The atmosphere in Beijing has been very tense recently. There are not many pedestrians on the streets. Most people feel that the recent atmosphere is very evil. They would rather hide at home if nothing happens, at least they are safe.

King Yu's ceremonial guard played gongs and drums in front of him to clear the way. Sitting in the prince's sedan chair, he looked at the deserted streets, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his face suddenly darkened. They were a group of untouchables.

The voices opposing him have become louder recently, which makes him quite unhappy. Now that the overall situation has been decided, the world should adapt to his rule.

His sedan chair went directly to the palace.

The closer he got to the palace, the more prosperous and lively the place became, and his brows relaxed slightly.

Today is the day of the great dynasty, and it is also the day when he officially ascends to the throne and becomes the regent. After today, the world will be at his fingertips. Thinking of this, his heart is quite hot.

Many officials complained when they saw King Yu's oversized sedan chair, but due to the current direction of the wind, most of them dared not speak out.

And the assistant ministers who entered the palace first saw King Yu entering the palace in a high-profile and arrogant way, and they also stepped aside. Compared with Xiao Mingzhang in the past, they hated the current King Yu even more, a man who had no authority over the world. Ambitious elements.

When King Yu's sedan chair passed them in a high-pitched manner and walked on the palace road, they dared to whisper a few words.

"Is it true that the Prince Regent can't wake up? I used to say that he was arrogant and domineering. Now every mountain is higher than the other. I was actually wrong in the past."

"Oh, who says it's not the case? I didn't obey the regent's order before, but now I really want to invite him back to let this annoying..."

"Be careful, be careful if you are caught and sent to prison. Not long ago, the family of the Minister of the Ministry of Finance was sent to prison."

The person who was reminded quickly bowed his hand. Others did not remind him, but he forgot about the upright Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Just because he had previously advocated taxing Jiangnan and could not let King Yu alone get a huge amount of tax revenue, he was now being retaliated against. .

The old Xungui Group now collectively supports King Yu. Their tails are finally raised, and their arrogance and arrogance are the same as the new master King Yu.

If they had listened to what they just said, the whole family might have to go to jail.

Thinking of this, he broke into a cold sweat on his back, and quickly looked around. Fortunately, the distinguished group was a little far away, so he probably didn't hear what he said, so he put his heart back in his chest.

Unlike these shrinking auxiliary ministers, nobles without real power like Marquis Xuan Ning were collectively in high spirits. Walking on the palace road, they felt that their former energy and spirit had returned.

They whispered to each other and began to imagine that after today's dynasty, King Yu officially became the regent. With the official positions they could obtain, and with real power, were they afraid that no one would respect them?

The days of being suppressed by Xiao Mingzhang have passed, and finally it's time to get ahead.

Different from the previous court where there was a world of ice and fire, Qi Meizhi in the harem also wore the Queen Mother's court dress today. She had to attend today's court with the little emperor, so she was still wearing makeup this time.

It's just that her face is gloomy, which makes the servants who serve her cautious. Even her confidant Eunuch Zhang doesn't dare to tell jokes to make her master happy.

"This King Yu really doesn't know what to say. If he ascends to power, we won't have any good fruits to eat. Now, this person can't be plotted against."

Qi Meizhi directly pushed away the palace maid who was putting makeup on her, and spoke to her brother Qi Jinzhi in a bad tone.

In recent times, the more she came into contact with King Yu, the more dissatisfied she became. Such a man was not worthy of carrying Xiao Mingzhang's shoes.

Qi Jinzhi's face darkened, and finally he clenched his fists and said, "Sister, don't worry, the show has to go on..."

"How to sing?"

Qi Meizhi interrupted her brother irritably. They couldn't find out what was going on with Xiao Mingzhang. For this reason, she summoned Princess Yuanjia into the palace several times, but the innocent little princess kept fighting with her. Tai Chi, there is not a word of truth in his mouth.

When she thought of this, she became very angry. She wondered when Yuanjia, a little girl, actually had a brain.

Qi Jinzhi first calmed her sister's emotions. There were not many choices left for them, so they had to be careful every step they took.

In fact, he is quite disgusted with King Yu now. This man is like a small person. He thinks that he is about to take over the power and no one will notice. He looks like he deserves a beating.

Seeing the little emperor being carried, he hurried forward to greet his little nephew.

When Qi Meizhi saw her son arriving, she calmed down the anger on her face.

As Queen Mother Qi took the little emperor's hand and walked into the Golden Palace, the officials immediately knelt down to greet the emperor.

King Yu, who was the most conspicuous among the crowd, only bent slightly and glanced sideways at the young emperor, his eyes full of contempt. His disrespectful attitude fell into the eyes of the ministers. They were already used to it, but they still couldn't stand it. If it hadn't been for his identity, someone would have jumped up and accused him of being a traitor.

However, no one from the clan said anything. Although Emperor Dezong had many heirs, not many survived. King Yu also had good fortune and took advantage of Xiao Mingzhang's mistakes. They couldn't envy his luck.

In this case, they might as well shut up and live a good life in the future.

Seeing this scene, Qi Meizhi was very angry, but due to the occasion, she couldn't get angry. She could only hold Eunuch Zhang's hand and sit behind the curtain.

Even if she cannot listen to politics behind the curtain, she will never be absent from the bimonthly imperial court. This is an important opportunity for her to demonstrate her power.

Everyone then knelt down three times, kowtowed three times, and shouted long live.

King Yu just half-knelt on the ground and did something perfunctory. Sitting on the high platform, she could see clearly and instantly tightened the handkerchief in her hand.

endure.

She secretly warned herself that a little impatience would mess up a big plan. It took a lot of effort for her to get to where she is today, so she couldn't fall short.

The little emperor was still young, so she said, "Everyone is equal."

Only then did everyone stand up again.

King Yu spoke directly, "Now that Ninth Brother is unconscious, the court has been suspended for a long time, and the people are even more uproar. I propose that a regent should be appointed to oversee the country. This is a good thing for the country and the people. "

"I second the proposal."

"I also second my opinion."

The ministers who stood up and agreed one after another turned out to be colluding.

Only a few relatively high-ranking auxiliary ministers stood still and did not move. In fact, they were the key.

"My lords, do you think you don't agree with this king's proposal?"

King Yu directly put pressure on these old immortals. These people were left by the late emperor to protect the young emperor. They had lost their temper under Xiao Mingzhang over the years, and now they dared to be tough in front of him. This is I don't know how to write the word "death".

Several auxiliary ministers looked at each other, and they couldn't hide their disgust for King Yu even if they wanted to.

One of them was so angry that he stood up and cursed at King Yu, "You traitorous minister, the regent is still alive, when will it be your turn to show off your authority here..."

King Yu turned his wrist and looked at the old minister who was not afraid of death. Although he was a high-ranking official in the court, he really didn't take him seriously.

"What is the crime for insulting this king?"

When he asked, someone immediately jumped out and said, "Your Majesty, this is a serious crime of contempt for the royal family. He should be punished with disrespect and sent to prison."

"You, you guys are all in the same boat..."

"Since he wants to die, let's drag him out."

King Yu slightly raised his eyelids and ordered coldly.

The auxiliary minister who was a high-ranking official was immediately dragged down, and his screams and curses could not be heard.

King Yu took out his ears and said, "It's really noisy, so cut off his tongue."

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.
