Chapter Ninety-Seven Heart-wrenching, conspiracy to decide the world.
The demons danced around and it was already midnight.
The brightly lit in the imperial city, and the majestic Taiji Hall quieted down again, regaining the solemnity and solemnity of the past when he went to court. After all, at this moment, there is a backbone to rely on.
Song Ji sat on the dragon throne, glanced at the ministers with different expressions, and finally stopped at Liu Pingyang and Han Zhongyu who were kneeling on the ground and trembling. His voice was majestic and angry:
"Encouraging the King of Yan to usurp the throne and lure the prince of Su to kill the king, and almost drag the whole world into the quagmire. It is a great crime and should be punished by nine clans. People come to take off the two thieves' official robes and pass them on to the nine sides to serve as a warning to others."
"Master! Master! Master! Master calm down!"
The Grand Marshal Liu Pingyang and Han Zhongyu immediately trembled and crawled forward on their knees, but they didn't know how to defend themselves.
The civil and military officials in the court watched coldly, even if they were former colleagues and friends, they had anger and hatred in their eyes at this time.
Step on the pedal-
The sound of steps continued, and the inner guard rushed in and dragged the two wailing military officers out. The Wolf Guard and the Imperial Guard rushed into the palaces of Liu and Han families at almost the same time.
As the "usurpation of the throne" subsided, Song Ji regained the overall situation, and the civil and military officials of the court breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, he remembered King Su who had already left Qinzhou to Chang'an.
Since King Su brought heavy troops out of Qinzhou, he must have rebelled. Although Xu Buling was deceived, the banner of rebellion was fought, and the matter was still very difficult.
It’s impossible to forget about King Su’s rebellion just because it was a misunderstanding.
There was a first time and a second time. If King Su was in charge of Xiliang, the emperor was worried about the court officials.
The ministers were silent for a moment, and the censor Cui Huailu stepped forward and was about to speak. Xiao Chuyang took the lead and snatched his words:
"Sage, King Su has already brought his army out of Qinzhou. His wolfish ambition is obvious. He also asked the Lord to quickly entrust the six kings to enter the capital to serve the king and quell the rebellion of King Su."
Cui Huailu took a deep breath and took a step forward:
"I'm going to discuss it."
The remaining officials naturally agreed and waited for the emperor to give instructions.
Song Ji sat on the dragon chaise, with a hint of sadness on his face. After a moment of silence:
"The King of Yan, Liu and Han conspired to lure Prince Su. The prince was young and was poisoned and desperate. Although he made a big mistake, it was not out of his original intention. He sacrificed his life in front of Tai Chi Palace and was loyal to the country, and I also saw it...
... Therefore, I don’t blame Xu Buling, nor should I blame him!"
"call……"
All the civil and military officials in the court breathed a sigh of relief. With the emperor's words, Xu Buling would not need to be killed. As long as Xu Buling was not killed, there would be some talk.
Xiao Chuyang raised his hand again and said loudly: "King Su has led his troops out of Qinzhou. Even if there is a reason for the matter, he must not be punished!"
If Cui Huailu was snatched for a day today, his brows were furrowed, and his face was obviously not very good-looking.
The Cui family and Song Ji have been planning for so many years to remove the warlords such as Liu and Han today, and to give the King Su lineage a harsh knife, and to cut off the clans that were too big to lose their tails.
According to the original plan of the Cui family, after Song Ji's death, King Su rebelled. Only Song Yu could preside over the overall situation in Chang'an. All officials were discerning people, so they would definitely not choose a young prince to support Song Yu. At that time, it would naturally be Xiao Chuyang and Liu Pingyang took the lead. As long as the Cui family tried to protect the prince, the Xiao family would have to finish the game on the spot when Song Ji's resurrection.
But Xiao Chuyang's performance today was that he first commanded all officials to order the six kings, and did not allow him to destroy the Xu family and revitalize the prestige of the country. Then, he also loyally and strongly protected the prince of Song Ji, and was fighting for the risk of raiding the family and extermination of the clan, and did not allow Song Yu to take the throne, and he looked like a minister who was entrusted with an orphan.
These things should have been done by Cui Huailu, but they were all snatched by Xiao Chuyang.
But Xiao Chuyang was the prime minister of the current dynasty and had great power. It was not surprising that he had the courage and skills.
Cui Huailu hesitated for a moment and had to nod:
"I'm going to discuss it!"
Emperor Song Ji naturally saw Xiao Chuyang's performance during the national crisis. At this moment, he was naturally relieved and even moved.
After all, if Song Ji really died today, without Xiao Chuyang and Cui Huailu protecting the prince, Song Yu would have been on the throne, and his lineage would have died.
As long as Xiao Chuyang and Cui Huailu don’t let go, Song Yu can’t be the emperor. She is also a commander who can’t be ordered on the dragon throne.
Song Ji originally had the intention of changing faces, but seeing Xiao Chuyang's performance today, even if Song Ji was asked to change faces, he would not change.
It is better to have such a loyal and tough prime minister standing in the court to preside over the overall situation than to support a puppet prime minister who changes his power. No matter how powerful the Xiao family in Huainan is, the Xu family, who does not have heavy troops, is threatening, so they will not doubt their employment.
Song Ji glanced at Xiao Chuyang and raised his hand gently:
"Today, Xiao and Cui are suffering."
Xiao Chuyang got the advice of his sister Xiao Qi. At this time, his face was naturally serious and bowed:
"I'll ask the emperor to quickly decide how to deal with King Su. When the Xiliang army arrives at Qianyang Pass to catch the enemy, it will be too late to let Guo Zhongxian's troops intercept it."
Song Ji looked at the civil and military officials in the court, and was silent for a moment, and sighed:
"The Xu family is full of loyal and martyrs. General Xu opened up these thousands of miles of mountains and rivers for Dayue back then. Emperor Xiaozong once said, "Share the wealth and honor with the Xu family for generations." I have always remembered it in my heart. The people of the world still remember the glory of General Xu's battlefield. As it is not yet settled today, King Su's lineage has always been my right-hand man...
...And King Su Xu You was in the capital, and was like brothers and sisters with me, studying and drinking together. Although I haven't seen him for twenty years, I still regard him as a brother and trust him, and have no warning about him...
...Xu Buling's innocent heart can be seen by heaven and earth. I was deceived by King Yan. It was because I did not teach my younger brother well and take good care of my ministers. I don't blame Xu Buling, let alone King Su!"
"The Lord is wise!"
The ministers quickly agreed.
Xiao Chuyang said at this time: "There is a reason for Xu Buling. He was deceived by the King of Yan. The emperor was magnanimous and forgiven Xu Buling, which was actually a wise move. However, King Su had already brought his troops out of Qinzhou to Chang'an. This move is no different from rebellion, and you must be punished!"
"I'm going to discuss it!"
All the civil and military officials bowed, which was in line with Xiao Chuyang's words.
Song Ji raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, revealing a little unbearable:
"King Su is the same brother and sister as me. He has always been impulsive and has no intention of rebelling. He is just eager to save his son, so he came up with this bad plan. Xu Buling was framed by evil people and was seriously injured. It is because I am sorry for their father and son. I will send Xu Buling back to Suzhou and let him retreat."
"Master, no!"
"Master!"
Seeing that Song Ji was so magnanimous and wise, the court officials were a little anxious.
It is possible that the monarchy incident can be forgiven for being a cause, but how could King Su rebel in order to save his son?
The vassal king with heavy troops, because his son killed the emperor and rebelled with his troops to save his son. If that's the case, would it be better for other vassal kings to learn and do what they do?
However, it is impossible to kill the entire Xu family. King Su has rebelled and cannot kill the entire family, but he must not just forget it.
Now I have to think of a compromise punishment, which not only allows King Su to accept the honest withdrawal of his troops and return to his fiefdom, but also makes the court's face reassuring.
Cui Huailu reacted very quickly this time. While Xiao Chuyang had not thought about the punishment, he quickly took a step forward and told him about the planning he had been brewing for many years:
"In my opinion, King Su is eager to save his son, but it is also true that he has sent a large army out of Qinzhou and Chang'an. If he is not punished, it is difficult to calm the hearts of all officials and the people of the world. However, if he is loyal and wise in the Xu family, the emperor can remove Qin and Weizhou and let King Su shrink his jurisdiction to Lanzhou for a little punishment. Then he can also show the magnanimity of the emperor, and King Su will be grateful."
Song Ji looked reluctant and hesitated for a long time before he sighed like "killing Ma Su with tears":
"Forget it, I'll write a book and send it to King Su!"
"The Lord is wise!"
Cui Huailu hurriedly bowed, turned to give the eunuch waiting by the hall, and signaled to send the news to Chencang quickly, so as not to end the fight.
All the officials were relieved. The punishment was just right. He sent his son back to retain his title. King Su obviously would not die together again, and he would conquer him as soon as he got better.
And the court can also bring back the Qin and Weizhous that have been thinking about for sixty years...
Thinking of this, many officials were shocked and suddenly came back to their senses, a little unbelievable.
After thinking about this incident, the biggest winner was the emperor who was stabbed...
After this usurpation of the throne, Dayue's general family may be suppressed. The Liu and Han families, the largest of the sect families, were uprooted and many positions were vacant for poor generals. This seems to be something Song Ji has always wanted to do since he succeeded to the throne...
Qianyang Pass is 300 miles away from Chang'an and Qinzhou is 600 miles away from Chang'an. It has always been a thorn in the eyes of the court. Now, we have brought back Qianyang Pass, Qin and Weizhou, and the border of King Su's fiefdom is to Lanzhou. One thousand miles away from Chang'an, there are eight dangerous passes. There are no longer any worries about the Xu family breaking Chang'an in ten days...
This calculation...
After the ministers reacted, they were all shocked.
Song Ji seemed to have done nothing from beginning to end, but at the end, he took all the benefits and gained the great prestige of the "Smart King". By the way, he cut off the lineage of the General Sect and King Su. If Xiao Chuyang had not performed well, he would have been stabbed.
Although the ministers couldn't believe that the emperor above was behind the scenes, it is said that whoever makes the most profit is the mastermind behind it.
After all this trouble, Song Ji directly cleaned up the court and removed all the potential threats left by Emperor Xiaozong. Such a legitimate and drastic move, saying that Song Ji was not aware of the situation, and the fool didn't believe it.
But it was Song Yu who usurped the throne, and Xu Buling, the rebellious King Su who killed the emperor.
Song Ji seemed to have never done anything from beginning to end...
wrong!
The courtier suddenly remembered the "Song Ji" who didn't say much from beginning to end on the Wangjiang platform and was finally penetrated by a sword.
The Song Ji, who was wearing a dragon robe, must have died and could not have been saved.
Although Song Ji on the dragon throne now looks pale, she doesn't look like a hole in her chest.
That's a stand-in!
What a 'one peach kills two soldiers'!
Song Ji really didn't do anything, just watched coldly.
After Song Yu fell into the key, Song Ji just sent a substitute for Song Yu to kill him, and then exploded all Song Yu, Liu, Han, and King Su.
Later, he appeared in a stable chaos, destroyed Liu Han and Song Yu, and stripped away part of King Su's fiefdom. Not only was he justified, but he also felt kind. He could not say that King Su had to cry out of gratitude.
This is the wrist!
The ministers bowed their hands and listened to the sound of footsteps disappearing into the golden palace, with indescribable shock and fear in their eyes.
