After Qin Zhentian finished speaking, there was a lot of discussion in the hall.
Such a sudden passing of the throne was beyond the expectations of many people. Moreover, it only took a month from the time when the passing of the throne was decided to when Qin Xuan ascended the throne.
"Your Majesty, is there any lack of consideration in passing the throne so hastily?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince's cultivation level is not high yet. Now is the golden time for cultivation. Maybe it would be better to wait."
"His Majesty--"
Soon many ministers stood up and spoke against it.
The Tianlong Empire is too big and has many forces. The ministers above the court represent the interests of many forces.
Qin Zhentian suddenly decided to pass the throne to Qin Xuan, which caught them off guard. They asked Qin Zhentian to slow down before they had time to discuss.
In addition, some people have already received instructions. If Qin Zhentian passes the throne to Qin Xuan, they must stand up and oppose the destruction.
——For example, a minister who is secretly attracted by other countries or a certain prince.
On the emperor's throne, Qin Zhentian's face was expressionless.
Many ministers who secretly supported King Xiaoyao came forward.
They had received news from King Xiaoyao some time ago. In their opinion, King Xiaoyao was leaving on important matters.
But Qin Xuan cannot inherit the throne when King Xiaoyao leaves.
——They didn’t know that King Xiaoyao had been arrested.
"Ministers, if you have any opinions, please feel free to speak out."
Qin Zhentian said in a deep voice.
Hearing what Qin Zhentian said, more people stood up, especially those who supported King Xiaoyao. They had already boarded King Xiaoyao's ship. If they retreated and were exposed, they might be dead.
"Everyone, it seems that many of you are opposed to my decision."
Qin Zhentian said in a deep voice.
"During my reign, in order to stabilize the Tianlong Empire, I worked very hard and walked on thin ice. I may have been too kind to you."
Many of His Highness's ministers felt something was wrong.
"Somebody come!"
Qin Zhentian shouted.
Many palace guards quickly poured into the hall.
"Arrest all the people on this list!"
"Whoever dares to resist will be punished by the Nine Clans!"
Qin Zhentian threw out a list. Most of the ministers on this list secretly supported King Xiaoyao, and some were confirmed by Qin Zhentian to support the others.
He will retreat soon, and before retreating, he will try to leave a cleaner court for Qin Xuan.
"Your Majesty, what did the veteran commit?"
"Your Majesty, you can't arrest us just because we said a few words."
"I have always been loyal, Your Majesty, why are you doing this?"
…
All the ministers were highly cultivated, and they could use their spiritual senses to immediately know who was on the list thrown out by Qin Zhentian.
Many people's faces changed wildly when they found themselves on it.
"Master Wang, I'm offended."
"Master Liu, please don't resist, otherwise don't blame us for being rude."
The palace guards quickly arrested people. Everyone on the list was arrested by them, and their cultivation was sealed by them.
In total, about fifty people were arrested.
"Pull them out and behead them all."
Qin Zhentian ordered.
"hiss!"
Many other people in the hall took a breath of cold air. There were about fifty ministers, many of whom had reached the third rank.
The highest reached the first level.
Qin Zhentian actually ordered all fifty of them to be beheaded!
"Your Majesty, think twice."
"Your Majesty, why are you doing this?"
Several ministers stood up.
Some of the captured ministers were their friends.
Qin Zhentian said coldly: "They are basically involved in treason. I am particularly merciful to them for not directly interfering with the nine tribes."
"Who wants to intercede on their behalf?"
The few people who had just stood up quickly retreated.
They were all frightened.
These people were actually involved in treason, mixed in, and died without knowing how.
Qin Xuan said at this time: "Father, why don't you give the person who was arrested a chance to explain? Otherwise, the others may have doubts."
Qin Zhentian nodded slightly.
He looked coldly at the dozens of people who were arrested: "You can explain now. You have two choices. The first is to admit it directly. I will treat your family members lightly."
"The second one is sophistry and refusal to admit guilt. I will give you evidence. When the evidence is conclusive, I will punish you nine tribes according to the law."
The dozens of people who were arrested looked pale.
They didn't want to die, but no one dared to stand up and make excuses.
If you plead guilty obediently, you might be the only one who will die. If you don't plead guilty, everyone in the family will die together. They can decide which is lighter or heavier.
"No one wants to explain themselves?"
Qin Zhentian said coldly, "You are truly my good ministers."
"Push it out and kill!"
Dozens of people were quickly taken out, and not long after, their heads were chopped off one by one.
"Um?"
Xiao Fan was pleasantly surprised.
These dozens of ministers were beheaded, and he received huge imperial fortune.
There are about fifty of them, and their official positions are not low.
"The interval is a little short, but with such great luck, I can definitely sign in and get powerful treasures."
"I hope my cultivation can improve!"
Xiao Fan thought to himself.
His cultivation level at the Martial Emperor Perfection level is already very high, but it is not enough. There are demigods in other countries and god-slaying treasures.
"System, sign in."
Xiao Fan said in his mind.
"The sign-in is successful. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the holy-level treasure Zixiao Tiangong. In Zixiao Tiangong, the speed of cultivation can be greatly accelerated, and at the same time, it will be gradually controlled by Zixiao Tiangong."
The system's voice sounded in Xiao Fan's mind.
At the same time, a lot of information quickly poured into Xiao Fan's mind.
Zixiao Temple is a control treasure, suitable for use by people like the Death Legion or Wu Hai, Zhang Fu and others.
Or the other powerful people Xiao Fan wants to control.
But it is not suitable for Qin Xuan and others to practice in Zixiao Temple.
Being controlled to the limit will be affected.
——There is no problem reaching the demigod level, or even the low-level god level, but it is difficult for the controlled person to become a high-level god.
"The Zixiao Heavenly Palace comes with fifteen hundred years of cultivation. Host, your cultivation has been promoted to the early stage of the Martial Emperor. Congratulations to the host."
The system said again.
Powerful energy poured into Xiao Fan's body crazily.
"Cool!"
If it weren't for the inappropriate timing, Xiao Fan would have laughed three times.
Xiao Fan was overjoyed after signing in and receiving treasures such as the Zixiao Tiangong, and his cultivation level was also promoted to the early stage of the Martial Emperor.
When the Martial Emperor completed his cultivation, his overall combat power was that of the late Martial Emperor. Now, at the early stage of the Martial Emperor, his comprehensive combat power has reached the level of the Martial Emperor.
In the Holy Word Continent, such strength is undoubtedly the top powerhouse.
"Dear gentlemen, I want to pass the throne to Xuan'er, who else is against it?"
Qin Zhentian asked from the throne.
Everyone was silent.
Who is so heartless as to stand up and oppose it at this time?
"Since none of you object, then the matter is settled!"
"Xuan'er, be prepared to succeed!"
Qin Zhentian said majestically.
