Chapter 497: Why did His Majesty rebel
On December 23, a heavy snowfall hit Xuanjing, and the entire Xuanjing was shrouded in white frost.
But in the Xuanming Palace of Xuanjing Palace, the fiery atmosphere did not weaken at all because of the heavy snow. On the contrary, it became more intense.
Since Xiao Mian left, the small court meetings that were once every five days have been held almost every day, and there have even been large court meetings attended by all officials of sufficient rank from time to time.
The content of the court meeting was nothing more than a fight between Xiao Mian's followers and their enemies.
Although Xiao Mian's party members have lost their core, due to the large number of people, even if they are unable to counterattack, they still have the ability to protect themselves. Emperor Xuan has been worried that he will really force Xiao Mian's party members to rebel, and he has been pulling the strings.
Offset.
But judging from the recent situation, the royalists and Confucianists can no longer bear it any longer. They all want to use the most brutal means to kill Xiao Mian's followers, and by the way, the current Emperor Xuan.
'Xiao Mian's gang members killed me, and then they killed Xiao Mian's gang members to avenge me. What a good arrangement. I don't need to live in the precarious days of the Supreme Emperor, because I died immediately.'
Emperor Xuan sat on the dragon chair, looking at the noisy officials below, his heart full of cynicism.
Originally, he was afraid of something unexpected happening after abdicating the throne, and was eager to win over the Mo family and let Lord Shang Yang save him, but now it seems that the other party is much more ruthless than he expected, and will not even spare his life.
"In that case, don't blame me for flipping the table and holding out Xiao Mian." Emperor Xuan was furious.
Even under Xiao Mian's shadow, he had never received such humiliating treatment. Now these people were even more outrageous than Xiao Mian. Emperor Xuan really couldn't bear it.
But while he was being cruel, he couldn't help but laugh at himself, "After Xiao Mian left, I still want to bring out another Xiao Mian. What does this mean? Are people's hearts despicable?"
'That's all, since I have been able to endure hardships for more than ten years, I can endure it for another ten years. Even if Lord Shang Yang is too terrible, he is not as scary as Xiao Mian. If Xiao Mian can leave on his own, Lord Shang Yang...
I will definitely kill him with my own hands one day!'
After making up his mind, Emperor Xuan shouted: "Quiet! You are all high-ranking officials of the country, how unworthy is it to make noises!"
The sudden shouts made everyone who had completely ignored Emperor Xuan for the past few days finally turn their attention to the person who was supposed to be the core of everyone, either with ridicule, pity, or hatred... all kinds of eyes with unclear meanings were focused on him.
On Xuanhuang.
Finally, when the left prime minister of the court came forward and saluted, he said: "Your Majesty, while these people who are just angry and causing trouble to the country and the people have the nerve to appear in the bright world, they seek refuge with Xiao Ni and take control of the government. It is really an unforgivable crime. I,
Please order me to kill the nine rebel clans of Xiao, headed by Right Chancellor Wang Yuan, to serve as a warning to others."
"I second the proposal."
With Ulala's series of echoes, and under the livid expressions of the right minister and others, a small number of officials directly requested orders, and even the sound of drawing swords could be heard outside the palace.
This is the rhythm of going directly to the palace to attract people.
‘Are they even controlling the Imperial Army?’ A sharp look flashed in Emperor Xuan’s eyes.
The commander of the Forbidden Army, Li Qingshan, was a confidant of Emperor Xuan. He led a hundred thousand Forbidden Army to attack Tianqi Mountain. In the end, he only brought back a few thousand people. He was even seriously injured, with an arm broken, and he was almost half disabled.
.
As early as a few days ago, someone had forced Li Qingshan to give up his position as the commander of the Forbidden Army. However, Emperor Xuan did not expect that in just a few days, the Forbidden Army would be under control. Now, without Emperor Xuan's order, the guards outside the palace
They all dare to show their swords.
The undisguised sound of drawing a sword caused a commotion among the people headed by the Right Prime Minister, and many people exuded murderous intent.
Xiao Mian has countless skills and a country's resources under his command. As his vassal, there are also some good players among his party members, especially some in the army. With the support of the resources of Xiao Mian's group, their strength has entered the realm of refining the gods.
The realm of emptiness.
If such strength were to arise, Emperor Xuan might indeed be killed when he was isolated and helpless.
"Ahem."
A light cough interrupted everyone's murderous intention, but they saw the right Prime Minister Wang Yuan put his hands in his sleeves, and the old god said in the tunnel: "The Prime Minister Zuo must be careful, the Imperial Master has been sitting in the court for many years, suppressing the Taoist sect, the merits are in the present, and the benefits will be in the future.
. Now that the Imperial Preceptor is being persecuted and disappeared by people in the Taoist sect, you are putting a hat on the Imperial Preceptor. Do you want to persecute the clear name of a great hero of our dynasty? Or are you taking advantage of the power of the Taoist sect and rebelling?"
Well, just straighten Xiao Mian's reputation.
If Xiao Mian was a great hero, then they, who were once Xiao Mian's subordinates, would naturally not be traitors to the party, which meant that they were not guilty.
The Prime Minister Zuo also didn't expect that his old rival would make such a move. Has he lost his mind? Now that he even dares to make such a stupid move, who in this court dares to say that Xiao Mian is not a traitor...
··
"What the Right Prime Minister said is absolutely true," Xuanhuang said, "The Imperial Master treated me as a teacher and a father, and treated the country as a capable minister through the ages who saved the building from falling. If it were not for the Imperial Master, the late emperor would probably still be the Taojun Emperor.
I cannot escape the influence of Taoism. Therefore, the Imperial Master is not guilty!"
"Your Majesty, you..." The left minister was completely shocked. He didn't expect that the person who was least likely to vindicate Xiao Mian would say that Xiao Mian was not guilty.
Others don’t know it, doesn’t Your Majesty know it? The late emperor was killed by Xiao Mian!
And don’t tell me that the one hundred thousand forbidden troops rushed to Tianqi Mountain to help Tiangong resist the Taoist sect.
The left prime minister, who was inexplicably frightened and angry, raised his head and met a pair of cold and stern eyes. He was immediately shocked and understood.
This little emperor, who backfired on Xiao Mian, actually chose to join forces with Xiao Mian's gang members, and even did not hesitate to vindicate Xiao Mian.
"Your Majesty, are you going to join forces with Xiao Mian? Are you going to rebel?" Prime Minister Zuo pointed angrily at the Nine-Five Supreme Being on the dragon throne.
"The Imperial Master is not guilty, how can he be complicit in the crime? Moreover..." Emperor Xuan replied calmly, "I am the king of a country. All the mountains and rivers of Daxuan are the king's land, and all the ministers are the king's ministers.
, Do I still want to rebel against myself?"
"Of course Your Majesty will not rebel!"
A young man with a frivolous expression walked in outside the hall. Behind him was a swordsman with two swords on his back, and the smell of blood still lingered on his body.
"Qin Tian Jian Zheng Lan Lingsheng pays homage to Your Majesty," the young man walked all the way to the front line of officials, saluted Emperor Xuan and said, "All the rebel guards outside the palace have been executed, Your Majesty, don't worry."
"Lan Aiqing really does things properly and is truly my loyal minister." Emperor Xuan praised.
"I am ashamed of myself."
Lan Lingsheng bowed again, turned to the right minister and said: "Of course your majesty will not rebel. Those who will rebel are some rebellious officials and traitors who have committed rebellion. Mr. right minister, do you think so?"
"Yes, especially a traitor who dares to point his finger at His Majesty." The Right Prime Minister turned to the Left Prime Minister with a cold face.
