"By the fate of heaven, the emperor issued an edict: I am ill and my health will never recover. The country cannot be without a king for a day. Therefore, the prince Qin Ming is specially appointed to supervise the country on my behalf. All internal and external affairs should be decided as soon as possible. See the prince as you see him. I am here in person and will kill anyone who violates this rule. I admire this."
After the imperial edict was read out, the highest authority of the Dali Dynasty was personally handed over to Qin Ming by Emperor Yong'an.
After Eunuch Zhang Yong finished reading, everyone knelt down to receive the order: "Long live my emperor, long live my emperor!"
Then Prince Qin Ming walked out of the inner room, glanced at everyone, and then said coldly: "Seeing me is like meeting my father, why don't you kneel down and salute!"
Everyone looked at each other, and then the right prime minister, Lu Siming, was the first to bow his head and shouted: "The prince may live a thousand years, a thousand years!"
A group of people behind him also bowed down. Seeing this, Li Sanguang and his group had to bow down no matter how reluctant they were. A group of royal family members also followed up and bowed down. Although they didn't have to bow down to the prince, the prince now supervises the country and exercises the monarch's power on his behalf. , seeing him is like seeing a king, how can you not worship the emperor when you are facing him?
"The prince is a thousand years old, a thousand years old!" In Weiyang Palace, everyone knelt down and shouted in unison.
Only one is still standing in the center of the hall, standing out like a flock of chickens.
That is King Qi, Qin Muye!
Qin Ming also noticed him, looked at him coldly, and asked: "Why doesn't King Qi pay homage to me when he sees me?"
"Qin Ming, don't pretend to be pretentious. You are just supervising the country on your behalf. Why do I want to worship you?" King Qi flicked his python robe, his mustache was quivering on his face, full of anger. Obviously he was extremely dissatisfied with Qin Ming, the prince who supervises the country. .
"Zhang Yong, bring the Emperor's Sword to me!" Qin Ming ordered loudly. The eunuch Zhang Yong snorted, turned around and fetched a golden sword from the inner room, and presented it to Qin Ming with both hands.
Qin Ming took the sword and pulled it out of its scabbard with a swish sound. The gold hilt of the Emperor's Sword was inlaid with jade, which made it feel warm to the hand. But what was even more attractive was the supreme authority that the Emperor's Sword symbolized.
Qin Ming walked towards King Qi with his sword in hand. The bright blade looked even sharper against the candlelight in the room.
He put the edge of his sword on King Qi's shoulder, and the sharp blade cut off a lock of King Qi's hair.
"I, I want you to bow down!" Qin Ming didn't waste too much, and just slowly moved the Emperor's Sword in his hand towards King Qi's neck.
"Under the emperor's sword, murder is not guilty." Qin Ming said in a deep voice, constantly attacking King Qi's psychological defense line, "What's more, I am now the prince of the prison country. The power of life and death is in my hands. King Qi will not see me. To worship is to show contempt for the emperor."
A drop of cold sweat from King Qi's temples fell on the sword, causing a clang. He glared at Qin Ming fiercely, then took a step back, lifted up his python robe, knelt down and worshiped, and said reluctantly: "The prince is a thousand years old. Thousands of years old!"
Qin Ming sneered, sheathed his sword, then put on a kind smile and said, "Everyone, get up."
Only then did everyone dare to get up.
"My father's body has not recovered yet and he needs to rest. Let's leave now. I will attend the court tomorrow morning. Don't waste your time." Qin Ming said with a smile, but now he is no longer the weak prince in the eyes of everyone. Instead, he is an imperial prince with heroic spirit. His smile is no longer weak and flattering, but hides millions of knives that can kill without blinking an eye!
Everyone did not dare to look at him and retreated. King Qi gave him a fierce look before leaving.
Like to stare? When I calm down the civil disaster, I will take action on you! Qin Ming thought in his heart that King Qi had murderous intentions.
In political struggles, there is only life and death, no winning or losing. If King Qi comes to power in the future, will he spare Qin Ming's life?
Soon, only Qin Ming and Li Pian were left in the huge Weiyang Palace, as well as Zhang Yong who was waiting for the order.
Qin Ming looked at Li Pian and blinked at her maliciously. Li Pian's face suddenly turned red, and she tossed the beautiful sleeves of her phoenix robe and walked into the palace.
Qin Ming smiled helplessly, turned around and faced Zhang Yong with a cold face: "Zhang Yong, may Xuanyi Wei be transferred now?"
Zhang Yong snorted and then said: "The prince is now supervising the country on his behalf, so he naturally has the right to mobilize the Xuanyi guards."
Qin Ming nodded.
Xuanyiwei! The most terrifying intelligence assassination agency in the Dali Empire is not under the jurisdiction of any agency. It is a force that belongs directly to the emperor and only obeys the emperor's orders. The members inside are all dead warriors who are absolutely loyal to the emperor. They are highly skilled in martial arts and come and go without a trace.
"Mobilize a group of people to keep an eye on the officials and princes in Weiyang Palace tonight, especially King Qi, and record their every move, including what they said, what they ate, and even how long they had sex. You have to report it to me.”
As long as he has not ascended the throne, there will be variables in the ownership of the throne. Now he cannot give this opportunity to others.
This battle for imperial power has just begun.
Zhang Yonggong bowed respectfully and accepted the order: "I obey your orders."
Qin Ming also smiled when he saw this, and then returned to the palace.
After leaving the door, when he saw the leader of the Xuanjia Guard, he immediately smiled and said, "Send me back to the palace."
The leader now also knew that the prince was responsible for supervising the country, so he knelt down and saluted with a look: "The prince is a thousand years old, a thousand years old."
Just when he was about to get up, a big foot stepped heavily on his back, pushing his body down.
It's Qin Ming! He is stepping on his horse!
"Get up! Get me the horse!" Qin Ming ordered loudly.
The leader dug his fingers on the ground so hard that his nails broke. He could not vent the anger in his heart, so he could only stand up and take the reins: "Yes, I obey the order."
Qin Ming originally wanted to make the leader angry and then kill him to establish his authority, but unexpectedly he endured it, so let's forget it.
Qin Ming sat on the horse, letting the leader lead the horse, and soon arrived outside the East Palace.
Unexpectedly, there was a person standing outside the East Palace. Qin Ming took a closer look and found that it was Lu Siming, the right prime minister.
Qin Ming got off his horse, raised his hand to dismiss the Xuanjia guards, and walked to Lu Siming.
Lu Siming was extremely sensible and bowed down and said, "The prince is a thousand years old, a thousand years old."
"Prime Minister Lu, please get up." Qin Mingxu gave him a hand and asked, "Prime Minister Lu is waiting for me here, but what's the important matter?"
"It's not an important matter. It's just that His Highness has been ordered to supervise the country. The old minister is here to congratulate you." Seeing Qin Ming targeting Li Sanguang's people today, Lu Siming immediately realized that this was an opportunity that could be exploited, so he never left the Yangtze Palace. Come out and wait outside the East Palace early.
"Prime Minister Lu is interested." Qin Ming nodded and looked down at Lu Siming, who was bowing.
Lu Siming also happened to raise his head. As the two looked at each other, Lu Siming seemed to see in the prince's eyes the aura that belonged to the superior.
A kind of momentum that looks down on all living beings, and the whole world belongs to me.
Only then did Lu Siming become convinced that the prince in front of him was no longer the good-for-nothing prince he had been before.
But the prince of Dali, the crown prince of the country, who has a legitimate name and a thunderous heart.
"Your Majesty, if you have nothing to do, I will leave first." Lu Siming's heart was filled with waves, but he still pretended to be calm on the outside.
Qin Ming nodded, turned around and walked into the East Palace.
