In the empty hall, Jiang Ningxian sat on the dragon chair again. He knew that today might be the last day, and he would never get a chance to sit on it again.

I touched the handrail engraved with a dragon-shaped pattern, and there was a deep reluctance in my eyes.

Jiang Yan was expressionless and stood quietly below.

Jiang Ningxian said coldly: "How long have you been preparing for this day?" "

After the Zhaowu army attacked Yiling, Erchen began to arrange, but Erchen never made up his mind before. Jiang Yan said.

"And then?"

Li Zhao sent an envoy to ask for peace talks. As a result, you dismissed General Liu from the post of Generalissimo and married the sixth sister to Li Zhao, and the sons were very disappointed. Jiang Yan said bluntly.

"Just because of this, you want to make such a disobedient act?" Jiang Ningxian didn't believe it.

Jiang Yan sighed lightly, his expression was slightly bitter, "In the past, when the world was unified, the imperial capital was usually located in the north; But if one day, the Zhaowu army invades Jinling, where else can the Jiang royal family flee?"

"

Father, you are wrong, you underestimated the threat of the Zhaowu army, and underestimated Li Zhao's greed. Jiang Yan's expression became serious, "In Erchen's opinion, no matter how the imperial court makes concessions, even if it gives up Jinling, it will not be able to fill it."

Jiang Ningxian retorted: "You only think about Li Zhao, have you ever thought about anything else." In the entire Great Qi, more than seventy percent of the generals came from Liu Zhijie's command. If Liu Zhijie rebels, who can control him. I did this for the sake of the Jiang family. "

As the emperor of Great Qi, he is afraid of his own courtiers, doesn't my father think it's ridiculous?" Jiang Yan said politely.

Jiang Ningxian clenched his fists suddenly, annoyed in his heart, and wanted to kill Jiang Yan immediately. However, he had nothing on his hands. Before Zhang Feng left the main hall, he took the long sword in his hand by the way.

Feeling that the time was almost up, Jiang Yan said: "Father, the future affairs will be handed over to the sons." "

Are you going to kill me?" Jiang Ningxian said in fear.

"Erchen will not kill you, he will crown you as the emperor, and you can enjoy your old age in the deep palace. You can rest assured that your sons will never treat you harshly. "

Compared with the princes who rebelled and seized the throne in previous dynasties, Jiang Yan is quite benevolent. He didn't kill Jiang Ningxian, and he didn't plan to kill the other brothers.

Jiang Ningxian's face was pale, he couldn't accept such a fate at all, in his opinion, all the wonderful things in the world were far less than the power in his hands, and Jiang Yan was now going to take them all away, which was even more uncomfortable than killing him.

"It was my father's mistake before, my father was willing to make you the crown prince, and he was also willing to reuse Liu Zhijie. Whether you want to fight Li Zhao or Huainan, your father will fully support you. You and I, father and son, work together to revitalize Daqi. Jiang Ningxian begged bitterly, wept bitterly, and no longer had the majesty of the emperor in the past.

Jiang Yan chuckled and said, "If I am the crown prince, what should I do with the seventh brother Jiang Che?" "

I will kill him immediately, if you are still not at ease, I can also kill Jiang Yu." Jiang Ningxian said without hesitation.

Jiang Yan was stunned, and remembered the sentence in the book: "Ruthless is the emperor's family!" "

Yan'er, you are the most beloved son of your father, whatever you want, your father can give it to you, why make such a fuss." Jiang Ningxian said bitterly.

Seeing that Jiang Yan didn't speak, just looked at him fixedly, Jiang Ningxian became more and more flustered, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he said urgently: "I can make you king, and I am willing to hand over the military power to you." As long as you ............ "

Father!" Jiang Yan suddenly interrupted him and said, "That's enough."

Jiang Ningxian saw that Jiang Yan didn't say anything, and he fell to the ground, his heart like falling into the abyss.

Without imperial power, he would have nothing, and even if he was alive, he would be like a walking corpse, forever without his soul.

...............................................................................................................

In the side hall, some people whispered, some people closed their eyes to recuperate, and some people looked anxious and restless.

There were guards outside, and no one was allowed to leave without permission.

There were a lot of people gathered in front of Zhou Zhaopeng, the head of the household department, but Chen Jin, as the middle secretary, had few around him.

Every change of imperial power will inevitably bring about a reshuffle of the forces of the DPRK and China. As Jiang Yan's uncle, if nothing else, Zhou Zhaopeng will once again be in charge of Zhongshu Province.

After a while, a palace man walked in and passed everyone to the temple.

Everyone looked nervous and slowly entered the Chongzheng Palace, but they didn't see Jiang Ningxian.

Jiang Yan was the only one, sitting on the dragon chair with an expressionless face.

Although he is still dressed as a prince, everyone knows that Jiang Yan's accession to the throne is a foregone conclusion.

Zhou Zhaopeng was just about to salute, Xiao Ye, the imperial historian, Tao Junlin, the right attendant of the Ministry of Works, and others had already knelt on the ground and shouted: "Weichen, meet Your Majesty!"

Jiang Yan nodded slightly, his eyes were deep, and he looked at the other people who were still standing.

The new emperor's eyes revealed a strong coercion, and all the ministers knelt down and saluted.

Jiang Yu's expression was entangled, the chair he thought about day and night was someone else sitting on it, and he was very unwilling.

Sensing that Jiang Yan was looking at him, Jiang Yu was forced to kneel.

Only Chen Jin was alone, still standing, his expression was obviously angry, and said, "May I ask Second Highness, where is Your Majesty? Why are you sitting on it." "

He spent countless efforts for the Seventh Prince Jiang Che. Now that Jiang Yan has ascended the throne, it means that all the previous efforts have been in vain, how can he accept it.

Jiang Yan said lightly: "My father is in poor health and has passed on the throne to me. In the future, you will have the opportunity to meet him. Hearing

that Jiang Ningxian was still alive, everyone breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

Chen Jin was still annoyed, but the overall situation was decided. As the head of the Chen family in Jinling, he could only surrender to Jiang Yan in consideration of the interests of the family.

From top to bottom, no one openly objected.

At this time, the people of the first palace held the edict in their hands and shouted: "Fengtian carries the emperor, the edict says." From now on, the yuan was changed to 'Xiangxing', and Zhou Guifei was named the queen mother, and the first emperor Jiang Ningxian was the emperor. Announce to the world, and make the salty envoy known. All

the ministers and members of the royal family looked solemn and bowed to Jiang Yan.

Some officials of the Ministry of Rites frowned slightly, always feeling that Jiang Yan's claim to be emperor was too simple, he did not wear a dragon robe, and he did not even hold the enthronement ceremony, which obviously did not conform to etiquette.

"I remember, Chang Xuan's youngest son is still in Jinling, right?"

"Your Majesty, this son has been imprisoned. "Wang Zhuo, the secretary of the military department, said.

Everyone didn't know what the emperor was going to do, whether he was going to let him go.

Jiang Yan said coldly: "Chop off his head and send it to Chang Xuan!"
