At the beginning, I saved a little mute

Xie Chengjing's eyes were terrifying.

Shizhu shuddered and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Master, I will never mention it again."

After calling Yuzhu to bandage his hand, Xie Chengjing dismissed everyone and sat alone in the study for a long time.

It was not until the second half of the night that he finally made up his mind, changed his clothes and hurried out.

He secretly went to Que Yunsheng's temporary residence in the capital.

"I will never marry a princess. I only have Jiang Zao in my heart. How could I be with someone else? Wouldn't that be a waste of Jiang Zao's love for me?"

Que Yunsheng slammed the table and jumped up.

"Don't get excited. I tell you, as long as you marry the princess, you will have strong support, and it will be no problem for you to be made a marquis or a prime minister in the future."

"Moreover, among the princesses who match your age, only the Fifth Princess is the most suitable. Her mother is the Consort Shu, who is deeply loved by the Emperor. Moreover, the Consort Shu's mother's family is the Left Prime Minister, which will be of great help to your political career."

Xie Chengjing said slowly, "You're not tempted by this?"

"I'm not moved. My achievements are all the result of my own hard work. She is a princess. How can I get along with someone I have never met? Third Prince, please help me."

Que Yunsheng said, "From the beginning to the end, Jiang Zao is the only one in my heart. We agreed that we would get married after her coming-of-age ceremony."

Xie Chengjing looked at him steadily, as if trying to discern the truth from the false.

"From now on, you must never let Jiang Zao down."

No matter how slow Que Yunsheng was, he noticed the difference, but he didn't ask anything. Jiang Zao was older than him, always open and honest, and only had himself in his heart.

He believed in Jiang Zao, just as Jiang Zao believed in him.

The two discussed for a while and finally decided that since this was the case, they might as well settle it once and for all.

That night, they entered the palace at night.

This is a matter of great importance and must be seen to be believed.

The next day, rumors spread that the emperor was seriously ill and unable to attend court.

After a few days, the emperor finally couldn't hold on and passed away.

It was later discovered that Concubine Shun had poisoned the emperor's medicine because she wanted her son to ascend the throne.

As a result, the emperor was unwilling. She argued that she just wanted the emperor to be confused so that she could take the opportunity to write the edict. However, she found out that the emperor had already written the edict.

After his death, the throne was passed to the third prince.

Concubine Shun couldn't believe it, and the ministers didn't want to believe it either, but the Third Prince's methods had become increasingly brutal in recent times.

Concubine Shun was given a cup of poisoned wine, and the Seventh Prince was demoted to a commoner, with no chance of ever ascending the throne in his lifetime.

They also have amazing weapons such as cannons and gunpowder.

The last time we defeated the princelings, these two things shocked everyone.

No one dared to say anything more.

After all, no one wants to be killed by a shell falling from the sky.

Most of the ministers had seen the crater from the shell, which was at the side door of the palace and had not been filled up to this day.

Every time they passed by there, the ministers were terrified.

They were afraid that the Third Prince would be unhappy one day and attack their house, which would wipe out the whole family.

At this point, all the ministers knew that the situation was hopeless. The prince's party had fallen, the old emperor had fallen, and even the seventh prince's party, whose maternal family was powerful, was in danger. The third prince, who had been unknown before, had now grown into a powerful figure.

From then on, no one in the capital could resist.

Then, everyone knelt down, saying that they would follow the old emperor's will and ask the third prince to take charge of the situation.

Xie Chengjing stood in front of everyone, with one hand behind his back and the edict in the other.

He bowed three times to his father's dragon body.

When he stood up again, the look in his eyes had changed.

The world is finally in his hands!
