Chapter 180: The Regent King Ascends the Throne, Officials Pay Homage
Looking at the civil and military officials standing on the stage with their heads lowered.
The Regent smiled complacently.
Now, the long-cherished wish of more than 20 years has finally come true!
Zhou Xuan, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, walked out of the queue.
Everyone in the hall instantly gathered around him.
I saw that under the gaze of everyone.
Zhou Xuan calmly took out the edict written by the Regent from her arms.
Then, after clearing his throat, he shouted loudly.
"Everyone, before the emperor passed away."
"The will has been prepared long ago. I will read it out now!"
When they heard that it was the emperor's last will, all the civil and military officials gasped.
Everyone knows that it is impossible for the emperor to leave a will.
This will must have been written by the Regent!
But how could they dare to say it out loud ?
The royal guards standing guard on the side always kept their hands on the swords at their waists.
If anyone dares to stand up, these royal guards will definitely attack without hesitation.
Let them regret coming into this world!
Seeing that no one dared to stand up, the Regent nodded with satisfaction.
Then, Zhou Xuan began to read out the will.
"I know that I don't have much time left, so I leave this will!"
"After my death, the throne will be inherited by the Regent."
"To inherit the throne of the Xia Kingdom, I decree!"
As this simple and somewhat hasty will was read out.
Zhou Xuan immediately turned around and knelt down in front of the Regent who was standing in front of the dragon throne.
"I beg the regent to take over the throne to reassure the people of our country!"
Following Zhou Xuan's loud shout, a group of ministers who had already defected to the Regent.
They walked out of the line one after another and knelt down in front of the Regent.
Following Zhou Xuan, they shouted in unison.
"Please, my lord, take over the throne!"
However, at this moment, an old voice sounded.
It is the veteran of three dynasties - Yuan Taifu!
"Lin Qingcheng, you are so brave!"
"How dare you write such a false edict in the name of the emperor."
"It's simply treason!"
As a loyal minister of the royal family, Yuan Taifu pointed directly at the regent's nose and cursed.
This immediately made the Regent's face turn ugly.
Originally, the Regent thought that as long as he was a little more kind to these loyal royal ministers.
These guys won't come out to cause trouble.
But he underestimated the loyalty of these old ministers to the royal family!
As Yuan Taifu stood up, several senior officials in high positions also stood up.
They all started to scold the Regent.
"It seems that this king is really too kind to you!"
Looking at these ignorant royal loyalists, the Regent said coldly.
"how?!"
"You traitor, do you still want to murder me?"
Looking at the Regent who had murderous intentions, Yuan Taifu questioned fearlessly.
As a veteran of three dynasties, Yuan Taifu has many students.
Several of Prince An and Prince Jin's capable subordinates were students of Yuan Taifu.
Even the governors and governors of the seven states of the Xia Kingdom.
They are all disciples of Master Yuan!
Therefore, Yuan Taifu was not afraid at all that the Regent would kill him.
Once he is killed, his students will rise up against the regent and ascend the throne.
Looking at the fearless Tutor Yuan, the Regent's expression became increasingly ugly.
He couldn't kill Yuan Taifu, but he could kill the other ministers who were loyal to the royal family.
He can kill at will!
So the Regent shouted directly.
"Someone, come here, drag these people who are talking nonsense out of here for me!"
"When I ascend the throne, I will kill them all!"
Following the order from the Regent, the Royal Guards, who had been unable to contain themselves, stepped forward.
All the ministers except Taifu Yuan were taken away.
Looking at his old friend being taken away, Master Yuan's face suddenly turned dark.
"You...you traitor, you shall not die a good death!"
"Hahahaha, you're not going to die well?"
"This prince inherits the throne according to the emperor's last words."
"You old fools, you better be reasonable."
"Otherwise, I don't mind having more blood on my hands!"
The Regent has lost his patience with these royal loyalists.
The murderous intent in my heart has been uncontrollably rising.
Seeing the regent being so tyrannical, the ministers who were originally neutral.
He walked out of the queue in an instant and knelt in front of the Regent.
At this time, only Master Yuan was still standing there alone.
Looking at this scene, Master Yuan shook his head sadly.
The whole person walked out of the hall slowly, leaving behind a lonely back.
After Yuan Taifu left, the Regent's murderous intent finally dissipated.
He watched as all the civil and military officials in the court prostrated themselves at his feet.
The Regent laughed out loud in high spirits!
"Hahaha, from today on."
"I am the emperor of the Xia Kingdom!"
"Your Majesty, long live the Emperor!"
Listen to the unanimous shouts of all the civil and military officials in the court.
The Regent was satisfied and let the eunuch Li Xianglian put on the dragon robe for him.
Then, he sat firmly on the dragon throne he had longed for!
Afterwards, the news of the regent's ascension to the throne spread throughout the Xia Kingdom.
Prince An, who was waiting for a secret letter from Concubine Shu, waited for three days but did not see the letter arrive.
Instead, he received the news that the Regent had ascended the throne.
"It seems that the Xu family has decided to stand on the side of the Regent."
"Damn it, Xu Ruozhi!"
"How dare you, you bitch, deceive this king!"
"Come here, send someone to contact the border general of Canglang Country immediately."
"This king has something important to discuss with them!"
Prince An, who thought that the Xu family had betrayed him, said angrily to his men around him.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
At the same time that Prince An was meeting with the envoy from the Canglang Kingdom, in the south of the Yangtze River, inside the Prince Huai'an's palace.
Prince Huai'an looked at the information in his hand , while Yu Qingbei stood beside him.
"Father, what should we do now?"
Yu Qingbei looked at the information about the regent's accession to the throne and asked in confusion.
"What else can we do? We can't do anything now."
"Let your second uncle have a good fight with your nominal uncle first!"
As he spoke, King Huai'an smiled slightly, stood up and walked to the window of the study.
Looking in the direction of the imperial capital, Prince Huai'an muttered to himself.
"Jiang Chen, Jiang Chen, I am looking forward to it."
"In this turmoil, how much you will transform."
Prince Huai'an saw through Jiang Chen the first time he saw him.
Jiang Chen is also a hero.
However, this hero has not grown up yet.
But the current turmoil is enough to allow Jiang Chen to grow.
Therefore, King Huai'an believed that
After this turmoil, Jiang Chen will definitely become a capable assistant to his fourth brother.
So what if Jiang Chen is a eunuch!
As long as Jiang Chen has enough strength, that will be enough.
