Chapter 68: Usurpation

North Beam.

The crown prince Tuoba Yuan supervised the administration of the country.

On this day, news came from the battle report from the front that the 100,000-strong army of the Four-Nation Alliance Army was completely annihilated, and the root cause was that there was internal strife among various countries, which eventually led to mutual fighting.

Hearing this, Tuoba Yuan threw down the song in his hand and hurriedly asked, "Has Xiao Ju's secret been found?" ”

"The army has been destroyed, and Xiao Ju's secret is unknown here."

"What about Father?"

This is what Tuoba Yuan is most concerned about, if Tuoba Dazang dies, he can rightfully inherit the throne as the crown prince.

The man sighed and said, "Alas, Your Majesty unfortunately lost his life, he was beheaded by the Tubo national teacher, and there are no bones left. ”

Learned the news that Emperor Beiliang was dead.

Far from being sad, Tuoba Yuan let out a "giggle" laugh.

"Is this message ready?" Tuoba Yuan asked again.

"The minister has confirmed again and again that His Majesty did die in Suzhou."

After getting an affirmative answer, Tuoba Yuan no longer had to pretend, he breathed a sigh of relief, he had never been relieved, he had been suppressed for so many years, and finally had an open-mindedness to clear the clouds and see the blue sky.

"Come on, the palace will be ...... Oh no, bring up the widow's dragon robe. ”

The dragon robe, which symbolizes supreme power, Tuoba Yuan has long wanted to put it on, so he ordered someone to make one early.

I looked forward to it day and night, and finally waited for this day.

Following.

Tuoba Yuan directly wore a dragon robe and boarded the main hall, which attracted the discussion of hundreds of officials, and many people advised him to take it off quickly, in case this matter was known by Emperor Beiliang, it would be miserable.

He changed his previous submissiveness, and his waist stood up instantly.

"The battle report ahead, my father died in Suzhou and was killed by the Tubo people, and the country cannot be without a king for a day, this palace is the prince of Northern Liang, and he should inherit the throne, can you have any objections?"

When the hundred officials learned the news of the death of Emperor Beiliang in battle, the government and the opposition suddenly became a sensation, and the solemn political hall became as noisy as the vegetable market.

"Your Highness, don't dare to talk nonsense about this." Zai Fu Ye Liang stood up and said.

"What? Is Ye Xiang questioning the palace and spreading rumors? ”

Tuoba Yuan knew that Ye Liang was the confidant of Emperor Beiliang, and the old ministers of the previous dynasty would naturally not be reused in the eyes of the emperor of the present dynasty.

"The minister doesn't dare, the minister just thinks that this matter needs to be further determined, and besides, this time the four princes will go on the expedition with the car, so let's wait for his news." Ye Liang said.

Tuoba Yuan had already seen that he was unhappy, and said angrily: "Tuoba Hong? A useless waste, what do he do, is it possible for him to come back, and can his father be resurrected? ”

Without Emperor Beiliang, Tuoba Bodhisattva is also dead, and now in the country, no one can seize the throne with him.

As for Tuoba Invincible, he can't come back in the frontier, and when he comes back, it's too late.

"Your Highness......"

Ye Liang wanted to say something, but Tuoba Yuan didn't give him a chance at all: "Ye Xiang, you have dedicated yourself to the country for so many years, and this palace thinks that you should also enjoy the blessings." ”

The implication is that you're going to be forced to retire.

Ye Liang has been a Zaifu for decades, often accompanying Emperor Beiliang, and in these decades, he has never made any mistakes, even if he is responsible for the daily life of Emperor Beiliang, it can be said that he is comprehensive in everything.

All this is due to his strict requirements for himself, and even the number of steps to walk to the council hall every day must be prescribed, which is not bad at all.

And he assisted Emperor Beiliang in handling government affairs, which was even more orderly.

Now, the crown prince has not yet ascended the throne, and the first fire that came up burned on Ye Liang.

Ye Liang didn't say anything more, he just walked slowly to the center, kowtowed three times towards Tuoba Yuan, and said, "It's time for the old minister to rest, Your Highness take care." ”

After Ye Liang went offline, Tuoba Yuan made great strides in personnel transfers.

deposed a bunch of old ministers of the Northern Liang Emperor.

In less than a month, more than 50 officials have been retired or transferred from their posts.

What it means to perish first will surely make you crazy.

Tuoba Yuan's near-lethal behavior undoubtedly offended the anger of the public, and many people scolded him behind his back.

However, instead of feeling restrained, Tuoba Yuan said in public: "This group of shameless old things, this palace just transferred them from their jobs, and it is already a favor to not kill them." ”

"They shamelessly scolded me behind my back? What a bastard!! ”

In order to set an example, Tuoba Yuan captured two powerful ministers of the Northern Liang Emperor and beheaded them at the mouth of the vegetable market, so far, all dissatisfied voices have disappeared.

Everyone buried their anger in their hearts, and it only took a primer to explode.

And this introduction is: the edict of succession.

......

Since the Northern Liang Emperor is dead, Tuoba Yuan wants to inherit the throne logically, but he also wants to announce it to the world, thinking that no one will come back after the destruction of the whole army, and naturally there will be no edict to inherit the throne.

So, Tuoba Yuan chose an auspicious day to hold the enthronement ceremony.

Everything is ready to go.

On the day of the enthronement ceremony, Tuoba Yuan wore a dragon robe and walked on the dragon road dedicated to the emperor in the imperial city.

"The time has come, and the enthronement ceremony begins!!"

When Si Tianjian counted the time and shouted out the beginning of the ceremony, the entire imperial city ceremonial music sounded, and the drums resounded through the heavens and the earth.

Tuoba Yuan took the steps that his six relatives did not recognize, and the throne that he had longed for many years was about to be within reach.

But just when Si Tianjian announced that Tuoba Yuan would succeed him as the new emperor, the sound of horses' hooves came.

The fourth prince Tuoba Hong appeared at the enthronement ceremony.

Seeing this, Tuoba Yuan frowned and said, "Tuoba Yuan, what do you want to do?" ”

"Second brother! Before your father's bones are cold, you are in a hurry to succeed to the throne, which is really filial enough. ”

A waste also talked to himself, and Tuoba Yuan said angrily: "Come on, beat this waste out of the mess, don't let him defile the widow's enthronement ceremony." ”

The forbidden army instantly surrounded them.

But at this time, Tuoba Hong suddenly took out the yellow scroll and held it high in his hand and showed it to everyone.

"The edict of the first emperor is here, and the hundred officials still kneel!!"

The moment he saw the edict, Tuoba Yuan instantly had an ominous premonition.

The next moment, hundreds of officials knelt down, but Tuoba Yuan stood and did not kneel.
