Chapter 404: Go, call Lu Qing back
As soon as the edict came out, it could be described as thunder on the ground, and the ministers in the court almost dropped their jaws.
The matter of establishing the reserve, the Son of Heaven didn't even hear the slightest rumor, and he didn't discuss it with them in advance, so that's it...... Set?
This is a matter related to the future national fortune of the entire Han Dynasty!
"Your Majesty, please think again!" Xu Xiang, who was Situ at the time, shouted and walked out of the courtiers' queue. He did not dare to agree with Liu Hong's edict.
"Your Majesty, think twice!" With the leader, the ministers behind him all knelt on the ground, kowtowed and begged Liu Hong to take back his fate.
Although he had thought that the ministers would come out to dissuade him, seeing them kneeling on the ground, Liu Hong's heart was still uncontrollable with anger.
"I have made it clear and clear in the edict. Why, you want to resist the decree? The gloomy aura in his chest came up, and Liu Hong's face became more and more indifferent, and he didn't have the slightest idea of changing his mind. He is an autocratic monarch, and what he decides will not be easily changed.
"Your Majesty, the little prince is young, and I am afraid it will be difficult to take on the important responsibility of the country. What's more, the eldest prince has reached the age of eleven, and there is no fault, according to the rules of the ancestors, he is the prince. Even if you want to establish a prince, you should also set up a prince to argue, and the minister implores His Majesty to take back his order, and don't make a big mistake in a hurry. Situ Xu Xiang persuaded hard, and the courtiers behind him also nodded in agreement.
"Big mistake?"
Liu Hong snorted and sneered, pointed at the kneeling ministers and scolded angrily: "My country, when will it be your turn to point fingers!" Who dares to let me take back my life, and directly punish me for the crime of disobedience, drag it down, and be killed with a rod! β
I have to say that Liu Hong is still very majestic in the hearts of the ministers, and when he spoke, ninety percent of the courtiers were silent and did not dare to say anything more, and those who knew the current affairs chose to shut up, lest they anger the Son of Heaven again.
Liu Hong's temperament, they all know it, absolutely one is one. Who dared to contradict him, the dead and exiled officials, there were not a thousand, but hundreds.
Xu Xiang straightened up, and Cui Lie, the captain who was next to him, saw this, as if he knew what he was going to do, and quickly pulled down his shirt, shook his head slightly, and signaled not to touch the son of heaven again.
Xu Xiang smiled at this former friend, but there were some things he had to do.
The crown on his head was taken off and placed on the gray ink floor in the hall, and he kowtowed and bowed again: "Your Majesty, even if you want to kill the old minister with a cane, the old minister still won't agree." The ministers are the three dukes, and they should be the models of hundreds of officials, and the ministers are not for their own selfishness, but for the sake of the rivers and mountains of the Han Dynasty, as well as the thousands of people and subjects in the world. If killing the old minister can calm the anger in His Majesty's heart and take back his life, the old minister is willing to die. β
After speaking, Xu Xiang knocked his head heavily, lay his hands on the ground, and never got up again.
He Jin on the other side saw Xu Xiang risking death to admonish, and this really went to his heart. He is the uncle of the prince Liu Wei, and he thought that when his nephew inherited the throne in the future, he would be able to be more beautiful as before. Who would have thought that the emperor would suddenly come to such a hand.
Liu Wei can't be the crown prince, and the one who harms the most interests belongs to him, the general who is his uncle!
He Jin also wanted to persuade, but when he saw Liu Hong's monarchical momentum, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to put a fart, and stood there honestly, he could only pin his mind on Xu Xiang, hoping that this old brother would not be cowardly and fight to the death with the emperor.
Liu Hong's words, even if he gave the ministers a step, now Xu Xiang still dares to contradict him, this is also to make him angry, he has not killed people for a long time, is it useless to be the son of heaven?
Liu Hong's face was gloomy, and he was about to ask the guards outside the palace to pull Xu Xiang out and kill him with a cane, but at this time, Yuan Kui, Taichangqing, came out of the ranks, knelt beside Xu Xiang, and pleaded and said: "Your Majesty, Xu Situ is also worried about state affairs, so he angered Your Majesty." Please forgive your Majesty for his more than 30 years of service to the country. β
Yuan Kui came out to speak, and Cui Lie, as the captain, also stood up and pleaded for Xu Xiang: "The minister also implores Your Majesty to spare Xu Situ this time." β
"Your Majesty, spare Xu Situ!" For a time, the protΓ©gΓ©s of the Cui and Yuan families in the court all came out to intercede.
Seeing this posture, He Jin couldn't sit still, and came out of the column to clasp his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the matter of establishing a prince is related to the fortunes of the country, and the minister also asks Your Majesty to consider it before deciding." β
The courtiers who had already risen to join the ranks knelt on the ground again.
Looking at the courtiers kneeling and pleading below, Liu Hong's eyes were even more angry, and there were bursts of colic in his heart. As the Son of Heaven, when has he ever been threatened by hundreds of officials,
"Okay, do you really think I won't dare to kill you?"
Liu Hong laughed angrily, shouted three good words in a row, and the ministers kneeling below gradually turned upside down in his eyes, his sick face became extremely hideous and terrifying at this moment, and he gritted his teeth and roared angrily: "Come on, pull these guys out for me and kill them, kill ......"
Burst!
Before he could finish the rest of his words, a mouthful of jet-black blood spurted out of his mouth. Suddenly, Liu Hong was almost unsteady on his feet, and after a whirlwind in his mind, he only felt that his eyes were dark, and his whole body no longer obeyed the call, and fell straight back on the throne.
There were all kinds of noisy shouts in his ears, and he couldn't hear what he was shouting.
When he opened his eyes again, Liu Hong was already in the Qiquan Palace where he was recuperating.
"Your Majesty, you are awake." Seeing Liu Hong wake up, Zhang Rang, who had been waiting in front of the couch, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his words were full of concern.
Liu Hong struggled to move his body, but found that he couldn't exert his strength at all. He had been in a similar situation before, but he was fine after waking up, unlike this time, he could already feel that the qi in his body seemed to be about to run out.
An inexplicable panic struck the young man's heart.
"Father, tell me, am I dying?" Liu Hong squirmed his lips, and his eyes gradually became sloppy.
The imperial doctor had told him to restrain his emotions and not to indulge in alcohol, but Liu Hong didn't listen, feeling that he was young and indulged a few times, there shouldn't be too much of a problem.
Now, there is finally retribution.
"Your Majesty, why are you talking such nonsense, don't scare yourself. You, you will definitely be able to live a long life, and you will be fine after two days of cultivation. β
The old eunuch almost burst into tears.
"Go, send someone to tell Lu Qing that I don't want to raise my head, let him come back."
A horse galloped out from the northern suburbs, and the clattering hooves of the horse were crisp on the official road.
Shout!
Before he could run out of the northern suburbs, a feathered arrow pierced his skull.
