On the gate of the imperial city of the Shengtian Dynasty, the second prince and the prime minister He Shizhong were tied into zongzi and knelt at the highest place, and a large number of ordinary people gathered around the city gate.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said that the second prince intended to kill his father and brother, plot rebellion, and provoke civil strife and strife in the Shengtian Dynasty, and he is the sinner of the Shengtian Dynasty's royal family, from today the second prince Qin Zhong was expelled from the Shengtian Dynasty royal family, and his crimes were heinous, and now he was beheaded above the city gate to show the public, and his henchmen and prime ministers were guilty of the same crime and beheaded together!"

Zhang Zhongxiao, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, took the holy decree and read it in front of all the people.

After Zhang Zhongxiao read out the holy decree, the surrounding people immediately smashed things at the second prince and the prime minister above the city gate.

"You two bastards who ruined the peace of the Shengtian Dynasty, hurry up and die!"

"The bastard who killed his father and brother, you just wait for the stench for 10,000 years!"

"Our Shengtian Dynasty was invaded by the Golden Autumn Kingdom, you two bastards didn't resist the foreign enemy, and even engaged in internal fighting in your own home, and you are innocent!"

“......”

rotten eggs, rotten cabbage...... A lot of things smashed on the second prince and the prime minister, and the royal guards next to them all dodged away to avoid being affected, and no one took pity on these two bastards.

By the time the people had finished venting, the two of them had almost been buried in the rotten vegetable pile, and the sour smell had almost smoked them to death.

At this time, Zhang Zhongxiao said to the soldiers who were beheading next to him: "Okay, it's time to send them to hell." ”

Then the two soldiers walked behind the second prince and the prime minister and raised the butcher knife in their hands.

In the eyes of the second prince and the prime minister, there is only remorse and fear, and it is the fear of death.

Click!

With two crisp sounds, the heads of the second prince and the prime minister rolled off the city wall, and when they fell to the ground, they were taken away by two dogs that suddenly appeared.

Seeing this scene, the people had only one thought in their hearts, that is, they deserved it.

After the second prince was beheaded, the weakened emperor walked to the city wall with the support of Qin Shan.

He glanced at the people under the city wall, and said to the people with all his might: "Dear people of the Shengtian Dynasty, my life is coming to an end, and it is my regret that I have not been able to let everyone live a better life, but I have passed the throne to the crown prince Qin Shan, I believe in his ability, he will definitely lead the Shengtian Dynasty to be more prosperous, I hope you can assist him and create a brilliant ...... of the Shengtian Dynasty."

"Long live the new emperor, long live, long live!" the people all knelt down to Qin Shan in their hearts.

"Get up, and listen to my father's words first. Qin Shan beckoned to the people below and said.

The Emperor coughed a few times and continued, "I know that the Shengtian Dynasty will encounter all kinds of disasters in the future, but I believe that you will all survive, and I wish all the people happiness...... cough cough cough ......"

Having said this, the emperor began to cough incessantly, and then spit blood incessantly.

Qin Shan next to him hurriedly conveyed true qi to the emperor, but the emperor pushed Qin Shan's hand away and said: "The effect of the life-sustaining pill has ended, and your transmission of true qi to me will make me even more painful, Shan'er, I believe that you will be a good emperor in the future, and I am already content to have a son like you......"

At this point, a smile curled up at the corner of the emperor's mouth, and then his body slowly fell.

Qin Shan held the emperor's body, and his eyes were full of sadness.

"Father!" Qin Shan raised his head to the sky and let out a long roar, and his loud voice echoed almost throughout the imperial city.

"Your Majesty!!" The people under the city wall all knelt down to see off the emperor.

The emperor died, and the entire imperial city was enveloped in an atmosphere of sadness.

At this time, Yue Zhijian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, walked up to Qin Shan and knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the death of the first emperor is the sorrow of the country, but now that the Shengtian Dynasty is suffering from internal and external troubles, Your Majesty must cheer up and take charge of the overall situation, and the first thing to do is to drive away the invader Jin Qiu Kingdom, otherwise our Shengtian Dynasty will suffer a heavy blow." ”

Qin Shan naturally understood that the situation was urgent now, and there was no time to even grieve there.

Qin Shan took a deep breath, and then said to Yue Zhijian with a serious face: "Yue Zhijian listens to the order, I now appoint you as the prime minister of the Shengtian Dynasty, and immediately arrange a state funeral for the former emperor, in addition, all the ministers who support the second goods will be abolished, and you will personally select others to fill the position!"

Hearing Qin Shan's words, Yue Zhijian's face was full of disbelief, he didn't expect Qin Shan to directly promote him to prime minister, that was a big official above 10,000 people under one person, and almost the entire court was in charge of important ministers.

Yue Zhijian knew that this was Qin Shan's trust in him, and he was so grateful to Qin Shan that he wanted to do things.

Yue Zhijian kowtowed heavily to Qin Shan, and said sonorously: "Weichen leads the order! Thank you for Your Majesty's trust, even if Weichen does his best, he will do a good job of what His Majesty has assigned!"

"Okay, no more nonsense, let's go and arrange the funeral of the emperor right away. ”

Yue Zhijian nodded, and hurriedly went down to gather his little friends to arrange a state funeral as soon as possible.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Shan said to Zhang Zhongxiao: "Zhang Zhongxiao, this time you have made a contribution to quelling the chaos, I will crown you as a guard with a sword in front of the emperor, and then you will take the Imperial Forest Army to assist the prime minister in arranging the state funeral of the emperor!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the order!" Zhang Zhongxiao shouted respectfully, and then brought someone to help.

"Lu Zhan, you have made great contributions to controlling the situation in the capital, and I have promoted you to the commander of the city guards, and you will command the 100,000 city guards in the imperial city!

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward, the last general!"

In order to save time, Qin Shan announced several appointments on the spot.

Yue Zhijian is worthy of being a person who does practical things, and he arranged the state funeral process in just a few hours, and also sorted out a list of ministers appointed by Qin Shan.

In fact, Qin Shan had already used soul dementorship to make Yue Zhijian maintain absolute loyalty, so Qin Shan did not have any doubts about the list, and gave Yue Zhijian full authority to take responsibility.

Qin Shan has an advantage over others in being an emperor is soul dementorship, other emperors will always worry about the loyalty of their subordinates, but Qin Shan doesn't need it, as long as the person who is in the soul dementorship will not change, but the only thing is that he will never betray Qin Shan.

After Yue Zhijian made arrangements, Qin Shan held a state funeral for the emperor, which was completed within a few hours according to the process, and the emperor was buried in the imperial mausoleum.

After the state funeral, Qin Shan faced the most urgent problem of the Shengtian Dynasty now, and it was also the first major difficulty he encountered as emperor, that is, the invasion of the Jinqiu Kingdom.

"Report to !! Your Majesty, the military report I just received, the general of the Protector State resisted several attacks of the Golden Autumn Kingdom, but he was besieged by several masters of the Martial Emperor realm, and now he is wounded, this is a major blow to our army, and I am afraid it will be very difficult to deal with it next!"

Hearing this news, Qin Shan immediately frowned, and then said with a serious face: "What the army of the Shengtian Dynasty needs at this moment is morale, so I want to take the imperial !! in person."
