City Exchange Life Club

Chixiaotian is not divided into spring, summer, autumn and winter.

It's just that the climate varies from place to place.

As the largest city in Chixiaotian, Yudu is located in the heart of the sky where the four seasons are like spring, so even in January, there is no cold, let alone snow.

It was bright, and all kinds of cars were already gathering at the Suzaku Gate. These were all ministers who were going to the court.

Today is the first meeting of the year.

Zhao Yan and other kings will also go to court.

"Little brother has seen all of you brothers."

Zhao Yan respectfully greeted the eldest prince and others who were standing by, and then stood beside him.

as always.

"Well, the ninth brother is here." The boss, Qin Wang Gu Hao, nodded with a friendly smile as a response.

Old third Gu Liang snorted coldly: "Why should Lao Jiu be so pretentious, now who doesn't know, the prime minister is fighting for you, and you are very sure of the position of the prince, and you still have our brothers in your eyes?"

He was banned for a month, the sixth betrayed him and colluded with the fifth, and he was not good at governance at all, so he simply gave up.

But his resentment towards Zhao Yan was not less than that. This sinister villain, everyone was deceived by him, he has been pretending to be crazy!

He had an illusion that if it wasn't for the **** Lao Jiu, he would definitely be the winner now!

"How can the third brother talk nonsense, how can the younger brother dare to imagine the position of the prince, but what did the younger brother do wrong and offend the third brother, it really makes the younger brother feel uneasy." Zhao Yan's face suddenly turned pale, and he bowed at Gu Liang.

Gu Liang got angry when he looked at him like this, because he felt that it was a mockery of him: "Old Nine..."

"Okay, so many ministers, let them hear what it sounds like." The boss Gu Hao scolded.

Gu Liang could only shut up angrily.

The other princes have been watching from the sidelines, all mocking and looking at Gu Liang like a fool.

Since he knew that Lao Jiu had the highest winning rate with the support of Prime Minister Chu Xiong, why bother to offend him again?

Is it for fear that he won't kill you when he takes the throne?

And if Lao Jiu is really pretending to be stupid, he shouldn't be offended, because it's too terrifying.

So Gu Liang's behavior is extremely stupid in their eyes, Lao Jiu pretends to be stupid, and he is really stupid.

"Open the palace gate, all the ministers enter the palace—"

With a shout, the magic formation on the surface of the Vermillion Bird Gate dissipated, and then the two gates slowly opened.

The civil and military officials entered the palace in order, and waited all the way outside the hall where the great court meeting was held.

If you look bad, you will be stabbed.

Although it is only a small problem, if a political enemy attacks you with this, it is easy to cause trouble.

After all, those who engage in political battles are the best at getting on the line.

"Your Majesty has a decree, hundreds of officials will enter the palace-"

Another shout sounded.

The civil and military officials walked into the hall in small steps.

"Your Majesty is here—"

With a roll call, Gu Zhen, who was wearing a dragon robe, walked smoothly to the dragon chair, and hundreds of civil and military officials fell to the ground to pay homage, shouting: "My emperor is holy!"

"All the ministers are exempt from the ceremony." Gu Zhen said casually, and at the same time others were already sitting on the dragon chair.

The distance from the bottom to the dragon chair is very far, there are ninety-nine steps of jade steps, Gu Zhen sits high above, and the brilliance of Tianwei makes people dare not look directly at it, which makes people admire.

"Is there a play?" Gu Zhen asked in a deep voice.

A minister came out and bowed to the ground: "Your Majesty has a high level of cultivation, and you will go to the middle three days soon. You should establish a crown prince to secure the country's roots. The eldest son of the emperor, Qin Wang Guhao, has both political integrity and talent, and is the eldest son. Please appoint him as the crown prince."

"The minister waits for the second opinion!"

Another group of ministers made their stand.

These people originally had their own supporters, but after a large number of people who opposed Zhao Yan were beaten out of the court by Chu Xiong within a year, they had no chance of winning.

So after the discussion, they simply gave up the original supporters and all united to support the eldest son Gu Hao.

There is still a chance.

"My son is frightened!" Gu Hao quickly knelt down.

"Presumptuous!" Another minister came out, pointing at those people and scolding: "Your Majesty has a plan, the winner of the Beihai Prefecture assessment is the Crown Prince, and now that the assessment is over, Your Majesty must have a lot in mind, how can it be your turn? Intervene, do you want to make Your Majesty break his promise?"

Obviously he is from the Chuxiong faction.

"The position of the crown prince is of great importance, and I hope Your Majesty will be cautious!" said the ministers kneeling on the ground.

They just wanted to save it.

Gu Zhen said indifferently: "Enough is enough, please wait, I have a golden mouth to say, and I follow the law, how can I go back? I said that the Beihai Prefecture will be used to assess the crown prince, that is, Li Dafan, to declare my will."

"No." Li Dahan bowed slightly, then stepped forward and took out the imperial decree: "The Emperor Yu said: My nine sons, King Luo, Gu Yi, have both political and political integrity, and have long military and political skills... He has only ruled Xiayang County in Beihai Prefecture for more than a year. The population of a thousand new households has been added, and the grain and taxes are compared with those of previous years. It is deeply loved by me, and it is also a blessing to the world. I have passed the decree to the world and established him as the Crown Prince of Dayu. I admire this!"

With the issuance of the imperial decree, the imperial decree appeared over all counties and counties in Dayu at the same time, and the people of the whole country also knew that Gu Yi was established as the prince.

The matter has come to an end.

Gu Hao, who was kneeling on the ground, trembled and was a little dazed. Although he knew that he had no chance of winning, he was still a little lost at this moment.

Zhao Yan stood there for a moment for a moment, he seemed a little dazed, and then his face was filled with uncontrollable excitement and excitement: "Erchen...Erchen, thank you."

When many ministers saw this, they all sighed in their hearts, standing up to such an idiot, wouldn't Chu Xiong have the final say in the future court, Your Majesty is confused!

The people of Chuxiong's faction were all overjoyed. With Chuxiong in power, they could also fly high.

"My ministers, see His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Whether they like it or not, whether they recognize it or not, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and several princes all knelt down to pay homage to Zhao Yan.

Gu Zhen's own crown prince, his position is extremely stable, whether he recognizes Zhao Yan or not, the ministers who are loyal to Gu Zhen in the future will be loyal to Zhao Yan.

"No ceremony." Zhao Yan said in a deep voice.

Then came the establishment of the Crown Prince's East Palace. Gu Zhen personally ordered a group of vassals for the East Palace, and in the future, the life and death of these people were all tied to Zhao Yan.

And after the opening of the palace, Zhao Yan, as a prince, can justifiably recruit his vassals, and can legally have a thousand soldiers in the palace.

As long as he becomes a prince, even if he didn't have any foundation before, he will have it in the future.

"Retreat."

"I'm waiting to send you to Your Majesty!"

As the emperor left, the ministers just glanced at Zhao Yan and left one after another, but the princes congratulated Zhao Yan before leaving.

And Zhao Yan is still excited and restrained to contact them, and at the same time, he also shows a hint of arrogance that has never been seen before.

Zhao Yan was the last to leave the hall.

"Your Highness." Chu Xiong was waiting for him outside.

Zhao Yan hurried forward: "I have seen the Prime Minister."

"Your Highness doesn't have to do this. When His Highness and the little girl get married, they will become a family." Chu Xiong said.

A smile appeared on Zhao Yan's face: "Yes, yes."

"Your Highness, don't let the little girl down." Chu Xiong looked at him and said meaningfully.

Zhao Yan hurriedly shook his head and said, "I definitely won't. It's too late for me to like Xiaolan."

Then he seemed to react suddenly, and added: "It's all because of the Prime Minister. I will not fail the Prime Minister in the future. The Prime Minister can rest assured."

"It's what the old minister should do." Chu Xiong smiled even more, and bowed: "The old minister retire."

Then he flicked his sleeves and strode away.

Steady pace and high spirits.

The most difficult time for the Chu family has passed.

Next will usher in a new take-off.

He didn't know that the most difficult time for their Chu family had just come.

…………

As the dust settled on the crown prince's position in the court.

The Prince's East Palace was quickly established.

The former generals of Chen Guochen, Chen An, General Chen Guoxiao, and others have all changed their faces and entered the imperial palace.

Zhao Yan's crown prince was truly stable.

No one can overthrow him from now on.

Because he is the crown prince appointed by the emperor himself, without the emperor's will, the people and all the armies in the world will not recognize any prince other than him.

At the same time, after the crown prince was established, the other princes had already left the capital and were sealed off. They only had virtual positions in their respective fiefs, but they had no real power.

It does not pose any threat to Zhao Yan.

As for the marriage between Zhao Yan and the Prime Minister's Mansion, Gu Zhen seemed to have forgotten and never mentioned it again.

Zhao Yan pretended to be an old-fashioned critic and often hinted at Chu Lan, but the Prime Minister's Mansion did not mention it.

Perhaps in the eyes of the Prime Minister's Mansion and Chu Lan, Zhao Yan wanted to marry her anyway, and he was not in a hurry.

Just like that, it's a month later.

Emperor Gu Zhen broke through Xuanxian, and is about to go to Zhongtian for three days to pass on the decree that Zen is located in Prince Gu Yi.

After Gu Zhen left, Zhao Yan officially succeeded to the throne.

Became the emperor of Dayu Kingdom.

and held his first pilgrimage.

"My emperor, holy peace!"

The ministers of civil and military affairs below paid tribute to Zhao Yan.

"All the ministers are exempted from the ceremony." Zhao Yan said.

All the ministers: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhao Yan sat on the dragon chair and said humbly: "I have today, thanks to the help of the Qing family."

Everyone knows that this is the beginning of the reward.

In particular, the people of the prime minister's line are all overjoyed. They are the biggest contributors to the emperor's succession. Of course, the emperor can't treat them badly.

"Report to Your Majesty, I have the original performance!" Chu Xiong stepped forward and interrupted Zhao Yan on the spot.

There was a sudden silence in the hall.

When Gu Zhen was in power, he dared not do this.

Zhao Yan is very lenient: "Prime Minister, please speak."

"The minister wants to impeach Zhou Yang, the minister of households, and Luohan, the minister of war, for corruption and perversion of the law and bullying others, so he should be dismissed and investigated!" Chu Xiong said with his head held high.

These two are his political enemies.

"You're spitting blood!" Zhou Yang came out and knelt directly on the ground: "Please also ask Your Majesty to observe the incident!"

"Your Majesty can't believe this villain's slander, he clearly wants to be a powerful minister!" Luohan said.

Chu Xiong sneered: "Blood-mouthed? Your Majesty, this is the evidence that these two people are corrupt."

He handed over a memorial.

Arhat and Zhou Yang trembled.

After reading the memorial, Zhao Yan was furious and slapped the table directly: "No reason! Come on, take them down, dismiss them and investigate!"

As the two were taken away, all the officials of Chu Xiong's line had smug smiles on their faces.

"Your Majesty..." Seeing that two positions were vacant, Chu Xiong naturally wanted to carry his own people up.

But Zhao Yan interrupted him directly: "These two are indispensable. The left servant of the Ministry of Housing was promoted to the Minister of the Ministry of War, and the right servant of the Ministry of War was promoted to the Minister of the Ministry of War."

Both of them are servants of the Prince's East Palace.

"Chen Xie En." The two came out and knelt down.

Chu Xiong was stunned for a moment, and suddenly looked up at the emperor on the dragon chair, Zhao Yan quietly looked at him.

Chu Xiong raised an ominous premonition.

The next second, the ministers scrambled to hand over the book.

"Your Majesty, the minister has the original performance, and the minister impeaches the doctor of the imperial censor..."

"The minister impeaches the left servant of the Ministry of War..."

"The minister impeaches the Minister of Rites..."

"The minister impeaches Prime Minister Chu Xiong for exceeding the system..."

The vassals of the Prince's East Palace directly and frantically impeached the officials of the Prime Minister's line, and the evidence was conclusive.

Apparently it was already prepared.

As soon as they impeached, the group of people who opposed Zhao Yan's succession to the throne also came out to beat the underdogs.

Because they have already seen that, Gu Yi has deceived everyone, and he has been pretending to be crazy and acting stupid.

In other words, this is simply a conspiracy between Gu Zhen and Gu Yiwan, just to weaken the Chu family.

The sound of impeachment kept ringing in his ears, Chu Xiong's brain was buzzing, and his hands and feet were cold for a while.

been played!

He was played by a yellow-mouthed child!

The Chu family took great pains to push him to the throne, but he turned his face in the blink of an eye.

Chu Xiong was furious. When had he ever been humiliated like this, staring at Zhao Yan.

"Presumptuous! Look directly at Your Majesty, it is disrespectful!" Li Dahan stepped forward, and a pressure dissipated.

At the same time, Chen An, who has changed his face to become Zhao Yan's bodyguard, also exudes sword intent.

The two stared at Chu Xiong so coldly.

Chu Xiong is in the late stage of Tianxian.

The two of them are also late immortals.

Therefore, he is not afraid of Chu Xiong turning his face.

And there are several Earth Immortals outside.

Gu Zhen's foundation for Zhao Yan is not weak, otherwise what would the royal family use to rule such a big country of Yu?

In such a world of immortals, strength is everything, and after adding those old ministers of Chen Guo, Zhao Yan's strength is much stronger than that of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Therefore, Zhao Yancai set up today's scene with confidence, and attacked Chu Xiong directly and squarely.

I just want to beat you, what can you do?

Chu Xiong closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and laughed angrily: "Okay, very good, Your Majesty, this minister knows about your methods, and I am convinced."

"The prime minister has a great kindness to me, but now the public sentiment is turbulent, I can only endure the pain and righteousness to kill the relatives. The prime minister has worked hard for Da Yu for a long time these years, and it is time to take a good rest." Zhao Yan said sadly.

In the end, with tears in his eyes, he made a painful decision. The prime minister, Chu Xiong, was dismissed, and then he sealed a bunch of false titles and let him retire early.

In the prime minister's line, other officials who were impeached were also dismissed from their posts, and they were released to the outside world.

The vacant position is filled by the imperial palace official.

Chaotang was so firmly controlled by Zhao Yan.

"My Emperor Shengming!"

Hundreds of civil and military officials shouted in unison, everyone was frightened, and no one dared to underestimate Zhao Yan.

Didn't you see the last person who looked down on Zhao Yan and wanted to use him as a puppet, he was already drained and kicked away?

Gu Zhen was also like this...

As expected of a father and son.

Even the former political enemies were so sad that they couldn't help sympathizing with Chu Xiong. The Chu family was so miserable.

He tried his best to serve him twice, but after both times he was stunned by the emperor, he raised his pants and did not recognize him.

It really is how ruthless the emperor has been since ancient times!
