Zhao Yanxun wears a black gauze winged crown with a dragon on his chest, which looks particularly majestic.
With the guards all around and King Yong rising above him, all the officials and dignitaries felt a sense of awe in their hearts.
Before that, both Longyou officials and Yuanyang dignitaries looked down upon Zhao Yanxun.
A prince who failed to seize the throne, can he still have a good life when the new emperor succeeds to the throne and everyone is in power?
Therefore, these people were keen on grabbing Zhao Yanxun's pigtails and flattering the prince who was destined to succeed to the throne.
But now, everything in the past is just a passing thing. Now Prince Yong's Mansion has the biggest fist, and they must survive under Zhao Yanxun's rules.
No one dares to disrespect or fear someone who has the power of life and death.
At any time, power comes from strength, not status.
"kneel!"
Huo An shouted, and everyone present bowed down, and then kowtowed: "See you, Your Highness!"
"Ding, conquer Yuanyang, the number of people under the system has been updated!"
Zhao Yanxun looked at the system data and found that the number of people under his rule now totaled 51,000.
When I looked at the upper limit of upgradeable soldiers, it suddenly became 500, and now there are 450 soldiers who can be upgraded.
Zhao Yanxun was extremely happy, but the increase in the number of upgraded soldiers made him even happier than conquering the Yuanyang dignitaries.
Although he was happy in his heart, Zhao Yanxun had long developed the habit of keeping his emotions and anger indistinct, and he didn't show it at all on his face at the moment.
Looking at the people below, Zhao Yanxun was not in a hurry to speak, he was brewing his own emotions.
"At this moment, you are kneeling down and worshiping me, but in your heart you are resenting me and hating me!"
Having said this, Zhao Yanxun scolded in a stern tone: "Put away your resentment..."
Everyone was trembling, they couldn't figure out Zhao Yanxun's thoughts, and their hearts were filled with fear at this moment.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Yanxun said in a soothing tone: "Someone told me that the enemy must be eradicated, and I deeply agree!"
Although these words were said lightly, they scared everyone present half to death, thinking that Zhao Yanxun was going to kill him.
Looking at the guards around them who were watching eagerly, they felt that the possibility of being killed was extremely high, and they thought that they would suffer the same fate as the Zhang and Xie families.
Zhao Yanxun saw all these people's reactions.
"Your Highness, spare your life..."
I don't know who shouted this, and everyone immediately joined in, and the cry for mercy echoed throughout the scene.
The etiquette officer responsible for maintaining order immediately scolded: "Quiet...Quiet!"
Only then did everyone calm down and prepare to accept their fate.
"I am a man of my word. Since I have promised you that I will not harm you as long as you surrender... I will not go back on my word!"
After being teased several times by Zhao Yanxun, everyone present had become extremely humbled. At this moment, they were only looking forward to a way out.
"I can give you a way out, but I will tell you the ugly story first. If anyone dares to have any bad intentions again, I will kill you without mercy!"
These words finally told everyone present that they could live.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Then Zhao Yanxun turned around and walked straight into the main hall.
When Zhao Yanxun disappeared into the hall, Huo An shouted: "The people from the government stay, everyone else goes back!"
After hearing that they could go back, a group of dignitaries felt like they had received an amnesty. Although they had lost everything, at least they had saved their lives.
Thinking about it this way, the hatred in my heart doesn't seem to be that strong anymore.
Of course, the most important thing is that they dare not be resentful, because resentment will make people irrational, and it will be the culprit of chasing souls and seeking lives.
These old dignitaries stood up and left, while the officials of the Longyou government were all kneeling in place.
After the dignitaries left, Huo An said on the steps: "My lords, please come to see me in the Taoist Palace!"
To have an audience in the hall? Let them enter the hall at this time. The meaning of this is worth pondering.
The officials did not dare to neglect and immediately stood up and walked slowly along the steps towards the main hall.
After they entered the main hall, they saw officials standing on the left and right sides. These people were all officials of the Royal Palace Chief Shi Division.
Although these officials were much lower in rank than the Longyou government officials, at this moment, the Longyou government officials did not dare to despise them at all.
I saw Zhao Yanxun sitting on the throne above Lord Dan in front, his expression calm and majestic.
"See Your Highness!" A group of officials saluted and paid homage.
"No gift!"
After all the officials stood up, Zhao Yanxun said: "Now that the end of the world has come, you are different from the people who just helped you. They have deep roots in the Yuanyang tree, but you only have an appointment from the imperial court!"
Now that the imperial court is gone and the order in the city is controlled by Zhao Yanxun, these officials have no other place to go, so surrendering to the palace is their best choice.
"The current situation is difficult. If you are willing to live in the palace, I will not treat you badly, and I will entrust you with important tasks!" Zhao Yanxun said solemnly.
His current system requires more people to be governed, which requires knowledgeable officials to govern.
Therefore, the officials in Longyou were useful to Zhao Yanxun.
Without the endorsement of the imperial court, this group of people had very little foundation in Yuanyang, and he was the only one they could rely on.
Zhao Yanxun's attitude was sincere. Although everyone present wanted to be reserved, they also knew that now was not the time to be pretentious.
At this moment, the chief envoy Cheng Wenguang immediately kowtowed and said: "Your Highness is kind and righteous, and I am willing to assist Your Highness!"
A smile appeared on Zhao Yanxun's lips. This Cheng Wenguang was really flexible and flexible. He was the one who called him a coward before, but now he is the one who calls him benevolent and righteous.
With him taking the lead, other ministers also responded one after another, showing that they were willing to listen to Zhao Yanxun's orders.
"Whoever you are willing to follow, I am deeply pleased!"
Speaking of this, Zhao Yanxun said meaningfully: "The past things have been wiped out. From today on... I, the king, will treat each other with sincerity. I only hope that you will treat me with sincerity!"
As a winner, Zhao Yanxun's attitude was so sincere, and I have to say that he still moved many people.
"I will take your Highness's words to heart!" Cheng Wenguang was the first to express his stance.
Other officials also spoke out one after another, expressing their willingness to devote their loyalty.
"Okay, since you are willing to join the palace, there is something that needs to be discussed by all the gentlemen here!"
After saying this, Zhao Yanxun signaled to Huo An, who was standing aside, and the latter shouted loudly: "Announce Liu Jinghui's appearance!"
I saw Liu Jinghui walking in from outside the main hall, and under the watchful eyes of all the officials, he paid Zhao Yanxun a royal courtesy.
"Meet Your Highness!"
"Without courtesy, all the officials from Yuanyang are here today. Just say what you have to say!" Zhao Yanxun said calmly.
Liu Jinghui has an upright temperament, but he doesn't care about the face of the Longyou government officials. He immediately said: "Your Highness, Straw Hat is going to expose these officials today for encouraging people to leave the city and looking down upon human life!"
