The new emperor finally realized that Fang Zhiyi wasn't the emperor! He was a powerful official riding on his head! He wanted to use the emperor to rule the world!
But before he could say anything, Fang Zhiyi ordered the officials to leave the court. Under the threat of swords and spears, the court officials ran away very quickly.
The next day, the Emperor issued an edict, conferring upon Fang Zhiyi the title of King of a different surname for his meritorious service in slaying the treacherous ministers! Furthermore, all five of his military governors were granted titles, and all the troops stationed on the northern border were rewarded according to their merits!
There was jubilation among the Northern Frontier Army.
Although I don't know how to respond, our general is now a king of a different surname! This is the first time since the founding of the country!
The two armies that came to support the capital received the imperial edict and learned that the northern border was only trying to quell the civil unrest, so they turned back. However, many people in the capital never woke up after they fell asleep.
The new emperor knew that things had changed, and the palace maids and eunuchs were replaced one after another. They looked at him and Liu Guxia as if they were prisoners. The next day when he went to court, the court officials who supported him were no longer there, but there were some new faces. No one objected, as if this was the way things were. The only difference was that there was an extra chair next to the dragon table, and Fang Zhiyi sat there when he went to court.
The new emperor has no intention of flirting with Liu Guxia anymore. He wants to turn the tables and make Fang Zhiyi regret not killing him!
He began to quietly pass on the message outside the palace, and indeed he contacted the people outside the palace. But on the day when they were ready to rise, countless men in black rushed into the mansion. That night, a eunuch came to find the new emperor holding a wooden box.
"Your Majesty, Prince Fang said that this gift can calm the mind." The eunuch's posture was very respectful, but there was a hint of mockery in his tone.
The new emperor was frightened by the head of his own body in the wooden box.
The next day in the court, Fang Zhiyi announced something. In order to protect the emperor's safety, he established a secret agency, which he would be in charge of. Anyone from court officials to street vendors could be their spy.
Since then, the court has been in a state of panic and everyone is in danger.
Yesterday, someone got drunk at home and said that the Fang family was rebellious. The next day, this person was executed for the crime of corruption.
The new emperor and Liu Guxia were arguing, and the new emperor was always at a disadvantage. At this time, someone came to submit a memorial, and Fang Zhiyi wrote on the memorial asking him to be more cheerful and not lose points.
Gradually, the rest of the Xia army was taken over by commanders promoted by Fang Zhiyi.
Aunt Liu in the prison was stunned when she heard the news brought by the jailer: "Fang Zhiyi didn't become emperor? He became a king of a different surname?"
The jailer spat and said, "If you call the prince's name again, I will give you an extra beating today!"
Aunt Liu stared blankly at the jailer in front of her.
"The emperor is nothing. Everyone knows that any request from the emperor must be approved by Prince Fang."
Fang Wenyuan, who was standing by, quickly lay down beside the fence and said, "My eldest brother has become a king of a different surname. Let us out!"
The jailer took a step back and said, "It's a blessing to let you live. You still want to escape? Don't forget your crime of killing the old prince!"
"Can you teach me again?" Fang Zhiyi asked the spy in front of him while enjoying the maid's shoulder massage.
"Your Highness, your aunt and her father were locked in a cage together. They were arguing fiercely and even came to blows." The spy danced excitedly. "That Fang Wenyuan even bit her. How could Liu Wenhui be so strong against two people? When I came out, she was lying on the ground groaning."
"Yeah, okay. Anyway, just tell them about the food outside regularly. Don't let them eat well, but don't let them starve to death either."
