Royal Master Painter

Chapter 317 Unexpected Crown Prince Candidate

This day's court meeting was the most unique one since the founding of the country by Daxuan. All the officials in the imperial city came to the Golden Luan Hall, even Jiang Lian was among them, and Jiang Lian's position was very close to the front.

Daxuan's court was silent, and Emperor Tianzuo's face was stagnant, and his eyes were still bloodshot. After hearing that the Confucian Mansion and the Wen Mansion were in a complete war, he didn't sleep all night.

Ordinary Shengdou people only know that he is the Ninth Five-Year Lord, the most honorable person in the empire, but only he himself knows how difficult the position of emperor is.

"Lu Aiqing, the Wen Mansion and the Confucian Mansion are both the jade pillars of Xuanguo, my right arm and right arm. The death of Meng Jiaoyu is so heartbreaking that I would like to add all the honors, but can the two mansions look at my face? Turn hostility into jade," Emperor Tian Zuo asked softly.

"Your Majesty's words are hard to follow. Teachings are the mainstay of our Wenfu, and they are also the face of our Wenfu. Throughout the 2000 years of Wenfu, there has never been such a bad precedent. If there is no severe punishment, what is the majesty?"

Lu Tanwei was already saving face for the emperor, if it was someone else, it would be absolutely impossible for him to be so nice.

"Daxuan City, as long as there is a scribe standing, he will fight to the end with those stinky Confucian scholars."

An old scribe is not as calm as Lu Tanwei, he still has wounds on his body, Wei Changli wrote a handwritten paper, he actively responded to the call, he fought against two Confucian scholars in a row yesterday, but the most powerful man in the court It still belongs to Confucianism.

Soon someone from the Confucian Mansion stood up and refuted.

"Three Confucian scholars died at your hands yesterday, what else do you want!"

As a scribe and a disciple of Lu Daoxuan, Jiang Li is one of the core figures in the Wenfu, so of course he has to express his opinion at this time.

"Three Confucian scholars want to lose their lives for Mr. Meng? Don't you think highly of you?"

"Don't you think that I, a Confucian scholar, are afraid of you failing?"

"How dare you, Du Taichang, the battle between the two of us is not over, why not continue"

As Lu Tanwei said, he had already taken out a picture scroll, and the Du Taichang he was talking about was the No. [-] figure of the Confucian Mansion in Daxuan City.

In the court hall, the literati and Confucian scholars soon fell into a confrontation again, and the swords were on the verge of breaking out, while the people in the other eight prefectures were at ease.

Even Gong Gong, who has never set foot in the imperial palace, came here rarely, just to see how far they would go. The Confucian House has occupied the name of the No. [-] school in Yuling these years, and its behavior is very domineering. The vigor of killing them is not bad, it is best to fight for both sides.

The battle between the Wen Mansion and the Confucian Mansion has become too much. The literati and Confucian scholars in the entire Yuling Continent have become sworn enemies because of the order of Changli Gong. They received news that Yunzhou even gathered a large army Chen Bing Xihe!

"After all, this is the Daxuan Dynasty Hall, not a place for the two of you to fight. I suggest that you two should bear with it!"

Emperor Tianzuo himself had a deep background in Confucianism, so it would be easy for him to try to persuade a fight at this time.

Knowing that the emperor was in a dilemma, Chen Chen, who was the tiger of Xuan Xuan, stood up at this time, and his strength was not inferior to these two.

The emperor sitting high on the dragon chair is like a joke at this time, he is not even qualified to regulate.

Emperor Tianzuo held the dragon chair symbolizing the supreme authority in the world, trembling uncontrollably, his face flushed, and suddenly a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he passed out immediately.

This sudden change finally made Lu Tanwei and Du Taichang give up the idea of ​​fighting here.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

Zhao Rang supported the emperor and hurried back to the back of the palace, calling anxiously.

"Quickly go to the imperial doctor Xuan, hurry up!"

"Zhen...Zhen...What I need now is not an imperial doctor...Go and call Chen Cao'an," Emperor Tianzuo said weakly.

Emperor Tianzuo took a bright red pill, and then he recovered a little.

Although Emperor Tian Zuo was extremely weak and in extremely bad condition, his expression was like a beast that would choose someone to eat.

The Department of Cleaning Officials does not care about affairs in the court, and the power of the empire falls into the hands of the Department of Introspection and the Department of Military Officials, but when conflicts really happen, it is like a blow to the head!

He worked hard to get rid of the two major threats to the imperial power, Tianshe Mansion and Anling Mansion, and thought he had gathered the power of Daxuan, but he didn't expect that the world would always be in the hands of the Eight Mansions. The fight between them is so ridiculous now.

"Go quickly, call Chen Cao'an..." Emperor Tianzuo shouted hoarsely.

Soon, someone pushed Chen Cao'an's wheelchair to the palace where the emperor was resting. Zhao Rang knew that they had important discussions to discuss, so he dismissed everyone and closed the palace door to leave.

"Your Majesty, your body..."

"In the past, one person's pill could suppress the injury, but now ten people's pills are not enough, but don't worry, I will persist until I see the eight houses fall!"

"Then our plan needs to be advanced and changed. It's better to take the risk with the soldiers."

"I believe in you, so I must vent this anger on my behalf!" This has become Emperor Tianzuo's obsession.

After Chen Cao'an left, Zhao Rang hurried to the main hall again, and all the courtiers were waiting for the emperor's news.

"Fourth Prince, Your Majesty calls you into the bedroom"

Zhao Qingyang was a little surprised, there were so many people present, why he was summoned alone, but he still went with Zhao Rang.

When Zhao Qingyang saw the emperor, Emperor Tianzuo was lying on the dragon bed like gold paper, he didn't even breathe in and out, and he was already on his deathbed.

Emperor Tianzuo raised his right hand with great difficulty. This posture was obviously about to pass the throne. Zhao Qingyang was stunned for a moment and then recovered immediately. He knew exactly what he should do now.

One is to show one's concern and affection between father and son, and the second is to cry!
Zhao Qingyang hurriedly held Emperor Tianzuo's hand with both hands, and then burst into tears.

"Father, father, what's wrong with you!"

"I'm about to die...Qingyang, among your four brothers, you are my favorite prince. Back then, I had to send you to Qianji City, don't blame me!" Emperor Tianzuo said angrily.

"I don't blame you. Qingyang has never blamed you. All these years, I have always wanted to go back to your knees to fulfill my filial piety, but I know that my mission is important, so I dare not go back easily."

"In my life, some people said that I was cruel and inhumane when I killed meritorious ministers, and some people said that I was a senseless and foolish king when I killed my brothers, but I had no choice but to do so.

Although we are the royal family, will there ever be a day when I have the final say in this world? "

Perhaps it was because of the excitement, Emperor Tianzuo coughed violently.

"All I have to do in this life is to take back the power of the world into my hands, no matter how many people I kill and how much bad name I get..."

From the prince to the top, Emperor Tianzuo waded through mountains of corpses and seas of blood every step of the way. When he was young, he was a complete executioner, and when he moved, he would destroy people all over the house. But at this time, Zhao Qingyang could only follow along.

"The hardships of the father, the child knows, how can he be merciful when he achieves the career of king and hegemony?"

"well…"

Emperor Tianzuo's expression eased down.
"I am very pleased that you have made such a decision. To let you brothers and sisters, I originally wanted to use this method to block the mouths of many people and support you, but my body can't last that time. Today I will Canonize you as the crown prince, and I will ascend the throne after a hundred years!"

Saying these few words, it seemed that Emperor Tianzuo's body had been hollowed out, his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and he signaled with his eyes that Zhao Rang was holding a canonized jade scroll with his hands.

Emperor Tianzuo's body had long been exhausted, and now he had finally reached his limit, and after a few words of advice, he fell into a coma completely.

Zhao Qingyang cried miserably, but his voice stopped immediately after leaving the hall, and he grabbed the will from Zhao Rang's hand very rudely, and a smile appeared on his face after reading it.

"Zhao Rang, you are an old slave of my Zhao family, you should know the rules."

Zhao Rang knelt down to show his loyalty when he heard this.

"Fourth Prince... No, Prince, you were sealed by His Majesty himself, so you are naturally the master of this old slave."

"That's right, you should know what to say when you get to the front hall."

"The old slave knows"

Zhao Rang is the closest eunuch to Emperor Tianzuo, and it is still useful to win him over now, especially Zhao Rang's own strength is unfathomable, and he is known by most of the Huangmen Department.

But this is not trust at all, Zhao Qingyang grew up in Mofu since he was a child, and he only trusts those teachers who taught him to raise him, as for Emperor Tianzuo's exhortations are useless nonsense.

After Zhao Rang read the emperor's will in court, the hall was unexpectedly calm, but there was indeed a storm in the calm.

"I really know how to pick the right time." Jiang Li frowned.

Whether it's him or Lu Tanwei, of course they want Zhao Suixian, who is a scribe, to ascend to the throne of God, but if he retorts in front of him now, he will easily offend the Mo family.

Today's Wen Mansion and Confucian Mansion are in full-scale war, so it is not a good time to offend Mo Mansion.

After Zhao Zongchang heard it, he was naturally furious. Emperor Tianzuo promised him many times that he would make him the prince, but now he made a wedding dress for others.

Just when Zhao Zongchang was about to explode, Du Taichang also held him back.

Du Taichang's concerns were the same as those of Jiang Greed and Lu Tanwei's. No one dared to make enemies at this juncture, and the only one he could count on was Zhao Pingcheng.

"Amitabha, a crown prince is related to the lifeline of Xuanguo, since His Majesty wants to establish a crown prince, why don't you announce it publicly?"

Monk Miaojue is not only the abbot of Dajue Temple, but also one of the two great masters of the Xuan Kingdom. His strength and status are extremely high, Zhao Rang replied after saluting.

"My lord, Your Majesty is not in good health. Just now I called the Fourth Prince to the bedside to leave a decree, canonize the prince and be in charge of the state affairs, and now he is unconscious."

"I just saw that His Majesty recalled him. No one knows what he said specifically. As for this purpose, who knows if this is your conspiracy?" said another person with a background in Xumi Mansion.

"Conspiracy? If it was Zhao Pingcheng who stood up today, would you say it was a conspiracy? Zhao Rang is known to everyone in the Huangmen Office, and they are all close servants of His Majesty, and they still hold orders. You don't believe me, I think you want to rebel"

After listening to the decree, Bao Yinzhi, the chief craftsman, was ecstatic and even laughed out loud.

The Mo family is extremely powerful, but this world despises craftsmen because of the influence of the Confucian family. If Zhao Qingyang can ascend the throne as emperor, this situation will naturally change.

As early as a thousand years ago, the Mo House was one of the two great schools in the world, and now it is going to return to its original position, and anyone who stops Bo Yinzhi will want to eat him alive.

Guoshi Miaojue and Craftsman Daling Bao Yinzhi are the spokespersons of Xumi Mansion and Mo Mansion in Daxuan City, and they are also members of the Clean Officials Department, with equal strength and status.

Lu Tanwei and Du Taichang didn't fight just now, but now Bowin suddenly felt the needle point against Maimang again.

As for the other people who still did not speak out, this prince dispute had nothing to do with them in the first place.

No matter who ascends the throne as the emperor, the resources of the entire empire will naturally be more biased towards the institution where he is located, so the competition for the crown prince is very fierce.But in order to avoid involving the Eight Houses, a red line was set.

Although the Eight Houses will intervene in the affairs of the Xuanguo, the crown princes are all based on their own abilities, and the emperor has the final decision-making power, so they value Zhao Qingyang more than Zhao Pingcheng in their hearts.

"The emperor's throne is a public instrument of the state, how can it be given and received privately, it should be read by His Majesty in public, otherwise it may be difficult to convince the public." Miao Jue grasped the fact that the emperor was unconscious.

"Bald thief, I already knew that you were dissatisfied. Qingyang, you can be your prince generously and lead your state affairs. Don't be afraid of their threats. I have sent the news back to Qianji City through Zhuniao. Let us People from the Mo Mansion will be here soon, who dares to create an accusation of treason!"

The Mo House urgently needs an emperor to change the world's prejudice against the Mo House. Bo Yin will not back down even a single step, and the old craftsmen of the Mo House are already on their way here.

The relationship between the Mo Mansion and the Sumeru Mansion was not good, and now they have become enemies, but compared to the war between the Wen Mansion and the Confucian Mansion, it is still much less tense.

"You two, the position of the crown prince is not urgent for the time being. Your Majesty is just in a coma and may wake up. I remember that there are people from Medicine Master Island in the Northern Prince's Mansion. Why don't you invite him to the palace for treatment.

Once His Majesty recovers, he can announce his will in public, and all disputes will be resolved." Chen Chen didn't want to complicate the situation any further.

"Besides, I just received a news that the Wen Mansion and the Confucian Mansion started a battle at Yunlu, and the Confucian Mansion was defeated!

Wei Changli and Master Wei went on a rampage in Yunlu, expelling all Confucian students and Confucianists with the most violent means."

"The Confucian Mansion was defeated?"

Du Taichang's expression was a little heavy, this was something he hadn't thought of, and the others were also surprised.

The Confucian Mansion is the most powerful in the world, while the Wen Mansion has been suppressed to the status of an inferior institution in all aspects, whether it is in the Ehu Society or in all aspects, but this battle has won a complete victory!
"Master Wei, who has never seen the end of the dragon, is obviously superior. For so many years, Wenfu will be ranked last in E Lake, but it is not as weak as it looks on the surface, but Master Wei has hidden many strong people." Gong Gong pinched his beard and smiled.

Yunlu is the lifeblood of the Wenfu, and this battle is extremely critical. The doctoral coefficients of the four major five classics of Xihe are present, and Kong Kaiping and Kong Yingda are as strong as clouds.

Among the three major teachings of the Wenfu, Lu Daoxuan was seriously injured, Meng Kuyin was dead, and only Yang Xiangru had the strength to fight. It seemed that there was no suspense about the outcome, but in fact, the reality slapped everyone in the face.

Some clues can be seen from this battle. During the reign of the second-generation palace master, Wenfu was the first school in the Yuling Continent, and Wei Changli's status plummeted only after he came to power.

Everyone left in a hurry, wanting to obtain more detailed information through their own channels. Over the years, not only the Confucian School, but also other schools have far underestimated the strength of the Wen School, underestimated Wei Changli, underestimated the Wen School, I am afraid that it will bring irreparable disasters when I come back.
