Chapter 893: Brother and Brother

At this time, the Empress Dowager finally reacted. Chen Ao's actions just now made her unable to react. She looked at Chen Ao in a complicated mood and suddenly felt that this person stood above Danxiong and had a bit of a dominance of the world.

The Empress Dowager was shocked and immediately whispered to Jingde. Jingde nodded, stood up, and said loudly: "The Empress Dowager's decree."

This scream brought everyone to their senses.

Chen Ao walked down Danxi and fell to the ground: "My minister Chen Ao received the will."

All civil and military officials knelt down one after another: "Minist receiving the order."

The original imperial edict was naturally impossible to recite. After all, Zhao Huan's previous crime was just anger and resentment from heaven, and was just a foolish and inhumane. But now, these crimes are pale and powerless. The real crime is just the name of father-killing, which is enough to make him die without burial.

Although the emperor was sacred and was ordered by heaven, his true orthodoxy was inherited from blood. Only with the blood of the royal family was legitimate under the etiquette system of the eldest son. Zhao Huan was the eldest son, and it was precisely this etiquette passed down from ancient times that gave him this title.

However, there is a vague power of restraint, that is, etiquette. If etiquette does not exist, the country will perish. Therefore, for this world, etiquette and law are the most important. Etiquette and law can be used to restrain subjects and also to restrain palaces. What Zhao Huan violated was the most intolerable one of etiquette and law--the father-killing and the king-killing.

The reason why the king, minister, father, son, and Zhao Huan are respected is because of this sentence in etiquette and law. However, once he kills his father and his lord, he has already destroyed this law. The orthodoxy he inherits from Zhao Ji has become gone.

Jingde adapted to the situation and said directly: "The Empress Dowager's imperial edict: Prince Zhao Huan killed the king and the emperor, and he was entangled with the thief and stealing the country. Now he has been executed..."

This imperial decree is also a final conclusion and is a summary.

But at the end of the imperial edict, this was said: "The country cannot be without a king for a day. Now the late emperor has died. All the ministers can quickly elect the children of virtuous royal families and inherit the throne to peace with the country."

After reciting respect for virtue, I have retreated aside.

After Zhao Huan finished, the person who presided over the court discussion naturally became Chen Ao. Chen Ao sat on the chair under Danxi and said, "Donalds, the order of the Empress Dowager has clearly stated that the country cannot be without a king for a day, but I don't know who can inherit the throne among the royal family?"

The civil and military officials of the court finally got excited. No matter what, the most important thing now is to choose a new emperor. Zhao Huan is more than enough to die, but this country still has to have someone to decide. Many people already have candidates in their hearts, but when things come, they become cautious.

It's so weird. Killing Zhao Heng would never be the regent. So the Empress Dowager, have you not discussed with the regent before? There must have been a discussion. Moreover, today's court discussion was originally a collusion between the Empress Dowager and the regent. Since they have decided to get rid of Zhao Huan, do they have no candidate for a new emperor in their hearts?

There must be candidates, now it’s just a formality, and it’s up to you to say.

Who can stand in this martial arts palace? Who is not an old fox who has been through the officialdom for a long time? After thinking about it, I immediately figured it out. Since it was a formality, I rashly recommended a prince. If the Empress Dowager and the Auxiliary Emperor are not satisfied, they will inevitably have opinions about themselves. It is better not to have trouble at this time. If you are not careful, you will capsize in the gutter.

So the whole palace was silent again.

Chen Ao seemed a little dissatisfied and asked again: "It's urgent, don't worry too much, just talk freely."

Everyone pretended to be confused, and some people said, "Your Highness, I am stupid, please ask the Empress Dowager and Your Highness to choose the wise."

Chen Ao couldn't help laughing, and knew these old foxes a little deeper, and said, "How dare I make the decision? Of course, the Empress Dowager should decide on the matter of the clan society."

Everyone kicked the ball to Chen Ao, and Chen Ao simply kicked the ball to the Empress Dowager. Playing the ball to the Empress Dowager is the best thing for those present, and their level will definitely make future national football teams admire him.

When the Empress Dowager heard this, she couldn't help but be angry and asked her to say that she could say that King Jin could do it, right? Of course, this was the repeated begging of the ministers and the assisted King. The Empress Dowager hesitated again and again, and pushed her back for a few more times, and finally hesitated and accepted it.

The Empress Dowager couldn't help but glared at Chen Ao and said lightly: "The Ai family is a wife family. How can you know about the affairs of the outside court? You are all pillars of the country. Of course, what do you say about the Ai family?"

As a result, no one said it, and they all pretended to be fools. The officials didn't say it because they were afraid of saying the wrong thing. It would be fine if they spoke freely in their daily lives, but at this critical moment, they could not be wrong. This is a very serious political problem. If a prince was elected today, another prince would ascend the throne. What would the future emperor think about this scene today? Do you still want to put this black hat on your head?

As for Chen Ao, there are actually considerations. King Jin is his father-in-law and his reputation is too bad. If he shamelessly said that King Jin is wise, he will probably be laughed at by others. Chen Ao is not a person who cherishes his feathers, but he always feels that talking nonsense with his eyes open in this martial arts hall is really a shy thing, and of course he will not start this.

At this time, the Empress Dowager came to ask again, which made Chen Ao embarrassed. Chen Ao had to look straight and said, "What the Empress Dowager said is that you are all pillars of the country. Of course, you have to work together to make a big spy on this matter. How can you all shirk responsibility? Yang Zhen, you are the chief assistant of the disciple, please talk first."

After being slapped by the arrogance, Yang Zhen couldn't help but smile bitterly. He was pushing his old bone into the fire pit. However, Yang Zhen was a man with some responsibility and courage after all. At this time, he really considered the court. He said seriously: "The ninth son of the emperor, King Kang Zhao Gou, is always wise and literary, and can be safe in the country."

His few words immediately made the Empress Dowager look displeased, and his eyes immediately looked at Chen Ao again, which made Chen Ao wink. Chen Ao was speechless, thinking to himself, you said you wanted to ask everyone's opinions, now that the opinion is out, you are stunned. It seems that you have to clean up this mess yourself, and you can only do this bad guy yourself.

Chen Ao was silent for a moment and said, "Zhao Gou is cowardly by nature, so he can't."

Seeing that Chen Ao spoke fiercely and strongly opposed it, Yang Zhen stopped saying anything and bowed: "What Your Highness said makes sense."

With Yang Zhen’s statement, it’s even harder for everyone to speak.

Chen Ao's face turned slightly red, and he said, "I remembered a wise royal family. When I was in the market, I often heard people say that King Zhao of Jin was wise and stupid, honest and polite, and had the spirit of an elder, full of strategies, which ordinary people could not reach. It was better than brothers and brothers, how about it?"

The civil and military officials in the court were stunned when they heard this. What kind of bird is the King of Jin? You must have a share of his own affairs when he went to the house to remove tiles and steal chickens and dogs. As for the kindness and politeness, what is the relationship with him?

But those who are interested immediately understood that the King of Jin was the father-in-law of the King of the Governor and the descendant of the Empress Dowager. If the King of Jin did not take the throne, who else could get the support of these two people? The Queen Mother of the Governor must have discussed it with the King of the Governor. It is not impossible to be a brother to be together. After all, the kings of the Tenth Chronicle of the Song Dynasty have been together twice. The etiquette and law are reasonable and will not be criticized.

So someone said: "The prince is young, but his brother is the only way to benefit the country and the people."

Everyone nodded one after another, and said, "No, not bad." The other one said, "Only King of Jin can convince people."

Some of them are thin-skinned, such as Yang Zhen, have to say no. Fortunately, there are not many thin-skinned aliens like him. If an official said he is thin-skinned, how could the city wall feel?

The Empress Dowager spoke at this time, looking hesitant and said, "Can King Jin be okay?"

Chen Ao thought to himself, you forced me to say yes, but now he came to ask me again, but his face was solemn: "You must be King Jin."

Everyone said: "Yes, yes."

The Empress Dowager said, "Since that's the case, I will draw an imperial edict and immediately ask the King of Jin to enter the palace quickly."

After the decision was made, everyone relaxed. In fact, it was nothing wrong to choose King Jin, but some people also had doubts. King Jin had only one daughter, no children, and no concubine. Seeing this, he would not have thought of giving birth to a dragon son in this life. If it is in the future...will he be brothers and brothers, or...

Many people looked at Chen Ao deeply.

The auxiliary government is Gao Ming, look at his skills, and he can still stand up as a archway after becoming a bitch. He must study hard in the future.

Chen Ao was now full of tiredness, and this kind of intrigue always made him tired, but his heart was in this whirlpool of fame and fortune had to be more sinister and cunning than others. This psychological contradiction made him unable to tell what he wanted at this moment.

Standing above Danxiong, he developed an uncontrollable desire, but now, he was tired again. Chen Ao asked himself in his heart: What exactly is he want? Is it a boating in summer or a life and death?

Chen Ao, who used to be devoted to enjoyment, was determined to seize fame and fortune, and climbed step by step. Until now, he is already a great minister, rich in the world and a beautiful wife. However, now, when he has reached this height, he finds that he may not only want these. There seems to be something he wants, which is intangible and cannot guess thoroughly, but it blooms with an attractive aura, which makes Chen Ao unable to stop.

"Have I changed? Maybe people will always change." Chen Ao smiled self-deprecatingly. When he heard the Empress Dowager invite the King of Jin to the palace, Chen Ao felt a little sour and felt a strong loss.
