Surprise! The villain is my brother, stay calm!

Chapter 211 Ascending the throne as emperor

Even though King Ping was unwilling, he closed his eyes forever.

When the thousands of surviving soldiers saw that King Ping was dead, they dared not resist anymore and immediately dropped their weapons and begged for mercy.

Lu Zhanxing handed the captives over to his eldest sister, while she went to the palace to check the situation.

When he arrived at the gate of the palace, he found that they were all Lu's army, but in front of the gate were actually two of his good friends.

“Brother Lu!!”

Sun Qiming, who was wearing armor, was very happy to see Lu Zhanxing.

When she saw her two good friends, she knew that they had chosen to stand on her side.

Lu Zhanxing did not dismount, but said to them: "I will go find my brother first, and we will get together again in a couple of days."

The two nodded to show their understanding. Now that Lu Zhanyan had just succeeded in his rebellion, he must have a lot of things to deal with.

At this time, Lu Zhanyan was talking to several ministers in the imperial study.

"Big Brother!!"

Lu Zhanxing excitedly entered the imperial study, and went straight in without caring whether other ministers were there.

Huai Mo, who was guarding the gate, knew that the second young master had a close relationship with the master, so he did not stop him.

When Lu Zhanyan saw Lu Zhanxing, he did not get angry because she interrupted the conversation. Instead, he smiled and said, "Brother Xing!"

"Congratulations to you on completing your great cause. I wish you all the best in the future." Lu Zhanxing congratulated.

"Your help is indispensable for my brother to accomplish his great cause. You have come at the right time. Please discuss the follow-up with the ministers!"

Prime Minister Su glanced at his son-in-law and was satisfied to see that she had the trust of the future emperor.

He said, "Your Majesty, the most urgent thing is to hold the coronation ceremony as soon as possible and ascend the throne to be emperor."

As long as he hadn't officially ascended the throne, Lu Zhanyan's status would be unstable. If he delayed, something would happen. The sooner he ascended the throne, the better. As long as the coronation ceremony was over, if other Chu clan members dared to raise an army, it would be a rebellion.

Therefore, the next period of time is particularly important. The transfer of power is always an eventful period, and I am afraid that the recent period will be busy.

Lu Zhanxing also supports his brother to ascend the throne as soon as possible and announce it to the world!

She is still waiting for her title of King Xiaoyao.

After some discussion, the coronation ceremony was scheduled for early June. Prime Minister Su, Minister Wei and Minister Mei were asked to do some ideological work on those officials first, and to thoroughly investigate some officials who had committed crimes. At that time, they could be directly demoted and replaced by their own trusted officials.

Lu Zhanyan also asked Lu Xihua, who had made great contributions, to lead troops to Xuzhou to bring his relatives back to Beijing.

Gu Xuyao ​​and Xiao Lanjue were kept by Lu Zhanyan to discuss other matters.

As for Lu Zhanxing, he slipped away using the excuse of dealing with matters concerning his previous business!

Lu Zhanyan felt helpless that his brother did not like to get involved in these political affairs and could only let him do as he pleased.

He also instructed the Ministry of Rites to arrange the enthronement.

The Chu clan members, Chu's in-laws, the Minister of War and the Minister of Justice, the mansion of the Duke of Qing, and several court officials were all ransacked, and all the clan members were exiled three thousand miles away to serve in the army.

Some problematic officials also had their homes confiscated and were exiled to remote areas.

The task of confiscating the property fell on Lu Zhanxing, and Lu Zhanyan couldn't really let her sit idle.

Lu Zhanxing is the younger brother of the future new emperor and will also be a prince in the future. Everyone is very respectful when they see him.

Who could have thought that the playboy back then would have such good fortune now?

All those playboys in the past regretted why they didn’t make friends with Lu Zhanxing in the first place?

Haven't you seen how Sun Qiming and Mo Feiyu were treated? Because they were on good terms with Lu Zhanxing, they were still valued by the new emperor. Sun Qiming became the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, while the young marquis Mo Feiyu was not implicated by his relationship with Prince Ping, but was transferred to the North Camp as a deputy general to train soldiers.

No matter how regretful these people were, Lu Zhanxing was very interested in the job of confiscating property. He did not expect that he would get to experience the feeling of confiscating property himself.

A lot of valuables were searched out from these mansions. When Lu Zhanxing saw something he liked, he put it into his space without hesitation. After all, his brother was not short of money, so what was wrong with her taking a few pieces?

If I and my brother ask for it, my brother will give it to me. My brother is so busy now, so I just save his time.

Someone embezzles with a clear conscience.

Even when he was raiding the mansion of Duke Qing, he happened to see Yang Jingyi in a bad mood and beating his wife Lin Weiwei. After all, they knew each other, so Lu Zhanxing beat Yang Jingyi up and then put him in shackles. He understood that Yang Jingyi had a broken leg and could use a wheelchair, but he had to push himself to the place of exile and no one was allowed to help.

So while others had their legs disabled, Yang Jingyi, who lived a life of luxury, had his hands disabled.

After returning, he said that Yang Jingyi was dissatisfied and he had a fight with him.

Lu Zhanyan asked worriedly, "Are you injured?"

"Yes, my hands are sore from being beaten!"

Lu Zhanyan's expression darkened: "You are going too far, don't be afraid, I will vent your anger for you."

Lu Zhanxing, who originally just wanted to express that his job of confiscating property was not easy, really did not expect that his brother would actually call the old Duke Qing who was about to be sent to exile, and scolded him severely, causing the Duke Qing to faint from anger.

Lu Zhanxing saw with his own eyes how his brother calmly called the imperial physician, and after the patient was cured, he was sent for further reformation.

Not to the point of... Really not to the point of...

The other person's grandson suffered a loss and was scolded in return. How unlucky he is.

Lu Zhanxing silently sympathized with the old Duke of Qing, and then continued her cause of confiscating his property.

I heard that Yang Jingchen died?

Lu Zhanxing expressed her doubts, but since the person was not there, she couldn't say anything and could only send someone to keep an eye on him secretly.

When the new emperor ascended the throne, many positions in the court became vacant.

Fortunately, the people of Lord Wei and Prime Minister Su are still useful.

All the officials who were imprisoned in prison were released and filled important positions.

Several other ministers or relatives of the Chu family were found to have made mistakes and were transferred to other places or demoted, causing great changes in the court.

A new emperor appoints new ministers, and these high-ranking officials had to leave. It was lucky that they were not demoted to their posts.

From now on, you can only return to the capital based on your political achievements.

The most excited and happy ones were King Wu, Minister Sun and others, because they had won the bet.

Because his son Sun Qiming was on good terms with Lu Zhanxing, Minister Sun not only kept his position as Minister but also became the Minister of Rites. This was all thanks to his son's meritorious performance.

We attach more importance to the coronation ceremony and must not let the new emperor down.

Because the King of Wu saved Lu Zhanxing's property, Lu Zhanyan was not too stingy. The King of Wu's Palace was saved and could even be inherited for three generations.

The King of Wu was extremely excited. Finally, he no longer had to worry about his palace being confiscated.

It can still be inherited for three generations. He has to work hard to train his grandson. Now he has met the right time, place and people, and his bet has been made. If no outstanding sons enter the court in the future, the Wu Palace will sooner or later decline after three generations.

As for the matters in the harem, Lu Zhanyan has not dealt with them yet. Everything will be discussed after Queen Chu Yao arrives.

In early June, Lu Zhanyan officially ascended the throne as emperor.

After Lu Zhanyan overthrew Daqian, he could have changed the country's name. However, the Daqian kingdom also saw the hard work of Lu's ancestors, so the country's name did not change much and was simply changed to the Daqian Dynasty.

After all, Daqian has defeated both Qi and Dayan, and its territory is larger than theirs, so it is naturally qualified to be called a dynasty, proving that it is superior to the other two countries.

The reign title was Zhaoyuan, which means bright and clear.

Originally, Lu Zhanyan wanted to name the year Xuanyuan, but his younger brother said, "Brother, you have a beautiful appearance and an elegant and noble temperament. I think the word Zhao is very suitable for you."

Lu Zhanyan felt embarrassed by his brother's praise, but he immediately accepted her advice.

From then on he was Emperor Zhaoyuan.

The ceremony of enthronement requires burning incense, worshiping heaven and earth, and informing all ancestors. Lu Zhanyan had already enshrined the tablets of the Lu family's ancestors in the Taimiao, allowing the ancestors to enjoy the worship from the world.

The enthronement ceremony was held in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, surrounded by civil and military officials on both sides.

Lu Zhanxing looked at his brother, who was dressed in a black python robe and a pearl crown. He was sitting next to the dragon throne, elegant and noble. He had an arrogant look on his face, which was awe-inspiring.

She couldn't help but feel relieved that her villain brother had finally succeeded in turning the tables.

That’s great! The day when I can lie down by myself is coming.

"Congratulations to your majesty on ascending the throne. Long live your majesty!"

All the ministers knelt and bowed respectfully.

The ceremony lasted a whole day.

After Lu Zhanyan ascended the throne, he began to lavishly reward meritorious officials...
