In the side hall, at about half past eight in the night, about fifty people gathered. The identities are: University Scholar, Six Ministries and Nine Qings, Hanlin, Kedao Official, Governor of the Five Military Governors' Mansion, and Imperial Family. They sat in chairs in twos and threes.

In the gorgeous side hall, the lights are bright, and the figures are one after another.

In the eyes of the neutrals, they only came to attend the funeral of the Son of Heaven in Yongxing and support the crown prince to ascend the throne. The Father dies and the Son succeeds, this is a matter of course! The only doubt is that the crown prince is only 13 years old and cannot be in charge for the time being.

However, Peng Shijun, the head of the household, suddenly accused the Yongxing Son of Heaven of being in the wrong position, which caused an uproar among everyone!

And the statement of the university scholar Xiao Pi added fuel to the fire in the situation at this time!

Over the years, the country and the people have been safe, and the soldiers of the Zhou Empire have been overwhelming! The Son of Heaven Yongxing has the name of a virtuous monarch. However, even if there has been a whitewashing of public opinion over the years, all officials cannot avoid the fact that Jia Huan killed the king!

So, based on this logic, strictly speaking, is the throne of the Son of Heaven in Yongxing really legitimate?

This question came to the minds of many officials present.

…

…

The king of Beijing was dissolved, sitting at the head of the military ministers, and looked coldly at Peng Shijun, the household servant Liu Anyi, the right attendant of the ministry, Peng Wei, and the governor of the five armies, the three people of the imperial family: King Wei, Ning Ke, King of Shu, and Ning Shuo, Duke of Liang.

and Xiao Pi, who echoed him.

In that year, the palace of the king of Han was confiscated, the king of Jin was killed, and the whole family of the king of Chu died in Lingnan. The façade of the royal family is in the palace of King Wu. The remaining princes, the King of Song, have been deposed. But I don't want King Wei to give up. It is also mixed with Ning Shuo, the son of King Jin.

Jia Zheng was very old at this time, a little old, and concerned about the development of the situation. Although he is not very good at politics, he also knows that if the prince cannot ascend the throne, the Jia family is afraid that there will be trouble.

Brother Huan'er is afraid that he is still in Jinling, and he just received the news!

Hu Xuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Li Si, the imperial historian of Zuodu, made eye contact. Hu Xuan walked out, arched his hand to the ministers, and then said: "Bachelor Xiao and Peng Zhangmin are ridiculous! What is positive and what is chaos? The throne of the Son of Heaven in Yongxing was elected by the ministers! ”

The emperor elected by the ministers is not legitimate? Are you here to be funny?

Hu Xuan was sixty-one years old at the time, and although he was promoted by sycophancy, he was able to rank in the top two in high school, and there was no problem with his IQ. One word to the point!

Separate Jia Huan from Yongxing Tianzi. Jia Huan's murder of the monarch is not fake. However, the Son of Heaven took the throne and went through the procedure. Moreover, when it was first established, although Qi Zhongtang slightly crossed the procedure, he still made up for the queen mother's decree afterwards.

Zhu Shizhong, the neutral servant of the Ministry of Officials, Liu Shilang of the Ministry of Industry and others all nodded slightly and spoke up. The atmosphere in the side hall changed.

…

…

At this time, Qu Wei, the bachelor of Hanlin and the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, spoke out to support his teacher Xiao Pi, and said: "This official was watching coldly in the palace that day, don't you know what is going on with Tingtui?" The ministers were all coerced by Jia Huan. How can I do the number? ”

This is the truth at the time.

On the same day, Jia Huan appeared in the Imperial Palace, and on the condition that he would not be in the Yongxing Dynasty, the hundred officials dispelled their doubts. It's hard to say whether there is an element of coercion or not.

Walking in the south study, Wei Yuanzhi, a bachelor in Hanlin and the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said coldly: "Qu Shilang has a mouth, and if he doesn't count, he won't count?" When Qi Zhongtang was in the court that day, why didn't you say it? ”

After scolding Qu Wei, Wei Yuanzhi said again, "Peng Shijun, since ancient times, I haven't heard of anything that can be done with my mouth!" In the eleven years of the reign of the Son of Heaven, this dynasty can be called a prosperous era. If today's corpse is not cold, you will support the king? In this way, the old man will be killed first! ”

Speak loudly!

Since ancient times, naming names and surnames is basically equivalent to scolding. Peng Shijun's face changed color slightly. At this time, Zhan Chenghou sneered, pulled out the sword at his waist, and said, "15,000 soldiers of my cavalry battalion are fighting in the city. Did Wei Shilang think that the general's knife was unfavorable? ”

Since Jia Huan took charge of the military in the Yongxing Dynasty, in addition to the Jinyi Guard, the Bannerman Guard, and the Twelve Guards have been reformed into three battalions: the cavalry battalion, the infantry battalion, and the Shenji battalion. Fifteen thousand men in each battalion. Led by the Admiral of the Nine Gates.

The three battalions are the garrison troops outside the Beijing camp in Beijing. At this time, the elite army in Beijing was basically taken away by Shen Qian and Zhang Sishui. The fifteen thousand people in the hands of Zhancheng Hou can be described as a trump card!

This is also Peng Shijun's greatest confidence in daring to "stir up trouble".

"Presumptuous!" The scholar Zeng Jin sent the table hard, the tea bowl on the table jumped, and he reprimanded: "My generation is discussing national affairs, where is there a place for you to intervene as a martial artist?" Stand back! ”

Champa waited for the reprimand's expression to be extremely unnatural. But, after all, he put away the sword in his hand and stepped aside.

The situation in the side hall was at a stalemate.

…

…

The quarrel of the ministers in the side hall of the Qinzheng Hall soon spread to the dormitory of the Heart Cultivation Hall behind.

In the gorgeous palace room, Ning Xi, the son of Yongxing, was lying flat on the bed, still without breath. Eunuch Yuan, the imperial doctor and others knelt on the ground and waited.

The beautiful faces of Queen Zhen and Ning Xiao rose and fell in the bright lights. Neither spoke.

Prince Ning Yan nervously grabbed his mother's hand, timidly and anxiously asked for help: "Auntie..." In his heart, he knew that he wanted to become the Son of Heaven like his father.

Empress Zhen looked at Ning Xiao inquiringly and said, "Eldest princess, what now?" "She prepared for the worst. However, I really didn't expect that someone would really jump out. I want to support the king. She knew that the military power of the imperial court had always been in Jia Huan's hands. Since ancient times, the barrel of a gun has been out of power. What to do now?

Ning Xiao groaned in her heart: There are really people who jump out to make trouble! The mantis nodded slightly, and said to Queen Zhen: "Queen, I'll go out and take a look." He touched the prince's head again, "Yan'er, no matter what happens, don't be afraid." ”

The commander of the guard division in front of the palace is Xie Whale. He is a descendant of Jia Huan. It is enough to protect the Daming Palace here.

"Hmm." Ning Yan nodded convincingly, and watched the imperial aunt leave the dormitory.

…

…

Princess Ning Xiao of Yongqing held a court force in her hand. She expressed her support for the crown prince Ning Yan's accession to the throne, which could affect the attitude of some courtiers. Of course, all coups ultimately rely on military strength to speak.

The ministers in the side hall are arguing fiercely, on the one hand, it is certainly the power of the civil official group at work. On the other hand, it's because everyone hasn't completely torn their faces yet! Ruling Jaefu Zeng Jin is not a strong bachelor. Peng Shijun, Xiao Pi and others are still in the stage of "public opinion building".

Ning Xiao walked slowly in the corridor of the temple, preoccupied.

Shen Qian, Zhang Sishui led the army out to fight, how could Jia Huan not have the corresponding arrangement? However, at this time, the worst situation really happened, and she was in it, how could she not be nervous at all?

"Princess, princess..., letter from Jinling." The maid Wan'er came in quickly from outside the palace.
