Riding the Pheonix Chapter 767: North Korea meeting

When Guo Xu entered the palace, he looked up at the sky.

I haven’t taken my eyes off this autumn for a long time. It is always gloomy and full of desolation.

Someone patted him on the shoulder: "Xiang Guo!"

Guo Xu turned around and twitched his lips: "It's Mr. Zhou!"

Master Zhou chuckled, leaned over and asked in a low voice: "Prime Minister Zhang suddenly wants to go to court, but what's going on?"

Guo Xu said casually: "What could happen? That's not all."

That was what Mr. Zhou wanted to inquire about, so he asked: "I heard that King An's leg will not recover. Is this true?"

Guo Xu looked at him with a half-smile but said, "Is it true that Mr. Zhou doesn't know? In the past two days, many people have gone to Prince An's Mansion to inquire about news. I believe Mr. Zhou will not be left behind, right?"

Master Zhou laughed and complained to him: "What do you think this is? When King An returned to the capital, everything was going smoothly, but he broke his leg. If he broke, he would break. Can this leg be healed? , and there are several explanations, which makes people really confused."

"Haha."

He didn't answer. Mr. Zhou could only curse the old fox in his heart, opened the skylight and said clearly: "Mr. Guo, what exactly does your political hall stand for? Do you have an explanation? It's better to let the official know what he's doing."

Although the voice was low, several people nearby heard it and all raised their ears to listen carefully.

Who is Guo Xu? This old boy is the best at speculation. He had no background in his early years, but he was forced to use a major case to break the news. He fell into the eyes of the emperor and rose to prominence. Later he was demoted to the northwest, thinking that he was done with it, but he was actually asked to take advantage of the battle in the northwest to make a stand, achieve unprecedented feats for a civil servant since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and return to the political hall.

They have reason to believe that Guo Xu will never be absent at such an important moment.

He will definitely take this opportunity to take himself one step further.

And officials like them, who have little background and limited sources of information, are confused about the current situation. Prime Minister Guo's actions are an important weather vane.

Whether you can stand on the right team or not depends on you, Mr. Guo!

Guo Xu glanced at him, showed a meaningful expression, and said: "What's there to ask? Don't you know it right away?"

"Oh, Prime Minister Guo, please pity Xiaguan! Xiaguan hasn't had a good night's sleep in the past few days..."

Guo Xu said calmly: "Don't think too much, the results will come soon."

He entered the hall, found his place and stood there, looking at his eyes, nose and heart, feeling calm.

When the official who was close to Mr. Zhou saw this, he came up to talk to Mr. Zhou: "What did Guo Xiangke say?"

"No, not a word leaked."

"Look at him like this, he seems to be confident!"

"Isn't it? I'm probably standing in line again."

"I don't know if he will support Prince An or the fourth prince. I heard that he was the one who brought up the incident with the eldest prince. He seemed to be helping Prince An eliminate future troubles."

"The way King Kean's legs look..."

"Maybe he knows something inside."

"Hey, Brother Zhou, then you said we..."

The few people looked at each other with tacit expressions.

"Come, come, ah, the King of Fortune is here!"

Zhang Tan carefully asked Prince Fu to sit down, turned to face the officials and spoke: "Everyone, I think you all know what is going on in the court today. The Holy Lord is ill, and it is urgent to establish the throne, so we can no longer delay it."

The hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, and everyone stared at Zhang Tan eagerly.

Which one is the Li An King or the Fourth Prince?

Zhang Tan continued: "...The Holy Spirit has just summoned me, and the decree has been issued." He looked at King Fu, the two exchanged glances, and raised his voice, "Please give me the decree!"

All the officials knelt down and kowtowed: "Long live my emperor, long live me."

Eunuch Liu came out holding the imperial edict and held it to the two of them.

Zhang Tan asked for instructions: "His Royal Highness Prince Fu?"

Prince Fu waved his hand: "I am just here to bear witness, Prime Minister Zhang can do it himself."

Just to show off, Zhang Tan took the imperial edict, unfolded it and read: "The imperial edict says that the fourth son of the emperor, Jiang Zhao, is appointed as the heir apparent. I admire this."

The emperor is seriously ill, so he doesn't pay so much attention to it. This imperial edict is just one sentence.

After Zhang Tan finished reading, two chamberlains came forward and unfolded it to face the ministers, allowing them to see the seal on it clearly and confirm its authenticity.

This result was beyond the expectations of the officials.

Not to mention the past two years, they watched how the emperor cultivated King An. It was said that King An had a leg injury, and the news that came out was specious. It never said that King An was really lame, which made people think that King An's throne was still secure.

Sure enough, someone stood up and asked: "Xiang Zhang, is this really the will of the Holy One?"

Zhang Tan raised his eyelids and said: "Can the truth be faked? Isn't it true? King Fu has witnessed it."

Seeing King Fu nodding, all the ministers basically believed it.

It’s just that some people are dissatisfied with this result.

The fourth prince is only eleven, and his mother is a low-ranking concubine. If he ascends the throne, wouldn’t Zhang Tan, as prime minister, be able to dominate the world with one hand?

"It's not a matter of suspicion, but it is a matter of national importance, so we have to be cautious. As far as the official knows, the Holy Lord has been ill for several days, fainted several times, and is mentally confused. Making a decision at this time, I am afraid there is a lack of thinking. ”

As soon as these words came out, many people nodded.

The fourth prince cannot be allowed to ascend the throne, otherwise those who cannot deal with Zhang Tan will never be able to get ahead.

Zhang Tan glanced at the ministers with lightning eyes and said coldly: "Are you trying to resist the decree?"

"How can this be called resisting the decree? We all know that the Holy Emperor is ill, and there is no way to deal with government affairs. But Prime Minister Zhang said that the Holy Emperor needs to rest for his illness, and we are not allowed to visit. In the past few days, only Prime Minister Zhang has been in and out of the palace. Who knows if you said something to cause the Holy One to make an inappropriate decision?"

Zhang Tan sneered: "Then what do you want to do?"

"Since the Holy One cannot make a decision, as ministers, we naturally have to share the worries for the King. Once we have made a decision on who to appoint as the heir apparent, it will not be too late to report to the Holy One."

There is no need for Zhang Tan to argue in person. Officials from his side have already come out and reprimanded: "Absurd! There is a holy decree for this, and King Fu is the witness. What is suspicious? You have ulterior motives, and you are threatening your Majesty with public opinion!" ”

"Master Gao, what are you talking about? Are we suspecting your Majesty? Gentleman is magnanimous. I, Liang Yi, will make it clear here that I am suspecting Mr. Zhang Xiang! Since Your Majesty has been ill, have you summoned anyone else? ? Come and go, only Zhang Xiang is alone. This situation makes people suspicious!"

"Then you go in and ask the Holy One now?" The officials on Zhang Tan's side were confident.

Master Liang Yiliang also remained calm: "Is it useful to ask ~IndoMTL.com~ now? It is said that we are hijacking the will of the public. According to me, it is Prime Minister Zhang who is hijacking the will of the Holy One! The Holy One has been ill these days. Who knows what Zhang Xiang said. His Majesty is no longer clear-headed and will inevitably be deceived by others. Otherwise, let’s ask His Royal Highness King Fu, is His Majesty really fully awake? It’s true that His Majesty said word by word, Li Si Is the prince the heir apparent?"

The ministers turned their attention to King Fu.

Zhang Tan sneered in his heart.

What did they think King Fu would say? He Zongzheng is just a show-stopper. He has never said a word to him for decades.

This old guy is very knowledgeable!

But I saw Prince Fu stroking his thinning beard, with a hesitant expression: "This... I am old, blind and deaf, and can't hear clearly. If you think about it carefully, the words of the Crown Prince seem to have been relayed by Prime Minister Zhang."

! ! !

Zhang Tan was surprised.

What does King Fu want to do?
