Chapter 1289 Deposed Emperor
Chapter 1289 Deposed Emperor
As the Empress Dowager Yan spoke, her expression became more and more excited: "When the time comes... Da Zhou will suffer a heavy loss! People in the world will be blamed! Bai Qing said that such a smart person will not fail to understand! After all... Da Zhou The emperor's younger brother is not dead! And our country of Yan has also taken an attitude, and let the queen mother of the country of Yan, the Ai family, go to Dazhou to plead guilty!"
She let out a long breath, as if she had a plan in mind, she said softly: "As long as the Emperor Da Zhou dare not kill Ai's family, he can only make a condition, and then let Ai's family come back, so the plight of Yan Kingdom will be solved!"
"Emperor Da Zhou is a person who has a clear goal and is determined to carry it out. She...would not stop her footsteps and change herself for anyone..." Xiao Rongyan spoke in a very low voice, very discouraged With a sense of coldness, he cleared his throat and said to Queen Mother Yan, "If Dazhou just finds a suitable excuse to attack Yan this time, Dazhou may have already begun to attack the city before the Queen Mother reaches the border of Dazhou. Or... after setting up an ambush on the Queen Mother's way to the capital city, capturing or assassinating the Queen Mother alive, she accused Yan Guo of not sincerely pleading guilty, and letting the Queen Mother enter the Zhou Dynasty was just a show!"
"And in the same way, people in the world will still question the royal family of the Yan Kingdom!" Zhong Xingxiao added hastily, crying and kowtowing, "The gains outweigh the losses... Queen Mother!"
Zhong Xingxiao was unwilling to let the queen mother go to Dazhou. Once the queen mother left...the only support of the Zhong family would be gone. If the queen mother really died in Dazhou, the Zhong family would be finished.
So no matter what, Zhong Xingxiao would not let the Queen Mother go to Da Zhou, Xiao Rongyan also understood this.
When the Empress Dowager Yan heard Xiao Rongyan's words, her palms tightened, her complexion turned pale, and the hand that was tightly turned into a fist couldn't help trembling, halfway...killed her?
"Then...then what should I do?" The Empress Dowager Yan was full of confidence just now, but now she panicked again and couldn't help but look at Xiao Rongyan.
I saw Xiao Rongyan pinching the purse at his waist and rubbing it back and forth, before speaking after a long while: "Let me... go back and think about it!"
"Uncle Jiu, don't think about it!" Murong Li's deep and calm voice came from behind, "I...have sent envoys to Zhou to discuss this matter with the Emperor of Zhou, and Wang Hanbing has already brought my personal information with me at this time. Yin has entered the territory of Dazhou, and it may be too late for the Queen Mother and Uncle Jiu to stop it!"
"A Li!" The Empress Dowager Yan's shrill voice trembled, and she even asked Wang Hanbing to carry his private seal. What the hell is A Li trying to do!
"Uncle Ninth!" Murong Ping looked at Xiao Rongyan, panicked.
"Your Majesty! How can you be so reckless!" Although Zhong Xingxiao was shocked and surprised, but he didn't know why, but he was slightly relieved. At least in this way, the Queen Mother would not have to go to Dazhou to plead guilty, so their backer of the Zhong family is still there .
"Today, I just informed Uncle Nine, the Queen Mother, and the courtiers. Whether you let me or not, I... have already done this!" Murong Li sat down on the throne with the emperor's airs in his hands, holding his hands together. The dragon heads on both sides of the dragon chair spoke slowly, "I am the emperor of the Yan Kingdom. I... have to be responsible for the Yan Kingdom, the soldiers and the people of the Yan Kingdom! If Uncle Jiu and the Queen Mother really think that I If this emperor did something wrong, then I will abolish this emperor! Then send envoys to Zhou and declare that what the envoy Wang Hanbing sent with me, the abolished emperor, said is invalid, maybe there is still time..."
"It seems that His Majesty's wings are really hardened, and he no longer needs help!" Xiao Rongyan stared at Murong Li with cold eyes under the mask, and left with a flick of his sleeves.
"A Yan!" Empress Dowager Yan called Xiao Rongyan in a panic, but Xiao Rongyan would not go out of the hall even if she saw her head.
"My lord! The Ninth Prince..." Zhong Xingxiao, who was kneeling on the glamorous bluestone floor, raised his head and followed the masked Xiao Rongyan, as if wanting to prevent Xiao Rongyan from leaving, he called loudly, "Ninth Prince, you You have to persuade Your Majesty well!"
Xiao Rongyan opened the door of the main hall, and the ministers outside the hall immediately knelt down, but he left without looking back with a murderous air all over his body, and the Empress Dowager Yan also fell to the ground.
Murong Ping saluted Empress Dowager Yan and Murong Li and said, "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, I'll go and persuade Uncle Jiu first."
Her son had really grown up, and he didn't even discuss such a big matter with her or his ninth uncle, so he did it himself!
Now Murong Li is saying "Zhen", is this still her son?
Zhong Xingxiao, who was kneeling at the bottom, had his heart pounding, remembering what Murong Li said just now... Maybe it would be possible to abolish him as the emperor, and the hairs on his back suddenly stood on end.
Zhong Xingxiao has always felt that the regent Murong Yan has always coveted the throne. If the courtiers don't support his nephew Murong Li this time, Murong Yan will take this opportunity to pull Murong Li from the throne and proclaim himself emperor.
Thinking of this, Zhong Xingxiao hurriedly knelt forward and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, since the matter is now a foregone conclusion, I am willing to do my best to persuade the ministers to agree with Your Majesty's intention!"
"Brother, are you crazy too?" After the Queen Mother Yan reprimanded her, she saw Zhong Xingxiao secretly winking at her and shaking her head.
Empress Dowager Yan pursed her lips.
Murong Li looked at Zhong Xingxiao, pretended to be very touched, and said softly, "Thank you, Uncle..."
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager can't figure it out for a while. I am willing to untie the Empress Dowager for Your Majesty. If Your Majesty allows it, I want to send the Empress Dowager back to the palace..." Zhong Xingxiao bowed his head solemnly, "I hope Your Majesty will allow it!"
Murong Li knows that Zhong Xingxiao probably already understands that if the queen mother is handed over, it will be harmful to the Zhong family rather than beneficial, and it can even be said that the Zhong family will lose their support in the court... and even in the country of Yan, so he Uncle will definitely persuade mother to agree to his idea, and even let mother try to persuade uncle Jiu.
Murong Li just said what he said about the abolition of the emperor. For the "Queen Dowager Party" in the court of Yan Kingdom, one feared that the Ninth Prince would really take action to pull Murong Li from the throne, and the other feared that the Empress Dowager would really be sent to the Great Zhou to appease the Da Zhou. Emperor Zhou's wrath.
At this time, the "Queen Dowager Party" was facing internal and external troubles. As the leader of the "Queen Dowager Party", Zhong Xingxiao naturally chose the lesser of two evils, and agreed with Murong Li's approach.
Just as Murong Li expected, Zhong Xingxiao was persuading Empress Yan on the way back to the palace with Empress Dowager Yan.
Zhong Xingxiao followed the Empress Dowager Yan, making a gesture of respect, so that the eunuchs and maidservants followed far behind and were not allowed to go forward. The two brothers and sisters walked and talked in a low voice.
"A Li is the emperor, and the emperor's words are hard to follow! Now that A Li has sent an envoy to Da Zhou, the Queen Mother, as His Majesty's mother, can only support His Majesty! Otherwise..." Zhong Xingxiao paused and glanced Empress Dowager Yan with an ugly face.
