The crowd of officials looked forward to it and couldn't wait for King Jingyuan to arrive. They didn't dare to urge him again and again, so they could only continue their discussion and speculate. The imperial guards were very busy as they busied themselves with arresting the rebels. These rebels were of course the officials of the country, as well as those who had always supported the empress and crown prince.

Finally, one of the ministers arrived, the prince who was not too heavily injured. He was carried to the throne room and told what had happened.

Under the control of Feng Qingxiao, this prince who had managed to survive by a fluke knew that his power was already gone. Being able to survive was already a great blessing. Of the four princes that rushed into the palace with him, two of them died, and one of them was seriously injured. Only he was the luckiest, and his injuries weren't severe. Whether or not he would survive would depend on what King Jingyuan wanted. He had followed King Jingyuan's orders and was carried here. Of course, everything would be decided by Feng Qingxiao's orders.

While the officials were anxiously waiting, Feng Qingxiao was having lunch with the Marquis of Bravery, discussing the country's affairs while eating.

Finally, when the officials were feeling very hungry, King Jingyuan and Marquis Yong walked in together.

Yun Fei was a few steps behind Feng Qingxiao as the two of them entered the throne room.

"Greetings, Your Highness."

The officials knelt down and kowtowed. Everyone knew one thing. The Prince of War God was the number one person in the Tian Yuan Kingdom!

If it was anyone else, they would not be convinced and would try their best to win, but how could they dare to face the War God King of the Tianyuan Kingdom and the God of Slaughter from the Northern Frontier?

Do we still need to live?

Not to mention that the news of the imperial guards capturing the rebels had spread like wildfire. The country leader's family had been completely exterminated, and many officials had been sent to jail with their families. Even if they weren't afraid of death, they had to think for their family. Moreover, someone had just entered and announced everything that had happened. The Emperor was jealous. Along the way back to the capital, he had sent people to assassinate and assassinate many times. He even colluded with the barbarians of the northern region to assassinate the War God.

This was something that all the ministers could not accept. The barbarians of the northern region were the most hated enemies of the Tianyuan Kingdom.

These past few years, the emperor had grown older, and his health was not too good either. He had made many comical moves, causing many ministers to feel discontent. As for the Crown Prince, all of the officials had joined forces to impeach him, requesting to cripple his position as the crown prince and then establish him as the ruler. Therefore, none of them wanted to say anything about the serious crime of Zhou Tuoba murdering the monarch and trying to rebel.

Those who pleaded for the empress and the empress were all in jail and had their families extorted.

The clearest point that Feng Qingxiao could do was to allow the subordinates and servants of the officials to freely enter and spread the news. As a result, the officials were well aware of what was happening in the capital.

"No."

"Thank you, Prince."

The officials noticed that there was an extra seat on the table beside the pill. The Battle God King was not directly sitting on the dragon throne, but on this seat instead.

There was an extra seat below the censer. The officials were wondering who this seat had been reserved for.

"This seat is given to Marquis Yong."

Yun Fei bowed, "Thank you, Your Highness."

The officials were all enlightened. When they recalled how the War God had requested for the emperor to bestow the marriage on them, their gazes were filled with incomparable fervor.

What shocked the crowd the most was that the War God did not intend to ascend to the throne, but rather embraced the thirteenth prince and took over the throne. Soon, the Thirteenth Prince, who wore a dragon robe, walked in slowly. On the surface, Zhou Feiran looked calm, but in reality, his heart was in turmoil. He had never thought that there would be a day when he would succeed the throne. Looking at the luxurious throne room, the Dragon Throne that had caused the death of several of his brothers, his heart was filled with fear and confusion.

If he couldn't refuse, then he wouldn't dare to disobey King Jingyuan's orders.

He knew very well that the reason he was able to inherit the throne was because of a single sentence from King Jingyuan. It was just a decoration, a puppet emperor.

His little life and his mother's life were in the hands of the War God King. Only by respectfully obeying the War God's orders could he temporarily save his mother's life and his own. As a result, he remembered every single word spoken by the War God, and displayed his utmost respect and obedience in front of the War God.

Yun Fei bowed and said, "Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor!"

All the officials who were able to stand on the throne room were all smarter than a fox spirit. They hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed three times and nine times, letting out yells of "Long live".

"Everyone, please rise."

Within the imperial court, there were only two people who did not kneel down to pay their respects. One was King Jingyuan, and the other was a Marquis of Bravery.

Zhou Feiran forced himself to remain calm as he announced the imperial edict, "King Jingyuan, Feng Qingxiao, is conferred the title of Regent. He will be given the authority over the military affairs of the Tianyuan Kingdom."

Feng Yuan was the patriarch of Hou Yunfei, and he was the commander of the imperial guards. He was responsible for the military affairs of the capital, and he had swords in his hands. He could not kneel in front of the emperor …

After two royal decrees, the new Emperor Zhou Feiran announced the decree, and the Regent announced the other decree in his place.

Orders were quickly carried out when the Regent announced them from the throne room.

Send word of the transfer of troops as soon as possible. The Northern Reaches are joining forces with the wild races to invade the Northern Frontier at a rate of one million troops." This news made all the ministers' faces turn extremely ugly. There were only two hundred thousand soldiers of the Wind Chaser Army in the northern border. The Regent was still in the capital and was not in charge of the northern border. The situation was extremely dangerous. Even after the Regent had returned to the northern border and fought against millions of soldiers with two hundred thousand soldiers and horses, he had no idea what would happen and how long it would take for the situation to settle down.

Feng Qingxiao said coldly, "When a million strong enemies are at hand, everything should be done in the interests of our nation. We, the kings, must do our best to help our nation." This is the time when the kings will do their best. I will rush back to the northern border in the next two days to resist the strong enemies. The capital's affairs will be presided over by the Duke of Dingguo, and the lords will assist me with all their might. Those who have ill intentions will be killed without mercy! "

All the officials bowed respectfully. "We shall follow Your Highness's orders. We shall do our best. Please rest assured, Your Highness."

"A portion of the Iron Guard will remain in the capital and will be renamed the Gouge Guards. They will only follow this king's orders and will only be responsible for one thing. Anyone who goes out of their way to cause trouble will be executed!"

The officials were all terrified. The Regent had left a sharp sword hanging right above their heads!

Zhou Feiran listened silently. Although he was the emperor, he didn't even have a ceremony. He was dressed in a dragon robe and pushed to the throne. He had to obey the Regent's orders. Fortunately, this Regent, whom he revered immensely, was going to the Northern Frontier in a few days. He was far away from the capital, and his days would be much easier.

The pressure of a million strong army was too great. Originally, there were a few officials who were still resentful, but under this kind of pressure, they could only suppress it and use all their strength to stabilize the imperial government.

Of the million strong army that had invaded the northern region, only the War God King could defend against them. How could the court officials dare to disobey the order of the current Regent? Seated on the dragon throne was the new emperor. The one in charge of the imperial government was the Regent.
