I don't know if it was a coincidence, Qin Sheng also walked in from outside the ancestral hall, seeing Qin Xiang was also slightly taken aback, the two of them opened their mouths almost at the same time.
"Why don't you..."
"Ha... You said." The two spoke in unison again.
"Oh, I just want to come to worship for no reason, and I always feel uneasy in my heart." Qin Xiang curled her lips. She doesn't believe in gods and Buddhas, but now she feels a little uneasy in her heart.
Qin Sheng looked at her silently and didn't speak again, but the meaning was already obvious.

next day
In the imperial city of the Tiansheng Dynasty, all the gates were tightly closed, and an enthronement ceremony was being held, but the people in the imperial city were not at all happy. The emperor died suddenly, and the third prince suddenly succeeded to the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. And just today, There are two heads hanging on the city wall, one is the head of Old General Qin, and the other is the head of General Zhongwu. The people in the imperial city are in a state of panic. They cannot go out of the city, and no pedestrians are allowed on the streets. This is what the soldiers warned them just now.
At this time, there was no one in the Prince Regent's Mansion. Just last night, before entering the palace, General Qin specially sent someone to the Prince Regent's Mansion, and secretly sent the wind steward and others out of the imperial city overnight. He led some of the hidden guards in the mansion to rescue him in the palace, and it was at that time that Feng Guanjia and others took advantage of the chaos to leave the imperial city.
At this time the sky was just getting bright.
Wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, Mo Wenli boarded the sedan chair that had been waiting for a long time, a group of soldiers cleared the way ahead, and set off for the palace hall from the Chengwang Mansion. In just a few miles, it was an earth-shaking change for the entire dynasty.
In the main hall of the imperial palace, officials lined up on both sides of the hall early on.
The only difference was that apart from the ministers and soldiers in the hall, everyone was frightened, for fear that there would be one more of them among the ministers who were tied up.
The left and right prime ministers are still divided into two sides, but everyone knows that prime minister Yun has chosen the right person, and he will be on the rise in the future. On the other hand, prime minister Fang, I am afraid that the future will not be easy.
The sun finally rose slowly from the horizon, but somehow the sky was always cloudy...
In the palace, the bells and drums rang together, and the eunuch serving Mo Jinyu walked up to the steps of the main hall with small steps, holding a bright yellow imperial decree in his hand, and the eunuch standing in the main hall said loudly: "The emperor is here."
Wearing a yellow dragon robe, Mo Wenli walked slowly under the eyes of everyone.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live." Seeing Mo Wenli coming in, those who didn't want to die quickly knelt down and shouted. The matter is a foregone conclusion. If you don't show your loyalty now, there is a high probability that you will become those few who were knifed by the guards. A person who hangs his neck and presses the ground to kneel forcibly.
The person who was pushed down naturally wouldn't shout, so the voice of shouting turned out to be unusually neat.
Mo Wenli was obviously satisfied with this, but he didn't ask them to get up, sitting on the large dragon chair, raised his hand and gently stroked the huge golden dragon head on the chair, feeling very comfortable.
I finally waited until today, Mo Jinyao, I will definitely kill you!
Mo Wenli was immersed in the pleasure of self-satisfaction, no one in the whole hall spoke, those who were tied up wanted to speak, but they were blocked.
After a long time, Mo Wenli seemed to have enjoyed enough, raised his head and said, "All loves, please be flat!"
When everyone stood up, Mo Wenli winked at the eunuch beside him, and the eunuch immediately understood.
Holding the bright yellow imperial decree in both hands, he walked slowly to the bottom of the main hall, unfolded it gently, and read aloud: "Follow the heavens, the emperor's decree said: In this year when I am a weak crown, I will inherit the destiny and practice the kingdom for the first time." .Being enthroned as the emperor, I will bless me with the sage of heaven. Therefore, from today onwards, I should respectfully reflect on myself, be diligent and self-disciplined, respect the heaven and the earth and feed ghosts and gods, worry about the community and protect the people. I pray for my great Ming and eternal prosperity."
At first glance, this imperial decree is just a polite remark, it's just a formality.
When the eunuch came back with small steps, Mo Wenli said: "Father was murdered by a traitor. Fortunately, I rescued him in time, so that the villain did not succeed. Now Father is passing on the throne to me. I will join hands with all my lovers to eradicate the treacherous and villainous people, and protect my heavenly kingdom forever."
Mo Wenli didn't blush at all when he said this, no one knows how His Majesty died, but who would dare to say that the palace is full of Mo Wenli's people, and no one wants their heads to fall.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Sitting on the throne, Mo Wenli squinted his eyes slightly. At this moment, he didn't look like he would be cowardly when he saw Mo Jinyao.
He waved at the guards, and the guards took orders and let go of those ministers who swore to die.
Those people still glared at him.
"Several, you are the elders of our dynasty. I will give you a chance now, either to assist me wholeheartedly, or, like the two people on the city wall, with different heads!"
"Fuck, what are you! You want us to assist you, you are dreaming!"
Dr. Liu cursed loudly, trembling all over, obviously very angry.
Mo Wenli's expression turned cold, "Drag it out, cut it off."
"Your Majesty..." Some people couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to persuade them.
"Those who intercede for him will all be guilty of the same crime!"
As soon as these words came out, all those who begged for mercy shut up.
Doctor Liu is still scolding
"Mo Wenli, you bastard, you won't be on the throne for a long time. When the regent knows what you have done, the iron cavalry will definitely step on your body. You wait! You wait..."
Dr. Liu's voice became farther and farther away until it was completely silent. Everyone felt trembling. Now that they surrendered to Mo Wenli, they could survive for a while, but the regent is still dealing with the enemy at the border of Beidi. If he doesn't come back, that's all. , if they come back, none of them can escape.
"Where are you?" Mo Wenli looked at the remaining old men coldly.
Several people were obviously tough, with their eyes closed and silent, looking like they would kill if they wanted to.
"Okay! Very good! Drag it out and cut it!"
Now the palace is considered clean, although a few pedantic people who were loyal and patriotic to the emperor were all executed, and the rest were either those who were greedy for life and afraid of death, or those who were deep in heart, did not fight or grab, and endured humiliation.
The enthronement ceremony ended in a bloodbath.
The heads of the executed ministers were also hung at the gate of the city, and people in the capital were panicked for a while.
inside the tavern
"Isn't it too much pomp for the new emperor to ascend the throne?" A drinker couldn't help but ask.
"Shh! Don't talk about it, don't you see that there are soldiers outside? When do you dare to say it!" The drinker at the same table hurriedly stopped him and looked around.
After making sure no one noticed this side, he approached him and said in a low voice,
"Look at the heads hanging at the gate of the city? Are you saying that those people are rebelling? I can't even think about it with my toes. Obviously, this is the new emperor who ascends the throne and wants to make an example. I see, the sky in this imperial city is about to change." gone."
