Apex War God - Chapter 417
[Chapter 417: My Lord Kills His Nine Clans]
Golden Temple.
Civil and military officials gathered here.
According to the past practice, civil servants are on the left, and military officials are on the right. They listen to the emperor’s holy words quietly, listen to other officials’ words, and discuss state affairs.
Today, all civil and military officials are here, like a vegetable market, noisy and arguing endlessly, where there is no solemnity of an important place for the imperial court to discuss matters.
“The eldest prince Tang Qinggeng has grown up for a long time. He is the eldest son, and he was appointed as the crown prince. He became the new emperor in accordance with the destiny. Why don’t you respect the holy will and the words of the ancients, and want to abolish the elders and establish the younger ones? Isn’t it absurd?” an old official shouted loudly.
This old official was wearing an official uniform, and he had already reached the age of seventy, with white hair and white beard, his face wrinkled like bark, only his eyes were still piercing, he was the old grand master Hua who had already retired from the court and the public.
Grand Master Hua is a veteran of two generations. He has been out of the palace for ten years, but he still has considerable influence in the court.
“The old grand master’s words are wrong. If the eldest prince has been established as the crown prince, we will naturally be convinced and do our best to help him ascend the throne, but the emperor has not named him the crown prince. The emperor is probably worried that the eldest prince is not enough to take on the heavy responsibility of the prince. Gu Er has been dragging on until now.” A minister responded to Mr. Hua Tai’s words, and then he shook the holy paper in his hand and said: “This is the emperor’s holy paper will, and he has already intended to make His Royal Highness the second prince the crown prince. He died unexpectedly and didn’t have time to announce the matter, everyone can take a closer look, is there anything wrong with the dragon seal?”
This person is Shang Liyou, Minister of the Household Department, about forty-five years old, definitely the youngest existence among the six departments.
“Sir Shang, who doesn’t know that you and the second prince are related by blood, you have to take out an imperial decree that we don’t know about, do you really think we are so easy to deceive?” Someone immediately questioned.
“I think His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince is good. He has already obtained the qualification to enter Mount Emei. After he returns from practice, it would be good to pass the throne to him.”
“I support the First Prince even more, it’s justified.”
“Support the second prince, the emperor’s will will never be false.”
…
In the past two days, all the civil and military officials didn’t think about dealing with the emperor’s funeral, they were all arguing about who would take over the throne, and they were all on the verge of fighting.
Among these officials, apart from the old grand master, Song Xiang, Wu Sanhao, and Qiao Sanye were the most important.
Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty, the emperor’s most powerful ministers during his lifetime, at least half of the civil servants were his favorite students.
Needless to say, Wu Sanhao, he led 100,000 troops to besiege the city, and as long as he gave an order, he could flatten the royal city. Fortunately, he never spoke, and was stared at by Mr. Qiao without expressing any opinions.
Third Master Qiao is more inclined towards the eldest prince in his heart, the eldest prince has a kind heart, the only pity is that he lacks wrists, he is too honest, if he sits on the throne of emperor, he may not be able to overwhelm the officials.
The second prince’s character is not good, the third prince and the fourth prince have been killed by the rebels, the fifth prince escaped by luck, he suffers from age, and the backstage support is not enough.
At present, the dispute between the First Prince and the Second Prince is the most intense, and they have received the most support. After they express their views, the final direction may be decided.
“Everyone, stop arguing and listen to the opinions of Prime Minister Song and Lord Wu.” An official said.
Now it is finally time to enter the main event, which prince will get the approval of these top ministers?
Wu Sanhao spoke first and said, “Which prince should be
The emperor and the king have no objections, as long as it is Tang’s blood.
”
What he said undoubtedly showed that he was in the middle, and no prince would support it.
“Hmph, I think the eldest prince is very suitable. He is the eldest son and should be the new emperor. I have never seen the so-called emperor’s will, so I can’t believe it.” Third Master Qiao snorted dissatisfiedly. Wu Sanhao can support the First Prince.
“Teacher Qiao, this statement is wrong. Just because you haven’t seen it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. It’s a holy metaphor, and we can’t violate it.” Shang Liyou responded neither soft nor hard.
Third Master Qiao is the emperor’s teacher, and his status is very respected. Unfortunately, he has no real power in his hands. Now that the emperor is gone, Shang Liyou will not be afraid of him.

“Lord Shang, everyone knows how the second prince’s character compares with the first prince’s. Besides, you are still the second prince’s uncle. It is only natural for you to protect him, but this old man will never agree.” Third Master Qiao said while blowing his beard .
“Teacher Qiao, we old ministers should agree with the emperor’s decision. I support the second prince.” Song Lirui said flatly.
After he spoke, many civil servants began to agree with him, which shows how powerful his appeal is.
After Luo Gongming, the great general, was missing from the military attache’s side, there were not many people who could speak up, and their opinions were ignored instead.
Civil officials have the final say on many important matters in the court.
Cao Jianda hesitated for a moment and said, “Should we listen to the Queen’s opinion?”
Just as his words fell, someone said: “I don’t think there is any need for it. Our Medicine King Pavilion supports His Royal Highness the Second Prince.”
At some point, Yao Lingyu, the master of the Yaowang Pavilion, came in from outside the hall to speak, followed by a mysterious man in a cloak.
Yao Yanhai is dead, the Yaowang Pavilion has not been dismantled, their position in Daxia has not been shaken, and Yao Lingyu’s words still carry quite a bit of weight.
“You guys don’t follow the ancient precepts and play the qin indiscriminately, only the eldest prince can be the emperor.” The old grand master Hua said very excitedly.
It may be that Mrs. Hua was too excited, couldn’t catch her breath, her eyes began to turn white, and she passed out on the spot.
This time, many people were frightened.
“Old Master Hua is not young anymore, he should have taken care of him at home for thousands of years, so why not get involved in the important affairs of the court?” Someone sneered.
Mr. Qiao and Mrs. Hua had feuds, but those were old things, and now they were both worried about important affairs in the court. Seeing someone laughing at Mrs. Hua so much, they threw the two jade balls in his hand towards him. The official slammed it and shouted: “You dare to ridicule the old minister, do you think that we old bones are dead, so that you can control the government and overthrow the government and the people?”
The official was in great pain from being hit by Mr. Qiao’s jade ball. He wanted to scold him but didn’t dare to scold him. Wu Sanhao looked at him with sharp eyes and panicked.
“Your Majesty’s body is still cold, you are making a scene here, don’t you feel ashamed?” Yang Zhennan, who had never spoken, said quietly.
Although he is an Earl, he no longer has an official position. In fact, he can’t discuss matters in the court. He is only allowed to stay here because of his meritorious service in protecting the emperor.
Everyone’s eyes fell on Yang Zhennan, and they didn’t know how to answer for a while.
Yao Lingyu and the Yang family had a mortal feud, he said loudly: “A country cannot live without a king for a day, only by electing a king can he preside over the emperor’s funeral. I suggest that His Royal Highness the Second Prince be enthroned immediately.” Then he Pointing to Yang Zhennan and questioning: “Yang Zhennan, I heard that you are the first
Do you know that someone rebelled?
”
Yang Zhennan didn’t look at Yao Lingyu and replied: “Yes.”
“Did you force your way into the palace that night?” Yao Lingyu asked again.
“Yes!” Yang Zhennan replied with his usual expression, he knew in his heart that the other party was probably here to find fault.
“It’s good if you admit it. In fact, you are also a traitor. Everyone will take him down quickly.” Yao Lingyu said with certainty.
Everyone was dumbfounded this time.
Yao Lingyu was really not good at splashing this dirty water. He tried his best to escort him, but was almost killed, and even accused him of being a traitor on the spot. Do you think they are mentally retarded?
“If you want to avenge your father, just say, why bother accusing me of this kind of crime, do you think everyone is blind?” Yang Zhennan responded domineeringly.
“Hehe, do you think I said that on purpose?” Yao Lingyu laughed, and then said to the mysterious person next to him: “Jiang Kang, come and testify for me.”
The mysterious man stood up and took off his cloak, revealing his true face. He is a middle-aged man with his face cut open. The hideous wound is shocking to see. Anyone who sees it will feel scared and disgusted. Heart.
Jiang Kang knelt down on the spot and said, “Jiang Kang pays his respects to all the adults.”
“Jiang Kang, Director of Fu’an Prince’s Mansion?” Song Xiang asked doubtfully.
“That’s right, the villain is the steward of Prince Fu’an’s mansion. The villain didn’t know about the prince’s rebellion, but the night before the rebellion, I saw Mr. Yang and the prince meet in private, and vaguely heard that the prince asked him to It was supposed to co-operate with others and drive away all the royal family. After the villain heard this, he was so scared that he fled the palace overnight, but he was soon caught by the prince, cut off my face, and imprisoned me. The Master of the Medicine Pavilion will save you, and I ask you all to learn from me.” Jiang Kang said tremblingly.
“Yang Zhennan, what else can you say?” Yao Lingyu questioned Yang Zhennan again.
“Yao Lingyu, you have a problem with your brain.” Yang Zhennan pointed at Yao Lingyu nonchalantly.
“Yang Zhennan!” Yao Lingyu’s eyes were about to burst into flames, and he said to the others: “Jiang Kang is the chief steward of Fu’an Palace, don’t you believe his words?”
“Everyone knows that my Yang family is at odds with King Fu’an, and you still use this matter to blame me. I have to say that you really have a problem with your brain.” Yang Zhennan emphasized again.
Others also thought that Yao Lingyu didn’t do a good job.
“No, it’s not that the prince is at odds with you. All this is a bitter scheme between you and the prince. The prince is also used by you. You want to be the emperor.” Jiang Kang said loudly.
Now everyone’s minds were shaken.
This time it is true that the Yang family has the most limelight. If the Yang family wants to be in charge, it will not be difficult.
Song Lirui said to Wu Sanhao: “Prince Wu, no matter whether the truth is true or not, please take him down before we talk about it.”
“That’s right, Yang Zhennan is very suspicious.” Shang Liyou quickly echoed.
Immediately afterwards, several people responded, all pointing their finger at Yang Zhennan.
Yang Zhennan frowned, straightened his body and said, “I, Yang Zhennan, have a clear conscience.”
“Since that’s the case, then let me put you in custody first, and let you go after you clear your name.” Wu Sanhao said.
At this time, a voice came from outside the door saying: “Whoever dares to touch my father’s hair, my lord will punish his nine clans!”
