“太子真是好手段啊！”
                
            

            

            
            
                “无论他这番话是真是假，都不重要。因为镇北侯一定会站在太子这一边。”
                
            

            

            
            
                “没错，什么叫做借势，这就叫做借势！”
                
            

            

            
            
                群臣议论，这一刻，他们才发现周铮今日绝非莽撞，一切都是早有准备。
                
            

            

            
            
                “太子这一次真正的目的，是弱冠之礼！”
                
            

            

            
            
                “一旦弱冠加冕，太子之位，才能真正稳固！”
                
            

            

            
            
                深吸一口气，礼部尚书望着周铮的时候，瞳孔深处罕见地闪烁出来一丝忌惮！
                
            

            

            
            
                前期铺垫这么多，一切都是为了弱冠加冕！
                
            

            

            
            
                因为再过一个月，就是周铮的十八周岁！
                
            

            

            
            
                按照大周王朝习俗，太子十八岁的弱冠之礼会进行加冕！
                
            

            

            
            
                即向天下告示他是未来皇位的第一顺位接班人，上秉承天意，下秉承民意！
                
            

            

            
            
                而周铮故意将北境危急，三十万敌军压境的事情在此时说出来，并且声称这是外公萧穆送给他的弱冠加冕大礼，其中用意，当真高明！
                
            

            

            
            
                群臣不由自主地再度高看了周铮三分，此等心机城府，让他们第一次在周铮的身上感到了一丝恐惧！
                
            

            

            
            
                “荒谬！”
                
            

            

            
            
                “简直一派胡言！”
                
            

            

            
            
                “周铮，镇北侯对朝廷忠心耿耿，你这是要毁了镇北侯的一世英名！”
                
            

            

            
            
                听到弱冠加冕四个字，周帆彻底慌了！
                
            

            

            
            
                一旦加冕，再想废太子，简直难于登天！
                
            

            

            
            
                “别说这只是你一己之言，即便今日镇北侯在此，知晓你亵渎后宫，败德辱行，也必将以大局为重！”
                
            

            

            
            
                恶狠狠望着周铮，周帆不知道为何周铮会突然转性，更不清楚为何周铮能说出今日言论。
                
            

            

            
            
                可不管如何，他都只有一个目的，势要废了周铮太子之位！
                
            

            

            
            
                “陛下，废太子诏书已下，此事若不了了之，皇威何在？”
                
            

            

            
            
                “这些年太子痴症缠身，于治国理政一窍不通，难堪大任。”
                
            

            

            
            
                “陛下今日太子敢斩杀宣旨官，蔑视朝廷，诋毁大臣，不惧圣上，他日不知道会做出什么出格之事！”
                
            

            

            
            
                “臣建议，为社稷本根，废太子，流放外地，驱离朝廷！”
                
            

            

            
            
                “臣附议！”
                
            

            

            
            
                “臣等附议！”
                
            

            

            
            
                这一刻，众朝臣纷纷表态！
                
            

            

            
            
                毕竟，他们支持的，乃是其他几位皇子，如何能让周铮弱冠加冕？
                
            

            

            
            
                周铮望着群臣的反对，望着上方周天的冷漠，心头火起！
                
            

            

            
            
                “本宫之命，岂容尔等肆意操控？！”
                
            

            

            
            
                “口口声声说本宫亵渎后宫，证据在哪里，为何不敢当面对峙？！”
                
            

            

            
            
                “今日要废了本宫，很简单！”
                
            

            

            
            
                “甚至今日杀了本宫，也不是一件难事！”
                
            

            

            
            
                “可，你们谁敢！？”
                
            

            

            
            
                “你们如何面对我皇室祖制？！”
                
            

            

            
            
                “后世史官将如何书写陛下？！你们如何堵得住天下悠悠众口！”
                
            

            

            
            
                “你们谁又敢真的赌我外公在这件事情上会就此作罢！”
                
            

            

            
            
                “记住，陛下有十子，可我外公只有我一个外孙！”
                
            

            

            
            
                这一刻，周铮孑然一身，却声音铿锵，无所顾忌！
                
            

            

            
            
                既然选择了站着死，他有何畏惧！？
                
            

            

            
            
                群臣哑口，朝堂在这一刻安静的连一根针落地的声音都清晰可闻！
                
            

            

            
            
                “父皇若为明君，此刻就证明给天下人看！”
                
            

            

            
            
                “宣淑妃，儿臣要当着满朝文武百官，跟她当面对质！”
                
            

            

            
            
                “若儿臣真有不齿行径，纵有千刀万剐，也绝无怨言！”
                
            

            

            
            
                “否则，儿臣宁死不服！”
                
            

            

            
            
                拳头紧握，周铮近乎声嘶力竭！
                
            

            

            
            
                “好！”
                
            

            

            
            
                “朕就让你输得心服口服！”
                
            

            

            
            
                “传旨，宣淑妃！”
                
            

            

            
            
                ......
