903. Chaos
The country cannot be without a king for a day. The old minister respectfully requested King Ning to inherit the Chu family's throne and ascend to the throne."
The old prime minister represents the Qingliu faction of the literati. He has a high reputation in the Qingliu. As long as he recognizes the status of King Ning, his old disciples will also follow the old prime minister's style.
"My father is really amazing, and he actually made the old prime minister surrender." Pei Xiaoqing said to Princess Ning in a low voice.
Princess Ning pulled her hand and signaled her not to speak, but she was not the only one who whispered below.
Many people around, including the clan relatives, also had some young people biting their heads and talking: "The prince saved the emperor with his heart and blood that day, and the charges the prince gave to the prince were too ridiculous."
"Don't you know if you want to be punished? Uncle Wang has been trying to be emperor for a long time, otherwise it would not be so coincidental that day. Chu Yunxi and the prince were seriously injured."
"I don't know where the prince is now. Uncle Wang's move is still unfair and unpleasant. I'm afraid many people will not accept it."
"Look, the people from the Wang family are still in the Western Region and have not come back. As long as Wang Taiwei leads his army to serve the king, I believe Uncle Wang will have a headache."
"Your Highness should have more than the Western Army. I heard that the Northern Army of Jingbei Hou is in the hands of the emperor, so he should also support the prince."
When the few people behind him were talking vigorously, they heard a tearing scream. Everyone couldn't help but look up and saw the guard behind Ning Wang holding a bloody head in his hand.
Pei Xiaoqing was just watching the discussion behind the people, and did not look at the front. She didn't know how that person died. The first time she saw such a cruel scene, the head seemed to be alive, and her eyes were wide open, as if she didn't understand why she suddenly left her body.
Pei Xiaoqing's eyes were dizzy and she almost fell down. Fortunately, Zi Sang and Qinghuai held her tightly, so she did not fall down.
Behind her, there was another scream. Pei Xiaoqing couldn't help but turn around, but saw the two people who were still talking together just now had a seat empty. The remaining person was so scared that he shrank into a ball, covering his mouth tightly with trembling, preventing him from screaming again.
It turned out that while he was having a hot chat with his companions, the guards of King Ning kidnapped his companions from his side at lightning speed and cut off their heads.
The whole process was like a shot that was about to be played, and it was completed in the blink of an eye. After hearing the scream, I came to my senses and found that the person was killed, it turned out to be his companion.
The whole scene suddenly became as quiet as if it was almost suffocating, and the sound of a maple leaf falling alone was terrifyingly clear.
Prince Ning faintly swept away everyone present and said to the old prime minister: "Prime Minister, the emperor's body has not been cold, and the real culprit has not been arrested yet. Don't mention this matter again. I vow to capture the real culprit and use his blood to sacrifice to the emperor's spirit in heaven. As for whom inherits the throne, I will discuss it later."
Ning Wanggang shocked everyone with a heavy hand, and another faction refused to be emperor with righteous words. He obviously wanted to sit on the dragon throne, but he still pretended to be noble in a pretentious way. Pei Xiaoqing couldn't help rolling her eyes in her heart. No wonder Chu Yunyao was so hypocritical. It turned out that it was inherited. Ning Wang was even more hypocritical than him.
