Xia Fan did not immediately lead his troops to pursue him.

Because for him, stabilizing the situation in the capital is the most important thing. Especially Cao Shiping and the Cao family, it is a trouble that he needs to solve immediately.

Xia Fan was worried that the news of his siege of Sun's Mansion had spread, and if Cao Shiping learned about it, he might not stay and wait for death, maybe he would escape.

In that case, it would be much harder to catch him again.

What made Xia Fan depressed was that when he came to Cao's house, he found that his worries had come true.

At this time, the Cao family was not only full of doors, but also the house was deserted. Except for the rest of the panicked slaves and maidservants, all the people of the Cao family have disappeared without a trace.

However, judging from the fact that the ancestral tablets in the ancestral hall of the Cao family were not taken away, the people of the Cao family did not leave so calmly.

Then Xia Fan found a small teleportation array. Although it can't be like the one in Sun Mansion that can teleport thousands of troops, it is still no problem to teleport ten people and eight people at a time.

Obviously, Cao Shiping and the rest of the Cao family left with the help of the teleportation array.

And the teleportation array had been completely destroyed, so that it was difficult for even Xia Fan to repair it and determine the spatial orientation of the teleportation array at the other end of it.

"It is worthy of being the left minister for many years, and this Cao Shi's parallel thing is really leaky. Xia Fan looked at the teleportation array with an unpretentious face, and sneered in his heart: "It's just that the monk can't run the temple, unless the Cao family can completely escape from the Han Dynasty, there will always be a day when the family will be wiped out." ”

Without the two big stumbling blocks of the Sun family and the Cao family, it will be much simpler and easier for Zhao Weiwei and Liu Yulinglong to liquidate the remaining officials.

Naturally, there were no troubles during this period. For example, there are many people in the royal family who believe that they are from an extraordinary background, and they want to make waves.

Among them, there are several elder brothers of the thirteen princes who want to flee back to their respective fiefdoms, vainly trying to gather soldiers and horses to compete for the world.

It's just that whether it is Xia Fan, Zhao Weiwei and Liu Yu Linglong, they have no mercy on these people, and they catch one person and kill one to prevent future troubles.

The disadvantage of this is naturally that the reputation of Xia Fan and the three of them has become quite bad all of a sudden, and I don't know how many people scolded them behind their backs for being crazy and heinous rebels and thieves.

But the advantage is obvious, that is, if they want to do something, the resistance they face suddenly becomes much weaker.

Of course, Xia Fan was not only an official who was unlikely to support the Thirteen Princes as emperors in the liquidation court, but also promoted a large number of officials in order to restore the original order in the capital as soon as possible.

For some ruffians who dared to take advantage of the chaos to jump out to rob and make trouble, Xia Fan was also ruthless, as long as he was caught, he would kill them all.

As the so-called chaotic times use heavy codes, if you want to calm down the chaotic situation as soon as possible, of course, you have to use some ruthless means.

Three days later, the capital gradually returned to its former calm, which had been in chaos due to the war.

Even though there was still a slight smell of blood in the air, the people of the capital were already busy with life as usual. At most, they would get together in their leisure time to talk about the chaos that had just passed, but they rarely mentioned the previous emperors.

It was as if overnight, all the people in the capital were suffering from the same amnesia.

This may be the difference between the people in the capital and the people in other places, they hear more and see more, and naturally they become very indifferent, and it is easy to accept such a huge change.

Even if an emperor had just died, and he had experienced an earth-shattering battle, no one took it too seriously.

Instead of talking about the dead emperor, people were more willing to talk about the alien armies under Xia Fan who were burly and hideous, and who were not human at first glance.

Many people vividly recounted the bravery and fierceness of the armies of the three tribes, as if they had seen their battles with their own eyes at that time, which would occasionally attract exclamations from the people around them.

Many people secretly hid at home and did not dare to go out, so they did not see anything.

In fact, as the battle in the capital gradually ended, Xia Fan had gathered the army of the three clans back into the Swallowing Heaven pocket the night before, and they were replaced by the army of Lu Chuan and the Marquis of Bufeng.

After all, compared to the armies of the three clans, the soldiers of the human race are more easily accepted by the people of the capital, at least they will not cause unnecessary panic and fear.

When the streets of the capital began to calm down, the major yamen in the capital resumed operation after a few days of suspension.

It's just that the chief officials of the yamen, large and small, have almost all changed, but because the officials who really work below have not been cleaned, the major yamen can quickly work normally.

At the same time, the enthronement of the new emperor was also on the agenda.

Although a considerable part of the officials above the third rank in Beijing have been cleared, there are still a lot of left, plus the heads of various ministries who have just been promoted, so when it comes to the upper court, the Golden Palace does not look sparse at all. Among them, 30 percent of the officials are relatively young.

As for the youngest and most powerful, it is not someone else, but Xia Fan, Zhao Weiwei and Liu Yulinglong.

When the officials who were qualified to go to the Golden Palace walked into the Golden Palace, they couldn't help but be stunned when they saw the three Xia Fan who were waiting for them here early.

Some people even began to hesitate to kowtow and salute, saying that they would see His Majesty.

After all, in everyone's opinion, since Xia Fan brought the emperor when he was a soldier and horse, and the emperor was also killed by him, then he would definitely sit on the throne logically, and then change the country name, and then the Han Dynasty would completely cease to exist.

Xia Fan obviously saw everyone's hesitation, and at the same time anticipated their thoughts, so he waved his hand to stop the officials who had already bowed down and were about to bow down.

"The new emperor is not me, but the thirteen princes, and today I am here to discuss the specific matters of the thirteen princes' accession to the throne as emperors. When Xia Fan said this, he glanced at everyone and said, "Do you understand?"

"Understood. Everyone agreed in unison.

"Let's get started. Xia Fan said: "You don't have to worry about us, we are just watching and will not intervene." ”

Although Xia Fan said so, but he is here, who can really speak freely among the civil and military ministers in the court.

Many people set their eyes on the newly promoted Ministry of Rites Shangshu, waiting for him to come out and speak.

"Enlightenment...... The prince ...... "The Ministry of Rites really has a feeling of being roasted on the fire, but he can't shrink into the crowd and not speak, because many of the ceremonies of the emperor's accession to the throne used to be in charge of the Ministry of Rites.

"Haha, which prince is that?!" Liu Yulinglong laughed when he heard this.

"Bang ......" Before Liu Yulinglong could speak, he took a kick from Zhao Weiwei next to him, and said in a deep voice: "Shut up." ”

Liu Yu Linglong realized at this time that it was not the usual time for brothers to chat, and he couldn't be too presumptuous in this golden palace, so he didn't say more.

"I'm not a prince, I'm afraid that I won't be a prince in this life, if you have something to say, just say it, you don't need to worry about the title. Xia Fan smiled and said to this scholar who was only in his fifties.

"Yes. After being teased by Liu Yulinglong, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu was no longer nervous, and after straightening out his thoughts, he said the entire ascension of the new emperor to the throne from beginning to end, and finally said: "My lord, it has been like this in the past, I don't know if you think it is feasible?"

"Yes. Xia Fan listened carefully and felt that there was no problem, so he nodded and agreed.

In fact, the new emperor's accession to the throne was quite cumbersome, and there were many things that Xia Fan needed to decide, so this court meeting was also held until noon.

Soon, as the news of the new emperor's accession to the throne spread, the entire capital became lively again, and at the same time, all the ministries in the capital began to be busy, especially the top and bottom of the Ministry of Rites.

Xia Fan naturally can't take care of everything, at most, he is to deal with some major matters that officials in various ministries can't call the shots.

Of course, Xia Fan is not idle, he also has a lot of important things to do.

The first is to refine the Lonely Lamp.

Since he got this magic weapon, Xia Fan has not had time to refine it, but after using it twice, he really realized the powerful power of this treasure, and naturally thought about refining it into his own thing, and it would be more convenient and easy to use in the future.

The second is to annex the world left behind by Liu Xingchen's death.

At the beginning, in order to block Liu Xingchen, Xia Fan put the passage of the water world into Liu Xingchen's flame world.

Later, after a vicious battle, Xia Fan never checked again. Now that Liu Xingchen is dead, that flame world has become an ownerless thing, and Xia Fan just takes it for himself.

At the same time, the water world that once made him feel very troublesome is not impossible for him to conquer.

If you attack it directly, it will definitely be quite troublesome, after all, fighting in the water must not be as powerful as those blue water spirits.

But after Xia Fan refined the Lonely Lamp, it would be a different scene.

In addition, Sky Swallowing Pocket can now directly annex small worlds. Xia Fan was also thinking about whether to directly annex this water world just like he did when he annexed the world of Zhenhai King.

As long as this water world enters the Sky Devouring Pocket, under the shattered divine light, even those powerful blue water spirits will inevitably die.

The third thing Xia Fan had to do was to reorganize the army and then go out again.

On the one hand, it is necessary to quell the rebellions in various parts of the Han Dynasty, so that the domestic situation can be stabilized as soon as possible, so that the thirteen princes can be more stable and comfortable as emperors.

On the other hand, it is necessary to make every effort to deal with aggression from the border.

Since Sun Haoran escaped, Xia Fan asked Zhao to intensify his infiltration and surveillance of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom, and any important information must be given to him at any time.

For now, though, the border is relatively calm. Although the Great Sun Demon Kingdom has stationed millions of troops on the border but has never made a full-scale invasion, Xia Fan does not dare to relax at any time.

After all, the Great Sun Demon Kingdom is not the Holy Dragon Kingdom after all, a country like the Divine Eye Country, as a huge and profound country, the war potential of the Great Sun Demon Kingdom is definitely not inferior to the Great Han Dynasty that has been suffering from internal and external troubles for a long time.

If war breaks out between the two countries, it will inevitably be a fierce war. Coupled with the fact that there is also a Tianyu Empire eyeing the side, the situation is really unimaginable.
