Chapter 279 Long time no see

In Weiyang Palace, most of the court officials knelt on the ground and lay silently.

The leaders were Chen Kuan and others.

They are either auxiliary ministers or prime ministers. The emperor who has never ruled can lock them up, but it is difficult to dismiss them. Therefore, these people can still come to court during the grand dynasty meeting.

Besides, today, Emperor Yuan Zhao felt confident and did not want to hide from them anymore.

He originally thought that Li Xin would appear in the Weiyang Palace early in the morning to shock the court and clarify Yuyu. At that time, all these traitors would be blocked by Li Xin alone, but he did not expect that Li Xin would not have arrived at the grand ceremony that began in Chen Shichu.

So, the current scene came about.

Chen Kuan and others listed the emperor's lack of virtue, especially the death of the Chu family was all ruling on the emperor.

However, in the Weiyang Palace, he did not dare to directly ask the emperor to abdicate, but instead asked the emperor to cultivate virtue and return the government to the court. The court had the auxiliary ministers to govern the government, and the empress dowager supervised the country. The emperor himself was well received in the palace and accepted the teachings of the saints and then took office after his virtue was complete.

Now the reputation of Emperor Yuan Zhao has been extremely bad. In the eyes of the court and the public, it is not impossible to depose the emperor, so the requests of Chen Kuan and others are already "very reasonable" requirements, and the emperor has no reason not to agree.

But Emperor Yuan Zhao, who was sitting on the throne, never let go.

So, there was a scene where most of the officials kneeled in the Weiyang Palace to petition.

There were only seven or eight people who did not kneel down, including Zhou Shunde, the prefect of Jingzhao.

Yan Shouzhuo knelt in front, and he kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty used Tianmujian to find out the mistakes that have been made by me over the years, and they will be left to the Three Jurisdictions. No matter what the punishment is, I will all recognize that those who should be demoted, those who should be dismissed, those who should be dismissed, the positions of the Shangshutai and the Censorate, can also be transferred to Fangxiu and others for the position of the Fangxiu."

"I am not the one who seeks power."

Yan Sikong kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty has been ineffective for one year, but you have lost your morality. If you do not practice perfectly, you will be a king and a father. The world may be in chaos. I beg you to return to power in the court. After that, your Majesty will kill you and cut you, and you will kill me."

Chen Kuan and the other two prime ministers, with their disciples and former officials, knelt on the ground with a heavy voice.

"I, please kill me!"

Emperor Yuan Zhao sat on the throne, his face flushed.

He gritted his teeth and said, "The Jingzhao Mansion has already investigated the matter clearly. As for the matter in the palace, maybe I have nothing to do with it. You just put this matter on my head without any discretion. Do you take me as a king and father seriously at all?"

"Are all the ministers kneeling in the palace today? Are they all unfaithful and unfilial?"

No one answered.

After a long silence in the hall, Chen Kuan looked up at Zhou Shunde, the prefect of Jingzhao who was still standing, and said in a muffled voice: "Your Majesty, this prefect of Jingzhao has probably been blinded by the desire for power and cannot remember the teachings of the saints. What found in Jingzhao Prefecture will only be what Your Majesty is willing to see."

Zhou Shunde glared at Chen Kuan.

"Chen Kuan, I am the prime minister and the superior of Jingzhao Mansion. I have never spoken badly to you. The things I investigated in Jingzhao Mansion have always been full of evidence and evidence. You are just talking nonsense, and you want to slander my Jingzhao Mansion?"

"That day, my Jingzhao Mansion examined the bandits and bandits. When interrogated, I learned that they went to kill more than 30 people in the Chu family. It was someone who ordered them. Chen Xiang knew better than anyone else in his heart!"

Chen Kuan knelt on the ground and said in a muffled voice: "Of course, someone instructed the bandits to do it. We can't ask the imperial guards of the Great Jin to massacre the people of the Great Jin!"

"I heard that after everything happened to the noble man Chu, His Majesty once said in person that he wanted to break up the three tribes of noble man Chu."

Speaking of this, he didn't say anything more.

After the nobleman Chu appeared in Weiyang Palace for no reason, Emperor Yuan Zhao was so angry that he did say that he wanted to the three tribes of nobleman Chu, but this was only said in private and never spread.

The emperor was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

"The sunny face is really a perfect ear. My whispers in the palace can also fall into the sunny face's ears!"

At this time, Chen Kuan no longer avoided anything. He said in a deep voice: "Since Your Majesty has said it, you should not be afraid of others knowing it."

It is not uncommon for palace servants to pass messages outside the palace. Whether in the Chengde Dynasty or the Taikang Dynasty, ministers will ask the emperor's close servants what the emperor said to them and then figure out the holy intentions. This is one of the important sources of income for the eunuchs and palace servants.

During the Chengde Dynasty, Emperor Chengde laughed at himself and said that he fartted in the palace and could be seen by everyone in half of the capital.

Emperor Yuan Zhao snorted angrily and gritted his teeth and said, "I have not taken charge of the rule yet, so I have to force me to return to power. According to your wishes, when will it be appropriate for me to take charge of the rule?"

Yan Shouzhuo knelt down and kowtowed, and said, "Emperor Zhao succeeded to the throne at the age of 24, and Emperor Jing succeeded to the throne at the age of 23. They are all wise rulers in their lifetime. After discussing, His Majesty is still young, and he should take charge of the government after he is 18 years old."

The emperor is fifteen years old this year. He could have taken power in another year, but the words of Sang Shou and Shou will have to wait for another three years.

Now, these civil officials have basically broken up with Emperor Yuan Zhao. They will never let Emperor Yuan Zhao take power in the real power, otherwise they will all have their heads to the ground. Now, it is only a delaying strategy to propose that the 18-year-old ruler.

If the plan is successful, these civil servants will be in charge of the government in the past three years. At that time, they will be placed in their own hands inside and outside the court. It will be much easier to depose the emperor than now.

Emperor Yuan Zhao took a deep breath, barely calmed down, turned to look at the Grand Governor Ji Lin, and said with a cold face: "The Grand Governor is the same as that?"

Ji Lin knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "I am in charge of military affairs and should not be involved in political affairs. Everything is decided by Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager."

At this time, the Grand Governor's Office did not object, but it was already supporting it.

The Grand Governor's Office had an unhappy relationship with Li Xin, and now the public opinion is no longer on the emperor's side. In addition, the civil servants are lobbying every day, and now the Grand Governor has some butt turned to the civil servant's side.

Emperor Yuan Zhao sneered: "How do I make a decision? Can you still listen to it?"

Ji Lin knelt on the ground, silent.

The atmosphere continued again.

At this time, a eunuch Xiao Huai, dressed in lilac clothes, ran to his godfather Xiao Zheng, and said a few words with his ears. Xiao Zheng frowned, walked to the emperor, and lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, Marquis Li is here."

Emperor Yuan Zhao's face was happy. Just as he was about to come in, he heard Xiao Zheng continue to say, "Your Majesty, Marquis Li... brought forty or fifty Yong'anmen that the Yulin Guards passed by. Now he has arrived at the gate of Weiyang Palace. What do you mean..."

In theory, no matter who it is, it is impossible to bring the imperial guards with you in court.

Emperor Yuan Zhao frowned first, then closed his eyes and spoke, "Let Master Li come in directly."

Xiao Zheng nodded and gestured to Xiao Huai.

Xiao Huai knew it and ran to the gate of Weiyang Palace and sang loudly.

"Teacher Xuan meets——"

This sing is loud and thin, very penetrating.

At the same time, the people kneeling in the front row in Weiyang Palace were shocked.

Chen Kuan even turned his head to look at Yan Shouzhuo, his eyes filled with shock and doubt.

Yan Sikong also frowned. At this time, all the civil servants had only one thought in their minds.

Why is he back?

While everyone was thinking, the Marquis Jing'an, wearing a purple court uniform, had already stepped into the Weiyang Palace.

Because there have been a lot of wind and snow in the past few days, Ai Xin's face turned red and her skin was a little rougher. However, he was tall and wearing a tall court suit and walking in the Weiyang Palace, with a very powerful aura.

Marquis Jing'an walked into Weiyang Palace and first knelt down to salute the emperor. Emperor Yuan Zhao quickly stood up and signaled him to avoid the gift.

After Madam Li got up, he turned around and looked at the civil servants who were kneeling all over the ground, with a bright smile on his face.

"Everyone."
