As soon as the door of the imperial study opened, more than a dozen important officials of the court were seen standing outside.

Standing behind the minister were several hundred Fu Hu soldiers with dozens of wild wolves.

The Fu Hu Army has quickly taken control of the entire palace.

I saw that the ministers had different expressions on their faces.

Obviously, they all heard the previous conversation between Qin Mu and the emperor.

They also knew that the original emperor of Daliang should be Prince Jing Qin Mu.

The current emperor killed his father to seize the throne, and has occupied the throne of Daliang for more than ten years.

Prince Jing came back and personally dealt with the current emperor, intending to take back the throne.

Just as the court officials were in shock, Qin Mu came out holding Fang Ling's hand.

"Since everyone already knows that the late emperor originally wanted to pass the throne of Daliang to me.

Then it should be okay for me to be the emperor of Daliang again, right?"

His tone was calm, but unquestionable.

After hearing this, the ministers looked at each other and then fell to their knees.

"Your Majesty, the mandate of heaven has been given to you. We, your subjects, are willing to submit to you."

Qin Mu heard this and raised his hand and said:

“This king does not need Qin Jingyan’s abdication decree.

He obtained the throne by killing his father, which was not legitimate.

This king is here to take back what belongs to me, and I don’t need his consent.”

Once this was said, the ministers had no reason to refute.

Besides, sometimes the truth doesn't matter.

What is often more important is strength.

When you have strength, people will listen to you and you will be able to do things more smoothly.

If you don't have the strength, no matter how reasonable your idea is, sometimes you will still find it difficult to make any progress.

Everyone can see the strength of King Jing Qin Mu.

Prince Jing was not only able to snatch the throne back from Qin Jingyan.

Moreover, if he becomes the emperor of Daliang, there is a high probability that he can make Daliang's national strength even more prosperous.

Foreign nations did not dare to invade easily.

When we see that in less than a year since Qin Mu went to his fiefdom Yunzhou, he has improved the people's livelihood in Yunzhou by more than one level, we know that Qin Mu's ability to govern the country is extremely strong.

It is a blessing for Daliang if Qin Mu becomes the emperor.

The ministers thought about this and simply shouted,

"Long live your Majesty."

Qin Mu did not refuse, raised his hand and said slowly:

"Everyone loves you."

He returned to Beijing to regain the throne.

The throne of Daliang originally belonged to him.

My father even paid the price of his life in order to pass the throne to me.

Now that he has it back, he no longer has to be shy and pretend to be reserved.

Afterwards, he would use his strength to convince all the ministers and make them sincerely worship him as emperor.

At this moment, it is enough for the ministers to agree to his ascension to the throne.

As for the reason behind it, whether it is out of fear of him or out of true submission, it doesn’t matter much.

Because, in the end, strength will be the key.

Just like that, a palace coup ended.

It is a foregone conclusion that Qin Mu will ascend to the throne.

Qin Mu asked the ministers to return to their homes first.

Then he arranged for people to prepare Qin Jingyan's funeral.

Although, Qin Jingyan deserves to die.

But after all, he had been on the throne for more than ten years and was already recognized as the emperor by the people of Daliang.

Therefore, Qin Mu still planned to arrange his funeral according to the emperor's funeral standards.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it was announced to the outside world that Emperor Qin Jingyan died suddenly of an acute illness.

Before his death, he issued an oral order to pass the throne to King Jing Qin Mu.

The people of Daliang were very surprised when they heard the news of the emperor's death.

The emperor died suddenly, but he did not pass the throne to his son, but to Prince Jing Qin Mu.

Such a result cannot help but cause the people to have many doubts.

For a time, people were talking about it a lot.

"How did the emperor die?

Logically speaking, there are so many highly skilled doctors in the palace, it is impossible for the emperor to die suddenly from a serious illness, right?

The emperor's cause of death is truly intriguing."

A few scholars gathered together in the teahouse and talked in low voices.

"is not that right?

Moreover, the emperor passed the throne to Prince Jing instead of his own prince, which was very abnormal.

Maybe the emperor was killed by Prince Jing."

Someone responded indignantly.

"Keep your voice down, are you trying to kill yourself?

You know, Prince Jing will soon ascend the throne as the new emperor.

At that time, the first step will be to eliminate dissidents.

Be careful what you say, or you may get into trouble."

“Alas, things are really going to change in Daliang.

Perhaps, before long even the two princes, Prince An and Prince Hui, will be eliminated by Prince Jing."

"No way, Prince An is engaged to Princess Jing's cousin.

Prince Jing would not touch Prince An even for the sake of the princess.

Besides, King Hui was not even six years old. What threat could he pose to King Jing?

I don’t think King Jing will take action against them.”

There was constant discussion among the people.

At this time, Fang Ling was sitting in a private room in the teahouse, drinking honey water, while Qin Mu was leisurely drinking tea, and the two were listening to the discussions outside.

Fang Ling drank some honey water, put down the cup and looked at Qin Mu.

"If we had asked Qin Jingyan to write a letter of abdication and announced in front of all the civil and military officials that the throne would be passed to you, there wouldn't be these unbearable discussions.

Now, the people will probably think that you are someone who will do anything to get the throne."

Qin Mu heard this and shook his head indifferently.

"It doesn't matter.

It's just a little rumor, nothing serious.

As a human being, it is impossible not to be gossiped about behind your back.

What’s more, he is in a high position?

The people do not understand the inside story, and expressing their own speculations will not affect the overall situation.

As for Qin Jingyan, he poisoned my father, so I will seek revenge on him clearly.

A life for a life is fair.

I don't want to be controlled by him again because of the throne, or negotiate with him.

That is disrespectful to the Emperor."

Fang Ling nodded,

“Well, I understand how you feel.

Next, I will also assist you to do some things for Daliang as soon as possible.

When the people feel that their lives have improved after you become the emperor, these current rumors will change.

By then, the people will not discuss whether your throne is legitimate, but will lament that you should have been the emperor of Daliang a long time ago."

Qin Mu did not respond but reached out and gently embraced Fang Ling in his arms.

The two of them snuggled together, the corners of their lips couldn't help but rise.

The sudden death of Emperor Qin Jingyan caused great shock to the harem.

Yang Furong, Defei and Gaofei, the three with high positions, are not so bad.

After the palace coup, Fang Ling immediately found Yang Furong and told her the whole story.

Yang Furong was already extremely disappointed with the emperor. Although she was a little sad about his death, she quickly accepted it.

All she wants is for the baby in her belly to be fine.

Concubine De was a little panicked at first.

Fearing that the emperor would suddenly pass away, Prince Jing was about to ascend the throne.

In order to secure his throne, Prince Jing might take action against her children.

But when Prince Jing and Fang Ling found her and expressed their feelings very sincerely, the two marriages went on as usual.

After hearing this, Concubine De was no longer panicked.

At first, Concubine Gao was also afraid that her child would be in danger.

But when Prince Jing and Princess Jing met her, her heart instantly calmed down.

Concubine Gao didn't ask for much, she just wanted the mother and son to live in peace.
