Chapter 2099 Deposed Emperor

A few months later, Cao Kui issued an edict to abdicate, and the crown prince Cao Kui succeeded him as emperor, with the emperor's title of Emperor Wu.

Inside the palace.

Cao Chrome, who had arrived at Dabao, had a look of joy and pride on his face that could not be concealed. Finally, he sat in this position.

When the new emperor succeeds to the throne, he should form his own team.

But the Supreme Emperor is still there. Logically speaking, in order to show the new emperor's respect for the Supreme Emperor, it should remain as it is.

But Cao Chrome took action against the cabinet less than a month after taking the throne.

There will be a big court meeting that day.

Yushi Yuchuang, the imperial censor, asked Emperor Wu to remove Cai Zixiao from his position as chief minister.

Yu Chuang was the censor who was promoted by Emperor Wu Cao Chrome after he succeeded to the throne. Therefore, the ministers present all understood that this was the new emperor's move against Cai Zixiao, but this approach was a bit chilling.

Cai Zixiao didn't say anything or defend himself. He had long expected that such a day would come, but he didn't expect that the new emperor would be so impatient.

Next, several more people jumped out to pay attention to Cai Zixiao. They all had various reasons, but most of them were just chasing rumors.

During the years when Cai Zixiao served as the chief minister of the cabinet, he indeed managed the world extremely well and was a capable minister of the Yan State.

"Mr. Cai Ge, what can you say?"

Cao Chrome put the fold aside and looked at Cai Zixiao solemnly.

Cai Zixiao stood up and said loudly: "I feel deeply unwell in my body and bones, so I would like to resign from your Majesty!"

According to the rules, when a minister resigns, the emperor will definitely retain him. Then the minister will resign, and the emperor will retain him. After doing this three times, the emperor will actually let the minister resign. In this way, the purpose can be achieved and everyone will look good. .

But Cao Chrome did not do this, but smiled and said: "Since Mr. Ge is willing to resign, I will not force Mr. Ge, that's right!"

"What?"

After hearing the emperor's words, the ministers present were stunned, but Cai Zixiao's face became a little redder and more embarrassed. He had already retreated to this point, but Cao Chrome still did such a humiliating thing to him. Behavior, if this matter comes out, Cai Zixiao's reputation will be ruined for his whole life. There are few people who can bear the loss of integrity in old age.

And other ministers also felt quite chilled.

"I am also in poor health and unable to do many things. I hope your majesty will allow me to retire and return to my hometown!"

At this moment, another famous veteran, Gao Yuan, also stepped forward to resign.

Suddenly.

Cao Chrome's expression changed, but immediately, a trace of anger flashed across his face: "That's right!"

"Your Majesty, I also want to resign!"

The third cabinet minister also stepped forward to resign. The main reason was that Cao Chrome's actions were too chilling. During the years when Cai Zixiao was the chief minister, even if he had no merit, he still had hard work. What's more, under his governance, the world's talent in the Yan Kingdom He regained his strength so quickly.

But Cao Chrome behaved so coldly, even though others made concessions and took the initiative to resign, you still want to humiliate them.

Such a heartless emperor is simply not worth following.

For a moment, Cao Chrome's face became even more ugly.

But he still said coldly: "That's right!"

"Your Majesty, I would like to resign, old minister!"

The Minister of Rites also stood up.

"Your Majesty, please resign!"

The Minister of Civil Affairs also stood up.

For a moment, Cao Chrome's face turned livid, and there was a hint of panic in his heart. The three elders and the two ministers all resigned. He had realized the seriousness of the matter, and he couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

He originally thought that he would be able to do whatever he wanted when he became emperor, but now it seems that he is still far from being able to do whatever he wants.

"Your Majesty, please resign!"

Another official stood up.

During the years when he was the chief minister of the cabinet, although Cai Zixiao did not intentionally form cliques for personal gain, he still had many officials who shared his philosophy on his side and regarded him as their leader.

How can they swallow this sigh of relief when their leader is so humiliated by the new emperor? Don’t you, the new emperor, want to build your own team?

Then we all resign to make room for you.

When we all left, we watched how the court operated.

I really thought that if you were the emperor, you could cover the sky with one hand.

"Your Majesty, please resign!"

"Your Majesty, I also want to resign!"

More and more officials came forward to resign. For a moment, Cao Chrome couldn't help but have a strong murderous intention in his eyes, and he wanted to kill all these ministers who had resigned.

But he knew that if he did this, the Emperor would not be able to spare him.

at this time.

A eunuch came to the main hall and said in a sharp voice: "The Emperor has a decree, please go to the Taiqing Palace to talk!"

"My child obeys the order!"

Cao Chrome said quickly, feeling relieved in his heart, and then faced the ministers and said: "The Supreme Emperor has something to do, so let's call it a day and withdraw from the court!"

Looking at Cao Chrome who was walking away, Cai Zixiao let out a long sigh.

"Zixiao, what are your plans in the future?" Gao Yuan asked.

"The new emperor can no longer accommodate me, so what else can he do? He can retire and return to his hometown to enjoy family happiness!" Cai Zixiao said with a smile.

"That's true, I'm tired too, so let's retire and return home with you!"

…………

Taiqing Palace, the new residence of Emperor Cao Kui.

After he abdicated, he gave up the Qianqing Palace.

now.

Song Yanzheng and Emperor Cao Kui were sitting together playing chess.

After a while, a eunuch came to report that the emperor was here.

"Let him wait outside until I finish the game of chess!" Cao Kui said lightly. He was so disappointed with Cao Chrome. He didn't expect that Cao Chrome would become dizzy as soon as he got into that position and actually wanted to fight against him. Cai Zixiao took action and even reached the point where he couldn't handle it.

If he hadn't already found out that he had the intelligence to attack Cai Zixiao and sent people there in time, he, the emperor, would not be able to step down today.

Outside Taiqing Palace.

Cao Chrome's face was gloomy, but he knew that now was not the time for him to get angry. Although the Supreme Emperor abdicated, he still had unparalleled influence in the court.

A full half hour passed.

Only then did the eunuch come in to report and invite him in.

"My son, see your father!"

Cao Chrome knelt on the ground and saluted Cao Kui.

"Get up!"

Cao Kui said calmly, with no emotion or anger on his face.

Cao Chrome stood up and glanced at Song Yan, who was sitting with the Supreme Emperor. Suddenly, there was a surge of anger in his heart. He said, "King Xiaoyao, I have something important to discuss with the Supreme Emperor. You go out first!"

As soon as these words came out, the Supreme Emperor's face changed suddenly, and at the same time, the eyes he looked at Cao Chrome became even more disappointed.

Even though he didn't dare to speak like this to Song Yan, now Cao Chrome was actually driving Song Yan away.

Song Yan smiled and said to Cao Kui: "The throne of the emperor is charming, my great emperor, it seems that your taste is not very good!"

"presumptuous!"

Hearing this, Cao Chrome's eyes were full of murderous intent: "King Xiaoyao, do you want to die if you commit the following crime?"

"Your Majesty, please chat and I'll take my leave!"

Song Yan smiled disapprovingly, stood up, and walked out of the palace. During this period, he didn't even look at Cao Chrome.

The dignified emperor was so ignored by a prince. How could Cao Chrome bear it? He shouted angrily: "Come here, take down this rebellious minister and traitor Song Yan!"

"Bang!"

At this moment, a tea cup flew up and hit Cao Chrome hard on the forehead.

It was Cao Kui who threw the cup. At this moment, his face was covered with a layer of frost. He looked at Cao Chrome with great disappointment. Less than a month after he ascended the throne, Cao Kui's temperament had changed so much. He then waved his hand. : "Let's go!"

Cao Chrome's expression changed rapidly several times, his forehead was hit with a bloody head, and the blood falling on his ferocious face looked particularly terrifying.

"Yes, kid, resign!"

That night.

The Prince Xiaoyao's palace was at war, but someone broke into the palace at this moment.

After hearing the news, Emperor Cao Kui smashed a cup and finally made a decision in his heart.

A few days later, morning.

The Supreme Emperor suddenly arrived and issued an imperial decree deposing Cao Chrome.

Suddenly, Cao Chrome's eyes widened, with deep reluctance flashing in his eyes.

But that's it.

However, a group of ministers knelt down on the ground and shouted that the emperor was wise.

Seeing this, despair flashed in Cao Chrome's eyes, because those ministers who called the Supreme Emperor wise also included ministers who supported his ascension to the throne. Did they even rebel?

The look on his face became more and more ferocious, and he roared: "Here comes someone!"

The next moment, a large number of imperial guards poured into the hall.

Cao Chrome suddenly stood up from the dragon chair, pointed at Cao Kui and said, "Come here, kill this guy who is pretending to be the Supreme Emperor!"

"Evil son!"

Hearing this, Cao Kui was furious.

Then he waved his hand, pointed at Cao Chrome and said: "Catch him!"

"yes!"

Suddenly a large number of imperial guards rushed toward Cao Chrome.

"What are you doing? I am the emperor, how dare you!"

Cao Chrome said in disbelief.

"Knock him out!"

Cao Kui said coldly. Suddenly, a figure shot out from beside him and landed next to Cao Chrome. With a slash of his hand knife, Cao Chrome was knocked unconscious on the spot.

Cao Chrome was knocked unconscious and was quickly taken away.

Then King Fu Cao Yi, wearing a yellow robe, was brought in.

Then, the eunuch read out the second edict from the Supreme Emperor, and King Fu Cao Yi took over as emperor.

One day later, the deserted Prince Wei's Mansion.

As a princess, Cao Yue came here and saw Cao Chrome with disheveled hair and messy clothes.

"Fifth brother!"

Cao Yue shouted.

"You're here! Are you here to laugh at me?" Cao Chrome sneered.

"Hey!" Cao Yue sighed heavily: "Fifth brother, do you know where you lost this time?"

Cao Chrome didn't speak.

Cao Yue continued: "Your biggest mistake was to send someone to assassinate Song Yan!"

Cao Chrome still didn't speak, but there was a strong look of resentment on his face.

Cao Yue said again: "Do you know why he didn't take power, and why did the emperor still treat him with courtesy? Because he could subvert the entire Yan Kingdom with just one person, and you are too anxious. Cai Zixiao is his father-in-law. You actually humiliated him like that, you are too anxious!"

"Can one person overthrow the Yan Kingdom?"

Cao Chrome obviously didn't believe it.

"Fifth brother, I know you don't believe it, but it is indeed true. You can take care of yourself in the future. Take your leave, little sister!"

Cao Yue sighed softly, turned and left.

After Cao Yi ascended the throne, everything in the court remained as it was. Whenever he was unsure about anything, he would consult the Supreme Emperor.

Before I knew it, another five years had passed.

Xiaoyao Wangfu.

Song Yan couldn't help but feel a trace of relief on his face as he looked at the young man in front of him who already looked like a tall and strong boy of sixteen or seventeen years old.
