One, two, three, four...... Those internal guards who thought they were strong in martial arts fell down one after another in front of Yao Wuxian.

These brocade-clothed people are all the same in Yao Wuxian's eyes, they are just the bargaining chips he kept adding to the weight of his life before he died.

The more they die, the louder Yao Wuji's name will be.

Yao Wuji's clothes were cut to shreds, even the tough soft armor had lost its effect, and when he was knocked to the ground, there were so many corpses piled up around him that it made people's scalps tingle.

At the same time, outside the palace, the crown prince Yang Jing paced back and forth, his face was very pale, and he was indeed very painful, as Yao Wuxian said, what he wanted to do was too tragic, this kind of killing his father, killing his mother and killing his brother, someone would definitely take the blame for him, but no one could replace this pain.

He is not a ruthless person, how can he not hurt?

He only hopes to succeed, and if he fails in the end after such a tragedy, then what is all this?

Joke?

In the dark night, the palace door creaked open, and the little eunuch Jing stumbled out of the palace at the order, shouting as he ran.

"Your Majesty has been assassinated, please invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince into the palace!"

Yang Jing was stunned when he heard this, then let out a long breath, then laughed, laughed for a moment, and then squatted on the ground and cried.

Not long after, Yuwen Chonghe, as the first important minister of the imperial court, also hurried to the palace, not only him, but also hundreds of civil and military officials were also on the way to come.

The crown prince knelt beside the body of the old emperor, and had fainted several times from crying.

Yuwen Chonghe knelt a little farther away, keeping his head down because he was afraid that he would laugh out loud.

Before he died, the old emperor thought, none of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were looking forward to his death, he was wrong, at least Yuwen Chonghe was looking forward to his death, although the Yuwen family seemed to have reached the peak, and Yuwen Chonghe had also reached a very human minister, but he was not satisfied yet.

Because he also has a Liu Chongxin on his head.

Only when the old emperor dies and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne is he a true and true supreme minister.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is extremely short of people around him, except for his Yuwen family, almost the entire court is Liu Chongxin's lackey, and the prince has no one who can be trusted, and the prince's accession to the throne means that the Yuwen family will also reach the peak.

"Your Highness, condolences."

Yuwen Chonghe knelt there and persuaded him: "Now you still need Your Highness to take care of your body and preside over the overall situation, Dachu can't be without a king for a day, and the world can't be without an owner for a day, Your Highness, please also focus on the overall situation." ”

The crown prince Yang Jing looked at Yuwen Chonghe with blood-red eyes, and said angrily: "I want to accompany my father and queen mother now, I don't want to do anything!" ”

Yuwen Chonghe looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who had a somewhat hideous face, but what he thought in his heart was that His Highness should only reluctantly agree after his first few persuasions?

The next day, the main hall.

The crown prince Yang Jing put on a dragon robe, with a black gauze on the dragon robe, he looked sad and had taken off his face, his face was haggard, but there was a terrifying light in his eyes.

All the courtiers pleaded with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to ascend the throne at the first time, and there seemed to be no one else to choose from, because as long as the princes who were still in the capital were dead, the only one who was outside was the third prince Yang Ling, who was supposed to train the navy in Buhu Lake and prepare for the invasion of the rebels in the mountains of Buhu Lake.

Speaking of which, this third prince is also the only one who can compete with the crown prince Yang for the throne, he is talented and intelligent, full of poetry and books, and has personally led troops to fight against the rebels, and his personality is more radical than Yang Jing.

But this only competitor is not there, and even if he is, he can't compete with the orthodox name of the prince

That's right.

Taking advantage of Liu Chongxin's absence, the crown prince became the emperor of Great Chu in a little haste, but no one dared to question it.

Jing Jing, the new chief eunuch of the palace, obeyed the order and walked to the edge of the high platform with His Majesty's first will in both hands, and he looked at the group of adults below who were all a little frightened, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a sneer.

There is no decree for this first will, this is a will to spread to the world, but it is only to tell the Manchu Dynasty civil and military and the people of the world how the old emperor probably died, for the sake of the great Chu country, how did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascend the throne and claim the emperor.

The key is the second will of the emperor, and the first thing that this second will says is to change the name of the year to the Jing calendar.

The second is to immediately recall Prince Wu and ask Prince Wu to return to Beijing as soon as possible, and then to recall Liu Chongxin, the head of the Department of Investigation, as soon as possible, and the same is to ask him to return to Beijing as soon as possible.

Then appeased the people, appeased the courtiers, and finally, it was about the assassin Yao Wuxian who assassinated the old emperor.

This edict was very long, so long that Jing had just read the part of appeasing the people.

Yang Jing sat on the dragon chair, in front of him, the little eunuch Jing was reading out the will that he had drafted a long time ago, every word he was familiar with, he had thought about these words countless times, his lips moved slightly, and every word that Jing read out was correct, and it was exactly the same.

His fingers stroked lightly on the armrests of the dragon chair, and there seemed to be a burst of tingling on his fingertips, which made his expression gradually intoxicated, and after a while, he realized that he might be a little out of shape, and quickly sat upright.

At this moment, Jing was reading about the people.

"Your Majesty knows the troubles of the world and the unrest of the people......"

Jing obediently raised his head and read this and looked at the courtiers, who seemed to have been waiting for a statement about them, but not yet, so some of them were about to lose patience.

Jing listened to the fate and said that this group of corpse vegetarian people, what qualifications do they have to stand on top of this hall?

He cursed a few words in his heart and continued to read the 10,000-word edict.

Yang Jing decided to give amnesty to the world, and all the rebels, as long as they put down their weapons and returned to the imperial court, they could not be blamed for the past, no matter what they had done before, they could be pardoned.

The imperial court would also open warehouses and distribute seeds to the people as much as possible, and anyone who was willing to return to their hometown to farm well could also receive a reward of five silver per household from the government.

Yang Jing also decided to establish a new army, and all those who participated in the rebels could also become members of the new army of the imperial court, as long as they met the standards of the imperial court's conscription, they could become regular soldiers of the Great Chu Prefecture.

The families of all the soldiers of the new army were converted into military households on the day they joined the army, and the military households could have their own share of the fields, and the grain grown in these fields did not need to pay taxes, and the imperial court would also distribute various heavy rewards every year.

In addition to these, what made the ordinary people who joined the rebels even more tempted was that they received grain seeds from the government in the first year, and only had to return the seeds to the government in the second year, without having to pay the grain.

Yang Jing believes that as long as the people see his determination, the people will definitely change.

The most useful way to deal with the rebels is not to exterminate them all, but to let the people who take up hoes as weapons go back to the fields with hoes, which is the bottom of the kettle.

Everyone has a field to plant, food to eat, clothes to wear, and a good life in the future, who wants to be a thief?

Jing was still reading sentence by sentence, and the faces of the people below were getting worse and worse, and even Yuwen Chonghe's face became ugly.

Every word and everything in Your Majesty's edict did them no good, and if it really went on like this, what would they do?

Yuwen Chonghe looked at the young emperor sitting on the dragon chair, his eyes were a little complicated.

Two hours later, the prison.

When Emperor Yang Jing walked in, Yao Wuxian, who was lying on the stone bed, didn't even have the strength to look sideways at him.

He was riddled with holes, and he himself felt that he should be dead, and as for why he wasn't dead, he didn't understand.

But he knew that he was not far from death, and he thought that the only reasonable explanation should be that God asked him to see which aspiring prince before he died...... No, it's the proud look of His Majesty the Great Chu Emperor.

The Emperor walked up to him, looked down at the man who had only one breath left, and was silent for a long time.

Yao Wuxian had broken limbs, his jaw was rotten, and his tongue was hanging out, looking like a new ghost who had just been tortured by various punishments in hell, but unfortunately he was not a new ghost, and he might be tortured again after arriving in the Netherworld.

"I'm sorry for you."

Yang Jing slowly exhaled and said, "But I am right to do this, and you should also understand that I am right, but I don't want you to go blindly, so I am sorry for you, I must say it." ”

Yao Wuxian lay there, his eyes moving, and this was the only place he could move.

His face was so swollen that his eyes narrowed into a slit, so that only he knew if his eyes moved.

The emperor's people moved over a chair, and the emperor sat down beside Yao Wuxian, he looked at Yao Wuxian's miserable appearance, and after a moment of silence, he said: "I will issue an order tomorrow to divide your five horses, if there is really reincarnation, how I treat you in this life, you will do to me in the next life." ”

The Emperor paused and continued: "That woman, I have already arranged for someone to send her out of the capital, and she will settle down well, she already has your flesh and bones.

Hearing this, Yao Wuji's body seemed to move.

What he was most afraid of was that Yang Jing knew that Zhou Wan was pregnant, so he deliberately said those few words before entering the palace, but he didn't expect that Yang Jing would not even let go of such a thing, and he had to check it out.

"But you know, what you do, you can't do it without punishing the nine clans, so I will still send people to track down your family clansmen, as long as they check carefully, they will definitely be able to find out, I left Zhou Wan behind, and it can be regarded as leaving some blood and bones for you, she is just a Qinglou woman, if you don't give her a name, she is not in your nine clans."

Yao Wuxian's body moved slightly, he seemed to be trying to open his eyes and take a good look at this Great Chu Emperor, but he couldn't do it, if he could, he wanted to spit on the face of this Ninety-Five Emperor, and then say, You are indeed amazing.

The emperor got up and patted Yao Wuxian lightly on his body.

"You are the hero of Da Chu, I promised you that your name will be known to the world, so I tell the world that the person who assassinated the emperor is named Yao Wuxian."

After saying this, the emperor turned and left.

Four days later, the left Wuwei battalion.

After receiving the will from the capital, Yang Jiju, the prince of Wu, stood there motionless for a while as if he was stupid, and his subordinates reminded him several times in a row before he remembered to accept the order.

His idiot who has been playing all his life, playing all his life, and almost finished playing the entire Da Chu died like this?

"Lord Wang."

The little eunuch who came to announce the decree took a few steps forward, lowered his voice and said, "Lord Wang, please step back left and right, Your Majesty still has an edict." ”

Prince Wu was silent for a moment and then nodded, leaning over slightly: "Please accept the order." ”

The little eunuch approached Prince Wu and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty said that I don't want Liu Chongxin to return to the capital alive, the prince's army is the closest to Macheng at this time......"

Prince Wu paused again and leaned over: "The minister's decree." ”
