"Law? I am the emperor now, and what I say is the law, and you," he glanced down without the slightest emotion, seeing chills in his heart, "No matter how high-sounding your reasons are, they can't cover you. The fact of rebellion, isn't it?"
These people talk about things with the law, but forget that in this era, the imperial power is supreme, he is above the law, as long as Jiang Mo thinks, he can change the law at any time.
He waved his sleeves and sat on the top seat, "Today, here, I have the final say, understand?"
Zuo Xiang's old face was flushed, and he pointed to the top, "You...you..."
He Seeing that Jiang Mo was unmoved, he simply tore his face, and said coldly: "Since the Seventh Prince is stubbornly resisting, don't blame the minister for being cruel!" After finishing speaking, he looked around gloomyly, and finally stayed on Gu Zheng , Seeing his expressionless face, indifferent to everything that happened around him, he smiled.
What's the use of keeping Gu Zheng, he won't be able to win over with the promotion of officials and honors, and he can't win them over. Now all the soldiers in the capital are in his hands.
His eyes focused on the emperor again, and thinking about what would happen next, his eyes gradually became excited. He really wanted to see what kind of expression the Seventh Prince would have on his face after being pulled from the throne.
"Come here."
As soon as the words fell, a group of soldiers in armor rushed into the hall with weapons in their hands. They were divided into two groups. One group surrounded the ministers, and the other group went straight to the dragon chair. Refers to the emperor on the dragon chair.
Prime Minister Zuo ignored the surprised expressions of the courtiers, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said with a tense face, "Your Majesty, please—"
Jiang Mo sat unmoved on the dragon chair, and he handed over to the eager Gu Zheng. With a "don't move" look in his eyes, he turned his head to look at Prime Minister Zuo, and said sarcastically, "What is Prime Minister Zuo doing, planning to be convicted of treason?
" He held the Imperial Army in his hand, and his words became more and more rude.
"Zuoxiang is so courageous." Even though he was pointed at by more than a dozen swords, Jiang Mo did not show any fear, and his eyes slipped around Zuoxiang and General Lin with great interest, "General Lin also wants to fight with General Lin." Together?"
Lin Lang remained silent, acquiescing to Jiang Mo's words in disguise.
"Good! Good! Good!" Jiang Mo said three good words in a row, as if he was in a hurry. He glanced at the ministers below, and those who knew in advance avoided looking at him.
Jiang Mo estimated that compared with the original world, there were only a lot more people participating this time. He didn't know that it was because he left Gu Zheng in the capital to make those people feel uneasy, so he recruited more people.
He will replace these people left by the previous dynasty sooner or later. Dachen has rotted from the inside. If you want it to revive, you must goug out the rotten flesh. Taking this opportunity, you can just clean it up and inject some new blood into the court. .
Jiang Mo lowered his eyes, and he must settle down first when fighting against the outside world. After dealing with these people, the plan for Da Xia can also be put on the agenda.
Jiang Mo didn't speak, and the hall fell silent instantly. Zuo Pang waited for the emperor to succumb to his volition. You pull from that position.
It hasn't been a day or two since they disagreed. Zuo had a great lack of respect for power. He was dissatisfied that the unknown seventh prince ascended the throne, and he was even more dissatisfied that things were out of his control. The emperor was also very dissatisfied with Zuo Xiang. , Zuo Xiang always opposed him and challenged the majesty of the emperor. Secondly, this Zuo Xiang's hand was too long, and the power in his hands was too great.
When the original master first came to power, there were not many of his own people in the court. At that time, most of the court was controlled by the left minister. What the original master wanted to do depended on the left minister's face.
Who can ascend to the throne is simple. The original owner didn't want to be the puppet of Prime Minister Zuo at all, but he couldn't find fault with Prime Minister Zuo on the surface. He could only spend time with Prime Minister Zuo while cultivating manpower. Coincidentally, the left minister knew his true identity, and it is not certain who will win in the end of this game.
Jiang Mo put down his hands and leaned lazily on the back of the chair. The original owner would be hit by the sudden attack of the left minister, but he would not. He abruptly changed the subject, "According to Dachen's law, what crime should a rebel be? ?"
There was someone pointing a sword at him at the bottom, the meaning of this question was self-evident.
Prime Minister Zuo laughed shortly, "Is the Seventh Prince still unwilling to recognize the facts?" He has the entire city's imperial army at hand, so it's not easy to deal with an emperor who is not even sure about the power of the court?
He turned his head and glanced, not surprisingly, all the ministers shrunk their necks. He knew the character of these people best, but they were greedy for life and afraid of death. It was a joke to ask them to save them.
However, there are exceptions.
Gu Zheng stood obliquely behind him, looking at him with a pair of gloomy eyes, which made Zuo Xiang feel flustered, but fortunately Gu Zheng just looked at him and didn't do anything else.
He stabilized his mind, saw that the emperor was sitting on the dragon chair and had no intention of coming down, fearing that something might happen if he dragged on, he said indifferently: "General Lin, since the seventh prince doesn't want to come down by himself, please ask the general to take the seventh prince away This does not belong to his position." In the
court hall, he dared not attack the emperor blatantly, but for some reason, even though he was a young brother, when he met those eyes, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
After listening to Prime Minister Zuo's words, Lin Lang walked towards the steps step by step. It was getting closer, he was getting closer and closer to the throne, Prime Minister Zuo's heart was beating violently, at this moment, he could no longer hide his inner excitement.
"Stop——"
General Lin stopped, and before he could think about who made the sudden noise, he saw the young emperor on the dragon chair standing up, his clothes fluttering in a ruthless arc, and he felt a pain in his heart. Slowly fall backwards.
He lowered his head in disbelief, and there was a long sword stuck in his chest. The hilt was very familiar. It was a sword he had worn all year round. This sword, which had followed its master through life and death for many years, was now stuck in its master's chest.
Needle drop could be heard in the main hall, and the ministers held their breath, witnessing the cruelty of the emperor once again. When the new emperor first came to the throne, he killed many courtiers, but he did not do it himself at that time, and these ministers were not so close to death. It is probably because they have forgotten that the new emperor and the first emperor are no longer killing people. The difference is that he is more capable than the late emperor, and also more...ruthless than the late emperor.
Regardless of whether they participated in the left prime minister's plan or not, they all shut their mouths and lowered their heads in submission.
The smug smile at the corner of Prime Minister Zuo's mouth froze on his face. He watched Lin Lang's body slowly fall down, the steps were stained red with blood, and the young emperor was holding a long sword, pointing at the ground.
Bright red blood beads gathered at the tip of the sword, and fell with a "click", soaking the carpet.
No one expected that he would strike suddenly and directly kill Lin Lang, the commander of the forbidden army. Prime Minister Zuo's mouth twitched slightly, and he remained silent for a while.
"I said before, in Dachen, I have the final say, Prime Minister Zuo, can you plead guilty?" Jiang Mo's tone was still flat, he walked around Lin Lang's body, holding his sword and walking down the steps step by step. Dare to hurt him, and gradually retreat with his movements.
"I don't admit it!" Zuo Xiang's eyes were dark, he looked at the emperor across the imperial army, he saw a pair of flat eyes, which aroused the anger in his heart, he suddenly laughed:
"Ha ha ha, even if So what if you killed General Lin, now the imperial army is all in my hands, since you don't know what is good or bad, why not go down and accompany General Lin!" After speaking, he held the imperial army transfer order and shouted: "Come on, take him down for me !"
There was no movement.
The imperial guards didn't seem to have heard this sentence. They stood still, half of their faces covered by their iron armor, and they couldn't see their expressions clearly.
Jiang Mo passed through the Forbidden Army blocking between Prime Minister Zuo and him without any obstruction. He walked up to Prime Minister Zuo and sighed softly, "Prime Minister Zuo thinks that the Forbidden Army is such an important trump card, I will hold back it without reservation. Should I hand it over to Lin Lang? I am not my father, and I will hand over my life-saving things after being coaxed by you."
"You..."
Jiang Mo was still holding a blood-dripping long sword, Prime Minister Zuo was startled and terrified, he thought he had planned well, but he had been seen through long ago, and the man made the next move calmly, and he felt complacent when he slipped in foolishly , It really became a joke.
Prime Minister Zuo deserved to be the one who could pull the original owner down from the throne in the original world. He knew that today's goal could not be achieved, so he quickly adjusted his plan, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "I know that I have sinned deeply, and I plead guilty, but your majesty I want His Majesty to give an explanation to the people of the world, and all I did was to prevent the world from being deceived."
Jiang Mo raised Zuo Xiang's chin with the blade of his sword, and snorted coldly: "Zuo Xiang Don't talk about other reasons, how can I not know what's on your mind?"
"No, you don't know, you, a brother, how can you deserve such an honorable position——" Zuo Xiang suddenly exerted strength, grasping the sharp blade Pulling forward, Jiang Mo was pulled forward by this force and staggered forward. Regardless of his injury, Prime Minister Zuo reversed the blade and was about to stab Jiang Mo's body.
It was too late to say that, Gu Zheng stepped forward, grabbed Jiang Mo's arm and brought him towards him. At the same time, with his legs, he kicked Xiang Zuo far away, and hit the pillar of the hall with a "bang" sound. On the ground, he vomited a mouthful of blood, and his face turned gray visible to the naked eye.
With a livid face, Gu Zheng hugged Jiang Mo into his arms, and said in a deep voice, "Catch him!"
The Forbidden Army who was motionless just now, like a wooden man, quickly brought Prime Minister Zuo over under General Gu's order.
After Gu Zheng ordered, he lowered his head and asked softly, "Is your Majesty okay?"
Jiang Mo was stuffed in the man's arms, and said in a buzzing voice, "It's okay."
Gu Zheng checked the man worriedly before he was relieved. He stroked the hair of the person in his arms, as long as he was fine. Thinking of the scene that happened just now, Gu Zheng looked at the left minister with murderous eyes, he couldn't imagine, if he was a step late, would his lover Injured by this person?
As long as he thinks that the person he is reluctant to hurt will be hurt by Zuoxiang, Gu Zheng can't suppress the murderous aura in his heart. Jiang Mo knew that the man was frightened, so he patted the man's back and raised his head with difficulty, " I'm fine, you don't have to worry."
Gu Zheng hummed, but he didn't intend to let go. Jiang Mo struggled, but was hugged even tighter, so he let him go.
The two had no scruples in front of the courtiers, but no one dared to say anything at this moment. They lowered their heads deeply, pretending that they couldn't see anything.
