This censor can handle it, he really sprays when something happens

Chapter 159 The second prince ascends the throne!Kneel down for me!

From the moment he saw the second prince leading troops into Yong'an Palace, Emperor Tianfu knew that King Huaixin was involved.

Because who else has the ability to infiltrate the imperial guards, besides King Huaixin?

Only his fourth brother has the ability!
Emperor Tianfu's eyes were extremely gloomy, he gritted his teeth and said, "You know that I want to pass the throne to Kun'er!"

"In this world of great contention, the ruler must be ruthless, you know, don't I know that!"

"I want Kun'er to become the emperor, let Qian'er assist Kun'er under your supervision, and govern my Great Zhou state; I wanted to open up my heart and talk with the two brothers, so that they don't focus on the mere state of Zhou, but rather Look around the world!"

"But you! You ruined everything!"

"You forced Kun'er to kill her brother with her own hands!"

At this time, Emperor Tianfu was extremely resentful towards King Huaixin, because King Huaixin was the only person he trusted!

His fellow brother!

But the person he trusted the most and closest to him betrayed him, which made him feel extremely painful.

"Even if you raise your own troops to rebel, I won't say anything, because you have the ability to be an emperor."

"But you just want to force my two best sons to kill each other, what are you doing for!"

Emperor Tianfu grabbed King Huaixin and kept shaking him to question.

This is what he never understood!
King Huaixin sighed, shook his head and said, "Brother Huang, after all these years, you still don't fully trust me."

"If I want to rebel, do I have to wait until now? Do I need to spend all my time planning all this?"

"I don't care about infamy or anything. All I want is the prosperity of Da Zhou."

King Huaixin looked up at Emperor Tianfu, his imperial brother.

It had been a long time since he had looked at Emperor Tianfu so closely, he was too old.

The high-spirited young emperor back then is long gone, and now there is only an old soul remaining in this decayed body.

"You're getting old, and you're starting to get fatuous."

"Both Wu Kun and Wu Gan are excellent successors, and either of them has the potential to become our great Zhou monarch."

"But it is absolutely impossible to allow them to coexist alone. It will only lead to shocks in the court and instability in the country."

"Once a person has ambition, it's hard to contain it. How ridiculous and naive is your attempt to persuade a prince who looks like an emperor to be subordinate to another person?"

King Huaixin mercilessly reprimanded Emperor Tianfu for being childish and ridiculous, this is also his real thought!
It was precisely because King Huaixin was completely disappointed after hearing about Emperor Tianfu's plan that day, that's why he had to do it no matter whether Emperor Tianfu chose the eldest prince or the second prince!
This is also to avoid turmoil after the big Sunday!

Emperor Tianfu was extremely angry in his heart, but he couldn't refute it, because he also noticed his mistakes.

From the beginning, this was his wishful thinking.

Whether it is Wu Kun or Wu Gan, are they really willing to be under each other?Willing to be another person's foil?

This question deeply hurt Emperor Tianfu's heart.

If what King Huaixin said is correct.

That means...he is the real murderer who killed Wu Gan!All because of his ignorance!

"Brother Huang, cherish the remaining time well."

"You have spent your entire life for the great Zhou and the imperial power, and the last few days are for you."

King Huaixin left after saying this.

Only Emperor Tianfu stayed in the hall alone.

Emperor Tianfu sat back down slumped, as if his whole body had been drained of vitality, and he suddenly aged ten years.

He is old.

……

……

The upheaval in Shengjing lasted only one day.

During this day, everyone in Shengjing was in panic, and many powerful ministers couldn't sleep all night.

Because they don't know what's going on.

On the second day, all the courtiers received the news, asking them all to go to participate in the early court.

Hearing this news, many people breathed a sigh of relief. Since they can still go to court normally, it means that there is nothing serious.

However, everyone is still puzzled by the entry of the infantry battalion into the city yesterday and the imposition of martial law throughout the city.

What was it that allowed the infantry barracks to enter the city?
With such doubts in mind, the officials rushed to the palace early the next morning to participate in the morning court.

When the civil and military officials passed through the Taixuan Gate to enter the imperial city, and then went to the Chengtian Hall to pay their respects, someone noticed a pool of dark red blood outside the Taixuan Gate.

Although it had been cleaned, the blood stains seeped into the cracks of the bricks, still making the ground a little glaring.

Taixuan Gate is a place that civil and military officials pass through on a daily basis, so they are naturally very familiar with it.

Now there is an extra blood stain here, which makes everyone who sees it secretly shocked.

Blood means death.

In addition, they also found that there was one more person among the hundreds of officials who went to court today——that is, King Huaixin!
"King Huaixin? Why did he come to court?"

"This... the feudal lord does not need to go to court on weekdays. What is he doing here today?"

"I knew yesterday's martial law was not easy."

"Isn't this one who wants to...?"

"Hush! Don't talk nonsense, go in first, and you will know what's going on when your majesty comes down."

"Speaking of which, it's time for His Majesty to announce the candidate for the crown prince?"

……

The officials were discussing in low voices, and many people were secretly looking at King Huaixin, each with different thoughts.

Soon the officials all walked into Chengtian Hall.

But Emperor Tianfu did not arrive early today.

So the officials stayed in their respective positions and waited patiently, waiting for the arrival of Emperor Tianfu.

After a long time, there was a sound of footsteps.

It's just that the sound of footsteps is not the footsteps of Emperor Tianfu, which the officials are used to, but steady and powerful!

Some ministers couldn't help turning their heads to look quietly.

Then they saw the second prince Wu Kun walking straight into the main hall and walking towards the high Kowloon steps!

"Second, Second Highness?!"

"Why not His Majesty, why is the Second Highness coming to preside over the meeting?"

"What happened in the palace yesterday?"

"Could it be... how is this possible?!"

"Where did the First Prince go?"

……

All the ministers became excited at once, and there was a lot of noise in the hall until Wu Kun walked up the Kowloon steps.

Standing at the position only one step away from the dragon chair, he looked down at the officials in the hall.

"quiet!"

The second prince snorted coldly and suppressed all the noise.

Then he took out an imperial edict from his pocket, unfolded it in front of the officials, and read it aloud:
"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said:

It has always been the case that emperors rule the world without respecting heaven and ancestors as their top priority.The truth of respecting the heaven and the ancestors is gentle, far and capable, resting and nourishing the common people, sharing the benefits of the world for benefits, and the heart of the world for the heart.

Preserving the country before it is in danger, bringing order to governance before it is in chaos, working hard all night long, sleeping without sleep, is a long-term national strategy, and it is close to it.

I am seventy years old and have been in office for 63 years. I really owe the silent protection of the Tiandi Zongshe, not my virtue.

Now that I am sick, the end is approaching, but the country cannot be without a king for a day. My second son, Wu Kun, has a noble character and is deeply respected by me. He will certainly be able to inherit the rule.

After I ascended the throne, that is, the emperor's throne, that is, I followed the public system, held the uniform for 27 days, released the uniform and announced it to China and foreign countries, and the salty envoys heard about it. "

"Kin this!"

After the second prince finished reading the imperial edict, all the officials in the palace were stunned, everyone was stunned!
Because this turned out to be... an imperial edict!
Emperor Tianfu passed the throne to the second prince!

Just when the officials were stunned, King Huaixin looked sideways at the officials and asked indifferently: "My lords, have you not heard the imperial edict?"

"What is in front of you now is the new monarch of my Great Zhou! Hurry up and bow down to worship the new monarch!"

The officials looked at each other, but no one said anything.

No one really bowed down.

Just because this news is too sudden!

Even Yang Ying, Sima Yan, Kong Wei and other ministers did not expect this scene, and were stunned for a while.

What's the situation, why did you suddenly announce the passing of the throne to the Second Prince?How could it be so fast?

"Your Majesty was still struggling to make a decision the day before yesterday. Why did you pass the throne to the Second Highness so suddenly?"

Yang Ying's eyes were full of surprise and doubt.

Sima Yan and Kong Wei were also puzzled.

"I object!"

A minister stood up directly, looked up at the second prince, and said with a gloomy face: "Your Highness, the succession of the throne is a matter of the country, and this matter should be announced by His Majesty himself."

"I haven't seen His Majesty now, so it's hard for me to judge whether the imperial edict in your hand is true or not."

Hearing the minister's words, the second prince put his hands behind his back and said calmly: "Yesterday there was a drastic change in the palace. The prince Wu Gan colluded with the palace guards in an attempt to initiate a palace change and hijack his father to inherit the throne."

"Fortunately, with the help of King Huaixin, I was able to quell the rebellion, and Wu Gan was beheaded outside the Taixuan Gate by my own hands!"

"Father was frightened, and now he is terminally ill, unconscious, and recuperating in the Hall of Mental Cultivation."

"This edict has already been written, and the seal of the emperor and the private seal of the emperor are on it. Do you still want to question it?"

The second prince casually threw the edict in his hand on the ground.

All the officials looked at it one after another, and they saw two red marks imprinted on the edict.

But at this time, no one cared whether the edict was true or not.

Instead, he was shocked by the words of the second prince!
The eldest prince Wu Gan intended to rebel, but was beheaded outside the Taixuan Gate by the second prince himself?

The officials immediately thought of the pool of blood.

That turned out to be the blood of the First Prince Wu Gan? !
In an instant, everyone felt chills all over their bodies, and a creepy feeling rushed from the soles of their feet to the top of the sky.

How can anyone not know what happened now!
It was the second prince Wu Kun who joined forces with King Huaixin to launch the palace coup, beheaded the eldest prince and won the throne!

"I object! I want to see His Majesty!"

"You are a false edict!"

Even if Grand Tutor Zhao Kuidang stood up to object, he yelled at the second prince angrily: "You killed your elder brother and joined forces with King Huaixin to launch a rebellion, what qualifications do you have to be called emperor!"

"Where is Your Majesty? I want to see Your Majesty!"

After Zhao Kui, a high-ranking minister, jumped out, several other ministers jumped out.

"That's right, we also oppose it!"

"This decree is simply false!"

"We want to see His Majesty!"

For a while, more than a dozen ministers jumped out to object, and other ministers were also ready to move.

The second prince Wu Kun's ascension to the throne was something that many courtiers did not want to see. Regardless of whether this edict was true or not, and whether Emperor Tianfu really wanted to pass on the throne to Wu Kun, they would all oppose it!
Because they represent the interests of the family.

Only when Wu Gan comes to power can they meet their expectations!
"presumptuous!!"

Wu Kun was suddenly furious, with murderous intent in his eyes, he waved his hands and ordered, "Where is the imperial guard!"

"Crash--!"

Accompanied by the sound of dense footsteps and the clash of armor, hundreds of heavily armed imperial guards entered the palace.

These Imperial Guards are no longer the original Imperial Guards.

All of them were replaced by his personal pro-army!

Hundreds of imperial guards surrounded the entire hall, and a crossbow aimed at Zhao Kui and others from all directions.

As long as Wu Kun gives an order, it will launch!

No one expected that Wu Kun would be so unreasonable, and directly mobilize the imperial guards into the palace without saying a word.

But at this moment Wu Kun didn't care so much at all, he looked down at the officials from a high position, and said in a cold tone: "Kneel down."

"you dare!"

Zhao Kui was so angry that his beard was trembling, his face was livid, and he cursed angrily: "I am the imperial tutor! Veteran of the two dynasties! How dare you be so rude to me!"

"Kakaka-!"

In response to Zhao Kui, there were only tooth-piercing sounds of strenuous crossbows being strung up, and all the crossbow arrows were ready to go!

Wu Kun looked down expressionlessly, and spoke again:
"I say, kneel down."

There was silence in Chengtian Hall, and all the ministers felt a deep chill at this moment.

Intuition told them that Wu Kun's words were not only for Zhao Kui and others, but also for everyone!

As long as they dare to disobey again, then that crossbow arrow will actually be fired!
"Ugh……"

Yang Ying, Sima Yan and other ministers sighed in their hearts, and then took the lead in bowing to the figure on the steps of Kowloon.

"Sir, see Your Majesty!"

"Long live the Emperor Wu, long live, long live!"

In fact, with their Confucianism and Taoism, they are not afraid of these crossbow arrows, but they are unwilling to defy them.

Because they belong to the neutral faction.

They could block the crossbow arrows, but they couldn't block the rage and killing intent of a new emperor!
Whoever dares to object at this moment, then they will be greeted by the new emperor's suppression and endless pursuit!

At that time, Da Zhou will have no place for them!

What Wu Kun used to suppress the officials at this time was not these guards and crossbow arrows, but the imperial power in his hands!

This supreme authority is already in his hands!
"Long live the Emperor Wu, long live, long live—!"

Under Wu Kun's cold and indifferent gaze, more and more ministers chose to submit and bowed down.

Among them, Zhao Kui and other ministers were included.

Their hearts were extremely humiliated, but in the face of Wu Kun's power and domineering tactics, they had no room to resist!
In the past, it was Emperor Tianfu who played political games with them in court, but Wu Kun was completely different.

He overturned the table directly, and then replaced the knife.

Anyone who refuses to accept it will be hacked to death!

The Emperor Liyang from Liguo followed exactly the same path!

"Long live the Emperor Wu, long live, long live!"

"Long live the Emperor Wu, long live, long live!!"

"Long live the Emperor Wu, long live, long live!!!"

……

Amidst the sound of kowtowing, Wu Kun turned around and stepped onto the dragon chair, waved his clothes, and sat down heavily.

He felt the unique scenery seen from this position, the taste of supreme power, which was as intoxicating as mellow fine wine.

But his will was not shaken in the slightest.

He cast a glance down from the dragon chair.

"All the gentlemen are flat."

Therefore, the new emperor announced his enthronement today.
