Chapter 562: Fighting with reason

Li Ju died of poisoning, and Li Guan urgently summoned all the ministers to court.

In the court, Li Guan stood under the empty dragon chaise and announced the shocking and shocking news in public.

After hearing this, the ministers knelt down and cried everywhere.

Many ministers were crying and heartbroken.

Whether they were really sad about Li Ju's death or clapping their hands behind their backs, they had to cry at this time.

The more you cry, the more you can show their loyalty.

Zhou Neng was so crying that he almost fainted on the ground. He raised his head with difficulty, looked at Li Guan, and choked and said, "Your Majesty was poisoned, the murderer was crazy, his crime was unforgivable, and he was not to be cherished. Please ask Your Majesty to severely punish the real murderer!"

Many other ministers cried and said, "Please punish the real murderer severely!"

Li Guan's eyes were wet and red, and she murmured: "Father...Father died of poison after taking Uncle Seventeen's Longyuan Pill..."

Zhou Neng said with confidence: "The King of Wu is the real murderer who poisoned His Majesty. His Royal Highness should immediately arrest the King of Wu and throw him into a death row!"

Before he finished speaking, Tao Yuan said loudly: "Duke Xuan made a conclusion now, right?"

Liang Ping, Duke of Xunguo, intervened to Li Guan and said, "Your Highness, I also think that the King of Wu has no reason to poison His Majesty. There must be something strange about this matter!"

Duke Qing Liao Tong and Duke Xing Chen Mu both intervened and bowed, saying, "I think that Duke Xunguo is reasonable, please let Your Highness observe clearly!"

For a time, many ministers stood up one after another and questioned the incident of Li Yu poisoning Li Ju.

Li Yu is Tao Yuan’s prospective son-in-law, and it is understandable that Tao Yuan helps Li Yu speak.

Liang Ping had just worked with Li Yu to fight against the Xifan Army together. It is understandable that he was standing on Li Yu's side.

But the other ministers who spoke for Li Yu had no personal relationship with Li Yu.

It’s not because of how popular Li Yu is. On the contrary, many ministers dislike Li Yu because of his previous misconduct.

The reason why I talk to him now is that I really feel that something is strange.

When doing things alone, you must always be logical.

Li Yu poisoned His Majesty, and he had only one purpose, which was to seize the throne.

But the problem is that Li Yu returned to Beijing alone, rather than the capital with a army of 500,000.

Does he think that after poisoning Li Ju, he could successfully obtain the throne without a single soldier?

Isn't this nonsense?

So, even if Li Yu poisons Li Ju, he will never be able to get the throne. So why does he still have to do this?

Is your brain watered up?

Can a person with a brain in his mind defeat the 800,000 Xifan Army?

Li Guan obviously didn't expect that so many founding heroes would stand on Li Yu's side, thinking that something was wrong.

He hesitated and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Zhou Neng glanced at everyone around him and said loudly: "The prince has made it very clear that His Majesty died of poison after taking King Wu's Longyuan Pill. This is the case that the prince who is present can testify, and Eunuch Hu and others can also testify. People, evidence and physical evidence are there, which can be said to be as iron evidence as a mountain. Can you still turn a blind eye to these iron evidence?"

Tao Yuan's eyes turned and looked at Yuan Heng, the Minister of the Honglu Temple.

He said: "Mr. Yuan has seen the Dragon Yuan Pill that King of Wu has offered to His Majesty. Please tell me if that Dragon Yuan Pill is poisonous or not?"

Yuan Heng frowned.

To be honest, whether there is poison in the Dragon Yuan Pill can be seen by looking at it?

He shook his head and said, "I don't know!"

Seeing that everyone present's eyes fell on him, Yuan Heng sighed secretly and added: "At that time, the officials could not see that it was poisonous, nor did they smell it, it contained a highly toxic smell!"

Zhou Neng said unconvincedly: "There are countless poisons in the world, and there are countless colorless and tasteless people. How can they be used as evidence by just taking a few glances?"

Tao Yuan nodded and said, "Mr. Yuan cannot prove that the Dragon Yuan Pill must be non-toxic, but who can prove that the Dragon Yuan Pill must be poisonous?"

"Crown Prince and Eunuch Hu can all testify!"

Instead of following Zhou Neng's words, Tao Yuan looked at Yuan Heng and asked: "Mr. Yuan, is there any poison in the world that can be poisoned after one day, two days, or even longer?"

"Of course there is!"

Yuan Heng nodded heavily.

Zhou Neng said anxiously: "Duke Zhenguo, you are making a point of reason!"

"This is better than just convicting a prince of death without investigating nothing clearly!"

"Why shouldn't he die if the King of Wu killed His Majesty?"

"Duke Xuan wants to show real evidence!"

"Your Highness, Eunuch Hu and others are witnesses!"

"But Lord Yuan just said that there is indeed a very poison in the world that occurs after a day or two or even longer!"

So, how can you be sure that the poison in Your Majesty must be from the Dragon Yuan Pill?

After talking, I went around again.

Zhou Neng was so angry that his face turned red and his neck was thick, but he couldn't do anything about Tao Yuan.

Li Guan first looked at Tao Yuan who was struggling with reason, and then looked at other ministers. Many ministers nodded, as if they agreed with Tao Yuan's point of view.

He didn't expect that there would be so many ministers in the court, all standing on Li Yu's side.

For a moment, he didn't know what to do.

Zhou Neng's thoughts were circling, and he felt that he could not continue to argue about this matter because he could not achieve a result.

He raised his head and said, "The country cannot be without a king for a day! Now that your Majesty is killed, the prince should inherit the throne as soon as possible!"

No one in the ministers present opposed this matter.

Li Guan is the crown prince and the crown prince.

Now that the emperor is killed and the prince succeeds to the throne, it is natural and there is nothing to say.

Zhou Neng continued: "There is another thing. The prince should send a good general to the Kingdom of Saro as soon as possible to take over the 500,000 capital army to prevent changes from happening in the army!"

Li Guan nodded.

That's right!

The army of 500,000 must be taken into his pocket as soon as possible.

He asked, "This palace intends to appoint Shang Yan as the commander of the entire army. What does Duke Xuan think?"

Zhou Neng quickly kowtowed forward and said loudly: "The Prince's Holy Wisdom! General Shang has made great contributions to saving the emperor and is loyal to His Highness the Prince. This time, he will definitely defeat the Xifan army in the Saluo Kingdom and promote the prestige of our Great Zhou Kingdom!"

When Li Guan heard this, he looked happy and couldn't wait to say, "Okay! This matter is settled!"

He was afraid that someone would stand up and express his objection, so he quickly made a decision and decided on the matter.

Looking at Li Guan, who couldn't hide his joy, Tao Yuan couldn't tell what it felt like.

Your Majesty died suddenly, can the soldiers in front not be affected?

At this time, the first thing you think about is not how to stabilize the morale of the soldiers ahead, but is rushing to seize the military power from the King of Wu.

The short-sightedness and narrow-mindedness are really sad.
