Those years when I fished in Zhenwu Division

Chapter 362 The new king ascends the throne
Everything that happened in Wang Jinghui's house was also happening in the homes of other officials in the court.

Compared with the difficulty of apprehending Wang Xinwen, the weaknesses of other officials' families can be said to be easy to deal with.

When late at night came, the cleanup mission finally came to an end.

The entire martial prison also ushered in the busiest and liveliest time.

Under Su Yu's arrangement, the people from the martial arts prison deliberately took out the martial artists who had committed crimes and tortured them severely.

The shrill screams resounded throughout the martial prison, deepening the fear in the hearts of these young masters. They were all frightened to the point of crying, shouting for their grandfather or father, who was an official in the court, to rescue them.

Su Yu did not stop 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 is a play for the families of civil and military officials, but if they don't cooperate in the court tomorrow, it will be a fake play for real.

After the visit, the family members all returned to their respective homes with heavy worries. It was inevitable that they would cry to the head of the house about the horrific scenes in the martial arts prison.

"Master, you must save Rui'er. That martial prison is simply not a place for people to stay. It is the eighteenth level of hell. If anything happens to Rui'er, I won't be able to survive."

"Master, please find a way to rescue Ning'er. Ning'er ate in a restaurant three years ago and forgot to pay the bill due to negligence. The people from the Zhenwu Division took him to the martial arts prison for a meal. , Ning'er's crime will not lead to death."

"Master, you don't know that the way prisoners are interrogated in the martial prison is simply outrageous. If Kang'er is tortured in the martial prison tomorrow, Kang'er has never suffered like this in these years. He will be dead."

"master"

"."

This night, many people are destined to lose sleep completely.
The next morning, the civil and military officials, who had been tormented by their families all night at home, had bloodshot eyes, dark bags under their eyes, and looked extremely tired, as if they had not slept for two or three nights after overworking.

Last night was undoubtedly extremely painful for them.

As the head of a family, he not only has to worry about how his "weakness" in prison is doing, but he also has to endure the constant crying of his family members at home.
Now that they finally made it to daybreak, they couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

As veterans in the court, they naturally knew that the Zhenwu Division was here to arrest people.

This is the plan that Wei Lianyi came up with to kill everyone!
It’s also a naked conspiracy!
She must force their heads down and force them to recognize her as the emperor!

The civil and military officials each washed themselves at home, then went out to take a carriage and drove slowly towards the palace.

The carriage stopped in front of the Meridian Gate. The officials walked out of the carriage, met with other familiar officials in the court, and then walked together towards the palace.

Everyone's foreheads were tightened. After everyone said hello with a forced smile, they talked about the incident that happened last night.

"Master Lu, your children were also kidnapped by Zhenwu Division people?"

"No, the people from the Zhenwu Division surrounded my family and said that my boy molested the women in the street five years ago. You also know that Han Qing was only seven years old five years ago. He molested the women in the street. Isn't this a joke? ?”

"Then what did the people from Zhenwu Division say?"

"The people from the Zhenwu Division said that Han Qing and his playmates were playing hide and seek on the street five years ago, and then touched the leg of a passing girl. Now the woman came to the Zhenwu Division to report the crime, and then Han Qing was arrested. .”

"Well, my family's situation is similar to yours. The people from the Zhenwu Division said that ten years ago, the boy in my family took a stone and threw it at a beggar on the street. Now the beggar comes to ask for justice, and then my useless child The boy was also taken to the Zhenwu Division and detained. I have all the good things to say, even if I say a hundred times the compensation, by the way, where did this beggar come from in Tai'an City? I think the Zhenwu Division made it out of thin air."

"The third princess has gone too far. How can she allow the people of the Zhenwu Division to do such a thing?"

"Hehe, Mr. Lin, maybe the third princess is secretly promoting this matter."

"The third princess really doesn't have martial ethics. There is a saying that goes well, if you don't bring harm to your family, if you come to us and threaten our family if something happens, what kind of hero can you be?"

"Hehe, as a woman, the third princess really doesn't need to be a hero."

"."

All the civil and military officials walked in the direction of the Hall of Supreme Harmony in whispers.

When the civil and military officials walked into the Hall of Supreme Harmony, they immediately stopped talking and looked at Wang Jinghui and Huo Yu in the court hall involuntarily.

Now that Wei Lianyi has made his move, it depends on how the two of them respond.

Either one of the eldest prince and the second prince ascends the throne, and then removes Wei Lianyi from the position of governor of the Jingzhou Zhenwu Division, and then releases the weak points of the civil and military officials in the court.

Either Wei Lianyi ascends the throne, and then she releases the people.

But no matter what, the battle for the new king will probably be decided in the morning today.

Wang Jinghui and Huo Yu both closed their eyes and waited quietly for the morning court to begin.

Both of them were visited by Zhenwu Si at their homes, and then the two of them almost didn't rest and got together to discuss it again.

Obviously, the two of them knew very well that the outcome of this war, which was not seen in the court, would be decided today.

Although Wei Lianyi visited most of the homes of the civil and military officials in the court.

But for the two of them, this is far from enough to make them lose in this competition.

And the dispute in the court today has finally come to an end.

Now it's up to who is more skilled.

"The empress dowager is here!"

At this moment, with a shout, Wu Yuanxuan, who was wearing mourning clothes, walked into the hall accompanied by Wei Lianyi.

Seeing Wu Yuanxuan's arrival, Wang Jinghui and Huo Yu both frowned.

It seems that Wu Yuanxuan also realized that today's morning meeting will elect a new king, and her arrival must be to strengthen Wei Lianyi's momentum.

Wang Jinghui and Huo Yu looked at each other, then nodded calmly.

The battle for the new king should be decided in the court today.

After a cup of tea, all civil and military officials gathered in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

"Master Chief Assistant, since everyone has arrived, let's start today's morning meeting."

Wu Yuanxuan looked at Wang Jinghui below and said slowly.

"Yes."

Wang Jinghui responded, 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 late emperor."

"In order to elect a new king, all civil and military officials also made suggestions."

"As the chief minister of the Wei Dynasty, I temporarily preside over the affairs of state on behalf of the late emperor. I also know that the selection of the new emperor cannot be delayed any longer."

"After returning home last night, the old minister was thinking a lot. In order to avoid turmoil and bloodshed in this battle for the new king, he decided to elect the candidate by voting by all the civil and military officials in the court. Choose the final candidate for the new king."

"Now the veteran announces that the voting to select the new king has officially begun!"

"The prince who holds half of the votes in the court will be the new king of Wei!"

"Now please raise your hands for all the civil and military officials who support the eldest prince!"

As Wang Jinghui finished speaking, the entire court was filled with silence.

Everyone looked at each other in confusion, 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 taking the precious sons and grandsons of the civil and military officials in the court and sending them to military prison, she would not be able to force these people to submit.

What Wang Jinghui said now also confirmed her guess.

Wang Jinghui has given up on continuing to waste his money, and is preparing to go to court today to force the eldest prince to the throne by cutting through the mess with a sharp knife.

In this way, when the eldest prince ascends the throne, he can remove her from the post of governor of Jingzhou Town Wusi, and then help his own people to ascend to the throne, and then release one by one the princes and brothers who were captured in the martial arts prison last night.

"Cough cough."

Huo Yu coughed dryly, then raised his hand and said slowly: "The elders and younger ones are in order. The eldest prince's accession to the throne is destiny. The ministers support the eldest prince's accession to the throne!"

Whoa!
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 filled with disbelief.

As a supporter of the second prince, Huo Yu has now taken the lead to stand up and 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 eldest prince's camp, bringing together both civil and military forces. Sent to deal with the three princesses together.

"It seems that this battle for the new king will end with the eldest prince taking over as the new king."

Such an idea appeared in everyone's mind involuntarily.

Now that both the civil and military factions support the eldest prince, the third princess Wei Lianyi naturally has no hope.

Especially since Wei Lianyi took advantage of his position last night and ordered people to arrest the young masters in their respective families and imprison them, all the civil and military officials were even more resentful.

I just took this opportunity to make it clear that the overall situation was settled, so as to avoid the liquidation after the eldest prince ascended the throne.

As Huo Yu was the first to stand up, a second person immediately stood up again.

"I support the eldest prince's accession to the throne!"

"I support the eldest prince's accession to the throne!"

"I support the eldest prince's accession to the throne!"

"I support the eldest prince's accession to the throne!"

"."

For a moment, all the civil and military officials in the court raised their hands and supported the eldest prince's accession to the throne.

When all the civil and military officials chose to support the eldest prince's ascension to the throne, the face of the eldest prince Wei Zongyuan already showed a look of uncontrollable ecstasy.

Now he is only one step away from the throne.

As for the second prince Wei Zongyue, a trace of loneliness flashed across his face.

However, after knowing the result last night, he didn't show much disappointment.

After all, he occupied the two states of Guwu and became king at the same time. Except for Wei Zongyuan, he lived a life like a local emperor in his fiefdom.

This result was not difficult for him to accept.

"Cough cough."

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 eldest prince Wei Zongyuan's succession, the old minister announced that the candidate for the new emperor this time is the eldest prince. Wei Zong"

"slow!"

However, before Wang Jinghui could finish his words, Wei Lianyi had already interrupted what he was going to say next.

Everyone's eyes fell on Wei Lianyi at this moment.

Wang Jinghui's eyes flashed with brilliance, and then he 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 flipped his wrist, and there was already an imperial edict in his hand.

"During the reconstruction of the palace, the people below unexpectedly found this edict written by the father during his lifetime in his palace."

Wei Lianyi said loudly: "In this edict, my father has drafted the candidate for the next new king!"

Whoa!
At this moment, the civil and military officials were once again in an uproar.

This edict undoubtedly exceeded everyone's expectations.

Wang Jinghui and Huo Yu looked at each other with ugly expressions on their faces.

This sudden change undoubtedly caught both of them off guard.

The smile on the face of the eldest prince in the court suddenly froze at this moment.

The feeling of suspense after the overall situation has been decided is not pleasant. It's like a graceful woman swaying in front of you, but you can never catch up...

At Wei Lianyi's signal, a father-in-law came forward, took the edict and began to read it out.

"Follow the sky to carry the goods, the emperor decreed:

Since I came to the throne according to the imperial edict, I have managed the country and kept the jade seal for a long time, until the end of the term. I have been responsible for the important tasks of the military and state, and have been very careful in hiring and administration. I have not been tired of hard work and dare not relax.

Today's third princess, Wei Lianyi, has extraordinary intelligence and outstanding qualities. She should inherit my throne and inherit the unification of the country.

Since my death, the third princess Wei Lianyi has become the new emperor, ruling all 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 wise king and granted the title of Guzhou.

The second prince, Wei Zongyue, was established as King Yu and granted the title of Wuzhou.I hope that the two kings can put the country first and assist the new emperor so that the country can prosper.

Announce it to the world, and the envoys of Xian will hear it and admire it! "

wow.

The content of the edict caused everyone in the court to stir up a commotion again.

Huo Yu took a step forward and said loudly: "Third princess, I dare to say something offensive. This edict never appeared in your majesty's relics when I was taking care of your majesty's funeral, but now it suddenly appears. I have a reason." I suspect that someone wrote the edict privately."

Now, regardless of whether this edict is true or not, all civil and military officials have to say it is false, and then choose a new king at their own pace.

And what is the significance of whether this edict is true or false?

"My minister agrees!"

After Huo Yu finished speaking, officials immediately stood up and echoed.

"My minister agrees!"

"My minister agrees!"

"My minister agrees!"

"."

In the court, civil and military officials raised questions one after another.

Wei Lianyi said calmly: "If you doubt the authenticity of the edict, you can authenticate it!"

After finishing speaking, Wei Lianyi looked at Wang Jinghui and said, "Sir, Chief Assistant, you have been assisting the late emperor since he took office. You must also recognize the late emperor's handwriting."

"Since all civil and military officials doubt the authenticity of the edict, it's up to you to make the appraisal."

A father-in-law came forward, took the edict, and then quickly came to Wang Jinghui and handed the edict over.

This edict was naturally not true. After all, Wei and Jin would never have imagined that one day they would encounter a rebellion.

Wei Lianyi drafted this edict just to prevent both the civil and military factions in the court from joining forces to deal with her.

Her guess was correct, the civil and military factions really came together.

And she can use this edict to overturn the chessboard and forcefully take over the throne by force!

Wang Jinghui took the imperial edict, and after just one glance, he knew that there was something wrong with the handwriting of the edict, and there was not even a seal on it.

He immediately realized that Wei Lianyi was probably about to fall out.

But thinking about everything he discussed with Huo Yu last night, Wang Jinghui couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

Third Princess, you are too young after all.

In the end, I won this battle for the new king.

"Lord Chief Assistant, is this edict true or false?"

Wei Lianyi said lightly.

Facing everyone's gaze, Wang Jinghui said loudly: "After identification, the handwriting of this edict was not written by His Majesty!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Jinghui looked at Wei Lianyi and said in a deep voice: "Third Princess, you falsely passed on the imperial edict with the intention of disrupting the new king's enthronement. It is really a heinous crime!"

"As the chief minister, how can I allow you to bring trouble to the imperial court?"

"Commander Qinglong, Commander Zhuque, capture the third princess quickly!"

At this time, the figures of Yuan Xian and Huang Zhenkai appeared in the Hall of Supreme Harmony at some unknown time.

The expressions of all the civil and military officials in the court changed, as if they did not expect that Wang Jinghui would actually pull Yuan Xian and Huang Zhenkai into his camp.

This is undoubtedly beyond everyone's expectations.

At the same time, everyone also vaguely realized that the battle for the new king was finally coming to an end.

The battle for the new king can be said to have involved everyone in the court.

Everyone is exhausted physically and mentally now, and just want to end it quickly, and then let Zhenwu Si release their own people.

"Third Princess, we don't want to take action against you. Please come with us."

Yuan Xian said with a 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 promised to successfully draw the two of them into his own camp at the cost of five times the monthly training resources compared to the previous one. .

This also made the two of them think about attacking the Divine Hidden Realm.

In order to further their cultivation, the two decided to take a gamble!
Both serving in the Zhenwu Division, but now having to go to war with Wei Lianyi, Yuan Xian and Huang Zhenkai also had mixed feelings in their hearts.

The two of them also knew very well that Wei Lianyi already had the cultivation level of the Hidden Dragon Realm. By using the secret method of Jun Lin Tian Xia, she could temporarily advance her cultivation level to the Soul Palace Realm.

If she used the phoenix bracelet in her hand, the two of them could only watch her flee.

It's just that their purpose this time is to help the eldest prince successfully succeed to the throne.

As for arresting Wei Lianyi, or allowing Wei Lianyi to escape, the nature is almost the same.

The two even hoped that Wei Lianyi would run away directly to avoid a fight between the two sides.

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 Qinglong and Suzaku commanders of the Zhenwu Division, what have you done in the past? , I see it in my eyes.”

"If you two just retreat, I can pretend that this matter never happened."

"If these two dare to take action against me today, don't blame me for not respecting colleagues!"

Wei Lianyi's words caused the expressions of everyone in the court to change.

How could she, a Hidden Dragon Realm warrior, dare to say these words in front of two Soul Palace Realm warriors?
Even Yuan Xian and Huang Zhenkai couldn't help but frown at this moment.

Where did she get the confidence to say these words with confidence?

Could it be that the forces secretly cultivated by the late emperor have been taken over by her?

But in front of so many people, the two of them naturally couldn't be timid.

Yuan Xian and Huang Zhenkai looked at each other, nodded, then flashed and headed straight for Wei Lianyi.

However, just when the two of them came to Wei Lianyi, they were about to restrain him.

A father-in-law standing next to Wei Lianyi stepped out with his right foot and disappeared.

When he appeared again, he was already standing in front of Yuan Xian and Huang Zhenkai like a ghost.

He is the clone of Su Yu who is disguised as the father-in-law and is guarding Wei Lianyi.

Now that the heirs of civil and military officials have been imprisoned in martial arts prisons, how can Su Yu feel comfortable letting Wei Lianyi face the civil and military officials alone in the court.

The result was as he expected. Wang Jinghui had secretly established a relationship with Yuan Xian and Huang Zhenkai.

But now, he already has the strength to arm-wrestle with Soul Palace realm warriors.

The clone carries the Tiandao Jade in his hand that has the ability to shrink the ground into a foot. He already has the power not to be afraid of Yuan Xian and Huang Zhenkai!
It can even be said that he already has the power to instantly kill Soul Palace realm warriors.

Yuan Xian and Huang Zhenkai didn't even react, and used protective energy to resist Su Yu's attack.

"boom!"

"boom!"

Su Yu extended his fists and punched heavily on the chests and abdomens of Yuan Xian and Huang Zhenkai, causing two dull sounds.

"Pfft."

"Pfft."

Yuan Xian and Huang Zhenkai each spat out a mouthful of blood, and then their whole bodies were like cannonballs, and they were thrown heavily in the direction outside the hall.

The ground that had just been repaired with white jade bricks once again created a large crater with a radius of several feet.

The two of them climbed up in a hurry, with a look of deep horror on their faces.

It was obvious that both of them were clearly aware that the other party had just held back.

The opponent's speed was so fast that it was simply mind-numbing.

At the moment when neither of them had time to resist, if the opponent's fist had been aimed at their heads, it would have been enough to kill them on the spot in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Thinking back to that night, Cao Zhenyi wanted to capture Wu Yuanxuan alive as a hostage, but was killed by the mysterious man on the spot.

The two immediately realized that this person was probably the master who guarded Wu Yuanxuan and killed Cao Zhen that night!
"Yuan Xian, Huang Zhenkai, you two deceived me and ignored me. Since this is your first offender, I can spare your life. If it happens again, you will be severely punished!"

Wei Lianyi looked at the two people outside the hall and said slowly.

"Yes!"

Yuan Xian and Huang Zhenkai were filled with bitterness, and responded respectfully with clasped fists.

The speed shown by the other party made the two of them unable to even think about continuing to fight.

Wei Lianyi looked at Wang Jinghui again, and then said calmly: "Wang Jinghui, the late emperor personally wrote the imperial edict, but you are claiming that it is a fake edict. Before the new emperor is established, you want to use the chief assistant to temporarily take over the affairs of the government and disrupt the government. Your intention is sinister. In fact, it is a false edict. You have violated the late emperor's trust and committed a heinous crime. I have reason to suspect that you are a member of Nian's organization who has infiltrated the court with the intention of stealing the country!"

"Come here, capture Wang Jinghui and take him to the martial arts prison for severe interrogation!"

"Yes!"

Someone immediately stepped forward and dragged Wang Jinghui, who looked gloomy and despairing, out of the court hall.

After Yuan Xian and Huang Zhenkai were defeated instantly, Wang Jinghui's heart pounded, knowing that the situation was over.

Coupled with the various persecutions that were secretly sent to the three princesses before, now that Wei Lianyi has gained power, he can already guess his future ending.
"I can't figure it out, it's destiny!"

Wang Jinghui suddenly broke free from the custody of the guards, and then laughed loudly like crazy: "Wei Lianyi, as a woman who succeeded to the throne and acted against the will, you will definitely not end well. The Wei Dynasty's 500-year-old foundation may fall apart, haha."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Jinghui suddenly ran a few steps and bumped into the Qinan supporting the dome in the hall. He died on the spot.

Looking at Wang Jinghui who was stained with blood in the main hall, Su Yu couldn't help but be a little surprised. This old guy still had some blood.

After all, after entering the martial arts prison, the fate waiting for him will not be so straightforward.

Wei Lianyi's pretty face was a little livid, she looked around, and then said: "Now that the late emperor's edict is here, I will take over as the new king. Is there any objection from the civil and military officials?"

All the civil and military officials looked at each other in shock, and no one said a word.

Wang Jinghui is dead, and the literary school has lost its backbone.

In addition, the young masters in their respective families were also imprisoned in martial arts prisons. Qinglong Commander Yuan Xian and Suzaku Commander Huang Zhenkai have both re-loyed to Wei Lianyi.

Can they still object?
At the end, everyone's eyes turned to Huo Yu in the court hall.

Facing everyone's gaze, Huo Yu took a deep breath, then cupped his fists and bowed, and said in a deep voice: "I respectfully invite the new king to succeed you!"

Seeing that Huo Yu was holding his nose and admitting this, others also echoed: "I respectfully invite the new king to take over!"

When Wei Lianyi sat on the throne on the high platform with a pretty face and solemnity, all the civil and military officials in the audience knelt on the ground and shouted: "Long live my emperor!"

Wei Lianyi glanced at the civil and military officials, and then looked towards the morning sun that was slowly rising outside the hall.

The morning sun gradually washed away the blush, revealing a golden light that fell on the court, creating a beautiful scene, as if it was also welcoming the new king's succession.

She glanced at Su Yu, who was disguised as her father-in-law. The latter also smiled and nodded at her.

Su Yu, thank you.

Wei Lianyi thought to himself.

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, all the events since the two got acquainted flashed through her mind, as if yesterday was reappearing.

"Father, don't worry, my son will take good care of this family and this country for you!"

Wei Lianyi murmured in her heart, her eyes slowly became firm, and then she said loudly: "Everyone loves me!"
