After entering the book, the young cannon fodder brought his short-lived mother to fly happily

Chapter 254: Peace talks, shall we?

"Your Highness is right. Jing Hengyan is not worthy of being a king. Please ascend the throne immediately!"

"Your Highness, please ascend the throne immediately!"

A group of voices!

Everyone kneels and asks Jing Yunzhang to ascend the throne on the spot!

Although not everyone was willing to do so, they just understood that Jing Yunzhang had already taken control of the situation. He had been planning this situation for perhaps five years, or even ten years.

And what has Jing Hengyan been doing in these five to ten years?

He was in office but did nothing, was arrogant and licentious, lingered in the harem, levied heavy taxes, and aroused the wrath of heaven and people.

They saw it clearly!

Whether Jing Yunzhang ascends the throne or not, the court belongs to him.

Yuan Taifu was his man, the Chief Censor was his man, and even Pei Hongmiao, who they had always thought was a royalist, was also his man...

The King of Huai and the King of Han also stood on his side.

Most of the court officials stood on his side. Two-thirds of the court officials were his people!

They can see the situation clearly. Moreover, the situation is now under the control of Jing Yunzhang. If they don't show their loyalty now, will they have to pack up and leave after the new emperor ascends the throne?

Jing Yunzhang glanced at them and said, "Since you all trust me, I won't bother to ask for your help three times. I, Jing Yunzhang, will accept your request!"

Seeing him finally walk slowly towards the platform, Master Yuan and others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Highness, long live the emperor!"

Amid the cheers of the crowd, Jing Yunzhang sat down on the dragon throne.

Jing Hengyan's eyes were red with anger, but he saw that even his chief eunuch had come close to Jing Yunzhang, so even he was Jing Yunzhang's man!

He finally despaired and collapsed to the ground.

Jing Yunzhang said in a deep voice: "Come here, take Prince Li out of the prison! Ask the imperial physician to treat Prince Li's injuries, and don't let him get into any trouble!"

The Dali Temple official stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, Prince Li is loyal, brave, and upright. He is willing to die to remonstrate with the emperor without caring about his own gains and losses, and his own honor and disgrace. This is admirable. Therefore, I have asked a doctor to examine him before."

Jing Yunzhang nodded and looked at Jing Hengyan: "Come here, since Jing Hengyan ascended the throne, he has made no achievements for the country and no contribution to the government. He has also committed a serious crime. He should have been expelled from the Jing family tree and beheaded in public. Considering that he was ordered by the late emperor, I will make a break for him and confer him the title of Duke of Le and grant him the Duke of Le's Mansion. I will allocate 300 imperial guards to protect his safety!"

Zhou Qiting's heart sank again.

Bad news comes one after another!

A man who can kill the Qi State's military commander on the battlefield is not a rude warrior who only knows how to fight.

He usurped the throne and replaced the emperor so easily.

The government was not in chaos, and most of the officials followed him. It was obvious that they had planned and prepared for it long ago.

If he killed this former emperor, and the news got out, people in the world, not knowing the truth, would only think that he had rebelled to seize the throne.

No matter how well you do, your reputation will be ruined in the end.

But he will be able to be conferred the title of Duke and be granted a mansion. Leading 300 imperial guards to guard the Duke's mansion, on the surface it is said to be to protect his safety, but in fact isn't it just imprisoning people?

As a native of Qi, he wished that the emperor of Shang would be Jing Hengyan.

The more incompetent and incompetent the Shang emperor was, the happier they were.

But now, it's different.

This man is a man who can decide the fate of the world with a gun and bring peace to the world with a pen.

Qiguo is in trouble!

The imperial guards took Jing Hengyan away first, along with his supporters. Of course, they were not as lucky as Jing Hengyan.

"Minister of the Dali Temple! I'll hand over the criminals to you for detailed investigation. Make sure to find out the guilt and punish them accordingly!" He paused, "Wen Shirong and the other four have collaborated with the enemy and betrayed their country. Their crimes are too numerous to list. Their heads will be hung up for public display. Their crimes will be made known to the world. Their property will be confiscated and the entire family will be exiled three thousand miles away. They will be slaves for ten generations and will not be pardoned even if they are pardoned!"

"Yes!"

Next, he began to preside over the affairs of the court, one by one, in a clear and orderly manner. They were all urgent matters that needed to be dealt with, but were suppressed by Jing Hengyan.

The first thing, of course, is peace talks.

Jing Yunzhang's gaze fell on Zhou Qiting and his group, who were huddled in the corner, trying their best to reduce their presence, like quails.

"Envoys from Qi, can we continue the peace talks? If so, I will send Minister Pei to continue the talks with you. If not, I will not kill the envoys, but will let you go back to Qi immediately!"

Zhou Qiting looked ashen. He walked out dejectedly, cupped his hands, and bowed: "Congratulations to the new emperor of Shang Kingdom for ascending the throne. Can we give the peace talks some time? I need some time to write a letter and make a decision after asking questions!"

"allow!"

Zhou Qiting bowed again, knowing that he could not stay here any longer, and left the court with his head down.

Someone will come to take them to the Royal Post Station.

But unlike before, Jing Hengyan treated them with great courtesy and gave them great freedom.

When they left this time, a team of elite soldiers sent them back and never left. It was obvious that they were there to both guard and monitor them.

Just as the morning court session began, in the inn in South City, Zhao Susu hugged Meng Yu who had returned.

A Yu suddenly disappeared for several days, which made her very worried.

Even though she knew Meng Yu's abilities and knew that she would go out alone, she was suddenly gone for several days, and was in the capital, and at a time when the capital was suddenly on high alert. How could she not worry?

So much so that she was absent-minded when talking about business these days.

Meng Yu smiled and said, "Mom, why are your eyes so red? Are you worried about me?"

"Where have you been these days, kid? Are you okay?"

"What could possibly happen to me? I was out of town on business, and then suddenly the capital was under martial law, so I couldn't get in. I had no choice but to live outside the city for a while. Look, I'm fine, aren't I?" She leaned closer: "Mom knows I know martial arts, don't worry!"

Zhao Susu nodded. Knowing it was one thing, but as a mother, how could she not worry?

However, she didn't say much, nor did she ask any more questions: "Mom will roll noodles for you today!"

"That's great, I'm hungry!"

When the mother and daughter were eating noodles, Meng Yu took a breath of satisfaction. The noodles made by her mother were so delicious: "Mom, how is your business going?"

"Almost 1"

"How about we pack up and leave the capital?"

Zhao Susu nodded: "Okay, I don't know what happened in the capital recently. Those officers and soldiers searched very strictly. It feels like something big is going to happen, but can't we leave now?"

Meng Yu smiled with her lips pursed. Isn't it possible that something big is going to happen?

She was no stranger to the affairs of the court based on the news coming from Uncle Wu Yanshu.

Especially after knowing that Pei Mingqiu was actually the Ghost-faced General, she combined it with the information she knew and was able to guess roughly.

If Uncle Pei doesn't rebel despite this, then he is too loyal. He doesn't seem to be such an inflexible and pedantic person.

Today should be the day when Uncle Pei will take action, so she will wait.

If there is chaos in the capital, she must stay by Zhao Susu's side and protect her.

In the afternoon, the capital city really became chaotic.
