No one present could take Zhao Yanxun's humility seriously.
Someone immediately responded: "Your Highness has made great contributions to the country, is respected by civil and military officials, and is respected by people all over the world. Your Highness succeeds to the throne, and everyone will return to your heart!"
After the man finished speaking, someone immediately answered: "A country cannot live without a king for a day. Your Highness, please respond to the invitations of hundreds of officials and the expectations of all people!"
Suddenly, the scene became noisy again, filled with flattering words to persuade people to come in.
Seeing that Zhao Yanxun, a rebel, was actually more popular than when Zhao Weilong succeeded to the throne, he almost made Lin Guanhai angry to death.
The angrier he became, the harder Huang Wanan and others used their hands to prevent him from making unnecessary noises.
For Zhao Yanxun, the southwest and south had not been captured yet, so it was not the right time to proclaim himself emperor, so he stopped everyone again.
Standing up from the dragon chair, Zhao Yanxun slowly walked down the steps and said at the same time: "Everyone, there is a rebellion in the southwest, the south is undecided, and the two counties of Gyeonggi and Hanoi are in chaos. These are the most important things at the moment!"
Although he refused to become emperor, Zhao Yanxun was now speaking as an emperor to the hundreds of officials present.
"I, King Jingnan, only punished the traitors and their accomplices. Now that the traitors and their accomplices are dead, the remaining few... are all loyal ministers of the Jin Dynasty!"
When he said this, Zhao Yanxun walked down the steps and stood in a pool of blood.
Although all the corpses have been dragged away, there are blood stains everywhere at the scene, which makes people have to stay on it.
Continuing to walk in the direction of the officials, Zhao Yanxun continued: "So, you don't have to be frightened, let alone feel that your situation is precarious. I am not a person who kills indiscriminately, and I don't hold grudges!"
The word "grudge" in his mouth made many people present tremble. His words pointed out the source of many people's fears.
Three years ago, Zhao Yanxun failed to seize the legitimate son. Many people at the scene contributed, and they tried all kinds of tricks to impeach and remonstrate.
Therefore, they are all afraid of being liquidated, and naturally they all have doubts.
While everyone's thoughts were racing, Zhao Yanxun had already approached the officials and happened to stand in front of Wang Tinghe and Xie Xiaofang.
The two old men were kneeling on the ground at this moment. Their bodies were really overwhelmed, but they still fought hard to survive.
Zhao Yanxun bent down slightly, looked at the two cabinet ministers and said, "Let's just say that these two cabinet ministers worked hard to get me to leave the capital!"
"Your Highness, I am an old minister who is confused and does not know the true dragon. I beg Your Highness to punish him!" Wang Tinghe quickly apologized.
According to Zhao Yanxun's statement that he only punished the chief culprits, he, Wang Tinghe, was the chief culprit who caused Zhao Yanxun to leave the capital, so he should naturally be killed.
On the side, Ci Fu Xie Xiaofang followed up and said: "I am also guilty, please punish me, Your Highness!"
The two old foxes did not defend themselves, but directly demanded punishment, which shows that they have courage and wisdom.
Zhao Yanxun smiled slightly, then straightened up and glanced at all the officials present.
"I have already said that I am not a grudge-bearing person. Even the late emperor agreed to your request. Could it be that he was also wrong?"
Zhao Yanxun's words made everyone at the scene even more frightened.
In the beginning, they used persecution to make Emperor Tai'an have to send his son away. It is no exaggeration to accuse him of being disrespectful.
Back and forth, every word Zhao Yanxun said was exposing the skin of these people.
But his purpose is really just to beat them and make them use themselves.
Such a big country needs people to govern. If these people are removed, they will be left with no one to help them, which will cause even greater chaos.
As for the previous hatred, before Zhao Yanxun won, he actually had thoughts of revenge.
But when he captured the capital, and when all his former "enemies" knelt before him, his situation was different, and the so-called hatred was diluted.
After passing by Wang Tinghe and the others, Zhao Yanxun arrived among the officials. A series of bloody footprints were left on the ground, which was shocking.
"I have said that I will not kill indiscriminately, nor will I hold grudges, so you can rest assured!"
"As long as you are willing to be loyal ministers of the Jin Dynasty and are willing to help me govern the world, I will never be stingy with praise!"
Everyone present was very smart and naturally understood what Zhao Yanxun meant.
I will remember all the grudges I have made in the past. As long as you work hard for me, all the grudges I have made in the past can be wiped out.
Standing there, Zhao Yanxun put his hands behind his back and asked: "Do you understand Gu's thoughts?"
Everyone was silent. After a few breaths, someone cried and shouted: "Your Highness, you are a saint!"
"Your Highness, Holy Ming!"
"Your Highness, Holy Might!"
In fact, many people were crying, feeling moved to tears of joy.
Zhao Yanxun's serious statement reassured everyone. The lives of the whole family were finally saved. How could they be unhappy?
Next, they will use their sincerity to sit on the loyal dogs of His Highness King Yong and carry out his will.
Returning to the imperial steps, Zhao Yanxun looked down at the people present, and then said: "Everyone, get up!"
When everyone stood up, many people in poor health had to be supported by others.
"From now on, all ministries will operate as usual, and the two cabinet ministers will continue to serve as prime ministers!"
"The current task of the imperial court is to ensure the restoration of order in the two counties of Gyeonggi and Hanoi and complete the autumn harvest!"
It's July now, and the autumn harvest is just a few months away. This matter is really important.
With so many people in the capital and Zhao Yanxun's army having to eat, the food exchanged by the system simply cannot sustain them.
“I will obey His Highness’ orders!”
When everyone responded in unison, doubts arose in their minds. Should the southwest and south be ignored?
The importance of these two events is unquestionable, not only related to the integrity of the country, but also related to the time when Zhao Yanxun became emperor.
It is precisely because these two things are important that he has to personally supervise them. A group of civil servants cannot deal with these people.
"After today's work, I won't leave you alone. You should all return to your place!"
After hearing this, everyone felt relieved. They always felt depressed in front of Zhao Yanxun.
At this moment, they also understood that a new era was coming.
The situation in the past where the imperial power could be suppressed by relying on the civil service group to report to the group will never happen again before this man's death.
The new emperor is still very young and looks extremely healthy, which means that everyone present cannot wait for the "good days" to come.
After saluting Zhao Yanxun again, the officials left one after another.
Following Zhao Yanxun's wishes, they each rushed to the Yamen, intending to restore order in the capital first.
"Your Highness, regardless of past grievances, is truly benevolent!"
"Yes, now that there is a disaster today, it is truly a blessing for all the people in the world to meet such a wise Lord!"
Most of the officials who left, even if they were walking on the road, flattered Zhao Yanxun in a casual manner.
Judging from the way they relaxed at this moment, it didn't look like they had just experienced the calamity of national subjugation. They looked like they were going to court early on an ordinary day.
Hearing the flattering words in his ears, Lin Guanhai, who was held tightly by Huang Wanan, suddenly burst out laughing.
"Hahaha...hahaha..."
There is a word called disheartened, which is very suitable to describe Lin Guanhai's mood.
Zhao Yanxun's rebellion was successful and Zhongliang was massacred, but none of these could defeat him.
The officials who had no integrity, praised the rebels, regarded the teachings of saints and the ancestral system as nothing... Only then did Lin Guanhai be truly defeated.
He didn't blame anyone, and strode out of Chengtian Gate amidst the cold and squinting eyes of everyone.
"Brother Lin, Brother Lin..."
Fearing that something might happen to him, Huang Wanan quickly chased after him.
But everyone else in the place was not affected by this at all, they were only thinking about how to run their errands well and occupy a favorable position in the new dynasty.
As for the fact that Jingping was overthrown and the body of Emperor Jingping Zhao Weilong was still cold, what did it have to do with them?
Everyone left one after another, and Xue Jingyan, who was walking behind, felt much more at ease now.
According to King Yong's wishes, the Xue family was saved.
But now, he has new worries.
If my family's reputation is bad, will it have an impact on my daughter's status? Will it lead to her not being able to become a queen?
He is worried, but there are people who are more worried than him.
"Brother Xue, I have passed this test today. From now on... I will have to rely on you to take care of my family!"
Hearing the words of the head of the Zhen family, Xue Jingyan sighed, and then said: "Alas... I can only take one step at a time!"
