The oldest official suddenly sighed and knelt down.
As soon as he knelt, the last of the Qing Dynasty's backbone knelt down to show their allegiance.
With the last pillar of support succumbing to Gong Dai's tyrannical power, the princes were no longer able to hold their own. They knelt down unwillingly.
Finally, there was no one left standing in the entire hall.
Their kneeling today completely sealed the fate of Dai Yu State. Little Monkey felt that Gong Dai's fighting spirit had diminished, so he lay on his lap and whimpered gloomily.
After a long while, Gong Dai recovered from his violent state and regained his calm. He smiled and asked, "Gong Dai, I want to inherit Gong Dai's throne.
"This prince wants Gong Yuan to succeed the throne. Does anyone have any objections?"
There was no sound in the hall. It was as if the hundreds of kneeling people did not exist.
Gong Dai narrowed his eyes. "You're not willing?"
It was as if a string had suddenly snapped. This implied threat woke everyone up from their daze.
"We second the motion —"
Everyone quickly kowtowed.
"We second the motion —"
Their voices resounded throughout the hall. Finally, the door opened. The twelve doors opened one by one. The cold and solemn air seemed to have been soothed.
They had come back to life!
They did not know why, but when the door opened again and light shone in, they felt as if they had escaped death. Everyone was shocked to find that they had broken out in cold sweat. It turned out that the body was always more sensitive than the mind. Gong Dai really wanted to kill people to vent his anger and wash the imperial court with blood!
The sudden appearance of the light diluted Gong Dai's hostility. He gently patted Little Monkey and said softly.
"Nineteenth Brother is still young. I am the regent. Does anyone have any objections?"
The important officials were all kneeling on the ground. They had been suppressed by Gong Dai to the point that they had no temper. How could they have any objections?
"We second the motion —"
Thus, Gong Dai easily took over the sovereignty. However, this was only a superficial victory. If he really wanted to hold power and centralize the imperial power, it was impossible to do so without bloodshed.
The following month was known as the Bloody Winter Moon.
Some of the nobles were dissatisfied with Gong Dai's tyrannical methods, and they felt that Gong Dai was suppressing them so that he could take back his authority in the future.
Of course, Gong Dai really wanted to do this, so they joined forces to resist.
The First Prince and the Seventh Prince took command and denounced Gong Dai together.
What happened next was very simple. Gong Dai violently used force to suppress the other party.
Originally, everyone's understanding of the Lei Feng stopped at the stage where it could build roads and dig rivers. Although they knew that it was very strong, GongYimo's years of hard work had given them a preconceived notion that the Lei Feng could not be used to kill people.
But why not? For Gong Dai, there was no such thing as impossible.
Everyone thought that Gong Dai wouldn't go against GongYimo's wishes and start a war with the army. However, he did. He directly mobilized a thousand soldiers and destroyed tens of thousands of enemy troops in a battle in the countryside. He caught them off guard!
That kind of overwhelming and destructive power caused the entire Dai Yu State to be shrouded in a haze!
Some people wanted to crack the Lei Feng's composition, but under Gong Dai's control, they were very bold!
All raw materials, even fireworks and firecrackers, were listed as prohibited goods! Some people wanted to buy from overseas, but they didn't expect Gong Dai to have already made arrangements. In the end, they had no choice. The opponents wanted to steal from Gong Dai's subordinates, but they didn't expect the Lei Feng's control to be so strict that it made people's hair stand on end! Moreover, no one dared to betray Gong Dai. Therefore, in less than a month, a huge rebellion was suppressed. The imperial court was washed with blood, and many new faces were replaced. These people were all Gong Dai's loyal followers.
Power was concentrated in Gong Dai's camp, and the title of Grand Regent was well deserved.
But even so, the prince wasn't happy.
On the day of the execution, Gong Dai didn't lead the execution. His two brothers were the main culprits, kneeling below the stage. Behind them were more than a dozen officials, and behind the officials were more than a hundred accomplices.
This was only the first batch. Gong Dai had always understood the principle of cutting the weeds and eliminating the roots. This bloodbath wouldn't stop until a few thousand lives were lost.
The curses and cries were incessant, but after the knife went down, it stopped abruptly.
The entire execution platform seemed to be stained with blood, and the smell of blood and coldness filled the air. There weren't many spectators, and they would probably have nightmares if they saw it.
Gong Dai sat at the side and drank, looking very calm.
Blood splattered everywhere. The scene in front of him was so cruel that even the executioner didn't dare to watch. He secretly glanced at Gong Jue, who was still sitting there with a cold expression. It was as if the scene in front of him was nothing to him.
The executioner couldn't help but calm down. He couldn't lose face in front of the Regent.
Hearing the curses from below, Gong Dai's expression didn't change. If curses were useful, he wouldn't be sitting here.
But …
Gong Dai's heart was suddenly filled with anger!
The little monkey in his arms was instantly enraged, and then it carefully burrowed into the ground …
Recently, this scary person's temper had become more and more unstable, causing it to be treading on thin ice every day, afraid that it would be skinned alive the next second!
Just as it was about to escape, Gong Dai's big hand pressed down and pressed it into his arms!
"Where are you going?"
Gong Dai, who had drunk some wine, had some color on his pale face, but his expression was cold and dangerous, causing the monkey to want to scream!
"Even you want to leave me?"
The monkey widened its eyes and quickly shook its head! It wouldn't dare! Sir, please don't look at me like that, okay? I'm so scared …
Gong Dai didn't seem to see the pleading in its eyes.
"You're not allowed to leave me!"
The little monkey nodded quickly! It would rather die than leave! It swore!
At this moment, the guilty official below the stage heard Gong Dai's words because he was close by. He couldn't help but sneer, "I didn't expect that there's something the Regent can't do!"
He wasn't afraid of anything when he was about to die. When he saw Gong Dai's cold eyes looking at him, he laughed loudly!
"I heard that the Prince hasn't given up looking for GongYimo? It's already been a month! "
He laughed sinisterly and knelt on the ground. His hair was messy, and his eyes were filled with hatred!
"She's long dead! Swallowed by fishes and prawns, not even her bones are left! "
As soon as he finished speaking, a murderous aura came over. His body fell to the side involuntarily. His hands and feet were tied, so he couldn't struggle to get up. He curled up on the ground and cursed!
"GongYimo was innocent and did countless good deeds! Why did she end up like this? It's all because of you! Gong Dai! You're an inauspicious person! You're the one who caused her death, you're the one who cursed her to death! "
Suddenly, his voice disappeared! It was Gong Dai. With a wave of his palm, he broke all the veins in the other party's heart!
The execution ground suddenly fell into a dead silence! Gong Dai sat there with his hands pressed on the table. His eyes were slightly sinister as he stared at the dead man!
