When Li Hongzhong saw Zhao Zhen falling to the ground, he rushed forward. Despite his age, his body and bones are in excellent shape. In just three or two steps, he had already rushed in front of Zhao Zhen.
Li Hongzhong stretched out his hand to hold Zhao Zhen's back and shouted quickly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
Li Hongzhong shouted, but Zhao Zhen's breathing gradually disappeared, and the hand on his body suddenly dropped.
Li Hongzhong¡¯s heart suddenly sank.
"Your Majesty has passed away."
Li Hongzhong¡¯s expression was filled with sorrow, his eyes were filled with tears, and he shouted loudly. To talk about Li Hongzhong's feelings for the emperor, it is actually very complicated.
Zhao Zhen was taught by him.
In the early years, when Zhao Zhen just succeeded to the throne, he was wise, courageous and resolute, and carried out drastic reforms. Zhao Zhen reused Wang Zongxi and Li Sheng to vigorously attack the barbarians in the north, which brought rare peace to the borders of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Even at home, Zhao Zhen is recuperating and recuperating, the country is peaceful and the people are peaceful, and the people are living a good life.
I don¡¯t know when, but Zhao Zhen changed. He became superstitious about alchemists and sought immortality.
Even changing local systems.
In the early years, there were only state governors with supervisory powers, but no state pastors. However, Zhao Zhen issued an order to turn the governor of the state into a state pastor, so that the state pastor suddenly rose to become a feudal official with military and political power.
Local officials quickly grew in size.
The imperial officials were corrupt, local power increased, the emperor became superstitious about alchemists, and indulged in alchemy for immortality. The entire Zhou Dynasty gradually became turbulent and chaotic, and the people gradually found it difficult to live
Scenes from the past flashed through Li Hongzhong¡¯s mind.
Li Hongzhong took a deep breath and finally suppressed his emotions. He stood up, listened to the commotion in the court, shouted for silence, and said: "Your Majesty has passed away. Wu Zongxiao, the Minister of Rites, immediately made arrangements and was responsible for your Majesty's funeral matters."
"Wait!"
Wang Qi suddenly spoke.
Although he is now the minister of the Ministry of War, he is only the second-in-command of the Ministry of War. But he finally turned the situation around, and it was impossible to hand over the initiative to Li Hongzhong at this critical moment. Once Li Hongzhong takes the initiative at this time and misses the opportunity to appoint Zhao Qian as emperor, it will be troublesome if he wants to change it later.
So he directly stopped him.
Li Hongzhong's face was as dark as water and he said: "Wang Qi, what do you mean? No matter how you deny His Majesty, the deceased is the most important. The biggest thing now is to arrange His Majesty's funeral. Bury His Majesty first, and then consider other things."
At this moment, Li Hongzhong looked furious and solemn.
A smile appeared on Wang Qi's lips.
The old fox has an idea!
Wang Qi had no interest in the fighting in the court. He had no intention of getting involved in such a mess. He just wanted to develop his own piece of land. But what needs to be done must still be done.
If not, all your efforts will be in vain.
Wang Qi flicked his sleeves and said calmly: "Shang Shuling, your majesty's funeral is a big matter and you really need to be cautious. But the biggest problem right now is the national foundation of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
"A country cannot live without a king for a day. If the court does not have a prince, the court will not be stable. If the court is not stable, how can you talk about His Majesty's burial? So today, the prince must be chosen. Of course, when His Majesty dies, the prince will be the new king, so he will be replaced. In a word, today we are going to decide on the candidate for the new king."
"Only in this way can we stabilize people's hearts and help the world. If we can't do this, how can we talk about other things?"
Wang Qi directly stated his intention.
Li Hongzhong¡¯s expression changed slightly.
Wang Qi¡¯s strength exceeded his expectations. In fact, at the moment, if Wang Qi had not intervened, Li Hongzhong would have taken the initiative and decided on the emperor's burial. With this period of change, there would be room for maneuver in the next step of appointing a new emperor.
This is something to try.
"It's a pity that Wang Qi refused directly and didn't give him any chance at all.
Li Hongzhong took a deep breath, asked someone to restrain the emperor's body, and then said: "Wang Qi, you are the Minister of War of the imperial court, do you really want to interfere in the affairs of the state?"
Wang Qidao: "Why can't I express my opinion on important matters of the imperial court? I propose now to decide on a new king first. Anyone who disagrees can just come forward. Come and express your opinion. Shangshu Ling, you want to oppose the appointment of a new king. ?"
While speaking, Wang Qi glanced at the dead Guan Dian on the ground, intentionally or unintentionally.
Guan Dian¡¯s body is still lying in the courtyardWang Qi had achieved his goal, so he was ready to hide behind the scenes and not let Concubine Li take it easy.
Li Fei really can¡¯t handle the situation well, so it won¡¯t be too late for him to intervene again.
This is Wang Qi¡¯s plan.
Li Fei held her head high, and he took his son's hand and walked straight forward to the bottom of Zhao Zhen's dragon chair. She turned around, stood with Zhao Qian, and then her eyes fell on Si Yi's hand.
Concubine Li said calmly: "Si Shizhong, do you think my son is not suitable to be in charge of the Great Zhou Dynasty?"
Her voice was calm.
But such calmness gives people a sense of pressure. Even Li Fei is not very old, but when she stands in the main hall, she gives people an extremely calm feeling.
Si Yi said: "Concubine Li, this is the court, there is no room for you to speak. In the harem, you are not allowed to interfere with government affairs. Are you determined to break this iron rule now?"
Concubine Li said: "Things have their own priorities. Now that it involves the new king, everything will naturally follow the authority. You, Si Yi, jumped out to support the King of Chu. Wasn't it the King of Chu who once flattered you?"
"Si Yi, when you were serving as a minister, you accepted bribes and sold your official position."
"There are as many as 38 people who have been transferred to the local area through your hands. The person who made the biggest profit is the former Yangzhou Shepherd Yuan Wei, who is now the Emperor of Chen State Yuan Wei. The youngest Yes, he is the magistrate of a county."
"As a court servant, you are supposed to select talents for the court. Until now, you only know how to seek personal gain and grab money for yourself. How can you be a court servant?"
"You recommend the King of Chu, are you worthy?"
"Look at your crime."
Li Fei took out a book from her sleeve and threw it in front of Si Yi.
Si Yi¡¯s expression changed drastically.
The expression on his face could no longer remain calm at this moment. Yuan Wei's affairs were indeed arranged by Si Yi. At that time, Yuan Wei was just a prefect of Lujiang County, and his official position was not high. However, Yuan Wei was very thoughtful and always wanted to become the governor of Yangzhou.
In the end, Yuan Wei followed Si Yi's path and became Yangzhou Mu, thus taking charge of one side.
Unexpectedly, Li Fei exposed him. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
