"Let's see who among you has the guts!"
"In the Southern Chen Kingdom, according to the ancestral rules of the Xiao family, the will of our ancestors must not be allowed to influence the decisions of our descendants."
"Therefore, the late emperor's edict is invalid!"
Zheng Duoyu finally realized his situation and began to plan for his future.
"A counterfeiter dares to speak so arrogantly about the Xiao family's ancestral rules? You're not worthy!"
Xiao Sheng activated the mechanism that Xu Ningyou had created for him, and the hidden arrow in his sleeve shot directly at Zheng Duoyu.
The shot hit Zheng Duoyu right between the eyebrows.
Zheng Duoyu fell to the ground.
"Today, I have killed a villain who impersonated my father and seized the throne. Do any of my beloved ministers have any objections?"
The courtiers were amazed by the crown prince's methods and courage.
At such a young age, he's already so capable of taking things on and letting them go!
Just as the Crown Prince finished speaking, Li Ting pushed the real Emperor Hui into the Golden Palace.
The courtiers in the main hall saw Emperor Hui sitting on a cart, and then looked at the fallen "Emperor Hui," and were momentarily stunned.
Even Wan Nian was shocked!
What's going on?
"Grand Tutor Li, this, this, this..."
"Prime Minister Wan, what you see is what you get; it's exactly what you're seeing!"
"These people are disrupting the court and should be executed according to the law! What's the point of trying them?"
Xiao Ling immediately ordered Zhao Yunwan to be taken to prison.
They deployed a large number of men to guard the prison.
Wang Yangchun was standing outside the Golden Palace, waiting to be summoned.
Consort Chen summoned the imperial physician to the palace.
Wang Yangchun carried his medicine chest into the Golden Palace.
First, he conducted an examination on the fake Emperor Hui.
"This man is Zheng Duoyu, the emperor's personal eunuch. He has a red birthmark on his back."
“I often see him, so this can’t be wrong.”
After saying that, Wang Yangchun tore Zheng Duoyu's clothes off the back, revealing a red birthmark.
Yuan Qibao also testified that Zheng Duoyu did indeed have a red birthmark on his back. In addition, Zheng Duoyu's godson, Xiaodouzi, also switched sides at this moment, testifying that Zheng Duoyu was impersonating Emperor Hui.
Wang Yangchun then went to perform an examination on Emperor Hui.
"Your Highness, Your Highness the Crown Prince, the Emperor was injured in the head. It is already a blessing that he has woken up."
"As for the others, the chances of recovery are extremely, extremely small! Furthermore..."
Wang Yangchun wanted to say more, but suddenly stopped.
"Speak, and I will pardon you."
"Your Majesty's current mental capacity is like that of a three-year-old child, and he will need to be cared for for the rest of his life. I am powerless to help you with this condition."
"There's a genius doctor in the countryside who might be able to treat this."
"Oh? Who is it?"
"He is the sworn brother of Grand Tutor Li, Doctor Fan Zu'an."
"Summon Fan Zu'an to the palace to treat the emperor!"
"Your Majesty, I will go immediately."
Upon receiving the order, Wang Yangchun hurriedly headed out of the palace.
Silence returned to the Golden Palace.
"What other opinions do you gentlemen have regarding the Crown Prince's succession to the throne?"
Consort Chen asked a question.
Before meeting the real Emperor Hui, some court officials were quite dissatisfied with the Crown Prince's behavior, believing that the Crown Prince was too arbitrary.
After meeting Emperor Hui, all the court officials believed that the Crown Prince's actions were almost flawless.
The opportunistic nature of those seasoned veterans is on full display.
The Prime Minister knelt down first.
"Your Majesty, we respectfully welcome His Highness the Crown Prince to the throne! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"
"All of you, rise."
"The coronation ceremony will be held after March, before the end of the year. During this period, the main task is to thoroughly investigate the spies that the Great Yue Kingdom and the Great Liang Kingdom have planted in our Southern Chen Kingdom, and kill them all without mercy!"
"Purge the hostile forces in the imperial city and restore peace to the capital."
"Rectify military discipline!"
"Investigate and punish all those who have been corrupt in recent years."
"To stabilize public morale and reduce taxes."
"If there are any people in the court who are involved with the Great Yue Kingdom, their punishment will be determined according to the severity of their crimes."
“Those with serious offenses will be executed on the spot, and their parents, wives, and children will also be implicated. Those with minor offenses will have their property confiscated and their entire family exiled to the army.”
Li Ting felt gratified as he listened to Xiao Sheng's methodical work arrangements.
The position of Grand Tutor to the Crown Prince should be handed over.
Upon learning that Chu Ying had escaped, Li Ting immediately bid farewell to Consort Chen and the Crown Prince and rushed home to ask Xu Ningyou for help.
Xu Ningyou issued a martial arts decree, earnestly requesting martial arts practitioners to help find Chu Ying.
He also ordered the secret agents of the Qianji Gate to conduct a search and arrest operation throughout Quan Nanchen.
In no time, all the people of Nanchen Kingdom knew what had happened in the capital.
In the Northwest Army, Dong Minghui learned that the Zhao family was doomed, so he led his troops to raid Zhao Yunchen's armory and captured the city without breaking a sweat.
The various weapons used in the siege were distributed by Dong Minghui to various camps in the Northwest.
The iron mines were also taken over by the imperial court.
Li Ting handed over Zhao Yunchen's private military tally to Dong Minghui, thus creating three armies guarding the Northwest.
The Flying Tiger Army, Gui Dongkai, and Dong Minghui formed a powerful triangular force to guard the northwest of Nanchen Kingdom.
Seeing that the military equipment of the Southern Chen Kingdom had been upgraded to a new level, the Great Liang Kingdom dared not act rashly.
Huangfu Chuxiong learned of the upheaval in Nanchen Kingdom and wanted to profit from it, but Dong Qi in the southwest had already made preparations.
The Great Yue Kingdom's sneak attack gained them no advantage whatsoever.
Although the capital has changed, the generals guarding the southwest and northwest of Nanchen Kingdom are all under Xiao Sheng's command, so it will not affect the border defense at all.
This time, the Great Liang Kingdom acted like a coward, remaining inactive no matter how the Southern Chen Kingdom changed its tactics.
When Li Xingran learned at home that Xiao Sheng had finally obtained the throne, she was happy for him.
The course of this book was completely changed because of my arrival.
I just don't know how Xiao Yuyan is doing?
