On that day, Zhan Lingtian succeeded to the throne, ascended the throne as king, offered sacrifices to heaven, and declared to the world.
Based on the situation outside the imperial city, there are no unnecessary ceremonies except for the heaven-sacrifice celebration.
In just one day, Zhan Lingtian overthrew the Zhan family dynasty and restored the rule of the imperial family.
He became the only orphan of the Di family, Emperor Wuya, and was no longer a descendant of the Zhan family.
The entire enthronement ceremony was very simple, which clearly showed that Zhan Lingtian was not fighting for the throne, but for the victory of Beimu Kingdom.
The enthronement ceremony was simple, but without any loopholes, and was completed in one day.
Zhan Lingtian canonized Zhan Yuheng as regent, and also eliminated many officials who were not used by him.
Every time a new king succeeds to the throne, these are necessary processes, and no one dares to say anything more.
No one except him and Ye Xuening knew whether Zhan Lingtian named Zhan Yuheng the regent to silence Youyou or for some other purpose.
In the Yuxiao Hall, Zhan Lingtian, who was wearing a dragon robe, was sitting on the main seat. Next to him, Ye Xuening was sitting.
There are also a few close relatives in the palace.
"My mother, the jade seal has never been found. What happened back then?"
Zhan Lingtian looked at Ye Xuening and asked in a deep voice.
Zhan Lingtian has always called Ye Xuening his queen mother. Now that he is the king, it stands to reason that Ye Xuening is still his queen mother, that is, the queen mother, not the empress dowager.
However, no one knows that they are the real mother and son except their own people.
"Emperor Qiwen has also been looking for it for more than ten years. It is true that the jade seal is not in Zhan Yuheng's hands."
Ye Xuening picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea.
"Empress Dowager, tell me, is it possible that the jade seal is in the hands of the Grand Eunuch?
If Emperor Qiwen had found the jade seal back then..." said a eunuch.
"But I have never heard Master say anything about the Jade Seal."
Another eunuch, the grand duke's only disciple, was also in the palace.
Ye Xuening put down the cup in his hand and shook his head: "This possibility is unlikely."
"When Emperor Qiwen succeeded to the throne, I was also present, but the jade seal could not be found at that time."
"I was the queen at that time. Even I don't know where the jade seal is, let alone the then Prince Wen?"
"Because of this matter, Emperor Qiwen tested me many times, and he only stopped in recent years. I am almost certain that the jade seal is not in his hands."
Ye Xuening looked back at Zhan Lingtian and said softly: "Don't worry!"
"Things have reached this point. Even if someone appears with a jade seal now, it won't cause too much trouble."
"Now, the most important thing is to find a way to get rid of Zhan Qingcheng."
Thinking of what happened on the city wall, Ye Xuening frowned slightly.
"Had Long Feiyan not faked his death that day, today's situation would not have been caused. This woman is so cunning!"
Zhan Lingtian closed the letter on the table and raised his eyes to look outside the hall.
"Sure enough, Feng Nu is different. If her people hadn't arrived, we might have driven Zhan Qingcheng to a dead end."
"Thousands of slaves are counted, but the Feng family's fools can actually achieve such achievements in one year."
The eunuch who spoke at the beginning said.
"However, with the emperor's ability, a woman is nothing. Even if Zhan Qingcheng wakes up, she will not be your opponent, the emperor."
"Okay, let's go back."
Zhan Lingtian looked at the people in the hall and waved his hands.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Everyone nodded at the same time, turned and left.
Zhan Lingtian never likes to hear compliments. The eunuch just said something he shouldn't have said.
After everyone left, only Zhan Lingtian, Ye Xuening, and a palace maid were left in the palace.
Zhan Lingtian glanced sideways, and Ye Xuening waved his hand: "Go and wait outside."
"Yes, the Queen Mother."
The palace maid nodded, turned around, and walked out.
Zhan Lingtian looked away from the palace door and looked at Ye Xuening.
"Mother, did any particularly important people leave before my father died?"
Ye Xuening looked back at him and frowned slightly.
Suddenly, she nodded and said, "Yes, before your father died, there was a man who suddenly retired and returned home."
"Who is it?"
Zhan Lingtian raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Qin Huai, to be precise, he is not from your father, he is from Di Dingtian."
Ye Xuening took a deep breath and leaned on the back of the chair.
"I found out his hometown and sent several groups of people there, but I didn't expect that he would have received the news in advance and escaped."
"Qin Huai is alone and has no other family members. My people are still looking for him, but they can't find him at all."
"The queen mother also suspected that he took away the jade seal?"
Zhan Lingtian asked in a deep voice.
Ye Xuening looked at him, Yue Mei frowned slightly.
"Qin Huai has a good relationship with your father, but he left when your father was seriously ill. The matter is indeed suspicious."
"However, after so many years, there is still no news about him. Even the jade seal has never appeared again."
"Why didn't you mention this matter before?"
The breath of Zhan Lingtian's voice was a little heavier.
"It's just suspicion without evidence. It will only distract you."
Ye Xuening calmed down and stood up.
"You don't need to worry about Yuxi. I don't know whether it's true or not when I hear that Lao Jiu wakes up."
"We can't delay things any longer. Giving them time to recharge their troops is not good for us!"
"If Zhan Yuheng doesn't cooperate, I won't be able to use his troops well."
Zhan Lingtian stood up and helped Ye Xuening down the steps.
"The number of Feng Jiu'er's people far exceeds my budget. Most of them are bandits, and their martial arts skills are even better than those of the imperial guards."
"If Zhan Yuheng doesn't cooperate, you can find a hundred ways to get him to cooperate, right?"
Ye Xuening slowly walked up the steps and shook her head.
"Ling Tian, you are the emperor now, so you must be ruthless, otherwise you will end up like your father."
"Mother, you said that my father was poisoned and died. Did you find out who poisoned him?"
Zhan Lingtian asked softly.
"I don't know."
Ye Xuening shook his head.
She came to the hall, looked at the door of the hall, and frowned slightly, with a bit of hatred in her eyes.
Zhan Lingtian didn't ask any more questions and helped her out of Yuxiao Palace.
...A few days later, when Di Ji and Ye Luosha walked into Di Wuya's tent again, Di Wuya and Di Feimu were sitting on the left and right in the spacious tent, reading books.
Yu Jingfeng pushed Di Ji and appeared in the tent together with Ye Luosha and Elder Shi.
Yu Jingfeng stopped and looked at Di Ji beside him: "Old Lord, don't worry! His Royal Highness got out of bed with Miss Jiu'er's permission before he got out of bed to do things."
"These days, it is really thanks to Miss Jiu'er that His Highness the Crown Prince is able to recover so quickly."
"Even Mo Bai admires Miss Jiu'er so much. He also wanted to become his teacher, but he was rejected."
"Old Lord, you also know Mo Bai's temperament. Who else does he truly admire besides His Highness the Crown Prince?"
