Chapter 618 The curtain ends!
Zhao Wulie stared at Zhao Dan, his feet staggering like he was drunk. He wanted to laugh, but he wanted to cry, but he couldn't laugh or cry.
Oh my God! Zhao Wulie had thought about many possibilities of being done, but he had never thought that such a scene would happen. Standing in the palace, he would challenge him and question him, the prince he personally chose!
Zhao Dan is not the best existence among his many descendants, nor is he his favorite existence. However, Zhao Wulie finally chose him as the imperial heir. Why? There is only one reason, that is, Zhao Wulie wants to use this method to show that as the emperor, he has the right to choose his heir.
In a sense, Zhao Dan is the person he is close to and trusted the most, because from the day Zhao Dan became the crown prince, he has not liked the old lady in the harem.
Therefore, Zhao Wulie's trust in Zhao Dan comes from the heart, and he also believes that as long as Zhao Dan's position as crown prince can be preserved, everyone in the Northern Yan court can feel the majesty and power of his Majesty.
However, today, now, Zhao Dan appeared in front of him in this way, making all the symbols of power he had been proud of before become meaningless...
The prince he personally selected stood up and accused him of believing that he was not competent for the emperor's position. What else could he say? How could the civil and military officials of Northern Yan not convinced?
The people he was closest to and trusted the most took him away, which showed that he had completely betrayed everyone and his emperor was over...
"Haha..." Zhao Wulie suddenly laughed. His figure was tall and majestic. He had great ambitions in his heart. He once swore that he would make Beiyan stronger again, and that the cavalry of Beiyan stepped out of the wasteland and stepped towards the warm and rich south...
He even thought about being a king who made achievements and was unprecedented. How confident and proud he was at that time...
But now! Everything is over. He has been an emperor for so many years, but in fact he has been a puppet for so many years. The government affairs of Beiyan were completely controlled by the old woman in the harem. The civil and military officials had no emperor in their hearts, only the queen mother!
The officials from other places had no emperor in their eyes, only the empress dowager, and the entire country of Northern Yan was the only one who followed the empress dowager.
Zhao Wulie chose the most fierce struggle for this. Now the result of the struggle has come out. The strength he has accumulated for so long is vulnerable. He may become the most cowardly and despised emperor in the history of Northern Yan...
"Zhao Dan, what good is that old woman giving you? Are you willing to do this? Do you know that even if he lets you take me and replace me, my today will be your tomorrow! Tsk, tsk, I really didn't expect you to be so kind of backbone, hehe, okay, I'm done, the time after that depends on you!" Zhao Wulie said lightly.
Zhao Dan's inner feelings were indescribable, but he did not show any sign of it. He said, "Father, I will never dare to offend my father. My son still has one sentence, that is, my father, you should go and apologize to my grandmother. My grandmother is kind. As long as your attitude is sincere, she will forgive you!"
Zhao Wulie said angrily: "Shut up! What do you know, you are such a traitor? I, Zhao Wulie, is the dignified His Majesty of Beiyan. I am already abolishing people in the world. My power is given to me by God!
I will kneel down like that old woman, waving her tail to beg for mercy? I, Zhao Wulie, will die, and I will never surrender!"
Zhao Wulie completely exploded, and his emotions could no longer be controlled. He was furious and hesitated all over his head because he knew in his heart that he was finished! Even if he kowtowed to Empress Dowager Xiang, he could not change the ending. Instead of doing this, he might as well be stubborn!
...
On the back mountain of the palace, Empress Dowager Xiang looked down coldly, looking at Zhao Wulie who was going crazy outside the Cining Palace, he sighed softly and looked around and said:
"Look, you can see clearly. This is your emperor, this is my Lord of Northern Yan! You civil and military ministers have all seen it clearly for me, have you seen it clearly?"
The civil and military ministers knelt on the ground and said in unison: "I am guilty of being a crime, but I can't help Your Majesty, which scares the Queen of Heaven!"
Empress Dowager Xiang waved her hand gently and said, "It's all like this, what should I do now? Can you have a charter for the ministers?"
Cen Jinshuang, a clerk of the Secretariat, stood up and said, "Reporting to the Empress Dowager, I think that Your Majesty has become crazy and deviated from the devil. Such a king has already broken his trust in the world. Today, many of our ministers and officials have seen the whole story! Such a king who has lost his virtue should be dismissed."
"We all have the same opinions as Lord Cen!" Immediately, many ministers stood up to express their loyalty. The matter has come to this point, and the situation has been settled. In addition to showing loyalty, any action is unnecessary!
Empress Dowager Xiang smiled gently and said, "It is easy to depose a king, but it is very difficult for us to choose a king again. Do you have any suggestions?"
Another prime minister, the Left Secretary Pushe, Wei Mingzhou, stood up and said, "Reporting to the Empress Dowager, I think that although Your Majesty is crazy and unruly, the Prince has not lost his morality! This time, if something happened to Your Majesty, the Prince can distinguish right from wrong and can decisively help the Queen of Heaven and persuade Your Majesty. It should be said that he has made great contributions.
Therefore, the poor ministers think that if the emperor is dismissed, the crown prince should be appointed as the emperor. This is so legitimate, and there will be no one in the world who will disobey..."
After Wei Mingzhou's statement, the ministers below immediately chattered and became confused! Obviously, everyone has a big disagreement on this issue. Some people support Wei Mingzhou and think what they say is reasonable.
But more people opposed Wei Mingzhou. Some of them were the hardcore of the queen. At this time, they felt that the time was ripe and were ready to persuade them to enter! The Queen Mother Xiang wanted to be the emperor, so the people below didn't know? If they could successfully persuade them to enter at this time, it would definitely be a great contribution, so many people were particularly eager for this!
Of course, the loyal ministers of the Zhao family still dominate. Except for Wei Mingzhou, most of the other prime ministers and most of the important members of the six ministries did not want to persuade them to advance. They just had differences in the candidates for the emperor.
The civil and military officials were very quarreling, and at this time the situation in the palace was settled! After the imperial edict of the Queen of Heaven continued, the emperor Zhao Wulie became a prisoner and was immediately captured by the Jinwu Guard and locked into the clan mansion. What was waiting for him was the throne to be deprived. The reign title of Beiyan belonging to him was coming to an end!
Empress Dowager Xiang was extremely cunning, and many ministers under her were talking about it. She heard it in her ears. She smiled and said nothing, and no one could see the joy and anger in her heart!
After a long time, her eyes suddenly turned to Lu Zheng and said, "Mr. Lu Zheng, you are a distinguished guest from afar. When you were in Dakang, you were known as the number one talented man. Your reputation is so high that no one in the world can surpass you.
Now, what should I see in Beiyan? In your eyes, what kind of person should be competent for the King of Beiyan?"
After Xiang Hou said this, the ministers who were talking about the audience immediately became quiet, and everyone turned their attention to Lu Zheng. Undoubtedly, Lu Zheng was just an outsider to Beiyan, but everyone was particularly concerned about what this outsider said.
For a time, Lu Zheng was very famous and had a great influence. In addition, through Lu Zheng's words, it is possible that the queen's true thoughts are now found. What step does she want to take?
Did she want to be emperor quickly or to continue to lay a solid foundation and then slowly make it happen? It has to be said that this woman's cunning is too deep, and even the ministers of Beiyan could not find out the true thoughts in her heart, so everyone was trembling and walking on thin ice.
Lu Zheng was secretly amused in his heart. Today he really watched a wonderful show. This old woman's calculations, methods and wisdom are first-class, which is really amazing. No wonder such an old woman can control the situation in Beiyan.
Lu Zheng’s only thought now is that this woman is too terrible, the situation in Beiyan is too sad, a country’s hen is so sad in the current world, because Beiyan originally had good resources and strong strength.
But Dakang has been very relaxed in recent years. Emperor Xinde is obsessed with asking for immortality and is unwilling to do political work. Dakang's national strength is becoming weaker. Under such circumstances, if Northern Yan can have democratic rise, they will soon have the strength to move south.
As long as Northern Yan accumulates enough strength and moves south, the situation of unification of the world will not be difficult to achieve. As a Dakang man, Lu Zheng really knows Dakang's weaknesses very well.
So Lu Zheng was very sorry, but unfortunately, in this situation in Beiyan, he slowly stood up, saluted respectfully at the Empress Dowager, and then said word by word:
"If the Empress Dowager wants to ask the foreign ministers, the foreign ministers can only say that according to the ethical principles, Your Majesty was deposed, and the Crown Prince Zhao Dan was not only correct, but also made contributions, and he should inherit the throne!
As the saying goes, the country cannot be without a king for a day. The empress dowager controls the universe and worrys about the country and the people. Make a decision by himself, so that all the subjects and people in the world can rest assured and everyone praises the virtues of the empress dowager!"
Lu Zheng's words are solemn and impeccable, but if you savor it carefully, you can tell that Lu Zheng is disdainful of Empress Dowager Xiang's ascend to the throne and become emperor, because he did not mention this possibility at all, and it was an ethical principle at the beginning, and his intention was very obvious.
Throughout history, where did women become kings? Empress Dowager Xiang wants to be independent and live a personal addiction. This is to go against history, the world, and the world!
Lu Zheng talked about a few words, but the meaning was very rich. Obviously, he did not follow the meaning of Empress Dowager Xiang! All the officials in Beiyan were silent, and almost everyone was sweating for Lu Zheng.
