Chapter 37 Soldier Disaster

Prince Zhuang Feng Huaiqi stood among the group of people in the royal family, and was secretly anxious. Looking at today's situation, whether Prince Min Feng Minzhi or Prime Minister Hai Guanyu, they were all on the side of the Empress Xiao, and they didn't know what they were fighting. Although he had made complete preparations in advance, he still did not expect that these old ministers who supported Feng Wuhen would suddenly turn against each other. This is completely unreasonable. It should be noted that Feng Wuxi, the Prince of Ning, was just a child with Huangkou and had no experience in handling political affairs. If the country was handed over to such a person, how could those veterans and important officials in the court feel at ease?

Feng Huaiqi was thinking about it here. Xu Wenxi, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel, took a step and said with a serious expression: "The old prime minister is such a bad word. Now that the emperor has passed away, some people suspect that it is a manifestation of everyone's loyalty to the court. The so-called imperial physician should do his best to protect the emperor's dragon body. However, this kind of rumors are rumored at this moment. Although it hurts the queen's reputation, it is necessary to investigate it clearly." He seemed not to see the dark faces of several old ministers on both sides, and continued, "The state has national laws and family rules. As the head of the six palaces, can the empress give an explanation to the ministers? If the emperor dies yesterday night, why not immediately summon all officials to discuss and delay it until today?"

Xu Wenxi is usually silent in the Ministry of Personnel, and everything is dominated by Xiao Yunchao, the Minister of Personnel, and Mi Jingfu, the Left Minister of Personnel, but today he is suddenly so aggressive, which really surprised many court officials. However, more people are guessing the implications of these words. First, Feng Huaishu, the Left Minister of Works, made a statement and provoked the empress's authority, and then Xu Wenxi, the Right Minister of Personnel, ignored Hai Guanyu's warning. Anyone who is interested knows that today's court meeting will probably have to pick out a lot of things, and it seems that it is difficult to give up.

Bao Huasheng, who had never spoken, finally stood up, his face, which was quite cold and solemn on his usual days, was covered with frost. "Mr. Feng, Lord Xu, as the ministers of the six ministries, you are respectful. At this time, you do not want to stabilize the court, but instead question the queen aggressively. Is this the truth of being a minister?" Although he is much younger than Hai Guanyu and Feng Minzhi, his prestige in the court is no less than that of the two. Moreover, he said this with anger, and it was cold for a moment.

Bao Huasheng took another step forward and pressed the two men who were still full of momentum just now, with their eyes shining brightly. "The Queen has not announced the will yet, so you dare to doubt the reason for the death of the emperor. Don't you know that the emperor has been seriously ill before? The Queen is the supreme mother of the world. If she really concealed the fact that the emperor died, there must be her reason. How can she get us to be so arrogant?" He became more and more angry as he spoke, and he took another step forward, which was so shocked that Feng Huaishu and Xu Wenxi retreated repeatedly.

Seeing that the act of establishing authority had been effective, Bao Huasheng suddenly turned around and knelt respectfully and said: "I respectfully asked the Empress to declare the emperor's will, and asked to establish a new king early to calm the hearts of the court officials and the people."

Hai Guanyu and Feng Minzhi nodded secretly. Although the only drawback was that Feng Wuhen had not yet had time to rush back, judging from the situation just now, the Queen Xiao really couldn't delay any more. They were all people who knew the pros and cons. They just pressed with force, but there were still people who dared to stand up. It seemed that some people could not help it. Otherwise, how could they have attacked when the emperor just passed away? Thinking of this, the two of them knelt down and asked, "Please declare the emperor's will!"

There were many Hai disciples and officials of the Xiao party in the court. They were shocked just now, so they didn't have time to move. Seeing that Hai Guanyu and the three old ministers seemed to have made up their minds, He Weitao and Yue Qianfan stood up at the same time. At this point, they could only bet on the eyes of these three veterans in the court. If Xiao insisted on establishing Feng Wuxi, they would definitely not believe that the three people could do this.

As a result, there were more officials who agreed, and knelt all over the ground, even He Mobin was among them. He had indescribable difficulties. After being threatened by Prince Zhuang, although he reluctantly agreed to the other party's conditions, he was still worried afterwards. Now that the emperor has passed away, as long as the He clan can stand on the opposite side, there may be a way out in the future. Therefore, after winking at the several important officials on his side, he followed the team without hesitation.

Prince Zhuang was almost so angry that he was so angry that his orifices were filled with smoke when he saw this. Although Feng Huanyu had been working hard for many years, he could not match the power of He Xiao's two families. He saw a group of ministers standing out with a strong affair. The old princes standing on the side seemed particularly conspicuous. He could even feel the cold gaze from behind the pearl curtain, and the vest was completely wet.

Seeing that the fire was almost over, Xiao was about to declare the emperor's will, but he heard a commotion outside the hall. Even a group of court officials couldn't help but look out. Yu Xinqi, who was supposed to be in charge of the infantry commander's yamen, rushed into the hall in panic, as if he didn't see the ugly faces of the people around him. He knelt on the ground with a trembling voice: "Qi reported to the Empress, Lord He from the West, and someone secretly assassinated the leader of the Myanmar tribe, Sang Mo, a leader of the Myanmar tribe, and secretly pointed the actions of the imperial court. Now, the Myanmar tribe has joined forces with dozens of small tribes around and sent 50,000 troops to attack the nearby prefectures. Unexpectedly, two prefectures and three counties have fallen, and countless people in the court have been massacred."

The sudden bad news shocked everyone in the court. Even Xiao, who had secretly hated Yu Xinqi to disrupt the situation just now, felt dizzy. Such an amazing event occurred at this moment, and the coincidence was not accidental. When she remembered the emperor's instructions before her death, her eyebrows were completely twisted together. The ministers below were not much better. Although everyone knew that the Myanyang tribe had always been disobeyed by the court's control, she never expected that someone would stir up a major change in the tribe at this time, which would then cause another military disaster.

Feng Wuhen, who was hiding in the back hall, was also shocked, but he was thinking about this matter. The two officials' successive attacks just now had him seen a little sign. Now such an emergency has emerged from a distance, and the timing can be said to be just right. If someone really has such a big move, then it is impossible for someone to be someone except Feng Huanyu. He pressed forward step by step like a chess, and this measure is extremely accurate. If he did not return to the capital in time, someone would probably make a fuss about this matter.

Xiao took a deep breath and quickly calmed down. The discussions of the ministers in the court were instantly filtered by her. She focused her attention on the faces with different expressions. Sure enough, the old princes who were still standing aside just now showed strange colors. Although they were not as obvious as being overjoyed, they did not look confused. Since she had already had a scheming in her heart, she no longer hesitated and shouted in a deep voice: "You guys, although the military situation is urgent, it is not right to discuss this matter at this time. I should wait until this palace will announce the emperor's will before making any decision!" When the ministers were clamoring before, she had already made a gesture to Rouping beside her, asking the confidant maid to retreat first.

The noise in the court could not be suppressed by Xiao's simple words, but they soon became quiet. At some point, a group of guards with waist knives were surrounded outside the hall. This was not counting. The heavy footsteps outside also indicate the mobilization of the imperial guards in the imperial city. If anyone moves rashly at this time, the fate will be worrying. Even Hai Guanyu and the other two couldn't help but look at each other, and they were also a little nervous.

Xiao seemed to see the fear on everyone's faces, and then stood up naturally. Even through the pearl curtain, her graceful figure still appeared faintly. "You guys, now the situation is urgent, so I will take the imperial edict of Emperor Xuandaxing first."

Shi Liushun, who was serving around, immediately took the will handed over by Xiao, and carried it out respectfully, and then recited loudly:

According to the will of heaven, the emperor ordered: Since I ascended the throne in my prime, I have obtained eleven princes. Only the seventh prince Feng Wuhen is of great character and is worthy of my character. He is worthy of being a king and will be able to inherit the great throne. Therefore, he has made him the crown prince. The crown prince Feng Wuhen inherited the throne to succeed Lingyun Pixu. I respect this! The imperial letter was written on May 23, 2019.

After this will, Hai Guanyu and others immediately kowtowed and claimed in unison: "I will obey the order of the late emperor!" Since the elders took the lead, the others dared not be negligent, and they all kowtowed unevenly. Even the two men who were still verbally whispered just now could only bow down and respond. Prince Zhuang Feng Huaiqi and others were shocked when they heard the content of the will. They did not expect that Xiao's previous move to acquiesce Feng Wuxi's arrogance and Zhang Qian, the admiral of the Nine Gate, was completely frustrated. What they really supported was Feng Wuhen on the road. For a moment, these people were completely confused.

However, they had offended Xiao before, and Feng Huaishu and Xu Wenxi blatantly questioned the cause of the emperor's death. In this way, as long as the Empress Xiao ordered Feng Wuhen to take down these two people with the honorific of the queen, everything about them would be exposed under severe punishment.

A sharp light flashed in Feng Huaide, the prince of Qing County, and said in a verdict that everyone agreed: "Report to the Empress, the war disaster in the southwest has begun. Once it reaches the northwest, it is difficult to ensure that these foreign tribes will not have any other intentions. Although His Royal Highness was the crown prince personally appointed by the late emperor Yukou, when he was not in the capital, he would not be able to deal with many affairs. It would be better to choose a wise man among the kings as the auxiliary king. Otherwise, if major military and national affairs are delayed, they will be difficult in the future and will damage the country." He had to stand up. As long as he could take advantage of Feng Wuhen's absence in the capital, he would still have hope in the future. Even if the position of the auxiliary king fell into the hands of other princes, he might be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman in the future.
