Zhao Mu walked up the jade steps step by step and sat on the dragon throne amidst the shouts of long live.
Look down.
Everyone was kneeling on the ground, including Eunuch Yi, Eunuch Yuan, Tang Mingyuan and other outstanding figures. Zhao Mu couldn't help but feel a bit heroic.
"Everyone loves you!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhou Yi stood at the left position, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Empress Dowager was bewitched by the Sanyang demon and possessed by ghosts. This slave has newly learned the method of exorcising ghosts. I am willing to exorcise Empress Dowager!"
Zhao Mu's eyes lit up, this is a wonderful statement.
No matter how Empress Dowager causes trouble in the harem, she is also Zhao Mu's biological mother. If she kills her seriously, it will become a lifelong stain.
On the pretext of being possessed by a ghost, an accident occurred during the exorcism, and it was Three Yang Sect who killed Empress Dowager.
"Eunuch Zhou, go quickly and save your mother!"
"According to the order."
Zhou Yi waved his hand and led Eunuch Bureau master to kill Palace of Earthly Tranquility.
Eunuch Yuan then came out and said, "Your Majesty, I will go and guard the palace gate right now to prevent anyone from jumping over the wall."
"Very good."
Zhao Mu said solemnly, "I give you the right to make a decision on the spot. You can kill first and then report. There are artillery trained by Mr. Tang outside the palace gate, and they are all under the command of Eunuch Yuan."
Eunuch Yuan took the order and left.
Zhao Mu With a smile on his face, one is cleaning up internal troubles, and the other is resisting foreign enemies. As expected, the most useful and loyal one is the internal servant.
The rest have families and businesses, care about their reputation after death, and cannot support the emperor unconditionally.
Only the chamberlain is completely dependent on the imperial power and is willing to do any bad or dirty things. He only has a small hobby of being greedy for money.
Zhao Mu Thinking of this, he also ordered several servants to take care of things.
Or ring the palace bell to announce Emperor Longqing's death and summon officials to come to Hall of Mental Cultivation to do business. Or go to the military camp with the imperial edict, and first cut off King Who Pacifies the West military power for the sake of justice.
Or Court of the Imperial Clan could be summoned to invite Mr. Zhao to enter the palace and support Zhao Mu's ascension to the throne.
One by one, piece by piece, proceed in an orderly manner.
Tang Mingyuan stood on the left, frowning slightly. He had long noticed that Zhao Mu had shown signs of being close to the servant, and now he trusted Zhao Mu more and more.
"Mr. Tang, are you worried?"
Zhao Mu said with concern, "Sir, you are my arm, as close as a brother. If you have anything to say, just say it and I will agree to it."
Tang Mingyuan quickly calmed down. He was no match for Eunuch Yuan, let alone Director Zhou. He pondered for a moment and said.
"Your Majesty, the tax system reformed by the late emperor has benefited the country and the people, and it should be restored."
Zhao Mu hesitated. "This tax system will hinder Aristocratic Clan and all officials. If it is reinstated hastily, will it cause turmoil in the country?"
Tang Mingyuan sighed from the bottom of his heart. Sure enough, he sat on the dragon throne. He didn't care about right or wrong, he only cared about whether the seat was stable or not.
Fortunately, Tang Mingyuan is not a pedantic person, he said in a change of voice.
"His Majesty is the eldest son of the late emperor. He overthrew the false emperor under the banner of rectifying the original source. It is even more important to restore the legal system of the late emperor to demonstrate the integrity of your majesty's accession to the throne!"
"It makes sense."
Zhao Mu nodded and said, "This matter will be handed over to Mr. Tang for implementation. He will be temporarily appointed...Censor-in-chief, who will also serve as a cabinet minister. Son of Heaven Sword!"
Tang Mingyuan bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhao Mu smacked his lips. Eunuch Yi and Eunuch Yuan all knelt down to thank them. In comparison, they bowed down and looked a bit undignified, and then gave orders.
"If there are officials who violate the law, they can be arrested by the Surveillance Bureau. When my father implemented the new system, Surveillance Bureau contributed a lot. I should follow the old system."
"My lord, I obey!"
Tang Mingyuan felt a little cold in his heart, and with a single word, Son of Heaven Sword lost most of its purpose.
Is this the emperor?
Thunder and rain, joy and anger follow one's heart.
Tang Mingyuan suddenly regretted that he should not have jumped into the power field, hiding in Jiangning and becoming a son-in-law with no worries about food and drink, which might have been more carefree and joyful.
Saving the country and the people, and peace for all eternity, have nothing to do with themselves, they are more like shackles imposed on themselves.
Tang Mingyuan sighed helplessly. There was no turning back at this time. If he dared to leave with the seal, he would hang it on his head tomorrow.
"Zhengtong, Longqing, and the Daqing royal family are two generations of outstanding people. Due to a combination of circumstances, they did not last long. Zhao Mu ascended the throne. I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse."
Palace of Earthly Tranquility.
One after another came at high speed, led by none other than Zhou Yi.
There were hundreds of servants kneeling outside the palace gate. When they saw the figure of Zhou Yi, they turned pale with fright and knelt down and kowtowed.
Zhou Yi asked, "What about Wicked Empress?"
The servants did not dare to respond and cowered for fear of falling into the Governor's eyes.
Zhou Yi waved his hand, grabbed an unlucky guy at random, and pinched the waiter's neck. "Didn't you hear our question?"
"Report to the Governor, Tai...Wicked Empress escaped."
The chamberlain's face turned red and he begged for mercy, "Governor, spare my life. I have tried my best..."
Gaba!
Zhou Yi pinched the servant's neck and said quietly, "We ask you to stop Wicked Empress first. Even if you die, you have to stop him. Otherwise, you are not trying your best."
"Duke, please spare my life."
The begging for mercy continued, and the servants already regretted that they had just died at the hands of Empress Dowager, and the clansmen could still join Surveillance Bureau on duty.
The death of the governor will bring no peace to the nine tribes!
"According to our family's rules, we will kill them all and fill up the well."
Zhou Yi said in a cold voice, "On the happy day of His Majesty's accession to the throne, I will spare your life, but I just have to do something for our family."
All the servants narrowly escaped death and were filled with gratitude to Zhou Yi.
"The Governor ordered."
"Hunt for the Three Yang Sect!"
Zhou Yi said, "Everyone related to the Three Yang Sect will be thrown into the Eastern Depot dungeon. Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy."
"Interrogate the Sanyang demon and collect all the techniques and classics."
Zhou Yi speculates that Old Lu has become a ghost and has seen his true face. His talent for immortality has been exposed and he must find a way to kill the ghost.
At that time, Old Lu hinted to be careful with Empress. It was very likely that he was related to the Three Yang Sect in private, and he might be able to find countermeasures from it.
The hasty support for Zhao Mu's ascension to the throne was superficially for power, but in reality it was to regain control of Eastern Depot and facilitate the killing of the Three Yang Sect.
"Do your best and obey fate! There is really nothing you can do Old Lu. If we hide in the mountains, there is nothing anyone can do."
Zhou Yi has prepared for the worst and will run away immediately once his longevity is exposed.
While thinking.
There was a sound of footsteps, and Eunuch Yuan came with his servant, speaking in a neither yin nor yang voice.
"Eunuch Yi didn't go on a killing spree. Did the sun come out from the west?"
"Eunuch Yuan, no matter what happens to you in the future..."
Zhou Yi clenched his palms, and the air crackled. "It will be easy for us to beat you to death now!"
Eunuch Yuan was not afraid at all, and said quietly, "Kill our family to death and dominate the palace?"
The emperor must have a balance. If Eunuch Yuan dies, there will be no other servants to restrain Zhou Yi. It won't be long before the army surrounds and kills the "treacherous eunuch".
"Let's go."
Zhou Yi certainly knows balance and does not want to cause trouble, so he leaves with his servants.
Eunuch Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. He was betting that Eunuch Zhou knew the general situation and took the overall situation into consideration, so he said to the old eunuch who was following him.
"My family went to inspect the palace gate, watching Eunuch Su eat and drink. When will he eat and drink until he dies, and when will it be over? Otherwise, our family will kill him from the nine tribes!"
The old eunuch asked, "If he really dies, will he still kill the nine tribes?"
Eunuch Yuan raised his eyebrows and glanced at the old eunuch.
"You are also an old man in the palace, why are you so ignorant of the rules? The family must be neat and tidy!"
