Morning next day.
Everyone in the civil and military circles of the dynasty knew that Prince Gu of Prince Hui's Palace was in Qingxin Hall. I haven't gotten up since I knelt down yesterday afternoon. The officials didn't know what was going on, so they started talking about it.
Last night Mr. Xia Hou entered the palace and chatted with the emperor about old things. For example, the three of them were so heroic back then, riding horses on the grasslands and killing Turks angrily. They were frightening and invincible.
The other person among the three is naturally Prince Hui.
It's a pity that Prince Hui has passed away now, and those people back then were all dead and injured, and not many survived. Now, Prince Hui's favorite son has something to ask for from the emperor, and there is nothing he can't agree to.
The emperor snorted coldly.
"His favorite son is now asking me to cut open his father's belly. Do you think I will agree?" The emperor asked with raised eyebrows.
Even Xiahou Ye has made ten thousand preparations. At this time, the veins on his forehead could not help but jump, and he cursed in his heart.
He tried his best to ignore the psychological shadow caused by what he just said, and asked in a deep voice: "What is the prince's intention?"
The emperor also sighed at this time and said: "He suspects that Prince Hui was murdered by Concubine Wei and Tian Yuchen, and wants to perform a dissection to collect evidence."
"What kind of evidence is in Prince Hui's belly?" Mr. Xiahou asked in surprise.
"It is said that a snake was scalded by Tian Yuchen and entered his anus, and he died of anger." The emperor's expression was also very solemn. If this is true, it would be extremely unconscionable for me. If this is not true, the Emperor would be afraid that he would not be able to protect his son if he were dissected...
After hearing this, Mr. Xiahou cursed in his heart again. Bingwen could only tell Prince Gu about such an outrageous thing. He didn't know whether to believe Bingwen or not. After all, this matter was too big!
The emperor was silent.
Mr. Xiahou was also silent.
The two people, nearly half a hundred years old, looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes.
The emperor suddenly became happy and asked with a smile: "Persuasion, why don't you continue to persuade me?"
Mr. Xiahou was so angry that he almost couldn't take a breath at the emperor's words, and his face was livid with anger. He suddenly remembered that during the New Year's Eve dinner, Xia Chu called out Bian Ding's name. In an instant, Bingwen's confidence was strengthened. He said to the emperor: "I advise you, Your Majesty, you should issue an edict."
The emperor's face turned cold as he smiled.
"You know, if I agree, there will be no snake in the stomach after being cut open. How will Gu Xingyun live in the future? How can he gain a foothold in the capital and the army? His life will be ruined. Are you worthy of Gu Shiqing?" The emperor was angry. He did not expect that Xiahouye actually persuaded him to have a caesarean section.
"Has your Majesty ever thought that Gu Shiqing's death would be in vain? You are worthy of the half of the country he won for you."
The words of the Marquis made a "boom" sound, and a bloody flower exploded in the emperor's heart.
yes. Today, half of these great rivers and mountains were conquered by General Zhao Dingshan. Half of them were killed by Prince Gu Shiqinghui. Is he worthy? How can he deserve it? How could he be worthy of...his brother.
Xiahouye said no more, patted the emperor's hand with his hand, turned around and left.
When he reached the door, the emperor suddenly said: "Li Wei, send Master Xia off."
Mr. Xia Hou paused and smiled.
This matter should be done.
Therefore, during today's morning court meeting, the emperor saw that all the officials were also paying close attention to this matter, and he said, "It seems that all of you, my dear friends, know that Prince Gu has been kneeling in my Qingxin Hall."
When the ministers heard the emperor speak, they all fell silent. Seeing the emperor's pause, someone who knew the current affairs immediately spoke to the emperor and asked, "I don't know, Prince Gu, what do you mean?"
The emperor nodded with satisfaction and continued, "Shizi Gu suspected that there was something strange about the cause of Prince Hui's death, so he came to ask me for an imperial decree to open the coffin and conduct an autopsy."
"Open the coffin for an autopsy? Hasn't Princess Hui already had one? Why do we still need to do an autopsy?" All the officials were confused.
"Prince Gu found out some hidden information, so he had to break his belly to collect evidence." The emperor spoke with great difficulty.
boom…
The ministers exploded.
"Caesarean section?"
"Who was disemboweled?"
"Cut the prince's belly open?"
"The son wants to disembowel his biological father?"
For a time, the ministers were filled with anger and excitement.
"Your Majesty, think twice."
"I can't do that, Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, that is Prince Hui."
"The emperor's move is treasonous and contrary to family ethics."
The emperor's face is getting darker and darker...
"Father, I don't know what evidence Prince Gu wants to obtain."
Xiao Zimu spoke at the right time, temporarily shifting the focus of the ministers to the evidence.
The emperor's expression softened slightly. But it only took a moment, because he suddenly realized that he didn't know how to tell his ministers that there might be a snake in Prince Hui's belly.
The emperor cursed in his heart. This old bastard, Xia Weimou, insisted on entering the palace last night and said something to him, which made him...
Seeing that the emperor's face turned ugly again, Xiao Zimu carefully considered his words and said: "It must be extremely important and quite obscure evidence. As the legitimate son of Prince Hui, Prince Gu is also the General Yunhui of our Xiao Kingdom. This is Shi Neng knelt in the Qingxin Hall for such a long time to ask for the order, so he must be absolutely sure that Prince Hui died in vain. I feel that my father should agree."
Xiao Zimu's words made the emperor extremely happy physically and mentally. He nodded in approval to Xiao Zimu with great satisfaction. This son was becoming more and more pleasing to his eyes.
The courtiers were in an uproar when they saw that His Highness the Seventh Prince actually encouraged the Emperor to dissect the prince's stomach, and they all reprimanded him.
Xiao Yanjun and Du Hanfei watched Xiao Zimu being accused by the courtiers, and happily fanned the flames. From time to time, he would add something to the side: "Yes, how could His Highness do this? Yes, His Highness is going too far..." and other such sparks.
At this time, the emperor looked at Xiao Yanjun and Du Hanfei, and the faces of the courtiers became more and more unpleasant to his eyes.
"I think what Zi Mu said is absolutely correct. I have issued an edict and agreed to Prince Gu's request. Tomorrow at the time of application, I will have a caesarean section for Prince Hui." After the emperor finished speaking, he left with a roll of his sleeves. Anyway, the edict has been issued, so you have no words to say.
"Retreat from the court..." Eunuch Li quickly shouted thoughtfully, and then followed the emperor away in a hurry.
Seeing that the emperor had run away, the courtiers scolded Xiao Zimu one after another, but they could not scold him openly. They could only walk past him one by one sighing, gesticulating, and beating their chests.
After all the courtiers had dispersed, Taifu Wu came over, looked at Xiao Zimu and said, "This time, Your Highness, the Seventh Highness, has offended the public..."
Xiao Zimu smiled gratefully, knowing that Taifu Wu could still talk to him warmly at this time, he was already caring for him.
Xiao Zimu bowed to him and said, "Thank you, Mr. Wu, for worrying about me. Zimu knows it well."
Taifu Wu shook his head and left.
Xiao Zimu left the court hall and looked at the sunrise rising in the east, with a gentle smile on his lips. Thinking in his heart, he has had no desires and desires for more than ten years. Now, what if I offend the public
The emperor returned to the Qingxin Hall and said to Gu Xingyun, whose back was still straight and one knee was still kneeling, but his face was bloodless: "Go back."
Seeing that Gu Shizi was still kneeling there, Eunuch Li hurriedly went over to give him a hand and said, "Your Majesty agreed. Just at the morning court, he made an edict against all the opinions. The coffin will be opened at the time of application tomorrow. Gu Shizi, hurry back and prepare." .”
Gu Xingyun was moved in his heart. He had been kneeling for so long that his legs were already numb. With difficulty, he switched from one knee to both knees and kowtowed heavily.
"Thank you Lord for your grace!"
Your Majesty, you are worthy of this half of the country~~Can’t I just go and do it right...
