Chapter 122 The process still has to go, the focus is on participation
Prince Wu's Mansion ended the imperial power and beheaded the current emperor.
Just when people in the world thought that Qin De would take his place, they did not expect that Qin De, as regent, would directly summon the civil and military ministers to discuss state affairs in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
"Incorruptible Grand Scholar, by the edict of King Wu, please move to the palace to discuss state affairs." In front of a Grand Scholar's residence in the imperial capital, a captain of the Black Tiger Guard personally came to visit.
"This great scholar will not have any dealings with rebellious officials and traitors, so I will not be able to obey my orders."
"Since we have been ordered by King Wu, we will not return empty-handed. Either we will go to the palace with you, or you will send the head of your great bachelor to deliver the message. You can choose one." Black Tiger Guard said coldly.
When the bachelor heard this, he was so frightened that his face turned pale and he broke into a cold sweat.
The generals under King Wu are really a bunch of murderous guys.
Two choices, life and death.
The bachelor immediately abandoned the so-called loyal minister and said with a flattering face: "I'll go, I'll go to the head office!"
At the same time, the Taiwei Mansion!
"Captain Gao, following the order of King Wu, we are here to take you to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to discuss matters."
"Our master is not feeling well and should not travel. Please tell King Wu that the Taiwei will not go..."
"boom……"
Without saying a word, the Black Tiger Guard knocked away the slaves in the Taiwei Mansion with one move, and then stormed into the Taiwei Mansion in a mighty manner.
boom!
Black Tiger Guards broke into Lieutenant Gao's bedroom and saw this guy having a great time with his concubine.
"Who is that?" Captain Gao was startled and yelled hastily.
"Captain Gao, Li Zhong, the Black Tiger Guard under the command of King Wu, has come to ask the commander to move to the palace to discuss national affairs."
"You...you dare to break into my Taiwei's mansion without permission. You are too arrogant!"
"You have two choices now, either follow our attack, or die." Li Zhong said coldly.
This Lieutenant Gao was Lan Tianlong's favorite when he was in power.
Looking at Li Zhong's cold face, Captain Gao couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
He had no doubt that Li Zhong would really kill him.
Prince Wu's Mansion dared to kill even the emperor, so there was nothing else they dared not do.
"Okay...I'll go, why don't I go?" Captain Gao didn't care about his moral integrity. Under the threat of death, Peipianpidian followed the Black Tiger Guards to attack.
At this time, in the Taishi Mansion, Xie Yi personally led the Tenglong Army to deliver the order.
"Grand Master, by the order of King Wu, please come with us to the palace to discuss matters."
The Grand Master's name is Duan Benshan. Although his name is very kind, he is a completely treacherous minister.
This person was also King Wu's political enemy and tried every possible means to suppress King Wu's palace, using all possible means.
Even after he retreated, he was secretly connected with the Prime Minister, and seemed to have the will to never give up in destroying Prince Wu's Mansion.
But even so, Qin De's position as the top military general is still unshakable.
Whether in government or in opposition, Qin De's reputation is unparalleled.
"The grandson of Qin De killed my grandson. I haven't settled the debt with him yet, but he even ordered me to go to the palace to discuss matters. Is he so eager to ascend to the throne of God?" Duan Benshan said angrily.
In response to Duan Benshan's anger, Xie Yi just said lightly: "Master, are you serious about not going?"
"If you don't go, this Grand Master and Prince Wu's Mansion are incompatible with each other. Even if I don't become the Grand Master..."
"Very good. King Wu has already given the order. Since the grand master refuses to cooperate, don't blame me for being rude."
As soon as Xie Yi said these words, he waved his hand: "Exterminate the clan!"
The Tenglong Army behind him could no longer hold back any longer, so they drew out their long swords and started to kill the people in the Grand Master's Mansion.
"I wonder who of you dares. You are trying to eradicate dissidents. The Blue Moon Sect will make the decision for us..."
It's a pity that Duan Benshan didn't finish his sentence in one breath, and his life was ended by Xie Yi's knife.
"Everyone in the Grand Master's Mansion will not kill anyone who puts down their weapons and surrenders. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy."
These people are not afraid of death and actually want to challenge the power of the Tenglong Army.
Nowadays, Prince Wu's Mansion is at the peak of its power. It has two powerful imperial weapons, the Black Tiger Guard and the Tenglong Army. They can fight wherever they want.
How could the mere guards of Taishi Mansion resist the Tenglong Army?
In less than a stick of incense, the Taishi Mansion was completely wiped out.
Only a handful of people surrendered, and the rest were annihilated.
When the news of the destruction of the Grand Master's Mansion spread throughout the imperial capital, all the civil and military ministers were completely shocked.
Obviously, Prince Wu's Mansion is trying to scare the monkeys.
Whoever dares to disobey King Wu's orders will suffer the consequences!
In just one morning, all the civil and military ministers who stood in line with the royal family were liquidated and revolted.
At this moment, the Palace of Supreme Harmony in the Imperial Palace!
Qin De was dressed in military uniform, and all the generals below him were fully armed and full of fighting spirit.
Next to them were a group of civil servants.
Among them, there are some who are on good terms with Qin De, some who remain neutral, and of course some who are enemies of him.
"To King Wu, the head count has been completed. Everyone who is supposed to come has come, and those who have not come will not come." Wei Jiang walked in and reported loudly.
Qin De nodded: "Seal the Hall of Supreme Harmony. No one is allowed to leave without my order."
"As you command!"
Wei Jiang left and sealed off the Hall of Supreme Harmony with his brothers from the Black Tiger Guard, while the outside was guarded by the Tenglong Army.
"Qin De, what are you going to do?" Many of the civil servants' expressions changed drastically.
Qin De summoned everyone urgently, but sealed off the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Are you going to kill them?
"We have supported you as emperor, why do you need to kill everyone?"
"That's right, we promise to be loyal to you in the future."
"Shut up!" a general behind Qin De scolded.
The civil servants were so frightened that they trembled.
"King Wu is a god of the empire. He has made great contributions to the Five Dynasties. If he wanted to be the emperor, he would have done it a long time ago. Why wait until now? You corrupt scholars and frogs in the well, how can you know the great ambition of King Wu." This man was promoted by Qin De himself.
One of the generals who rose up was named Zhan Lingkong, and he was also one of his confidants.
It is rare for a group of civil servants to be silenced by a military general.
Qin De stretched out his hand to signal Zhan Lingkong not to speak.
"The king has called you together today mainly to discuss the candidate for the new king. Before that, I can make a statement that no one from Prince Wu's palace will interfere with the throne." Qin De's words were not a compromise, but a statement.
own position.
When these civil servants heard Qin De's words, they all expressed surprise.
"You...you don't want to be the emperor?" Gao Taifu asked weakly.
"Um!"
Now it was their turn to wonder.
"I elect the Nine Wise Kings to ascend the throne and proclaim themselves emperor." At this time, Qin De's subordinates and confidants naturally wanted to say things for him that he could not say directly.
"I also recommend the Nine Wise Kings. The Nine Wise Kings are known for their wisdom and are the most suitable successor to the throne."
"I agree……"
The military generals all agreed, and not a single person reacted.
The civil servants, on the other hand, were all confused.
Not to mention that this is an extraordinary period, even when Lan Tianlong is still in power, these civil servants can only talk nonsense at most, and when they are about to use swords and guns, they have to be military generals.
"What does this mean? Has it been decided by default?" A civil servant said weakly.
"Nonsense, calling us here is just for show. Do you think Qin De will really ask for our opinions?"
"Qin De, this old fox, has clearly decided on the candidates, but he actually involves us. When the results are announced, we will all take the blame."
"Qin De is so smart."
As these civil servants said.
Qin De didn't really ask for their opinions when he called them here.
It's purely for them to show up and sign their credentials.
This means that this was not decided by Qin De alone, but was decided upon by all the civil and military ministers.
This is Qin De's explanation to the people of the world.
"We civil servants were threatened by Qin De with a gun, but we didn't dare to say anything."
"The most important thing is participation. After all, after all, our prosperity and wealth will not be affected, so why not do it." These were the words of a neutral civil servant.
