Establish a new king!
Everyone in the Qiantian Palace understands that this is indeed the top priority.
Then, the problem arises.
When Emperor Yongping was in power, he did not establish a crown prince.
Now, which prince should inherit the throne
Establish direct lineage, establish elders, establish virtuous people!
How to choose
"Everyone, I believe that the queen is virtuous and should be appointed as the fourteenth prince!"
"It has been said since ancient times that there is a difference between direct descendants and concubines."
"The Fourteenth Prince is the only legitimate son of His Majesty. Although he is young, he has had a reputation as a virtuous person since he was a child. Everyone should have heard of it."
"So, who's in favor and who's against?"
The eldest princess stood in front of the dragon throne with a calm expression, but her words "who agrees and who opposes" were full of a special domineering air, which made everyone feel a little scared.
Once upon a time, when Emperor Yongping and Prince Yu were around, the eldest princess had a reputation of being domineering. But at that time, with Emperor Yongping and Prince Yu restraining her, as well as the Queen Mother, the eldest sister-in-law, even though the eldest princess was a bit domineering, she was still measured.
Nowadays, no one in the court can check and balance the eldest princess.
Not long ago, the eldest princess led her men to annihilate the Xu Mansion of the Three Dukes, ending the legacy of King Taiping.
Who wouldn't be daunted by this ruthlessness
"What the eldest princess said is absolutely true!"
Wang Qijia, the Minister of Household Affairs, was the first to jump out and clearly expressed his support for Princess Dachang's proposal.
As a person who knows how to get things done, the fact that Wang Qi's family can rise from a humble background to the position of Minister of Household Affairs shows his skill and ability to judge the situation.
For many things, once the first person jumps out, it will drive the people around them, thus converging into a general trend.
In fact, some people did not agree with the eldest princess's proposal.
But no one dared to jump out and object.
Not long ago, more than a dozen nobles and royal relatives were murdered in the street. The clues shown by the murderers meant that they were from the underworld. But they are not sure whether he is the killer from the underworld.
When Zuoqiu was the magistrate of the capital city, he intended to sound the drum in order to avenge his detectives. As a result, on the way to the palace, he encountered continuous assassinations, which could not be concealed from anyone.
Although the killer is using the banner of robbery, what is the truth, who is behind the scenes, and how many of these people in the court are pretending to be confused
After all, at that time, even Emperor Yongping chose to pretend to be deaf and dumb.
"Since no one has any objection, then it's settled!"
"Ministry of Rites, when choosing auspicious times, prepare for the Holy Emperor's enthronement ceremony!"
"As for the year name, let's tentatively decide it as Chang'an!"
"Obey Yi's decree!"
The civil and military ministers in the Qiantian Palace had no objections to the instructions of the eldest princess.
Right now, the situation is in the hands of the eldest princess. Even if they are dissatisfied, they can only endure it. As for those who don't want to endure it, then jump out on their own and believe that the thieves in the underworld and the path of calamity will teach them to be a new person.
…
Longxi Mansion, Longcheng.
When news of the changes in the capital came here, Mr. Xu was discussing with Boss Xu how to survive the cold winter and guard against the invasion of the northern barbarians from the south. After hearing that both Emperor Yongping and Prince Yu were dead, and were framed on King Yan, King Yan was killed again, and the Xu Mansion, a family of three princes, was wiped out by the eldest princess. The new king was the young fourteenth prince, father and son. They were all stunned for a long time.
The development of this matter was somewhat unacceptable to them.
In just ten days, the emperor died, Zong Ling of the Zong Renfu died, and King Yan was charged with regicide and died.
The Xu Mansion, once the first family of the noble family, was also charged with regicide and was destroyed.
This is not singing!
How could such a powerful King Yan end so easily
In the past, even if King Yan was betrayed by Leng Ci and imprisoned in the dungeon of the clan's mansion, Mr. Xu didn't think that King Yan would end the game so easily.
But now, it’s too sudden!
After a while of quiet time, Mr. Xu slowly exhaled a breath and said: "Princess, this woman is really cruel!"
"Dad, you mean that these things were all done by the eldest princess?"
Boss Xu was confused again.
Mr. Xu curled his lips and said, "Who else could be there besides her?"
"I'm afraid this woman had big plans from the beginning."
"Back then, when my second son and I went to kill her, she actually got a substitute to come out. Now that I think about it, this woman really hid deep enough!"
"Dad, then, will she target us?"
"Do you still need to ask this question?"
Mr. Xu snorted, "Just because she plotted against your grandmother, we are already destined to fight to the death between you and her."
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's just raise an army!"
Boss Xu jumped up and said, "While the capital is in chaos, we can just take advantage of the situation to avenge the emperor and rush to the capital in a legitimate and justified manner!"
"Use your brain!"
Mr. Xu slapped Mr. Xu on the head, "The capital is in chaos now, but if there is external pressure like us, those people will quickly unite."
"Let's ignore this matter for now!"
Mr. Xu frowned slightly, "We will occupy Longxi Mansion, Xiangyi Mansion, Qifeng Mansion, Donglin Mansion and Qiping Mansion now, and then we will find a way to capture Jiangcheng Mansion. With the land of the six mansions in hand, even if The imperial court wants to deal with us, so it has to think carefully."
"Dad, regarding that, those killers from the underworld who appeared later, do you think they are really from the underworld?"
"probably!"
The underworld has been rampant for many years.
This is a huge killer organization. As long as the top ten Yamas are not completely killed, then the killers in this underworld will definitely reappear.
"Dad, if those are really killers from the underworld, then why would they kill those people? It doesn't make sense!"
Killer, get paid to do things.
It is impossible for the underworld to kill more than a dozen dignitaries and royal relatives in one day for no reason. This kind of behavior is simply provoking the imperial court. This is an act of suicide comparable to rebellion.
"Why doesn't it make sense?"
Mr. Xu chuckled, "If my guess is correct, those people who died should have been able to influence the prince's succession."
"Did the eldest princess do it again?"
"No!"
"The underworld killer is definitely not hired by the eldest princess. The eldest princess has already grasped the situation and holds a sharp butcher knife in her hand. She does not need to do anything extra."
"The person who did this may have deliberately muddied the waters."
Although Mr. Xu didn't know who hired Hell, he must have offered a price that Hell couldn't refuse. Only in this way could Hell be so crazy.
The Ten Palaces of Yamas dispatched at the same time, in the capital, in broad daylight, under the protection of a large number of guards, and killed so many nobles and royal relatives. This ferocity simply made them a thorn in the side of the court. (End of chapter)
