The Proof of the Heavens Begins with The Legend of the Condor Heroes

Chapter 166 The overall situation has been decided
"Your Majesty! Are you okay?"

"Your Majesty! Would you like to rest for a while?"

In the Hanguang Hall, Emperor Qing sat at the top seat in the main hall, looking extremely weak.

Beside him, the Queen Mother, the Empress, and other women in the harem all looked at him with worry.

"I'm fine." Emperor Qing waved his hand and said, "I acted without reason, which led to the assassins' rampage. Although the assassins are dead, I was also frightened and exhausted both physically and mentally."

When Emperor Qing said this, there were still many people who didn't know what His Majesty wanted to say.

Only the Queen Mother, who knew her son best, showed a look of surprise and doubt. How could her son say such words as "acting without reason"?

Also, why was Emperor Qing carried out from the ruins of Xingqing Palace by the Second Brother? When did the Second Brother enter the palace?

These questions deeply puzzled not only the Queen Mother, but also the Empress and others.

Then, Emperor Qing talked about some of his mistakes in government in front of everyone, and then changed the subject very abruptly: "The second prince Li Chengze has noble character and is very similar to me. He will surely succeed me and ascend the throne as emperor."

These words were like a depth charge, causing a huge uproar!

"Your Majesty, you are in the prime of your life, why do you say that?"

The first person who couldn't bear it any longer was naturally the queen. She couldn't accept that her child's throne was taken away from her like that.

She looked at Fang Hao, who was standing beside the emperor and had an unfathomable look on his face, and pointed at him, saying hysterically, "Your Majesty, was it him who forced you to pass on the throne? The turmoil in Xingqing Palace was caused by Li Chengze, right?"

"No one is threatening me. This world belongs to me. If I want to pass the throne to someone, do I need to discuss it with you?" Emperor Qing rubbed his brows.

Having lost all his true energy, he is no different from an old man. Even now, he is just struggling to hold on.

Upon seeing this, the prince immediately stepped forward and grabbed the queen, saying timidly, "Father, my mother was rude and disrespectful in front of you, please forgive me."

The prince obviously sensed that the atmosphere on the field was not right. His second brother had an unfathomable expression and decided to wait and see.

But at this time, the Queen Mother had to speak. After all, even if Emperor Qing wanted to abdicate, he should pass the throne to the Crown Prince. This was related to the country's legal system and could not be lost.

"Even if Your Majesty wants to pass on the throne, it should be passed on to the Crown Prince. Why would it be passed on to Chengze?" The Queen Mother said solemnly.

Neither Fang Hao nor Emperor Qing answered. In the Hanguang Palace, there was silence so deep that one could hear a pin drop!

The scene was a little suffocating for a moment. At this moment, the Supervisory Council led by Chen Pingping and the Kyoto garrison led by Ye Chong entered the Xingqing Palace together.

When these people saw Emperor Qing, they bowed their heads and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being late in saving you!"

This is a very incredible thing. When will the second prince's opinion be considered in national affairs?
The concubines in the palace were all shrewd people. They immediately thought of a possibility and looked at Fang Hao with shock and awe in their eyes.

"I'm tired. Let Chengze handle the next matter." Emperor Qing waved his hand tiredly, signaling everyone to leave.

Emperor Qing's words and the appearance of Chen Pingping and Ye Zhong further confirmed everyone's speculation that the power of Qing State had changed hands.

His Royal Highness the Second Prince, who kept a low profile, became the biggest winner in this riot in Xingqing Palace.

Mingling among the crowd, Concubine Shu looked at her son in disbelief. She was also a little confused as to how her son, who was like a carefree cloud and wild crane, could become the emperor?

It is impossible to expect Emperor Qing to give up power on his own initiative.

There is only one reason why Emperor Qing took the initiative to pass on the throne. The riot in Xingqing Palace was initiated by Fang Hao, with the purpose of seizing power from Emperor Qing! "In Xingqing Palace, in addition to the unfathomable eunuch Hong, there are more than a hundred tiger guards. How did the Second Prince do it?" This is the doubt in everyone's mind.

The support of the Supervisory Council and the Ye family is certainly very important, but... it is not enough!

At this moment, a hideous human head was thrown in from outside the hall by a figure as gentle as the bright moon and the fresh breeze.

The man with a ferocious face and bulging pupils was actually... Qin Heng!
Then came the steady voice of Grand Master Ye Liuyun: "Second Prince, this man led the garrison troops and entered the palace to rebel. His crime is unforgivable. He has been killed by me. I hope Your Majesty will ascend the throne as soon as possible to reassure the people of the world."

As soon as these words were spoken, the way everyone in Hanguang Palace looked at Fang Hao changed!

When did Fang Hao get the support of Grand Master Ye Liuyun?

Is it because of Emperor Qing's arranged marriage? Impossible!

For a prominent family like the Ye family, family is the most important thing. What secrets are hidden in Fang Hao?

"Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Ye." Fang Hao bowed to Ye Liuyun and said, "I will ascend the throne tomorrow. During this period, Uncle Ye, please cooperate with the Supervisory Council to stabilize the situation in Kyoto."

"I will obey you." Ye Liuyun said politely.

Others don’t know the truth about the Battle of Xingqing Palace, but doesn’t Ye Liuyun know it?

His Royal Highness the Second Prince, actually killed 123 Tiger Guards and the ninth-grade top master Hong Sixiang by himself.

There is also Emperor Qing, who is the most hidden and has the highest martial arts skills among the four masters.

For insiders like Ye Liuyun and Chen Pingping, ascending the throne and becoming emperor is well deserved!

Ye Liuyun’s statement means that the overall situation has been decided.

No matter how unhappy the queen is, she has to accept this reality.

At this point, everyone on the field had roughly guessed the cause and effect of the incident.

It must be that Fang Hao teamed up with Chen Pingping and the Ye family to force the emperor to pass the throne to him.

Emperor Qing hid himself too deeply. Even his closest people could not guess that he was the great master hidden in the palace.

Therefore, they could not guess that Fang Hao was also a grandmaster. Fang Hao did not want to reveal these secrets for the time being. He had to give some jumping clowns some opportunities, right?
Fang Hao knew that in addition to the inner treasury, the eldest princess also had a secret force cultivated by the royal family. He had to find ways to eliminate these hidden dangers one by one.

The next morning, Emperor Qing was unexpectedly absent from the morning court meeting, and was replaced by the extremely young Second Prince.

When Eunuch Hou read out Emperor Qing's abdication decree in public, all the civil and military officials showed expressions of inexplicable horror.

That autocratic Majesty is going to abdicate now?

The news came too suddenly!
Is there no preparation for this?

At this time, officials of the Lin faction, led by Prime Minister Lin Ruofu, came forward to offer congratulations.

Even Fan Jian, the Minister of Revenue who had always been in charge of finances and not concerned with government affairs, shouted "Long live Fang Hao".

The civil and military officials finally woke up from their dreams. The sky of Qing Kingdom was really going to change!
