Chapter 687: Above the Court

He successively convinced Qian Muqian and Cheng Qingsong, the two most prestigious ministers in the court, which greatly increased his confidence in dealing with the next situation.

With the Royal Forest Army in control and the support of the two great elders in the DPRK and China, even if there is an impending political storm in front of us, what is there to fear?!

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Six months later, the Jingyang Bell in the Daming Palace rang in the last year of the 24th year of Yong'an.

Do you feel like time is running around you?

Because Zhu Zhankun didn't have his own reign title yet. When the late emperor passed away and he succeeded to the throne, it was at the end of the year. Originally, it was in the second year after the death of the late emperor that the new emperor could change his reign title and have his own reign title.

However, the Yuan Dynasty cannot be changed before the death of the late emperor.

Therefore, if Zhu Zhankun wants to change the Yuan Dynasty, he will have to wait until the end of next year.

However, Emperor Yong'an has passed away, and the reign name Yong'an can no longer be used, so now we are in a very embarrassing situation.

All the officials who were counting the bells understood the meaning after counting the forty-five bells: the emperor died again!

In less than a year, the third emperor of Zhou Dynasty passed away.

The streets that were originally under martial law due to the coup were later lifted.

There were cries in the mansions of officials and scholars in the city.

Of course, it is limited to ordinary officials. As for ordinary people, how can Zhu Zhankun compare with Emperor Taizongwen?! They only know that Zhu Zhankun killed Yu Yanyi, how can he be in the court?

Before the edict is issued, keep filial piety for Zhu Zhankun?!

And the officials who had originally heard the news and made up their minds not to attend the court meeting had to leave their homes and go to the imperial city in mourning.

This is to pay homage to the deceased emperor, not to discuss court affairs.

----------------------------------

Last night and this morning, the sound of killings in the city was known to everyone, whether it was officials or ordinary people.

In the view of some Qingliu, Yang Qingyuan's move to shake the country's foundation is really a heinous crime.

In Pingkangfang, a solemn-eyed bachelor of the Hanlin Academy put on his official robe, put on his filial piety for Zhu Zhankun, and then embraced his newlywed wife for the last time.

This person was the number one scholar in the 24th year of Yong'an, Song Wenyan. This person had just been named on the gold list last year and was selected as the number one scholar by Emperor Taizong.

After bidding farewell to his wife, Song Wenyan straightened his official hat, then walked out of the mansion with a calm face, got on the official sedan and headed towards the imperial city.

The ups and downs of the official sedan chair are far incomparable with the ups and downs of the mood inside the sedan chair.

Once upon a time, Yang Qingyuan was one of Song Wenyan's idols. He could govern the country with his literary skills and bring peace to the country with his military skills. He would not succumb to the powerful, and dared to speak out and remonstrate with others.

But now, he has become a rebel who caused rebellion. Although he, Song Wenyan, is a scholar, he will not be afraid of Yang Qingyuan's sword.

The country has been supporting scholars for 50 years, and the Death Day for Righteousness is today!

Even if he dies today, Yang Ni's blood will be spilled. We must not allow such rebellious ministers and traitors to usurp the throne and seize the artifacts of the Zhou Dynasty.

The clear flow in the court was partly due to Song Wenyan's mentality at this time.

The ruler is the guide for his ministers. Even if the ruler makes a huge mistake, you should not commit regicide.

Qingliu Yanguan's moral standards are much higher than those of Zhuoliu and Wuxun.

At times like this, the turbid currents and nobles can bury their heads in the sand, but the clear streams, who have always been gentlemen, must move forward!

When Zhu Zhankun was killed in Yanyi, they might not dare to confront Zhu Zhankun because Zhu Zhankun was the emperor.

But now facing Yang Qingyuan, they don't have much psychological pressure.

Many Qingliu made the same plan and angrily criticized Yang Qingyuan without being connected in series.

It is easy to kill the emperor, but difficult to win people's hearts.

This is the first problem Yang Qingyuan faces, the impact of public opinion from officials in North Korea and China.

Officials from the six departments also came out. They didn't look like Qingliu. They were affairs officers. Under normal circumstances, doing their jobs well was the first priority. They were different from Hanlin and Yushi.

What people in the Six Ministries are most worried about is the functioning of the imperial court.

Yang Qingyuan's regicide is difficult! Difficult! Difficult to solve in a short time!

Then the central government will be in chaos, and the six ministries, as the executive organ of the imperial government, will inevitably be under great pressure.

The children of the royal family also left the palace one after another. The Great Zhou Dynasty only went through three dynasties, and there were not many royal family members.

Emperor Taizong Wen's descendants were not prosperous, and most of them were Taizu's other descendants and descendants.

Naturally, the throne has nothing to do with them, but they cannot just watch Yang Qingyuan usurp power and seize the throne.

Then there are the people from the old Wuxun Group, who are also divided into two factions. One is the opposition, headed by Puding Marquis Chen Huan and Dongchuan Marquis Hu Bin. Yes, they are the two who were killed and captured.

The other group is represented by the four founding kings. The four kings are hereditary and retire with the country. They rarely participate in the government affairs of the court. They are actually not very interested in how the court will deal with Yang Qingyuan, or who will be the emperor. They just hope

The court will stabilize as soon as possible.

As for why there is no support for Yang Qingyuan?!

Yang Qingyuan is the representative of the new Wuxun Group, and he once suppressed the old Wuxun Group in the water transport case. Who would have nothing to do to support him!? Is it a crime?!

Zhongshan Prince’s Mansion: I seem to be offended!

All the important forces in the DPRK and China are basically here.

It seems that the New Wuxun Group did not appear, because all the people in the New Wuxun Group in the Divine Capital followed Yang Qingyuan in rebellion, and are now performing their respective duties!

Countless officials rushed towards the imperial city. Perhaps they were still afraid of last night's mutiny, but fear did not mean that they would compromise and surrender to Yang Qingyuan.



It's April 14th, it's early summer, and the morning sunshine is already a bit hot.

The traces left by last night's battle still exist in the city of God. Although the Royal Forest Army tried their best to clean it up, marks from swords and arrows can still be seen in the streets and alleys, and there are even blood stains that will not be cleaned in the future.

The atmosphere in the imperial city was extremely depressing.

Officials from Qingliu, the royal family, Jiuwuxun, the Six Ministries and other departments were all in different moods. Although they were in different camps and had different attitudes, they all had no good impressions of Yang Qingyuan.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! No one likes a person who destroys the existing system. As a regicide, Yang Qingyuan can be said to have trampled on the order, etiquette and etiquette of monarchs and ministers for hundreds of years. He naturally belongs to scholars and Confucians.

The door is the target of criticism and attack by mainstream thought.

The common man got angry, drew his sword and stood up, blood spattered five steps, and the world was pure, only for today.

This makes the powerful feel extremely insecure.

The people gathered in the imperial city at this moment are like a pile of dry firewood, only one spark is needed to ignite a raging fire.

And this spark that ignited the firewood soon appeared.

As Yang Qingyuan entered the imperial city alone without any bodyguards, the crowd became excited and gradually reached a boiling point.

At this time, Yang Qingyuan's mood was not calm either.

Since the army started last night, they have destroyed the palace city, killed the Hun King, deposed the Wei King, and taken control of the forest. After that, they started to deal with the major and minor matters after the mutiny, and everything was as Yang Qingyuan expected.

Before dawn, Puding Marquis Chen Huan and Dongchuan Marquis Hu Bin, who were hiding in the shadows, suddenly took action and almost caused the situation in the Royal Forest Army camp to get out of control! The situation was very critical for a time and almost overturned. It was not until Yang Qingyuan personally arrived with his troops that the situation was put out.

The mutiny of Chen and Hu.

At this moment, the imperial camp was in the hands of Yang Qingyuan, and the military power of the divine capital was in his hands.

The ones blocking Yang Qingyuan now are these conservative forces.

How to innovate?!

It is impossible for him to kill all his opponents. This is unrealistic. He must divide and attack to win them over.

We must unite all forces that can be united and establish the broadest united front.

This is why Yang Qingyuan has been busy since dawn, running around to get support.

Just to deal with the situation in the imperial city at this time!

Yang Qingyuan needs to convince the officials, or in other words, make people obey.

At this moment, Yang Qingyuan stepped into the imperial city alone, which made all the civil and military officials in the imperial city, especially those who were deeply hostile to Yang Qingyuan, murderous.

They are afraid of Yang Qingyuan because he has the military power in the divine capital, but now Yang Qingyuan is alone.

In the Ming Dynasty above the Blue Star, the ministers headed by Wang Hong once beat Ma Shun, the commander of the Jin Yiwei, to death in the Golden Palace.

If Yang Qingyuan were an ordinary person, his ending would be the same as when Caesar entered the Senate.

It's a pity that Yang Qingyuan is not a weak scholar, but a civil servant, a particularly orthodox kind.

Just when the officials came forward in anger, Yang Qingyuan just said a faint word.

"quiet!"

These two short words, under the influence of Yang Qingyuan's true energy, were like thunder, reaching everyone's ears.

Like a basin of ice water, it extinguished the anger of the ministers.

Standing in front of the ministers was not only the chief minister of Dali Temple in the imperial court, but also the Qingyuan Sword Lord in the world.

Standing among the clan members, Zhu Wuwu looked at Yang Qingyuan, his eyes becoming more complicated.

Such a young Fa Tianxiang and Zhenwu lineage cannot be judged by common sense.

That's right, now Yang Qingyuan has entered the realm of law, heaven, and earth. The plot that could have been completed in one chapter was taken away by such a sentence.

Just today, the law of the sky and the earth are leaping forward.

"Everyone, let's perform the ceremony first!"

Zhu Zhankun is dead, and Yang Qingyuan has to give him dignity. Even if he is a faint king, he is still the king of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The originally furious ministers went to the place where Zhu Zhankun's spirit rested to pay homage.

---------------

Different from the silent situation in the imperial city, the vitality of yesterday has been gradually restored in the divine capital.

After the martial law was lifted in the morning, the streets were calm. The thugs, hooligans, and defeated soldiers who took advantage of the troubled waters due to the mutiny last night were all captured by the six gates and the patrol battalion.

Vendors in various markets began to open their doors for business as usual, and workers came out to look for work. Along with rumors flying in the sky, various industries in Beijing slowly recovered in the sunshine according to their huge inertia.

For the common people, the change of power in the divine capital is too far away from them. No matter who is in power, the green mountains are still there, and the sunsets are red several times.

The white-haired fisherman and woodcutter on the riverbank is used to watching the autumn moon and the spring breeze. We happily meet each other over a pot of turbid wine. How many things happened in ancient and modern times? They are all laughed and talked about.

----------------------------------

Cao Xueyang was in the patrol camp of the Royal Forest Army in the northeast of the outer city of Shendu, looking towards the direction of the imperial city.

Although she is a daughter, she has commanded tens of thousands of troops, spanning thousands of miles, and defeated the enemy's chieftains in front of the battle. She has mountains in her chest and a flat lake in her face, so she has the qualifications of a general.

But at this moment, Cao Xueyang's heart was full of anxiety and worry. She was paying attention to the development of the situation in the Imperial City Palace.

Cao Xueyang, including others who followed Yang Qingyuan in raising troops, did not do it for rebellion.

Their goal is to rectify the law and restore innocence, because Zhu Zhankun went against the grain, killed innocent people indiscriminately, harmed loyal people, and forced Yu Yanyi to death.

They never thought of shaking the foundation of Zhou Dynasty and causing the mountains and rivers to waver.

Cao Xueyang could help Yang Qingyuan with military matters, but Cao Xueyang could not help at all with the political disputes.



Above the palace city, there is a woman in a black skirt, white boots, and a hosta in her hair.

Liu Wangshu seemed to particularly like this simple and elegant dress. Next to her stood a white-haired little lolita.

Both of them are rare masters in the Dongxuan Realm, but they can still watch here at this moment.

Yang Qingyuan has to accomplish two things next, neither of which can be accomplished with swords or fists.

First, it proves the legality of raising troops and the legality of regicide, so that he cannot be held responsible for his crimes.

Second, after completing the first condition, push Thirteen to the throne of God.

How difficult these two things are!

They couldn't help and could only watch Yang Qingyuan here alone.

--------------------------

By noon, all the officials had finished paying homage to Zhu Zhankun's body.

But most people did not leave, but lined up according to their shifts, waiting in the Hanyuan Hall for the boss to announce the truth of the matter.

How did Emperor Zhu Zhankun die?! Who did it?!

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The sky cannot live without sun, and the country cannot live without a king. Who is the candidate for the new emperor?! When will he ascend the throne?

As time went by, when officials began to whisper to each other, especially the middle and lower-level officials, all kinds of gossip spread all over the sky. Unlike the bosses, they only knew that a mutiny had occurred, and they did not know the specific circumstances.

Supervise the censor and clean up the court rituals, but now they have no great effect, and they can't stop the discussion in the palace at all.

In the Hanyuan Hall, a series of big shots such as Qian Da Shi, Chang Sun Da Shi, Kong Da Shi, Da Jiu Qing, Liu Bu Shi Lang, and the Four Founding Kings stood at the forefront of the class, with different expressions.

As Yang Qingyuan stepped into Hanyuan Hall, the noise started to boil.

"Thief! How dare you come here? What face do you have, facing Taizu Taizong?! You murderer of the emperor! Get out!"

Chen Jinru, the censor of the capital city on the right side of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, cursed.

His words immediately aroused the response of many gossip officials.

"Get out!"

"roll!"

Get out of this, not only get out of Hanyuan Palace, but also get Yang Qingyuan out of the officialdom of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The crowd was shouting loudly, as if everyone was a righteous person.

Amid the noise in the hall, Chen Jinru stepped forward quickly, walked to the side of Qian Muqian, Cheng Qingsong and Changsun Fuji, and asked: "President! What do you think, two great bachelors?"

This is actually forcing the three of them to take a stand.

Except for Kong Qinli, a bachelor of Dongge who had just been agreed by Zhu Zhankun to participate in government affairs.

Qian Muqian, the bachelor of Wenyuange University, Sun Fuji, the chief scholar of Wenhuadian University, the Chancellor of the Ducha Yuan, and Cheng Qingsong, the censor of Youdu, were the leaders of the civil servants.

Even if he was a Heavenly Official in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Zhao Menke would still be inferior to them.

Now that Qingliu wants to severely punish Yang Qingyuan, he naturally needs the support of these three people.

Changsun Fuji knew his identity and situation, but did not speak.

Cheng Qingsong also had no intention of expressing his position. Only Qian Muqian, the bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion, slowly said, "After the national mourning, I will write a letter of resignation and return to my hometown."

This is Qian Muqian's attitude. The subtext is that he doesn't want to get involved in punishing Yang Qingyuan. He wants to punish you yourself. Don't involve me!

Qian Muqian was the Minister of Rites and the leader of the literary circle. He had presided over the imperial examinations for many years and had countless disciples and former officials. He was also the leader of the Yue and Yang parties. His words were extremely weighty. As soon as he opened his mouth, all the civil servants in the palace fell silent.

This is his prestige. At this moment, nearly 30% of the civil servants in Hanyuan Palace have a close relationship with Qian Muqian.

Faced with the denunciation of Qingliu civil servants, most of the Wuxun Group looked on with cold eyes.

Only some members of the opposition group within the old Wuxun Group spoke out in support.

The leaders of the opposition, Puding Marquis Chen Huan and Dongchuan Marquis Hu Bin, were captured and killed.

Next, there are two ways for the opposition, one is to fight to the end. It is these people who are supporting him now. They hope to use the power of the civil servant group to attack Yang Qingyuan.

The other way is to recognize that those who understand current affairs are heroes and feel that they are holding Yang Qingyuan's lap.

Most of the people in the old Wuxun Group are heroes. They have the title of their ancestors. Although they don't have much money, at least they have enough food and clothing. Who can be the emperor?

As for the four founding kings, except for the Prince of Zhongshan, they all plan to watch with cold eyes. As long as they don't rebel, their titles will be here.

As for the New Wuxun Group, please, those are the people who followed Yang Qingyuan in rebellion. Yang Qingyuan is the leader of the New Wuxun Group. Is it possible that he will oppose himself?!

Seeing that he could not get support from the big bosses of the civil service group, the right-hand censor of Qiandu teamed up with Chen Wenting, the minister of the criminal department of his family, to target the royal family.

"My lord, what do you think?!"

The two of them walked up to Zhu Wuwu hand in hand and asked.

Although Zhu Wuwu is not Zongzheng, he is in charge of Hulong Villa and is famous far and wide.

However, Lao Zongzheng, the Prince of Linhuai County, did not appear here today because he was old and ill at home.

Zhu Wuwu's face was full of sorrow at this moment, "I watched Emperor Daxing grow up. Now that the emperor has passed away, I am heartbroken. I really don't have the heart to think about this. If you two adults are interested, you can go

Ask the old prince of Linhuai!"

After finishing speaking, Zhu Wuwu fell into a sad silence.

Chen Wenting and Chen Jinru were both dumbfounded! These were not the answers they wanted. Their eyes turned and they wanted to continue asking other big shots.

But at this moment, in the Hanlin Academy class train, a figure stood out clearly, looking different from the philistine Er Chen.

The new champion Song Wenyan could not stand the behavior of these two men at all. He was secretive and timid. It was just one death, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

Song Wenyan came out and shouted: "If your blood is not cold, I will come. Today, Yang Qingyuan must not be allowed to usurp the throne and commit rebellion!!"

Song Wenyan was a truly pure man, just like Yang Shen, the son of Yang Tinghe, raised his arms and shouted at the Ming Dynasty ceremony on Blue Star.

The country has been supporting scholars for one hundred and fifty years, and the Day of Death for Righteousness is today. Later, a large number of civil servants followed Yang Shen and knelt at Zuoshun Gate to admonish Emperor Jiajing.

Song Wenyan's words also moved a large number of people. Whether it was for justice and morality or not, a large group of people followed Song Wenyan and stood in front of Yang Qingyuan.

ps: I explained the timeline related to the work. There is never a circle that never comes back. I have always written it this way. If you don’t understand, you can take a look.

ps2: This sentence is free.
