Myths and Dharma, starting from Erlang Shen

Chapter 297 His Majesty is back

"Three years ago, Duke Xia Houcai of Chang State connived at the soldiers, killed good men and took credit, and looted more than a hundred people in the village. The crime cannot be pardoned. From now on, he will be thrown into the sky prison."

"The Minister of Punishment, Fachang Yaizi, must be punished. He accepted bribes, abused his power for personal gain, and disregarded human life. From now on, he will be thrown into the sky prison."

"Gong Sun Pojun of the State of Wu embezzled military supplies, neglected his duties for personal gain, colluded with foreign enemies, and murdered the prince. From now on, he will be thrown into the sky prison."

……

It was early the next morning, and the morning dynasty had not yet started.

Tianwusi, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly showed his fangs.

Under the order of the prince, he directly broke into the residences of important ministers and captured important officials of the court, which was even more majestic than the Ming Dynasty Jin Yiwei.

Wang Xiang, a direct disciple of the Sword God Wang Chao, held the sword in his hand and looked at the Duke being detained by the Tianwu Guards. He couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.

No matter how powerful he was, he still fell into the hands of Tianwuwei.

I don’t know what’s going on with Master now, but I haven’t yet condensed Wang Yue’s true kingly appearance, so it should be fine. There will never be anyone more suitable for Wang Yue’s Dharma appearance than me.

But if the master sees this scene, he will definitely be very happy. His lifelong desire has been realized in his own hands.

Tianwuwei is not just a force organization responsible for guarding and suppressing the world.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiang looked in the direction of the East Palace with a hint of fanaticism in his eyes. The prince must ascend the throne. Only when the prince ascends the throne can the Tianwu Guard have such a day.

Otherwise, if the Prime Minister continues to preside over the government, he will never allow Tianwu Guard to become Jinyi Guard.

Just like the Ming Heart Sage advocated the abolition of Dongchang and Jinyiwei.

With joy in his heart, Wang Xiang detained a group of important officials and returned in a grand manner.

The Duke of Chang, the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice, and the Duke of Wu did not resist. Firstly, resisting at this moment was tantamount to fighting against the royal family and tantamount to conspiracy. Secondly, they were not worried about themselves. With the Prime Minister around, they would not let the prince do anything wrong.

As for entering the Heavenly Prison, with their Heavenly King's cultivation, they have nothing to fear.

But even so, the three heavenly kings were detained in one day, and Tianwuwei became famous in the capital.

In the capital, many officials realized that something was wrong.

The Duke of Chang was the confidant of the King of Wei, the Minister of Punishment was the humerus of the King of Han, and the Duke of Wu was the pillar of the King of Wu.

Three people were imprisoned at the same time, and the prince's intention was already obvious.

Many officials felt that the prince was too impatient and shook their heads secretly, but many others saw the hope of promotion and were eager to join the prince.

If it succeeds this time, they will be ministers of Conglong.

As for failure, they didn't think about it.

Gamblers never think about the possibility of their failure, only the possibility of winning if they succeed.

Of course, the gamblers this time generally have higher IQs, and they will make up their own minds. For example, the prince is the crown prince of the country, inherits the throne, and has a legitimate name. There are many advisers under the prince's command. If he is not completely sure, how can he do it?
There are also many people who directly took sick leave.

For example, Anle Wang.

Because he missed Emperor Qi too much, he became ill and fell ill in bed.

Then Prince Anle broke his leg for some reason and is now recovering from his injuries in the mansion.

In the entire Chang'an City, the most peaceful place should be Prince Anle's Mansion.

It's as low-key as if it doesn't exist.

When they went to court, the officials in the court had serious expressions on their faces, and they all realized that this court meeting was not going to be simple.

As the prime minister of the Qi Dynasty and the head of the hundred officials, Zhuge Qinglan's face was even more gloomy. Although he had not spoken, all the officials in the court felt the oppression of a storm coming.

After a while, the prince appeared in the court.

Zhuge Qinglan said directly: "Your Highness, I heard today that Your Highness sent the Tianwu Guards to detain Duke Chang Guo, Minister of Punishment, and Duke Wu into the prison. I don't know why?"

"The Duke of Chang, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, and the Duke of Wu violated the national law and acted according to the law, so they asked the Tianwu Guard to arrest the person. The Prime Minister does not need to pay attention to this matter." Faced with Zhuge Qinglan's questioning, the prince looked slightly uncomfortable and subconsciously The ground was a little afraid, but thinking of the abdominal pain that day and the Queen's instructions before going to court, he immediately forced himself to reply.

"Act according to the law? Duke Chang Guo, Minister of Punishment, and Duke Wu are all important ministers of the country. If they violate the national law, they need to be tried and convicted by the three departments. But I don't know when your highness will be interrogated?" Zhuge Qinglan looked directly at the prince with burning eyes.

"The evidence of their crimes has been conclusive. His Highness saw it correctly and ordered their arrest. Before leaving, His Majesty ordered the Crown Prince to supervise the country. As a minister, the Prime Minister will execute whatever orders the Lord gives. What are you doing now? Coercing the Crown Prince and forcing the palace. "Seeing that the prince was still hesitant, Grand Master Yuan Jue stood up boldly and looked directly at Zhuge Qinglan.

When Yuan Jue said the word "forced into the palace", the whole hall was in an uproar.

"Before Your Majesty leaves, the prince supervises the country and I assist in the administration. If the prince makes a mistake, I will naturally correct it. Or can it be said that what the prince did today was the intention of the grand master?" Zhuge Qinglan's eyes flashed. Then, a vast coercion circulated.

In the court, the British Duke's expression changed upon seeing this, and he stepped out boldly, following closely behind the Grand Master. A chilling aura filled the entire court, and for an instant it was as if he had fallen into the Asura Hell. Most of the officials facing him were trembling slightly.

With the help of the British Duke, Yuan Jue's confidence greatly increased. He looked at Zhuge Qinglan and said: "The prince is the prince, and the king is the guide for his ministers. We are just ministers. The king has an order, and we must be loyal to him. Even if we go through fire and water, it is natural. Assistance The duty of a king is not to question the king or doubt the king. In other words, the prime minister is not willing to do this, and he wants to "lead the government to the Ge family" like Wu Hou, or should he go further and add ten tins like what Wu Hou said at the beginning? "

"Unbridled!" A rare anger appeared on Zhuge Qinglan's face, and the spiritual energy around his body surged. In an instant, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged crazily, and the terrifying Eight Diagrams shadow enveloped the entire hall, creating a terrifying pressure that made people palpitate. Sweeping up, all the ministers in the court, including the King of Heaven, all felt that they had lost the power to control their own bodies, like puppets, being manipulated by others, with infinite fear in their hearts.

When the three kings' subordinates saw this scene, they were overjoyed. They thought that the Yuan family didn't know how to live or die, and they actually dared to anger the prime minister.

The addition of ten tins comes from an allusion from the Shu Han Dynasty.

Liu Bei was angry and raised his troops to avenge Guan Yu's defeat. He fell in Baidi City soon after. Among them, Li Yan was also one of Liu Bei's Tuogu ministers, but his status and power were inferior to Zhuge Wuhou.

Li Yan once wrote a letter to persuade Zhuge Wuhou to add nine tins and become a king, and then his status would naturally improve.

But Zhuge Wuhou wrote back, first admitting that Dongfang Corporal, everything was a special experience of the late emperor, and he had received enough, and then he said that the great cause has not been accomplished, Wei has not been destroyed, and he should be ashamed. What qualifications do he have to say that he can be crowned king? Woolen cloth?
Finally, let’s draw a big picture. If one day Cao Wei is destroyed, Cao Rui is beheaded, Adou returns to the old capital, and the Han Dynasty is restored, we will be promoted together. Not to mention nine tins, but ten tins, so what?

In general, even if the enemy is not destroyed yet, Cao Wei still has a strong force. We should unite and fight together. Don't just think about getting promoted and making a fortune. Don't think about these things. Let's fight against Cao Wei together and take the cake. If it gets bigger, we will give you rewards when the time comes.

Li Yan was dissatisfied, and then proposed to set aside five counties in Yizhou as Bazhou. He would be the governor of Bazhou and hold great power. Zhuge Wuhou decisively rejected him. There was only one Yizhou in total, such a big place. , and also divided Bazhou. Afterwards, Li Yanhuai had a grudge and caused trouble during the Northern Expedition, and then he was dismissed from office and became a commoner.

Later, Zhuge Liang passed away. Li Yan felt that no one in the world would use him anymore, so he became angry and died of illness.

Now using this matter to attack Zhuge Qinglan is an insult to our ancestors.
Isn't this a typical fight?

The terrifying coercion circulated. Even the British Duke felt a strong pressure, and his face showed a solemn look. He was already at the peak of the Heavenly King. Among the great Qi, except for Wen Guogong, he was not afraid of even Wei Guogong. , the first time I felt such strong pressure in the territory of Tianwang.

In the Yuan family's old house, in a courtyard that has not been disturbed by outsiders all year round, a tall ginkgo tree grows, with large leaves falling, which is extremely gorgeous.

Under the ginkgo tree, an old man with silver hair and a slightly stooped figure also felt the aura in the palace. He raised his head slightly and a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes. Is this the strength of this generation of inheritors of Zhuge Kongming's Dharma?
He is really strong. He is nearly a hundred years younger than me, but his strength is not inferior to mine. No, in Chang'an, he may even be better than me.

The Zhuge family is indeed very difficult to deal with. Is there really no way to defeat them other than beating them to death?
The old man looked thoughtful, sighed, closed his eyes again, and lay on the rocking chair, as if nothing happened.

If we attack directly, there is no chance of winning, but with the prince here, Zhuge Qinglan will lose in this round.

After all, his surname is not Sima.

The old man took a nap, but the situation in the court was still turbulent, and there was also a commotion among the imperial troops outside the palace.

The prince in the court felt it very deeply, because he was not yet the king of heaven. Feeling this terrifying power, he felt an inexplicable panic. The prime minister is really strong. Among Daqi, except for the old immortal Nanhua, he should be First.

I just couldn't help but think of the previous conversation with the Queen and the Grand Master.

"The biggest sin of a minister is not to be disloyal, but to have the strength to rebel. It doesn't matter whether he has the intention to rebel. The real problem is that as long as he wants to rebel, he can rebel at any time. And Zhuge Qinglan is such a person ”

At that time, he retorted that the prime minister would not be such a person.

Not to mention Zhuge Qinglan's character, the Dharma also proves his character.

"Knowing people knows their faces but not their hearts, but the character of Dharma and the character of the condenser are not exactly the same, and there are discrepancies. Moreover, Zhuge Wuhou did not rebel at that time because Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage three times and knew the kindness of the encounter. Without Liu Bei, Zhuge Kongming would have It is difficult for a man of great talent to realize his ambition, but does your Majesty really have such kindness for the Prime Minister?"

This is Yuan Jue's answer.

The prince looked at Zhuge Qinglan below, showing a tangled expression, and then gritted his teeth and said: "Prime Minister, these things were done by Gu. Does the Prime Minister want to jail Gu now? If so, the Prime Minister can do it now."

"Your Highness?"

Zhuge Qinglan's expression changed slightly, a little unbelievable, and then he took back his breath and said: "I have no such intention."

"Really? Gu Huidao, the prime minister wants to intimidate Gu?" The prince looked condescendingly and looked directly at Zhuge Qinglan. Everyone in the court looked at the prince, and Ju Wenqing and Tian Hao even frowned.

"Before your Majesty leaves, he asked me to assist you in the administration. I dare not neglect you." Zhuge Qinglan said.

"It's to assist the government, not to seize power, right?" the prince continued.

"Yes." Zhuge Qinglan said.

"Okay, in that case, Duke Chang Guo, Minister of Criminal Affairs, and Duke Wu are guilty. What's wrong with being arrested and interrogated alone? If it is found that there is no fault, they will naturally be released. Why should the Prime Minister be anxious?" Zhuge Qinglan took it back. Aura, the prince gradually became more courageous.

"Your Highness, the country has national laws, and there are also laws for dealing with ministers." Zhuge Qinglan said.

"Then I set up a new method to imitate the Jinyiwei, expand the power of the Tianwuwei, and imitate the Ming Dynasty." The prince said word by word.

"The Jinyi Guards act without asking about the law or right or wrong. They only cater to the king's preferences. This is not the right path and should not be allowed in the Qi Dynasty. Although His Highness oversees the country, it cannot be established." Zhuge Qinglan said.

"If you can't supervise the country, can you, the Emperor of Heaven?" The prince looked down at Zhuge Qinglan and said.

Zhuge Qinglan's eyes changed slightly, and he vaguely realized something, and said: "Of course the emperor can do it, but without His Majesty, no one can set this law."

"What the Prime Minister said is absolutely true. The emperor was in trouble and unfortunately passed away in Xiliang. Now that the prince is in charge, the country cannot be without a master for a day. It is the time for His Highness to succeed to the throne. Please take over the throne."

After Zhuge Qinglan finished speaking, Taishi Yuan Jue immediately took over the conversation, and after finishing his words, he knelt on the ground.

"Please take over the throne."

After Yuan Jue, the British Duke followed closely. Immediately afterwards, the disciples of the Yuan family in the court fell to their knees one after another.

Seeing this scene, both the three kings' subordinates and the neutral faction's expressions changed drastically, and they subconsciously looked at the prime minister.

The news of Emperor Qi's death has not yet been confirmed. If he succeeds to the throne, there will be endless troubles.

The few ministers who really didn't know about Emperor Qi's death were shocked. Did the Grand Master directly confirm this news?
"absurd!"

Zhuge Qinglan looked ugly. He roared and a terrifying air current surged in the Jinluan Palace, causing the expressions of all the ministers to change.

"After the father dies, the son succeeds. This has been the case since ancient times. How does the Prime Minister think it is absurd? Does the Prime Minister think that His Highness should not succeed?" The Grand Master looked at Zhuge Qinglan and said.

Zhuge Qinglan ignored him, looked at the prince and said, "Your Highness, Daqi has its own laws and cannot act rashly. But now that His Majesty's whereabouts are unknown, His Majesty should wait until news of His Majesty's succession comes."

"The Prime Minister is confused. Normally, he would have to wait until the news is confirmed, but now there is a problem with the guards at Chongguan, Loucheng and other checkpoints. They colluded with Xiliang, causing His Majesty's letters to be blocked and unable to reach Chang'an in time. There is no doubt that here, Under such circumstances, how can His Majesty support his army alone? And the news of His Majesty's death has been proven many times. Now that the rebellion in Xiliang is imminent, we should support the new king and stabilize the country, just like the Ming Dynasty when Yingzong was captured and Daizong succeeded. Average." Yuan Jue said.

Zhuge Qinglan still ignored him, but looked at the prince and said: "Is this also the prince's idea?"

"This is your beloved minister's decision. I haven't thought about it yet, but the Prime Minister is really worried. Does the Prime Minister not want Gu to succeed to the throne, and then the government will always be managed by the Prime Minister?" the prince said.

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the ministers in the court changed again. Tian Hao couldn't bear it anymore and stepped out and said: "Your Highness, the Prime Minister has absolutely no such intention."

Please clear your mind!

Zhuge Qinglan's expression changed several times. He actually had a lot of expectations for the prince. Although the princes in the past were not particularly outstanding, they still had a benevolent heart and could listen to advice. It was enough to be a loyal king, but today... …

Zhuge Qinglan shook his head slightly, leaned over and said: "I am old and frail. I have been feeling more and more tired recently from taking care of the government affairs. I would like to take up my official position and retire to my hometown."

"Prime Minister!"

The Manchu Dynasty was in an uproar again. Over the years, everyone had become accustomed to the Prime Minister's management. It can be said that Da Qi can live without Emperor Qi, but it cannot live without Zhuge Qinglan.

Now that Zhuge Qinglan has retired and returned to his hometown, it will be a real earthquake in Daqi.

The expressions of the three kings' subordinates have changed dramatically. If Zhuge Qinglan retires and returns to his hometown, then no one can really stop the prince.

Once the prince ascends the throne, it is irreversible.

Seeing Zhuge Qinglan's resignation, the prince's face also showed a look of shock, and the prime minister actually resigned.

If the prime minister is forced to resign, then...

"Your Highness, the Prime Minister has worked hard for many years and it is indeed time for him to rest. I would like to ask Your Highness for permission to grant the Prime Minister a hundred acres of fertile land and a thousand taels of gold." Yuan Jue said.

"Please give me your grace, Your Highness." After Yuan Jue finished speaking, countless people responded.

The prince couldn't get off the tiger. After thinking for a while, he said: "Yes."

"Your Highness!"

When Ju Wenqing and Tian Hao saw this scene, they were so anxious that they almost wanted to hit someone.

Now either His Majesty dies, or the Xiliang army is about to attack, are you willing, Prime Minister, to resign and return home? Do you want to die?

Or if His Majesty had not passed away, would you dare to depose him as Prime Minister? Do you want to die?
In other words, do you want to die?
"Thank you, Your Highness." Zhuge Qinglan saluted immediately.

After that, Zhuge Qinglan turned around and left, no longer discussing politics.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked and at a loss. Grand Master Yuan Jue took charge of the affairs of the court and agreed to inform the ancestral temple and ascend the throne three days later.

After Ju Wenqing and Tian Hao went to court, they went to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but the Prime Minister's Mansion thanked guests behind closed doors and was rejected.

Zhuge Qinglan, who seemed to have been hit, secretly controlled the palace defense through Zhao Yuan, the commander of the Forbidden Army, and controlled the other Tianwu Guards of the Tianwu Division through Tong Zhan's disciple Tong Yi. At the same time, he ordered the Jiang family to control the city gates and guard the entire Chang'an. After holding the city completely in his hands, he roughly calculated the time. After the estimated time of Emperor Qi's return, he completely turned his back on everything outside the window. He was either accompanying his wife to make mechanical puppets or checking his son's homework. It seemed like nothing happened. Nothing happened, it's like I don't have to worry about anything.

Feel free to love him, he is not his biological son anyway.

Even if he refuses to call me "xiangfu", he is worse than the King of Anle.

I'll handle it myself when His Majesty comes back. It's good that he's been dismissed now.

Three days later, everything was arranged in full swing.

Outside Chang'an, on the sky, several figures floated past.

But it was Emperor Qi who learned the news, abandoned his large army and came back early.

It has only been a little while since the news of my death reached Chang'an, just over half a month, and the Prime Minister will be deposed.

He is really my good son.

The kings of Wei and Han who followed Emperor Qi had serious faces, with a faint look of anger on their faces, but there was a smile deep in their eyes.

How to do?
I really can't help it.

But it’s not okay to laugh at this time.

Even though both of them are famous for keeping their emotions and anger secretive, they really can't help it now.

Originally it was mainly to trick the third child, but I didn't expect the fourth child to be so cooperative.

Even if he succeeds to the throne, it can be said that he thinks that his father is dead, but he still dares to depose the prime minister!

Zhu Qi killed Yu Qian, and Zhao Gou killed Yue Fei, leaving the two of them in the top two positions without any doubt. Is the fourth brother going to compete for third place?
Fortunately, the prime minister is at the peak of the heavenly king, and the fourth child cannot be killed.

It's really wonderful.

The person the prime minister likes may not be the future prince, but the person the prime minister dislikes will definitely not be the future prince.

Together with Zhang Jingshou and Lu Shang, Ji Ren, who was riding on Wen Guogong's Sirius King, was also full of expectations, great fun, absolute great fun.

If you miss this fun, you don’t know when we will see you next time.
