Chapter 127:

    The only thing that Qing Ping Emperor can move now is his eyes.

    Xue Yan sat at the head of his bed, while Empress Jiang stood aside. When they communicated, only the two of them could say, and Emperor Qing Ping blinked.

    Just now, they are helpless, this is the solution that Xue Yan came up with.

    “If you agree, blink once, if you disagree, blink twice,” he said. "Make no mistake."

    Qing Pingdi paused for a while, and did not seem to like such a passive way of communication.

    Xue Yan was very impatient.

    "Do you understand?" he asked.

    Emperor Qing Ping really couldn't think of a better way.

    He blinked reluctantly.

    "I'll agree first." Xue Yan said. "No matter what you ask me to do, don't let me sit on the throne. I finally caught my wife, don't scare away."

    The Qing Ping Emperor glared at him and winked twice.

    Xue Yan sneered.

    "It's no use if you don't agree," he said. "If you can't do this, you can't talk about anything else."

    The Qing Ping Emperor glared at him, Xue Yan looked back at him lightly.

    "If you can't agree to this matter, don't blame your century-old ancestral foundation for being neglected." Xue Yan folded his arms and said without hesitation. "Anyway, when you met your ancestors, it was because you believed in the ministers."

    When the people around me heard these disrespectful words, they didn't dare to speak out, their eyebrows lowered, and they just wanted to pretend that they didn't exist.

     Empress Jiang next to her didn't dare to speak.

    After a while, Emperor Qing Ping blinked with gritted teeth and stared at Xue Yan.

    Xue Yan chuckled.

    Empress Jiang looked quite frightened from the side.

    Even now, Emperor Qing Ping can't speak and his limbs are stiff, but he is still the emperor and the symbol of Dayong's supreme power.

    There is no one else but Xue Yan who can disrespect him like this.

    The Qing Emperor glared at Xue Yan, but Xue Yan was indifferent. After a while, Emperor Qing Ping was extremely angry and discouraged, and closed his eyes heavily, only taking it out of sight to be pure.

    Inexplicably, this scene made these two look like father and son for the first time in nearly 20 years.

    Xue Yan laughed, knowing that Emperor Qingping was forced to acquiesce.

    Agreement on this matter is reached, and the two can continue to talk.

    "Since you want me to take care of it, you must be worried about your eldest son and second son, right?"

    The Qing Ping Emperor blinked without hesitation.

    Xue Yan smiled: "Yes, not too old."

    The Qing Ping Emperor began to stare at him again.

    But Xue Yan didn't care.

    Even Empress Jiang, who was next to her, couldn't stand it, and tugged at his sleeve.

    "What about the sixth prince?" Xue Yan then asked.

    The Qing Ping Emperor pondered for a while, then blinked and blinked again.

    Queen Jiang nodded and said, "Bengong spoiled Yunhuan too much, and raised him to be loose and naive. He doesn't like reading, let alone the court. Even if it's this matter, I don't trust him."

    Although she is a queen, her father is an important minister in the court. However, Jiang Xiang was a conservative and rigid person, and he was very unwilling to show favoritism. Therefore, Empress Jiang had been taught by him to develop such a disposition since she was a child.

    After speaking, she looked at Xue Yan.

    The implication is that no one can do it except Xue Yan. After all, the next few princes have either just opened their doors or are still in their infancy.

    Xue Yan tutted impatiently.

    "The doctor from Jiangnan will be here soon," he said. "Wait for him to come and see the situation."

    The Qing Ping Emperor's eyes immediately chased him.

    Xue Yan knew what he was afraid of, and continued: "I will handle the matter in the court for you for the time being. But I don't live in the palace, nor will I be the prince. If you can cure it, I will Just do it yourself, if you can't cure it, it depends on which of your next sons becomes a talent, and whoever will be handed over to you then."

    This is a promise to Emperor Qing Ping to temporarily take care of the foundation of the dynasty for him.

    Emperor Qing Ping had some understanding of Xue Yan's character. Since he is willing to take over at this time, he will not let it go until the overall situation is settled.

    The Qing Emperor knew that Xue Yan was willing to give him the bottom line.

    A big stone in his heart was finally put down. But at the same time of peace of mind, there are also some regrets.

    I have to say that since he woke up, or from a year ago, as long as he occasionally thinks about the succession of the throne, he will feel that only Xue Yan is the most suitable.

    This throne was snatched from his many flesh-and-blood siblings back then. Over the years, he has tried his best to secure this position, and at the same time, he has been on guard against others' coveting.

    But he didn't expect that one day, he wanted to give this position, but the other party didn't want it at all.

    The Qing Ping Emperor looked at Xue Yan, blinked, and only agreed.

    The Qing Emperor looked at Xue Yan's back.

    He knows, he can't blame anyone.

    At this point, all the mistakes are caused by him.

    —

    In the early morning of the next day, Manchao Wenwu arrived in the court hall and waited for who would be the person sitting on the dragon chair today.

    None of the ministers said a word, and they all looked as usual, but if you look closely, you can see that everyone's expressions are a little nervous and uneasy.

    Nowadays, the situation of the court is changing. Although His Royal Highness King Guangling has stabilized the court situation now, when it comes to the conclusion of the coffin, everyone is still a little uncertain.

    At this moment, drums sounded outside the main hall, and the meeting was officially started.

    According to the past, the emperor will be sent by the **** at this time, step out from behind the main hall, and sit on the dragon chair.

    Even if the fourth prince went to court that day, it was like this.

    Everyone held their breaths.

    The eunuch's voice came from behind them.

    "His Royal Highness King Guangling is here—"

    The **** even stammered in shock, and then all the ministers turned pale in shock and looked behind them.

    His Royal Highness King Guangling came from outside the palace?

    For a time, everyone was dumbfounded and looked at him blankly.

    But Xue Yan, dressed in the royal uniform of the king, passed by the ministers without looking sideways, and crossed Jiang Xiang who was standing at the head of the ministers.

    He stepped on the golden steps in front of the dragon chair, turned around and stood in front of the dragon chair.

    Jin Bao followed behind him majestic, standing beside the dragon chair.

    Xue Yan sat down on the dragon chair.

    All the ministers looked at him in surprise.

    Since Xue Yan does not live in the palace, naturally he still enters and leaves the court as the king of the county. But why did he go to the dragon chair again.

    Everyone was confused for a while.

    But Xue Yan tutted impatiently.

    "What are you doing?" he asked. "Is there nothing to play, nothing to deal with?"

    The ministers suddenly reacted and knelt down to salute.

    Xue Yan pressed the armrest with one hand and adjusted to a more comfortable sitting position.

    "My father was poisoned, I will definitely investigate this matter and find a way to cure it." Xue Yan said.

    "But now, he can't do anything, and I will handle the affairs of the court. As for who will be the prince and who will be given the throne, it is not a matter of discussion now."

    He glanced at the circle of ministers.

    "In short, it doesn't matter who sits in this position. You only need to do your duties well, and you don't need to worry about the rest. I am different from the father, I have a bad temper. , you should have heard of it."

    The ministers responded quickly.

    Xue Yan raised his hand and got them up.

    The early dynasties since then have been orderly.

    Xue Yan's prestige, the civil and military officials of Chang'an will naturally not be ignorant. When he first entered the court, it was not that he did not think of ways to oppose him and impeach him.

    However, the fate of these people is not very good.

    Since then, all officials will know that everyone will do some unavoidable and shameful things. If you do it, you must not provoke King Guangling. If you want to have a smooth official career and avoid troubles, the first thing is to not get involved with the King of Guangling.

    Hundreds of officials know to be afraid, but the Xu family does not. But now, the fate of the Xu family is obvious to all.

    Now that Xue Yan is sitting in that position, no one dares to disobey him.

    As a result, an early dynasty was run safely and stably, and the efficiency was even much higher than when the Qing Ping Emperor was there.

    Two quarters earlier than usual, the morning was over.

    The ministers dispersed, and Xue Yan left the Minister of Punishment alone.

    "Have you decided how to convict Xu Xiang's family?" Xue Yan asked.

    The Minister of Punishment hurriedly said: "Return to the lord, it has been prepared, just wait for the lord to issue an decree."

    Xue Yan hummed and motioned for him to continue.

    Xu Xiang's family was corrupt and bribery and colluded with the vassal kings, and now they are still being held hostage by heavy troops, besieging the capital, and intending to usurp the throne. Such a serious crime is enough to punish the nine clans of the Xu family.

    There is no controversy, the Minister of Punishment did not hesitate to tell Xue Yan the result drawn up by the Ministry of Punishment.

    Xue Yan hummed.

    "The Xu family's sins are relieved." He said.

    The Minister of Justice was taken aback.

    This... extermination of the nine clans is already a capital punishment, so where else can it go?

    He didn't dare to speak, he knelt down and waited for Xue Yan's instructions.

    Xue Yan's hand slowly pulled the faucet on the armrest of the dragon chair.

    "If the nine tribes are punished, how will Xu Xiang, Xu Zonglun and Xu Zongwei be judged?"

    The Minister of Punishment said: "Naturally, beheading..."

    Xue Yan stopped.

    "The three of them are sentenced separately," he said.

    Last night, Duan Shi Shi told him about the situation of the Jun family. Xue Yan knew very well why Xue Yunhong sent someone to Yongning Gongfu, and also arrested his wife and eldest daughter in jail.

    The one who wanted to kill Yongning in Jiangnan was the Xu Xiang family. Now I want to imprison the female relatives while there are no males in Yongning's mansion, also because of the discord between the Jun family and the Xu family.

    Xue Yan would not let them off so easily.

    "I also ask the lord to make it clear." The Minister of Punishment hurriedly said.

    Xue Yan looked at him and said lightly: "Change the way of death, don't be too decent, and don't be too easy. As for which way to die, you must know better than me."

    The Minister of Punishment is naturally clear.

    "But..." However, there has never been a precedent for taking out several individual sentences from the people who killed the family.

    Xue Yan was too lazy to listen to him finish.

    “Just do it,” he said. "What about Xue Yunhong?" Xue Yan asked again.

      "Therefore, I also ask the lord to show you."

    Xue Yan smiled inexplicably.

    "I want to take the throne, but also save his life?" he said.

    The Minister of Punishment understands, this is to kill.

    But I heard Xue Yan follow.

    "Beheading," he said.

    The Minister of Punishment was surprised.

    Prince and grandson, even if they commit a serious crime and are to be executed, they must keep their whole body. To have a different head, this is a huge humiliation for the fourth prince!

    The Minister of Punishment was stunned.

    Xue Yan frowned impatiently: "Is there a problem?"

    No problem, no problem.

    The minister of punishment broke out in a cold sweat and left in a daze.

    When the minister of punishment left the hall, Xue Yan sneered.

    These people not only make up their own minds, but also dare to move Yongning Gongfu. Let them die well, can I still sleep peacefully?

     Jinbao next to him came up with a smile.

    "Your Highness, the morning is over, where shall we go?"

    It stands to reason that he is going to go back to the manor, where do you need him to ask.

    But he meant something, and he also fell in love with Xue Yan.

    He paused, then said, "Go to the Duke's Mansion to see."

    Jinbao sighed and hurriedly arranged to go.

    It was only yesterday that the Duke's Mansion suffered a great disaster. Fortunately, with the help of Xue Yan, the danger could be saved. Today, Xue Yan went to visit, which is naturally reasonable.

    Jinbao made arrangements quickly, and as soon as Xue Yan left the palace, the carriage went non-stop to the Duke's mansion.

    Jinbao handed the post in.

    Unexpectedly, the servant at the concierge took the post, glanced at it, and put it back into Jinbao's hand.

     "Father-in-law, please come back with your lord."

    Jinbao was surprised: "Is there no one in the house?"

    The porter shook his head.

    "The madam has an order, but everyone in the Guangling Palace, no matter who they are, will not be seen."
