Chapter 797 Please Let the Prince Give up His Power
Li Hanru frowned and said in a deep voice: "Right Prime Minister, you are too serious. The prince just wants an answer. How can you blame His Majesty?"
Zong Sibai waved his hand and said: "Okay, let's not talk about other things for now. I just want to ask one question...May I ask the Left Prime Minister, are you the Left Prime Minister of Daxuan, and are you His Majesty's subordinate?"
Li Hanru nodded, "Of course!"
Zong Sibai said: "Okay, then let me ask you again, His Majesty ascended the throne, the implementation of the new policy was restricted everywhere, and the troops across the country had no right to mobilize. Whose fault is it?"
Li Hanru's expression froze.
Zong Sibai continued, "Lord Zuo Xiang, you and I are both appointed by the emperor, and we should not have selfish thoughts... Tell me honestly, the power of King Zhenguo is overwhelming, and it is above your majesty. Is this a good thing for Daxuan?"
Li Hanru subconsciously said, "The power of King Zhenguo was given by the emperor, he himself..."
"But the emperor has abdicated, and the current reign is Xiaode."
Zong Sibai interrupted Li Hanru in a harsh voice.
Immediately, he said loudly: "Now that all the countries have surrendered, there is no more war in Daxuan, and the four directions are peaceful... These are the contributions of King Zhenguo, and you should remember them and be grateful.
But the power of the ministers must never be above your majesty, which is definitely not a good thing for Daxuan."
Zong Sibai said, and suddenly knelt in front of Ning Chen, saying loudly: "Your Majesty's contribution will be remembered for thousands of years... But the new emperor needs merits to ascend the throne. Now that the world is peaceful, there is no need for your Majesty to lead the army to fight.
Your Majesty, leave the rest to your majesty. You have done everything, and when the time comes, The people only remember King Zhenguo, who still remembers the current emperor?
I dare to ask King Zhenguo to give up his power! ”
A censor stood up: "What the right prime minister said is very true. Now that the world is peaceful, the prince should also take a rest... The rest is left to your majesty."
"Your majesty, this Daxuan surname is Zhang, not Ning. The people of the world should remember your majesty, not others."
"Your majesty, if the people forget that Daxuan surname is Zhang, the country will no longer be a country."
"For the sake of Daxuan, please give up your power."
"Please give up your power!"
All the civil and military officials knelt down and begged Ning Chen to give up his power.
Li Hanru and others looked at each other with worry on their faces.
This is an open conspiracy, directly setting up Ning Chen.
If Ning Chen handed over his military power, these people would definitely kill him in the future because of their fear of him.
If he didn't hand it over, the four words "iron courage and loyalty" would become a joke, and Ning Chen would have the intention of treason.
Ning Chen looked up at the new emperor and asked calmly, "Is this also what Your Majesty meant?"
The new emperor had a complicated look on his face, "I can do nothing about what you have asked."
"Hahaha..."
Ning Chen suddenly laughed out loud.
"When the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog is cooked. When the flying birds are gone, the good bow is hidden.
Now that the cunning rabbit is not dead and the flying birds are not gone, you are so impatient, aren't you too impatient?"
Zong Sibai said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, today's request is all for Daxuan, and I have no selfish motives at all."
Ning Chen sneered!
He looked up at the new emperor and asked calmly, "Your Majesty has not answered my previous question. Liu Kuan wants to take back the general's mansion, but did Your Majesty instruct him?"
The new emperor frowned, not understanding why Ning Chen was still struggling with this issue?
Ning Chen said indifferently, "If Your Majesty says yes, I will hand over the military power now.
If not, then I am not at fault, please forgive me for not being able to hand over the military power."
The new emperor was full of doubts.
Suddenly, his eyes narrowed fiercely.
Ning Chen began to fight back.
With the prestige of General Chen in the army, his body is still warm now. If he admits that he sent Liu Kuan to take back the general's mansion, if it is spread out, I am afraid that the generals and soldiers of Daxuan will be disheartened.
The new emperor stared at Ning Chen coldly, which was really insidious.
The new emperor guessed Ning Chen's thoughts, and others naturally guessed it too.
An old general who has made great military achievements and whose family is full of loyal heroes, just died, you ran to rob someone else's house... Not to mention that the generals and soldiers of Daxuan will be disheartened, even ordinary people will poke the new emperor's spine and scold.
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to admit that Liu Kuan was sent by the new emperor.
In fact, Liu Kuan was not sent by the new emperor... The new emperor is now also wondering why Liu Kuan went to take back the general's mansion?
Unfortunately, Liu Kuan is dead, and there is no way to know the answer.
Another point is that he wanted to seize Ning Chen's power, but according to his plan, he would nibble away step by step... This scene in the court today, the ministers forced Ning Chen to give up power, which he did not expect.
However, the situation was favorable to him, so he was happy to sit on the sidelines.
But Ning Chen suddenly turned the tables, catching him off guard!
He wanted to take back the power, but he couldn't admit that Liu Kuan was sent by him.
Seeing this, Zong Sibai clasped his fists and said, "The left prime minister just said that the prince is loyal and brave. Is this the prince's loyalty? You have to force your majesty to admit that Liu Gonggong was sent by him, and let your majesty bear the infamy for a lifetime. Is this what a minister should do?"
Ning Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at him, "Zong Sibai, did I ask you?"
Zong Sibai leaned over and said, "Prince, I only ask you one question, are you the King of Zhenguo of Daxuan? Are you a minister of your majesty?"
If you are still the loyal and patriotic King of Zhenguo, please hand over the military power to your majesty!"
Ning Chen sneered, "What if I don't hand it over?"
The faces of the civil and military officials changed suddenly.
"King of Zhenguo, your majesty's words are the imperial edict. If you don't hand it over, you will be disobeying the order and committing treason. "
"Your Majesty, the King of Zheng is unwilling to hand over the military power, which clearly shows that he is plotting rebellion."
"Your Majesty, please issue an order to severely punish the traitors."
Civil and military officials were filled with righteous indignation.
Ning Chen sneered, it was true that a new emperor chooses new ministers... These people were trying to show their loyalty to the new emperor.
"Shut up!"
The new emperor shouted angrily.
The court suddenly became quiet!
The new emperor looked at Ning Chen with complicated eyes, "Ning Chen, you have made contributions for generations and are deeply loved by the people... I am the emperor now, and I also want to do something for the people of the world.
You have worked hard in the wars over the years, take a rest, and leave the rest to me, how about it?
Without the military power, you are still the king of Daxuan and my brother-in-law. We will be the same as before, I can guarantee it!"
"Before?" Ning Chen lowered his head and laughed, "Can we go back to the past? I know everything will change, but I didn't expect it to be so fast?
I wonder how sad my father would be if he knew?
Your Majesty wants power, you can... As long as your father agrees, I will offer this military power with both hands.
Your Majesty, I am a little tired, so I will leave first!"
It's not that he is reluctant to give up the power in his hands, but this matter is weird.
The new emperor was cultivated by Emperor Xuan. Although he is unfamiliar with government affairs, he would not be stupid enough to send Liu Kuan to collect the house when General Chen's body is still warm.
Who is behind this matter?
Ning Chen's eyes fell on Zong Sibai and stayed for a while, but he walked out of the hall with his hands behind his back.
"Prince Zhenguo, please stay!"
Zong Sibai took a few quick steps and stopped in front of Ning Chen.
