Chapter 253 Who Is the Traitor?
Cheng Lian'er suddenly spoke, and Xu Guang was a little surprised. He had planned to take advantage of the crowd today to directly depose the emperor and push Princess Changjun or the Princess Liyang he met in Baiyujing to the throne.
After all, these two people are also the blood of the emperor.
Power is a demon that can devour people's hearts.
He believed that as long as these two people ascended the throne with his support, under the erosion of power, they would inevitably turn against Shenzong in the future.
What is the so-called father-daughter relationship in front of the imperial power?
The emperor's mind is very deep, which is what it should be, but he shouldn't calculate on himself.
What is the purpose of practicing for so many years and trying to become the best in the world?
Before practicing martial arts, he was controlled by others, and after practicing martial arts, he was still calculated by others. Isn't it a waste of practice?
Although he didn't know why Cheng Lian'er let Li Qingyan be the emperor, Xu Guang just thought about it for a while and agreed.
Cheng Lian'er smiled and winked at Xu Guang mischievously.
Fortunately, Xu Guang's previous irritability filled everyone in Qiandu with fear.
So no one dared to look up, nor did they see Cheng Lian'er's expression.
Hearing Xu Guang agree to let Xiwang Princess become the emperor.
Everyone was numb.
This... is even more excessive than Ming Xiaochen!
Xu Guang keenly noticed the emotions in these people's eyes.
He narrowed his eyes.
He glanced at Cheng Lian'er again.
At this moment, the two seemed to think of the same thing.
She nodded slightly at Xu Guang.
Xu Guang chuckled.
Since it's done, then... do it thoroughly!
Kill all the old emperors and old party members.
His memory is so amazing that he remembered many people's faces when he went to court last time.
But in this case, it is inevitable that Ming Xiaochen will live a little longer.
Xu Guang felt a little emotional.
When did he become so kind.
Forget it, let's help Cheng Lian'er first.
He moved.
Disappeared on the spot.
Cheng Lian'er's voice came from the top of everyone's head.
"Farewell Master Xu."
Everyone present did not dare to look up until they heard her words, and when they were sure that Xu Guang was gone, everyone dared to speak out loud.
But in their words, they were full of respect for Xu Guang.
In front of countless princes, ministers, and royal relatives, the emperor's cultivation and identity were deposed.
This is... How powerful.
The key is that no one present dared to say more.
Today's events will definitely make Xu Guang's name more famous.
Of course, his current reputation is already big enough.
At least...
No one dared to say that they had never heard of Xu Guang's name.
Cheng Lian'er's face was calm and solemn. She stood on the tall building and said loudly.
"The new emperor has ordered that today is not a good day. The martial arts examination will be postponed. After the new emperor's enthronement ceremony, congratulations will be given to the new emperor! Please tell the world!"
Her words made everyone talk about it.
But Cheng Lian'er wouldn't care what they said.
She would get the roster for this registration.
She might not know everyone, but missing one of the names on it would be disrespectful to the new emperor.
The change of power is destined to be accompanied by swords and blood...
...
In the Hanyuan Hall.
As the emperor who is about to ascend the throne, Li Qingyan entered the palace from the moment Xu Guang recognized her.
Li Qingyan was confused. She became the emperor without knowing it?
Such a thing happened too dreamy, making him feel like he was dreaming.
Si Ma Ma walked in from outside and looked at Li Qingyan on the seat with emotion.
"Jun, no, Your Majesty, what are you worried about?"
Li Qingyan bit her lips tightly, with a little fear in her eyes.
"I don't want to be the emperor, I won't, Si Ma Ma..."
"Your Majesty, please call me." Si Ma Ma said softly with a solemn face.
Li Qingyan looked terrified and nodded.
"Mammy, why do you think the city lord wants me to be the emperor?"
Mammy Si shook her head slightly.
"I don't know. Who can guess what City Lord Xu is thinking?"
Xu Guang's actions gave people the feeling of four words, inexplicable.
He sneaked into Qiandu, killed Ming Xiaochen's nephew, and then inexplicably became the emperor's man and hunted Ming Xiaochen.
But because of the emperor's greeting, he suddenly turned against him and deposed the emperor.
He showed the image of a completely moody tyrant.
The key is that this tyrant...
is the best in the world!
Mammy Si said softly, "Your Majesty has to learn how to handle government affairs slowly. Since the city lord has pushed you up, he will definitely help you in the future, and this position should have belonged to... His Royal Highness the King of the West.
For His Highness, please also learn how to be an emperor."
Li Qingyan nodded, "I... I understand."
The change of the throne was like a child's play, and it only took two days.
Inside and outside Qiandu, Cheng Lian'er prepared all the things needed for the sacrifice to heaven.
As for the big day of the sacrifice to heaven...
Xu Guang said it was a certain day, and that was that day.
"Why let Qingyan come out to be the emperor? She is a little too naive."
Seeing Cheng Lian'er finished her work, Xu Guang sat aside and hugged Xu Ping'an, and asked curiously.
Cheng Lian'er rolled his eyes at him.
"Then who do you let? The Princess of Chang County? If that's the case, what you did today is a complete deception of the emperor. You have a big fist, but you have to put on a coat.
The King of the West was the crown prince recognized by the previous emperor himself, and you just set things right."
Xu Guang still didn't quite understand.
In his impression, Li Qingyan should not be the kind of person who can become the emperor, right?
"If you don't consider us, we have to consider ourselves."
Cheng Lian'er said.
Xu Guang suddenly realized when he heard this.
He overlooked one thing.
In his heart, it doesn't matter whether Li Qingyan is the emperor, or Changjun or Liyang is the emperor.
And if these two people become emperors, they will definitely be hated by Emperor Shenzong, and the father-daughter relationship will indeed break down.
But what happens next?
Once he leaves the world, all the people in the Xu family will be people who deceive the emperor.
He personally acknowledged the legitimacy of the bloodline of Emperor Shenzong, but he personally did things that interfered with the change of imperial power.
Changjun and Liyang, if they want to be good emperors and want to be emperors whose words are as important as gold, must... eradicate the Xu family to tell the world that Daqian is still Li's Daqian.
And when Li Qingyan became the emperor, Xu Guang denied the bloodline of Emperor Shenzong. As long as Li Qingyan did a good job on the throne, his actions today would be to set things right!
In any case, what he did today was no less than the Sima family shooting Cao Mao in the street in his previous life.
However, the kingship in this world is granted by God, and God really exists. He did not completely break the halo that enveloped the emperor's head.
Taizu said that Daqian would last for 800 years, and that's 800 years.
Even one year less will do.
Xu Guang figured this out, and he also understood why Cheng Lian'er wanted Li Qingyan to be the emperor.
"Qingyan is still young, and the palace is filthy. Don't let her learn bad things."
Cheng Lian'er's mouth curved, "Qingyan is simple, but the Si Ma beside her is an old lady in the palace."
Xu Guang nodded and didn't continue to dwell on this topic. Since he chose Li Qingyan, his previous thoughts were just thoughts.
"What good things have the nobles in Qiandu sent over these days?"
Cheng Lian'er, as the person in charge, should send gifts to the emperor's ascension to the throne.
"Do you still like those?"
Xu Guang chuckled, stood up, and put his hands behind his back.
"I can look down on it, and I can refuse to accept it, but they can't refuse to send it. I may not remember the people who sent it, but the people who didn't..."
"It's killing the chicken to scare the monkey."
Cheng Lian'er looked at Xu Guang with some emotion.
"It seems that before the Demon-Slaying Army enters Qiandu, it's the last time for these people."
Xu Guang said nothing.
The change of imperial power is accompanied by rivers of blood.
Xu Guang doesn't mind, in Qiandu, to have a Tianjie trample on the bones of the nobles.
...
...
Ningyou Pavilion.
Princes have their own social circles, and ministers of noble families also have their own social circles.
Princes and younger royal relatives have their social circles in the Brilliant Building, and those ministers who have been famous for many years and heads of noble families have their social circles in Ningyou Pavilion.
The little maid served outside the door with a tea tray, and the voices in the main hall came to her ears.
"The little girl from the West King's Mansion is going to ascend the throne. Have you all sent gifts?"
In the main hall, the person sitting at the head of the seat is a man named Han Kun.
They are not considered as the old party of Emperor Shenzong, nor are they considered as the remnants of Ming Xiaochen. They call themselves the clean stream. When Ming Xiaochen was in power before, they did not say a word and just watched from the sidelines.
The first person on his left is a middle-aged man in red. When he heard Han Kun's words, his face changed.
"Send? I'll send her a fucking head!"
"A woman born by a mere slave is also worthy of ascending the throne? That Xu Guang is arrogant. Does he really think that the many noble families in Qiandu are just eating dry food!?"
He said angrily.
They who call themselves the clean stream firmly believe that as long as they remain neutral, nothing will happen.
When Emperor Shenzong ascended the throne in the past, they did not send gifts.
Didn't they survive anyway?
Everyone who can grow up to this day is a smart person.
Hearing the words of the man in red, Han Kun did not speak, but just reached out to pick up the teacup and took a sip.
"Brother Han, do you think we should give it?"
Han Kun remained silent.
And the people below suddenly became anxious.
Seeing that the new emperor was about to ascend the throne, these things could not be agreed upon.
"Okay, stop arguing."
Han Kun finally spoke.
"How the new emperor will treat us, in the final analysis, is Xu Guang's attitude. He pushed Li Qingyan to the throne, and the little girl will certainly agree with what he says. Instead of discussing the attitude towards the new emperor, it is better to discuss the attitude towards Xu Guang. This person is different from Ming Xiaochen. He... is moody and violent. If we are not careful, it will be a disaster for us to kill."
"Brother Han is right. We all know all this, but what can we do? How many people in the world can compete with Xu Guang now?"
...
...
The arrival of the Demon-Slaying Army was faster than Xu Guang imagined.
After all, in recent years, the Demon-Slaying Army has grown rapidly under his unlimited resource supply.
Xu Guang stood on a high place with a calm expression.
The Demon-Slaying Army is the foundation he left for his family.
So that his family will not be bullied in this world.
Cheng Lian'er stood behind him.
"The list is out."
Xu Guang asked casually without turning back.
"Are they all from those government offices, and from those aristocratic families?"
"Most of them are from the Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Justice." Cheng Lian'er sneered, "A group of people who claim to be clean and upright, called pillars, but are actually termites."
Xu Guang had no interest in these, and did not want to understand.
Since there is a list, just kill according to the names on the list.
The iron cavalry of the Demon-Slaying Army entered the city, causing panic among many people.
But the new emperor suddenly said at this moment.
This is the new emperor's personal guard.
Thinking of the horror of the Xu Zhenren behind the new emperor, they opened the city gate in trepidation.
...
Qinghan Palace is where the abandoned princes and princesses live.
The current Shenzong lives here. It is named after the palace, but it is an extremely desolate and remote courtyard, behind which is the Ye Ting Cold Palace.
Xu Guang did not kill Shenzong, and did not even make any arrangements. He left everything to Cheng Lian'er.
If Cheng Lian'er thinks he should be killed, then kill him.
But in the end, Cheng Lian'er did not kill the emperor.
At this moment.
Princess Changjun stood in front of Emperor Shenzong, whose hair was scattered, with a calm expression.
"Father, it's time to eat."
Shenzong suddenly turned around, "Call me father!"
Changjun was silent.
Shenzong pushed Changjun away and overturned the lunch box he brought.
"Rebels, traitors, and rebels! They all deserve to die! Ming Xiaochen deserves to die, Xu Guang deserves to die, and you, you cowards, deserve to die too!"
Changjun was scolded by Shenzong, and she walked out of the gate of the deserted courtyard calmly.
When she saw Tie Mei, who had been waiting for her outside, Changjun could no longer hold back. She looked at Tie Mei with tears on her face and hugged her.
"Sister Mei'er, what should I do?"
Tie Mei patted her shoulder gently. "It's okay, you still have me."
Chang Jun suddenly looked up, "You said, I can make him use my promise to make my father..."
Before she finished speaking, she saw Tie Mei shaking her head.
Although Xu Guang was known to be moody, she saw clearly that this man was extremely trustworthy. Since he promised to let Li Qingyan become the emperor, he would definitely not change his mind.
"It is not a bad thing for Qingyan to be the emperor. You helped her in the past. She is a simple person and will repay you."
Chang Jun was silent.
She didn't know how to face Li Qingyan.
In the past, Shenzong took away the position of the Western King, and now Li Qingyan just took back the things that belonged to the Western King's Mansion.
She couldn't blame Li Qingyan.
...
The days passed in a flash.
At Xu Guang's urging.
Ten days later, the ceremony of the new emperor's enthronement officially began.
Before offering sacrifices to heaven, the new emperor Li Qingyan opened the first grand court meeting in his life.
Before that, he had to discuss his reign title and clan title.
It was also the first time that Xu Guang ascended the hall as a marquis.
However, he did not appear with the ministers, but appeared in the corner of the hall, as if he did not exist at all.
Li Qingyan coughed lightly.
Nanny Si beside him said loudly.
"Go to court."
The voice of going to court had just fallen.
A middle-aged man in red suddenly spoke among the ministers.
"I have a memorial. The new emperor ascended the throne, which is the national affair of our Daqian. But now Daqian is facing internal and external troubles. There are treacherous ministers and remnants inside, and traitors and thieves outside! As the saying goes, you must first stabilize the country before resisting foreign aggression. Please, Your Majesty, issue an order to kill the treacherous ministers!"
Han Kun frowned, somewhat confused.
Didn't this Zhang Han say that he would not say anything?
How come he couldn't even control his subordinates.
Why did he suddenly speak.
Li Qingyan looked at the red-clothed official with a hint of curiosity.
Nanny Si beside him whispered, 'Sun Jiugong of the Ministry of Justice. ’
“May I ask Sun Qing, who is the treacherous minister?”
