Chapter 764: The new emperor ascends the throne and is named Jingtai

Li Daozong's eyes trembled slightly and he looked at Lin Yun with a complicated expression.

Lin Yun said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, there is no need to worry. Without my help, do you think you are capable of dealing with all kinds of princes with different surnames?"

Li Daozong whispered: "This prince can still ask my father for advice!"

Lin Yun shook his head silently and said: "This is no longer possible! Li Jing is under house arrest in Jing Palace. Without my order, no one can see him! Therefore, if His Royal Highness wants to successfully ascend the throne, there is only one way to go. You just have to govern in accordance with the king’s policies, and I will return the power to you when I feel that you can govern independently!”

"Promise... you can ascend the throne in seven days. If you don't agree, then I will have no choice but to support the old prince Li Daozhen to ascend the throne again!"

At this time, Li Daozong finally understood. He smiled sadly: "After talking for a long time, the regent is only supporting a puppet emperor!"

Li Qingyue was afraid that he would say rebellious words at a young age and anger Lin Yun, so she quickly said: "Daozong, you..."

Before she could finish speaking, Li Daozong suddenly raised his hand to interrupt and whispered: "Sister-in-law, there is no need to say more! This prince accepts that the regent will listen to the government behind the curtain!"

Li Qingyue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly feeling that this nephew seemed to have matured and actually learned to be patient.

In the end, Li Daozong knelt directly at Lin Yun's feet and said respectfully: "Please also ask the regent to assist Daozong in ascending the throne!"

Seeing the serious expression on his face, Lin Yun's eyes turned cold.

He suddenly caught the shadow of Li Jing on Li Daozong.

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Yun nodded and said: "Yes! His Royal Highness can go back and prepare! Tomorrow morning, the enthronement ceremony can be held!"

After that, Li Daozong saluted Lin Yun and Li Qingyue, then stood up and left without looking back.

Li Qingyue said worriedly: "Ms. sir, this child seems to have changed!"

Lin Yun said indifferently: "It doesn't matter! My husband can even take care of his father, why are you afraid of him as a brat? Qingyue, you go down later to make arrangements for tomorrow's enthronement ceremony, and my husband won't show up!"

Li Qingyue said in surprise: "Ms. sir, if you don't show up for such a big matter, aren't you afraid of what problems will happen tomorrow?"

Lin Yun smiled contemptuously: "My husband is not afraid that someone will cause trouble, but I am afraid that they don't have the guts!"

Li Qingyue suddenly realized it and said with a wry smile: "Ms. sir, have you noticed that you are becoming more and more unfathomable?"

She understood that Lin Yun meant that he hoped that someone would make trouble tomorrow, and then deal with the troublemaker, so that he could take control of the government once and for all.

But in fact, if you think about it carefully, you can guess that if someone is really looking for trouble, it is probably the Eight Sage King and the old prince Li Daozhen.

However, Lin Yun only listened behind the curtain and became the regent, and did not seize the power of the Li family. Even if those civil and military officials wanted to find trouble, they had no suitable excuse.

Seven days passed in a flash.

Royal Palace, morning court.

The second prince Li Daozong succeeded to the throne as he wished and became the third emperor of the Daduan Dynasty, changing his reign name to Jingtai.

Although all the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty had complaints in their hearts, they were frightened by the pressure of Lin Yun, the regent, and did not dare to speak nonsense for fear of being persecuted.

Even the Eight Sages and the old prince Li Daozhen were forced to attend the new emperor's coronation ceremony.

In fact, they didn't want to participate, but they were afraid of being exposed and giving Lin Yun a reason to take action.

The previous coup that took place in the imperial study room is still vivid in their minds, and Lin Yun's iron-blooded and domineering tactics have been deeply imprinted in their hearts.

In addition, Lin Yun, as the regent and the planner of the new emperor's ascension to the throne, did not show up, leaving everyone confused about his thoughts. They were all afraid that Lin Yun would hide in the dark to observe their reactions, and wait to find fault in the future.

After the morning session, Li Daozhen wore a dragon robe for the first time and came to the Imperial Study Room to meet with several ministers from the Military Aircraft Department.

The Eight Sages, Fulin'an and Ye Ruhui, who had just joined the cabinet, had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing the arrival of the new emperor, the three people immediately bowed and kowtowed.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

Li Daozong's eyes were a little dazed. How he wished he could take charge of power like his father.

But everything he has now is only given by Lin Yun, the regent.

He said in a deep voice: "All the ministers, please get up without courtesy!"

The three of them stood up and lined up in a row.

"Today is the first time I have attended the morning court, and it is also the first time I have entered the imperial study as an emperor! But in fact, I also understand that I am not yet capable enough to govern personally, so... I hope that from now on, all ministers and ministers, Please help me!"

As soon as these words came out, the three of them were stunned at the same time and subconsciously looked at Li Daozong.

Both the Eight Wise Kings and Fulin'an Ye Ruhui are both human beings.

How could he not hear the implication of Li Daozong's words?

I hope that the three of them will help, isn't it because I want to fight against Lin Yun, the regent?

Sure enough, Fulin'an said displeased: "Your Majesty, according to the previous agreement, only the Regent Lin Yun is qualified to assist you in governing! You'd better not say such things in the future!"

Ye Ruhui also echoed: "What Fuzhongtang said makes sense! Your Majesty, you are still new to the world and have insufficient experience. You are unable to make correct judgments on many things, and the three of us really cannot shoulder such a heavy responsibility! Please also ask Take back your life!"

Although he did not participate in the coup that day, he had a private conversation with Lin Yun afterwards.

The two men also expressed their respective attitudes, so Ye Ruhui successfully became the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, was incorporated into the cabinet to worship the prime minister, and became the minister of military aircraft.

Lin Yun and Ye Ruhui made it very clear that the reason why he came to power so quickly was to help Fulinan and jointly check and balance the Eight Wise Kings.

There are only four people in the cabinet now, including Lin Yun.

As the regent, it was no longer convenient for him to compete with the Eight Wise Kings on everything.

We can only place our hopes on Fulinan and Ye Ruhui.

No matter what policy Lin Yun proposes next, with these two old men in charge, the Eight Wise Kings will be left alone and can only admit defeat.

Lin Yun did not choose to move the Eight Wise Kings immediately because he was worried about the instability of the court, so he could only boil the frog in warm water and gradually weaken the power of the Eight Wise Kings.

At this time, the Eight Wise Kings said in a deep voice: "Isn't it biased for you two to say this? The emperor is already an adult and should be in charge. Even if he is inexperienced, there are old people like us to help him, so why do we have to ask the regent to come forward?"

Li Daozong's eyes lit up. He had just deliberately tested them just to see the attitude of these three powerful ministers.

Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected surprise. The Eight Wise Kings who had always looked down on him would actually speak for themselves.

Fulin'an sneered and said: "The Eighth Prince's words do make sense! But, what's the use of telling me and Ye Zhongtang? It's better to wait for the regent to show up another day, and it's not too late to mention this matter again!"
