Chapter 520: The Mercy of the Victor

coldly, the hundred officials turned around and looked at it.

Then, the hundreds of officials outside the Imperial City moved left and right one after another, leaving a walkway in the middle of the procession.

Dongfang Shuo looked up, and in the direction of the city gate, an old man with an old dragon bell was slowly walking towards here.

Every step he takes seems to be slow, but in fact, he walks faster than the eye can see.

This person is none other than Longlin Ancestor.

As an old minister of the empire, as soon as he heard the voice, Sima Changyun already knew that the owner of the voice must be Longlin Ancestor.

Feeling the footsteps getting closer and closer behind him, Sima Changyun's face also showed a look of surprise and even horror.

Dongfang Shuo watched Sima Changyun's expression change as if his face changed, and he understood that he must not have expected Longlin Ancestor to appear at this moment.

"It seems that the Sima family has climbed too high, has too much power in their hands, has too wide a power, and has too deep a foundation. ”

Walking to Sima Changyun's side, Old Ancestor didn't look at him, but said to him.

In these words, a few words 'too' should have scared Sima Changyun a lot.

"Minister, it's just that you still have a conscience and speak out fairly!"

Sima Changyun paused word by word, and when he spit out these words, he looked a little struggling.

Dongfang Shuo squinted, looked at Sima Changyun's faintly swollen face, and had a count in his heart.

It was Longlin Ancestor who was exerting spiritual pressure on Sima Changyun alone.

However, Dongfang Shuo did not perceive even the slightest disturbance of the spiritual power of the ancestor to the aura of heaven and earth, which could only show that the spiritual power of the ancestor had been condensed to a terrifying point, as if a boulder entered the ocean without causing the slightest wave.

This is the really terrifying strength.

"Be fair and outspoken, you really put gold on your face!" Old Ancestor said, "You just despise the good intentions of the little emperor for the sake of your Sima family's petty profits, and even want to abandon the righteousness of your family and country!"

At this time, Sima Changyun's body began to tremble.

He didn't get up because he couldn't stand up at all.

"I ...... He has ever abandoned righteousness......"

But Sima Changyun still had no intention of backing down.

Because the facts are very clear, as long as he has the slightest regression, all the guilt and fault will inevitably fall on him.

"The old man doesn't argue with you about what is right or wrong, the old man just wants to ask you, do you still have a king in your eyes?"

Old Ancestor asked.

Sima Changyun raised his head with difficulty and said, "Naturally, there is, but it is absolutely not advisable to waste the elder and the young......

"It's not advisable to abolish the elders and establish the young, this is just a pedantic statement, the throne of my Longlin Empire should be occupied by those who have the ability. Old Ancestor said, "If the eldest son is really going to succeed to the throne, then the old man will already be the emperor more than a hundred years ago." But why is the old man still not the emperor? Because there are many people in the imperial family, the old man is not as good as them, if the old man really succeeded to the throne back then, the Longlin Empire will not survive to this day, and it will have been destroyed in the hands of the old man!"

Dongfang Shuo was also slightly shocked when he heard the ancestor's words.

What he didn't expect was that the ancestor would actually use himself as a counterexample, how bold is this?

It is worthy of a person who has lived for 200 years, and he looks down on everything.

"This ...... I ......"

Sima Changyun's words began to falter.

When the ancestor moved out of his reputation, Sima Changyun had already lost.

It is not advisable to abolish the growth and establish the young, in fact, it is just a disguise. What Sima Changyun really wants to preserve is not this rule, but the foundation of the Sima family.

When the eldest prince succeeds to the throne, the Sima family can survive.

The six princes succeeded to the throne, and the good days of the Sima family were coming to an end.

In fact, it was not only the Sima family, most of the people present who belonged to the family category were more or less resistant to this holy decree.

It's just that they don't have the courage of Sima Changyun.

In other words, if the ancestor came out a little later, these people would have to stand up, and when the ancestor came out again at that time, I am afraid that it would be useless to say anything.

"There is no need to say much about the succession of the six princes. ”

At this point, the ancestor looked at the ministers, "Courtiers, do you still have any objections?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Those who were still hesitating at the beginning, in the face of the ancestor's question, most of them chose to compromise.

And once the number of people who compromise exceeds half, then a general trend is formed, and even those who are not willing to give up have to give up.

Those who do not give up under the general trend can only die, and not alone, but with the whole clan.

"Good. ”

Seeing that everyone was silent, the ancestor nodded with satisfaction.

So, he looked at Dongfang Shuo.

After noticing the ancestor's eyes, Dongfang Shuo nodded, then turned around and presented the holy decree in his hand to the six princes.

Under Sima Changyun's gaze with a somewhat desperate look, the six princes took over the holy decree.

In this way, the will has been heard, and the whole world should do it.

And Sima Changyun did a lot of calculations, but he couldn't calculate that Longlin Ancestor would come out of the customs at this time.

At this time, he looked at Dongfang Shuo, who was already relieved, and frowned, and couldn't help but show a painful look in his eyes.

It must have been Dongfang Shuo who invited the ancestor, but why the ancestor would obey Dongfang Shuo's meaning, Sima Changyun really couldn't understand.

Therefore, the only thing Sima Changyun can do is to complain to the sky, complaining why it would be Dongfang Shuo who became an opponent with him Sima Changyun......

"Next is the enthronement ceremony, please go back and prepare. ”

Dongfang Shuo turned his head and instructed the hundred officials.

The officials agreed one after another, so they turned around and entered the city, and each went home.

Then, in front of the gate of the imperial city, Dongfang Shuo, the princes, the ancestors of Longlin and Sima Changyun, who was still kneeling on the ground, were left empty, as well as the carriage not far away and several eunuchs beside the carriage.

"Lord Sima, fortunately, your hands and eyes are not enough to reach the sky, and your actions to probe the news in the palace are relatively slow, otherwise you will win today. ”

Oriental Shuo Road.

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to Sima Changyun.

Looking at Dongfang Shuo's outstretched hand in front of him, Sima Changyun was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly.

Then he also stretched out his hand, and with Dongfang Shuo's strength, he staggered to his feet.

"The mercy of the victors is so cheap. Sima Changyun said, turned around and arched his hand to the ancestor, and then turned around.

Looking at his departing back, Dongfang Shuo breathed a sigh of relief again.

This not very exciting decisive battle was actually already showing the turbulent waves in calm as early as a few days ago.

If Sima Changyun could have known in advance that Dongfang Shuo entered the palace yesterday in order to invite the ancestor out of the customs, and if he succeeded, Sima Changyun would definitely make a move, and today's result would definitely be counted.

The ancestor was able to shock the hundred officials, purely because everything had not happened yet.

If the opponents in the hundred officials all stand up, it is useless for the ancestor to say anything, because at that time, the opponents have no way out, just like Sima Changyun at this moment, there is no way out.

Because after this not very exciting decisive battle, the Sima family already had enough reasons to perish.

They no longer have the energy to make enemies of Dongfang Shuo.

"Someone. ”

Suddenly, Dongfang Shuo spoke.

"Lord Dongfang. ”

A eunuch hurried by the carriage.

"You go check. Dongfang Shuo said, "Check the people who have crossed paths with the Sima family in the palace and the Tai Hospital in the past two days. ”

"Yes. ”

Without asking any more questions, the eunuch departed.

At this time, Old Ancestor asked, "Why do you want to check the Tai Hospital?"

"The imperial physician told Sima Changyun that His Majesty couldn't speak well before he died, which was not a good sign. At this point, Dongfang Shuo looked at the six princes not far away, "At least the palace looks clean." ”
