Chapter 361: The New Monarch Ascends the Throne
Everything that happened in Wang Jinghui's mansion was also happening in the homes of other officials in the court at this moment.
Compared with the difficulty of arresting Wang Xinwen, the weakness of other officials' families can be said to be easy and freehand.
When the night came, the clean-up mission finally came to an end.
The entire martial prison also ushered in the busiest and most lively time.
Under Su Yu's arrangement, the people in the martial prison deliberately took out the Jianghu warriors who committed the crime and tortured them.
The terrible screams resounded throughout the prison, which deepened the fear in the hearts of these boys, and they were all so frightened that they couldn't stop crying, shouting to let their grandfather or father, who was an official in the court, come to save them.
Su Yu did not prevent his family members from coming to visit relatives, after all, the main purpose was to force the civil and military officials in the court to submit.
Now it's a show for the families of civil and military officials, but if they don't cooperate in the court tomorrow, then the fake show will be done.
After the family visits, they all returned to their respective houses with heavy hearts, and it was inevitable that they would have to cry with the family members in the house about the tragic scenes in the military prison.
"Master, you must save Rui'er, that martial prison is simply not a place for people to stay, that is the eighteenth layer of hell, if Rui'er has three longs and two shorts, I won't live."
"Master, please find a way to rescue Ning'er, Ning'er ate in the restaurant three years ago, and then forgot to settle the bill because of negligence, and the people of Zhenwusi arrested him and sent him to the martial prison, and Ning'er will not die for a meal."
"Master, don't you know, the way the prisoners are interrogated in the martial arts prison is simply outrageous, if Ming'er is tortured by the martial arts prison, how can Kang'er have suffered this kind of hardship all these years, he will die."
"Master"
“.”
This night is destined to cause many people to lose sleep completely.
In the early morning of the next day, the civil and military officials, who had not slept all night after being tossed by their family members at home, had bloodshot eyes, black bags under their eyes, and their faces looked extremely tired, as if they had not slept for two or three nights after overwork.
Last night was undoubtedly an unusually torment for them.
As the head of the family, you not only have to worry about how your 'weakness' is doing in the martial prison, but also endure the constant crying of your family members at home
Now that they finally stayed up until dawn, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
As the old fritters in the court, they naturally know that Zhenwu Si came to arrest people.
This is the desperate plan that Wei Lianyi came up with!
It's also a naked conspiracy!
Forcibly press their heads down and force them to recognize her as emperor!
The civil and military officials washed up at home, and then went out to ride the carriage and drove slowly in the direction of the palace.
The carriage stopped at the noon gate, and the officials came out of the carriage, met with other officials who knew each other in the court, and then walked together in the direction of the palace.
Everyone's foreheads were constricted, and after greeting each other with a forced smile, they talked about the changes that had happened last night.
"Lord Lu, your child was also captured by the people of Zhenwu Division?"
"But no, the people of the Zhenwu Division surrounded my family, saying that my kid was molesting folk girls on the street five years ago, you also know, Han Qing was only seven years old five years ago, and he molested folk girls on the street, isn't this a joke?"
"What did the people from the town Takeshi say?"
"The people of Zhenwusi said that Han Qing was playing hide and seek on the street with his playmates five years ago, and then touched the leg of a passing girl, and now the woman came to Zhenwusi to report the case, and then Hanqing was arrested."
"Alas, the situation of my family is similar to yours, the people of the town Wusi said, my kid took a stone on the street ten years ago and threw a beggar, and now the beggar came to the door to seek justice, and then my kid who didn't make it was also taken to the Zhenwu Division for detention, I said all the good things, and said that it would not work to compensate a hundred times, by the way, where did this beggar come from in Tai'an City, I think it is clearly the town Wusi made something out of nothing"
"The third princess is too much, how can she condone the people of Zhenwu Division to do such a thing?"
"Hehe, Lord Lin, maybe this matter is secretly promoted by the third princess."
"The third princess really doesn't talk about martial arts, there is a good saying, if you don't have a family, you will come to us if you have anything, and threaten our family, what kind of hero?"
"Hehe, as a woman, the third princess really doesn't have to be a hero."
“.”
In whispers, the civil and military officials walked all the way to the direction of the Taihe Palace.
When the civil and military officials stepped into the Taihe Palace, they immediately stopped talking to each other, and their eyes involuntarily looked towards Wang Jinghui and Huo Yu in the court.
Now that Wei Lianyi has made a move, it is now up to the two of them to take the move.
Either one of the eldest prince and one of the second princes ascends the throne, and then deposes Wei Lianyi from the position of suppression of the martial arts of Jingzhou Town, and then releases the weakness of the civil and military officials in the court.
Either Wei Lianyi takes the throne, and then she releases the people.
But in any case, this battle for the new monarch may be decided in today's early court.
Wang Jinghui and Huo Yu both closed their eyes slightly, quietly waiting for the beginning of the early dynasty.
Both of them were visited by Zhen Wuji at home, and then the two of them almost didn't rest, and they got together to discuss again.
Obviously, the two of them also know very well that this war, which has no smoke in the court, will have a result today.
Although Wei Lianyi visited most of the homes of the military officials in the court.
But for the two of them, it was far from enough to make them lose the competition.
And today's dispute in the court has finally come to an end.
Now it's up to us to see who's better.
"The Queen Mother has arrived!"
At this moment, with a shout, Wu Yuanxuan, who was wearing a filial piety uniform, walked into the main hall accompanied by Wei Lianyi.
Seeing Wu Yuanxuan's arrival, Wang Jinghui and Huo Yu frowned.
It seems that Wu Yuanxuan also realized that today's early dynasty will elect a new monarch, and her arrival must be to give Wei Lianyi a strong momentum.
Wang Jinghui and Huo Yu glanced at each other, and then both nodded quietly.
This battle for the new monarch should also be divided into winners and losers in today's court.
After the kung fu of a cup of tea, hundreds of civil and military officials gathered in the Taihe Palace.
"Lord Shoufu, since the people have arrived, let's start today's early dynasty."
Wu Yuanxuan looked at Wang Jinghui below and said slowly.
"Yes."
Wang Jinghui responded, and then climbed all the way to the high platform, stood in front of the throne, and said loudly: "It has been more than three days since the death of the first emperor. ”
"In order to elect a new king, civil and military officials have also made suggestions."
"The old man, as the first assistant of the Great Wei, temporarily presided over the government on behalf of the emperor, and he also knew that the election of the new monarch could not be delayed any longer."
"After going back last night, the old minister was full of thoughts, in order to avoid turmoil in this new monarch's dispute, and in order to avoid the bloodshed of this new monarch's dispute, he decided to vote for the final new monarch by voting for hundreds of military officials in the court."
"Now Lao Chen announces that the voting for the election of the new monarch has officially begun!"
"The prince who occupies half of the votes in the court is the new monarch of Great Wei!"
"Now please raise your hand to support the civil and military officials of the Great Prince!"
As Wang Jinghui finished speaking, the silent needle drop in the entire court hall could be heard.
Everyone looked at each other, waiting for the first supporter to come forward.
Wei Lianyi's pretty face was a little cold, and she just watched all this coldly.
Of course, she knew that just by arresting the precious son and grandson of this court's military officials and putting them in the military prison, there was no way to force these people to comply.
What Wang Jinghui said now also confirmed her guess.
Wang Jinghui has given up on continuing to consume, but is ready to forcibly put the eldest prince on the throne in today's morning court in a quick way to cut through the chaos.
In this way, when the eldest prince ascends the throne, she can be removed from the post of Wusi Zhenfu in Jingzhou Town, and then help her own people to take the position, and then release the sons and brothers who were arrested in the military prison last night one by one.
"Ahem."
Huo Yu coughed dryly, then raised his hand and said slowly: "The eldest and youngest are orderly, the enthronement of the eldest prince is the destiny of heaven, and Weichen supports the enthronement of the eldest prince!" ”
Wow!
Hearing that Huo Yu chose to support the eldest prince's accession to the throne, the court suddenly fell into an uproar.
Many people's faces were full of disbelief.
Huo Yu, as a supporter of the second prince, now he has taken the lead in standing up and choosing to support the eldest prince, it can be seen that in this battle for the new prince, the third princess Wei Lianyi has forced Huo Yu into the camp of the eldest prince, and gathered the civil and military factions to deal with the third princess together.
"It seems that this battle for the new monarch will end with the eldest prince succeeding to the throne of the new monarch."
Such a thought involuntarily appeared in everyone's hearts.
Now that both the civil and military factions support the eldest prince, the third princess Wei Lianyi naturally has no hope.
Especially Wei Lianyi took advantage of his position last night to order people to arrest and imprison their sons-in-law, and the civil and military officials even complained in their hearts.
I also happened to take this opportunity to make it clear that this was already a position that had been decided in the overall situation, so as to avoid the liquidation of the eldest prince after his accession to the throne.
As Huo Yu was the first to stand up, a second person immediately stood up again.
"The minister supports the enthronement of the eldest prince!"
"The minister supports the enthronement of the eldest prince!"
"The minister supports the enthronement of the eldest prince!"
"The minister supports the enthronement of the eldest prince!"
“.”
For a time, the civil and military officials in the court raised their hands one after another and supported the eldest prince's accession to the throne.
When all the civil and military officials chose to support the eldest prince's accession to the throne, the eldest prince Wei Zongyuan's face already had an irrepressible ecstasy.
Now he is only one step away from the throne.
As for the second prince Wei Zongyue, a trace of loneliness flashed on his face.
However, after knowing the results last night, he didn't show much disappointment.
After all, he occupied the two states of Guwu as the king at the same time, except for the low Wei Zongyuan, he did not live the life of the emperor in the fief.
Such a result is not unacceptable to him.
"Ahem."
Seeing that all the civil and military officials raised their hands and chose to support the eldest prince's accession to the throne, Wang Jinghui looked around and said loudly: "Since all the civil and military officials have chosen to support the succession of the eldest prince Wei Zongyuan, the old minister announced that the new candidate for the new monarch this time is the eldest prince Wei Zong."
"Slow!"
However, before Wang Jinghui could finish speaking, Wei Lianyi had already interrupted what he was going to say later.
Everyone's eyes fell on Wei Lianyi's body at this moment.
Wang Jinghui's eyes flashed with a hint of essence, and then said, "I wonder if the third princess has anything else to say?" ”
At this moment, facing the eyes of everyone in the court, Wei Lianyi's wrist flipped, and there was already an extra holy decree in his hand.
"During the reconstruction of the imperial palace, the people below accidentally found this edict written by the emperor in his father's bedchamber."
Wei Lianyi said loudly: "On this edict, my father has drawn up the candidate for the next new monarch!" ”
Wow!
At this moment, the civil and military officials fell into an uproar again.
This edict undoubtedly exceeded everyone's expectations.
Wang Jinghui and Huo Yu glanced at each other, and their faces were a little ugly.
This sudden change undoubtedly caught both of them off guard.
The smile on the face of the eldest prince in the court also stiffened at this moment.
The feeling of suspense after the overall situation has been decided is not pleasant, just like a graceful woman swaying in front of her, but she can never catch up......
At Wei Lianyi's signal, a father-in-law stepped forward, took the edict and began to read it.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said:
Since I ascended the throne, I have governed the country for a long time, and finally the deadline, all the important affairs of the military state, the employment of people and administration, have not been tired of diligence, and dare not be self-indulgent.
The third princess, Wei Lianyi, has outstanding intelligence and excellent quality, and should inherit the throne and succeed the country.
Since my death, the third princess, Wei Lianyi, is the new emperor, ruling the people and writing a new chapter.
I also have high hopes for the eldest prince Wei Zongyuan and the second prince Wei Zongyue.
The eldest prince, Wei Zongyuan, was established as a virtuous king and a fief of Guzhou.
The second prince, Wei Zongyue, was established as King Yu and fiefdom Wuzhou.
It is hoped that the two kings can put the country first, assist the new emperor, and make the country prosperous.
Announce to the world, make salty make hear it, admire this! ”
Wow.
The content of the edict caused a riot again among the people in the court.
Huo Yu took a step forward and said loudly: "Third princess, Wei Chen dares to say something offensive, this edict did not appear in His Majesty's relics when he was dealing with His Majesty's future affairs before, but now it suddenly appeared, Wei Chen has reason to suspect that someone wrote the edict privately."
Now, regardless of whether this edict is true or not, the civil and military officials have to say that it is false, and then elect the new monarch at their own pace.
And what is the significance of the authenticity of this edict?
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
After Huo Yu finished speaking, an official immediately stood up and echoed.
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
“.”
In the court, civil and military officials questioned one after another.
Wei Lianyi said lightly: "If you doubt the authenticity of the edict, you can identify its authenticity!" ”
After speaking, Wei Lianyi looked at Wang Jinghui and said, "Lord Shoufu, since the first emperor took office, it was you who assisted, and you must also recognize the handwriting of the first emperor." ”
"Since all the civil and military officials doubt the authenticity of the edict, it is up to you to conduct the identification."
A father-in-law stepped forward, took the edict, and then walked quickly to Wang Jinghui and handed the edict over.
This edict is naturally not true, after all, Wei Jin would never have thought that he would one day encounter a rebellion.
Wei Lianyi drafted this edict in order to prevent the civil and military factions in the court from joining forces to deal with her.
Her guess was not wrong, the civil and military factions really came together.
And she can use this edict to overturn the chessboard and forcibly succeed to the throne by force!
Wang Jinghui took the holy decree, and just by looking at it, he knew that the handwriting of the holy decree was wrong, and there was not even a seal.
He immediately realized that Wei Lianyi was probably about to turn his face.
However, thinking of everything he discussed with Huo Yu last night, Wang Jinghui couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
Third princess, you are too tender after all.
In this battle for the new king, I won after all.
"Lord Shousuke, is this edict true or false?"
Wei Lianyi said lightly.
Facing everyone's eyes, Wang Jinghui said loudly: "After identification, the handwriting of this edict is not written by His Majesty himself!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Wang Jinghui looked at Wei Lianyi and said in a deep voice: "Third princess, you are really guilty of pretending to pass on the edict and trying to disturb the new monarch's accession to the throne!" ”
"As the first assistant, how can Wei Chen let you mess with the dynasty?"
"Commander of the Green Dragon, Commander of the Vermilion Bird, quickly take down the three princesses!"
At this time, the figures of Yuan Xian and Huang Zhenkai had already appeared on the Taihe Hall at some point.
The faces of the civil and military officials in the court all changed, as if they didn't expect that Wang Jinghui would pull Yuan Xian and Huang Jinkai into his camp.
This was undoubtedly a surprise to everyone.
At the same time, everyone also faintly realized that this battle for the new monarch was finally coming to an end.
The dispute between the new monarch can be said to have involved everyone in the court.
Everyone is now physically and mentally exhausted, and they just want to end it quickly, and then let Zhen Wuji release their own people.
"Third princess, we don't want to make a move on you, you can come with us."
Yuan Xian said with a somewhat complicated expression.
He and Huang Zhenkai had no intention of participating in this battle for the throne before, but Wang Jinghui found the two of them last night, and Xu successfully pulled the two into his camp at the cost of five times the cultivation resources compared to before every month in the future.
This also made the two of them think about the impact of the Divine Hidden Realm.
In order to further their cultivation, the two decided to take a gamble!
is also serving in the Zhenwu Division, but now he has to face Wei Lianyi, Yuan Xian and Huang Zhenkai also have mixed feelings in their hearts.
The two of them also knew very well that Wei Lianyi already had the cultivation of the Hidden Dragon Realm, and with the secret method of Reigning in the World, she could already make her cultivation enter the Soul Palace Realm for a short time.
If she used the phoenix dance bracelet in her hand, then the two of them could only watch her run away.
It's just that the purpose of the two of them this time is to help the eldest prince succeed to the throne smoothly.
As for arresting Wei Lianyi, or letting Wei Lianyi escape, in fact, the nature is almost the same.
Even the two of them hoped that Wei Lianyi would run away directly to avoid the two sides fighting.
Seeing the appearance of Huang Zhenkai and Yuan Xian, Wei Lianyi seemed to have expected it, and said slowly: "Yuan Xian, Huang Zhenkai, as the commanders of Qinglong and Suzaku of the Zhenwu Division, what you have done in the past is in the eyes of this palace. ”
"If the two of you retreat like this, this palace can have the right to act as if this incident did not happen."
"If the two of them dare to make a move on the palace today, don't blame the palace for not talking about the friendship of colleagues!"
Wei Lianyi's words made everyone in the court change their faces in unison.
How dare she, a martial artist of the Hidden Dragon Realm, say such a thing in front of two martial artists of the Soul Palace Realm?
Even Yuan Xian and Huang Zhenkai couldn't help frowning at this moment.
Where did she get the confidence to say this without fear?
Could it be that the forces secretly cultivated by the former emperor have been taken over by her?
However, in front of so many people, the two of them naturally couldn't be cowardly.
Yuan Xian and Huang Zhenkai glanced at each other, both nodded, and then their figures flashed and went straight to Wei Lianyi.
However, just when the two of them came to Wei Lianyi, ready to restrain him.
A father-in-law standing beside Wei Lianyi stepped out with his right foot, and his figure disappeared.
When he reappeared, he was already standing in front of Yuan Xian and Huang Zhenkai like ghosts.
He is the clone of Su Yu who is guarded by Wei Lianyi's father-in-law.
Since they have all arrested the heirs of the civil and military officials in the military prison, how can Su Yu rest assured that Wei Lianyi will face the civil and military officials alone in the court.
And the result was the same as he expected, Wang Jinghui had secretly established a relationship with Yuan Xian and Huang Zhenkai.
However, now he already has the strength to wrestle with the martial artists of the Soul Palace Realm.
With the Heavenly Dao Jade in his hand that has the ability to shrink the ground into a ruler, he already has the strength to not be afraid of Yuan Xian and Huang Zhenkai!
It can even be said that he already has the power to instantly kill the Soul Palace Realm martial artist.
Yuan Xian and Huang Jinkai didn't even react, and made a decision to use their body protection qi to resist Su Yu's attack.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Su Yu's fists were handed out, and they were heavily imprinted on Yuan Xian and Huang Zhenkai's chests and abdomen, and two dull sounds sounded.
"Poof."
"Poof."
Yuan Xian and Huang Zhenkai each spurted out a mouthful of blood, and then the whole person smashed like a cannonball in the direction of the outside of the main hall.
The ground that had just been repaired with white jade bricks smashed out a large pit several feet in diameter again.
The two of them scrambled to their feet, their faces showing a deep look of horror.
Obviously, both of them are clearly aware that the other party has just left his hand.
The speed of the other party is simply numb.
At the moment when neither of them had time to resist just now, if the other party's fist came towards the heads of the two of them, it would be enough to kill the two of them on the spot in the Taihe Palace.
Thinking about that night, Cao Zhen intended to capture Wu Yuanxuan as a hostage, but was killed on the spot by a mysterious person.
The two immediately realized that this person was likely to be the master who guarded Wu Yuanxuan that night and killed Cao Zhen!
"Yuan Xian, Huang Zhenkai, you two deceived the king, thinking that the two of you are a first-time offender, this palace can spare the lives of the two of you, if there is a next time, it will be severely punished!"
Wei Lianyi looked at the two people outside the hall and said slowly.
"Yes!"
Yuan Xian and Huang Zhenkai's hearts were full of bitterness, and they responded with their fists clenched.
The speed shown by the other party made the two of them not even have the mind to continue to do it.
Wei Lianyi looked at Wang Jinghui again, and then said lightly: "Wang Jinghui, the first emperor personally wrote the edict, but you said that it was a false edict, in vain to try to temporarily replace the government and chaos with the first assistant when the new monarch was not established, the intention is sinister, it is really in vain to be entrusted by the emperor, the crime is extremely evil, the palace has reason to suspect that you are a member of the organization who infiltrated the court in the year, intending to steal the country!" ”
"Come on, take down Wang Jinghui and put him in a military prison for strict interrogation!"
"Yes!"
Someone immediately stepped forward and dragged Wang Jinghui, who was gray and discouraged, to the outside of the court.
Since Yuan Xian and Huang Zhenkai were both defeated in an instant, Wang Jinghui had already chuckled in his heart, knowing that the general trend had gone.
Coupled with the various persecutions he secretly sent to the third princess before, now that Wei Lianyi is in power, he can already guess his future ending
"I can't do it, it's destiny!"
Wang Jinghui suddenly broke free from the guards' custody, and then laughed loudly as if crazy: "Wei Lianyi, as a woman succeeding to the throne, you will definitely not end well, and the foundation of the Great Wei for more than 500 years may fall apart, haha." ”
As soon as the words fell, Wang Jinghui suddenly ran a few steps and crashed into Qi Nan, who supported the dome on the hall, and was out of breath on the spot.
Looking at Wang Jinghui in the blood-stained hall, Su Yu couldn't help but be a little surprised, this old guy is still a little bloody.
After all, he entered the martial prison, and the fate that was waiting for him was not so simple.
Wei Lianyi's pretty face was a little blue, his eyes looked around, and then said: "Now that there is the edict of the former emperor here, this palace will succeed to the position of the new monarch, can anyone oppose the civil and military officials?" ”
The civil and military officials all looked at each other, and none of them spoke.
Wang Jinghui has died, and the Wen school has lost its backbone.
In addition, the sons and brothers of their respective families were also locked up in the martial prison, and Yuan Xian, the commander of Qinglong, and Huang Jinkai, the commander of Suzaku, had already regained their allegiance to Wei Lianyi.
Can they still object?
In the end, everyone's eyes looked at Huo Yu in the court.
Facing everyone's eyes, Huo Yu took a deep breath, then bowed with his fists and said in a deep voice: "Respectfully invite the new monarch to succeed to the throne!" ”
Seeing that Huo Yudu had already pinched his nose and admitted the matter, the others also echoed their words: "Respectfully ask the new monarch to succeed to the throne!" ”
When Wei Lianyi sat on the throne on the high platform with a solemn face, the civil and military officials in the audience knelt on the ground one after another, shouting: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”
Wei Lianyi's gaze swept over the civil and military officials, and then looked towards the morning sun that had slowly risen outside the main hall.
The morning sun gradually washed away the redness, revealing a golden light, sprinkled on the court, smearing a beautiful scene, as if it was also welcoming the succession of the new monarch.
She glanced at Su Yu, who was disguised as her father-in-law, who also smiled at her and nodded.
Su Yu, thank you.
Wei Lianyi said secretly in his heart.
She knew very well that without Su Yu's advice and military support, she would never have been able to sit in this position.
In her mind, she couldn't help flashing the scenes of the two since they got acquainted, as if they reappeared yesterday.
"Father, don't worry, your son will take care of this family and this country for you!"
Wei Lianyi muttered in a low voice in his heart, his gaze slowly became firm, and then said loudly: "Zhong Aiqing is flat!" ”
(End of chapter)
