This emperor is too strong!

Chapter 75 Enthronement!

Tai Chi Temple.

Civil and military officials entered the palace and waited quietly, but today's mood is quite different from the past.

Most of the killings last night were concentrated in the rich and powerful residences. Even if some people didn't know what happened, they knew that drastic changes must have taken place in the imperial capital.

On the way into the palace, and while waiting in the Hall of Proclamation, I also got a little word of mouth through some acquaintances.

Coupled with the empty court hall and the absence of some key figures, many people felt a sense of scalp tingling.

The most important thing is that the forbidden army guarding the palace was also replaced by an army dressed in unfamiliar clothes, which made people have a frightening guess - last night, someone might have mutinied!
This is the reaction of most of the court officials. At this moment, their minds have been shrouded in surprise and anxiety.

Of course, there is still a small group of people who are different. They are either the core of the generals, know or even participate in what happened last night, so they are very excited.

Or they learned the whole story through their eyes and ears or relationships, and they already had calculations in their hearts, so they were relatively calm.

After a seemingly long but actually very short wait, a soft and gentle voice finally sounded.

"Hundreds of officials have an audience~"

The officials knelt down and bowed their heads subconsciously, only after they knelt down did they realize the abnormality.

Because this voice is very strange, it is not Zuo Zhi's tone at all.

Someone boldly raised his eyes to take a sneak peek, and what he saw was a middle-aged eunuch whom he had never seen before, who seemed to be holding something in his hands.

At the same time, Xia Ao stepped out from the imperial path behind the screen and stood in front of the dragon chair.

"All ministers, let me tell you a very sad news..."

Hearing Xia Ao's voice, all court officials looked up in a daze. They were all shocked when they saw Xia Ao standing on the imperial steps wearing a black dragon robe different from the golden imperial robe before.

"Last night, the Crown Prince Xia Chang, Prime Minister He Kun, Sangong and others secretly colluded with Feng Lian, the commander of the imperial army, to plot to assassinate the late emperor in order to assist the Crown Prince to ascend the throne as soon as possible."

"Fortunately, Zuo Zhi, the eunuch in charge of the palace, spread the news in time, and sent someone secretly with an imperial decree to let Gu enter the palace to serve the emperor. Although Gu successfully suppressed all the thieves, the first emperor was murdered by them on the spot!"

Having said that, Xia Ao showed sadness on his face, wiped away the tears that did not exist, and changed his tone.

"However, the first emperor issued the will in time, Zhao Gu ascended the throne, and handed over the will and the jade seal to the eunuch Zuo Zhi and the eunuch Zhao Gao for safekeeping."

"Zuo Zhangdian fulfilled his duties and tried his best to protect the edict. Unfortunately, he still couldn't make it to the end. Only Zhao Zhangyin broke out with the edict and jade seal."

At this point, Xia Ao suddenly looked serious, and the grief in his eyes was replaced by fortitude and majesty.

"A country cannot be without a king for a day, and it is at the time of a fierce battle with Dajin. Therefore, I am determined to obey the last emperor's edict, and I will ascend the throne today, and everything will be kept simple!"

"I also ask Zongzheng and General Hussars to come forward and verify the authenticity of the edict."

After Xia Ao's words fell, Zhao Gaodang walked down the imperial steps holding the imperial edict in his hand.

Zongzheng Xia Hanlin frowned. Since the entire imperial palace fell into the hands of the sixth prince last night, and Zuo Zhi and others were all dead, how could the so-called will be false?
This so-called verification of authenticity is meaningless at all.

But, what happened now?

The sixth prince has successfully controlled the imperial capital, and there are generals outside who control the main force. Questioning and opposing will only lead to death!

Especially since he had offended the sixth prince before, if he dared to speak differently, it might not be his death alone!

Furthermore, among the princes of the right age, only the sixth prince is left. If he supports other young princes to ascend the throne, it will only cause more trouble.

Thinking of this, Xia Hanlin sighed secretly, stood up expressionlessly and walked forward.

On the other side, Hussar General Xia Delong had already stepped forward, and he seemed to be mentally prepared.

The two stared at the so-called "legacy" for a while, looked at each other, and took a deep look at Xia Ao on the imperial steps, then turned to face the officials.

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

After the announcement, the two walked back to the train with no expression on their faces.

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

"Your Highness Sixth, what you are saying doesn't make sense! The crown prince is the crown prince handpicked by His Majesty, and he will ascend the throne sooner or later, so how could he do such rebellious things?"

As this person appeared, others stood up again and again.

"That's right! Your Majesty is already critically ill. To say something disrespectful, His Majesty's next day is just a matter of these few days. How could the prince treasonously murder His Majesty in order to ascend the throne a few days earlier?!"

"Indeed! Sixth Highness, you are a mutiny!"

"Six princes, did your majesty and the crown prince die at your hands? How could you kill your own father and elder brother for the sake of the throne? This is treason, disloyalty and filial piety! What will happen to you in the future if you do such a rebellious and tyrannical thing?" To face my great Xia ancestors face to face?!"

"You vicious tyrant! You are in vain as a son of man!"

Facing the questioning and abuse of eight or nine stubborn ministers, Xia Ao remained expressionless, but his eyes were as cold as cold abyss.

"Dare to question the last emperor's edict and abuse Yu Gu, you are not small."

"Come on, drag it out of the Meridian Gate, and behead it for public display! Also, confiscate your family and family, as a warning to others!"

As soon as Xia Ao finished speaking, Yuwen Chengdu immediately led a group of Xiaoguo troops to rush in, suppressed and bound them all out.

Hearing Xia Ao's treatment of these stubborn officials, the other court officials all felt chills and looked horrified.

Not only beheading, but even ransacking the house, this is too cruel!
You know, there is even a Shangshu there!

Frightened, no one dared to stand up again.

【Ding!You are unquestionable and self-willed. You ordered the beheading of nine court officials and ransacked their homes. Your overbearing value +1800]

After the shouting and scolding went away, Zhao Gao read out the will in the hall.

Afterwards, Xia Ao turned around and walked to the dragon chair step by step, with excitement in his eyes.

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

At this moment, the hearts of all civil and military officials were shaken, and they felt that Xia Ao at this moment was infinitely majestic, like a natural emperor, making people dare not show the slightest disobedience, and even many people felt reverence from the bottom of their hearts and admiration.

This feeling is inexplicable, but it is real.

"bye!"

Following Zhao Gao's shout, all the officials kowtowed.

"Long Live Long Live Your Majesty!"

On the dragon chair, Xia Ao looked down at the hundreds of officials in the hall who prostrated and bowed their heads, and couldn't help but have a feeling of seeing the smallness of all beings at a glance, and being the only one at the peak.

Raising his hand slightly, Xia Ao spoke indifferently.

"All the gentlemen are flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
