I'm the villain in the book

Chapter 545 is still a ruthless father
From Dali Temple, which is in charge of justice, to Guanglu Temple, which is in charge of sacrifices.

From Zhan Shifu, which manages foreign affairs, to the Secretary of General Affairs, who is in charge of foreign affairs and seals complaints from subjects.
When almost all the court officials of the neutral faction suddenly "stepped forward" and expressed their positions clearly and unanimously, the rest of the people were stunned for a moment.

Including Wei Xianzhi who was greatly shocked, and Ning Wenjun who looked disbelieving.

And the stunned Ruan Tianfu.

He thought with his ass and knew that it was absolutely impossible for so many people to attack at the same time.

That can only show that these colleagues who are just like themselves on weekdays, who seem to be willing not to offend, have already had the surname "Wei"!
Li Kan, Yu Shoudao, Liu Buqing, Lu Ru, Sun Guozhen
The names jumped in my mind one by one, and each of them was a famous big shot.

And the one who surprised Ruan Tianfu the most was undoubtedly his immediate boss, the gray-haired minister of the Ministry of Industry, Lu Ru.

"Master Ruan, a gentleman should be harmonious and not aloof, neutral and not rely on."

"The world is in chaos today, and the Ministry of Industry can only survive in this chaotic world by being impartial."

"There is nothing wrong with sticking to the golden mean, you have to remember."

The above are the original words that Lu Ru just said to himself not long ago.

But Ruan Tianfu now thinks back, but can only say.
Good guy!
You're such a bad old man, you're pretty good at pretending!
Looking up at Lu Ru, who was standing in the first row with a loud voice and an extremely serious face, Ruan Tianfu was speechless for a while.

The former, on the other hand, had no time to look at him at all, and was currently supporting Ning Wenjun with "justice" on his face, without the slightest hint of "moderation" in his words.

"Your Highness! The reason why Daning has come to this point is entirely thanks to the evil king!"

"Nowadays there is great chaos in the south, and there is a national war in the east. Food prices in various places remain high, and people's livelihoods are dying! People in various state capitals sometimes starve to death!"

"No matter what, the old minister agrees that His Highness will take the throne immediately!"

"Only in this way can the situation in the world be stabilized!"

"."

Under Ruan Tianfu's astonished eyes, Lu Ru said a lot.

The same goes for the rest of the high-ranking officials who have just stood up, and they have found all kinds of reasons for Ning Wenjun's immediate ascension from different angles.

Some people say that the crimes Ning Yongnian committed are far more than what Ning Wenjun said, and there are more.

Some people say that only when Ning Wenjun ascends the throne, can Ning Yuke negotiate with the imperial court to ensure that Daning will not split into two countries.

Some people said that they looked at the sky at night and found that Ning Yongnian's imperial luck had been dissipated due to the incident in Yuanzhou City. If Daning did not change the emperor, I am afraid that the national fortune would decline greatly.
All in all, all kinds of weird reasons, no matter they are true or not, were all thrown out at this time, with the purpose of getting Ning Yongnian to step down.

Of course, this also made the voice of the "supporters" surpass the "opposition" in an instant.

There are a total of [-] court officials, and now there are [-] people who clearly support Ning Wenjun's usurpation of the throne, and [-] people who clearly express their opposition, and there are still eight insignificant officials like Ruan Tianfu. take a stand.

For the thirty-nine people, they were undoubtedly surprised by the sudden change in the situation, but they also knew that now was not the time to think about when Li Kan and others formed a party with the Wei family.

No matter what, they definitely can't just watch Ning Wenjun usurp the throne so smoothly, even if they can't stop it, they should try their best to delay Ning Yongnian for a little longer.

However, Wei Xianzhi certainly won't let them succeed.

Hiding behind the screen, a light cough caught Ning Wenjun's attention.

With just one look, the latter understood the meaning, and immediately growled in a low voice:
"enough!"

"No matter what, you are all officials of my Daning court! How decent it is to quarrel like this in the court!!"

"I know some of you will be dissatisfied!"

"Okay! Those who don't want to help me become the new emperor, stand up!"

"."

Ning Wenjun's roar stopped the noise in the hall, but after a long while, no one stepped forward.

Everyone knows the truth of shooting the first bird, so most of them are hesitant at the moment.

However, Li Kan was also witty. Seeing that the "opposition" did not dare to take the lead, he fell to his knees with a "plop" and shouted in his mouth:
"I would like to assist His Highness to become the new emperor!"

Ok?
Everyone's eyes focused instantly, everyone was smart, so they quickly understood what Li Kan was doing.

"I would also like to assist Your Highness!"

"The old minister is too!"

"The same goes for my humble minister!"

"."

Within three breaths, the hall immediately fell to its knees.

The faces of those who were still standing were very ugly at the moment.

Most of them were from Ning Yongnian, and they originally wanted to use "non-violent non-cooperation" to resist Ning Wenjun's ascension to the throne.

only now it seems
"Pfft!"

"Puff-puff-puff!"

Under the heavy pressure, more than a dozen court officials soon hesitated or knelt down with difficulty, including not only small officials like Ruan Tianfu who "followed the crowd", but also a few officials who defected after seeing the situation was not good. the opposition.

As a result, there are only about [-] people who are still standing upright.

It can be seen that they are actually very tangled.

But they couldn't kneel, so they tried to carry it to the end.

And at this time, Wei Xianzhi had to make an appearance in person.

"Your Highness."

Together with Han Zhao, they went around the screen and stood beside Ning Wenjun.

Wei Xianzhi first cupped his hands with the latter, and then quickly glanced at Li Kan and others who were kneeling on the ground.

There is no doubt that the more than twenty "neutral" court officials who suddenly "turned against" have actually been won over by Wei Changtian long ago.

In fact, when Wei Changtian revealed Han Zhao's identity for the first time, Wei Xianzhi's jaw dropped from shock.

Who is Han Zhao?

Late stage master of the second stage!General Zhen Guo!
Such a character was actually instigated by his son quietly, and even staged a big show, ruining Ning Yongnian's [-] elites
At that time, Wei Xianzhi only felt that he, the commander of the Xuanjing Division and the head of the Wei family, seemed to have failed too much.

But until now, when a larger force that had penetrated so deeply into the court surfaced, he realized that the power in Wei Changtian's hands was far more than that of Shuzhou and Freemasons.

Perhaps it's time to hand over the position of Patriarch
Shaking his head, temporarily calming down his complicated emotions, Wei Xianzhi set his sights on an old man in purple clothes with a neck stuck not far away.

Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, Gu Zisheng.

Currently the number one loyal minister of Ning Yongnian in the entire capital.

"Master Gu, are you sure you want to disobey His Royal Highness's will?"

Squinting his eyes, Wei Xianzhi asked directly: "You just need to answer yes or no."

"Hmph! Master Wei is really very proud!"

"Old man"

It was obvious that Gu Zisheng was not stupid enough to answer the question directly, so he was ready to sneer first.

However, before he could finish his sentence, Wei Xianzhi suddenly swung his palm in full view of everyone.

In the next second, the wind of the palm was sharp, and it slammed on the crane in front of Gu Zisheng's chest in an instant!

"boom!"

Accompanied by a muffled sound, the latter vomited blood immediately, and flew backwards several feet away in response to the sound, and then fell to the ground like a broken sack.

The dull sound of landing echoed in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and blood splashed down, drawing a long bloodstain.

Gu Zisheng, who was at the end of the bloodstains, had no life left. Only his wide-eyed eyes showed his mood at the last moment before he died.

"."

There was a burst of chills, and the entire hall fell into a deathly silence.

"General Han."

As if doing a trivial thing, Wei Xianzhi turned his head to look at Han Zhao under everyone's gaze.

"Gu Zisheng not only shields the evil king, but also openly defies His Royal Highness, which is a heinous crime."

"Although the culprit has been executed now, the crime should implicate the nine clans."

"I can't get away for the time being, so please ask the general to take someone to Gu's house immediately."

"."

"Lord Wei, don't worry, I will go to Gu's mansion now, and the thieves will definitely not be able to escape!"

Without hesitation, Han Zhao went straight to the palace gate after agreeing.

But at this moment, a terrified and angry voice suddenly sounded.

"Wei, Wei Xianzhi!"

"Do you know what you are doing!!"

"Master Gu is a first-rank member of my dynasty! You said you would kill him!!"

"Wait for the Emperor to come back"

"boom!!"

"."

"General Han, and the Zuo family, please deal with it together."

"Hahahaha! Ben will know!"
