Chapter 725 Questioning His Majesty
Marquis Wu'an personally stepped forward holding the military talisman and knelt in front of the hall, just below His Majesty's dragon table.
He was extremely respectful, and the military token in his hand glowed with a faint green light.
Yun Xuanshuo narrowed his eyes slightly, he didn't expect that he was going to hand in the military token.
Looking at the military token so close to him, he said nothing, and the entire hall was silent.
The trusted eunuch had already stepped forward and took the military token, but Pang Rong saw that the eunuch was wearing something on his hand.
It was something transparent and felt smooth when it touched his hand.
It looks like a glove, but I can't tell what it's made of.
The eunuch placed the military token on the tray, but Yun Xuanshuo did not touch it.
"Marquis Wu'an is ill, so I cannot force him. Now our dynasty has many talented people. Marquis Wu'an has spent his whole life in the military, so he should enjoy his old age in peace."
Yun Xuanshuo did as he wished and did not reject his idea of retiring and returning home.
Wu Anhou narrowed his eyes, slowly stood up, and suddenly said:
"Your Majesty, I have something else to say."
Marquis Wu'an suddenly turned around and looked at the ministers.
Behind the minister was a group of guards from the Beijing Guard Camp, one of whom was staring at him with a warning look.
His beard trembled slightly, and he closed his eyes. He finally thought of his son, took a deep breath, and spoke resolutely:
"Today, I received a handwritten letter with your Majesty's handwriting and seal on it. Your Majesty gave this letter to Huo Xiangxi. I would like to ask your Majesty whether this is true."
Marquis Wu'an took out the handwritten letter and opened it directly.
The seal on it is very clear, and everyone knows His Majesty's handwriting, so they can naturally recognize it at a glance.
The ministers were in an uproar, but before they could say anything, Marquis Wu An continued:
“Your Majesty, it was Old Master Huo who single-handedly helped you take the throne, but it was you who asked Huo Xiangxi to mine the mine, but in the end you executed the entire Huo family for treason. Why did you do that?
Is it because you doubt your identity that you want to kill people to silence them? The Huo family is full of loyal and brave people, but they have ended up like this. Your Majesty is so cruel. We all know the principle of killing the dog after the rabbit is dead, but it is so cruel to execute An Shang for the crime of treason. Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that the loyal ministers will be disheartened?"
The imperial edict in Marquis Wu'an's hand fell to the ground, with the handwriting on it. Everyone was shocked and stared at Marquis Wu'an in disbelief.
What is he going to do?
He wants to overturn the case for the Huo family?
Is he crazy?
"Could it really be that His Majesty did it?"
"Oh my god, this is horrible."
"The Huo family has shown such great kindness to Your Majesty."
......
Everyone was talking quietly.
The discussion spread quickly, and even people on the other side of the square heard it.
"What nonsense! This decree is fake! Come, arrest him!"
Yun Xuanshuo stood up in a panic and yelled angrily at the Beijing Guard Battalion beside him.
"Your Majesty, are you afraid of this, messing up your bloodline and destroying your loyal people?"
Marquis Wu'an seemed to be full of righteousness and was not afraid at all.
"I am of royal blood, there is no doubt about that. As for the Huo family, I have never done anything wrong, otherwise I would not have spared Mr. Huo's life! I am upright and honest!"
When Yun Xuanshuo said these words, he seemed to be lacking in strength, and his momentum was not as strong as that of Marquis Wu'an.
What he said only proved that he was guilty.
He would not have done this if it wasn't for the purpose of completely clearing up the court.
Of course, he was just acting in this scene, waiting for Pang Rong and his son to make trouble.
And Pang Qingping hasn't made any move yet, so we have to force the father and son to take action.
In the court, he could also see clearly who were their minions and who were playing both sides.
He knew that since he ascended the throne, countless old ministers were dissatisfied with him and even hoped that the royal family would die out and they would take over.
Today is the best time to catch them one by one and catch them all in one fell swoop.
"Saving Mr. Huo alive? Your Majesty is afraid of causing public resentment, right? It's also to control the Huo family army in the barracks. Your Majesty, don't flatter yourself. If you have the guts, send Mr. Huo here to confront him face to face!"
Pang Rong is stalling for time.
Of course, he also knew that the first thing the army would do when entering the city was to go to the Huo family and kill Old Man Huo.
There is no way that Mr. Huo would appear here and confront him.
At this moment, all the ministers in the square understood what had happened and their eyes widened.
Since they were farther away, the discussions were naturally louder.
"The world is going to change today!"
"I have long felt that His Majesty's bloodline is not genuine. He has been wandering outside for so many years. Who knows if he has become a different person?"
"Even if he has a legitimate bloodline, I heard that he can't have children. The royal family is also broken. How can he have the face to continue sitting in that position?"
"What should we do?"
"A man who knows the current situation is a hero. Your Majesty is determined to use young people. Where will our old faces be put?"
......
As expected, many ministers had long been dissatisfied with His Majesty's use of newcomers, and some of them even seemed to be gloating over his misfortune.
Even the eunuchs and maids standing by were terrified, as if they had a premonition that something big was about to happen, and they fled in panic.
The harem was in even greater chaos.
Except for the queen, other concubines packed their bags and fled when they heard the noise.
Pang Qingping saw that the time had come, and he made a gesture to the Beijing Guards nearby, and suddenly shouted:
"Confusing bloodlines, destroying loyal people! Huang Tian should be established to rectify the heavens!"
Pang Qingping strode towards the main hall.
The guards beside him suddenly moved and stood behind him.
"I don't believe that Your Majesty is such a person! Your Majesty has been on the throne for many years, sharing hardships with the people, working diligently and loving the people like your own children. You are the traitors!"
A young official was about to rush over in anger.
The guard closest to him raised his knife and was about to chop him. At this moment, Ye Xingfeng, who was standing by, kicked the guard's knife away and saved the young official.
Pang Qingping turned around and saw that it was Ye Xingfeng. His eyes shook slightly, as if he felt that something was wrong.
"You...why are you here?"
Ye Xingfeng also worked in the Beijing Guard Camp, but he was just a minor official. Yesterday, he had ordered his men to transfer him to a small path outside the palace to serve.
He shouldn't be in the palace.
But since you're here, you're here to die.
"Your Ye family and the dog emperor are birds of a feather. We all prosper together. Arrest him!"
As soon as Pang Qingping gave the order, the guards immediately ran towards Ye Xingfeng.
"Fuck you, you traitor, you're a whore and you're still pretending to be a saint. Everyone knows what kind of person your majesty is. You're the one who's a loyal and righteous man!"
Ye Xingfeng cursed and started fighting.
"Yes, we believe in your majesty!"
Several colleagues suddenly turned against him and helped Ye Xingfeng deal with those people.
The scene suddenly became chaotic.
The other ministers looked at this and that. At this moment, there was a sudden sound of banging on the door at the city gate, which frightened everyone.
Actually...actually brought a large army?
In the main hall, a eunuch also hurried to report:
"Your Majesty... there is a large army outside the palace and they are breaking down the gates!"
