Chapter 46 Tampering with the Imperial Decree, the Holy Wrath

As soon as the genius was bright, hundreds of civil and military officials in various official robes filed into the palace. When passing by the avenue, they carefully avoided the corpses of the forbidden soldiers on the ground, as well as the remaining sword power here.

The palace was in a mess, and the gates fell to the ground, riddled with holes. Many Dauchi Qilin Guards went into battle lightly, silently cleaning the ruins at the entrance, dragging the bodies out of the pits, and taking them to the back hill for cremation and burial.

The eunuchs and maids finally dared to come out, performing their duties and guarding their posts.

Half an hour later.

Shengming Palace.

It is the main palace of the Dayan Dynasty, the political center and national symbol of Dayan. It is located in the middle of the palace, facing south and north. It is the palace of ten thousand palaces in the world of China.

This is the place where court meetings are held. I don’t know how many imperial edicts are issued from here. Any military order can make a small country extinct.

There are red walls with black eaves and tall stone staircases with dragons. Thousands of unicorn guards guard the gates of the square hall, standing tall with spears in hand. Making Shengming Palace extremely solemn, the nine dragon-patterned stone tripods in front of the palace stand outside the door of Shengming Palace, telling where your destiny lies today.

Since ancient times, there has been the "Nine Cauldron Theory", which declares the sovereignty of the Middle-earth Dynasty. Those who hold the Nine Cauldrons are the true orthodoxy of the world.

Inside the magnificent hall, with dragon pillars standing tall.

Civil officials wear beam crowns on their heads, belts on their waists, and hold various wat boards in their hands. Those of the fourth rank and above are decorated with vermillion, with purple and gold fish bags hanging on their waists, and their eyes are shining.

The military minister wears a heguan on his head and ranks among the four elephants. He has a red unicorn on his chest, a sword on his waist, a jade belt with an animal ring, sharp eyes, and is blessed with martial arts luck and awe-inspiring aura.

The blue and purple energy condensed in the official career soared majestically to the sky.

Hundreds of officials are holding wat tablets and standing on the left and right. The palace is solemn and solemn. You can hear a needle drop. Don't be too quiet.

No one paid attention to a thumb-sized paper figure, which was blown by the wind and floated to the stairs outside the temple, motionless.

Emperor Yong'an was sitting on the dragon throne, with a pair of sharp eyes on his majestic face. He was sitting on a high place, looking down at the ministers. No one dared to look directly at him.

His eyes moved and looked at the eldest prince Lu Changfeng, who was tied up with five flowers on the ground and looked depressed, and the third prince Lu Guangyao, who looked relatively calm.

There were also a large number of kneeling cabinet ministers, including Qi Xingyan, Cui Qingfeng, Xie Lingqing and other important officials overseeing the country.

The leader is the chief minister of the cabinet, Yuan Xuangang.

"Lu Changfeng, you are very courageous."

Emperor Yong'an's voice was full of energy and unusually loud, and he was the first to question with narrowed eyes.

Lu Changfeng already had a look of despair, his eyes were frightened, and his voice was trembling: "Father, my son has been wronged! How dare I rebel? They are all acting in accordance with the imperial edict! He took over the power of supervising the country, but the third prince, Lu Guangyao, blocked him in every possible way. , so there is this battle."

"Oh?"

Emperor Yong'an's voice turned cold in vain, and he said angrily:

"You are saying that all the scholars in the Imperial Capital, even the Jiantai Division, and the monks from the three academies are all blind. The news of your rebellion, Lu Changfeng, has spread throughout the capital. Your good reputation of sending the princes to Zhao Prison is also fake. You beat thousands of people in the palace. The person who was riddled with wounds, caused heavy casualties to the Forbidden Army, and incurred astronomical pension expenses, is this not you?"

Lu Changfeng kowtowed and bowed again: "But it is written in black and white on the holy edict."

Emperor Yong'an interrupted directly, "If you don't give up yet, come here! Bring me the edict written by me."

Zhongshu Sheren came out, took out the first draft of the edict from his sleeve, handed it to the eunuch, and read it again to everyone.

This time, the last sentence about supervising the country was missing.

"How is it possible? How is it possible?"

Lu Changfeng kept mumbling incessantly, making people almost stupid.

Lu Guangyao on the side sneered when he saw his appearance.

Emperor Yong'an glanced at the cabinet ministers for the second time, his eyes as sharp as knives, and sighed:

"In the current cabinet, which bachelor is not gray-haired, which one is not the pillar of the imperial court, and which one is not my right-hand man."

"You can do such a treacherous thing, I feel extremely disappointed!"

Cui Qingfeng, the Minister of Rites, was sweating profusely when he heard this. He cupped his hands and said, "We can all testify that this matter is true. When the third prince came to Beijing, he did have the words to supervise the country."

"You mean, someone has tampered with the imperial edict?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yong'an turned his attention to Zhongshu Sheren.

However, Zhongshu Sheren was unusually calm. He took a step forward and said with cupped hands: "Your Majesty, I personally wrote several copies of the imperial edict according to your wishes that day and handed it over to His Highness the Third Prince. How could I have time to tamper with the imperial edict?" ? I hope the Holy Spirit will give me a clear warning."

After hearing the words, Emperor Yong'an was silent for a moment, and after tapping the dragon chair with his knuckles, he thought about many things, including the actions of the eldest prince, the matters of the oracle, and the beneficiaries of this palace incident.

But he pondered and was not in a hurry.

At this time, Prime Minister Qi Xingyan looked remorseful and said with a guilty expression: "It was the old minister's fault and his failure to stop him that made the eldest prince make such a big mistake."

As the mentor of his eldest son, he cannot escape the blame.

I just didn't expect that in just one day, the eldest prince would do so many things behind his back, and he didn't even discuss it with him!
  When he thought about it carefully, he finally understood the second prince's intention of sending Chen Ke here. There was most likely a plan by the second prince behind this palace change.

He seized on the weaknesses of all human beings and arranged such a shocking plot, including everyone.

But from the beginning to the end, before the end of the palace incident, he had been in prison and never left. How difficult it is to find evidence.

Over the years, he had never thought about ways to catch the second prince.

But the results were minimal, either the person died, or there was no trace of him at all.

"Needless to say, without my will, those who dare to rebel, mobilize the imperial army, and kill their brothers are already punished by death."

He announced the result calmly: "Come here, drag down all the cabinet ministers such as Lu Changfeng, Cui Qingfeng, Xie Lingqing, and put them on death row. Their execution will be postponed until I find out the evidence. Whether they will be exiled, exterminate the family, or kill the nine clans will be decided after spring." .”

Then Emperor Yong'an looked at Qi Xingyan.

"Although Mr. Qi accepts the punishment for his crime, I consider myself not a person who punishes crimes randomly. It is not your intention to be master and follower, and you don't know it yet. But I still have to punish you for your incompetence in discipline, remove Qi Xingyan from the position of prime minister, and remove you from the position of minister of the Ministry of Rites. , all official positions such as the Bachelor of Wenchang University and the Chief of Shengjing Academy are under house arrest in the imperial city, waiting for their downfall."

Qi Xingyan sighed deeply, cupped his hands and said, "I accept the order."

He understood that the Holy One saw that he had the title of great Confucian and had a very high reputation and was the belief of scholars all over the world, so he could not give himself the death penalty easily.

"Pei Ao ignored military discipline and mobilized troops privately. This is a serious crime. He used troops to help him, participated in the rebellion, and killed the whole family. He will be executed immediately!"

"Finally, Ming Deng Division will thoroughly investigate this matter and get to the bottom of it. All suspicious persons will be sent to Zhao Prison. Anyone who disobeys will be executed without mercy. This will apply to the three departments and six divisions at the same time."

When the third prince Lu Guangyao heard this, his face showed joy, but his smile froze in the next second.

"Lu Guangyao led his troops to kill thousands of enemies and vindicate the enemy. Although he had great achievements and had Tiger Talisman to mobilize his troops, the damage to the palace property was so huge that it is really unforgivable. He should be dismissed from the post of commander of the Tiger Battalion, deprived of all his meritorious deeds, and awaiting retribution."

After the preliminary trial was over, many people in the court breathed a sigh of relief, while many others were still worried.

He was afraid that the Ming Deng Division would find out about him.

"Yes!"

Lu Mingyuan heard everything outside the palace and got this result.

I thought to myself.

The forces around the eldest prince and the noble families of the Imperial Capital are all places where capable people come out in large numbers and occupy many positions in the court. It is impossible for my father to kill them all, otherwise the Imperial Capital will be in chaos, so I have to boil the frog in warm water and give it to them. A little room for maneuver, one by one, one by one.

Compared with the weaker Pei family, they can only use it to scare the monkeys.

When the tree falls and the monkeys scatter, the First Prince's faction may all collapse and be completely declared over.

After the meeting dispersed.

Inside Qianyuan Hall.

Emperor Yong'an stood by the window, beside him was the scholar in the court hall.

"Your Majesty, are you looking for me?"

Zhongshu Sheren said cautiously.

"Ah."

Emperor Yong'an stood by the window and responded calmly without looking back.

"Guo Sheren, are you working hard for me?"

Zhongshu Sheren's pupils narrowed and he said in confusion: "Your Majesty, of course I do."

"Pfft!"

A blade pierced the chest of Zhongshusheren, and blood dyed his clothes red.

The person who took action was the old eunuch who was always beside Emperor Yong'an.

The golden light of the eight realms of literary energy on Zhongshu Sheren tried to protect his body, but was instantly slapped away by the old eunuch.

The next second, his pupils collapsed and he fell to the ground dead.

"Drag him out and say he was assassinated at the palace gate."

The old eunuch put away his knife and wiped it, then stood beside Emperor Yong'an and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, since you know that this person's mind is not pure, why do you still keep him by your side?"

Emperor Yong'an rubbed his eyebrows: "I just want to see how far the second son can do it."

"After the Battle of the Capital, the strength of Confucianism has been greatly reduced. The Taoist Alliance and Buddhist Shengtian should no longer pay attention to me."

"So His Majesty plans."

Emperor Yong'an warned coldly: "Don't say what you shouldn't say."

"Yes"

Emperor Yong'an looked outside the palace, narrowed his eyes and said: "In the court, there are only some superficial punishments. In private, there are still some things that are difficult to deal with. I can only do it on my behalf."

It's about to hit Sanjiang. Don't keep books.
