Emperor: When will the Seventh Prince rebel? I will open the city gates to welcome him.

"No! No! Father! Why did you make me the crown prince? Why didn't you pass the throne to me?"

"No! You are not a good emperor! You are not a good father either. Even if you die, you will be ashamed of the late emperor and ancestors! He! He, the King of Zhenbei, wants to reform the bureaucracy, but you, the emperor, let him do whatever he wants! You, Hongjing, are a sinner."

Emperor Dingwen was so angry that he slapped the dragon throne and shouted:

"Rebellious son! Evil son!"

"Give me the stick! Give me the slap! Plug his mouth shut!"

Hongjing could not bring himself to punish his son by beating him to death or slapping him in the face. The emperor's words were law, especially in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The three Qilin Guards standing next to Crown Prince Hongze looked towards Zhenbei King Hongxuan.

Hongxuan nodded

"I humbly obey my orders!"

Three Qilin Guards grabbed Hongze's head, pried his mouth open, and stuffed it with sackcloth.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"

Prince Hongze, whose hands, feet and mouth were bound, made a whimpering sound.

Queen Zhu was like a phoenix falling into water at this time.

She has nothing now.

"Empress Zhu! You are the queen, yet you actually did such a thing. If it weren't for the King of Zhenbei, I would have died in your hands."

"Before I give you the White Silk, do you have anything else to say to me?"

After Empress Zhu heard what Emperor Dingwen said.

His face was as pale as paper.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! I beg Your Majesty to spare my life! I will never dare to do it again. Please spare me for the sake of bearing dragon seeds for the royal family!"

"I am willing to be banished to the cold palace! I beg Your Majesty not to kill me!"

Emperor Dingwen was about to speak with murderous intent, he didn't want to let a vicious woman like Queen Zhu live.

Zhenbei Wang Hongxuan spoke first:

"Father! Queen Zhu cannot die yet! Banish her to the cold palace first."

"I need to interrogate her about the origin of this poison pill and the puppet doll."

Hongxuan wants to understand the cultivation system of this world.

Emperor Dingwen nodded.

"Imprison Empress Zhu into the confinement palace! Send the Royal Guards to guard it. No one is allowed to approach without my order."

The Qilin Guards took orders and took Queen Zhu away.

The culprits, the Crown Prince and Queen Zhu, have been taken away.

To the surprise of the ministers,

Even though Crown Prince Hongze and Queen Zhu committed heinous crimes.

He was still not executed, but was only temporarily imprisoned.

All the officials in the Hall of Supreme Harmony knew that no one could stop Prince Hongxuan of Zhenbei from becoming the emperor of Dafeng State.

Emperor Dingwen Hongjing looked at King Zhenbei and said:

"Xuan'er! I want to pass the throne to you."

"Choose an auspicious date to hold the coronation ceremony!"

After Crown Prince Hongze and Queen Zhu were taken away, the Qilin Guards of the Hall of Supreme Harmony stood guard on both sides of the hall, and order was restored in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Civil and military officials each stood in their respective positions.

No matter what King Hongxuan of Zhenbei wants, how to change the bureaucratic system of Dafeng Kingdom.

These officials are ready and are all ears.

King Hongxuan of Zhenbei walked down the platform, came to the center of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and saluted Emperor Hongjing of Dingwen.

"Father! It's not that I don't want to be the emperor!"

Emperor Dingwen Hongjing was stunned. His son did not want to be emperor, but Emperor Dingwen knew his own condition.

He wanted to give up the throne and become the emperor emeritus of Dafeng Kingdom.

The Dafeng Kingdom was under the leadership of Hongxuan.

It will definitely prosper, and Emperor Dingwen Hongjing will definitely not be wrong about this.

"Hongxuan! Why don't you become the emperor of Dafeng Kingdom?"

Hong Xuan said respectfully to Emperor Ding Wen:

"Father! If Dafeng is in a peaceful and prosperous era, I will gladly accept your throne."

"However! Beishang Kingdom is eyeing Dafeng covetously. There is still a large part of the land in the southern border that needs to be conquered, and there are several countries in the northeastern border that do not accept the discipline of Dafeng Kingdom."

"Under such circumstances, how can I be at ease as the emperor?"

"The Dafeng Kingdom must eliminate these hidden dangers before it can truly usher in a prosperous era!"

"If so! The dynasties surrounding Dafeng are eyeing Dafeng covetously. How can Dafeng be prosperous?"

"What's the difference between this and the flower in the mirror or the moon in the water?"

As soon as Zhenbei Wang Hongxuan said this.

All the civil and military officials in the court were shocked.

Before, everyone thought that the Prince of Zhenbei must want to be the emperor. He did so much, including deposing the crown prince and Queen Zhu, all for the purpose of becoming the emperor.

If he hadn't planned to be emperor,

Why did he do all this?

It was not until the King of Zhenbei said this that all the officials finally believed that the King of Zhenbei was not interested in the throne at all!

His mind is on the whole world!

Dafeng Kingdom is only a part of this world.

What the King of Zhenbei wants is that all the land under heaven belongs to him and all the people in the world are his subjects.

Only in this way can we create a prosperous dynasty for the Dafeng Kingdom.

Destroy all the countries that are eyeing the Dafeng Kingdom.

Destroy these surrounding countries and incorporate them into the territory of Dafeng Kingdom.

Who else can achieve such an ideal except King Zhenbei?

Emperor Dingwen understood after hearing what Zhenbei King Hongxuan said.

Zhenbei Wang Hongxuan will not stay in the capital.

He will still return to Beiyan to completely resolve the hidden danger of Beishang Kingdom!

"But if it is Xuan'er! If you don't become the emperor, who will be the emperor? I am already exhausted physically and mentally and need to rest. I don't want to deal with government affairs anymore."

King Zhenbei said respectfully to Emperor Dingwen:

"Father! I think that the eldest prince Hongli is gentle and honest, with a kind heart. He is truly the best among all the princes.

Every word and action demonstrates kindness and tolerance, and he treats everyone with compassion.

Such a character,

It is exactly the quality that an emperor needs.

Hong Li has extraordinary affinity, which can make his subjects follow him wholeheartedly.

His inner kindness and gentleness will lead Dafeng to prosperity.

Hongli is undoubtedly the most suitable person to ascend the throne!"

After hearing this, the ministers in the court were stunned, and then showed ecstasy.

Prince Hongxuan of Zhenbei voluntarily gave up the throne to the eldest prince Hongli.

All the ministers did not want to face Zhenbei King Hongxuan.

The power of Zhenbei King Hongxuan is too great. Serving the king is like serving a tiger. All the officials serve him in fear and trepidation.

But Hongli is different.

Hongli doesn't even have a bit of prestige in front of them. If Hongli becomes the emperor, then these officials will have the final say in the court.

Prime Minister Situ Yuan said respectfully to Emperor Dingwen Hongjing:

"Your Majesty, please abdicate the throne! What the King of Zhenbei said is indeed true! The eldest prince Hongli is the most suitable candidate for the emperor!"

"I second the proposal!"

"I also second the proposal!"

Inside the hall, almost all officials agreed that Hong Li should be the emperor of Dafeng Kingdom.

Hong Li always felt that he was an invisible person, and suddenly someone mentioned him.

"This prince! This!"

When Hong Li was about to say something, Hong Xuan's majestic voice sounded:

"Hongli, you don't need to express any opinions, just be a good emperor!"

When Hong Li heard what Zhenbei King Hong Xuan said, he could only respond tremblingly:

"Yes! I will follow the orders of King Zhenbei!"

His life was saved by Hongxuan from the Yunzhou rebels.

What qualifications does he have to express a different opinion? None at all!

After Emperor Dingwen Hongjing saw the timid eldest prince Hongli, he understood.

He understands everything!

Hongxuan wants to control the entire court through the puppet emperor Hongli.

Hong Jing thought:

"The King of Zhenbei is indeed a hundred times or a thousand times more powerful than I was back then. If I had met a figure like King of Zhenbei Hongxuan when I was the crown prince, I would have been completely beaten by him!"

At this time, all the officials in the court understood Hong Li's attitude towards Zhenbei King Hong Xuan completely.

The King of Zhenbei not only had to control the entire army of Dafeng Kingdom, but also had to completely control the court of Dafeng Kingdom.

Zhenbei Wang Hongxuan did this.

This is enough to show that he will never give up the military power in his hands.

The throne of emperor was just an object that he could control, which was not as important as the military power in his hands.

The officials in the imperial court had a bad feeling that the King of Zhenbei would definitely make drastic reforms to the bureaucratic system, even beyond their imagination.
