The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

Chapter 42 Reversal
The ministers who supported Daiwang came out one after another, asking Emperor Wu of Zhou to add beads to Daiwang.

The ministers who supported the prince naturally came out one after another to oppose Dai Wang Jiazhu.

Other ministers who supported the third, fifth, and sixth princes of course hoped to add beads on behalf of the king, so that the third princes would also add beads when they became adults.However, today they did not open their mouths to go along with the people from the Royal Party, but stood aside, calmly watching the dispute between the people from the Royal Party and the Princeling Party.

The ministers of the acting king's party and the prince's party started arguing again.However, they did not dare to quarrel like before.

Emperor Wu of Zhou sat on the dragon chair, propped his face with his right hand, and looked playfully at the arguing ministers.

The ministers lowered their voices and argued, but their saliva sprayed on each other's faces.Not only that, they all blushed and had thick necks.However, Xuan Pinghou and Zhen Guogong, as the leaders of the Daiwang Party and the Prince's Party, stood quietly in their seats without saying a word.

Emperor Zhou Wu looked at Xuan Pinghou and Zhen Guogong who seemed to be out of the way, with an inexplicable smile raised at the corner of his mouth.

"Xuanpinghou."

When Xuan Pinghou heard Emperor Wu of Zhou calling him, he immediately bowed and saluted: "The minister is here."

"Do you think I should add beads to the Dai Wang?" Emperor Wu of Zhou had a gentle smile on his face, and his tone was very casual, as if chatting after dinner.

Xuan Pinghou's heart trembled, and his expression became serious.

"I dare not speculate on the holy will."

Hearing Xuan Pinghou's answer, Emperor Wu of Zhou was not surprised at all.He changed his posture, leaning against the left armrest of the dragon chair, crossing his legs, and resting his right hand on his knee, as if he was not sitting.

"I'm not asking you to speculate on my thoughts, but to ask you, do you think you should add beads to Dai Wang?"

Xuan Pinghou raised his head and glanced at Emperor Wu of Zhou.Seeing that Emperor Wu of Zhou looked indifferent, he couldn't guess what Emperor Wu of Zhou meant.

After so many days of quarreling about Daiwang Jiazhu, this was the first time Emperor Wu of Zhou asked Xuanpinghou this question.

Xuan Pinghou didn't answer in a hurry, but thought for a while.

"If you go back to the emperor, I think you should add beads to the acting king."

Emperor Wu of Zhou was slightly surprised when he heard Hou Xuanping's direct answer.You must know that Xuan Pinghou would never ask for rewards for the acting king in the matter of rewarding the acting king.

"What's the reason?"

Xuan Pinghou said in a respectful tone: "Your Majesty, Liangzhou has been in rebellion for a long time, and it has always been a serious problem for the court. There are hundreds of thousands of rebellious troops in Liangzhou this time. If the king does not put down the rebellious army, the consequences will be disastrous. "Speaking of which, he didn't go on.

He did not list all the military exploits made by the king like other ministers did, nor did he say in detail how dangerous and serious Liangzhou's rebellion was this time, nor did he say that if Liangzhou fell, the rebel army would approach Yongzhou. The capital will be in danger.

It's not that Xuan Pinghou didn't want to say more, he didn't dare to say more.It would be bad if he talked too much.Furthermore, these words should not be said by him, after all, he is the uncle of the acting king.

According to the past, Marquis Xuan Ping would never say such words as adding beads to Dai Wang.It's not good for him to say this.However, Emperor Wu of Zhou did not let go of his promise to add beads to the Dai Wang for a long time, and the Dai Wang will arrive in Beijing in the afternoon.Xuan Pinghou was worried that the matter of adding beads would not be settled, so he uncharacteristically said that he should add beads to the king.

Xuanpinghou was also waiting for Emperor Wu of Zhou to ask him.Emperor Wu of Zhou didn't ask him, so he couldn't directly say what he said just now.Also, he gave the answer so directly and with certainty, which also showed his attitude to Emperor Wu of Zhou.

Emperor Wu of Zhou looked at Lord Zhen Guo, who stood at the top of the line on the left, and asked, "Mr. Zhen, do you think we should add beads to Dai Wang?"

Duke Zhen Guo came out, first saluted Emperor Wu of Zhou, and then said respectfully: "If you go back to the emperor, I think you should add beads to the acting king."

As soon as he said this, all the ministers of the court looked at him with horror.Even Emperor Wu of Zhou was surprised.

The ministers thought to themselves, what happened to Zhen Guo today, is it bewitched?Otherwise, how could he agree to add beads to the acting king.

Xuan Pinghou was surprised at first, then frowned, and looked at Duke Zhen Guo vigilantly and sharply.

What is Lord Zhen Guo planning?
Emperor Wu of Zhou came back to his senses, sat up straight and asked, "Why?"

"Your Majesty, Marquis Xuan Ping just said that if the king hadn't quelled the hundreds of thousands of rebels in Liangzhou this time, Liangzhou would definitely fall. Once Liangzhou fell, hundreds of thousands of rebels would definitely attack Yongzhou. It is very dangerous." Duke Zhen continued, "Furthermore, Dai Wang has quelled many rebellions in the past few years, and has made great achievements in the stability of the Great Zhou. Without the Dai Wang, there would be no stable Da Zhou. Reason, everyone should add beads to the Dai Wang. I implore the emperor to add beads to the Dai Wang." After speaking, he knelt down.

The ministers who supported the prince's party all looked at Duke Zhen with dumbfounded expressions. They couldn't believe that Duke Zhen had "betrayed" them and the prince.

The ministers who supported Daiwang's party looked at Duke Zhen in shock, and they couldn't believe that Duke Zhen supported Daiwang Jiazhu.Today's Lord Zhen Guo is really weird, he must be bewitched!
Xuan Pinghou's face changed drastically, he cursed Duke Zhen in his heart.He knew that Lord Zhen Guo had no good intentions.

What Duke Zhen said just now sounded like he was supporting Dai Wang Jiazhu, but he was actually praising Dai Wang.

Xuan Pinghou was about to go out and refute Zhen Guogong's words.At this time, the prince suddenly said: "Father, the sons also feel that we should add beads to the acting king."

The prince's words caused a storm in the court.No matter the ministers of the royal party or the ministers who supported the prince were shocked.

What's going on today, Duke Zhen and the prince are bewitched?

Could it be that Dai Wang cast a sorcery on the prince and Zhen Guogong to get them to agree to add beads?

Emperor Wu of Zhou was amused by the expressions of the ministers.He asked the prince with interest: "Prince, do you really think you should add beads to the king?"

"Father, the acting king should be added..." The prince also told about the military exploits that the acting king had made before.He said it very sincerely. "Father, the acting king is the God of War of our Great Zhou. With him around, the Great Zhou's country will become more and more stable. If you just let him be an ordinary prince, it would be too wronged for him."

After hearing what the prince said, Emperor Wu of Zhou was not surprised at all.He was not surprised to hear the prince's words after he heard the words of Lord Zhen Guo.If the crown prince said these words in front of Duke Zhen, Emperor Wu of Zhou would be surprised.

"Then how many beads do you think should be added to the king?"

The prince said: "I remember that in the previous dynasty, King Yun was given eight beads. King Yun did not make such great military exploits as King Dai. He can be added beads, so King Dai should be given eight beads. "

Add eight beads to Daiwang? !
The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty gasped in shock.They couldn't believe their ears, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually took the initiative to ask for more beads for the acting king, and he still added eight beads!
Add eight beads, but it's no different from a prince!Adding eight beads on behalf of the king will be able to sit on an equal footing with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually made Dai Wang sit on an equal footing with him. It seems that the Crown Prince was really bewitched, and the bewitching was serious!

Zhen Guogong immediately echoed: "Your Majesty, what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is that for the merits he has done on behalf of the king, he should be named the Prince of Eight Pearls!"

Xuan Ping Hou hurriedly knelt down: "Your Majesty, no!" At this time, Xuan Ping Hou fully understood what tricks the prince and Duke Zhen were playing.

Duke Zhen looked at Xuanpinghou puzzledly: "Xuanpinghou, didn't you just say that you should add beads to the king, why did you say no?"

"Xuan Pinghou, the acting king has made so many contributions to the Great Zhou Dynasty, he should be added as a pearl."

Xuan Pinghou didn't have time to talk to Duke Zhen and the crown prince, so he hurriedly said to Emperor Wu of Zhou: "Your Majesty, it is his duty to put an end to the chaos on behalf of the king. As a prince, he should share the worries of the emperor. I was stupid just now, and said something I shouldn't have said. , the acting king should not add beads."

Some ministers heard Xuan Pinghou's words, and immediately understood the intentions of the prince and Zhen Guogong.They were shocked and knelt down in fright: "Your Majesty, adding beads is the rule of the previous dynasty, not our rule. Our dynasty cannot use the rules of the previous dynasty to add beads to the acting king."

The ministers of the prince's party also understood at this time, and they also knelt down quickly, begging Emperor Wu of Zhou to add beads for the acting king.

Just a moment ago, the ministers of the Daiwang Party supported Daiwang Jiazhu, and the ministers of the Prince's Party strongly opposed Daiwang Jiazhu.But now, the ministers of the prince's party support Dai Wang Jiazhu, while the ministers of the Dai Wang party desperately oppose it, which is really unexpected.

He Xiang, Song Dekang and the others did not expect that the matter of acting on behalf of Wang Jiazhu would be reversed, which they never expected.

Emperor Wu of Zhou didn't seem surprised at this reversal.Still, he was amused by the reversal.

He deliberately pointed to the ministers who clamored to add beads to the king a moment ago and said, "Didn't you just support adding beads to the king?"

"I am stupid, please punish me!"

"It is you who want me to add beads to the acting king, and you are the ones who don't want me to add beads to the acting king." Zhou Wudi said, slowly got up and walked to the front, looked at the ministers kneeling below, and asked with a smile, "You Is this teasing me?"

The ministers who said this were terrified, and they hurriedly kowtowed to plead guilty: "I dare not wait!"

　Xuan Ping Hou: You should add beads to the Dai Wang.

　　Duke Zhen: Yes, you must add beads to the Dai Wang, eight beads.

　　Prince: Let Dai Wang sit on an equal footing with Guping.

　　Xuan Ping Hou: You are so vicious!Your Majesty, the subject is wrong, His Royal Highness should not add beads!
