After Eunuch Qing left the star-picking tower, he ordered his confidants to hang all the palace men they had captured today. No one could be left alive. As for the bodies, they should be left in a desolate place for the time being and cleaned up later.
The battle at the second palace gate had already begun, and when the nine gates of timothy had shouted out the slogan of charge and death, the dark arrows flew in from all directions like flying feathers, causing unprepared and countless deaths and injuries. They could only retreat desperately to the middle zone, but the people standing in front of them still suffered countless deaths and injuries. At least a dozen arrows were inserted into the body.
After these people were trapped in the middle, the four corners of the gate were opened separately, and four iron cavalry charged towards the middle of the sky in a murderous manner, so that these people could not escape, a bloody battle opened, but the sound of the battle was covered by the sound of rites and music in Golden Chime Hall, and no one could hear the fierce sound of the fight.
The coronation ceremony finally ended after a few hours, and it was already the end of the day. The ministers did not remember how many times they had bowed down, nor did they remember what the Ministry of Rites officials had read. Other officials woke up early in the morning to eat only a bowl of porridge and were dizzy from hunger, while those who were in extremely poor health had fainted and been carried away.
"... All the ministers kneel!" The Ministry of Rites official's last shout was hoarse, but it still made the whole hall hear it.
"Long live my emperor. Long live the emperor." The officials shouted once again.
"All the ministers saluted and straightened themselves." Ji Xun raised his hand and glanced at the king of qin nan who was standing at the edge below.
Just then, a eunuch outside ran into the palace and knelt down, "Your majesty, news came from outside the palace that the left Prime Minister's Mansion, the nine doors of the governor's office, the office of the minister of the Dali Temple... Had been destroyed all over the house, and no one in the whole house was alive."
As soon as the eunuch's words fell, many courtiers shook their bodies, different from those who were surprised to have the courage to exterminate the officials in broad daylight. These officials were heartbroken and found that the official residences that were exterminated had all been to the post house last night to see king qin nan, which meant that they did not need to say clearly what they already knew.
King qin nan frowned even more. He knew that things were not going well after not seeing anyone break into the hall for such a long time, but he could not mess things up at this time.
Looking up at Ji Xun, who was sitting on the dragon chair, king qin nan's face was so gloomy that it could drip ink. Did he plan to lose half his life to a kid?
No matter how uneasy and unwilling he was to part with the pieces he had discarded, he had to remain calm as much as possible. He bet that ji xun would not dare kill him at this time, or king qin nan would not be able to guarantee that he would return to the fief alive.
As for whether his son could succeed him and win the country after his death, king qin nan was not willing to think about it now. He wanted to sit on the dragon chair with tens of thousands of people, not be conferred the title of Retired Emperor in the history books.
While king qin nan was deliberating, Ji Xun had already asked the eunuch who reported to him, and his attitude was just business. It was not difficult to find that Ji Xun did not mean to pursue the murderer strictly. He also told these officials not to leak out and cause panic among the people. Otherwise, who would be the next to be killed?
Ji Xun's voice fell, and the whole court fell into a dead silence. As long as it wasn't stupid enough, everyone understood that this was Ji Xun's handiwork, but most people didn't understand why Ji Xun did it.
Ji Xun's eyes fell on king qin nan and asked lightly, "What is king qin nan's opinion on this matter?"
All the civil and military officials in the manchu dynasty only asked about king qin nan's opinion, not even the officials who had lost their families. Besides the officials who were involved in the discussion last night, they were all looking at king qin nan, and the vassals looked even more different.
King qin nan, who was named, stood out with a straight back and knelt down, "If you return to the emperor, your officials have not been in Capital City for a long time. I don't know if your excellency has any enmity with others, so I have no opinion on this matter. However, these officials are all important members of Capital City. Their family members can be killed in one night, which shows the terror of the mastermind behind the scenes. In order to ensure the safety of the capital city, I ask your majesty to thoroughly investigate this matter. Giving the court officials an explanation is also to ensure the safety of the capital and the emperor."
King qin nan's words showed that he had nothing to do with it, and that he had a righteous and awe-inspiring look, but it sounded cold to many people. The whole family had not been destroyed for the sake of king qin nan, and now they should not care about the lives and deaths of these courtiers?
"Does king qin nan really think I should investigate thoroughly?" Ji Xun asked again.
"I thought it was reasonable to investigate thoroughly." King qin replied in a firm tone.
After looking at king qin nan in silence for a while, Ji Xun's eyes fell on the outside of the hall.
At this time, Wuqing walked into the hall covered in black and covered with blood. Huang Cheng, the head of the guard at the door, did not stop him, but the two bloody heads in Wuqing's hands caused a series of screams.
"Escort, escort!" Some officials shouted out in a somewhat rational manner.
With the sound of Wuqing's footsteps, some of the courtiers hid in the corner and some were about to rush up the steps to protect them. At this time, Wuqing knelt down on one knee in the middle of the hall and reported: "To inform the master that the Imperial Guard commander, wang he, secretly released the nine members of the governor and his men into the palace and prepared to force them into the palace. Wuqing was ordered to guard the palace gates and have killed everyone outside zi xu's door. The exact number is still under investigation. The girl ordered her subordinates to come and inquire about it, but these traitors of the nine clans can be taken down from the prison."
Wuqing's cold voice was like an emissary of hell. Judging from the smell of blood on his body, it was not difficult to determine how many people had been killed. Whether or not the persecution was true, wang he and the nine men of the governor must have arranged for their close aides to do a good job on this day, but it would be ruined by Wuqing.
There were several messages in Wuqing's words just now. For one thing, he called Ji Xun the master and not the emperor, which showed that Wuqing was a member of Ji Xun's private organization. Secondly, Su Mianyue was involved in this matter. Looking at the civil and military affairs of the whole dynasty, who didn't know who Su Mianyue was, and who didn't know that this woman was the only woman around Ji Xun.
"Your majesty, it is the duty of wang he and jiu men to guard the imperial palace outside the gates of zi xu. They are all loyal to the emperor! And so many Imperial Guard and soldiers were killed just because of a woman. They were wronged for this kind of death. Wouldn't the nine tribes that implicated them want these people to die in shame?" An old imperial official stood up and warned him fearlessly, "Please, your majesty, do not favor this demonic girl. If she is not of my race, her heart must be different. The royal blood cannot be confused with the foreign blood, your majesty!"
Cold eyes swept over the imperial court, Ji Xun swept over the officials without saying a word, and two civil officials came out to support the proposal, while the others were silent. Ji Xun sneered in his heart: it seems that there are still many smart people who know how to protect themselves.
When the voice of impeachment fell, Wuqing asked again, "Please show me."
"Let the girl see. Since I gave the secret service to Yue to believe in her ability, without Yue I would not be able to sit on the dragon chair today. She would never let me down." Ji Xun waved his hand and saw that Wuqing was about to leave. Ji Xun said, "Hang these two heads on the door of zixu. Don't take them off in ten days."
"If the emperor wants to listen to the bewilderment of the evil woman, the old minister can only give his death's admonishment. He also hopes that the emperor can remember the words of the old minister. The heart of the people of other races must be different!" The imperial official shouted fiercely. He got up and ran his head in the direction of the pillar. Looking at the posture, he knew that he had used all his strength.
