Chapter 1587: The aftermath (2)

“Apart from my people, who else in the imperial family can save the great Feng that is in imminent danger, save you all that are in imminent danger?

“By relying on a weak and incompetent Yongxing?”

This was the first time she had revealed her edge and her disdain.

Only now did the members of the royal family realize that they had underestimated this eldest Princess too much in the past. They thought that she was just good at studying and had a good reputation.

From yuanjing to Yongxing, she had always been low-key, not revealing herself, and did not care about government affairs.

Only now did she reveal her true face. When they came back to their senses, their lives were already in the hands of her.

Seeing that no one disobeyed, huaiqing retracted his sharp aura and said, ”

“I’ve called all of you here today to prevent the royal family from shedding blood. If you support me, you can naturally enjoy glory, splendor, wealth, and rank.

“Granduncle, you’re the elder, so you should say something.”

Prince Li couldn’t help but look at Huai Qing. He was shocked to see that her eyes were dark and calm, but they contained killing intent. His heart instantly trembled, and he said in a deep voice,

“What else can this King say?”

Huaiqing then looked at his brother, who was in a daze. He gently tidied his clothes and smoothed out the folds on his chest.

“In the future, I’ll have to trouble fourth Imperial brother, Yongxing, and the other brothers to temporarily live under the stargazing tower.

“Bengong will take good care of the children of fourth brother and the other brothers.

“If uncles are interested in staying in the stargazing tower, this Prince will welcome you.”

The members of the royal family’s expressions changed.

“Pa pa!”

Huaiqing clapped his hands and summoned the soldiers outside the side hall. He ordered,

“Bring him back to the throne room, and bring the members of the Royal faction to me.”

The Royal faction did not know that she wanted to ascend the throne. Xu Qi ‘an had convinced Wang zhenwen with the excuse of appointing Yan Prince.

However, now that they were on the same boat, it would be difficult to go back down. So, next, huaiqing had to have a heart-to-heart talk with the backbone of the Royal party.

………..

Near noon, the chaos from the Imperial Palace to the Imperial City was completely suppressed. All the Masters of the Imperial Army were suppressed by Xu Qi ‘an. The soldiers of the twelve guards who were loyal to Emperor Yongxing were all persuaded to surrender, and those who were loyal to him were all killed.

With Xu Qi ‘an’s protection, none of the guest officials of the high officials and nobles in the Imperial City dared to show their faces.

In the throne room, the Dukes, nobles, and members of the Imperial clan gathered once again. Huaiqing stepped into the throne room under the protection of two rows of armored soldiers. He was wearing a white dress, and the hem of his dress trailed on the ground.

She gracefully walked to the front of the throne and looked down at the ministers in the hall. Her voice was cold, ”

“Since the beginning of winter, the cold has been wreaking havoc and the people have had a hard time. Yongxing’s poor governance resulted in the resentment of the people and the rise of rebellions. He knows that his virtue is not worthy and wants to abdicate and entrust the state to bengong.

“Do you have any objections?”

Other than the Yun state’s diplomatic mission, all the Dukes, nobles, and members of the royal family bowed their heads and shouted, ”

“Your Highness is kind and can accept this important task.”

Because he had not ascended the throne, he could not be called His Majesty yet.

The cloud state’s diplomatic mission stood alone. They were frightened and a little embarrassed.

..

Xu Qi ‘an stood at the top of the throne room with his hands behind his back, overlooking the entire Palace.

The cold wind lifted the corners of his clothes and blew his hair. The voices of the officials in the hall echoed in his ears. Xu Qi ‘an could not help but remember that two years ago, he was still an insignificant person.

Yuan jing, Wei Yuan, the supervisor, Wang zhenwen, and the other officials in the hall were all in high positions. They were people he could only see but not reach.

Two years later, these people would either be dead or sick, and the court and even the entire capital would be under his feet.

“The rolling Yangtze River flows to the East, and the waves wash away the heroes. Right and wrong, success and failure, all turned to nothing. The Green Mountains were still there, and the sun was setting …

“If this poem is thrown out, it will cause a huge uproar and second uncle will be scolded again.”

After chanting the spell in a low voice, he smiled with a complicated expression on his face.

“But I’m no longer in the mood to be famous for my poems.”

……….

Only huaiqing and Xu Qi ‘an were in the Imperial study.

“I still have some face. The 12 guards and the Imperial Army have been suppressed, and everyone has given me face and is well-behaved for the time being.”

Xu Qi ‘an stood in the hall and looked at the cold beauty behind the big table.

“It’s up to you to stabilize the morale of the Army, replace the trusted aides, and stabilize the People’s hearts.”

He acted as if it was none of his business.

Following this, the capital would enter a short period of chaos, and the major forces would need to be reshuffled.

Those that could be roped in would be roped in, and those that couldn’t would be eliminated. Of course, those that needed to compromise would make certain concessions.

He didn’t need to worry about these things. Xu Qi ‘an believed that the eldest Princess would take care of it herself.

Huaiqing’s fingers ran across the brushes on the brush rack and picked an ivory brush. He said indifferently,

“How you face Lin ‘an next is also your business.

“The little palace maid of the jingxiu Palace, just now she risked her life to come over and pass a message. Noble Consort Chen wants to see you, Lin an is also here.”

After the four gates of the Imperial Palace were under control, huaiqing released the restrictions and no longer prohibited the princes, princesses, and concubines from entering and leaving their residences.

Xu Qi ‘an thought for a while and said, ”

“I have an idea to stabilize the People’s hearts. We can parade the cloud state’s diplomatic mission through the streets and put up a notice saying that I was the one who initiated this campaign to clean the emperor’s side. You’re a Princess, and your ascension to the throne is not legitimate. Before you make any achievements, the people of the world will not acknowledge you.

“But you can borrow my reputation.”

“Bengong had the same intention.” Huai Qing dipped his brush in ink and casually wrote some of the poems he had written in the past on the paper.

“There is no need to pay attention to noble Consort Chen. If you find her annoying, bengong will take care of her for you. As for Lin ‘an …”

The eldest princess’s lips curled into a mocking smile.

Xu yinluo is the best at sweet talk. Just show me your best ability.
