Chapter 1658: The Shang Emperor Appoints an Empress!
Bang!
With a sudden slap, the table shook and the teacup fell to the ground.
With a crisp sound, it shattered into pieces.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall became even more oppressive.
One could even hear a pin drop on the ground.
…
The officials did not dare to breathe loudly, thinking that there was really someone who betrayed the country.
Some smart people were not in a hurry to come to a conclusion.
They continued to watch.
“Hand it over!” The Shang Emperor stretched out his right hand.
Eunuch Shang took out a pile of documents from his Sumeru Bag and placed them on the imperial table.
The Shang Emperor took a book and flipped it open.
It recorded the evidence of Li Xuelong’s crimes.
He looked over coldly and smashed the document in his face.
He shouted angrily,” I have treated you well.
Why did you do this?”
Li Xuelong was stunned.
Colluding with that person from Heavenspan Mountain?
He bent down to pick up the document.
On it was written that he was his man, a high-level spy placed in the Shang Dynasty.
Slander!
It was definitely slander!
Gazing at the Ninth Princess standing beside the Emperor, he instantly understood that he was the First Prince’s subordinate.
If Shang Qingxuan wanted to ascend to the throne and secure her position as the Crown Prince, the Emperor would have to start with the Princes.
They would be the first to bear the brunt of the attack, and their power would be within the scope of elimination.
Colluding with that Heavenspan Mountain’s utmost powerful being was merely shifting the blame, making a false accusation to make the killing a little more justified.
This way, even if news spread out, it would not stir up a civil revolt.
What a good move to kill two birds with one stone, what a ruthless heart!
There was no rebuttal.
The outcome was already decided.
Confessing honestly might be able to preserve the safety of the clansmen and preserve some of the Li Clan’s descendants.
Otherwise, it would be equivalent to killing three or even nine clans!
He immediately knelt on the ground and pressed his head against the ground.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
What was going on?
Could it be that Li Xuelong was really that person from the Heavenspan Mountain?
The Shang Emperor was satisfied.
At this point, he could not afford to retreat or show any mercy.
The direct descendants of the Li family had to die, and the side branches could be spared.
Then, the others threw down the documents one by one.
Not everyone was as smart as Li Xuelong, who used his last bit of value to the extreme and retorted on the spot, accusing him of slander.
The Shang Emperor wasn’t surprised.
He pointed at the ” hard evidence ” and ordered the Emperor Guards to drag him out and execute him.
An hour later.
The forces of the princes in the royal court, including those from the four departments and the academies, were all dealt with one by one.
Many people died, and it was not an exaggeration to say that blood flowed like a river.
At this point, if the officials were unable to react in time, their heads would really be kicked by a donkey.
It was all non-existent, paving the way for the Ninth Princess to ascend to the throne, sweeping away all obstacles with an iron fist, and then intimidating the remaining people.
At this moment, if someone else jumped out, one could guess with their feet that they were definitely the people of that person at the Heavenspan Mountain.
From the Heaven Appraisal Pavilion to the ordinary officials, all of them were submissive and afraid of being killed.
The Shang Emperor waved his hand, allowing Eunuch Shang to announce the transfer of officials.
The latter took a step forward and took out the imperial edict he had prepared.
This time, the blade was aimed at the various states and counties under the Shang Dynasty.
As long as it was the people of the princes, they would either be frozen or taken down in front of ‘irrefutable testimonies’.
This time, he did not use that person from Heavenspan Mountain.
He had already used it once.
Did he really think the people of the world were fools to use it again?
It was all the evidence that the Primordial Demon God had found during this period of time, so the sentence was heavier!
The vacant seats were divided among the officials controlled by the Imperial Family, Grand Tutor, Shang Jin Yu, and Crane Dragon City.
The Imperial Family occupied half of the seats, and the remaining half was divided equally among the three sects.
The truth was getting clearer and clearer.
His Majesty had joined forces with them to attack the princes.
This way, the Shang Dynasty would not be in chaos.
The Heavenly Mirror Pavilion felt very cold.
As a pavilion elder, he was excluded from such an important matter.
He didn’t even know about it beforehand.
If there was a next time, wouldn’t it be his turn?
At this moment, they all felt the danger.
They secretly decided that they absolutely could not be as passive as they were now!
The preparations were almost done.
It was time to reveal the truth.
The Shang Emperor’s cold gaze fell on the princes.” Kneel!” he shouted.
One by one, they all knelt on the ground.
“I really didn’t think that as an elder, I wouldn’t even let my own nephew off and secretly sent someone to kill him!” The Shang Emperor said coldly.
Other than the Third Prince, the other princes were all panicking.
” Throw them into the Imperial Clan Court and imprison them for life,” the Shang Emperor said.” Without my decree, no one is allowed to step out of the palace.
Those who violate will be killed!”
“Imperial Father is wise.
This has nothing to do with your son!”
The Shang Emperor waved his hand, and Shang Jin Tian ordered the Emperor Guards to arrest them all.
Only the Third Prince, Shang Qing Mian, remained.
He was the father of the deceased imperial grandson, Shang Chang He.
“The matter of Changhe ends here.
From now on, you will stay in the residence.
Your food and clothing will be doubled.”
The Third Prince knew that his father had grounded him for the sake of Chang He’s death and not banished him to the Imperial Clan Court.
It was the best result, so he had no objections.
His ability was indeed not as good as his ninth sister.
If Chang He was still around, he could fight for it.
It was rare to have a leisurely life now.” Thank you, father!”
“Go!”
The Third Prince stood up from the ground, bowed, and left.
The main event was about to begin.
“Does Minister Zhu still have something to report?”The Shang Emperor pretended.
Zong Zheng stood up and bowed.
He said in a deep voice,” Your Majesty, a family cannot be without a master for a day, and a country cannot be without a ruler for a day.
The position of Crown Prince has been vacant for many years and has not been decided yet.
It is not beneficial to the country.
I suggest that the Crown Prince be decided.”
The Shang Emperor pretended to think and nodded.” That makes sense.
In your opinion, who can take on this important task?”
He cursed in his heart.
The princes were all crippled by you, and you still have the ninth princess by your side.
You don’t even want a single jade lotus!
