Chapter 943: Chapter 943-Deserved!

” Xie Xian, you messed up my Daliang Empire and killed the royal family. I, Daliang-” Before he could say anything, someone covered his mouth.

“I really didn’t expect that you, Xie Xian, would actually be such a ruthless person for fame and fortune. You even disregard your family, wife, and children.”Jiang Xia Prince was calm, just like when he had just entered the mourning hall today, without any fear.

Xie Xian:

“For the sake of the Daliang Empire, Your Highness…I’m sorry.” After a pause, he continued,”Xian can only follow the Emperor’s last words and send His Highness on his way.””

King Jiang Xia looked at him and clapped his hands as he laughed.

He had overlooked the human heart.

“You, this king admires.”

Xie Xian understood what he said, and so did Prince Jiang Xia.

At this moment, a eunuch’s voice came from outside the hall,””The General of the Guards has arrived!”

Not long after, Chu Yan strode to the front of the mourning hall in his court attire. He first knelt three times and kowtowed nine times in front of Emperor Yong Ping’s coffin. Then, he stood up and kowtowed to Empress Xiao.

“Reporting to the Empress, we have received the Emperor’s orders. We are deeply afraid that King Jiang Xia will plot a rebellion and fail to fight to the death. Therefore, we have set up defenses early and put Jingdou under martial law. As expected, Yang Fengming was captured outside the Xie residence. This thief forged an imperial edict to kill the Xie family and kill all the Xie clansmen. Fortunately, the Xie family resisted with all their might. Fortunately, I was not too late and was saved in time. The entire family survived.”

“At this point, this subject will detain this subject Yang Fengming outside the hall and invite the Empress to preside over the decision.”

At this point, King Jiang Xia finally admitted defeat.

He did not believe that Emperor Yong Ping had the initiative. Would the little Emperor be killed by him if he had that kind of brain?

However, the heavens did not bless him, allowing Xie Xian to seize the initiative and strike first.

“Throw them out and kill them all.” Empress Xiao said coldly.

Zhuge Shu escorted Prince Jiang Xia out. At this moment, Princess Consort Jiang Xia bit the Royal Guards who were covering his mouth and cried,””Everything was my doing. It has nothing to do with His Highness or my son. If you have the guts, come at me-”

King Jiang Xia let out a long sigh. Alright, this was the final verdict.

He didn’t say anything unnecessary. He didn’t even show any signs of struggling. He even urged Zhuge Shu,”Let’s go.”

If it was him, he would not show mercy either. He would definitely eliminate the weeds and roots.

If you want the one in power to let the prisoners go and let the heir of the Wang family live, isn’t that a dream? If you don’t get rid of the roots, where are you doing the maintenance of the imperial garden?

Most of the hot-blooded members of the royal family had been killed by Emperor Yu Heng, Emperor Yong Ping, and the executioner Xie Xian.

It was originally just a desperate fight. If he succeeded, he would be a king. If he failed, he would die.

In any case, he would not be able to escape death if he moved, so of course he had to move.

When he moved, he even dragged a scapegoat with him!

Yes!

Yes!

That’s right!

With the royal family killing each other, why would Daliang not be defeated?

###

The ‘culprit’ Jiang Xia’s capital had been executed, and the royal family members naturally admitted it fearfully. They would do whatever the other party said. If the Emperor had a posthumous edict, then so be it.

If he said he would pass it on to the Second Prince, then he would pass it on.

When everyone nodded and unanimously recognized the Second Prince as the legitimate and reasonable heir, the eunuch sang along and the new Emperor immediately took the throne. Everyone knelt down three times and kowtowed nine times to acknowledge the new Emperor.

Without the imperial robe, Emperor Yong Ping’s death was too unexpected and he couldn’t rush out even if he worked overtime. It was better to stabilize his reputation first.

As the saying went, a country could not live without a ruler for a day, so as to avoid a long night and many dreams.

With Empress Xiao holding hands and accompanying him throughout the entire process, the Second Prince ascended the throne on the same day under the recognition of the imperial relatives. However, the coronation ceremony and the year title were still to be discussed, so he skipped them.

Under Emperor Yong Ping’s posthumous edict, apart from executing the Jiangxia King on the same day, there were also the General of Wei, Minister Pushe Xie Xian, Sikong Xiao Yun, General of the Army Chu Yan, Minister of the Ministry of Personnel Xu Ze, and the King of Yuzhang, who led the Grand Marshal to assist the government.

The King of Yuzhang was only eight years old, and he was assisting the five-year-old Second Prince…Oh, it did seem like Emperor Yong Ping would do it.

At the very least, he was his biological brother.

No matter what others thought, the King of Yuzhang did not dare to think so.

As for the truth, it was no longer important. The dust had settled.

The Eldest Princess of Xuancheng had been kneeling in front of the memorial and did not utter a single word throughout. Regardless of whether it was the earth-shattering quarrel between Prince Jiang Xia and Xie Xian, or the fact that Prince Jiang Xia had been defeated in the blink of an eye and had been captured with conclusive evidence, it was as if it had nothing to do with her.

She was so calm that Xiao Baoshu only dared to look at her. He did not participate in the fight for the throne.

Minister Qi of the Ministry of Rites presided over the funeral ceremony. Now that Jingdou was under martial law, once the situation was settled, he ordered the eunuchs to give orders to the temples in the palace city and strike the bell 30,000 times to show the people of the world that the emperor had passed away.

Xie Xian accompanied Empress Xiao and the new Emperor to deal with the harem of the previous dynasty in an orderly manner. By the time they returned to the Xie residence, the sky was already dark and the drums were beating.

Although he had heard about everything that had happened in the residence from Liu Yun, Xie Xian was still anxious when he returned to the residence, and his footsteps were in a mess.

The entire family did not return to their respective courtyards to rest. They were all waiting in Yi An Hall.

The maid lifted the curtain. Xie Xian had just stepped in when Xie Qing rushed out impatiently.

“Who ascended the throne?”

“Are you alright?” Xiao Baoxin rushed forward and pulled Xie Qing’s arm to the side, almost causing her to fall to the ground.

Xie Qing: The situation is weaker than others, I will endure it.

“I have nothing to lose,” Xie Xian held Xiao Baoxin’s hand. The tip of his hand was still cold, and he was holding her injured hand.

Although the scratch wasn’t deep, Miracle Doctor Xue was worried that it would leave a scar, so he applied some medicine and wrapped it up. It looked a little scary.

“You hurt your hand? Where else are you hurt? Can you move your hands?” Xie Xian realized that his soul had asked three times.

Xie Qing pounded on the ground. Brother, you should ask the people who hurt her hand and those who didn’t even hurt her hair. They all died miserably. One of them had an arrow pierced through his throat!

However, intimidated by Xiao Baoxin’s martial strength, he did not dare to make a sound in the end.

” I’m fine.” Xiao Baoxin didn’t think much of it.” It’s a flesh wound. There’s not much blood left.””

Xie Xian’s heart ached. He had not thought things through.

I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know

As an old minister of four dynasties, King Jiang Xia had always been cautious. If he had not been forced by Emperor Yong Ping, he would not have come to this point.

It’s really time, it’s fate.

He knew that this time, either he would die or Jiang Xia Prince would die.

Once King Jiang Xia gained power, he would definitely not let him off. He could only strike first to gain the upper hand and eliminate the roots. Otherwise, there would be endless trouble in the future.

“.. Fortunately, the Emperor had left behind a posthumous edict to pass the throne to the Second Prince, leaving behind five auxiliary ministers.”Xie Xian said in a deep voice.

He simplified everything that happened in the palace and did not elaborate.

The Second Prince?

Xie Qing and her father, Second Master Xie, looked at each other. Emperor Yong Ping had the foresight to leave behind a posthumous edict and even knew to order the killing of Prince Jiang Xia? What did he do when he was alive?

With such a decision, would he be courting death?
