Chapter 467: Killing the Chicken to Scare the Monkey
Ma Yushi is an upright man with a straightforward temperament, but he is indeed a very filial person to his parents.
Hearing Eunuch Liu's threatening words, Ma Yushi's face turned ugly, but he was afraid of the second prince's methods and had to keep silent.
Seeing that Yushi Ma did not dare to speak again, the officials of the second prince's faction began to persuade the second prince to ascend the throne.
"Nonsense! There are no two days in the sky, no two kings in the land, no two kings in the country, and no two honorable men in the family. It is necessary to rule by one!
The emperor's whereabouts are unknown and he is not dead yet. How can you change the position of His Highness as king! "
The second prince was secretly happy when he saw that no one dared to oppose him.
But now, looking at the upright and eloquent official, the sinister look in his eyes was even stronger than before.
The official who spoke this time was also a censor, surnamed Hu.
Although Ma Yushi is upright, he will still be wary when it comes to life-threatening matters.
But Hu Yushi was a headache even for the emperor.
Not only does he have an upright temperament, but he also speaks more directly, and he is always ready to give advice.
When Hu Yushi opened his mouth, he first quoted a lot of scriptures and said a lot, but he was also worried that he was too tactful and others would not fully understand what he meant.
He then used the most straightforward language and impassionedly scolded the officials who had persuaded the second prince to ascend the throne.
The second prince's face was gloomy, and he secretly winked at a forbidden soldier.
The other party quietly stepped away.
Not long after, a palace maid hurried into the hall, panting and saying, "Hu Yushi, Mrs. Hu just got an emergency, and she is already dead."
Hu Yushi's expression changed, and he subconsciously blurted out, "How could it be possible? My wife has always been in good health. How could it be possible..."
Before he finished his sentence, Hu Yushi suddenly understood when he saw the eyes of the palace maid in front of him flickering.
His wife was suffering from some kind of emergency. He was the one who opposed the second prince's ascension to the throne, and was used by the second prince to scare the monkeys.
Anyone who can climb down in the officialdom is not stupid. The officials in the palace listened to Hu Yushi's words and the reaction of the palace maids, and there was nothing they didn't understand.
The eunuch beside the second prince snorted and said casually, "Mrs. Hu is in good health? It seems that Mrs. Hu is suffering from an emergency. It is because she was exhausted by the minister of the Imperial Palace."
Seeing that Hu Yushi's face was pale, the eunuch snorted again and turned to the officials, "Ministers, the female family members are weak. You should be more careful and don't follow in Hu Yushi's footsteps!"
Eunuch Liu was obviously trying to persuade him with good intentions, but every word he spoke was a threat.
The officials who supported the second prince's ascension to the throne secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that they had chosen the right side.
Those officials who did not persuade the second prince to ascend the throne first felt chilled in their hearts, and soon began to feel uneasy again. Those ladies followed Princess Rui to Concubine An Xian's palace to rescue people.
I haven’t seen you back for such a long time, and I don’t know what’s going on.
Thinking of the dead Mrs. Hu, everyone looked even worse.
Ling Chu was also worried about Princess Dingyuan, so he thought about it and opened the system.
Over there, Yushi Hu's expression changed several times, and suddenly he straightened his back and cursed a few words at the second prince with justice.
Before anyone could react, he slammed into the pillar next to him with a decisive gesture.
Ling Chu was using the system to scan when he heard the exclamation and turned his head hastily, just about to let the shovel step forward to stop Hu Yushi.
Ning Chuyi had already flown forward and grabbed Hu Yushi's arm.
Although he was fast, Hu Yushi was determined to make the second prince bear the world's infamy at the cost of his own life. He used all his strength in this collision.
Although he was stopped by Ning Chuyi, he was not killed. But the impact was severe and he passed out.
Prince Rui's face was gloomy, but he still held back his anger when he thought that Princess Rui was back after a long absence.
"Mr. Chen, please go and treat Yu Shi Hu quickly." He turned to the other officials and said, "Since the emperor is still alive, there is no need to continue crying. Everyone has dispersed and gone back to his residence to rest."
Although Hu Yushi has an upright temperament, he is loyal.
Doctor Chen wanted to save him, but it was obvious that the way Eunuch Liu looked at him was filled with murderous intent. His face was pale, his head lowered, and he stood still.
When the other imperial doctors thought about Mrs. Hu's fate, they all seemed to be deaf and could not hear what King Rui said.
No imperial doctor dared to treat Hu Yushi.
Some officials wanted to take the opportunity to leave, but the imperial guards armed with bows and arrows blocked the exit of the hall expressionlessly.
The second prince said nothing, folded his hands, glanced around casually, and slowly looked at Kang Anbo.
Kang Anbo's heart trembled.
Swallowing, he forced himself to speak.
"Your Majesty, if the Emperor was fine, he would have returned to the capital long ago. Now... I'm afraid it's going to be a disaster.
Now not only are the Waci and Tatars in the north pressing forward step by step, but other foreign tribes are also watching with eager eyes. The Japanese pirates in the south took advantage of the chaos to attack and kill everyone.
I believe that His Highness should be enthroned immediately to stabilize the people's hearts. Then I ordered the generals to lead their troops to destroy the Japanese pirates and kill the foreigners, so that we can protect the territory of our dynasty.
Otherwise, the Chongzhao Dynasty will be in danger! "
The emperor is not dead, and the court must be cleaned after returning to Beijing.
Officials in the Second Prince's faction all knew that if they did not want to die, they had no choice but to support the Second Prince on the throne.
This is their only chance.
Kang Anbo spoke, and the officials who supported the second prince also rushed to express their opinions.
Although King Rui was worried about Princess Rui, he still resisted the pressure and refuted the officials' proposals.
Ling Chu withdrew his eyes from the system, secretly attached an invisibility charm to the little hammer, and let it slip out quietly through the gap surrounded by the Forbidden Army.
Then she walked up to the side of King Rui and said to the officials who supported the second prince's enthronement, "You all say that you are doing this for the sake of the country of the Zhao Dynasty, but I, a weak woman, know what the consequences of having two kings in one country will be.
Are you really doing this for the people and for the country?"
Although Ling Chu spoke softly, he placed the shovel in front of him.
Ning Chuyi has always been a man of few words, and he did not speak at this moment. He just stood on the other side of King Rui with a blank expression holding the long sword in his hand.
King Rui was relieved when he saw the two's actions.
Fortunately, he was not fighting alone.
Ma Yushi looked at the second prince with a dark face, and then at King Rui with a straight back.
After hesitating for a while, he slowly walked up to Ning Chuyi.
Those officials who did not speak for the second prince to ascend the throne looked at each other for a while. He gritted his teeth and stood behind King Rui and others.
As they stood in line, the officials in the hall were divided into two groups.
The two sides were clearly divided.
The second prince's eyes slowly swept over Prince Rui and Ning Chuyi, and his right hand suddenly raised high.
Just as he was about to speak, a guard suddenly rushed in from outside the hall, walked quickly to the second prince, and whispered in his ear.
The second prince's face suddenly changed, and he turned his head suddenly and shouted to the guards, "Do it."
Ling Chu also spoke at the same time as him.
Those officials standing on the side of Prince Rui were uneasy, and when they heard Princess Jiashan also shout "Do it", they couldn't help but widen their eyes in astonishment.
Seeing those guards start to draw their bows and arrows, their expressions changed drastically.
The second prince didn't understand why Ling Chu also shouted to do it, but when he saw the Jinyiwei suddenly appearing outside the hall, his face was visibly filled with murderous intent.
