Chapter 400
At the beginning of March, the capital of God.

After the emperor's funeral, the struggle between the two groups intensified.

Today is Courtiers' Day, and the central courtiers gathered in the main hall of the palace to discuss the candidate for the new emperor.

The enthronement of the new emperor is a major event, which is related to the fate of the country. All the central ministers who are committed to the development of Qianyuan have come.

Inside and outside the main hall, the Habayashi Army in military uniform is in charge of security guards.

At the top of the hall outside the sight of many courtiers, Yan Da, the left guard of the Habayashi Army, stood tall.

His sharp gaze was like the eyes of an eagle, looking down at the entire palace.

The breath of the third grade is majestic and restrained, no one can escape his eyes.

The ministers entered the hall one by one.

Then they consciously divided into several factions.

Forming cliques is the basic attribute of human activities. People living in this world always have their own circles.

The same is true for being an official in the court. If there are officials with the same political views as your own, you can walk together and sit down to have a conversation.

In the middle of the court, the new emperor has not yet ascended the throne, and the partisan differences among the ministers are more obvious.

It can be mainly divided into four categories.

One is the group of military officers headed by the general, the other is the group of civilian officials headed by Prime Minister You, and the third is the group of clan nobles headed by Rong Taiwei.

The fourth is the internal servant group headed by the eunuch Wang Xian.

In addition, there are some scattered groups who basically have no right to speak and are not worth mentioning.

Before the new emperor ascended the throne, undercurrents surged inside and outside the capital of God.

For more than a month, I don't know how many people lost their lives because of this.

Now the ministers are gathered together to push this matter forward.

Except for the servants, the other three groups now all recognize the ancient truth of "respecting the elders".

The auspicious day is approaching, the law of the ancestral temple cannot be abolished, and the argument that "a country cannot be left without a master" is clamoring in the dust. Before the general trend, it is no longer human power that can stop and change it.

On this day, the generals and ministers headed by Yang Ming, the great general of the court, were all dressed in armor, with wide gait and swords on the hall.

As soon as he entered the court, the servant group headed by Wang Xian began to criticize Yang Ming.

"Why did the general enter the palace with a sharp knife in his hand? Could it be that he also wants to follow Wan Ping's rebellion?"

The eunuch spoke sharply, and put on a big hat as soon as he opened his mouth.

After Yang Ming was hated, he was angry in his heart, but his face was as usual, and he retorted: "I heard that there are evil spirits in the palace. As a general, I punish evil spirits and ghosts. What's the matter with a sword? I said Am I going to stab you?"

What, want to stab someone?
How rampant is Yang thief?

Wang Xian's face was livid, and he snorted coldly and said: "The palace is full of concubines of the late emperor, or princes and princesses, where are the monsters? Why did the general say such a thing?"

"There will be someone in this palace who will become my new Emperor Qianyuan in the future. Does the evil that the general said also include them?"

Wang Xian has been fighting for power and profit in the palace for a long time, with excellent eloquence, Yang Ming is speechless after a few words.

Yang Ming could only keep sneering to cover up his inner embarrassment.

Someone nearby couldn't stand it anymore, Prime Minister Yu Wenyu took a step forward, and said loudly: "The emperor's seat is determined, how can anyone say it? Today, the ministers of this dynasty gathered to invite the 'Supreme Heavenly Primordial God', which is definitely not a family statement." Then you can talk about the conclusion of Tianzhu."

Yuwen Bi is gray-haired and old-fashioned, but has a high prestige in the court.

Especially after the death of the emperor, many civil servants and scholars in the court were headed by Yu Wenyi.

As soon as Yuwen Bi opened his mouth, neither Yang Ming nor Wang Xian spoke.

In the final analysis, Yang Ming and Wang Xian are people with real power, but Yuwen Bi is the one who can silence scholars all over the world. Without Yu Wenbi's support, no matter who they elect to be emperor in the future, they will inevitably suffer a lot. Word of mouth.

When dealing with scholars, we must avoid verbal battles.

This is the consensus of everyone, so both of them gave Yuwen Bi a lot of respect.

Yuwen Bi's attitude was not particularly clear before, and he seemed to support the saying of "respecting the elders", but he seemed to be interested in the "sages first" passed down by the emperor's servants.

He doesn't express his opinion easily, and the presence of civil servants is not very high.

Some civil servants defected to Yang Ming's group, thinking that what General Yang Ming said was orthodox, and that they should be supported more.

But today Yuwen Bi is present, he has no chance to talk about him, he has to make a statement.

So after Yu Wenbi finished speaking, Yang Ming looked at Yuwen Bi with burning eyes, and said: "Prime Minister Yuwen is the elder of the three dynasties, the so-called 'a country cannot be without a king for a day', the first emperor died more than a month ago, and my Qianyuan has not yet been determined Xinjun, if this matter is written into the history, it will not be a glorious thing."

"Prime Minister Yuwen, tell me, how should the new emperor be established, and who should he support?"

Yang Ming didn't care about what Yu Wenbi said about 'inviting the Supreme Heavenly Primordial God'. This matter is just a necessary procedure after the new emperor ascends the throne. How can it be used as an excuse?
Yu Wenyu wanted to get away from this matter and maintain his status as a veteran of several dynasties, but Yang Ming was unwilling to let him get away and insisted on letting him draw a conclusion.

The language used is also very ingenious, leaving a name in the history, and the black history is passed down from generation to generation.

This kind of thing is the thing that scholars care about the most, so after the civil servant, many people's faces changed.

Yin Yin looked at Yuwen Bi, wanting to get information from Yu Wenqi.

Yu Wenyu glanced at Yang Ming, and said calmly: "Looking at the many princes in my dynasty, the old man thinks that one of them should be chosen as the new monarch with morality, virtue and talent, so as to encourage him to be respectful, thrifty, disciplined, diligent in governing and loving the people, and be conscientious." In the way of maintaining prosperity and prosperity, the order of the dynasty is clear and peaceful, and the people and things are prosperous."

There are a lot of scholars talking about it.

Yang Ming didn't quite understand what he said.

Wang Xian couldn't help but show joy, hearing what Yuwen Bi meant, he wanted to establish a "talented person", and "a talented person" was the second prince whom he had been promoting before.

Although the eldest prince is old, in the mouth of the first emperor, no one is majestic, which is flawed.

Sure enough, the old man still followed the emperor, and he would not easily change the emperor's will, which was the key to their literati's livelihood.

The faces of the people in Yang Ming's group changed drastically.

Yuwen Bi turned his back on the battle and turned to the servant group?
He is a veteran of three dynasties, so he doesn't care about his feathers, so he wants to be in the same rank as the eunuch?
They couldn't believe this scene, they looked at Yuwen Bi.

Yuwen Bi said a lot in eloquence.

In the end, he concluded: "Therefore, the old man thinks that the great prince is kind-hearted, reticent, and has great ambitions. He is actually Qianyuan Mingjun."

Yuwen Bi expressed his support for the eldest prince.

Like many veteran ministers and officials, Yu Wenqi finally chose to respect his elders.

Although I said a lot, it was nothing more than these four words.

Yang Ming was overjoyed at the sight of another village.

But Wang Xian's face in the hall was completely gloomy, and he sneered unceremoniously: "It turns out that Prime Minister Yuwen is also planning to disobey the late emperor's will, so there is no loyal minister in this civil and military dynasty?"

He looked disappointed, as if he had heard the last emperor's edict.

When the people below heard this, they couldn't help but feel a little shaken in their hearts.

The late emperor's remaining prestige is still there. If it is true what the eunuch said, the first emperor was going to install the second prince, then they insist on appointing the first prince here, aren't they deceiving the emperor?Is it so rebellious?
Of course, Yang Ming couldn't let Wang Xian take the lead. He cursed angrily: "You keep talking about the late emperor's will, and I will believe you if you show the late emperor's will."

Wang Xian sneered and said, "The first emperor was seriously ill, so he didn't have the strength to write down the will. He dictated it to me."

"Fart, the first emperor was in his prime, and he died without knowing why. The old man hasn't investigated this matter clearly yet. You are a monster who continues to confuse people with your rumors. Do you really think that the sword in my hand is not good?"

Yang Ming became anxious as he spoke, and Wu Fu's temper came up, and he began to spout indiscriminately.

His words were vulgar, Wang Xian had never been insulted like this before, and he immediately blushed, his seven orifices smoked.

The two began to scold each other in the main hall. After scolding too much, Yang Ming was really ready to draw his sword.

Fortunately, Qin Hu and others at the side stopped Yang Ming from rushing up.

The eunuchs beside Wang Xian also surrounded him, and many of the Habayashi army under his control, drew their swords and rushed into the main hall, each of them showing a serious murderous look, with bad intentions.

"Wang Xian, do you dare to kill the late emperor's ministers?"

Seeing this scene, Yang Ming regained his spirits, pushed away Qin Hu and others on the left and right, and began to give Wang Xian a big hat.

Wang Xian did not intend to kill the ministers without authorization, these Habayashi soldiers were all used by him to guard the palace.

It's just that the two of them are arguing too much now, touching hands and feet and even using a knife.

Therefore, the Habayashi Army ambushed outside the hall was alarmed. With a wave of his hand, the little eunuch under his command, all the Habayashi Army rushed into the main hall and surrounded many ministers.

The shining knives, guns, swords and halberds were all braving a cold and merciless air.

Looking at the panicked officials, Wang Xian felt for the first time that the power of life and death seemed to be under his sole control.

Now as long as he gives an order, anyone who refuses to obey will be killed.
