At the same time as Sima Fa withdrew his troops, he had already dispatched Lu Cong's henchmen and generals in the counties where the signs of riots were most likely to appear, and ordered them to be exterminated without hesitation once they appeared.

On the other hand, in the name of the Metropolitan Governor, a proclamation was issued to all the officials of the jurisdiction, affirming and promising rewards, and at the same time consolidating the loyalty of the officials and generals in various places.

Then send a letter to the border county town Taishou, and do all the defensive measures to deal with the forces of Ning Ze, Tang Niu, and Ma Jian.

With the Lu family, he rushed back to the imperial city and met Lu Cong.

Lu Cong asked face to face: "You already know about Emperor Hui, how can you do it?"

Sima Fa sighed and stepped forward and said, "If you can conceal this matter, you only need to find another descendant of Emperor You's relatives to replace him, and you can worry about it." Now it's in an uproar, and the world knows it. I am afraid that civil strife will break out, so I can only take a hegemonic move to ascend the throne and become emperor, and change the dynasty! I have made a proper plan, and I must not delay the opportunity!"

"If the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty don't agree, what can they do?" Lu Cong asked worriedly.

"If you want to act domineeringly, you should be decisive in killing. Sima Fa replied, "Those who follow will stay, and those who don't follow will kill them, and then promise to be a high-ranking official, and they can do it themselves!"

"I don't have the heart to be the emperor, and now I'm really helpless!" Lu Cong sighed.

"Dacheng's national fortunes are over! My father-in-law started from Dangliang and sat in the Imperial City's Miliang, and he deserved a beam. Sima Fa said, "The country name is set as the big beam, and the country will be prosperous!"

"Daliang?" Lu Cong nodded slightly, "It's just that the prime minister has never thought of ascending the throne and becoming the emperor, and you still need to make arrangements for the specific steps!"

"Whoa!"

Sima Fa found Lu Yuan and asked him to immediately lead troops to replace all the Praetorian Guards inside and outside the imperial city, personally control Miliang, and replace any place with his own henchmen.

Then make all preparations and summon the civil and military officials to the palace.

Lu Cong and his subordinates were naturally aware of the abnormal movements. Everyone is not stupid, and all the information has been carefully considered recently, and it has been guessed that something big is happening.

Hundreds of officials arrived first, each with his own thoughts.

After a short time, Lu Cong, followed by Sima Fa and Lu Yuan, was escorted by a team of armored guards left and right, and entered the palace.

When he arrived at the palace to face the hundred officials, Lu Cong did not sit down, but looked around at the ministers.

"Meet the Prime Minister!!" The atmosphere was very treacherous, and although the civil and military officials had different thoughts, they still saluted Lu Cong first.

"Excuse me!" Lu Cong waved his hand and said loudly, "Since Liang Yi ant thieves have made trouble, Dacheng has been in turmoil. The prime minister raised troops to support the society and was loyal to the imperial court. Emperor Yu died, and the prime minister tweeted and Emperor Hui assisted with all his heart. How could Emperor Wen die early, and Emperor Hui listened to the gluttonous ministers and slandered his true appearance. I was relatively loyal, but in exchange for such treatment, I was disheartened! You are all ministers of the DPRK and China, and you don't know how to teach me?"

The civil and military officials looked at each other, and no one spoke.

Lu Cong glanced at everyone, saw that no one answered, and said slowly, "Why don't you speak?"

The civil and military officials bowed their heads and were silent, and for a while, Jingzhao Yin Liu Tao walked out of it, and arched his hand and said: "Emperor Hui has died, and there is no owner in the world!" The minister thinks that Liu Xiong, the king of Wuqing, has the posture of an emperor, so it is better to invite him into the imperial city and become the new emperor, so as to show the loyalty of the prime minister. ”

Lu Cong asked: "If Liu Xiong is the enemy, there will be no waves in the matter of Emperor Hui slandering me?"

In fact, everyone knows that you are blackmailing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and the emperor can't control things at all, and you are the master of the entire court.

But no one dared to say it to their faces.

Sima Fa stood up and said loudly: "Dacheng's qi is exhausted, and there is no candidate for a Ming monarch in the royal family." The ministers watched the stars at night and saw that the star of Emperor Dacheng was dark and would be extinguished, and it was irretrievable. This time, after the beam, I saw a star suddenly rising, bright and abnormal, which was in response to the change of dynasty, which meant that the beam was prosperous. When the people of Liang got a vision from the sky, a star landed, and the book was completed, and the Lu family was prosperous. All kinds of signs should be the prime minister ascending the throne and becoming the emperor, and changing the dynasty can save the people of the world!"

Lu Yuan, who was beside him, waited for him to finish speaking, and immediately knelt down on one knee and shouted loudly: "The Prime Minister is destined to return, when he ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, change the dynasty!"

The faces of the civil and military officials at the scene all changed, although they had been mentally prepared for a long time, they were still too shocked to hear it with their own ears.

Only Lu Yuan knelt down and asked Lu Cong to ascend the throne, and no official echoed it.

Lu Cong looked around at the ministers and squinted slightly: "Although Dacheng's qi is about to run out, the prime minister has no intention of ascending the throne and becoming the emperor, this matter is not appropriate!"

Of course, he won't agree immediately, he still has to put his feet on his feet and refuse a few times first.

Sure enough, after he refused, Sima Fa stepped forward: "Today, no one except the prime minister can turn the tide and save the people of Li! And the will of heaven is like this, please follow the will of the people!"

"No, no!" Lu Cong waved his hand here and refused, but looked around at the civil and military officials, and saw that no one came out to echo, and his eyes were a little unkind.

At this moment, Jingzhao Yin Liu Tao said loudly: "Dacheng's qi is not exhausted, and if you instigate the prime minister to plot against the dynasty and usurp the throne, you will trap the prime minister in injustice, and you will be spurned by the people of the world! The prime minister must not listen to slanderous rumors, and only when the king of Wuqing is promoted as the emperor can he be convinced by the public!"

"Jing Zhaoyin!" Lu Yuan was furious when he heard this, and turned to shout at Liu Tao, "It must be you who accepted the benefits of Liu Xiong, the king of Wuqing, to talk nonsense here! Emperor Hui framed the prime minister and hurt his loyalty." The people of the royal family are ruthless and ungrateful!"

"General Zhengdong's instigation of the prime minister to usurp the throne is ill-intentioned!" Liu Tao said angrily, "You are for your own selfishness, and if you want to overthrow Dacheng Sheji, you will be scolded by the world!"

"Bold!!" Lu Yuan was furious, stepped forward with a halberd and stabbed Liu Tao to death directly, and looked around at the ministers, "Jing Zhaoyin has plotted against him, and he has been killed by this general!"

Seeing this situation, Da Honglu Feng Yi and Zong Zheng Cheng Jiang stood up and said in unison: "Even if Jing Zhaoyin loses his words, why bother to kill him? Since ancient times, he has been plotting to usurp the throne and is unpopular with the people, please think twice!"

"Please think twice!" several civil and military generals stood up in hesitation and followed suit.

Other officials were silent, no one spoke.

Lu Cong glanced at it, remembered Feng Yi, Cheng Jiang and the others who opposed it, and said with a sigh: "What you said is very true, the prime minister does not have the heart to be the emperor, he just wants to assist the society and benefit the people!"

As soon as the words fell, I saw the hussar general Zhou Hao rushing into the court with his soldiers, holding the golden crown and yellow robe in his hand, and said loudly: "Dacheng's qi has been exhausted, and it cannot be supported! When I woke up today, I saw a golden crown and a yellow robe. This is the order of Emperor You, and I dare not disobey him! Please inherit the will of Emperor You and plan for the people of the world!"

The hearts of the Chinese martial arts officials in the hall were very bright, what the ghost emperor dreamed, what the ghost emperor chan rang, all made up lies, and they were arranged in advance. It seems that no one can stop this matter, who dares to oppose it, Jingzhao Yin Liu Tao is a role model.

Although civil and military officials support Dacheng's orthodoxy, most of them still consider themselves to be Lu Cong's subordinates, even if they don't want Lu Cong to seek to usurp the throne, they have no choice in the face of such a situation.

Anyway, there are two endings, either support Lu Cong's reuse, or oppose Lu Cong's life is worrying.

In the face of such pressure, someone soon took the initiative to come out of the ranks, knelt down and shouted: "Dacheng's qi is exhausted, Emperor You's dream Zen let it, and Cheng is quite bearable!"

Lu Cong turned his head to look, and it was Yushi Lei He who spoke.

As long as someone takes the lead, the desire of other civil and military officials to survive will encourage them to follow suit.

Sure enough, Lei He's voice fell, and officials of all sizes, such as Taiwei Sun Ran, Shang Shufu Wang Jun, and Imperial Historian Pu Anmin, came out one after another and knelt down: "Please take the throne!"

"Crazy! You're all crazy!" Seeing this situation, Jiang Mu, the guard commander, couldn't help but stand up and say to Lu Cong, "Lu Cong, you forced Your Majesty to death, and now you want to usurp the throne and become the emperor, it's really hateful! It's even more ugly to arrange such a scene! You guts rats, who claim to be loyal to Dacheng, actually kneel down on their knees, it's ridiculous!"

"Jiang Mu, do you want to call for death?" Lu Yuan held up the folding plum halberd and scolded angrily.

"Huh!" Jiang Mu immediately drew his sword, "We are Dacheng's courtiers, how can we be thieves?

Several generals responded, as well as those officials who opposed Lu Cong's accession to the throne just now, and they all drew their swords and followed Jiang Mu to rush towards Lu Cong.

Lu Cong was not panicked, because Lu Yuan and Zhou Hao were guarding in front of him, and there were a large number of Praetorian Guards around him.

Sure enough, before Jiang Mu and the others rushed in front of Lu Cong, Lu Yuan danced the plum painting halberd, and with the strength of one person, he came over and killed them all. No one has been able to hold up a single move in Lu Yuan's hands!

The opponents were killed, the palace was filled with blood, and the other civil and military officials were silent.

Lu Yuan turned back, saluted Lu Cong and said respectfully: "The last general has already eliminated the traitors, please enthrone the prime minister!"

Zhou Hao immediately sent the golden crown and yellow robe to Lu Cong, and raised it respectfully: "Please change the prime minister's clothes!"

"The Prime Minister is destined for the world, for the sake of the people, please ascend the throne immediately and inherit the will of Emperor You!" Sima Fa also knelt down and asked for his life.

In the face of corpses everywhere, the remaining civil and military officials all shouted loudly: "Please take the throne!!"

Seeing this, Lu Cong was ecstatic in his heart, but he made an extremely reluctant expression on his face: "You and others are persecuting the true prime minister! How can the original prime minister be virtuous, how dare he ascend the throne and be the emperor?"

The hundred officials invited again, Lu Cong refused again, and after several consecutive times, he finally "helplessly" changed into a golden crown and yellow robe and sat on the emperor's exclusive unicorn seat. Looking down at the mighty unicorn beast embroidered, only the emperor can wear the unicorn yellow robe, and a feeling of controlling the world came to his heart.

When Lu Cong sat down on the unicorn seat, Lu Cong took the lead in bowing and shouting: "The prime minister conforms to the will of heaven and is the blessing of all the people in the world." ”

Sima Fa next to him said: "Now you should change your words! The minister respectfully asks His Majesty to ascend the throne and announce it to the world!"

Lu Yuan immediately changed his words: "The last general respectfully asks His Majesty to ascend the throne and announce it to the world!"

Seeing that the two of them changed their words, the hussar general Zhou Hao also hurriedly followed: "I respectfully invite Your Majesty to ascend the throne and announce it to the world!"

Whoever dared to oppose the civil and military officials called His Majesty Lu Cong in unison, echoed Sima Fa and the three of them, and asked Lu Cong to ascend the throne.

Lu Cong saw that the overall situation had been decided, so he looked around at the ministers and said loudly: "The matter has come to this point, the prime minister can only respect the wishes of the hundred officials! The prime minister must think of the world and be a good emperor!"
