Chapter 181: The Overlord is confused
And among the three factions, those officials who supported Xiang Yu were the happiest, and they were glad that they had not pressed the wrong treasure in their hearts. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"This edict must be fake, the emperor was already terminally ill at that time, how could he still write the edict soberly?" Those who did not support Xiang Yu questioned that this was a false edict.
"The emperor was indeed too sick to pick up a pen at that time, and the old slave transcribed it on his behalf after he dictated. If you don't believe it, you should know both of these seals, right? Zhang Rang showed the edict to the officials face on.
Everyone took a closer look, the two red seals on it were impressively printed on the edict, one was a person's thumb handprint, it was obvious that everyone knew that this was Emperor Xuanhe, no one could imitate it, because as we all know, although Emperor Xuanhe was not a ruler of the country, but he was indeed a talented person, not only with super high carpentry skills, but also with nine swirls on his right thumb fingerprint, when he was just born, the old emperor was surprised, which symbolized the respect of the ninety-five, and perhaps this is also the reason why the old emperor passed the throne to him later.
When everyone was still suspecting that there might be another person in the world with nine swirls on his hands, a big seal next to them made them unable to say half a sentence anymore. This is the seal of the legendary jade seal that only the kings of the Great Chu Dynasty knew where to place it and would only use it when passing on the throne.
Those ministers who supported the orthodoxy of the royal family were still a little unconvinced, and asked Han Shang, who was already stunned on the side, he was also an old minister, and he had seen the seal of the jade seal of the country a few times, and now when he saw this red seal again, he suddenly became speechless.
"How about Young Master Han, this heirloom jade seal, others don't know it, you must know it, right? Whether it's true or not, it's all up to you. Zhang Rangzhi said with a smug smile.
Han Shang nodded hatefully, shook his sleeves and stepped aside and couldn't say half a sentence anymore, no matter how much he defended this time, no matter how much he defended it, no one in front of the jade seal of the country could disobey the content of this edict.
Seeing Han Shang's deflated expression, Zhang Rang wanted to laugh, but now no one dared to raise any objections. Just when he thought that Xiang Yu was going to be the first emperor with a different surname in Southern Chu, Xiang Yu stood up and spoke.
"Ladies and gentlemen, although today General Manager Zhang took out this edict of Emperor Xuanhe and made it public, regardless of whether it is true or not, as far as I, Xiang Yu, am concerned, I absolutely do not agree to be the emperor."
As soon as Xiang Yu said this, the officials who had already shown a victory smile and supported Xiang Yu's faction on the side showed expressions of disbelief, and Zhang Rang even thought that Xiang Yu was crazy. No one would not love this great country and not love the throne of the king of this country, but now there is such a person, that is, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, those royalists all cast approving glances at him, and some of them still had hostile expressions towards him.
Xiang Yu continued: "As a citizen of Southern Chu, I swear allegiance to the emperor, but I still understand the principles of monarchs and ministers, I think that my limited ability is absolutely not able to assume the position of the king of a country, I am afraid that I will disappoint the emperor's spirit in the sky." However, I am willing to assist the young lord to ascend the throne, which is the orthodoxy of the real Southern Chu Dynasty. “
Some ministers applauded at the bottom, and those original royalists praised Xiang Yu's character of the concept of being a monarch and a minister.
Right Yin Zhao Rui was still desperately persuading on the side: "Xiang Bawang, you have to think clearly, what you are giving up now is the country of Southern Chu, don't you have a trace of heartbeat?" It's better to think twice, after all, the little prince is still young and ......"
"Thank you Lord Zhao for your kind reminder, Xiang Yu knows what he is doing, and the reason of the monarch and the minister really dare not go beyond it." Xiang Yu waved his hand and refused.
"This ......" Right Yin threw a look of help to Zhang Rang, the chief eunuch, Zhang Rang was already so angry that he couldn't speak at this time, turned his head and muttered something that others couldn't hear, maybe he was scolding Xiang Yu's eighteenth generation ancestor now, and he didn't discuss such a big matter, and a series of plans after this were all in vain.
In the end, there were some ministers who persuaded Xiang Yu to ascend the throne and become emperor, Xiang Yu could only put down his words, if anyone made him emperor again, he would sit on the throne and then give way to the little prince, and he would be the first auxiliary minister.
"I have made up my mind, you don't have to say more, tomorrow after the emperor is buried, the enthronement ceremony of the little prince will be held, and then please ask Manager Zhang to support it, okay, everyone will retire."
When everyone saw Xiang Yu say this, they had to look at me and I would look at you, and go back to their respective homes, Qu Zong couldn't understand what plans were being made in his father's eyes at this time, and he was going to go back and tell his father about it first.
Zhang Rang was still angry at this time, he saw that Xiang Yu was about to leave, and hurriedly stopped him, "Overlord, come over here, the old slave wants to discuss with you about the funeral of Emperor Xuanhe tomorrow." ”
Seeing Xiang Yu coming, Zhang Rang pulled him to the corner, and the first sentence was, "Overlord, you are confused!" ”
Xiang Yu said with a smile: "Manager Zhang, Xiang Yu is not smart in the first place, but it can't be said to be confused." ”
"Have you forgotten the plan we agreed upon? Why are you singing today? You let that seven-year-old doll be the emperor now, don't think you can control him, wait until he is full-fledged, beware that he will kill you. Zhang Rang said with emotion and a reproachful tone.
"It turns out that Manager Zhang is here for this, and I know that you are doing your best to help me for Xiang. But I also have my own thoughts, I hope that you will not ask more in the future, I promise that you will enjoy endless glory and wealth in the future. After speaking, Xiang Yu didn't pay attention to Zhang Rang, and rode away on the imperial horse in front of Emperor Xuanhe.
Zhang Rang looked at Xiang Yu, who was riding away, and a trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes, "It's just a matter of almost, I can succeed, it's a pity." ”
Zhang Rang didn't expect Xiang Yu to change overnight, he still showed a strong desire for the throne before, and begged him for advice three times and twice, but now the throne in his hands is incomprehensible.
"Gao Lishi, you go and find out who the overlord has been with recently, who he has seen, I want to know everything, remember not to detect others, go down."
"Nuo" Zhang made Gao Lishi, the most powerful little eunuch under his command, lower his head at this time, and the corner of his mouth showed an imperceptible evil smile.
The matter of the emperor is settled, but before that, the most nervous is Queen Jia in the harem, the news of the emperor's death yesterday made her face wash her face with tears on the surface, but she couldn't sleep happily. Thinking that her sister-in-law is the only heir of Emperor Xuanhe, the position of Emperor Nanchu is none other than Xiong Xie, then she is naturally Empress Dowager Jia. The little prince is already young, so he can take the opportunity to listen to the government and master the entire court.
