ”

Yuan Zhaotianzi's face was happy, and he was about to announce Li Xin coming in, when he heard Xiao Zheng continue: "Your Majesty, Hou Ye Li, he ...... Yong'anmen, who brought forty or fifty Yulin guards, has arrived at the gate of Weiyang Palace at this time, what do you mean......"

It stands to reason that no matter who it is, it is impossible for the court to bring the Praetorian Guards with them.

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

Xiao Zheng nodded and gestured to Xiao Huai.

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

"Xuan Taifu has come to see you—"

This one is sung high-pitched, and the voice is 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 Shouchuang, his eyes were shocked.

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

How did he get back?

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

Because of a lot of wind and snow in the past few days, Aixin's face is a little red, and his skin is slightly rough, but he is tall and wears a tall court dress, walking in Weiyang Palace, and he has a lot of momentum.

The Marquis of Jing'an walked into Weiyang Palace, first knelt down and saluted the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven of Yuan Zhao hurriedly stood up and signaled him to be exempt.

After Mrs. Li got up, he looked back at the civil officials who were kneeling on the ground, and a bright smile appeared on his face.

"Ladies and gentlemen."

"Long time no see."
