With no other choice, the officials had no choice but to get up and line up to go to Chengtian Gate.
There were five to six hundred officials and dignitaries present, and they were all lambs to be slaughtered at this moment.
Led by Wang Shiwei and other demoted officials, everyone walked into Chengtian Gate one after another.
And behind these officials and nobles, there is a group of people who are different, just because they are all wearing prison uniforms.
These people were officials who were persecuted and thrown into prison by Zhao Weilong after Zhao Yanxun raised his army.
Now that Zhao Weilong was "dead", they were naturally not guilty, so Zhao Yanxun ordered people to release them.
Lin Guanhai and Huang Wanan, both from He, were also among the crowd.
Huang Wanan was undoubtedly happy about the current outcome, because his whole family had been saved. As for the emperor's stability, it had nothing to do with him.
At this moment, Huang Wanan's only worry was Lin Guanhai walking next to him.
Having just learned that "the false emperor is dead", Huang Wanan saw with his own eyes how sad Lin Guanhai was.
The hatred shown by Lin Guanhai made Huang Wanan deeply afraid that he would cause trouble later.
Although the two have different ideas, Lin Guanhai saved Huang Wanan's life after all, so he didn't want to see the other party seeking death.
What kind of children and in-laws are nothing in front of the imperial power?
Since King Yong dared to raise troops and hide from the world, he naturally had a personality that disowned his relatives. If Lin Guanhai dared to "act recklessly", Huang Wanan believed that he would definitely die.
Entering Chengtian Gate, there are armed soldiers on both sides, looking coldly at the officials entering.
In panic, the officials passed through Da'anmen, and Huangji Gate appeared in front of them.
Here, there are a large number of soldiers guarding it. From a distance, you can see the throne placed in front of the Huangji Gate.
The current scene looks like the posture of a royal family listening to the government.
But since the outbreak of zombies in the 24th year of Tai'an, the imperial court has never been held again.
At this moment, the throne room was empty, with more than a dozen elite soldiers guarding the left and right sides, and there were also people standing guard on the steps leading to the square.
Although this place is a royal palace, it now looks more like a military camp.
A few hundred meters away, the officials came to the imperial steps. They all stood in place, and the scene was extremely quiet.
They were very tired from kneeling for a long time, but now they could only hold on.
Everyone waited for more than ten minutes before Zhao Yanxun walked out, followed by Hu Dabiao.
Everyone looked at Zhao Yanxun and saw that he had changed out of his armor and was wearing a crimson round-neck robe.
The way he is dressed now, he is much less murderous and looks much more approachable.
Standing on the steps in front of the Huangji Gate, Zhao Yanxun glanced at the ministers below, and then sat on the dragon chair without any scruples.
I heard Hu Dabiao yelling loudly: "Your Majesty has arrived, why don't you pay homage?"
There is no doubt that even if Zhao Yanxun breaks into the capital, he will still be a rebel in the eyes of many people, and this view will be difficult to change for a while.
Therefore, when Zhao Yanxun appeared, although the officials on the scene had become "prisoners", they still did not have the consciousness to take the initiative to kneel down, so that Hu Dabiao needed to come out to speak out.
Of course, the fact that most people do not have the consciousness to kneel down and worship does not mean that they dare not to kneel down.
After Hu Dabiao finished speaking, a large number of people immediately knelt on the ground.
The remaining group of people also knelt on the ground one after another after a brief struggle.
Huang Wanan glared at Lin Guanhai and warned: "Old Lin, don't be stupid, kneel down!"
Although the latter was reluctant, he still knelt down honestly under Huang Wanan's hard work.
Sitting on the dragon chair, watching everyone kneel down one after another, Zhao Yanxun said calmly: "Bring the people over here..."
After receiving the order, Hu Dabiao gave the order and saw more than a hundred soldiers escorting a group of people on the west side of Huangjimen Square, slowly coming to the center of the square.
"Let's go quickly..."
"I told you to hurry up, why are you so dilly-dallying?"
As the soldiers' scoldings approached, the officials kneeling in the square all raised their heads and looked to the west.
These people who were escorted here were basically known to everyone at the scene.
At the forefront were Huang Zhicheng, the Minister of Civil Affairs, and Wang Cunzhang, the Minister of War. These were die-hard royalists.
Lin Guanhai, on the other hand, saw his student Wei Zhenzhang among the people being escorted.
Seeing that he was about to stand up, Huang Wanan directly grabbed him and cursed in a low voice: "Are you crazy?"
"I'm not crazy!" Lin Guanhai shouted back.
Huang Wanan said with a sullen face: "I tell you, even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your daughter!"
Only this sentence restrained Lin Guanhai's impulse.
"Rebel thief...rebellious thief..."
Wang Cunzhang, who was walking at the front, was cursing loudly at this moment.
Yesterday, he personally went to the front line and organized an army to resist with the courage to face death, until he was finally defeated and captured.
Beside him, although Huang Zhicheng, the Minister of Civil Affairs, remained silent, his contempt for Zhao Yanxun and the people kneeling at the scene clearly expressed his thoughts.
"Shut up……"
There is no doubt that among the detainees, the person who shouted the loudest was directly punched by the guarding soldier.
Soon, these people were escorted to the imperial steps. In front of them was Zhao Yanxun, and behind them were a group of ministers kneeling in obeisance.
"Kneel down..."
The soldiers showed no mercy, kicking them with their feet or hitting them with their scabbards, knocking all these tough-minded men to the ground.
This scene looked extremely barbaric in the eyes of the people who were kneeling and worshiping, and it also made them feel frightened and frightened.
Seeing that the person had been taken into custody, Zhao Yanxun finally said: "This king has obeyed the destiny and raised troops to calm the situation. Now that things have happened, the overall situation has been decided..."
"God is kind to you, and I don't want to hurt more lives, so I am willing to give you a chance!"
Looking at the people kneeling in front of him, Zhao Yanxun said in a deep voice: "As long as you are willing to surrender and surrender to me, I will forgive your crimes!"
Because of his confidence in his own strength, Zhao Yanxun can forgive these people as long as they no longer go against him.
This is already very magnanimous during the change of dynasties.
He was sincere and thought about these people, but as soon as he finished speaking, someone burst out laughing.
"Zhao Yanxun, if you think you have won the battle, you will no longer be a rebel after entering the palace..."
As soon as Wang Cunzhang said this, he was slapped twice by the soldiers behind him, and then his mouth was covered.
Unexpectedly, on the high platform, Zhao Yanxun waved his hand and said, "Let him speak!"
Pushing away the soldiers beside him with his shoulders, Wang Cunzhang then shouted: "The world will remember, and the history books will remember that you are a rebel who seeks to usurp the throne..."
Immediately afterwards, Huang Zhicheng staggered to his feet, turned to face the officials, and shouted: "Everyone, Mr. Wang said it well... Zhao Yanxun is a rebel who plots to usurp the throne and kill the king and steal the country!"
"You all must remember it, and let future generations remember it..."
On the side, Hu Dabiao was so anxious that he couldn't stand it anymore.
"Your Majesty, we can't let him talk nonsense anymore!"
At this moment, Zhao Yanxun's eyes had turned cold.
He has a good life, but if these people are allowed to live, it will only bring trouble to him, and will involve more people in suffering.
Leaning back on the chair, Zhao Yanxun said in a deep voice, "Those who utter rebellious words will be punished on the spot!"
Upon hearing this, Hu Dabiao's expression turned cold and he immediately sent an order to his men.
At this moment, with Wang Cunzhang taking the lead, the arrested civil and military officials around them also began to curse.
"Those who utter disobedient words will be punished on the spot!"
Immediately afterwards, the soldiers, who had been extremely angry for a long time, waved their butcher knives at these upright civil and military officials.
