Chapter 514 The ministers in the main hall forced the palace

The situation in the capital is undercurrent. Google search reading

In the past few days, the people in the city have long realized that something big might happen.

Many people have discovered that many checkpoints have been added to the capital for no reason, the city gates have been sealed, and people's movement has been strictly restricted. There are several times more patrolling soldiers in the city than before.

All signs prove that something big must have happened.

Folks speculated and discussed a lot, and panic gradually brewed and broke out in the capital.

Sooner or later, the news of Emperor Zhao's death could not be concealed, and the gossip quickly spread from the capital.

Rumor has it that something happened in the palace.

This sudden change attracted the attention of many people. As a citizen at the foot of the imperial city, everything that happened in the palace affected the attention of the common people.

Why did something unexpected happen in the palace?

The more this happened, the more it caused countless people to panic and start to inquire about the news in the palace.

…

At this time, the atmosphere in the palace seemed extremely tense.

From the beginning of forcing the palace to seize the throne, Zhao Jing took control of the entire palace.

The forest guards who were originally guarding outside the capital entered the capital early, and the imperial army and the capital city defense army fell into his hands.

It can be said that Zhao Jing controlled almost all the military forces in the entire capital. All the forces in the entire capital are under his control.

Logically speaking, when the late emperor passed away and was buried, Zhao Jing, as the prince of Zhao, should have naturally ascended the throne as emperor.

However, something unexpected happened during this process!

When the eunuchs below proposed to welcome His Royal Highness Prince Zhao Jing to the throne in accordance with the laws of the Jokhang ancestors, many ministers in the court stopped him.

"I object!"

In front of the main hall.

The courtiers in mourning clothes fell to their knees.

According to Jokhang law, when the late emperor dies, the ministers must kneel down in front of the palace to pay homage for seven days.

During the seven days of this memorial ceremony, it is also necessary to determine the candidate for the new emperor, ascend the throne as emperor, and then announce it to the world to stabilize people's hearts.

As the crown prince of Zhao Jing, Zhao Jing should have ascended the throne naturally, but he was blocked by others.

The one who stopped him was a doctor from the Military Department of the Sixth Department.

He stood up and looked at Zhao Jing not far ahead with a gloomy expression.

At this moment, Zhao Jing turned his head slightly, his eyes fell on the military doctor, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"Master Chen!"

At this moment, the chief eunuch standing next to Zhao Jing glanced cautiously at Zhao Jing next to him, then looked at the doctor from the Ministry of War, and said, "Master Chen, what's your problem?"

Everyone knew that His Highness the Crown Prince was bound to ascend the throne. At this critical moment, what does it mean for Mr. Chen to jump out and take the lead?

The head eunuch glanced at the other ministers around him inadvertently, only to find that the other ministers looked calm and had their own thoughts.

This made his heart tremble.

I vaguely realized that today's matter might not be so easy to solve.

Mr. Chen glanced coldly at the head eunuch, and then his eyes fell on Zhao Jing: "I don't understand something, and I want to ask His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Zhao Jing looked very calm: "Master Chen, what's the problem?"

"How was His Majesty assassinated?"

Mr. Chen's words were shocking. He stared at Zhao Jing and his tone was serious, even a little rude.

"How could your Majesty be assassinated so easily because of your bravery, talent, and strategy? Is there something fishy in this that no one knows about?"

Zhao Jing's eyes narrowed, then he quickly calmed down, and said with a slightly sad expression: "My father fell into the trap of those three Taoist priests and was assassinated..."

"Your Highness thinks that those three Taoist priests can assassinate Your Majesty?"

There seemed to be a trace of ridicule on Doctor Chen's face: "I'm afraid this answer won't convince the world!"

Zhao Jing said: "Of course Gu knows it well. Gu has sent people to find out the details of the three Taoist priests. Once the people behind them are found out, Gu will definitely destroy all nine of their clans and pay homage to the spirit of my father in heaven!"

Dr. Chen stared at Zhao Jing, trying to see any flaw in his face.

But unfortunately, there was no reaction on Zhao Jing's face. From beginning to end, he was extremely calm.

This left Mr. Chen at a loss as to what to do!

There was a hint of gloom in his eyes, "I still have something I don't understand, and I want to ask His Highness!"

Zhao Jing said calmly: "Master Chen, just speak."

"I want to know..."

There was a glint in Mr. Chen's eyes: "Where was Your Majesty the night His Majesty was assassinated?"

At this moment, the entire square in front of the main hall was almost silent, and it became quiet instantly.

There were many people present, and their expressions changed instantly.

This, is this a direct breach of face?

Zhao Jing's face suddenly raised his head the moment he heard these words.

He stared at Dr. Chen in front of him, he knew this person.

This person is quite influential in the court and is not a minister of his faction.

Therefore, it is not surprising that he jumped out today. There might be someone behind him!

Zhao Jing's eyes were calm: "What do you mean, Mr. Chen?"

"Isn't it clear, Your Highness?"

Zhao Jing's eyes narrowed: "Mr. Chen, do you suspect that my father's assassination has something to do with Gu?"

"I don't dare!"

Dr. Chen said calmly: "I am just curious. Where was Your Highness the night His Majesty was assassinated?"

Is this just curiosity?

He is completely forcing her to marry him and threatening her.

Zhao Jing's eyes were downcast and he spoke slowly: "I stayed in Qingxin Palace that night and never left."

He was kept in the palace by Emperor Zhao, and many people knew this.

"Yeah?"

Dr. Chen sneered: "Who can testify?"

Zhao Jing's face changed slightly, and his eyes gradually turned evil: "Mr. Chen, do you really suspect that Gu Mou murdered the emperor?"

"That's not what I meant!"

Naturally, Dr. Chen did not admit it, but there was a sneer in his eyes.

"His Majesty was assassinated for no reason, and there are many doubts about it. As the Emperor of the Great Zhao Dynasty, His Majesty was assassinated in the palace. This is a dereliction of duty on our part, and it is also shocking. Before the truth is fully investigated, everyone present is suspected, including me. ,nature……"

Dr. Chen glanced at him as if inadvertently: "Of course, including you, Your Highness!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Jing finally understood the other party's purpose.

Sure enough, it was for him!

Zhao Jing's eyes were slightly gloomy, and he suppressed the murderous intention in his heart.

"Then according to Master Chen's wishes, what should we do?"

Dr. Chen said calmly: "In my opinion, the most important thing right now is to find out the real culprit who assassinated Your Majesty, bring the real culprit to justice, and kill the nine tribes before we can talk about anything else!"

"As for His Highness's ascension to the throne, maybe we can wait for a while..."

"..."

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Jing's face turned completely cold. He stared at Mr. Chen in front of him, already understanding in his heart.

I'm afraid this is his real purpose.

"Absolutely not!"

Before Zhao Jing could speak, the chief eunuch on the side had already taken the lead to stand up and object.

"A country cannot live without a king for a day. According to the teachings of our great ancestor, after the death of the previous emperor, the new emperor must be confirmed as soon as possible and enthroned as emperor to appease the people of the world!"

"That's not necessarily the case!"

There was a sneer in Mr. Chen's eyes and he spoke lightly.

"Now that His Majesty's body is still cold, but the murderer has not been arrested, doesn't it show that we and other ministers are incompetent? Until the truth is found out, everyone is a suspect. If the suspicion is not ruled out, if something happens, you can take the responsibility. Responsibility?"

The head eunuch's pupils shrank suddenly, with a look of horror on his face.

threaten!

He knew it was a threat.

What happened?

What else could be a surprise?

Wouldn't it be better to point at His Highness's nose and say that he murdered His Majesty?

"This is the teaching of our great ancestors. Your Majesty has just passed away. Could it be that Mr. Chen is going to disobey my great teachings?"

The head eunuch glanced back at Zhao Jing and spoke in a gloomy tone.

"Of course I dare not violate the teachings of the great Zhao ancestors, but..."

Dr. Chen's eyes were firm and he spoke confidently: "I just think that this matter can be slowed down for the time being!"

"Be bold!"

The chief eunuch said coldly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascended the throne in compliance with the will of heaven and the will of the people. What is your intention to prevent His Highness from ascending the throne?"

Doctor Chen was not timid at all. He glanced at the chief eunuch and sneered: "You are so excited to retort. Could it be that His Majesty's assassination has something to do with you?"

The steward's face changed instantly, and he said in panic: "You, you are talking nonsense. This old slave has been with His Majesty for many years and is loyal to His Majesty!"

"Loyal?"

There was a trace of sarcasm on Mr. Chen's face: "Ha!"

"I agree with Master Chen!"

At this moment, another minister stood up and said: "While the truth behind His Majesty's assassination has not yet been investigated, the new emperor's enthronement can be postponed for the time being!"

"I agree!"

In an instant, there were countless voices of support in the entire square.

Ministers from all parties in North Korea and China united together at this time.

The expression of the chief eunuch changed instantly, and he looked at Zhao Jing who was helpless.

At this time, Zhao Jing's expression finally changed slightly.

He knew that he would be blocked and suspected by the officials in the court, but he didn't expect that they would be so blatant? !

So many people spoke out at the same time, what did they want to do?

Force yourself?

A strong murderous intention flashed through Zhao Jing's eyes.

"Everyone, what does this mean?"

Zhao Jing's eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one.
