Emperor Qingping can only move his eyes now.

Xue Yan sat on the head of his bed, and Empress Jiang stood aside.Their communication can only be said by the two of them. Emperor Qingping blinked.

Just now, they were at a loss what to do, this was Xue Yan's idea.

"If you agree, blink once, and if you disagree, blink twice," he said. "Make no mistake."

Emperor Qingping paused, it seemed that he didn't like such a passive way of communication.

Xue Yan was very impatient.

"Understood?" he asked.

Emperor Qingping really couldn't think of a better way.

He barely blinked.

"Let me say yes first," Xue Yan said. "No matter what you ask me to do, don't let me sit on the throne. I finally chased my wife, don't scare me away."

Emperor Qingping stared at him and blinked hard twice.

Xue Yan laughed coldly.

"It's no use if you don't agree," he said. "If you can't do this, you can't talk about anything else."

Emperor Qingping stared at him, Xue Yan looked back at him indifferently.

"If you can't agree to this matter, don't blame your century-old ancestor's foundation for neglecting." Xue Yan hugged her arms and said without hesitation. "Anyway, seeing the ancestors and ancestors is also because of your credulous trust in the courtiers."

When the people around heard such disrespectful words, they didn't dare to speak out, lowered their eyebrows, and just wanted to pretend that they didn't exist.

Empress Jiang next to her didn't dare to speak.

After a while, Emperor Qingping gritted his teeth and blinked, staring at Xue Yan.

Xue Yan snorted and laughed.

Empress Jiang watched in shock.

Even though Emperor Qingping can't speak now and his limbs are stiff, he is still an emperor and a symbol of Dayong's supreme power.

Apart from Xue Yan, there is no one else who can disrespect him like this.

Emperor Qingping stared at Xue Yan, but Xue Yan remained indifferent.After a while, Emperor Qingping was so angry that he was also discouraged, and he closed his eyes heavily, just as if he couldn't see it.

Inexplicably, this scene made these two look like father and son for the first time in the past 20 years.

Xue Yan laughed, knowing that Emperor Qingping was forced to acquiesce.

After reaching a consensus on this matter, the two can continue talking.

"Since you want me to take care of it, you must be worried about your eldest son and second son, right?"

Emperor Qingping blinked without hesitation.

Xue Yan laughed: "That's right, I'm not too old-fashioned yet."

Emperor Qingping started to stare at him again.

But Xue Yan didn't care at all.

Even Empress Jiang, who was next to him, couldn't stand it anymore and tugged at his sleeve.

Xue Yan had no intention of repenting at all, Emperor Qingping's eyes were sore, and he simply looked away and stopped looking at him.

"What about the sixth prince?" Xue Yan continued to ask.

Emperor Qingping pondered for a while, then blinked once, and then blinked again.

Empress Jiang nodded at the side and said: "I have spoiled Yun Huan too much, and raised him to be loose and naive. He doesn't like reading at all, and he doesn't know much about court affairs. Even if it is this palace, Don't worry about him either."

Although she is a queen, her father is an important minister in the court.But Prime Minister Jiang is inherently conservative and rigid, and he doesn't like favoritism very much, so Empress Jiang has been trained to have such a disposition by him since she was a child.

After speaking, she looked at Xue Yan.

The implication is that there is no one else to do except Xue Yan.After all, the next few princes were either just enlightened or still in their infancy.

Xue Yan clicked his tongue impatiently.

"The doctor from Jiangnan will be here soon," he said. "Wait for him to come and see the situation."

Emperor Qingping's eyes immediately followed him.

Xue Yan knew what he was afraid of, and continued: "I will help you deal with the court affairs for the time being. But I don't live in the palace, and I don't want to be the prince. If you can cure it, you can do it yourself in the future. If it can't be cured , it depends on which of your subsequent sons will become a talent, and who will be handed over to them at that time."

With these words, he agreed to Emperor Qingping to temporarily take care of the foundation of the dynasty for him.

Emperor Qingping still had some understanding of Xue Yan's personality.Since he is willing to take over at this time, he will not let go of it until the overall situation is settled.

Emperor Qingping knew that Xue Yan was willing to cover for him.

A big stone in his heart was finally let go.But while reassuring, I also feel a little pity.

It has to be said that since he woke up, or since a year ago, whenever he occasionally thinks about the succession to the throne, he will feel that Xue Yan is the only one who is the most suitable.

This throne was snatched by him from among his many flesh and blood siblings.Over the years, he has tried his best to secure this position, and at the same time, he has been guarding against others' coveting.

But he didn't expect that one day, he wanted to give up this position, but the other party didn't want it at all.

Emperor Qingping looked at Xue Yan and blinked, as if he agreed.

Xue Yan responded, saying that the deal was settled, he got up without hesitation, took his leave and left.

Emperor Qingping looked at Xue Yan's back.

He knew, and he couldn't blame anyone.

Now that it has reached such a point, all the faults are all because of him.

-

Early in the morning of the second day, the civil and military officials of Manchu Dynasty arrived at the court hall, and they waited quietly for who would be the person sitting on the dragon chair today.

None of the ministers said a word, and they all seemed to be normal, but upon closer inspection, it could be seen that everyone looked a little nervous and apprehensive.

Now that the situation in the court is changing, although His Royal Highness Guangling Wang can be regarded as stabilizing the court, but when it comes to the final conclusion, everyone is still a little uncertain.

At this moment, the sound of drums sounded outside the main hall, and it was regarded as the official start of the court meeting.

According to the past, the emperor would be informed by the eunuch at this time, step out from behind the main hall, and sit on the dragon chair.

Even if the four princes went to court that day, it was the same.

Everyone held their breath and focused.

But they heard the eunuch's voice coming from behind them.

"His Royal Highness King Guangling has arrived—"

The eunuch even stuttered in shock, and then all the officials turned pale in shock and looked behind them one after another.

His Royal Highness Guangling came from outside the palace?

For a moment, everyone was dumbfounded and stared at him blankly.

However, Xue Yan was dressed in the court uniform of a county king, passing by the officials without looking sideways, and passed Prime Minister Jiang who was standing at the head of the officials.

He stepped onto the golden steps in front of the dragon chair, turned around and stood still in front of the dragon chair.

Jin Baoyao followed behind him majestically, and stood beside the dragon chair.

Xue Yan sat down on the dragon chair.

All the ministers looked at him in surprise.

Since Xue Yan did not live in the palace, he naturally still entered and left the court as the county king.But why did he go to the dragon chair again.

Everyone was confused for a moment.

But Xue Yan clicked his tongue impatiently.

"What are you standing there for?" he asked. "Is there nothing to play, nothing to deal with?"

All the ministers suddenly came to their senses and knelt down to salute.

Xue Yan pressed the armrest with one hand and adjusted a more comfortable sitting position.

"Father was poisoned, I will definitely investigate this matter and find a way to cure it." Xue Yan said.

"But now, he can't do anything. I will handle the affairs of the court on my behalf. As for who will be the crown prince and who will be given the throne, it is not a matter of discussion now."

He glanced around the group of officials.

"In short, whoever sits in this position has nothing to do with you. You just do your duty well, and you don't need to worry about the rest. I am different from my father. I have a bad temper. You should have heard about it."

All the ministers responded quickly.

Xue Yan raised his hand to make them stand up.

From then on, the early dynasty was orderly.

Xue Yan's prestige is naturally known to all civil and military officials in Chang'an.When he first entered the court, it was not that he did not think of ways to oppose him and impeach him.

However, the fate of these people is not very good.

From then on, all the officials knew that everyone would do some unavoidable and shady things.As long as you have done it, you must not provoke Guangling King.If you want to have a magnanimous official career and avoid troubles, the most important thing is not to get into trouble with King Guangling.

All the officials know to be afraid, but the Xu family is the only one who doesn't.But now, the fate of the Xu family is obvious to all.

Now that Xue Yan is sitting in that position, no one dares to disobey his wishes.

As a result, a morning court was run safely and steadily, and the efficiency was even much higher than when Emperor Qingping was there.

Two quarters earlier than usual, the morning court was over.

The officials dispersed, and Xue Yan left Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment alone.

"How to convict Xu Xiang's family, have you decided yet?" Xue Yan asked.

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment hurriedly said: "Go back to the prince, it has been prepared, and we just wait for the prince to make an order."

Xue Yan hummed and motioned for him to continue.

Xu Xiang's family had been corrupt, accepted bribes, and colluded with the vassal king, and now they are holding hostage with heavy troops, surrounding the capital, and intending to usurp the throne.Such a felony is enough to punish the nine clans of the Xu family.

There was no controversy, and the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment did not hesitate much, and told Xue Yan the result drawn up by the Ministry of Punishment.

Xue Yan hummed.

"The Xu family's crimes are lightly judged," he said.

The Minister of Criminal Justice was taken aback.

This... the extermination of the nine clans is already a capital punishment, how can it be more serious?

He didn't dare to speak, and knelt down on the steps waiting for Xue Yan's instructions.

Xue Yan's hand slowly turned the dragon head on the armrest of the dragon chair.

"If the nine clans are punished, how will Xu Xiang, Xu Zonglun and Xu Zongwei be judged?"

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice said: "Naturally, beheading..."

Xue Yan's movements stopped.

"The three of them will be sentenced separately," he said.

Last night, Duan Shishi had already told him the situation of Jun's family.Xue Yan knew why Xue Yunhong sent people to Yongning Duke's mansion and arrested the Duke's wife and eldest daughter together in prison.

It was Xu Xiang's family who wanted to kill Yongning Gong in Jiangnan.Now he wants to take advantage of the fact that there are no males in the Yongning mansion, so he wants to imprison the female relatives because of the quarrel between the Jun family and the Xu family.

Xue Yan naturally wouldn't let them go so easily.

"Please tell me clearly, my lord." The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment hurriedly said.

Xue Yan looked at him, and said casually: "Another way of dying, don't be too decent, and don't be too easy. As for which way to die, I think you know better than me."

The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment is naturally clear.

"But..." However, there has never been a precedent for a few individual sentencing from among the crowd who killed the family.

Xue Yan was too lazy to listen to him.

"Just do it," he said. "What about Xue Yunhong?" Xue Yan asked again.

"This...it involves the emperor's heir, and the humble ministers speak lightly and dare not make a judgment." The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment paused and said. "Therefore, I also ask the prince to show me."

Xue Yan smiled inexplicably.

"Since we want to seize the throne, can we still save his life?" He asked.

The Minister of the Ministry of punishment understands that this is to kill.

But Xue Yan followed suit.

"Beheading," he said.

Minister of the Ministry of punishment was surprised.

Princes and grandsons, even if they committed a felony and were to be executed, the whole body should be left behind.To the fourth prince, the decapitation is a monstrous humiliation!

Shangshu of the Ministry of punishment was stunned.

Xue Yan frowned impatiently: "Is there a problem?"

No problem, of course no problem.

Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice broke out in a cold sweat and left in a daze.

When the Minister of the Ministry of Punishments left the hall, Xue Yan laughed coldly.

These people not only have their own ideas, but also dare to move the Yongning government.Let them die well, can I still sleep peacefully?

Jin Bao next to him came up with a smile.

"My lord, morning is over, where are we going?"

It stands to reason, of course he has to go back to his home, so he needs to ask where.

But he meant something, which fell into Xue Yan's arms.

He paused, then said, "Go to the Duke's Mansion to have a look."

Jin Bao let out a grin, and hurriedly arranged to go.

The Duke's Mansion just encountered a catastrophe yesterday, but thanks to Xue Yan's help, they were able to save the day.It is naturally reasonable for Xue Yan to visit today.

Jinbao quickly made arrangements, and as soon as Xue Yan left the palace, the carriage drove towards the Duke's mansion without stopping.

Jin Bao handed in the post in a dignified manner.

Unexpectedly, the servant at the concierge took the post, glanced at it, and stuffed it back into Jin Bao's hand.

"Eunuch, you and the prince please go back."

Jin Bao was surprised: "Is there no one in the house?"

The porter shook his head.

"Madam has an order, but all the people in the Guangling Palace, no matter who they are, will not be seen."
