Chapter 1257: Turning the Tide in Despair Chapter 1257: Turning the Tide in Despair Zong Zheng took charge of the situation and continued,” I officially announce that the Fourth Prince, Xia Shijie, is in charge of the country.
Please come up, Your Highness!”
Everyone’s gaze fell on the Fourth Prince.
Xia Shijie had never felt that the world was so beautiful.
The excitement in his heart was indescribable.
At this moment, he had reached the peak of his life!
He tried his best to calm himself down and take a deep breath.
He did not express his thoughts.
His father was still unconscious.
He had to endure it.
After that, he could laugh however he wanted.
At that time, no one could control him.
With his head held high and his chest puffed out, he strode forward.
It was the first time he stood on the imperial platform and looked down at the officials below.
It was as if he was the supreme ruler who controlled the lives of all living beings.
Zong Zheng spoke again, pointing at the dragon throne and bowing slightly.
Everyone had different thoughts.
The eyes of the princes were spitting fire.
Some people simply gave up on pretending.
The Eighth Prince was the representative.
His angry eyes wanted to swallow him up.
All the officials were excited.
Every emperor had his courtiers.
It seemed like the Emperor would not wake up.
He was thinking about how to maximize his own interests or take another step forward.
He Wenxuan was anxious.
He looked at Grand Secretary Cui.
They had been following him all this time, and they had bet everything on Zhang Ronghua.
They had agreed that Zhang Ronghua would turn the tables and win.
Why hadn’t he done anything yet?
Judging from their previous and earlier performance, the Fourth Prince would definitely settle scores with them later.
On the other hand, the former.
It was rare for her to open her eyes and half-squint them, thinking about what was wrong…
The Fourth Prince sat on the dragon throne.
He was excited and could not express it with words.
His dream had finally been fulfilled.
He…
Xia Shijie finally sat on this chair that represented supreme power!
From now on, he was the number one person in Great Xia!
He stretched out his hands and placed them on the dragon head of the throne.
He gently stroked it.
It was clearly very hard, but it was more fascinating and crazy than anything else in the world.
“Your Highness, please give the order!” Zong Zheng continued.
The Fourth Prince gathered his thoughts.
His eyes were sharp and bright.
He pointed his spearhead at the Empress Dowager.” This is the Purple Extreme Hall, where the civil and military officials discuss the state affairs.
Please return to the palace, Empress Dowager, to avoid any false accusations!”
The empress dowager looked over coldly but did not move.
She remained sitting on the chair without moving.
“Where are the Human Emperor’s Guards?” the Fourth Prince shouted.
“Yes, sir!” Xia Shanhe stepped forward.
“Empress Dowager, please return to the palace!”
“Yes!”
Xia Shanhe stepped forward and made a gesture of invitation.
The four Human Emperor Guards glared at her like tigers watching their prey.
If she dared to sit still, they would force her to leave.
If that happened, the Empress Dowager would lose all her face.
The empress dowager couldn’t take the immense pressure anymore.
Clenching her jade-like hands tightly, she stood up from her chair and walked toward the back hall.
However, her speed was very slow, as if she was expressing something!
The Fourth Prince continued, announcing an important appointment.” Zhang Ronghua has been in charge of the reform of the Academy during his tenure as the prefect of Shangjing.
He has promoted the two wines, two elixirs, and one guide.
He has earned a huge amount of silver and fed it back to the people to promote the better development of the capital.
In addition, he has made great contributions to the destruction of the Wu Tribe and the Five Elements Tribe.
His contributions are unprecedented.
I propose to confer him the title of Marquis of Shangjing and promote him to the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites.
He will step down from his position in the army.
The former left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites has other important tasks!”
No one expected the Fourth Prince to direct his anger at Zhang Ronghua.
The former’s contributions seemed to be a promotion and gave him real power, but in reality, he was secretly demoted, especially his position in the army.
Even though the Marquis of Shangjing was the only person in Grand Xia who had the honor of being the Marquis of Shangjing, he had no authority and no land.
He was useless and could be easily defeated.
Facing the gazes of the crowd, Zhang Ronghua walked out of the ranks and stopped three steps away from the imperial platform.
He did not bow like the officials had expected.
He stood still and stared coldly at the Fourth Prince with a straight face.
“???”Everyone was stunned.
What was going on?
Could it be that he dared to defy the imperial edict?
Grand Elder Cui narrowed his eyes and thought, Finally!
Some people already had a bad premonition.
The Grand Tutor thought of the news sent by the Empress yesterday.
Zhang Ronghua might have a trump card in his hands.
Other than that thing, nothing else was enough.
Could it be this?
” Zhang Ronghua!” The Fourth Prince was furious.
His voice was cold.” What do you want, Zhang Ronghua?” Are you going to defy the decree?”
Zhang Ronghua was unmoved.” I am from Xia.
I respect His Majesty’s will, not yours!”
Boom!
A single sentence stirred up thousands of waves.
Everyone could not believe their ears.
These words actually came from the mouth of the Marquis of Nancheng?
They didn’t have time to think.
Zhang Ronghua reached out his palm and patted the Five Dragons Spirit Controlling Belt.
He took out the Human Emperor Token and injected some internal energy into it to activate the Spiritual Treasure of Creation.
Several different spiritual lights mixed with the Light of Creation to form a huge phenomenon.
Then, he mobilized the dragon energy of the Great Xia Dynasty.
“Roar!”
A huge dragon roar suddenly sounded in the hall.
Countless dragon qi gathered together and formed a huge five-clawed golden dragon.
It opened its mouth and roared fiercely.
The supreme dragon’s might, dignity, and royal aura spread out.
