Faced with the steel knife placed behind his neck, the originally unruly third prince became knowledgeable and unstoppable.
After some inquiries, I learned that Master Sun claimed to be from the Five Stones Society. Seeing that the third prince was quite destined to be an immortal, he planned to accept the third prince as his disciple and help him embark on the path to immortality. The only thing Master Sun wanted from the third prince was that he Want to fight for the throne and become the emperor.
"Let the third prince become the emperor? It seems that there is something that the Five Stones Association needs in the Daqian Dynasty, and it needs the emperor's authority to help."
Hearing what the third prince said, Zhang Tuohai had a guess in his mind.
"It seems that the Five Stones Guild is also eyeing the throne and is a secret enemy. We must find a way to get rid of the Five Stones Guild. At least we can't let them cause trouble in a short time."
Zhang Tuohai has a plan in mind.
"Then do you know the location of this Five Stones Club?"
Zhang Tuohai asked.
"Master Sun has said before that the headquarters of the Five Stones Society is located in Nanjun, but he did not say the specific location."
The third prince thought for a while and said.
"Nanjun?"
Zhang Tuohai wrote down the place name.
After asking a few more questions, he had the third prince imprisoned in the clan mansion.
"What to do now?"
Li Qingyuan asked Zhang Tuohai.
"Ascend to the throne first and cook the raw rice into cooked rice."
Zhang Tuohai took one look at the majestic palace, and he was too lazy to wait any longer.
Now that we have reached this point, there is no need to hold back anymore. The right way is to directly inherit the throne and exercise power.
"It's going to be morning court time soon. If you ascend the throne now, will you be in a hurry?"
Li Qingyuan looked at the time and felt worried.
"What we want is this time, to ascend the throne directly in the morning without giving them time to react."
Zhang Tuohai said.
"Then what if someone objects?" Li Qingyuan asked.
"Then kill." Zhang Tuohai said with a sneer.
"What if everyone opposes it? Should all officials be killed?"
Li Qingyuan is worried.
"So what if we kill them all?" Zhang Tuohai disdainfully said, "The whole Daqian is so big that there is no shortage of people who want to be officials. If this group is not satisfied, we will kill them all. If we replace them with the next group, we can always get those who are satisfied. ”
After Zhang Tuohai finished speaking, he said to the many guards and forbidden troops below: "Take over the city defense, clean up the corpses, and prepare for the morning court!"
"Yes!"
The guards and imperial guards move very quickly.
The corpses were dragged away and the blood stains were washed away. Except for the faint smell of blood in the air, it seemed as if everything that had just happened had never existed.
The bells and drums on the Bell and Drum Towers rang together, and the sound resounded throughout the capital.
Li Qingyuan sat on the dragon chair and touched the gold armrest: "Is this the throne? It doesn't seem that comfortable to sit on."
"It's really uncomfortable. Sitting here, the courtiers have to be on guard, the harem has to be on guard, the attendants have to be on guard, and the family has to be on guard. I'm a loner. As a result, I have to deal with the whole world's mess, and I have to be careful all the time.
Assassination is the hardest of all, and I don’t know why so many people fight for it."
Zhang Tuohai said.
"Yeah, why?"
There was a trace of confusion on Li Qingyuan's face.
This is a sense of emptiness without a goal after many years of long-cherished dreams have been fulfilled.
The sound of footsteps sounded below the main hall, which was the sound of courtiers going up to the hall.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Li Qingyuan sat up straight unconsciously.
Soon two rows of courtiers arrived at the main hall.
When the courtiers saw Li Qingyuan sitting on the dragon throne, they couldn't help but be surprised.
The princelings are naturally happy and encouraged.
When the prince ascends the throne, they become the ministers of the palace. Not to mention the generous rewards, promotion and promotion are certain.
What they regret most is that they didn't receive the news yesterday. Otherwise, they don't even have to do anything else. As long as they stand next to the prince, they will have the power of following the dragon. Even if they just become a mascot, they can get three levels in a row.
As for those who are not princelings, they are a little confused.
Some of them are from the second prince's lineage, and some are from Prime Minister Cao Gou's lineage. None of these people want the prince to ascend the throne.
In particular, Prime Minister Cao Gou's lineage has always been aiming to overthrow the prince. Although they have not stated it publicly, their attitudes have been expressed in various overt and covert actions.
Once the prince really ascends the throne, the consequences can be imagined.
Thinking of the imminent revenge and liquidation, these people felt chills behind their backs.
They all want to find the leader of their lineage, Prime Minister Cao Gou.
But Cao Gou's position was empty.
"Why didn't Cao Gou come?"
A hint of gloom arose in the hearts of these people.
"The new emperor has ascended the throne, why don't you worship him?"
Zhang Tuohai, who was standing next to Li Qingyuan, looked at the people below and said coldly.
Hearing Zhang Tuohai's words, all the princeling ministers fell to their knees.
"I will see you, Your Majesty!"
Zhang Tuohai glanced at it and saw that half of the people were kneeling. He nodded secretly in his heart. The prince Li Qingyuan did a fairly good job. He had won over at least half of the officials. At least he didn't have to worry about no one using him in a short period of time.
Seeing the picture below, Li Qingyuan felt half relieved, feeling that he had done a good job in the past few years.
Most of the officials she won over expressed their loyalty at this critical time.
Seeing this scene in the main hall, the second prince and people of the prime minister's lineage couldn't sit still.
They are sure that if there is no indication, the purge will come soon. For the sake of their own future, these people decided to stand up.
Several leading figures looked at each other, and Jin Wang Li Chunlai was the first to stand up.
"Prince, where is my eldest brother? Is there an edict to pass the throne? If not, I will not recognize you as the emperor."
"The late emperor was killed by demons from outside the territory and has passed away. He will not be able to leave behind the edict of passing the throne in the future. However, according to the laws of Daqian, when the late emperor dies and there is no new decree left, the prince will naturally succeed to the throne. You open your mouth and think Deny Your Majesty, why, do you think you are greater than the law of Daqian set by Taizu?"
Zhang Tuohai saw that Li Qingyuan didn't know how to answer, so he immediately took over the conversation.
"Who are you? What qualifications do you have to talk to me? Do you know who Gu is?" Jin Wang Li Chunlai gave Zhang Tuohai a cold look, his eyes full of disdain.
"I am your Majesty's newly appointed Imperial Master, so I am naturally qualified to stand here." Zhang Tuohai said with a smile, "As for the King of Jin, it is hard to say whether he will be able to stand in the future."
Zhang Tuohai was too lazy to argue with the King of Jin and looked at the many courtiers below: "I'll give you one more chance. Those who are willing to obey the new emperor, kneel down and give you ten breaths. Ten, nine, eight..."
Hearing Zhang Tuohai's voice, many of the courtiers below were startled. This was different from the way they used to fight in court, and they couldn't adapt to it for a while.
But Zhang Tuohai’s voice never stopped.
"Seven, six, five..."
Hearing that the remaining time was getting shorter and shorter, several timid courtiers knelt down.
Some people got kicked and stood up again.
Some people gritted their teeth and knelt, refusing to get up.
Zhang Tuohai watched the actions of the people below and did not interfere, just counting on his own.
When King Jin saw Zhang Tuohai like this, he couldn't help but get angry: "What are you doing? But you don't care about Gu? Shut up!"
"Three, two, one! Time's up, where are the guards?"
Zhang Tuohai asked coldly.
"My subordinates are here!"
A leader of the Imperial Guard immediately knelt down at the foot of the steps.
"Those who are still standing among the courtiers will be dragged out and beheaded!"
