Chapter 167
Long Tian didn't care about the old emperor's dying struggle.
"It doesn't matter. In your eyes, that damn Supreme Pavilion is extremely powerful, but in my heart, I can get rid of you and destroy the Zongrenfu, so I can also kill the Supreme Pavilion."
"You know nothing about my strength. After all, you are still narrow-minded. Don't worry, I will do better than your Xiao family to protect Xiaguo."
"Xiao Jingrui, go down and forgive your father. The person you feel most sorry for in your life is him. He is the one who is loyal to you and unswervingly committed to Xiaguo."
As he said, in the desperate eyes of the old emperor, Long Tian pierced the old emperor's heart with a sword and did not give him a chance to speak.
In a breath, the old emperor closed his eyes unwillingly. The imperial plan and hegemony were in vain. After all, he could not escape the reincarnation of time.
At this time, the system prompt sounded, and one of the two tasks to enter Beijing had been completed, but Long Tian did not rush to deal with it.
Soon, Yuan Gang returned with the imperial edict. Long Tian picked up the jade seal and stamped it. From then on, Qingzhou belonged to Long Tian, which was legitimate.
"No. 3, you stay in the palace to deal with the aftermath. You don't have to take any action next. When the dust settles, you can surrender to the new emperor."
No. 3's position is very important. As long as it is done well, it will be of great help to Long Tian.
Although Long Tian personally dealt with the old emperor at this moment, it is not the time to seize the world of Xia. As for supporting a certain prince and holding the emperor hostage to command the princes, Long Tian has never thought about it.
Now the princes of Xia are no longer mobilized by the royal family. Instead of doing this, it is better to lay a foundation with your own hands.
As for Kyoto, Long Tian believes that with his own arrangements, the situation is stable enough and can be taken at any time.
"Cao Zhengchun, immediately send someone to deliver the imperial edict to Yue Fei and Lu Bu, ordering them to set out immediately to take over Qingzhou. Yue Fei will have full authority to deal with any resistance."
Long Tian is not so naive to completely take over Qingzhou with an imperial edict. This thing is just a name. In the final analysis, it depends on the army in the northern border.
Fortunately, Yue Fei has already prepared a million troops, and with the help of Chen Qingzhi's 100,000 white-robed troops, it is not a big problem to take over Qingzhou.
"The news here cannot be concealed. The prince and others will know it soon. Immediately order Zhou Zhiruo and others to take the seventh princess away and return to the northern border secretly. Cao Zhengchun, make sure their whereabouts are hidden and don't cause any trouble."
People must be taken away too. Maybe they will be useful in the future. Besides, now the whole world knows that the seventh princess Xiao Qingya is his fiancée. If something happens to her, Long Tian will lose face.
"Inform Bai Qi that the Sixth Prince can leave Kyoto. We don't have to participate in the chaos in Kyoto."
After all the preparations, it's time to act now.
"Your Highness, Murong Zijin, and the whereabouts of several other princes are under our surveillance. Should we keep them?"
Cao Zhengchun suddenly proposed, which also shows the ability of Shadow at this moment.
"No, killing a few juniors will not affect the overall situation, and will make enemies in advance and be targeted by all parties."
Long Tian decided after thinking for a moment.
"By the way, there is no need to keep those second-generations controlled by the old emperor. As long as these people die, even if the new emperor ascends the throne, there will be endless troubles and powerless to save the situation."
Long Tian thought of those people and used their death to add some hatred to the royal family.
When Long Tian had made all the arrangements, Song Que and others came back.
"Your Highness, everything has been handled."
Long Tian did not ask in detail, knowing their abilities. Now the foundation power of Xia Kingdom, the Zongrenfu, no longer exists.
"Okay, let's get ready to leave. We won't get involved in the chaos that follows."
The revenge was avenged, the matter was over, and the rest had nothing to do with Long Tian, who was also ready to return to the northern border.
This day was an unforgettable day for the people of Xia.
The seven princesses' selection of their husbands was a grand event, and the people also watched the excitement. However, before the excitement was over, a great chaos broke out in Kyoto.
All the ministers in the court, as long as they were capable, each mansion had an army guarding it. Others also knew that something had happened and hid in their homes and dared not go out.
The Prince's Mansion.
"Your Highness, the Queen has sent a message that a shocking change has occurred in the palace and His Majesty has passed away. Please take action immediately, Your Highness."
The prince was still enjoying himself, and at this time, he could not care about anything else. He immediately summoned his confidants to start the action.
"Quickly notify the Prime Minister to go to the palace."
Prime Minister Yan Tianyu is the strongest supporter of the prince.
When the emperor dies, he, the crown prince, can take over the throne, but the situation is unclear now, and he still needs his supporters to help. At the same time, he must also make corresponding preparations.
"NoticeThe generals in the army are ready to deal with any unexpected situations. "
Crown Prince Xiao Yuanqing looked sad on the surface, but he was actually very happy in his heart. He had waited for so long and finally waited for the day when he could rule the world.
At the same time, the second prince Xiao Yuanjun also received news from the palace.
"Immediately send someone to notify the Grand Tutor and the ministers in the court to go to the palace together. At this moment, there must be witnesses."
"Order the army to prepare for battle, bring the people with you, and follow me to the palace. "
Although the incident happened suddenly, the two had been preparing for this day for several years, so they were not caught off guard.
The armies in Kyoto took action under the orders of their respective masters.
Even the garrisons outside Kyoto received orders and made their own preparations.
As for those neutral armies, such as the army controlled by Taiwei Su Jingshan, they were strictly ordered to stay behind, and no one was allowed to leave at will. This clearly showed that they would not participate in the subsequent fight for the throne.
In the palace, Yuan Gang, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guard, remained neutral. He turned a blind eye to the actions of the princes and ministers who brought people into the palace. Add to the obstruction.
Yuan Gang's behavior did not surprise everyone. The position of the commander-in-chief of the imperial guards was like this. It did not favor anyone. As long as the new emperor ascended the throne, the imperial guards would be loyal to the new emperor.
Soon, many people gathered in the hall where the court meeting was held. Almost all the important ministers in Kyoto showed up.
Whether it was the crown prince, the second prince, or the ministers, they did not come alone. They were accompanied by masters to deal with unexpected situations.
"Everyone, your majesty was attacked and died suddenly. I am sad in my heart. However, the country cannot be without a master for a day. I announce that the crown prince will immediately succeed to the throne and preside over the government."
The queen who had lived in the deep palace for a long time also showed up and announced her decision.
This is also a normal thing. In this case, the crown prince should succeed to the throne. It is reasonable, reasonable, legal and compliant.
Everyone has no objection to this. Whoever becomes the emperor will not affect their status.
However, a discordant voice sounded.
"Wait a minute, I'm afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not qualified to inherit the throne of the Xia Kingdom. "
Second Prince Xiao Yuanjun stood up surrounded by his supporters.
