Chapter 138: The Eighteen-Year-Old Empress Dowager (6)
The ministers present actually didn't know how the emperor died, they were just ordered by the emperor to stay in the palace for lunch after the early dynasty and did not leave.
I didn't have time to eat lunch yet.
I received the news of the emperor's violent death.
After that, it was Taishi He who brought people out to preside over the overall situation, and even to this point.
It didn't take more than two hours in total.
If only I had known it would have been so.
They would rather not wait for this lunch, and have to go home early, as some military attaches do.
Is it easy to eat a meal?
It can be said that among the ministers present, except for He Taishi, none of them know the whole current situation, they just don't want to die or they are originally in the same vein as He Taishi, so they have been obeying He Taishi's orders in the court.
Now they heard Qiao Mu say that the emperor might have been killed by Taishi He, and the expression on his face did not change much, because not only Qiao Mu thought so, but some of them also thought so.
However, most of them did not dare to clearly stand up for or oppose at this time, so they could only stand obediently and stand still, and only a few ministers who clearly stood behind He Taishi, or who had already passed the anger with He Taishi, stood up.
"The Empress Dowager, please be cautious.
The matter of killing kings cannot be slandered.
Taishi has been loyal to the country for 30 years, not only the emperor of Qionghua, but also the emperor of the current dynasty.
More than half of the royal family has been taught by the Taishi.
He is also a veteran of the Three Dynasties and has a respected status.
How could it be possible to kill the king and rebel.
The affairs of the court, the affairs of the new emperor, should have been discussed by me and other officials, the empress dowager, as a daughter's family, it is better to be nosy, after all, the harem does not interfere with politics This sentence is also the legacy of the ancestors.
Besides, when it comes to blood relations.
The Empress Dowager, you are neither the mother of Emperor Qionghua, nor the grandmother of today, how qualified are you to come to decide the affairs of the new emperor, and you also brought five princes over, don't you want to rebel. ”
Qiao Mu listened to the words of Young Master Li, who had just stood up, and almost laughed angrily, and immediately scolded angrily: "What a shameless traitor!"
What does his status have to do with what he is doing now, besides, when will the new emperor only be discussed by you officials, and I have not yet decided on the royal family, how can I allow you to be presumptuous?
The affairs of the new emperor are both major events in the world.
It is also a major event for our royal family and clan.
How can you people who have no blood relationship decide, if it is all up to you to decide, then what is the use of us and other royal relatives and clans?
Besides, what qualifications do you and other ministers who have not even seen Emperor Taizu's posthumous training decide on the new emperor, I'm afraid you don't know yet, Emperor Taizu's posthumous training has a clear record, and those who are under the age of fourteen are not worthy of being emperors, that is to say, our dynasty will never allow the emergence of extremely young emperors.
The royal family is very clear about this matter.
If you don't believe it, wait for the time when the Imperial Sect will invite Emperor Taizu's testament.
You can also take a look at it out of the ordinary.
The five princes, I still trouble you to control the situation, and the specific situation will be discussed when Zongzheng comes. ”
Qiao Mu now has no soldiers and no power in her hands, so she is obviously not suitable to participate too much in the overall situation, so after saying this, she immediately turned her head and said to the five princes beside her, let them be the home court and control the situation.
Especially to control He Taishi.
As for Zongzheng, Zongzheng of this dynasty is inherited by the royal lineage, when the emperor is there, the emperor is the patriarch of the clan, and in the absence of the emperor, Zongzheng can also be regarded as the patriarch of the royal clan.
Now it is obvious that in the absence of the emperor, Zong Zheng can reluctantly serve as the head of the imperial family.
And has the right to propose candidates for the new emperor.
"Okay, please wait a moment for the Empress Dowager."
Although the five princes wanted to do it as soon as they came in, but if there was no arbor to speak, they still seemed a little unjustifiable, don't underestimate the unjustifiable, this is nothing now, but if it is brought forward in the future, it can still impeach them at any time.
Prudence is the essence of their life.
As for why Qiao Mufa ordered them to carry it out, it was of course because now that the emperor is dead, the queen mother is also dead, and her words can still be used in the entire palace.
She's not right.
Who can still be justified.
After getting permission, the five princes immediately waved their hands, signaling the elite soldiers on the side to quickly start moving, not to let them kill all the ministers in the hall, but just to let them control the ministers who had just spoken, as well as the He Taishi above, of course they could not be captured, and soon the soldiers brought by the princes and the general fought with the forbidden troops in the hall who obeyed He Taishi's orders.
At this time, He Taishi, who was standing on the edge of the dragon chair, was also a little anxious, seeing that the forbidden army on his side was about to be defeated, he hurriedly took out two things from his pocket and lifted them up, and said loudly:
"You all stop the officer.
Look what this is, this is His Majesty's personal sword and blood edict, and this official has not rebelled.
I didn't make any decisions privately.
Everything this official is doing now is following the will of the first emperor, but the first emperor was too seriously injured at that time to do anything else.
It was too late to make a formal edict.
That's why I'm like that.
Your Majesty is worried that you will use the Taizu's legacy as an excuse to prevent His Majesty's only heir from inheriting the throne, causing the throne to fall aside, which is why I ......"
"Don't listen to his nonsense, if this thing is true, how could he not have taken it out earlier, and we haven't seen where His Majesty is until now, let alone how His Majesty died, all the soldiers listen to the order, hurry up and take down Master He and them."
When a person dies, the sword is not just something that can be obtained casually, and there are also blood edicts. ”
Not to mention that the five princes present didn't believe what Master He said at all, even if they did, then they couldn't stop now, things had already come to this point, of course, they could only do it endlessly.
What's more, the level of the ancestors' testament is much higher than the emperor's blood edict who doesn't know the truth or falsehood, how can anyone who doesn't follow the ancestors' testament and obey this blood edict who doesn't know the truth or falsehood, a emperor who is only seventeen years old and has been an emperor for less than a year can have any majesty to make others obey his blood edict.
Isn't that hilarious?
Because of the insistence of several princes, it was naturally impossible for those soldiers brought over by those princes to stop, and when Zong Zheng, who had just received the news, led the clan personnel to rush to the side of the court and government hall through the Nanhua Gate, the situation in the hall was basically calmed down, not only He Taishi had been caught, but the little prince was also sent back.
Take care of those nurses.
"Did Your Majesty really die?
I don't think the new emperor is in a hurry, let's take a look at Your Majesty's dragon body first, so as to determine whether Your Majesty was murdered by some people! ”
Zong Zheng understood the specific situation, and after taking a look at the blood edict again, he immediately put forward a relatively pertinent suggestion.
Look at the body first, and then talk about it, and only after reading the body can you determine whether the emperor died violently or was killed by someone.
At this moment, Taishi He, who had already been detained, suddenly struggled very excitedly:
"Don't, never.
Do not go to see His Majesty's remains. ”
