Chapter 708 Complete (2)
The civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty were silent for a moment, especially after Gao Yuwang said in a high-pitched voice: "At the fourth watch, the common man Murong Heng, the sinner Zhang Guangyu, He Zhaohe Zhixing and his son have all been executed!" Those who knew that the capital was about to change drastically still knew nothing about it, and those who didn't know what happened until after listening to the imperial decree didn't even dare to speak out.

The eldest prince looked down on the reactions of civil and military officials from a high position above Dan Majesty, and the complacency in his eyes instantly overflowed. He said that there is no one in this world who is really not afraid of death. If he had known today, he would have You shouldn't be so polite to these people!

Xu Jinnian stood closest to the eldest prince, so he could see all his triumphs, and he couldn't help cursing to himself, what an idiot, shouldn't you put on a heartbroken and well-deserved look at this time? You look so happy, you don't even bother to do superficial efforts, is it because you want everyone to know the disgrace you have received as the crown prince?
But under the eyes of everyone, he couldn't persuade the eldest prince, so he could only show him with his eyes, don't get too complacent, after all, he is still just the prince now, and he hasn't really sat on the supreme seat.

Fortunately, the eldest prince was not so stupid as to be hopeless. Upon receiving Xu Jinnian's expression, he felt excited, and immediately put on a saddened expression, saying: "My father has always placed high hopes on the common man Murong Heng. Overcoming all difficulties, he wanted to establish him as the prince. Who knew that he was not satisfied, and he couldn't even wait for a longer time. He committed the crime of killing his father and the king. He knew that he was stupid and could not bear the responsibility. The emperor fell ill, and the orphan had no choice but to stand up and try his best to share the worries of the father, and I also asked all the ministers and workers to serve as loyal to the father, as if they were assisting and loyal to the father.

Xu Jinnian was secretly satisfied with these words, and was the first to knelt down on the mountain and shouted: "I swear to die to be loyal to the emperor and His Royal Highness, my emperor, long live, long live, and His Royal Highness, a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!" !"

Rushing to formally confirm the crown prince's position, so that the possibility of another accident in the next few days will be much smaller.

Seeing that Duke An knelt down first, some people in the crowd also knelt down one after another, mainly the ten or so ministers who followed Duke Ango before and were suppressed by the emperor so that they hardly had a foothold in the court, Originally, they had prepared for the worst, and soon the emperor should deal with them. Although they would not be able to kill their heads, at least they would be prepared to exile their whole family. Such a big piece of pie fell and hit them!

There is also a small number of neutral factions who never form cliques. Anyway, it doesn't make much difference to them who becomes the prince.

It's a pity that this part of the people is only a minority after all, and more ministers are still standing. Although they dare not speak out and question the First Prince's position as the crown prince, the attitude of resistance is very obvious.

Seeing this, the eldest prince's eyes, which had been swollen and muddy due to years of indulging in alcohol and debauchery, were buffed with fighting spirit. They were suddenly filled with cruelty. His gaze wandered around the crowd, and finally landed on Lu Wenting. He used his brother-in-law to kill a chicken to show the monkey. Anyway, he hated everyone in Dingguo's mansion to the bone.

After all, Xu Jinnian is more seasoned, knowing that this is not the time to blindly be fierce and fierce, so he gave the first prince a stern look, and then glanced at Gao Yuwang, signaling Gao Yuwang to also kneel down to pay homage to the prince, so that those unconvinced ministers We all know that it is a holy will to make the eldest prince the crown prince.

Gao Yuwang had no choice but to kneel down, and shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, His Royal Highness, a thousand years ago!"

More than half of the civil and military officials knelt down. After all, whether it was out of his own intention or involuntary, Gao Yuwang's attitude often represented the attitude of the emperor, or his situation also represented the emperor's attitude. Considering the current situation of the emperor, those who know the current affairs are heroes. They travel thousands of miles to make the life of themselves and their family better, not to die in vain!
There was color in the eyes of the First Prince again, especially after seeing that King Duan was also among the kneeling people.

He cleared his throat and was about to speak when one of the standing servants stood up and said loudly: "My minister Qi Zuo, please see the emperor!"

The eldest prince showed a sullen expression, and wanted to reprimand the person who spoke, but for a moment he couldn't think of who the other party was. Seeing this, Xu Jinnian hurriedly said: "Didn't Mr. He hear that just now? The palace general rests, if Mr. He has something to play, you can hand over the memorial first, and wait for the imperial pen and ink to approve it!"

While talking, he already hated Mr. He so badly that he dared to ruin the important affairs of his country. Let's see how he will deal with you afterwards!
Master He said boldly and fearlessly: "Your Majesty was walking like a dragon and a tiger yesterday. Why did he become so sick in just one night that he didn't even get out of bed? But at this moment, earth-shaking changes took place in the court, and other changes Forget it, the crown prince is the foundation of the country, if you don't hear that the emperor Jinkou canonized the eldest prince, please forgive me for not accepting it!"

"Bold!" Before he could say a word, the First Prince shouted angrily: "Are you questioning that Prince Gu is disgraceful?"

Master He said calmly: "I never said such a thing, the eldest prince said it himself!"

"You!" The eldest prince was at a loss for words for a while, with a livid face, he didn't know how to refute him.

Xu Jinnian was so angry that he cursed secretly that it was really useless, and it was fine if he couldn't help with other things, but now he couldn't even quarrel with others... so he had to go out on his own, and said with a half-smile: "Listen to Mr. He It means that you treat the emperor's imperial decree as nothing, and you must hear the emperor's words with your own ears before you believe that the imperial edict is from the holy will? Then the Duke of this country can intercede with the crown prince on your behalf and allow you to face the emperor in person, but If there is something good or bad about the dragon body, then the responsibility is not up to Mr. He, a mere servant!"

Hearing the words, Mr. He first showed hesitation, but soon the hesitation became resolute, and he said loudly: "I am loyal to the emperor, the sun and the moon can learn from the world, and today I just want to be convinced. If Sheng Gong is really good or bad because I insist on seeing you, as long as I can get a clear understanding, I will die without complaint!"

These words were so sonorous and passionate that the listeners were full of enthusiasm. At that moment, another four or five ministers stood up and said in unison: "I am asking to go to the Holy Spirit together with Mr. He. As long as I can understand, I will die." And no complaints!"

Now not only the eldest prince was furious, but Xu Jinnian couldn't help becoming furious. These hateful civil servants would love to see the truth of death. If it weren't for the public eyes, he would have had them dragged out and chopped down. Why do you need to talk nonsense with them here?

But Master He and others' request was reasonable, and he couldn't find anything to refute for a while, so he could only look at Gao Yuwang and ask Gao Yuwang to deal with them.
