Chapter 529 The Emperor Passed Away
"How dare you!" Baili Huang's eyes were suddenly filled with anger: "You can't do this!"
Demoting him to a commoner and not allowing him to stay in Zhong Zhou State, isn't this tantamount to driving his family away from their homeland?
Dongfang Su said with a click of the tongue: "If you don't want to, I can only use the method you used on the Dongfang clan to deal with the Baili clan. After all, I also know that wildfires cannot be extinguished, and spring breezes will bring new life. If there are people from the Baili clan left here, they will definitely come back again."
The method used to deal with the Dongfang clan is to directly exterminate all nine clans.
Baili Huang quickly shook his head: "No!"
Dongfang Su had a look of embarrassment on his face: "Alas... You won't allow this, and you won't allow that. Do you think you still have a choice now? Since it's so troublesome, I might as well kill them all. There won't be one or two more wronged souls at my hands."
Baili Huang also knew Dongfang Su's methods.
He is a cruel and ruthless person who will do anything to achieve his goals.
At the beginning, as Dongfang Su's master, he liked Dongfang Su's methods very much.
But now, Dongfang Su used this method on his own expression, and Baili Huang felt very uncomfortable.
He immediately said: "I am willing to write a confession of guilt, as long as you can let my family live in peace for the rest of their lives..."
The next moment, Dongfang Su reached out and grabbed Baili Huang's neck.
With hatred in his eyes, he said, "Why do you think that you can still negotiate with me now? History books are written by the victors. You have to die the way I want you to die! You have wiped out all of my Dongfang family. The entire palace was covered in blood. Did you ever give Dongfang family a chance at that time?"
Baili Huang suddenly laughed out loud: "I shouldn't have done that! I should have killed you first, and then killed the Duke of Zhenguo!"
Dongfang Su's hands slowly exerted force.
Baili Huang's face gradually looked suffocated, and he struggled hard.
Dongfang Su opened his mouth and said, "If I hadn't been in a hurry, I would definitely not let you die so easily!"
Baili Huang gradually stopped struggling and his hands fell down.
Dongfang Su loosened his hand and looked at Baili Huang with disgust: "It's really a bargain for you to let you die like this."
Jiang Lingyi stood up, picked up the imperial edict on the bed, and then took the imperial edict on her body in her hand.
He skillfully took out the imperial seal from the desk beside him and stamped it on the imperial edict.
After doing all this, Dongfang Su slowly stepped out of the house.
Then he saw civil and military officials appear in front of him to explain.
Jiang Lingyi, who was in the lead, glanced at Dongfang Su with a hint of confusion in her eyes.
The other officials all bowed to Dongfang Su.
Dongfang Su looked at everyone and then said, "Your Majesty has passed away."
When everyone heard this, they all knelt on the ground, kneeling towards the direction of the house.
Dongfang Su threw one of the imperial edicts in his hand to Jiang Lingyi: "This is the emperor's confession of guilt."
"Guilty edict?"
When everyone heard this, they all looked at Dongfang Su in confusion.
Jiang Lingyi glanced at the contents of the imperial edict and then circulated it to the people behind her for reading.
Then he said, "Back then, the Dongfang clan was not usurped by foreigners, but by the Baili clan. Now, the eunuch Fang Su in front of us was the crown prince of the Dongfang clan! Today, the emperor is dead, and this position should naturally belong to the Dongfang clan."
After this was said, many people echoed it.
Most of the civil and military officials were headed by Jiang Lingyi and Dongfang Su.
Among them, some people already know Dongfang Su's true identity.
However, there are also some new officials who were born into common families and have raised questions about this.
"But even if Eunuch Fang Su is the former Crown Prince Dongfang Su, he has killed countless people over the years and his hands are stained with too much blood. Can such a person really be a wise ruler?"
Dongfang Su looked at the official who spoke.
Although the official was frightened, he still looked directly into Dongfang Su's eyes.
Dongfang Su slowly raised the corners of his lips: "Yes, there should be more people who are willing to tell the truth in the court."
At this time, a large group of people came from not far away.
Those people stopped in front of Dongfang Su.
Then he bowed to Dongfang Su.
When the civil and military officials recognized the familiar faces among those people, they were all stunned.
"Isn't that Mr. Zhang who was executed a long time ago?"
"And Master Cheng."
"This is Lord Xin who wanted to thoroughly investigate the Dongfang clan and angered His Majesty."
Everyone started talking immediately.
Dongfang Su spoke at the right time: "I have killed many people, but I, Dongfang Su, only killed those who should be killed. As for those people who Baili Huang asked me to kill but I felt should not be killed, I never killed them. I just let them survive in a different way."
The young official who had raised the question earlier also had a hint of guilt on his face.
He bowed to Dongfang Su and said, "I am a humble official who is not knowledgeable enough."
Jiang Lingyi also looked at Dongfang Su deeply. She didn't expect that the other party could actually do this.
Just when Jiang Lingyi was about to speak.
Dongfang Su stepped forward, walked in front of Jiang Lingyi, smiled at her, and then knocked Jiang Lingyi unconscious with a palm.
Dongfang Su borrowed Jiang Lingyi's room and handed her over to the guard beside him.
Everyone was puzzled as to what Dongfang Su meant.
Dongfang Su handed another imperial edict and an envelope in his hand to his confidant.
He said, "The previous edict of guilt must be posted throughout the city. As for the Baili clan, all of them will be demoted to commoners and expelled from the Great Zhou. This imperial edict is an edict to abdicate to Jiang Lingyi. The throne should naturally be handed over to someone who cares about the people of the world. The Zhenguogong Mansion has guarded the border city for generations. Jiang Lingyi will be a good monarch. When Jiang Lingyi believes it, give him the imperial edict and the envelope."
The confidant listened to Dongfang Su's words and asked carefully: "My Lord...why don't you tell Lord Jiang in person? Where are you going?"
Dongfang Su smiled: "If Jiang Lingyi was awake, how could he accept this position? Well, it's time for me to go."
After saying that, Dongfang Su left without looking back.
Dongfang Su arrived at the palace gate, mounted his horse, and galloped all the way to Jiang's house.
But I saw a carriage parked in front of Jiang's house.
Jiang Wanqing held Xiaoxiao in her arms, standing in front of the carriage, looking at each other from afar.
Dongfang Su got off the horse and came directly to Jiang Wanqing, took Xiao Xiao, and then hugged Jiang Wanqing in his arms.
"Daddy, why are your eyes red?"
Xiao Xiao looked confused.
Dongfang Su rubbed his little head and said, "Because Daddy is so happy. In the future, Daddy can accompany us Xiaoxiao every day."
