Just when the whole army in the northwest was bothering about food and grass, there was a lot of noise and panic on the side of the capital.

A month after the state funeral, Lord Shangshu Min of the Ministry of War proposed above the court: The country cannot be without a king for a day, and implored the second prince to ascend the throne as soon as possible and preside over the overall situation.

As soon as this proposal came out, there were many responders, but most of them were officials from noble families who expressed their support.

However, the attitude of many civil officials is very strange, neither opposing nor supporting, but only silent.

Looking at these civil officials who didn't want to speak up, but just clubbed above the court with numb expressions, the second prince Zhao Yanfeng was so angry that he almost broke the root of his teeth.

He knew that these people still suspected that he had killed his father, so they used this attitude to protest silently.

He really wanted to say loudly to these people: I didn't kill my father, he chose to cut it himself.

But can such words be spoken? Of course not.

If he really wants to say this, it is equivalent to showing everyone that it was he who led his troops to besiege the palace, that he forced his father Emperor Jing'an to death, and that it was he who ordered the execution of all his younger brothers.

Even if he had already made a decree to pass on the throne, he still could not convince these civil officials.

They all knew that this decree of succession must be false.

What emperor in the world would make a decree to pass on the throne to his son who wanted to kill him?

Not to mention these civil officials, in fact, many nobles and officials who support the second prince know in their hearts what probably happened that night.

The mutiny happened so suddenly, so suddenly that everyone was caught off guard.

Many people clearly remember that almost all the nobles and officials in the capital attended the Nine Lamps Banquet held in the Princess's Mansion that night.

However, while the banquet was going on, a large number of people dressed as ordinary subordinates and claiming to be forbidden soldiers suddenly sealed the entire princess's mansion.

Then came the news that An Guogong was going to be arrested, and he was charged with committing rebellion.

Soon, not only in the princess's mansion, but also on the streets, a large number of forbidden soldiers were searching for the Xie family and their henchmen.

But it didn't take long for these forbidden troops to withdraw from the princess's mansion and the streets, and their whereabouts were unknown.

The people who were forcibly detained in the princess's mansion took advantage of the absence of the soldiers outside and quickly fled to their homes for refuge.

Hardly anyone could sleep that night, everyone was nervously watching the developments, and many had even begun to pack up and prepare to escape.

In the middle of the night, the people who sent people out to inquire about the news got the shocking news: the entire palace had been surrounded by hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the five military camps, and tens of thousands of palace forbidden troops were desperately resisting.

Oh my God, the palace was surrounded. Isn't this a rebellion?!

Those who got the news were shocked.

As a result, in the afternoon of the next day, the government posted an enlightenment of An Min everywhere, saying that last night the eldest prince colluded with Ning Zhiyuan and others of the Duchy of Zhen and some forbidden soldiers to make a rebellion and besiege the palace.

The eldest prince and others not only killed the prince, but also killed the other young princes, committing a heinous crime that annihilated humanity.

His Royal Highness was ordered to quell the rebellion, and led the soldiers of the five military camps to defeat the great prince and other rebels, and kept the peace of the capital.

As for the Zhenguo Gong family and the entire Ning clan who participated in the rebellion, they left the capital from the family's secret passage, and their whereabouts are now unknown.

This revelation of Anmin once again made everyone's jaws drop.

The person who staged the mutiny last night was the Great Prince?

Many people are seriously skeptical of this announcement.

Even if the eldest prince really had the intention to rebel, why did he instigate a military tycoon like the Principality of Zhen, which was highly used by the emperor, to help him do things?

In addition, although the notice did not say which forbidden army the eldest prince colluded with, anyone who was a little more well-informed knew that it was Jin Wuwei soldiers who searched for the Xie family in the princess's mansion and on the street last night, and it was also Jin Wuwei and Yu Linwei who desperately defended the palace.

Everyone knows that Jin Wuwei and Yu Linwei have always been forbidden troops in the palace, so why can the eldest prince instigate these four emperors' personal soldiers to rebel with him?

And what about the queen, did the eldest prince even kill his own mother?

Such a proclamation would only be believed by civilians who do not know anything.

And the officials who can be officials in the capital or many nobles with their hands and eyes are all human spirits, and many people have already pieced together the truth of the whole thing from various news and channels.

What is certain is that the first person to strike must be the emperor.

The emperor finally attacked the Xie family, a relative who held military power and held a high position.

The emperor took advantage of the princess's wedding to suddenly launch a sneak attack on the Xie family led by An Guogong, wanting to annihilate the Xie family in one fell swoop.

However, it is obvious that An Guogong is a chess player, not only avoiding the sneak attack, but also controlling the five military camps to counterattack the palace.

In order to protect the emperor, Jin Wuwei and Yu Linwei could only return to the palace, so they had to withdraw.

Although these guards and forbidden troops were all elite, in the face of more than 100,000 soldiers in the five military camps led by the second prince, they were finally defeated, the palace was breached, and the emperor's side was defeated.

And the eldest prince and the others were obviously killed when they broke through, and the end must have been miserable.

As for the emperor and queen, most of them were also under the hands of the second prince and An Guogong and others.

Even the young princes were not spared, and they all died.

It's ruthless, it's so ruthless! The real weeding and eradication leave no future troubles.

Among them, the most unacceptable thing for civil officials is the behavior of the second prince's father.

An Guogong is a relative and an outsider, if he rebelled alone and did this kind of thing, it can only be said that the winner is the king and the loser is the villain, and he belongs to the category of rebellious ministers and thieves.

However, your second prince is the emperor's biological son, and he has loved the emperor for many years, and now he has committed this kind of fatherly behavior, which is really beyond the moral bottom line of all civil officials who have read through the books of sages.

Even if you let the emperor "recuperate" in the palace from now on, it would be good to be a titular emperor, but why do you want to be a father?

In all dynasties, I have never heard of an emperor who dared to do such a rebellious and outrageous thing.

This kind of thing is not to say that it happened to the royal family, even if it happened among the common people, it is a terrifying thing.

An emperor who can even do it with his own father, how can he not make these civil officials feel cold and afraid.

The silence they showed in the court was not so much a silent protest as they did not know how to face such a ruthless new king.

However, these attitudes of the civil officials still completely angered the second prince, and he had long looked at these people unpleasantly.

When the eldest prince was still there, it was these people who helped the eldest prince to make trouble.

Now that he is about to ascend the throne as emperor, it just so happens that the old and new hatreds are counted together.

Do you think I really can't do anything about you rotten people?

With this hatred, the eldest prince quickly issued the first decree after officially ascending the throne: the establishment of the Royal Governor's Office, which gave him the power to supervise hundreds of officials, scout the people, arrest and interrogate.

The Imperial Government is under the direct jurisdiction of the Emperor, and can directly arrest criminals for trial without the consent of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Criminal Department, and the Dali Temple.

As soon as this decree came out, everyone was shocked.

If Chi Fei was there, he would definitely not be able to help but say in surprise:, isn't this a proper Ming Dynasty brocade guard?
