Chapter 941 The Prince Is Defeat(1)
At the hour of Mao, the bell rang, and all the civil and military officials filed into the court. The emperor passed away suddenly, and many matters had not been decided yet. They needed to be decided by all the ministers. Therefore, after discussion, all the ministers decided to gather in the court every day according to the usual time to discuss the affairs after the emperor's death.
All the ministers lined up to enter the court and were about to start discussing matters when the Prince of Guangling suddenly spoke up and said loudly: "My Lords, as the saying goes: A country cannot be without a monarch for a day. I think that since your Majesty has passed away, it is better to let the prince ascend the throne as soon as possible and rule the world to comfort your Majesty's spirit in heaven. What do you think?"
Prime Minister Ning said: "According to the rules of the Great Jin Kingdom, the prince's enthronement ceremony must be performed after the previous emperor is buried. Now your Majesty has just passed away for three days, and it has not even been the first seven days. Why should the Prince of Guangling be anxious?"
Marquis Wuchang said: "The Prime Minister is wrong. It is said that this time is different. The previous emperors ascended the throne according to the law, so It was a peaceful time. Now our emperor was poisoned by the traitor King Qin. The prince must ascend the throne as soon as possible and make a decision to kill the traitor King Qin. Therefore, it is not the same as the previous emperors. "
"Yes, the prince should ascend the throne as soon as possible, fight against the traitor, and bring peace to the world!"
"Please ascend the throne as soon as possible!"
"Please ascend the throne!"
In the court, a large group of people knelt down, including the original prince's party, and many neutral ministers who were coerced and lured by Jin Zhong last night. An Guogong Du Ruhai was also among them. Everyone knelt on the ground devoutly and asked the prince to take the overall situation into consideration and ascend the throne immediately.
Crown Prince Nangong Shi suppressed his excitement, and on the surface he was still humble and courteous as before, and said modestly: "Thank you all for your appreciation. I will live up to your expectations and will make me a great success..."
"Your Highness!"
A voice came from the door of the court hall, and the King of Qin, dressed in mourning clothes, came in. He walked slowly, his handsome face was cold and angular, his eyes were cold and cold, like extremely cold ice and snow, which made people shudder. From a distance, people could feel a kind of evil spirit coming fiercely, full of dangerous atmosphere.
"Old Third!"
The prince was shocked, "Why are you here? Aren't you on the way?"
The King of Qin raised his lips, his eyes caught Nangong Shi sharply, and sneered: "If I were still on the way, I would have to take the blame for my father's murder given to me by Prince An!"
The prince's eyes flashed with a trace of panic, but he quickly calmed down. He said righteously: "King of Qin, regardless of whether you killed my father or not, you are now the biggest suspect. Therefore, I can only follow the rules and temporarily detain you in the Dali Temple for interrogation. When the truth comes out, if you are really innocent, I will clear your name! "
Nangong Shi laughed: "What a thief crying thief, the prince deliberately put the crime of killing his father on me, Nangong Yi, isn't it just to kill two birds with one stone? How can he clear my name? I'm afraid that I will never get out of the Dali Temple!"
"Bold King Qin, you dare to slander me, it's obviously you who killed His Majesty, and you dare to accuse the prince, you are really vicious!"
King Guangling pointed at Nangong Yi, indignant. Jin Dapeng also said with the same hatred: "Your Highness, I request your Highness to agree to arrest the King of Qin and interrogate him strictly. We will definitely be able to find out the details of his murder of Your Majesty."
Marquis of Jian'an Wu Guosheng said loudly: "No, the literati and officials should not be punished, let alone the legitimate prince? Moreover, under severe punishment, there must be unjust imprisonment. There are many doubts about the death of the emperor. We need to investigate carefully and find more evidence before we can make a conclusion."
