Daqin: Assist Zulong at the beginning and become a public enemy

Chapter 616
Chapter 642
Three bells rang in the morning, and the closed palace gate was slowly opened, and groups of Qin courtiers walked in along the dragon road.

Today is another five-day court meeting. Since Yingzheng handed over part of the power to Ying Gang, the meeting has returned to normal.

The lively scene in the past also seemed a little dull.

There were whispers in the crowd, some talked loudly, some closed their eyes and meditated, and more fell into silence. Everyone had their own plans, and everyone gathered together to form a strange picture.

While everyone was waiting, Zheng Lun's figure appeared in front of the courtiers.

"Your Majesty is unwell. The morning court has been postponed for half an hour. All ministers, please wait here."

After all, Zheng Lun walked away.

All the courtiers suddenly fell into consternation.

Since Yingzheng succeeded to the throne for nearly 40 years, the early dynasty has almost never been postponed.

Because of this, a thought is formed in everyone's mind.

Yingzheng is a man of iron, an existence that will never get tired.

But now they just remembered one thing, His Majesty is not a young man, he is also an old man over fifty years old.

Meng Tian, ​​the head of the ministers, frowned slightly, and Meng Yi, who was on the side, looked at his elder brother and asked in a low voice: "Brother, if the crown prince is not here, it will be fine if His Majesty is not in serious trouble. If there are any troubles, I am afraid that Qin Jiangshan..."

Meng Tian didn't speak, his tiger eyes stared straight ahead at the Zhangtai Palace not far ahead, turned around to look at the many courtiers and said: "Everyone wait here, I'll go and visit."

After finishing speaking, Meng Tian strode forward.

Without Meng Tian's guard, many courtiers who were already a little absent-minded suddenly exploded.

Especially when it was reported some time ago that the prince Ying Gang had happened, and now that Ying Zheng had happened again, the courtiers who were already panicked were thinking wildly.

The people from Li You's family decisively sensed something was wrong.

After passing each other's eyes, they stopped talking.

Meng Tian strode towards Zhangtai Palace, the soldiers guarding the gate bravely stepped forward to stop him.

"My lord, His Majesty has ordered that no one be summoned."

"Including me?" Meng Tian's pair of tiger eyes glanced over the two soldiers and asked calmly.

These two soldiers were originally the elite of the Nine Plains Army. Although they had left the Nine Plains Army for a long time, they still had a kind of respect for the Nine Plains Army and Meng Tian from the bottom of their hearts.

Seeing Meng Tian now, even though they are shouldering heavy responsibilities, they still feel close to each other.

"My lord, should I go in and ask?"

Meng Tian nodded.

A guard quickly walked into the hall.

Meng Tian hung his hands on his chest, pacing back and forth outside the hall.

After a while, the soldier just walked back quickly.

"Your Majesty, please."

Meng Tian nodded, tidied up his clothes, and strode in.

As soon as he walked in, a strong smell of medicine came out.Meng Tian frowned, bravely walked through the main hall, and came to the door of the side hall.

"Your Majesty, my minister Meng Tian is begging to see you."

There was silence for a moment, and then Ying Zheng's voice came out.

"Come in... come in."

Meng Tian walked in, all the windows around were sealed, the flickering candles still couldn't illuminate the whole hall, the whole room looked extraordinarily weird.

Apart from coughing from time to time, there was no movement in the house.

Meng Tian quickly walked a few steps and came to the edge of Longta, he was startled in his heart.

Is this old man in front of me really the emperor Yingzheng of the empire?

Meng Tian couldn't believe it.

You must know that he met Ying Zheng a few days ago, and Ying Zheng was not like this at that time.

Could it be that he really had some serious illness, and his body was completely broken in just a few days.

"Your Majesty, are you?"

Ying Zheng stretched out a hand to look at Meng Tian in front of him and said, "It's okay, I'm just having a small problem."

Meng Tian's eyes suddenly became moist.

Yingzheng is like Qin State's pinnacle of calming the sea. As long as he does not have any problems, Qin State will not be overthrown even if there are any major events.

If something major happened to him, there would be no guarantee that there would be no trouble in Qin.

Especially now that there is a problem that Ying Gang's life is not long, Qin's future road will be even more difficult.

"Your Majesty, what a small problem you have! You have to take care of your body, Daqin cannot live without you!"

A smile appeared on Ying Zheng's tired face, and he nodded.

Panting heavily, he said after a while: "I have something to discuss with you."

"Please order, Your Majesty."

Although Meng Tian has been in the imperial court for a long time, he still has a strong martial spirit, and his speech and actions are all in the posture of a warrior.

"I plan to canonize Hu Hai as king."

Just nine words are no less than a bolt from the blue.

Qin State has never canonized a king for hundreds of years since the beginning of King Huiwen. Even if Ying Zheng ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, Qin State has not returned to the old way of Zhou Tianzi.

At the beginning, the veteran minister Wang Wan was driven away by Yingzheng because he supported the enfeoffment system and ran counter to Yingzheng's idea of ​​county system.

Now Ying Zheng suddenly made such an arrangement, which made Meng Tian feel unbelievable.

But soon he understood another reason.

Yingzheng's arrangement was mainly for the sake of Prince Qin's free time.

Ying Gang is indeed the most suitable heir of the Qin State, but unfortunately, he sacrificed too much for the Qin State, even costing his own life.

In the past few months, Meng Tian also felt that something was wrong.

Many fringe people who had been away from the government for a long time became active again. As the head of the courtiers, the actions of these villains naturally couldn't hide him.

But Meng Tian could only watch with cold eyes.

Because he knew very well that Qin had no choice now.

Many princes are mediocre, and the only one who can be of great use is Hu Hai.

If Hu Hai is not used, why should he still use Fusu who can kill his father?
"Your Majesty only intends to seal him alone, or all the princes?"

"Of course only one person is sealed."

Meng Tian suddenly realized.

After all, Ying Gang is still there, and it is impossible for Ying Zheng to take the act of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, and there is no deputy to seal the position of the prince.

The canonization of Hu Hai as king was a compromise method, so that everyone could understand that Hu Hai was going to prepare for succession to the throne next.

"The minister believes that this is feasible."

Hearing what Meng Tian said, Ying Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, and took this opportunity to arrange again: "Qing grew up with me, and we worked together to pacify the six countries. It can be said that among the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, I trust you the most." It is Qing. After a hundred years, I hope that Qing can continue to assist the king of future generations. Hu Hai is still young, and I am not at ease. It is also a helpless move to make him king this time. In order to be safe, I plan to let Qing be his king. Xiangguo, I wonder if you are willing?"

"What? Your Majesty, this..."

Ying Zheng didn't give Meng Tian a chance to repent and quickly explained: "Qing, don't refuse in a hurry. I believe in Qing's ability, and I hope Qing can take up this responsibility."

Meng Tian stared at the face in front of him, and finally accepted the appointment helplessly.
