Chapter 207: Confrontation in the court
The main hall of the Royal Palace.
The entire hall fell into silence, Qi Yuan was sitting in danger, and the dragon chair was in the middle, shining brightly.
All the ministers heard the news that the emperor was seriously ill and in a coma, and Gonggong Su had already passed on an edict before, and before the emperor fell into a coma, he issued an edict and ordered Qi Yuan to take over all the affairs of the court.
Among the ministers who came to worship, there was naturally Dong Yu.
Dong Yu's face was ugly, like a crumpled piece of rice paper, which was spread out again, with a sad face.
And the sixth elder brother still had that tepid expression, as if everything that happened had nothing to do with him.
But Qi Yuan doesn't have the time to care about these now.
What he cares about now is not whether Dong Yu really wants to rebel, or whether the sixth elder brother is spreading rumors and causing trouble, what he wants to know most is that those people who killed Yin Qingqi in the first place, where are they now, and are they still alive in the world?
According to Chang Lei's tip, many people are hiding in a wilderness mountain village in the north of the city.
Qi Yuan knew that when the emperor ordered them to hide here, it was naturally indispensable to guard the eyeliner.
This is also a big worry.
"Today, I will take my father to deal with the government affairs, do you have important things to report?"
Qi Yuan didn't expect that his words would be like stones thrown into the lake, and as soon as he said it, it made the entire court boil.
…
"Have you heard of any strange illness that the emperor suffers from?"
"I don't know, I just know that it was late last night, and the emperor was unconscious, but I heard that the pulse was stable, but I just couldn't find out the reason."
"The emperor ordered the crown prince to take care of the government, it seems that the next ......"
"Don't dare to talk nonsense, the emperor hasn't ...... yet"
Qi Yuan was condescending and looked at all this coldly.
Sure enough, it was some wine bags and rice bags, and there was nothing important except gossip.
"The minister has something important to tell."
This sound attracted everyone's eyes to look at the past.
And Qi Yuan frowned slightly.
Sure enough, he still came looking for trouble.
"Prince Qiyu." I don't know if the sixth elder brother did it deliberately or how, on top of the word "prince", the pronunciation was emphasized.
"Shuzhou Line News, said that there was a group of people making trouble, and now I don't know who did it."
Qi Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, he didn't expect him to come here.
For Dong Yu's stay in the capital, the emperor did not give any reply, for this matter, it is not to kill, not to kill, although the emperor knows that the sixth elder brother and Dong Yu are not clear, but he did not issue any edict.
Now Dong Yu is also in the court, just to see what Qi Yuan's attitude is.
"I see."
Qi Yuan just replied coldly, "Xue Aiqing is here?" ”
And Xue Tan was also stunned. How did you call yourself out?
"The minister is here."
Xue Tan stood up extremely reluctantly.
Xue Tan, who was originally used to being casual, thought that he didn't need to invite the early dynasty anymore after the emperor fell into a coma, but he didn't expect Qi Yuan to come to such a show.
"You know more about Shuzhou, let's hear about it."
Only a few people know about this matter, it was Dong Yu's doing, although there are many people in the government and the opposition who chew their tongues, but there is no evidence, and there is no legal Dong Yu's crime, otherwise the emperor would not have kept him as a tiger.
"The emperor ordered his ministers to send troops south to quell the war."
Xue Tan arched his hand and answered Qi Yuan's question without humility or arrogance, "As far as the minister knows, this rebel army is well-equipped and well-trained, and it seems that someone did it deliberately. ”
Xue Tan deliberately dragged out his voice and glanced at Dong Yu.
And Dong Yu looked like he didn't care, and didn't seem to take him to heart at all.
"Oh?"
Qi Yuan stared at the sixth elder brother, he was still expressionless, standing there coldly, exuding a compelling chill all over his body.
"Sixth brother, you can also be regarded as a person who practices martial arts......"
Qi Yuan's eyes were like torches, and he looked at the sixth elder brother deadly, as if he wanted to peel something off him.
"Do you think this is extraordinary? As General Xue said, someone is deliberately stirring up trouble. ”
"I don't know." The sixth elder brother saluted respectfully, and he couldn't see a hint of it, "It's just that if someone does it intentionally, sooner or later it will show its feet, and there is no impermeable wall in the world, right, prince?" ”
Qi Yuan knew that he was talking about the Seventh Elder Brother, but he didn't expect him to dare to openly oppose himself in the court.
The current situation, anyone with a discerning eye can see, when the emperor is critically ill, he entrusts his power to himself, as long as he is not stupid, no one is willing to compete with the current prince and the future emperor, and the sixth elder brother's side, except for some self-conscious people, I am afraid that no courtier is willing to stand behind him.
If Qi Yuan was just a defenseless yellow-mouthed kid before, there was no way to take those families who held the power of soldiers and horses, but now, he was in a high position, and no one would dare to disobey.
And what Qi Yuan couldn't figure out was that the sixth elder brother was falling out in person now, was it a temptation? Or is it open confrontation?
But Qi Yuan didn't want to completely destroy him now, after all, his father had not died yet, and if he woke up one day, he would find that the sixth elder brother would have ...... long ago I'm afraid it's not good for me.
Non-toxic husband, but the means also need to be flexible.
Qi Yuan is still a bit of a brain at this point, he will not be stupid to deal with the crime of the sixth elder brother now, not to mention, according to reason, he must have a clear statement and hand it over to the civil and military officials, otherwise he will not win the hearts of the people.
The people's hearts are scattered, and no one is convinced that he is the prince.
"Sixth brother, then this matter will be left to you."
Qi Yuan nodded, pretending to look thoughtful, "Seeing that you are so proficient and familiar with these court battles, presumably, you will definitely be able to find out the truth and give you a month, is it enough?" ”
"The minister takes the order."
Unexpectedly, the sixth elder brother did not refuse, but promised it.
"Stand down."
Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Qi Yuan beckoned the civil and military officials to retreat.
When most of the people left the main hall, Qi Yuan's face became more and more gloomy, and his eyes revealed a chill that Grandpa Su had never seen before.
Gonggong Su only felt a chill on his back, His Royal Highness the Prince, what's wrong? Isn't it okay?
"Xue Aiqing, you stay."
Xue Tan paused.
Could it be that Qi Yuan is for Yin Qingqi's business? Want to go under the knife yourself?
"Prince."
Xue Tan smiled, although he didn't know Qi Yuan's intentions, but in the agreement between the two, to help Qi Yuan investigate the events of the year, just this one, Qi Yuan would not kill him.
No matter how jealous he was, he wouldn't do such a thing.
Thinking of this, Xue Tan felt a lot more relieved, not to mention, he didn't seem to be afraid of the high-ranking man in front of him at all.
"Excuse me."
Qi Yuan raised his hand and motioned to Father-in-law Su and a few people to take shelter for the time being.
"I have something to ask you." Qi Yuan narrowed his eyes and stared at Xue Tan.
"Yin Qingqi's things back then, how much do you know now?"
"I'm afraid I know as much as you do."
Xue Tan pretended to be stupid, which made Qi Yuan angry for no reason.
"Did you know that I can condemn you at will?"
"Yin Qingqi is very unhappy now." Xue Tan didn't care about Qi Yuan's threat, "Have you dug over the old accounts now and asked her how she felt?" ”
