Chapter 141: The new emperor ascends the throne, and the corpses are all over the king's road
In the main hall, hundreds of officials stand.
Although it is late at night, the pearl light illuminates everything around us.
Everyone bowed their heads and said nothing, their faces like white paper.
Because they know that tonight, a great change is coming.
The right prime minister, the minister of military aircraft, the secretary of the ministry, the secretary of the household department, the secretary of the military department and other high-ranking officials were not present at this moment.
It can be said that people are panicking now, and many people don't know whose neck the next butcher knife will be on it.
The Praetorian Guard has already surrounded the palace, and the only strength of the Duan family is these.
Holding knives downward, people kept being taken out.
As for Duan Zhengxing, he was already wearing a yellow robe and sitting on the dragon chair.
The entire hall was lifeless, the new emperor was silent, and the ministers did not dare to speak.
It wasn't until Duan Heng walked in, lowered his voice, and said something in Duan Zhengxing's ear, he nodded slightly.
"Zhongqing's family, five out of ten of the people who rebelled this time have been arrested, and as for the remaining half, they are still standing among you!"
Duan Zhengxing finally spoke.
As soon as these words came out, all the courtiers fell to their knees.
They were worried in their hearts, and they didn't know who would be taken out next.
"Heaven has the virtue of a good life, and so do I, so I have decided not to pursue the rebellion of the rest of the people, you see......"
Duan Zhengxing's voice fell, and the ministers turned their heads one after another.
I saw that the sixteen high-ranking officials who were taken down before were all tied up outside the hall at this moment.
As the executioner swung his sword, sixteen human heads fell to the ground.
The bloody scene made everyone present tremble.
Since the founding of the Duan Clan, there has never been such a bloody thing.
"The Emperor's grace is immense! The emperor's grace is so swinging! β
turned over and knelt down again, and among the hundreds of officials, many people were already paralyzed to the ground in fright.
They knew in their hearts that if they delved into this time, they would also kneel there.
"The thief has been killed, from now on, no one will know about the past, I hope you will serve faithfully in the future, and you will no longer have a rebellious heart, otherwise, don't blame me for not thinking about the love of the monarch and the minister!"
Although Duan Zhengxing's eyes were firm, he was still stunned in his bones.
If it weren't for Lin Su presiding over the overall situation, he would never have done such a thing.
"Long live my emperor, we'll wait...... I will be faithful to you! β
The ministers shouted long live, sixteen of whom were the core members, and as soon as they died, they died without proof.
This can be regarded as a complete abonement of the sin of rebellion of others.
"This time, the twenty-one rebellion, but also the Emperor Taishang as a hostage, intending to swallow my Dali country, although I do not covet the powerful, but Gao Taiming is brutal by nature, if this thief gets the throne, Dali is afraid that it will be ruined, therefore, I decided, to defend the imperial city, even if the jade is burned, and will not compromise, when the rebels attack, I will stand at the head of the wall, and the army and the people together to resist the enemy!"
Duan Zhengxing stood up, wearing a dragon robe, he was already determined to fight.
Of course, these words were also taught by Lin Su word by word.
"Ministers...... Swear to follow! β
The ministers turned over and bowed down again, tonight's Dali is destined to be a sleepless night.
"I ascended the throne and issued three edicts, the first of which is that I will fight a decisive battle with the enemy, and I will never die, the second way, from today onwards, reduce the salt tax and never increase it, and the third way, from today on, the people of the Dali royal family will no longer enjoy the privileges of the royal family, exempt them from the moon, and never use the silver of the treasury to build temples again!"
Duan Zhengxing was in high spirits, standing there, looking down at the civil and military officials.
"My emperor, sympathetic to the people's feelings, it is my luck in Dali, the blessing of the people, we will follow to the death!"
The hundred officials shouted long live again, and in the hall, they suddenly became a little angry.
When it was dawn, the Three Emperors List was issued, and the entire Imperial City fell into a heated discussion.
Some want to escape, some want to fight.
For a while, all living beings, streets and alleys, were talking about the turmoil in front of them.
There is even gossip that overnight, the Gao clan and hundreds of people who stayed in the city were all killed.
The door of Gaofu was closed, and no one dared to explore it.
The revenge of the Duan royal family was like a thunderbolt from the blue.
The beating crowd was caught off guard.
Just when they thought that this battle was just a dispute within the imperial city.
But they didn't know that around them, the killing was also going on.
The person who was still advocating the decline of the Duan clan's imperial power on the street just now was found dead in the alley after a short time.
Some of them seemed to have been bitten on their arms, while others had poisoned arrows piercing their throats.
Assassinations from all walks of life have launched a posture of fighting for each other in the imperial city.
As for the apse of the palace at this time, Duan Zhengxing, who had not slept all night, was wearing a yellow robe but standing there nervously.
On the other hand, Lin Su on the chair on the side closed his eyes slightly, and he didn't feel any anxiety at all.
As Yue Fei and Yang Xin walked into the hall, he opened his eyes.
"Guogong, the matter has been done!"
The two of them searched around with a group of fierce generals and removed all the eyeliners left by the Gao family in the city.
"Very good, let's go down and rest!"
Lin Su nodded with satisfaction.
Before the start of the war, the key to victory is to clear the enemy's meticulous work.
"Yes!"
The two of them agreed, turned and walked out of the hall.
But at this moment, there were footsteps outside the door.
"Guogong!"
Outside the door, there was the voice of Si Gongling.
Immediately after, nine maids walked in with one of them.
She is none other than Duan Lianxue.
"What's going on?"
Lin Su looked at Duan Lianxue, who was pushed to the ground, and said with a smile.
"She really went to report the news, and was almost run away by those guys!"
Si Gong Ling glared at Duan Lianxue.
In order to exercise these greenhouse flowers, Lin Su also let them take a shot.
However, it was not an assassination, but a follow-up of Duan Lianxue.
Because Lin Su found that this little princess seemed to be a little naughty.
"Princess Dali, you actually collaborated with the enemy?"
Lin Su looked at Duan Lianxue with interest.
He knew that this so-called princess who didn't let her eyebrows go down would secretly play tricks.
"I can't allow you to kill like this, even if they are wrong, you should be merciful and give them a chance to make amends!"
Duan Lianxue did not deny that she had indeed eavesdropped on the conversation, so she rushed to report the news.
It's just that those people didn't believe her words.
"Imperial sister, you are fooling around!"
Duan Zheng looked at Duan Lianxue angrily, knowing that he had been compassionate since he was a child, but he didn't want to distinguish between friend and foe at such a time.
"Brother Huang, my father taught us to be merciful since childhood, but today, for the sake of imperial power, you have slaughtered hundreds of people, is it true that everyone who sits on the dragon chair has blood on their hands? If so, I'd rather die than be the one who's going to die, it's me! β
Duan Lianxue got up, she knew that she couldn't reason with the cold-blooded Lin Su.
Holding Duan Zhengxing's hand tightly, he couldn't understand why the imperial brother had become so brutal.
"Imperial Sister...... You'll understand it later! β
Duan Zhengxing let out a long sigh, he was too naΓ―ve to live today.
If she doesn't experience the cold winter, she naturally won't know the sadness of life.
"No later, she should understand now, I will soon let you see the real battlefield!"
Lin Su stood up and looked at Duan Lianxue with a smile.
Her compassion will soon be destroyed by the cruelty of the battlefield.
