Chapter 194 Resolution of Imperial Power

"Who are you and what do you want to do!" Lou Xun shouted, "Don't come any closer. Don't come over. Do you hear me!"

Lang Dingyuan ignored it. He stared at Lou Xun fiercely like an awl and continued to move step by step. Although he did not mean to pull out his sword, his left and right had pressed his hands on the hilt and were ready to get out of the sheath at any time.

"Bold thief, how dare you offend me? Come on, take down this thief to me!" Lou Xun didn't know what it was, and suddenly remembered that he was the emperor.

But at this time, no one regards him as the emperor. In addition to the guards who are wary of him, the palace people, housers and handymen in the palace, they have been running and hiding for a long time. Even if he is particularly bold and curious, he only stands far away outside the hall to listen to the news and watch the development of the situation, so Lou Xun's shouts, only for four Outside Zhou's cold eyes, there was not even a person who answered.

"That's enough. I haven't made enough noise for you all night!" Lang Dingyuan suddenly shouted coldly, just like an adult scolding his naughty child. He rushed forward and waved his hand and slapped Lou Xun fiercely. Lou Xun was stunned in amazement. His fingers involuntarily loosened. The candlestick in his hand then loosened and fell to the ground and rolled for a while.

Not to mention Lou Xun, everyone present was almost stunned by Lang Dingyuan's move. Before Lou Xun could react, Lang Dingyuan's second slap in the face slapped again, "Look, are you still making trouble?" Begging for beating, isn't it? If you make trouble again, I will throw you in the toilet and let you be smoked to death!"

Lou Xun's eyes were drawn to Venus. He looked at Lang Dingyuan with fear, slowly reached out his hand to cover his painful cheeks, and muttered something in his mouth. At this time, everyone found that the madness in Lou Xun's eyes had disappeared, and his red eyes were gradually returning to normal.

"What are you talking about!" Lang Dingyuan raised his hand and said, "Thustle, do you dare to make trouble again?"

Lou Xun's nose twitched, as if he was about to cry, and his body was half short. He dodged Lang Dingyuan's slap and shook his head repeatedly.

Lang Dingyuan stared at Lou Xun and did not hit the third palm, but said, "Don't make trouble. Just go change clothes and shoes with the elder brother. After cleaning up, the elder brother will take you to have breakfast. Do you hear me!"

Lou Xun's head nodded like chicken rice. Lang Dingyuan gave a sign to the general behind him. One of them came forward, clenched Lou Xun's collar and took him and left. "Go quickly, don't linger!"

Seeing that Lou Xun really followed the general obediently, everyone was relieved. The garrison commander lost the weapons in his hand and knelt down to Lang Dingyuan and said, "General, general, as long as the general can let go of the little ones's lives, the little ones will follow the general in the future!"

Lang Dingyuan looked at him coldly, "Lou Xun has done a lot of evil, and you also follow him to play for the tiger. Can I let you go? It's not my final say!"

"Well, who has the final say?" The commander of the guard asked in surprise.

Lang Dingyuan took a deep breath, straightened his body with his hands behind his back, and looked at the ups and downs of the eaves and beams. His eyes became deep and meaningful, "The capable are in place!" He said.

After a moment of pause, Lang Dingyuan not only seemed to talk to himself, but also as if he was the commander of the garrier, "However, we must first solve the traitors of the Changshui Camp and other battalions!" Would you like to make contributions to your sins?

"Small nature, the small people are willing to follow the general to make contributions!" The guard commander quickly nodded and bowed to flattery.

"Go and find out the emperor's jade seal. Lang wants to pretend to be an imperial edict. Can he eliminate the great disaster in the capital? But he is counting on this imperial edict!" Lang Dingyuan looked solemn and waved to the guard commander, "Go! Before the news of the emperor's madness is known!"

A week later, Lang Dingyuan's house.

"The parliament is about to start, but why don't you see the reply from the king of Wu?" Zhuo Ruitong looked worriedly at the list handed to him by Lang Dingyuan.

"With the nature of the King of Wu, it is reasonable for him to refuse to participate, but anyway, we have been informed that if he doesn't come, it is equivalent to automatically giving up the throne. Isn't it easier to save everyone's energy and disenctiate everyone's time!" Lang Dingyuan said lightly, and in his eyebrows, he seemed to disapprove of Zhuo Ruitong's worries.

"But the absence of the King of Wu will make this parliament fall. Imagine that even the most powerful prince does not participate. Can the so-called parliament that promotes the succession of the emperor be regarded as formal? Can the agreed result be recognized by the world?" Zhuo Ruitong is not like Lang Dingyuan. What he hopes for is not only a false throne, but also whether he can get the hearts of the world.

"The prince probably forgot who participated in the parliament. It was the old minister who worked hard to contact him and persuaded them to come out again to assist the prince's important ministers. Several of them had resigned and returned home during the serious illness of Emperor Suwu, so they have saved their lives to this day. There are also Empress Dowager Li. The officials who resigned were even more coerced by Lou Xun and had to make a confession in the court. Now they are willing to fight against the prince. Which of them is not famous? Isn't the result jointly recommended by them more legitimate than Lou Xun's usurpation of the dynasty? The minister is the water that carries the boat. So much water is willing to carry the prince in a boat. Wouldn't it show that the prince is the most famous emperor in everyone's mind?

"But..." Zhuo Ruitong is still worried.

Lang Dingyuan stretched out his hand to stop Zhuo Ruitong, "You don't have to worry too much. In all aspects, the old minister has been well thought about the prince. If the old minister is good, the king of Wu will definitely come!"

"Why? Why is General Lang so confident? Zhuo Ruitong asked in surprise.

"Because the King of Wu wants to be recognized by everyone more than the prince, especially the identity of the courtiers, otherwise, he will become a rebel!" Lang Dingyuan said righteously word by word.

A few days later, this day was the time when the parliament was about to be officially convened. Seeing that the time was approaching, Zhuo Ruitong was still in the room, turning around anxiously, and Shi Feng pushed the door and entered, "Your Majesty, I really can't delay any longer. Let's go quickly!" The expression on Shi Feng's face was more anxious than that of Zhuo Ruitong, because this was the fourth time he had asked the prince to leave.

"Huanxuan, why hasn't Huanxuan come back yet!" Zhuo Ruitong shouted to Shi Feng in a bad manner, "Let you go out to find someone. You just come to urge me to do something. At such a critical moment, if you can't see the linger, can I go to the parliament at ease?"

"General Zhou has sent people everywhere to look for it!" Shi Feng explained in great embarrassment, "But Madam hasn't seen anyone since last night. The capital is so big. For a while, even if General Zhou and others try their best, it doesn't mean that they can be found!"

"Do you try your best? What's the use of a cannon alone!" Zhuo Ruitong punched the armrest of the seat angrily. "You said, where is your wife usually going? You all know how to send one or two to follow up. Why were you careless yesterday? I don't care. Anyway, I can't see Huanling. I won't go anywhere!"

"Yesterday, Mrs. received a message that someone anonymously told his wife that the eldest grandson and his wife were secretly buried. The wife was in a hurry to worship. The last general was also going to follow him, but the wife said that it was a big deal on the prince's side, and she must not make any mistakes. She had to let the general stay and help the prince, and also said that Now the capital is calm. She goes back as soon as she is familiar with it. What Mrs. Xuns said is also reasonable, so she doesn't insist on following the lady. The prince, the last general is also regretful. But in any case, can't we go to the parliament first? Before leaving, my wife repeatedly told me that even if the sky falls, we can still take the priority of the parliament. If the prince gives up the excellent opportunity, it will be difficult to control the development of the situation in the future!"

Shi Feng frowned sadly and then advised, "Lang Dingyuan sent people to send letters, and the courtiers have arrived one after another. If the prince does not go, it is equivalent to giving up the throne like the king of Wu. On that day, won't the world continue to fall into an endless melee? At least we have to go to the scene of walking. My lord, madam, she hasn't returned all night. It may not be that something has happened. Maybe she met some acquaintances and delayed? If the lady comes back and knows that the prince has given up the opportunity, she doesn't know how angry she will be. For the sake of the lady, for the common wishes of the lady and us, the prince, the last general begged you, let's start?"

"Alas! I, why do I have an ominous premonition!" Zhuo Ruitong beat his head hard a few times. In all kinds of helplessness, he was persuaded and dragged out of the room by Shi Feng and helped him to drive.

The election of the new emperor is a major event in the court, so the seat of the parliament is located in the side hall of the palace. When Zhuo Ruitong arrived, the courtiers had been waiting for a long time. Zhuo Ruitong's face was very ugly, but he had to reluctantly socialize with the ministers. Lang Dingyuan found that something was wrong with Zhuo Ruitong, but it was not easy to ask in front of everyone, so he had to He explained to the ministers, "King Wei is worried about national affairs and overworked. He hasn't been able to sleep well and have a good meal for a few days, so he looks a little haggard. I hope you can understand. Everyone knows that King Wei left Beijing at the age of 16 and spent nearly five years in the bitter cold land. During this period, he saw the suffering of the people and the court. The drawbacks have a deep understanding of the various situations in the government and the opposition. Therefore, before the parliament, I summarized some governance experience and drafted the reform plan. After reading it, I deeply admired it. I have ordered people to copy several copies, which can be sent to you for a moment. You are all important ministers who have been officials for many years. I believe. As long as you have carefully read the edict of King Wei, who should be the king of a country, who can bear the heavy responsibility of the king, and make the four seas submit, and you will be able to make your wisest decision!"

After saying that, Lang Dingyuan waved his hand, and immediately a few people came up and distributed the copied administrative outline to the ministers one by one. Taking advantage of this time, Lang Dingyuan went to Zhuo Ruitong and asked softly, "Your Majesty, are you all right? There is no turning back. Don't come to the battle. Change your mind, so that the old minister can't come to Taiwan!"

Zhuo Ruitong nodded silently, but he still couldn't lift his spirit.
