Chapter 353 Murder beat
The civil and military officials with clear ranks were silent for a moment, only the cadenced and feminine voice echoed in Fengtian Hall.
As the lingering sound dissipated, needles could be heard in the hall.
However, rather than awe, behind the silence in the hall is actually more stunned and puzzled.
The current Holy Majesty has not been to the court for more than ten years, and during these ten years, the court was turbulent and the struggle was extremely fierce.
The important ministers of the five mansions and six ministries, and the princes of the noble relatives have all gone through ups and downs. Except for the dozen or so evergreen trees in the court, a large part of the courtiers have never even seen what the emperor looks like.
Why did you suddenly go to court now?
But the doubts are doubts, from the capable officials to the ministers who enter the palace to discuss affairs, they basically have the skill of political literacy.
Although you may not know the whole thing by taking a glimpse, you can at least get a general idea.
The emperor suddenly came to the court after such a long time, there must be some deep meaning, first he performed the state ceremony for Xiang Xiang, opened the Meridian Gate to welcome him, and then added the words of remonstrance from General Huaiyuan
No one discussed, and no one transmitted voice, but there was eye contact.
Officials of the same yamen, friends of the same party looked at each other, and they all saw something meaningful in the eyes of others.
Some people gloated and looked at the prince behind the low table with python horns under the hall.
Some people are full of worries.
Some people have nothing to do with themselves.
Compared to the different expressions of the courtiers below, Li Yucheng, who was sitting behind the low table in the python corner, could not see the slightest abnormality on his face, and there was even a hint of joy in his eyes.
In the silent hall, Li Yucheng stood up from behind the desk, adjusted his python robe, and then moved sideways to the first row of nobles, waiting for his father to arrive.
Suddenly,
"Crack! Crack! Crack!"
The sound of three clean whips came from the screen behind the hall to show salute.
Clatter—
The prince took the lead, and all the courtiers in the hall fell to their knees.
"da"
"da"
"da"
Red walls and green tiles are Optimus Prime, and white jade railings land on the floor.
The silent hall, solemn and solemn, all the courtiers were kneeling on the ground, no one made a sound, no one raised their heads, only the sound of a gentle footstep echoed.
finally,
Footsteps stopped in front of the golden throne.
Did not follow a large group of followers according to the Great Flame Ritual System,
independent of the temple,
Li Yaoxuan's cloudy and indifferent gaze swept across the officials below, and finally landed on the only one standing below, the black dragon robe.
“.”
The eyes of both sides collided with His Highness Fengtian for a moment,
There was a smile in Li Yaoxuan's eyes, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised:
【What, you're not polite? 】
Hearing the words, Xu Yinhe lowered his eyes, did not reply, and bowed his hands.
Seeing this, Li Yaoxuan shook his head boredly, and sat back on the golden throne.
As he sat down, the picket censor coughed lightly.
"My emperor, long live long live long live!"
"My emperor, long live long live long live!"
All civil and military officials kneeling on the ground shouted in unison, and after the sound was heard on the round field outside Fengtian Hall, the thousands of court officials and forbidden soldiers with knives all knelt down and shouted.
Long live Shanhu! Resound through the sky!
Leaning lightly on the dragon chair, Li Yaoxuan overlooked the familiar yet unfamiliar scene below, and found that he had almost forgotten the feeling of sitting on the throne.
I don't know when, the already wrinkled palms are caressing the carvings on the dragon chair that have not changed for thousands of years.
Li Yaoxuan suddenly laughed, with a sigh in his voice:
【Xu Xiang, approaching dusk, I suddenly miss the time when we stood together under this hall. 】
“.”
Hearing Transsion slowly raised his eyes, Xu Yinhe's eyes were a bit complicated when he saw the young man who was full of vigor and vigor in those days, who was already in his twilight years.
Be quiet a little,
He sighed softly:
【Chen, I miss you too. 】
When Li Yaoxuan heard the other party actually answering, a smile appeared on his old and wrinkled face:
【Do you miss it? If you do it again, I won't allow you to sit still. 】
Xu Yinhe shook his head, did not answer, and reminded:
【Your Majesty, you should not come here to reminisce with your ministers, it is time to discuss matters with your life. 】
Li Yaoxuan rubbed the palm of the dragon chair for a moment, the turbidity in his eyes disappeared instantly, he took a deep look at the other party, and said loudly:
"Everyone loves you in peace."
The voice was vigorous and powerful, resounding inside and outside the palace without any signs of decay.
Clatter—
After all the civil and military officials got up one after another, Li Yaoxuan glanced at the prince who stood in the first row of honor, and said in a calm voice:
"Yucheng, I have worked hard in these years of living in the deep palace."
Hearing this, Li Yucheng immediately took a step sideways, saluted meticulously, and replied:
"Father, sharing your worries is a child's duty."
Li Yaoxuan leaned on the dragon chair, looked down at the eldest son below, and snorted inexplicably:
"very nice."
As he spoke, he raised a finger and pointed to the python-horned low table placed under the steps:
"What are you doing standing up, sit back."
“.”
Li Yucheng's eyes were slightly taken aback, and his words were hesitant:
"Father, you."
Li Yaoxuan's old face showed a smile:
"I'm exhausted physically and mentally, and I don't have the heart to deal with government affairs. I just came over to take a look. You continue."
Speaking, Li Yaoxuan no longer cared about the hesitation in the prince's eyes, and asked the chief **** in front of the palace:
"Mingyou, where did the discussion go?"
The chief **** in front of the palace, wearing a python robe, immediately bowed and saluted:
"Returning to Your Majesty, just now General Huaiyuan appealed to the Second Prince to lead the army."
"oh?"
Li Yaoxuan twitched his drooping eyelids: "Don't I, the emperor, know that he can't lead the army after the establishment of the government? This...is a big taboo."
said,
He looked at Xu Yinhe, His Highness, and asked with a smile:
"Xu Xiang, what do you think of this matter?"
Xu Yinhe's complexion remained unchanged, he raised his eyes and glanced at the other party, and said in a deep voice:
"There must be a gully in the heart of the Holy One on this matter, and it is inconvenient for me to say more."
Hearing this reply, Li Yaoxuan tapped the dragon chair twice with his fingertips, slightly dissatisfied:
"I just want to hear Xu Xiang's opinion, no need to hesitate, just speak out."
"Second Highness, according to the law, should abolish the status of prince."
“.”
After the words fell, there was no sound in the hall.
Since the Zongmen Tianxia evolved into the Imperial Dynasty, there have been occasional disputes between the emperor and the ministers, but in this generation, it has basically become a battle between two emperors.
It's just that an emperor still wears the skin of a prime minister.
Therefore, the conversation between the emperor and the prime minister seemed to be just a reference, but it naturally changed when it was heard by the court officials.
They all try to figure out the connotation of this short discourse.
With the current level of cultivation, it is impossible for the sage to fail to hear the discussion of the court, so choosing to come out at this time, and the first sentence after sitting down is to mention the matter of the second prince is already an expression of attitude.
But Xu Xiang, who was originally neutral, turned his face on this matter.
What does this mean?
Is it to discuss the matter as it stands or to make use of it?
Different political senses made many important ministers have different plans and plans in their hearts.
"Xu Xiang's words are justified."
After a brief silence, Li Yaoxuan echoed, but then turned around: "Mr. Xu, how should the important officials of the court hide and raise private troops according to the law of Yan?"
"According to the law of Great Yan, the nine clans shall be punished."
Paused for a moment, Xu Yinhe raised his eyes and looked directly at Li Yaoxuan's eyes:
"I just don't know who the important minister mentioned by the Holy One is?"
“.”
Hearing this, almost all the officials present, including Prince Li Yucheng, lowered their heads.
However, before Li Yaoxuan could speak, a middle-aged Confucian scholar wearing the official robe of a royal official stood up from below, with an angry voice:
"Xu Piff, what kind of wolf with a big tail are you pretending to be, with hundreds of thousands of black scales?"
As he speaks,
Time suddenly becomes very slow at this moment,
Amidst the angry voice of Doctor Yushi, the eyes of Li Yaoxuan and Xu Yinhe collided again.
Then,
boom!
The censor doctor's head exploded without any warning.
Bright red blood splashed on the dark and solemn vermilion pillars and floor tiles. The headless corpse stood for a moment, then collapsed to the ground. The bright red blood gushed out from the uneven neck and flowed all over the ground.
Who played the hand?
Most of the high-ranking officials above the court have been dispatched abroad. Now the most important official in Fengtian Temple is Yuan Chu, but they can't find out who did it.
Although it is impossible to determine who it is, this method of concealing Yuan Chu can already be locked on the only two people.
The emperor and the prime minister.
The blood-stained Fengtian Temple was instantly chilled to the extreme, and most of the people present were silent.
Except for a few evergreens, which they have grown accustomed to.
Isn't it just killing people in front of the hall? These two masters have done a lot in the past, and they have been blown into meat paste to make people's faces.
Li Yaoxuan looked at the headless imperial doctor with pity in his eyes, and said calmly:
"Come here, find out who did it."
The words fall,
The commander-in-chief of the imperial army quietly appeared outside the Fengtian Hall, his eyes locked on the back of the black dragon robe with cold eyes, and walked towards him slowly while holding the knife.
Sensing the lock of the Qi machine, Xu Yinhe didn't show the slightest expression, and stood there quietly as before.
In silence,
The rubbing sound of the armor worn by the commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army was particularly eye-catching.
噗—
Suddenly a cold light flashed, and the blade came out of its sheath, with a faint blue qi glow.
Pfft!
The blade of the commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army directly pierced through the chest of a young official.
Insert, pull out, sheath.
After finishing these, the commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army bowed his hands expressionlessly:
"Return to Your Majesty, the murderer has been executed."
"Go down."
Li Yaoxuan looked at the two corpses in the hall, and sighed softly:
"They are all colleagues, so why plot against them, what do you think, Prime Minister Xu?"
Xu Yinhe's voice was indifferent:
"What the emperor said is very true."
The disappearance of the two lives represented a direct turning point in the matter. The commander of the Forbidden Army waved his hand, and the two corpses disappeared in an instant with overflowing blood.
After finishing all this, he walked out of Fengtianmen with a blank face, leaving only a group of court officials who remained silent.
Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, let alone having two kings in court.
Li Yaoxuan suddenly glanced sideways at the prince below:
"Yucheng, what are you doing in a daze?
"Dealing with government affairs, your second brother is still waiting for your decision."
“.”
Li Yucheng glanced at his father above him, then at His Highness Xu Xiang, took a deep breath, his fingertips under his sleeve trembled, and bowed his hands:
"Yes, father."
After finishing speaking, he walked slowly towards the low python corner table under his only remaining steps.
The pace was very slow, and the look in his eyes was very pale.
The death of the censor doctor and the official department just now, although it seems like a victim of the conflict between his father and the teacher, is actually just an accident.
Although the father was asking his teacher about Li Zhaoyuan's attitude towards military power, he was actually targeting him.
Although Li Zhaoyuan recruited soldiers from the people, how did the people recruit them?
Walk away from your husband and Shuli without cultivation? Or those ragtag warriors?
The only way to quickly form an army is to pass through the sect.
And let the private army of the Zongmen enter the northern border openly with the order of the court?
Whether it is out of selfishness or for the ideal and righteousness in the teacher's heart, it is impossible for him to agree.
The teacher refused. As a royal family, it is naturally impossible for him to stand on the same side with him, at least not in front of his father.
The father was forcing him to watch the second younger brother grow up in the north.
A type of beating.
It seems that his behavior of contacting the imperial sister in private really made the imperial father a little unhappy.
While thinking,
Li Yucheng sat back on the low python corner table with a flat face, and said in a low voice:
"General Huaiyuan."
The middle-aged man in the martial robe immediately bowed his hands:
"The minister is here."
Li Yucheng looked at the other party and took a deep breath:
"Second brother has already established a government and set up teeth. Although leading troops abroad is not in line with the ancestral system, he is in a hurry to follow the power. Wild disasters and natural disasters have swept across the three continents in the north, and the common people are suffering. Since the second brother has such a sincere heart, he naturally cannot let his heart be chilled. I wonder if the general knows what kind of organization he wants?"
General Huaiyuan lowered his eyes when he heard the words:
"Return to Your Highness, Second Highness is on the battlefield for the first time, no matter how many soldiers there are, only two towns are needed."
As soon as the voice came out,
Xu Yinhe raised his eyes to look at Li Yaoxuan who was on the golden throne, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
Two towns, 100,000 people.
Let the army of 100,000 sects enter the northern border, Li Yaoxuan, what do you want to do?
Li Yaoxuan nodded slightly at Xu Yinhe, his cloudy eyes were as calm as water, and he couldn't see what he was thinking at all.
Li Yucheng, who was sitting behind the low table, naturally noticed the teacher's change, so he didn't answer immediately.
He wanted to wait until someone from the Prime Minister's Party spoke out against it.
Although it cannot be refused, it should be possible to deduct the number of people.
But it is a pity that there is no sound in Fengtian Hall, and no officials discuss this matter.
Seeing this scene, Li Yucheng sighed from the bottom of his heart:
"Since all the ministers have no objection, let's settle the matter like this. Give the two towns soldiers and horses, and seal the military title to Yuan."
General Huaiyuan was overjoyed when he heard the words, half kneeled on the ground, bowed his hands and said:
"Minister, take orders."
Li Yucheng smiled gently:
"Although the second brother has experience in the army, he is still not superficial compared to the imperial sister. I also hope that General Huaiyuan will protect the second brother well during his trip to the north."
General Huaiyuan replied in a deep voice:
"Minister, use the power of death."
After the words fell, General Huaiyuan stood back in the queue.
Seeing this, the chief **** in front of the hall ordered the last person who coughed softly just now:
"Jiuqing, what do you have to say?"
Hearing this, a minister whispered:
"Nothing happened."
Li Yaoxuan heard this and suddenly said:
"In this case, Yucheng, you continue to preside over the government, I am tired."
After finishing speaking, he stood up from the dragon chair and walked towards the side hall.
But halfway through, Li Yaoxuan suddenly stopped, looked back at his old friends in the audience, and said in a low voice:
"Xu Xiang, come with me, let me know if you have anything to do."
