After Qin Zhentian finished speaking, there was a burst of discussion in the hall.
Such a sudden succession of power was beyond the expectations of many people, and there was only one month from the decision to pass the throne to Qin Xuan's ascension to the throne.
"Your Majesty, is it ill-considered to pass on the throne so hastily?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's cultivation is not yet high. Now is the golden time for cultivation. Perhaps it would be better to wait a little longer."
"His Majesty--"
Soon many ministers stood up and spoke out in opposition.
The Tianlong Empire is too large and has too many forces. The ministers in the court represent the interests of many forces.
Qin Zhentian suddenly decided to pass the throne to Qin Xuan, which caught them off guard. They had to give Qin Zhentian some time to discuss.
In addition, some people had already been instructed that if Qin Zhentian passed the throne to Qin Xuan, they had to stand up and oppose it.
——For example, ministers who were secretly wooed by other countries or a certain prince.
Sitting on the imperial throne, Qin Zhentian had a blank expression on his face.
Many ministers who secretly supported King Xiaoyao stood up.
They had received news about King Xiaoyao some time ago. In their opinion, King Xiaoyao had left for an important matter.
But Qin Xuan cannot inherit the throne when King Xiaoyao leaves.
——They didn’t know that King Xiaoyao had been captured.
"My dear ministers, if you have any opinions, please feel free to speak up."
Qin Zhentian said in a deep voice.
After hearing what Qin Zhentian said, more people stood up, especially those who supported King Xiaoyao. They had already boarded King Xiaoyao's ship, and if they retreated and were exposed, they might die.
"Everyone, it seems that many of you oppose my decision."
Qin Zhentian said in a deep voice.
"During my reign, I worked diligently and cautiously to maintain the stability of the Tianlong Empire. Perhaps I was too lenient towards you."
Many of His Highness's ministers felt something was wrong.
"Someone come!"
Qin Zhentian shouted.
Many palace guards quickly rushed into the hall.
"Arrest all the people on this list!"
"Anyone who dares to resist will have their entire clan executed!"
Qin Zhentian threw out a list. Most of the ministers on this list secretly supported King Xiaoyao, and some were found by Qin Zhentian to support others.
He would be retiring soon, and before that, he wanted to try his best to leave a cleaner court for Qin Xuan.
"Your Majesty, what have I done wrong?"
"Your Majesty, you can't arrest us just because we said a few words."
"I have always been loyal to you. Your Majesty, why are you doing this?"
…
All the ministers have cultivation skills, and they can use their spiritual sense to immediately know who is on the list Qin Zhentian threw out.
When they found themselves there, many people's faces changed drastically.
"Sir Wang, I'm sorry."
"Master Liu, please don't resist, otherwise don't blame us for being rude."
The palace guards quickly arrested everyone on the list and sealed their cultivation.
A total of about fifty people were arrested.
"Drag them out and behead them all."
Qin Zhentian ordered.
"hiss!"
Many of the other people in the hall gasped. Among the fifty or so ministers, many held the third rank.
The highest reached the first grade.
Qin Zhentian actually ordered the beheading of all fifty of them!
"Your Majesty, please think twice."
"Your Majesty, why are you doing this?"
Several ministers stood up.
Some of the ministers who were arrested were their friends.
Qin Zhentian said coldly, "They are all involved in treason. I have shown special mercy by not directly punishing their nine clans."
"Is there anyone who wants to plead for them?"
The few people who had just stood out quickly retreated.
They were all very scared.
These people were actually involved in treason and got involved. They didn't even know how they died.
Qin Xuan then said, "Father, why don't you give the captured people a chance to explain? Otherwise, the others might have doubts."
Qin Zhentian nodded slightly.
He looked coldly at the dozens of people who had been arrested: "You can explain now. You have two choices. First, confess directly, and I will be lenient with your family members."
"The second one, quibbling and refusing to confess. I will give you evidence. When the evidence is irrefutable, I will execute your entire clan according to the law."
The dozens of people who were arrested looked pale.
They didn't want to die, but no one dared to stand up and make excuses.
If he confessed his guilt, he might die alone. If he didn't confess his guilt, all the family members would die together. They could not decide which was more important.
"No one wants to explain themselves?"
Qin Zhentian said coldly, "You are all really my good subjects."
"Push him out and kill him!"
Dozens of people were quickly taken out, and before long, their heads were chopped off one by one.
"Um?"
Xiao Fan was extremely surprised.
These dozens of ministers were beheaded, and he gained the great fortune of the empire.
There were about fifty of them, and each of them held a high official position.
“The interval is a little short, but with such a huge amount of luck, I will definitely be able to sign in and obtain powerful treasures.”
"I hope my cultivation level can improve!"
Xiao Fan said in his heart.
His cultivation level of the Martial Emperor Perfection was already very high, but it was still not enough. Other countries had demigods and god-killing treasures.
"System, sign in."
Xiao Fan said in his mind.
"Successful sign-in. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Saint-level treasure, the Purple Sky Palace. Inside the Purple Sky Palace, the speed of cultivation can be greatly accelerated, and at the same time, you will be gradually controlled by the Purple Sky Palace."
The system's voice sounded in Xiao Fan's mind.
At the same time, a lot of information quickly flooded into Xiao Fan's mind.
Zixiao Heavenly Palace is a control-type treasure, suitable for use by the Death Legion or people like Wu Hai and Zhang Fu.
Or other powerful people that Xiao Fan wants to control.
But it is not suitable for Qin Xuan and others to practice in Zixiao Heavenly Palace.
Being controlled to the limit will be affected.
——Reaching the demigod level, or even the lower realm god level is no problem, but it is difficult for the controlled person to become a high-level god.
"Zixiao Heavenly Palace comes with 1,500 years of cultivation. Host, your cultivation has been elevated to the early stage of the Martial Emperor. Congratulations, host."
The system said again.
Powerful energy rushed into Xiao Fan's body frantically.
"Cool!"
If the timing wasn't inappropriate, Xiao Fan would have laughed out loud three times.
Xiao Fan was delighted that he had obtained a treasure like the Zixiao Heavenly Palace by signing in, and his cultivation had also been raised to the early stage of the Martial Emperor.
When the Martial Emperor had perfected his cultivation, his comprehensive combat power was at the late stage of the Martial Emperor. Now he is at the early stage of the Martial Emperor, and his comprehensive combat power is definitely at the perfect stage of the Martial Emperor.
In the Holy Word Continent, such strength is undoubtedly already a top powerhouse.
"My dear nobles, I wish to pass the throne to Xuan'er. Is there anyone who objects?"
Qin Zhentian asked from the throne.
There was a complete silence.
Who would be so foolish as to stand up and oppose at this time?
"Since you all have no objection, then it's settled!"
"Xuan'er, be prepared to succeed the throne!"
Qin Zhentian said majestically.
