King Xucheng was very magnanimous and walked calmly to the center of the square.
On the left and right are the civil and military officials, and in front and behind are the cabinet dukes.
On the high platform are the emperor and queen who are busy with state affairs.
All around were venerables sent by various well-known forces.
This was the first time that Venerable Qixuan had seen the King of Xucheng. In the past, he always felt timid in front of him as if he were an elder or a teacher. But now, he exuded the aura of a king or a tyrant. Yes, the aura of a king or a tyrant.
Venerable Qixuan felt a little relieved that his son had finally grown up and the Holy Dynasty was about to enter his era!
There is also a trace of reluctance. After all, people are all made of flesh and blood. He has watched his child grow up, and with his earnest teachings, he has walked step by step to where he is today. In the future, he may have to become a powerful official first, and then see the situation of the saints in ten thousand years. He may even want to sit in that position!
Just think of it as the last lesson he teaches this junior who is not his apprentice.
"Your Highness has greeted His Majesty."
The Prince of Xucheng now only has his father in his eyes, and indeed, there should only be his father.
The Holy Lord did not say anything, but just waved his hand, signaling Yuan Bingyan to continue.
Yuan Bingyan took out an imperial edict of spiritual treasure quality and began to read it.
"I believe that the mandate of heaven is in my hands, and the country is my top priority. Since ancient times, all the holy dynasties have followed the laws of their ancestors.
Since I ascended the throne, I have worked hard day and night to ensure peace and prosperity. Now that I am old, considering the long-term plans for the country, the selection of a crown prince is a top priority.
Among my sons, Prince Xucheng has an upright character and both talent and virtue. He has been educated by famous teachers since childhood and is well-versed in classics and history. He is also kind-hearted, sympathetic to the people, has made great achievements in his cultivation, and has made many contributions to his career. He enjoys a good reputation both inside and outside the court.
I have observed his words and deeds and examined his aspirations and interests, and I believe that he is the best candidate to inherit the throne.
Hereby, in accordance with the family rules of our ancestors and with the witness of all the wise men in heaven and earth, I have decided to make him the Crown Prince to carry on the responsibility of the ancestral temple and continue the foundation for eternity.
All ministers should assist me wholeheartedly, work together for national affairs, and do not let me down.
All the people of the world and the monks of the Holy Dynasty should also be of one mind and wish the Crown Prince good health, and pray that our country will be peaceful and prosperous for thousands of years. "
In the square, the civil and military officials and monks of the Holy Dynasty who were guarding in mid-air all clasped their fists and bowed.
"I obey your order."
"Greetings, His Royal Highness~"
The hula-la sound is quite spectacular.
Just when Cheng Ping'an was wondering when he would go on stage, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince walked up to the podium, expressed his gratitude in person, and then faced the square. Yuan Bingyan walked over and took out another imperial edict, motioning for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to read it.
The new Crown Prince said without hesitation, "The universe is bright, the sun and the moon are shining, and the holy dynasty must take loyalty as the foundation and treachery as a precaution.
However, today, between the government and the people, there is the Prime Minister Qixuan, who has ulterior motives, is ungrateful, forms cliques for personal gain, colludes with foreign enemies, and attempts to overthrow the imperial power and disrupt the order of the court. Such traitors are unforgivable and a cause of outrage from both heaven and earth!
That villain is in the highest position among the high-ranking officials, but instead of thinking about serving the country, he launches major cases, eliminates dissidents, disregards the safety of the country, secretly colludes with foreign villains, conspires against evil, and wants to hand over our beautiful land to others. He is truly a parasite of the country and a cancer of the society!
The Crown Prince is ordered to conduct a thorough investigation of this beast, with Yuan Bingyan assisting him. I decree this."
The prince's eyes were full of indifference, without a trace of cowardice or doubt. How could he not know that his father was doing this for his own good and his uncle was powerful, so he was the beneficiary?
The past was the past, and the present is the present. In the past they joined forces for the position of crown prince.
But now, he has become the crown prince, and the thought of his uncle's power makes him unable to sleep or eat!
His father gave him a chance to clean up the court and put his own people in place, and he felt deeply his father's love for him.
After receiving the order, Yuan Bingyan waved his hand.
The monks in the air took out small flags one after another, and instantly a large formation covered the square, and all the civil and military officials seemed to be in shackles.
Cheng Pingan poked Huaijun beside him, "What kind of formation is this!"
Huaijun glanced at Cheng Pingan, as if he was looking at a wild man from some mountain valley, "The humane law of the Holy Dynasty!"
"Oh shit, this involves humanitarian rules?"
"Fellow Daoist, read more books when you have nothing to do in Mirror Lake. This is a trap formation, but it's a little more powerful. It will have an impact on people with five or six levels of fusion. As for the name, it's the Holy Dynasty, it's a face-saving thing."
Cheng Ping'an breathed a sigh of relief. I was so scared that I thought you were hiding something from me. What rules are there here?
"Fellow Daoist Cheng, why are you so nervous about a formation? The foreign enemy that the Holy Dynasty is talking about, it can't be you!" Huaijun was a little suspicious.
"I'm not, I don't, how could it be possible!"
Cheng Ping'an decisively denied it three times in a row!
There are so many people here, how can we admit it? The justice of Jinghu Lake must be maintained!
Venerable Qixuan was slightly stunned, but immediately regained his composure.
After all, he is an old official.
He strode to the center of the square. The formation had little effect on him and was almost negligible. However, a few dukes kept locking their auras on him.
He didn't care, "I have served three dynasties. Since Prince Yingchuan plotted rebellion, I have been prepared."
"I thought I could retire after doing that, but now... Never mind."
"This old minister will kowtow to the Holy Lord for the last time!"
After saying this, he took off his official hat and official uniform, leaving only his plain silk robes. After arranging them neatly, he performed a great salute to the Holy Emperor on the high platform.
This made many civil and military officials of the Holy Dynasty tremble in their hearts. Although the old prime minister was a little overbearing, he was definitely conscientious.
The Holy Lord is really ruthless. He threw away his own son, then cleared out a group of officials. After using them to do the dirty work, he uprooted them, even if he gave them the title of Duke!
Just to clear the obstacles for the new emperor!
The imperial family is the most ruthless. They have so many sons, but they just say they don’t want them. How cruel!
The veteran actor Venerable Qixuan, with tears in his eyes, looked at the crown prince who was standing with his hands behind his back after announcing the decree. He just stared at him from a distance without saying a word.
All those present were monks, so naturally they all understood what was happening.
The Prime Minister was pleased that his younger generation and disciple really had the potential to be an emperor. The first thing he did when he got ashore was to kill his uncle with his sword.
Everyone has seen how the Prime Minister treats this prince. Now it seems that this prince is really born to be an emperor and is cold-hearted by nature!
The officials of Lord Qixuan's faction in the square were like eggplants hit by frost, with their heads down and no resistance at all. What was there to resist? Their boss had surrendered.
It is impossible for him to revolt suddenly, as that would prove that he is colluding with foreign enemies and intends to rebel.
He now sees it very clearly that someone in this scene will not let him die. If he dies, the drama will be missing a piece.
I can’t sing anymore!
