Imperial Demon Slayer Division

After King Taishan read the booklet in his hand, his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. He gritted his teeth and looked at the second prince and the three of them.

"Okay, okay, you are worthy of being the dragon sons of Great Qin. You three are really good!"

"Come here! Capture Qin Ming, Qin Xiao, and Qin Gu! Hand them over to the Clan Mansion for detailed investigation!"

When Qin Ming and others heard what King Taishan said, they sat down on the ground weakly.

"It's over, it's all over"

The Zongren Mansion is the institution responsible for trying members of the royal family. Since members of the royal family have a distinguished status, ordinary yamen have no right to deal with them. Therefore, any member of the royal family who violates the law must be handed over to the Zongren Mansion for processing.

Jackdaw, the commander of the forbidden army outside the palace, heard what King Taishan said and quickly rushed in with the forbidden army and controlled Qin and Ming.

Qin Ming glared at the expressionless Zhang Xiao and said in a cold voice.

"Zhang Xiao, I have treated you well, and even promised you a high official and a generous salary. Why did you betray me?"

Zhang Xiao glanced at Qin Ming lightly and said

"I have never surrendered to His Highness from the beginning to the end, how can I talk about betrayal?"

"What's more, I am the minister of the Ministry of Personnel, a senior official in the Ministry of Personnel, in charge of the selection and assessment of civil servants all over the world. How can I turn a blind eye to your buying and selling of official positions, corruption and perversion of the law?"

Qin Ming was so angry that Zhang Xiao laughed out loud.

"Okay, okay, there is one who has never submitted to me, and one who has turned a blind eye. It's all because I am too careless. I have never doubted you."

After Qin Ming finished speaking, he looked at Qin Jing again and said

"Ninth brother, your life is so good. You don't have to do anything. Your teacher will arrange everything for you. All you have to do is wait to sit on the throne. I envy you."

Qin Ming's words implicitly revealed that Gu Yan was secretly manipulating the ministers to control the candidate of the next emperor. He, Qin Jing, was just a pawn pushed by Gu Yan.

His words were like putting Gu Yan directly on the fire.

Gu Yan looked at Qin Ming, smiled slightly, and said

"Second Prince, I didn't do anything. It was Master Zhang and others who couldn't stand the dirty things you did secretly, so they took the initiative to report it. What does this officer have to do with you?"

"And King Taishan also said that what the Qin Dynasty needs now is a virtuous king who loves the people like a son, and the Ninth Prince Qin Jing is smart, gentle, elegant, kind and upright, and is the most suitable to be the Qin Emperor."

Qin Ming laughed loudly after hearing this.

"Master Gu, history books are written by the victors. You can say whatever you want if you win."

King Taishan frowned and waved his hand. Upon seeing this, Jackdaw immediately gave a soft drink.

"take away!"

After the imperial army took the three princes away, Gu Yan turned his attention to the fifth prince and others.

The four princes felt their hearts tightening when they felt Gu Yan standing there and watching them quietly, as if waiting for them to speak.

How could they not understand Gu Yan's look? He clearly had the evidence of the four people and was waiting for them to withdraw from the fight.

In order to avoid letting him take action, the four of them will be captured into the clan mansion when the time comes. Then the Ninth Prince will be given the title of a loner, and the people will feel that Qin Jing is a cruel emperor who killed all his brothers for the throne. Sent to clan mansion

The face of the fifth prince gradually showed a look of struggle. It was not until a while later that he seemed to have made up his mind. He gritted his teeth and said

"The ninth brother is the most holy and wise. After he ascends the throne, he will work hard to govern, be frugal and love the people. He will definitely be a saint king in the future."

After the fifth prince finished speaking, he stumbled out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony as if he had lost his soul.

When the three sixth princes saw the fifth prince voluntarily giving up the fight for the throne, a look of struggle appeared on their faces. After a short psychological struggle, they said separately

"Ninth brother, brother quits"

"Ninth brother, you will be the new emperor of Qin from now on."

"You win, Ninth Brother"

After the three of them finished speaking, they strode directly out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

After the princes left, the officials in the hall had different expressions. Some were horrified, some were happy, but most of them were covered in cold sweat.

Without exception, these people with cold sweat on their heads are all ministers who support the second, third and fourth princes.

Now they finally understood why Emperor Qin valued the Ninth Prince so much but did not make him the crown prince in advance. He was waiting for them here.

The Demon Slayer Division and the princes of Great Qin do not interfere in the struggle for the throne. Behind the ninth prince is Gu Yan, the Zhenzhou official. There is no prince who can compete with him.

And just when these people stood up to support the Second Prince and others, the Ninth Prince also kept them in his heart. If he wanted to settle the matter in the future, he would have a reason to speak out.

Emperor Qin is so cunning and scheming that he has even arranged everything for the Ninth Prince after he ascends the throne.

At this time, King Taishan coughed slightly and said

"Since three of the eight princes have gone to the clan mansion and four have given up the fight for the throne, then the new Qin Emperor will be the ninth prince."

After King Taishan finished speaking, all the ministers in the hall immediately knelt down and bowed to the Ninth Prince.

"Wei Chen has met His Majesty"

Facing this sudden gift, the Ninth Prince looked a little flustered.

Although he has a great temperament, he is too young after all. Even the most dangerous battle for the throne was passed smoothly under Gu Yan's arrangement, so he subconsciously looked at the person behind him.

After seeing Gu Yan's slight nod, the Ninth Prince calmed down and said to the ministers

"All ministers are equal"

King Taishan looked at Qu Yuan, Minister of Rites, and said

"Lord Qu, the new emperor's enthronement ceremony will be held in three days. The Ministry of Rites will quickly prepare all the things needed for the enthronement ceremony. Do you understand?"

Qu Yuan, Minister of Rites, took a step forward and cupped his fists.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Rites is already busy making the ritual utensils and other items needed for the new emperor to ascend the throne. They will be completed tomorrow."

When King Taishan heard this, he showed a satisfied look on his face. As expected of a dignified minister, he had foresight and started preparing the ritual vessels early.

"Okay, now that the new emperor has been finalized, all ministers should leave."

"Your Majesty, please leave!"

After all the ministers left, the Ninth Prince walked up to Gu Yan, bowed and said

"Thank you teacher for paving the way for Jing'er"

Gu Yan smiled slightly and said

"Your Highness, no, your Majesty does not need to be polite. I have promised the late emperor to help you ascend to the throne. What's more, the world today really needs an emperor like you."

Qin Jing shook his head gently and said

"No matter what, I still have to thank the teacher. If it weren't for the teacher, Jing'er wouldn't be able to sit on the throne at all. I'm afraid it won't be long before she is killed by one of the emperor's brothers."

"After Jing'er officially ascends the throne, he will confer the title of King of the Qin Dynasty to repay the teacher's kindness."

Although Qin Jing is immature, he sees some things more clearly. No matter who comes to power, he, the most beloved prince of the late emperor, will not be allowed to survive in the world.

Gu Yan is still very satisfied with Qin Jing's kindness. It is better to support someone who appreciates kindness than to help a white-eyed wolf.

King Taishan next to him twitched slightly when he heard that Qin Jing had promised to be the king in front of him without any scruples.

Although Gu Yan's decision to be crowned king has long been decided, we can't have such an open and honest discussion in front of him, the prince.

King Taishan was also quite speechless about this.
