Chapter 65
"It's really unkind to squeeze Eunuch Hong like this." Liuli glared at Xiao Shiyi. This man has an exquisite heart. In his chess game, every seemingly insignificant piece will be moved.
Get up and make the most of it.
"It's not good to be cautious when doing things. I'm trying to push him out of kindness." Xiao Shiyi smiled heartlessly.
"what's next?"
"You can watch the show next."
Then the good show was staged like this...
The first wave: First, there were rumors among the people. There was a posthumous edict from the late emperor, which stated that the succession to the throne was related to the ten kings Xiao Yu. The current emperor was conspiring to usurp the throne. After that, the rumor about the celestial omen about the son of the ten kings was revived, saying
The emperor will change hands, and the rightful emperor will return. Finally, because of Wen Ningzhi's incident, the people believed that the upper beam was not straight and the lower beam was crooked. It was because the emperor was not the right one that the officials below were treacherous and evil.
The second wave: The main hall of the upper court is called Xuanzheng Hall. There are steps on the hall, and a dragon table and a dragon chair are placed on it. A jade seal is placed on the table, and there is an upright and bright plaque above the chair. After going to court every day, the Xuanzheng Hall is locked
, the jade seal will be put away, and palace guards will stand guard at each door. If a clever thief sneaks into the palace, he will not steal anywhere in the Xuanzheng Palace, because after nightfall, there will be no important people or things inside. But a certain person
It was a dark and windy night, and it was still raining. The small door of the Xuanzheng Palace, which was connected to another palace and where the emperor walked every day, opened quietly. A person with a light figure and a familiar face.
Under the leadership of another person, he secretly sneaked into the Xuanzheng Palace, and then quickly exited. It took very little time, and no one was disturbed. The palace was majestic, as if no one had ever sneaked in. A piece of information was thrown into the middle of the officials.
Xiao Zuo stood behind the Long Bookcase, and his anger made his face, which was still handsome and majestic despite his age, turn red, and even his facial features became distorted and ferocious.
"Look, this is my Great Zhao Kingdom! This is my people! This is my reputation!" He pointed at the officials below, "The country's high salary supports you, but you all
What do you do for food? Rumors are spreading and people's hearts are unstable, but you are indifferent? The criticism of me is an attack on the government, and it is an attack on Zhao. Do you have any regulations to stop it? If things go on like this, the foundation of the country will be shaken, you
Are you going to watch a big chaos unfold before your eyes?"
"I believe that rumors only stop with the wise. Your Majesty, you don't need to pay attention to them." Tian Xia said with a smile on his face.
Xiao Zuo lost all grace and casually picked up the imperial pen on the Long Book Table and hit Tian Xia on the head. As expected of the emperor on horseback, his hand was very accurate and hit Tian Xia's forehead and heart. Fortunately, it was too far away. After all, it didn't matter.
Strength.
"Stop talking nonsense, and stop trying to shirk responsibility for your own incompetence! How can this rumor last a day or two? If it is suppressed, it will spread again. If it is suppressed, it will spread again. What does this mean? It means that someone is secretly doing it.
I am planning to usurp the throne. The country is about to be in chaos. As my ministers and pillars of Zhao, do you think it will be okay? Yes, the emperor has been changed and you are still your ministers. You have nothing to do.
But it has something to do with me! I will never allow the existence of those who are harmful to the country. How can I see the country in turmoil and the people have no way to live? If you have the right, the emperor will guard the country, and the emperor will die. If the country is in chaos, I will die!" But Xiao Zuo was still angry!
Let’s hit one place, “What’s the late emperor’s edict? What’s the son of the ten kings? What’s my name? It’s not fair. There’s something new this morning. What’s the saying my jade seal is fake!”…
The ministers' brows jumped because they had indeed heard that there were people with eyes in their noses, and it was said that the fake jade seal had flaws on the dragon's eyes. But who dared to hold the jade seal and look at it carefully, even though they also had it as soon as the rumor came out.
The snacks are itchy.
"How come you are all mute? Aren't you usually very sweet-talking? Come back and find a way for me to catch the person behind this rumor. Because he is evil-minded and wants to steal the country! Steal my position! Steal my life! Steal the great nation.
Zhao Zhizhi! Stealing the people's hearts and not uniting! Stealing the world! Huh, it's so well compiled. Legacy? Legacy! If there is a legacy, why don't I know about it? If I am not in the right position, how can I dare to stand on this bright and upright plaque?
Underneath!" He said, pointing angrily at the plaque on his head.
Squeak! In the silence, just when Xiao Zuocai pointed to the top of his head, the upright and bright plaque suddenly made a strange noise. No one saw it, but it was someone among the generals. A small cold light flashed in his hand, hitting the
Somewhere on the corner of the plaque. But everyone heard this sound, as if it sounded in their own hearts, and a small crack was quickly knocked out in their hearts.
Everyone in the hall froze, as if they had been cast a immobilization spell at the same time. So many people couldn't help but hold their breath. So many pairs of eyes, all staring at the dead thing with big characters engraved on it. So many people.
My heart stopped beating almost at the same time. All my mind and attention were firmly attracted by that crisp sound. As I listened, the sound became louder and louder. With my eyes, the plaque became more and more crooked.
Until it could no longer be supported from the top, and slowly and slowly tilted down.
"Your Majesty, be careful!" Everyone was stunned. Hong Changzhi, who was standing next to Dan Bi, was the first to react and warn.
However, the plaque above the head was also smashed down, from slow to fast!
The men of the Xiao family respect martial arts. No matter how bad Xiao Zuo is, he is still a man who has waded through the mountains of corpses and seas of blood to seize the throne. His martial arts is not top-notch, but he is not a weak person. Although the upright and bright plaque is extremely heavy, coupled with
Xiao Zuo couldn't withstand the force of falling from above, but he could dodge it.
I don't know if he was shocked or something, but he didn't move anyway. A fierce look flashed in Hong Changzhi's eyes, and he flew forward with all his strength. The force he used was too great, not only did he roll over from the Long Bookcase with Xiao Zuo in his arms,
The book table was also brought down, and the royal pen and cinnabar on it, the memorial, the jade seal that represented the authentic imperial power, and the brocade box that protected it all rolled to the ground and fell among the officials.
A loud noise came, mixed with countless exclamations.
The upright and bright plaque fell to the ground and broke into two parts between the two characters "Guangming". The force of its fall knocked over the dragon chair, the long overturned dragon table, the collapsed Danbi, and raised fine dust.
, the sacred place where the emperor inquired about politics every day was turned into a shambles.
"Your Majesty, how are you?" Hong Changzhi tried his best to protect Xiao Zuo, so Xiao Zuo was fine, but he himself was beaten to a bloody head and his arm was broken. However, he was still nervous and asked immediately.
However, no one noticed him. Because there was another thing that fell to the ground with the plaque. It was a scroll, made of special paper that was not old and could not be copied at all. The red rope tied to it was damaged by age and earthquakes.
It broke, causing it to stretch out when it slowly rolled down from the Danbi. In full view of everyone, by chance, it stopped at Xiao Zuo's feet. Around it, stood officials who were concerned about the emperor's safety.
.
It was an imperial edict. The jade seal imprint on it was still bright red and the handwriting was still clear. Everyone could see it clearly. Some veterans of the two dynasties recognized the handwriting as that of the late emperor. There were many words written on the imperial edict, but the most important thing was
There are only seven: it is said that it is located in the Tenth King Xiao Yu.
Deathly silence.
It is said that it is located in the Tenth King Xiao Yu!
Xiao Zuo felt as if a hole had been drilled in his heart, deep into an endless and nameless abyss. Just now, he had sworn that there was no will. But a moment later, it was as if the will of the gods had been touched, like someone who had died somewhere.
The emperor moved his fingers, and not only did the upright plaque fall angrily, but the legendary edict was actually placed on his head every day.
Is this true? It’s true! He really doesn’t know! Is it true that he is in a wrong position and will fall?
What to do now? With so many people watching with their own eyes, he can't kill anyone, nor can he stop his officials from suspecting, nor can he remove this thorn in their hearts. He has wanted to be just and righteous in his life, but it turns out that he has never been able to do so?
No, no, no! But what can he do! How will he react!
Someone moved, but it was not Xiao Zuo, but the famous direct minister Tian Xia. He squatted down, picked up the jade seal that rolled out of the brocade box and happened to hit his feet, and looked at it face to face carefully. His nose was touching.
He looked at the jade seal for so long that everyone's eyes were focused on him again.
As if four seasons had passed in an instant, he finally put down his hand, his face turned pale, but his voice was like a hammer, driving those words into everyone's hearts, "There is really a flaw in the dragon's eye."
Shouldn't everyone make a loud noise? But in the end, it became even quieter. Because they all thought in their hearts: Is the jade seal fake? Where is it really?
After a long time, the old minister, Weiyuan Marquis Wang Yue, coughed and said, "The emperor is afraid of being injured, so he should go back to the harem first and send another imperial doctor." He then pointed to several cabinet elders and said, "Take care of this place and go to the royal study room.
Come on." Then he bowed to Xiao Zuo, who was unable to react, his face was covered in cold sweat, and he still suspected that he was having a nightmare, "Your Majesty, why don't you retreat from the court?"
Xiao Zuo finally regained consciousness for a moment. He waved his hand feebly, but did not forget to add, "Today, private discussions between the court and the public are strictly prohibited. Violators will be punished by the Nine Clan."
The ministers looked at each other in shock. Except for the person who was just named, they all left without saying a word. These ministers, like the tide washing on the coast, quickly retreated. But Xiao Zuo suddenly had a strange idea: when they come back, what will happen to them?
Will you obey his holy orders?
After sitting on the throne for so many years, he spent countless efforts to feel that he was more stable. But why did the foundation loosen in an instant? It seemed that he would fall down all of a sudden and never get up again!
…………………………
…………………………
…………66 has something to say…………
Phew, the prelude to Xiao Zuo's official misfortune has sounded.
After so much preparation, Liuli and Shiyi seemed to have done nothing, just waiting to close the net at this time.
