Chapter 250 Asking the Emperor to abdicate in favor of someone worthy of his throne (14)
Since Ye Wanwan knew the whole story, she naturally kept all the evidence that should be preserved. She knew exactly where the poison came from.
Even if Zhao Yi wanted to escape, he had to explain how the poison came from.
Duke Leng was worthy of being Duke Leng. He was powerful and well-informed. It was easy to check things out. The most important thing was that Ye Wanwan also pointed out the direction for them.
Seeing that all his children were seriously injured and the prince was killed by the emperor, even a cunning and cunning Duke Leng could not calm down completely.
Collect evidence, bring witnesses, and go directly to the palace to confront the emperor.
This time, Leng Guogong did not choose to settle the matter, but instead brought hundreds of civil and military officials with him, directly forced him to the Jinluan Palace, and questioned him in public.
The emperor murdered his own son, which was not allowed by heaven and he would never settle the matter.
"May I ask Your Majesty, why is this poison in the hands of Aunt Liu?"
"Why did Aunt Liu let the palace maid Minxiu poison His Highness the Crown Prince?"
"Who does Aunt Liu belong to?"
"Since Your Majesty is so sure that the Crown Prince was poisoned by the Imperial Concubine, why did you ask someone to bring poison with them during the investigation to blame the Imperial Concubine?"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the Emperor's biological son. Why would the Emperor murder his own child with his own hands?"
"As a king, poisoning the prince is unkind. As a biological father, poisoning his own son is unkind. Tiger poison does not eat its children. How should the emperor explain to the world and how to explain to the dead child?"
When civil servants curse people, they do not use any curse words, they are sonorous, forceful, loud and aggressive.
Ever since Leng Guogong brought all the witnesses before him, Zhao Yi knew it was over. The matter was revealed and he completely angered the Leng family.
But after knowing it, he no longer felt guilty at all. At this point, what else did he have to fear?
"Is Leng Guogong trying to force the palace to rebel?"
Leng Guogong stood in front of everyone, his eyes burning like fire: "The emperor is immoral, unkind and unjust. He has been abandoned by the great road. Heaven and earth cannot tolerate it. Please abdicate the throne and make way for others."
The purpose was clear, he actually did not want to get into any more entanglements with Zhao Yi, and directly asked Zhao Yi to abdicate without leaving any room for him.
People from Leng Guogong's group also shouted in unison: "Please abdicate the throne and make way for someone worthy of your honour."
What qualifications does an emperor who poisoned his own son have to sit on this dragon throne?
All civil and military officials forced the palace together, so it was really ridiculous for Zhao Yi to act like an emperor.
How could Zhao Yi accept his fate so easily? He sneered: "I am the emperor, and this is my kingdom. How can I allow you and other rebellious ministers and traitors to cause trouble?"
"Come here, arrest them all."
Zhao Yi shouted with great authority, but no one would listen to him anymore.
The decentralization of power for more than half a year was not empty talk. Leng Guogong worked hard to ensure that the prince could successfully ascend the throne. This was originally to prevent the Ye family and people with ulterior motives from getting in the way, but he did not expect that it would be used on Zhao Yi in the end.
Even though Zhao Yi was the emperor, no one in the entire palace listened to his orders. The few people who were loyal to him were subdued, and even Lei Hong was tied up.
The situation is over and there is no way to turn it around.
"You...you seek power and usurp the throne, and dare you kill the emperor?"
Leng Guogong: "I don't dare to kill the emperor. I just want to choose a wise leader for the people of Daliang for the country and the country of Daliang. I hope the sky will protect me and help me get a wise king in Daliang."
The Leng family gave birth to six queens and assisted four emperors. Not to mention the prince, even Zhao Yi had some of the blood of the Leng family flowing in his body.
As a member of a century-old family with powerful ministers, Leng Guogong indeed has the confidence to change the emperor. Only he dares to say such things.
"Okay, what a wise king." Zhao Yi sneered again and again, this high-sounding excuse, this righteous crusade: "What a Leng family, this is your plan, even if I am not poisoned, you have already made it.
We plan to force the palace to rebel when the prince grows up. Only the blood of your Leng family can be called a wise king, right?"
Leng Guogong's face was serious, and there was no sign of guilt: "I have always supported the emperor and protected the foundation of Daliang. It is the emperor who is unkind and unjust, and has done such inhumane and vicious things. I ask the emperor to issue an imperial edict and abdicate in favor of someone more worthy!"
"
Duke Leng considered himself loyal, upright and strict, and worthy of his conscience.
Above the Golden Palace, in front of the dragon throne, there was a majestic emperor, Zhao Yi was forced to have no way to retreat.
Zhao Yi now has two choices, he would rather die than obey and raise his sword to kill the rebellious ministers and traitors, or compromise and, as he said, issue a sinful edict. They will not kill him, but will let him live here as the sinful emperor.
In the palace, he lingered for a while until he died from the poison.
It wasn't until this moment that Zhao Yi felt any trace of regret. He shouldn't have acted impulsively.
Leng Guogong had already prepared the imperial edict and the guilty edict, and sent them to Zhao Yi. He only needed to place his seal for them to take effect.
When Zhao Yi saw the charges written above, he was so angry that he vomited out a mouthful of blood.
But Leng Guogong would not let him go just because he vomited blood. Instead, he stared at him and told him to write.
Zhao Yi picked up the pen and his hands were shaking with anger. He wrote very slowly. He vomited a mouthful of blood after writing only half a word. He couldn't calm down for a long time.
Leng Guogong snorted coldly: "Your Majesty, don't try to delay time. You are cruel and unscrupulous. Do you think anyone will come to save you?"
"kill!"
"Keng clang clang!"
Suddenly, there were shouts of killing and the sound of swords clashing outside. Zhao Yi suddenly looked up, his eyes bursting with light.
Everyone looked outside together. Leng Guogong's face turned cold, with a heavy anger.
The guards outside hurried in: "It's not good, it's not good, the eldest prince is coming with the imperial army."
He turned out to be the eldest prince.
Everyone found it unexpected. They never expected that the eldest prince would have such ability.
The people outside quickly rushed in, and the eldest prince took the lead with a sword. Just when they were shocked that the eldest prince was so brave at such a young age, they saw the prince of Zhen Guo holding a spear not far behind him.
All the officials suddenly shuddered, yes, how could they forget this person? This person has saved the emperor's life more than once, and he is like the emperor's patron saint.
Duke Leng narrowed his eyes. Since he dared to come here, how could he ignore the most powerful variable, the Marquis of Zhen Guo? He had clearly sent people to delay the delay and intercepted the news from the palace. By the time the Marquis of Zhen Guo knew about it, he should have
The dust has settled.
It should be said that he was worthy of being the Marquis of Zhenguo, but he was almost there because he came in advance.
"Father!" Zhao Zhuo's hand holding the sword was shaking, but he still stood here firmly.
Zhao Yi was very moved: "Okay, he is indeed my good son."
Feeling that he was about to be saved, Zhao Yi's voice became louder.
Zhao Zhuo was about to step forward, but Leng Guogong waved his hand, and someone immediately stepped forward to stop them.
"Master Hou."
Leng Guogong unexpectedly bowed his hand to the Marquis of Zhen Guo and said, "The Emperor is so unkind that he actually poisoned his own son and murdered his own children. Such an unconscionable act cannot be tolerated by God. Please make a clear decision, Lord Marquis."
The face of Marquis Yan Wu is hidden behind a pure gold mask. No one knows his expression, only his cold voice can be heard: "The emperor is unkind, so who did Leng Guogong force the emperor to abdicate to support the throne? The fifth prince?"
Asking for guilt is secondary, the ultimate goal is the focus.
The Leng family not only has a prince born by the queen, but also a sixth prince born by Liu Concubine. This is why those people are willing to continue to follow Duke Leng, but this is also what those people think, and it does not mean that everyone agrees.
If a baby under two years old becomes the emperor, who has the power? Everyone is not a fool.
Do you really think that since your Leng family has a high family status, everyone has to give you face?
