poisonous woman

Chapter 531
After Ye Ying and Ye Xiao settled down in the palace, Rong Zhao followed Xiao Junjue into the city, and did not return to the Chu Palace at that time, but directly entered the palace.

King Qi fell, and King Chu had millions of troops. None of the people in the court who could only flatter him dared to say that this was against the rules. Instead, everyone said that King Chu was needed to preside over the overall situation.

Xiao Jun sits in the court hall with a sword and a golden horse, and even wears a saber.You know, there is a rule in the palace that no one is allowed to carry a sword except the guards of the Imperial Guard.

The little emperor was still in his position, but he was too timid to even raise his head.

Xiao Junjue's eyes flicked over this group of ministers one by one. He was not familiar with most of the people in the court after nine years away from Changge City.It can be seen that after the two dynasties of Xiao Jinyu and Xiao Yuhang, the court also experienced two major cleansings.

Those loyal ministers and good generals during Emperor Xiaojing's time died and resigned. During these two purges, they all withdrew from the court in their respective situations.

"I don't know how the lord intends to deal with the courtier Xiao Yuheng?" His Royal Highness Qi Wang, who was once admired by everyone, has become a courtier Xiao Yuheng in the blink of an eye. Ironically, it is still the same group of people.

The person who asked the question was Zuo Xiangyun Qingshan, Xiao Junjue knew him, when Emperor Xiaojing was in charge, he was the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and he was a supporter of Xiao Jinyu's seizure of the throne.After Xiao Jinyu proclaimed himself emperor, he was promoted to be the left chancellor.

This person is very good at finding opportunities from both sides, so after Xiao Jinyu's "death", he quickly curry favor with Xiao Yuheng, and even retained his position as left-hand man.

At this time, he saw the downfall of King Qi, and wanted to curry favor with Xiao Junjue.

Xiao Junjue gave him a cold look, "Does this king need to explain to you how to deal with him?" His voice was cold, like a layer of ice slag formed on plum blossoms in the twelfth lunar month.

Yun Qingshan was terrified, and hurriedly said: "This official is too talkative, this official is too talkative, my lord forgive me."

Guo Lingchen gave him a contemptuous sideways look and snorted coldly.What a slave look!

He raised his face and said: "How to deal with it should be decided by the emperor, and when to ask others."

Guo Lingchen was the young emperor's grand tutor. When King Qi was around, he treated him very politely, so he was proud of it.Because of the name of the emperor's teacher, he often doesn't pay attention to the ministers of the court.He also prides himself on being noble and unwilling to join forces with those people.

Even though the world has been controlled by King Chu, because the emperor is still there, he didn't take Xiao Jun Jue seriously.

"Your Majesty, tell me, what should I do?" His provocative eyes flicked to Xiao Junjue, and then turned back.

The little emperor is actually quite pitiful. Ever since he became the emperor, he has been nothing more than a decoration. In the past, King Qi decided everything, and he just had to play.But King Qi only cared about his own power and used him as a tool. Generally speaking, he never felt the love of father and son from him.

Although the relationship between father and son is superficial, he also understands that there is King Qi who can only have him. If King Qi is finished, it is too small to be an emperor, and the most important thing is that he may not even be able to save his life.

He secretly looked at his grandfather, who told him many things last night, telling him to obey King Chu in everything, so as to save his life.

Li Zhanpei nodded at him, then quickly lowered his head and wiped away his tears with his sleeves.

He felt pity for this child in his heart, he was innocent, but let this child participate in the fight between adults.This is the sin of adults.

Although Li Zhanpei is King Qi's father-in-law, he is not a person who does evil, so until now, Xiao Junjue has not treated him very well.

Seeing his grandfather's instructions, the little emperor said in a low voice, "Everything should be handled by the King and Uncle Chu."

Guo Lingchen was furious, and shouted: "Your Majesty!" It's really useless!

Realizing that his tone was getting serious, he lowered his voice and said: "You are the emperor, you have to decide all the affairs of this world, don't let others do it for you."

The little emperor was really frightened. He jumped from the dragon chair, got under the table, and cried loudly: "Don't ask me, don't ask me anything, I'm not the emperor, I'm not."

The two eunuchs wanted to pull him out, but he dodged left and right, and the three of them got under the table and pulled.

All eyes were concentrated under the table, and they saw that the table was wobbly, but after a few wobbles, it fell down.

The little emperor broke free from the eunuch, crawled to Xiao Junjue's feet on his knees, grabbed his clothes, and begged, "Uncle Chu, don't kill me, don't kill me, I will give you the throne, I won't be the emperor gone."

Seeing him crying and howling, Guo Lingchen was even more angry when he said such words, and ordered the palace servants, "If you don't pull the emperor up, what is this, what is it!"

The majestic emperor of Zhou knelt down and begged for mercy from a prince, which simply messed up the court order.

But whoever dared to get close to King Chu, the palace people surrounded him, but they didn't dare to stretch out their hands to hold the little emperor.

Xiao Junjue really didn't intend to embarrass a child, and he knew that he was innocent, so he helped him up and touched his head, "Your Majesty, how could I do such a rebellious thing? Don't be afraid. My king Seeing that the emperor didn't sleep well, he is still having nightmares right now, come, someone will take the emperor down and have a good rest."

The palace people breathed a sigh of relief, and the king of Chu hurriedly led the emperor back to the palace.

Guo Lingchen was still unwilling, "King Chu, you rebelled in the name of the Qing emperor. Now that the courtiers have been eliminated, if you have righteousness in your heart, it is time to retire."

All the ministers changed their faces. Why is this Guo Lingchen so twisted? Can't he see what the situation is now?How dare you challenge the King of Chu here? You're courting death!

Compared to him, Li Zhanpei was much smarter, and he interjected at the right time: "Your Majesty is young, so don't have anyone around to help you. The King of Chu is unparalleled in character, has both ability and virtue, and is loved by all people. He is indeed the best candidate to assist the Emperor."

All the ministers agreed.

Guo Lingchen was furious, "You...you..." He pointed one by one, "You are a bunch of villains who are sycophants and flatterers!"

Yun Qingshan snorted softly and said, "Teacher Guo, why are you so excited? Could it be that what I said was wrong? King Qi and Empress Dowager Liu have already been recruited. Back then they conspired to kill the late emperor, frame Zhongliang, and take the throne by chance. To put it bluntly, now the emperor The name of this throne is not justified." He turned to Xiao Junjue with a flattering smile, bowed his hands respectfully, and said: "The King of Chu is the eldest son of Emperor Xiaojing, and his name is justified. Look, even inheriting the throne is a matter of course."

He raised his robe and knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said: "My minister advises that His Highness King Chu should abolish the son of King Qi, inherit the great rule, and rectify the foundation of the country."

With this call, there were many responders.

This time Guo Lingchen was so angry that he was about to faint, he didn't expect Yun Qingshan to climb up so smoothly.

Smiling back from anger, he looked directly at Xiao Junjue, and said: "At first, the King of Chu was attacking on the grounds of purging the treacherous ministers around the emperor, and now he wants to abolish the emperor. Don't be afraid that all the people in the world will say that the King of Chu is taking the side of the Qing emperor. Rebellion in name?"

Yun Qingshan glared at him fiercely.He scolded: "Bold!"

Xiao Junjue waved his hand to Yun Qingshan, Yun Qingshan bowed and stepped aside.Xiao Jun said: "This time this king is only on the side of the Qing emperor, and has never wanted to abolish the emperor. Besides, the murder of the first emperor is still under investigation, and we can make a decision after finding out the right and wrong."

Yun Qingshan's flattery came one after another, Xiao Jun Jue's words had not yet landed, and he could receive them, "Chu Wang is wise, so it's good, when the matter is clarified, just stop those Youyou's mouths." After finishing speaking , squinted at Guo Lingchen.

Guo Lingchen met his gaze and spat, "Sycophant!"

Yun Qingshan turned a deaf ear to him and didn't argue with him, so what about a sycophant, as long as he can keep his head and keep his official position, let alone a sycophant.

Xiao Junjue was impatient to hear them quarreling all morning, "Is there anything else for the ministers? If you have nothing to do, you can leave the court."

A minister stepped forward and said, "Your official has something to say."

Xiao Junjue didn't even lift her eyelids, "Speak."

The man said: "The lower officials think that being a courtier should follow the rules of being a courtier. As a minister, the king of Chu, even if he has meritorious service, can't break the rules. This palace is for the emperor and his concubines to live in, but now the king of Chu's family But living in the palace is really against the rules."

"That's right, the family of the vassal king came to live in the palace. What kind of talk does this sound like? It wasn't like this when King Qi was there before." There was a lot of discussion, especially those from Yushitai.

They have nothing else to do all day long, but all kinds of people are not pleasing to the eye and picky.

But except for a few of them, everyone else was silent. Some people looked at the expression of the King of Chu, some lowered their heads and had nothing to do with it, and some secretly prayed that they would not be involved in themselves.

Xiao Junjue raised his head slowly and stared at the man. The man straightened his spine and looked straight at Xiao Junjue without fear.

"You are?" Xiao Junjue took a sizing look at him, not even familiar.

The man was neither arrogant nor humble, he seemed to have a bit of backbone, and said: "Xiaguan Yushi Taizhong Chenghe saves himself."

Xiao Junjue squinted his eyes. He noticed that he glanced at Guo Lingchen when he was speaking. Although he was quick, he caught it.

It turned out that they were with Guo Lingchen, and they wanted to make things difficult for him today.

Xiao Junjue chuckled, "Master He said that it is inappropriate for my family to live in the palace, so how dare I ask Mr. He, where are you going to put my family?"

He Xingshen didn't know what to do, but when the King of Chu smiled, he lost all confidence, and a tinge of fear arose in his heart for no reason.

After thinking for a while, he said: "There is still an old house in the capital of the King of Chu, and the old mansion of the King of Chu is still there."

"Oh, Mr. He wants to live in an old house that has been empty for many years, with no one to clean and repair, and no one to take care of the princess who has just given birth and the newborn child?" Xiao Junjue said word by word: "The old house It has been vacant for many years, it must be dark, damp, and full of dust, Mr. He let my wife and daughter live there--" After a pause, Xiao Junjue's eyes gradually became sharper, "What is Mr. He's intention?"

Frightened by the majesty, He Sheng immediately knelt down, "I didn't mean to be an official, it's just because foreign ministers live in the palace, it's really against the law of the ancestors, so...so..."

Xiao Junjue stared at him, "So you want to drive this king out of the palace, you'd better go back to Yizhou!"

"I don't dare to be an official, I don't dare to be an official!" He Shengshen regretted as much as he wanted at this time, why did he listen to Taifu Guo's words and challenge the King of Chu.Confused, confused.
