Tai Chi Temple.

Hundreds of civil and military officials entered the palace and waited, but today's mood is very different from the past.

Most of the fighting last night was concentrated in the mansions of the powerful, and even if some people didn't know what was going on, they also knew that the imperial capital must have undergone drastic changes.

On the way to the palace, as well as when waiting in the waiting hall, I also found some breath through some acquaintances.

Coupled with the much empty court hall and the absence of some key figures, many people have a feeling of numbness in their scalps.

On top of that, the forbidden army guarding the palace was also replaced by an army in unfamiliar costumes, which had to give rise to a frightening guess - last night, I am afraid that someone mutinied!

This was the reaction of most of the court officials, and at this moment, their minds were shrouded in surprise and uneasiness.

Of course, there is also a small group of people who are different, they are either the core of the Great General's lineage, and they know or even participated in last night's events, so they are extremely excited.

Either they have learned the truth of the matter through their eyes, ears or relationships, and they have a plan in their hearts, so they are calmer.

After what seemed like a long wait, but it was actually very short, a feminine and tender shout finally sounded.

"Hundreds of officials meet ~"

The ministers subconsciously knelt on the ground and bowed their heads, and after kneeling, they realized the abnormality.

Because this voice is very unfamiliar, it is not Zuo Zhi's timbre at all.

Someone had the audacity to raise their eyes and peek, and what they saw was a middle-aged eunuch who had never seen before, and he seemed to be holding something in his hands.

At the same time, Xia Ao walked out of the royal road behind the screen step by step and stood in front of the dragon chair.

"Ministers, tell you a very unfortunate news......

Hearing Xia Ao's voice, all the court officials looked up in a daze, and when they saw Xia Ao wearing a black dragon robe that was different from the previous golden imperial robe, and standing on the royal steps with a crown on his head, they were all shocked.

"Last night, the crown prince Xia Chang, Prime Minister He Kun and the third prince secretly colluded with Feng Lian, the commander of the forbidden army, to plot to assassinate the former emperor in order to assist the prince to ascend the throne as soon as possible."

"Fortunately, Zuo Zhi, the eunuch in charge of the palace, sent the news in time and sent someone to secretly bring the holy decree to let Lone enter the palace and Qin Huang. Although Lone successfully suppressed a group of thieves, the first emperor was murdered by them on the spot! ”

Speaking of this, Xia Ao showed a sad look on his face, wiped away his non-existent tears, and changed his tone.

"However, the emperor made an edict in time, Zhao Gu ascended the throne, and handed over the edict and the jade seal to the eunuch Zuo Zhi and the eunuch Zhao Gao of the palm seal for safekeeping."

"The left palm hall fulfilled his duties and desperately protected the edict, but unfortunately he still failed to survive to the end, only Zhao Zhangyin fought out of the encirclement with the edict and the jade seal."

At this point, Xia Ao's expression suddenly became solemn, and the sadness in his eyes was replaced by fortitude and majesty.

"The country cannot be without a king for a day, and it is worth the time of the fierce war with Dajin, therefore, Lone is determined to obey the edict of the previous emperor, and he will ascend the throne today, everything is simple!"

"Please also ask Zongzheng and the hussar general to come forward to verify the authenticity of the edict."

Xia Ao's voice fell, and Zhao Gaodang walked down the imperial stairs even with the edict in his hand.

Zongzheng Xia Hanlin frowned, since the entire palace had fallen into the hands of the six princes last night, and Zuo Zhi and the others had died, how could the so-called edict be fake?

This so-called verification of authenticity is meaningless at all.

It's just that what can be done now?

Now that the six princes have successfully controlled the imperial capital, and there are generals outside who control the main army, questioning and opposing will only lead to death!

Especially since he had offended the six princes before, if he dared to have a different voice, I am afraid it would not be his death alone!

Moreover, only this sixth prince is left among the princes of the right age now, and if he supports other young princes to ascend the throne, it will only cause more trouble.

As soon as he thought of this, Xia Hanlin sighed secretly, got up and walked forward with an expressionless face.

On the other side, the hussar general Chadron had stepped forward first, and it seemed that he had been mentally prepared.

The two stared at the so-called "edict" for a long time, glanced at each other, and then took a deep look at Xia Ao on the imperial steps, and then turned to face the hundred officials.

"After inspection, the handwriting is indeed written by the emperor himself, and the edict is true!"

After the announcement, the two walked back to the train with expressionless faces.

At this time, an old minister suddenly stood up and stared at Xia Ao angrily.

"Sixth Highness, you don't make sense! The crown prince is the prince appointed by His Majesty, and he will ascend the throne sooner or later, how can he do such a rebellious thing? ”

As the man came up, others continued to stand up.

"Not bad! Your Majesty is already critically ill, to put it mildly, Your Majesty Bintian is a matter of the past few days, how could the prince murder Your Majesty in order to ascend the throne a few days earlier?! ”

"Definitely! Sixth Highness, you are a mutiny! ”

"The Sixth Prince, Your Majesty and the Crown Prince both died at your hands, right? How can you kill your father and brother for the throne? You are rebellious, disloyal and unfilial! After doing such a rebellious and tyrannical thing, what kind of face will you have in the future to face my ancestors and ancestors of Great Xia?! ”

"You wicked tyrant! Son of Man in vain! ”

In the face of the doubts and abuses of eight or nine hardened ministers, Xia Ao was always expressionless, but his eyes were as cold as an abyss.

"Dare to question the edict of the emperor and abuse Yu Gu, it is not small."

"Come, drag out of the noon gate and behead the public! In addition, copy the family and destroy the nationality to set an example! ”

As soon as Xia Ao's voice fell, Yuwen Chengdu immediately led a team of Xiaoguo troops to rush in, suppressing and binding them all out.

Hearing Xia Ao's handling of these stubborn officials, the other court officials all felt chills in their hearts and looked terrified.

Not only cut off the head, but even raid the house, this is too ruthless!

You know, there's even a Shangshu in there!

In addition to being frightened, no one dared to stand up again.

【Ding! You are unquestionable, stubborn and self-serving, and ordered the beheading of nine court officials to raid their homes, and the overbearing value is +1800]

When the shouting and scolding were gone, Zhao Gao read out the edict in the palace.

After that, Xia Ao turned around and walked to the dragon chair step by step, with a faint look of excitement in his eyes.

After turning around and sitting on the dragon chair, with his hands on the armrests of the dragon's head, Xia Ao's expression gradually became indifferent, and he secretly launched the two-star Liu Bang template, which stimulated the characteristics of the king's wind.

At this time, the hearts of the civil and military officials were shocked, and they felt that Xia Ao at this moment was infinitely majestic, like a natural emperor, which made people dare not give birth to the slightest disobedience, and even many people had awe and respect from the bottom of their hearts.

It's inexplicable, but it's real.

"Bye!"

As Zhao Gao shouted, all the officials kowtowed.

"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"

On the dragon chair, Xia Ao looked down at the hundreds of officials in the hall who were prostrate and kowtowed, and couldn't help but have a feeling of seeing all living beings at a glance and being at the peak of my own dignity.

Raising his hand slightly, Xia Ao spoke indifferently.

"Zhongqing is flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
