Beitang Xuanyang could not wait to slap the ministers in front of him to death!
If his Jindan had not been taken away, he would not have to listen to these stupid and weak mortals talking non-stop. They even wanted to force him to change the decree of moving the capital.
"Your Majesty, moving the capital is not a trivial matter. It cannot be decided rashly. Please take back the decree." Several cabinet ministers knelt in front of Beitang Xuanyang, holding their official hats in their hands. If Beitang Xuanyang refused to take back the decree, they would resign and leave.
"What if I don't take back the decree?" Beitang Xuanyang asked with a sneer. Did he still need to be threatened by these mortals? "If you want to resign, then take off your official hats and robes. I don't believe that the imperial court can do anything without you."
The faces of several ministers changed dramatically. They had already resigned, but the emperor was indifferent.
"Your Majesty, the capital is the foundation of the Dark North Kingdom. The capital must not be moved. Please think twice." A few of the old officials cried bitterly. They didn't understand how the previously gentle and humble Crown Prince had become like this. Although the previous Emperor was ruthless, he wasn't obstinate and would listen to the opinions of the court officials on many matters.
How could he be like the new emperor, moving the capital as soon as he ascended the throne!
Was moving the capital a trivial matter? This was not a trivial matter!
"Come on, throw them out," Beitang Xuanyang said angrily.
Several guards came in from outside and dragged out the ministers who were kneeling on the ground.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty …"
"You can't move the capital. Once the capital is moved, the Dark North Kingdom will perish."
"Your Majesty, think twice …"
Beitang Xuanyang snorted coldly and was indifferent to their shouts.
These ministers were thrown out of the Palace of Heavenly Purity. They did not leave, but knelt outside and refused to leave, wanting Beitang Xuanyang to change his mind.
Soon, this matter reached the ears of Qian Danqing.
"Beitang Xuanyang …" Qian Danqing shook his head and sighed. He was really wrong. He should not have taken Beitang Xuanyang to the battlefield. If he had not gone to the wilderness, he might still be a little weak Crown Prince, at least much better than now.
"I can't believe our Qian family has cultivated an ingrate." Qian Xiyu said coldly, "I was hoping that he would be grateful to the Qian family. Now, he will only end up feeling sorry for the loss of his own kind."
Qian Danqing turned around and looked at her father. "Dad, our Qian family can't go on like this."
"What do you want to do?" Qian Xiyu frowned and asked.
"He killed Beitang Yu." Qian Danqing said.
"What did you say?" Qian Xiyu thought he had misheard. "Wasn't the late emperor killed by an assassin?"
Qian Danqing said, "There was no assassin. It was Beitang Xuanyang. On the first day he came back, he said that he wanted to kill Beitang Yu. I stopped him, but I didn't expect that after I left, he still did it."
"Do you know what this means? Do you know the crime of killing your father?" Qian Xiyu stared at his son and asked word by word.
"Dad, I just want to tell you that Beitang Xuanyang even killed his own Imperial Father, let alone our Qian Family." Qian Danqing said in a low voice, "No matter what kindness we have shown him before, it's useless."
Qian Xiyu looked at his son in shock. "Is what you said true?"
"Imperial Concubine Qian also knows about this." Qian Danqing said.
"That … That's a beast." Qian Xiyu said.
"Yes, he is a beast. Even if we obey him, he will not be grateful. He will still treat us like Beitang Yu." Qian Danqing said.
Qian Xiyu asked in a deep voice. "What are you going to do?"
"Dad, what do you think?" Qian Danqing asked. Beitang Xuanyang was dead. Even if their Qian Family wanted to support him, Empress Wang would not agree.
"Even if we pull Beitang Xuanyang down, we still have to find someone from the imperial family to replace him. Otherwise … Our Qian Family can't directly usurp the throne." Qian Xiyu said in a low voice. He had such an ambition for a long time, but it was not the right time. He wanted to use Beitang Xuanyang, but now it seemed that the kid was not worth supporting.
"Beitang Yu left a posthumous edict." Qian Danqing said in a low voice. "He wrote the posthumous edict before entering the palace."
Qian Xiyu's face sank. "He gave the throne to Beitang Xuanyang?"
"Yes, Beitang Xuanyang is not dead." Qian Danqing said.
"Didn't Empress Wang come to find you? Do you want to help Beitang Xuanyang?" Qian Xiyu frowned. Wang Family was destroyed by him. If they supported Beitang Xuanyang, it was hard to guarantee that they would not be punished later.
Empress Wang did look for him, but she did not want him to help Beitang Xuanyang ascend the throne. She wanted him to think clearly about what he wanted.
"Dad, I will go to the palace to find Empress Dowager." Qian Danqing said. If Beitang Xuanyang was really hopeless, then he had nothing to worry about.
… …
… …
Imperial Concubine Qian came to the Palace of Heavenly Purity. At a glance, she saw more than a dozen ministers kneeling outside. She felt a sudden headache. "What is going on?"
A palace maid hurriedly came forward and replied. "Empress Dowager, Jiang Daren and the others asked the Emperor to take back the order of moving the capital. They angered the Emperor."
"Jiang Daren." Imperial Concubine Qian walked to the minister who was kneeling in front of her. He was also the oldest minister. He was already a veteran of three dynasties. Even the Qian Family was not willing to offend him. "You all go back first."
"Empress Dowager, you can't move the capital." Jiang Daren was in tears. "Dingdu City is the foundation of the Northern Dark Kingdom. This is the destruction of the Northern Dark Kingdom."
Imperial Concubine Qian closed her eyes. "Jiang Daren, you are too serious."
"Empress Dowager, you know in your heart that once the capital is moved, the consequences will be unimaginable." Jiang Daren said. "We can't persuade the Emperor. Empress Dowager, please persuade the Emperor."
If she could persuade him, she would have done so long ago. She was afraid that her son would not even put her, his mother, in his eyes.
"Jiang Daren, I will try. You are all old. Kneeling here is harmful to your health. Go back first." Imperial Concubine Qian persuaded.
"If the Emperor does not take back the order, we will kneel and not get up." A minister behind said.
Imperial Concubine Qian frowned and said, "You are kneeling here. Aren't you forcing the Emperor to listen to you? The Emperor has just ascended the throne. If you have anything to say, just say it to him. Everyone, don't use such a method to force the Emperor. "
"Empress Dowager, we are not forcing the Emperor. The Emperor is forcing us." Jiang Daren said.
Imperial Concubine Qian looked at them seriously. If it was in the past, she would not care about what these ministers thought. But now, she did not think so. If her son wanted to sit on the throne, he needed the support of these ministers.
"I will persuade the Emperor." Imperial Concubine Qian said in a low voice.
She turned and walked towards the main hall of the Palace of Heavenly Purity. Before she entered, she heard Beitang Xuanyang cursing inside.
