Your Majesty, please beg for mercy. The prince's rebellion was successful.

When the new emperor ascended the throne, he not only did not disturb the people, but also benefited the world.

Many courtiers above the court began to gradually become busy in their new posts.

In Zhou Zheng's words, the bloodbath cleaned up the old officials of the previous dynasty, but it could not let Chao Gang languish.

And inside the second prince Zhou Ting's residence.

The atmosphere was depressing at this time, and the maids and servants in the mansion seemed to sense a sense of solemnity, and were careful not to take a big breath.

"Your Highness, Your Highness... committed suicide by taking poison..."

The old man's trembling voice made Zhou Ting tremble suddenly, and then a look of surprise and panic flashed in his eyes.

When Zhou Zheng ascended the throne and changed the reign name to Kaiyuan, he vaguely guessed Zhou Fan's ending.

I just didn't expect it to come so quickly.

Zhou Fan was greedy for life, fearful of death, and obsessed with imperial power. How could he commit suicide by taking poison? ?

Everything has to do with the new emperor in the palace.

"Everyone in the mansion has been dismissed."

"His Highness's name has also been completely erased from the genealogy."

"This lineage is completely gone."

The old man swallowed his saliva and carefully told Zhou Ting the news.

Who would have thought that Zhou Fan, who once dominated the court and played a decisive role, would end up like this.

If he had known this earlier, I wonder if he would have retreated from the situation like Zhou Ting did.

Zhou Ting clenched his fist slightly, but finally relaxed it.

"Let's make some arrangements to find a geomantic treasure and bury our eldest brother in a dignified manner."

After a long time, Zhou Ting's voice became a little decadent. Since ancient times, emperors have fought for each other and killed each other.

Since you have chosen to get involved in the throne, you must be prepared to die.

"But in this case, where is the new emperor?..."

The old man raised his head suddenly, a trace of panic visible on his face. Zhou Zheng is naturally kind to the world, but he is ruthless towards people like them!

If you collect Zhou Fan's body at this time, you will undoubtedly be working against the new emperor!

"Don't worry, the new emperor still has this pattern."

"If he really doesn't leave any escape route, then not a single person in the entire mansion will be left alive."

Zhou Ting lowered his head slightly. No matter what, he and Zhou Fan were brothers and couldn't let his body be exposed in the wilderness.

"If I really offend the new emperor, it will be my life."

Zhou Ting's actions moved the old man beside him, which at least showed that Zhou Ting was kind and righteous.

"By the way, the new emperor has ascended the throne. From now on, don't call me Second Highness."

Waving his hand and seeming to think of something, Zhou Ting warned.

The old man quickly agreed. After all, Zhou's etiquette cannot be exceeded.

"Next, Master, what are your plans?"

The old man asked cautiously.

The dignitaries and royal relatives in the capital witnessed Emperor Tianjing's abdication at the Guangming Altar, and heard Zhou Zheng's enthronement edict. Legally speaking, Zhou Zheng was already the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

But within the Altar of Light, those who were still trying to encourage Emperor Tianjing to take charge of the overall situation were either thrown into jail, died of mysterious illnesses, retired from old age and returned home, or went crazy.

We are all smart people, so we can naturally see the secret behind it.

Zhou Ting was once a prominent figure in the court and was the only one who could check and balance Zhou Fan.

Especially Zhou Ting's influence in the army made the officials in the court even more afraid.

Would Zhou Zheng really let such a person go easily?

"Local officials, those of seventh rank and above, are all on their way to Beijing."

"The princes, princes, and kings who can still walk will also come to the capital without stopping."

"Aristocratic families and local celebrities do not dare to neglect, like crucian carp crossing a river, gathering in the capital."

"This new emperor ascended the throne in a simple way and did not make any grand arrangements. It can be said to be the greatest crime in the history of Zhou Dynasty and even the world."

"But the more this happens, the more no one dares to neglect it."

Zhou Ting's voice lowered a little, and the solemn look on his face became a little heavier.

"No one knows whether he really wants to do this or is using this as an excuse to reshuffle the entire Zhou Dynasty."

"Even if the new emperor really wants to be low-key, thrifty, and unwilling to be extravagant and wasteful, people in the world will still focus all their attention on the new emperor."

"Everyone in the world knows what the new emperor did in Xiang County."

"What do you think will happen if that kind of thing spreads over every inch of land in the Great Zhou Dynasty?"

Zhou Ting was thoughtful, he was much calmer now than before.

These words made the old man behind him tremble and sweat profusely.

People from all over the world come to Beijing not only for pilgrimage, but also as a test!

Those high-ranking officials, those local tycoons, those princes with the same surname, those royal relatives and nobles, they are a community of interests.

As long as their interests can be guaranteed, it doesn't make much difference to them who becomes the emperor.

But if someone desperately wants to affect their interests, I'm afraid it will be another catastrophe.

"What do you mean, lord?"

Gulu swallowed his saliva, and the old man couldn't help wiping the sweat on his forehead.

"The rain is coming and the wind is blowing all over the building."

"Now that the whole country is celebrating and tens of thousands of people are coming to Beijing, I'm afraid it's not that simple."

Standing with his hands behind his back, Zhou Ting had a trace of sadness on his face.

"It's just that the current new emperor cannot be shaken by a mere local force."

"Hopefully they make the right choice."

"Compared with so-called interests, life and death are obviously more important."

Zhou Ting's eyes were surging, and he spoke softly, with serious words.

Unfortunately, some people are destined not to listen to these words.

"After this incident is over, I will take the initiative to ask the new emperor for instructions to stay away from Kyoto and the court."

"In the future, becoming a dashing prince may be the best choice."

After a slight pause, Zhou Ting muttered to himself.

In the past, they looked down upon King Yong the most, but as time passed, looking back, they realized how correct King Zhou Yong's original choice was.

The gentleman does not stand under the wall.

To live is the most important thing.

......

At the same time, on various official roads leading to Kyoto, groups of people can be seen appearing from time to time. They are neatly dressed, carrying large and small boxes of treasures on their carriages, and they are heading towards the capital in an endless stream.

In the capital city, it was even more overcrowded. All the major hotels were already fully booked and the place was bustling with people.

"Your Majesty, many local dignitaries have arrived in the capital."

"The princes and princes are also here."

"Everyone is waiting for the court's summons."

In the court hall, Mu Yun reported the situation outside.

The other ministers also raised their heads and looked at Zhou Zheng.

This is the best time to show the emperor's power. As long as he is recognized by these people this time, Zhou Zheng's status will be as stable as Mount Tai.

At the same time, the new emperor's blessings can also be spread throughout the world.

It can be said that everyone in the court is also looking forward to such a grand occasion.

However, Zhou Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly as he sat on the dragon chair.

"Send the order and invite all officials to a banquet!"

......
