Emperors of the Heavens: Summon the Governor of the East Factory at the beginning

Chapter 45 Chu Yuan enters the scene and makes a final decision
There was a slight uproar in the court, and many of the courtiers who were attached to Gu Yue were beating drums with heavy hammers in their hearts.

When the two looked at each other, they seemed to be able to see confusion in each other's eyes.

what happened?

It seems that the adults have never communicated with them.

"really!"

The words coming from his ears made Zhang Yuanbo narrow his eyes.

He had expected that Gu Yue was holding back something bad if he didn't speak, but he didn't expect that he would directly confront the Queen Mother.

Gu Yue was not just a fledgling boy. He was one of the three dignitaries and the leader of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. He was a second-rank Zuodu censor, and now he dared to insult the Queen Mother in such a straightforward way in the court.

Years of political acumen told him that it would be better to talk less at this time and wait and see what happens.

Thinking like this, Zhang Yuanbo directly looked at his nose and nose, and looked at his heart like a sleeping willow tree.

The Prime Minister Zhang Yuanbo behaved like this, but the Empress Dowager Hua, who was being watched by all the officials in the court at the moment, could not do the same.

Many eyes were focused on her, and at this moment, she felt as if she was being roasted on a bonfire, feeling extremely tormented.

She suppressed the anger in her chest and looked directly at Gu Yue.

"Gu Yushi, yesterday you waited for the court to discuss and strongly stated that the country cannot live without a king for a day. Today, the palace is to consolidate the country's foundation, endure the pain of losing a son, and discuss the new king."

"When Your Majesty was on the throne, there is no need to say much about the relationship between His Majesty and the King of Qi. All the ministers can see it."

"The compliments made by the Grand Master just now were heard by all the courtiers in the palace. Apart from King Qi, I can't think of anyone who is more suitable to inherit the throne?"

"Why are you being unfair? You said you have to wait, but you don't know how long you have to wait, how many days, months, or years?"

Empress Dowager Hua was obviously a little emotional, and what she said at this moment was directed at Gu Yue.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the court was condensed, and all civil and military officials dared not speak more.

"Haha... Queen Mother, there is no need to be angry. I told you to wait. It doesn't need to be that long. All the ministers can wait quietly in the court and wait in peace."

Gu Yue did not say much to the Empress Dowager Hua, nor did he want to have a verbal dispute with her.

After putting down a sentence, he became silent again.

In the minds of Gu Yue and others, today's court meeting was nothing more than a farce.

The prince has not arrived yet, what can be discussed?
And Gu Yue's attitude directly made the Queen Mother Hua a little angry. Her son had just passed away, and now Gu Yue dared to be so ruthless!
"Please wait patiently..."

"Your Majesty, please be patient and wait a little longer..."

……

Just when the Empress Dowager Hua wanted to say something more, two voices sounded from above the court hall.

The ministers followed the call and saw that Han Tai, the Minister of the Ministry of War, and Li Ying, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, suddenly spoke.

These are all powerful figures in the dynasty, absolute loyal ministers.

But today's behavior is incomprehensible. What he said is the same as Gu Yue, asking the courtiers to wait.

But what are you waiting for?But there is no more content.

Empress Dowager Hua also noticed the abnormality of today's court meeting at this moment. Three important officials in the court spoke one after another, and their words were exactly the same.

She had to take a few deep breaths to calm down the anger in her heart.

She didn't say much anymore, her eyes glowed with coldness, and she just sat down on the imperial platform above.

She wanted to see what the court officials wanted her to wait for? !

Time passed minute by minute, and it seemed unusually quiet above the court hall.

But there was something inexplicable strangeness in the silence.

All the ministers didn't know the reason. Their eyes swept over Gu Yue, Han Tai and Li Ying one after another, and finally looked away.

Since the Queen Mother was willing to wait, they did not dare to say anything more.

It was not until three o'clock in the morning, approaching noon, that all the ministers had been waiting for half an hour.

Empress Dowager Hua was a little impatient at this moment, and then there was finally movement outside the palace.

"The King of Zhenbei is here!"

An announcement came from outside the palace, and there was a hint of trembling in the voice of the eunuch.

At this moment, the ministers in the palace, who were a little drowsy due to the long wait, all woke up instantly as if a basin of ice water was poured over their heads.

Then everyone's expressions changed.

Only Guyue, Han Tai, Li Ying and others looked normal at the moment, as if they knew about it long ago.

"Tap-tap-"

The sound of neither light nor heavy footsteps was accompanied by the entry of a figure, which seemed unusually crisp in the empty palace.

The figure seemed to carry an inexplicable majesty, even if he didn't exude it deliberately, a kind of aura condensed, still overwhelming all the court officials out of breath.

Empress Dowager Hua's complexion turned pale from impatience at this moment.

Zhenbei Wang Chuyuan's horror, and the possible background behind it, until now, are like a mystery to Empress Hua.

Not long ago, late at night, before Jiang Rui was assassinated, she went to the harem to look for her because of this incident.

I hope she can write a letter to ask her father Hua Dongpeng, the master of Lingxian Pavilion, to personally take action to suppress Chu Yuan.

It can be seen from this that Jiang Rui is afraid of King Zhenbei, who is more than ten years younger than him.

Today's court meeting is to decide on the candidate for the new king. Why does Chu Yuan appear here?
Could it be...

Empress Dowager Hua's expression changed.

Chu Yuan had previously challenged the imperial power in the court and coerced her son. Coupled with the abnormal behavior of Guyue, Han Tai, and Li Ying just now, the Empress Dowager Hua suddenly had an unknown premonition in her heart.

"My lord..."

"See my lord..."

……

Chu Yuan had just stood on the court. The Zuodu Censor Gu Yue, who had closed his eyes and meditated before the Empress Dowager Hua and did not want to say anything, immediately double-crossed and bowed to Chu Yuan with an extremely respectful attitude. .

His action instantly awakened the rest of the courtiers in the court.

Everyone hurriedly paid homage, fearing that they would offend the evil star due to any lapse in etiquette.

For a time, the sound of people attending the ceremony arose in the court hall, as if it had become Chu Yuan's home court, like the lord of thousands of stars, all the stars looming over the moon.

"Ah."

Chu Yuan nodded and stood in the middle of the court hall.

Looking around the side hall, no one from the civil and military officials dared to look directly.

"At today's meeting, has the candidate for the new king been agreed upon?"

The light and majestic sound resounded in the court hall.

It seemed rather overwhelming, but none of the civil and military officials dared to speak out.

"Reporting to the prince, the Queen Mother strongly recommends the eldest prince, King Qi, to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor. The candidate for the new king has not yet been decided."

Gu Yue responded respectfully.

"Since no conclusion has been reached, there is no need to discuss the matter of King Qi's accession to the throne."

"This king has someone to choose here, but he is the blood of the former emperor Jiang Daoshan, who ascended the throne and became the emperor. This king thinks it is very suitable."

Chu Yuan opened his mouth and revealed the matter of King Qi's accession to the throne in just a few words.

"I wonder which prince of the late emperor the prince is talking about?"

Gu Yue asked at the right moment.

"The late emperor's nineteenth son, Jiang Ping."
