Immortality starts from eating melons in the cold palace

Chapter 86 King Jin ascends the throne and the prince returns to Beijing

The next day.

All civil and military officials are on duty.

I was shocked to find that the palace gate was blocked.

The palace gates are usually not blocked.

Once it is blocked, it will be an earth-shattering event.

But what exactly happened was not known to the civil and military officials until the sun went up.

He was only vaguely aware that there was a change in the throne.

In the palace.

The situation has been controlled by Queen Chu and Concubine Zhuang.

Queen Chu is the biological mother of King Jin, so she is naturally on King Jin's side.

Concubine Zhuang had an affair with Prince Jin, so she naturally followed Prince Jin in everything.

These two men took action and took control of the situation in the palace.

There was solemnity and tight security in the palace.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

"Wang Daban, how do you take care of your father?"

"My father was killed by a traitor, and you don't even know who the murderer is."

King Jin's sharp shouts echoed in the Yangxin Hall, and the grief on his face was vivid and his acting skills were superb.

boom--

boom--

boom--

"Damn slave!"

"Damn slave!"

"Damn slave!"

Wang Daban kept kowtowing with so much force that he looked like a first-grade warrior, and his forehead even started to bleed.

Wang Gonggong is the great companion of Emperor Jingming. For people like him, once the new emperor ascends the throne, the best end is to return to his hometown to retire.

What's more, Emperor Jingming died so tragically that he might not even have the chance to return to his hometown for retirement.

After King Jin scolded him, he changed the subject.

"Your Majesty, a family cannot be without a master for a day, and a country cannot be without a king for a day."

"Take out the imperial edict passed down to me by my father."

After King Jin said this, Wang Daban understood what King Jin meant.

Emperor Jingming died suddenly, with no posthumous edict at all.

The King of Jin wanted him to pass on the imperial edict in disguise.

A heavy cold sweat broke out from Wang Daman's head.

At this time, he seemed to be down and didn't respond.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty did not stay..."

King Jin suddenly shouted sharply.

"Wang Daman, think it through before you speak."

"After the edict is read out, you can return to your hometown to retire."

Wang Daman moved his lips a few times, nodded and said.

"Old slave, go and get the imperial edict now."

The King of Jin even made conditions for him to return to his hometown for retirement. If he continues to be ignorant, he will only die.

Wang Daban took out a blank imperial edict and wrote a will.

He was Emperor Jingming's eunuch Zhang Yin. When Emperor Jingming was tired, he would help Emperor Jingming wear red clothes.

Therefore, it was easy for him to copy Emperor Jingming's notes.

Write the edict and seal it.

"Wang Daban, summon all civil and military officials to read out the imperial edict."

"promise!"

……

The people in the capital were the most well-informed people in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.

Because those who are not well-informed are basically dead.

The strange atmosphere outside the palace today has long been noticed by the people in the capital.

The doors of each house are closed tightly and they cannot leave their homes.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the breaking news came out.

Emperor Jingming suddenly fell ill last night and died in the Yangxin Hall.

Decide to pass the throne to the King of Jin.

In the morning of this morning, after the prince read out the imperial edict, the Minister of Rites immediately expressed doubts and wildly said that this was a false edict.

Tang Xuan, the Minister of Rites, was the deputy commander-in-chief of the Beijing camp and was a confidant of the prince.

He was the first to jump out and question Emperor Jingming's last edict.

Immediately afterwards, more than ten important ministers expressed their opposition.

With the establishment of a direct descendant and a crown prince, it was impossible for the King of Jin to succeed to the throne.

Even if Emperor Jingming's last edict was true, they refused to obey it.

The opposition of more than ten important ministers made King Jin so angry that he almost smashed the dragon chair. On the spot, the Jin Yiwei were ordered to put the princelings headed by Tang Xuan into the sky prison.

After going to court, King Jin went to pay homage to the ancestors of the royal family.

The royal ancestor is missing.

King Jin suddenly felt confident.

The ancestors of the royal family have the same attitude towards the inheritance of the throne as before.

The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit.

As long as the person sitting on the dragon chair is of Zhu family blood, that's fine.

This gave King Jin greater confidence.

Emperor Jingming died at the right time.

The prince was not in the capital, which gave him the opportunity.

If the prince was in the capital when Emperor Jingming died, he would have no chance at all.

King Jin was like a drowning man, grasping at the last straw and clinging to this glimmer of opportunity.

On the second day, twenty officials were thrown into jail.

On the third day, fifty officials were imprisoned.

On the fourth day, more than 100 officials were imprisoned.

The King of Jin purged the princelings from important court officials to mid-level officials.

From civil servants in the central government to military commanders in the capital camp.

After three days of purges and replacing his confidants, he finally basically took control of the situation in the capital.

On the fifth day after the death of Emperor Jingming, the Minister of Rites wrote a letter inviting the King of Jin to ascend the throne.

After three requests and three resignations from the King of Jin, he ascended the throne as emperor and changed his reign name to Jianwu.

On the day he ascended the throne, Emperor Jianwu's first imperial edict was sent to the prince in the northern border area.

The prince was ordered to resign as marshal of the army and return to Beijing alone to resume his duties.

After the imperial edict was issued, Emperor Jianwu still felt unsafe.

Twelve imperial envoys were sent in succession, holding gold medals, to the border areas to deliver orders to the prince.

……

[You witnessed the King of Jin clean up the dynasty and absorbed the power of the years. Witness points +100! 】

[You witnessed King Jin’s ascension to the throne and became Emperor Jianwu, drawing on the power of the years, witness points +300! 】

[You witnessed Emperor Jianwu issuing twelve gold medals in a row and summoning the prince back to the capital. Witness points +200! 】

……

Outside Fengxueguan.

The army camp.

The prince has learned about the death of Emperor Jingming.

What followed was twelve gold medals calling him back to Beijing.

"Your Highness, you must never obey any pretense."

"Let's take Fusu as a warning!"

"The King of Jin colludes with the demons. If the world falls into the hands of the King of Jin, the country will definitely not be able to rule the country!"

Zhang Wenzheng, Yan Nantian and other confidants knelt down to admonish him.

Fusu, the eldest son of Qin Shihuang, was in charge of the Great Wall Army, but he hanged himself because of a false edict.

Not only did he get himself killed, but he also caused the entire Qin Dynasty to fall.

Past experience guide for the future.

The prince is familiar with history books, so of course he knows about the Qin Dynasty.

What if Fusu did not obey Jiao's edict and instead led 300,000 Great Wall troops to fight back to Xianyang.

The Qin Dynasty may not die after two generations.

"I love you all my life."

"Gu is not Fusu, nor is he as pedantic as Fusu."

"Guhui regards the Great Zhou Dynasty as the most important thing, how can he sit back and watch his second brother bring trouble to the world?"

"Mr. Yan, you command 50,000 elite cavalry and follow me to the capital. I want to keep my filial piety for my father."

"Wenzheng, after I leave alone, I will leave the army under your command. I don't seek merit, but I seek no fault."

"promise!"

On the same day, the prince returned to the capital with an army of 50,000.

……

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

At this time, this place had become the office of Emperor Jianwu.

When Emperor Jianwu saw the information, he couldn't control his anger and roared out.

"rebel!"

"Is this a rebellion?"

"Do we need fifty thousand troops and an innate grandmaster to keep our father's filial piety?"

"Are you treating me as a fool?"

Emperor Jianwu was so angry that his nose twisted when he saw the prince's lame excuse.
