Under the blazing sun, in front of the Meridian Gate, a group of important officials in official robes knelt on the ground.
In the Chen-Xing Empire, the Coral Peak was the first grade, the Flower Coral Peak was the second grade, the Sapphire Peak was the third grade, the Gold Jade Clear Stone Peak was the fourth grade, the Crystal White Peak was the fifth grade, the White Glazed Peak was the sixth grade, the Plain Gold Peak was the seventh grade, the Flower Gold Peak was the eighth grade, and the Flower Gold Peak was the ninth grade.
Kneeling in front of the Meridian Gate were three Rank One officials with coral tops on their heads. They were the Grand Secretary of the Mountain Mist Pavilion and Minister of Justice, Dong Qinglian, the Grand Secretary of the Profound Language Pavilion, and the Defender General, Hongwu. The nine people kneeling behind him were all carved coral tops. These people were either high-ranking officials of various ministries or important officials of the military. Behind them were 19 third-grade officials. It could be said that nearly 40% of the high-ranking officials of the Empire were present. This was something unimaginable.
However, there were hundreds of Rank-4, Rank-5, and Rank-6 officials behind them. Looking at the colorful roof in front of the Meridian Gate, many of the onlookers could not help but exclaim.
These high-ranking officials, who were usually rare, were all kneeling there without moving. None of them spoke or raised their heads because there was only one thought in their hearts, and that was to remonstrate!
Protect the imperial power, destroy the rebels, and bring justice to the Chen-Xing Empire. Although Wu Feng was good, he was just a traitor. Although Wu Feng did not do anything wrong, the throne could not be given to him…
As time passed, many officials came to the Meridian Gate Square and joined the ranks of the dead remonstrants. Among them were Gong Prince Wu Yu, Lu Prince Wu Shengchang, Martial Marquis Wu Ming, and a group of royal relatives. It could be said that other than Wu Feng's father, Nan Wang, and the main remonstrant, Shou Prince Wu Yuan, all the royal relatives had arrived. After arriving, no one spoke. They just silently found their seats and knelt down…
At 3:45 p. m., a palanquin of eight people was carried over from the direction of the Meridian Gate, followed by a group of valiant soldiers. There was no smell of blood on these people, but from their every move, one could tell that these soldiers were elites of the Army who had survived hundreds of battles and crawled out of a pile of corpses. Because they all had a monstrous killing intent, even ordinary people would feel uncomfortable when they saw them.
From the current situation, it was no longer an ordinary death remonstrance. There was a momentum that a mutiny would occur if there was a disagreement. Because as Prince Shou's sedan moved stealthily, the soldiers that were originally guarding the two sides of the street merged into the ranks behind the sedan. Moreover, this group was still growing. By the time they reached the Wu Gate, the number of soldiers behind Prince Shou's sedan had already grown to ten thousand.
As the soldiers walked past, the people who were originally prepared to watch from the side consciously made way for the soldiers to guard…
"Greetings, Prince Shou! Prince Shou, Qiansui, Qiansui, Qiansui!”It was unknown who brought the leader, but all the officials kneeling in front of the Meridian Gate turned around and bowed to the eight-man palanquin behind them. This etiquette was as high as meeting the Emperor.
In fact, Emperor Ziwei's bloodline had such a high status in the Chen-Xing Empire. Back then, Wu Shengyuan and his brothers fought for the throne, but the Ming Ancestor couldn't make up his mind. In the end, the throne was decided by the current King Shou, who was the father of the current King Shou. One could imagine the status of Emperor Ziwei's bloodline in the empire.
"Since everyone is here, let's start! Please inform the Emperor that I, Wu Yuan, have arrived!”Prince Shou walked out of the sedan. Although he was over sixty years old, he still gave off the same feeling as before. Holding the Golden Dragon Mace bestowed by the Divine Ancestor, Wu Yuan strode toward the Meridian Gate.
Back when Wu Qing withdrew from the center of power and left behind the teachings of his ancestors, the Divine Ancestor bestowed the Golden Dragon Jian to Wu Qing's lineage and made them the protector of the country. Any descendant of Wu Qing could use the Golden Dragon Jian to defeat the emperor and eliminate the treacherous officials. This established the supreme status of Prince Shou's family in the Chen-Xing Empire. Of course, the Golden Dragon Mace had never hit a wrong person. Today, Wu Da had taken out the Golden Dragon Mace. It was easy to imagine how serious the situation was and how determined the ministers were. If things were not handled well, not only would Wu Feng not be able to go up, but the Chen-Xing Empire might also fall into a new crisis.
On top of the Imperial City wall, a eunuch dressed in a red robe quickly walked down the city wall when he saw Wu Yuan. In fact, Wu Shengyuan and Wu Feng had already known about this death remonstrance from the beginning. After all, the matter today involved too much, so it was difficult for them not to know.
……
In the Eastern Palace, Wu Feng paced back and forth, but he couldn't think of any way to deal with this matter. After all, this matter was too troublesome. Even Wu Feng didn't expect that the old fart Wu Da would jump out at this time.
On the contrary, Wu Shengyuan was drinking tea leisurely in the Jade Pure Palace. He was holding a white flag in his left hand and facing Zhang Tie leisurely. As a wise ruler, if it weren't for the interference of the Shakya Sect, the Chen-Xing Empire would have been restored to the prosperity of the Divine Ancestor Era. Even though it was suppressed by the Shakya Sect, Wu Shengyuan still had the overall situation under control. Wu Shengyuan only felt that Wu Yuan's move today was too hasty. After all, Wu Shengyuan and Wu Yuan were in cahoots.
……
Not long after Eunuch Li left, Wu Da walked to the Meridian Gate. He held the Golden Dragon Mace in his hands and knelt down. Then, he took out an ancient imperial edict from his robe and placed it under the Golden Dragon Mace. Then, he took out a memorial from his sleeve and began to read it.
"Wu Feng, the fake ruler of the court, was not gentle by nature and was humble. Once upon a time, he was the great-great-grandson of my ancestor. Although he had my blood, he was not my direct relative. His father, the King of the South, violated the court's discipline and framed our court for his own selfishness. In addition, the heart of the snake, the nature of the wolf. Close to evil people, harm loyal people. He killed his sister, slaughtered his brother, killed his queen, and poisoned his anger. God and man hate each other, but heaven and earth do not tolerate each other. Still harboring evil intentions, spying on the emperor. The king's beloved son was imprisoned in a deep prison, and the rebel clan was entrusted with an important task. Whoosh! It's really unfortunate for our dynasty!"
"When my clan was ordered by the Holy Ancestor, they held the Golden Dragon Jian and killed the villains to repay the achievements of my dynasty and restore the discipline of my dynasty!”
Although Wu Da was old, his cultivation was not weak. His recitation could be heard in the 100-mu area of the Meridian Gate Square. All the officials present wept when they heard this. Many people who were affected by the Jingguo coup also knelt down at this moment.
At the Eight Treasures Pavilion, Wu Chen did not move when he heard Prince Shou's remonstrance. He stood silently in front of the guardrail and stared at the changes in the Meridian Gate Square. Wu Chen knew that Wu Feng was not so easy to mess with. If it was easy, this matter would only drag on until today. Now, all Wu Chen needed to do was to remember this scene in his heart and remember these officials who were present.
……
"I wrote this book in fear and trepidation. I kowtowed and kowtowed. I deserve to die. However, I dare not speak nonsense about the laws of our dynasty.”Putting down the remonstrance in his hand, Wu Da and the hundreds of officials present kowtowed three times towards the Jade Pure Palace. The crisp sound of their foreheads falling to the ground echoed in the sky above the Meridian Gate. When they raised their heads, blood covered the faces of the officials present.
"The matter has basically ended here. Military remonstrance is impossible. Wu Feng still has a royal army in his hands. At most, they can delay the abdication. Let's go. If we don't leave now, we might never be able to leave!”At this moment, Wu Chen had already maintained his calm. He did not lose his rationality because of the changes in the Meridian Gate Square. After letting out a long sigh, Wu Chen called for everyone to leave.
"Young Master is right. Wu Feng is powerful, and the best outcome would be King Nan being killed and Prince Nan's mansion being raided. However, it is impossible to pull Wu Feng down. After all, Wu Chen is still the adopted son of the Imperial Consort. However, this matter is really a resounding slap to Wu Feng's face. From now on, we will see how Young Master will use this opportunity to develop himself!”When Ning Zeng first saw the situation in front of the Meridian Gate, he was very excited, but after hearing Wu Chen's words, he immediately understood.
" Dong dong…" Just as Wu Chen was about to leave, a series of knocks came from the door of the private room.
"May I ask if Young Master Wu is here?" Ning Cai 'er opened the door, and a servant dressed in green walked in from the walkway.
"I am. May I ask which family you are from?”Wu Chen didn't avoid the servant who had entered the private room because he had already guessed many things.
"This is my invitation to Old Master Jia. I hope that Young Master will gather at Huangpu Temple in three days.”The servant took out an invitation from his sleeve and handed it to Wu Chen respectfully.
"Go back and tell your master that I will go!”Without even looking at it, Wu Chen kept the invitation. He knew that Prince Shou, Wu Yuan, would definitely come looking for him once this matter was exposed. Who else could the servant be referring to other than Wu Yuan?
