Daxia Empire, the imperial city and tiger capital.
The once bustling downtown streets are now deserted.
The major commercial streets were dead silent. It was just noon, and all the stores and shops were closed.
Occasionally, vehicles would pass by in a hurry on the street, but it was just a glimpse.
Logically speaking——
When a new emperor ascends the throne, even if he does not offer a general amnesty to the whole country, he should still celebrate the occasion with the people.
But today's Hudu gives people the feeling of an untimely and strange depression everywhere.
A snap~~
In the domed palace, a clear and unusual sound suddenly broke the peace of the imperial garden.
"Damn, how brave!"
In the study room.
Xuanyuan Hong, who had just succeeded to the throne, was wearing a dragon robe and raised his hand to smash the tea cup on the table.
"I just said that I wanted to drink iced juice, but you actually brought me hot tea!"
A strong murderous intention that was completely inappropriate for his age could not help but appear between his brows.
His brows were furrowed.
Xuanyuan Hong looked ferocious at the desk and shouted in a deep voice: "You humble and despicable dog slaves, are you deliberately seeking death?!"
on the ground.
The two maids were already shivering and were lying on the ground. They did not dare to move even though they were drenched with hot tea.
"Your Majesty, spare your life, spare your life..."
One of the maids took courage and begged for mercy: "It's the people in the imperial dining room. According to the late emperor's habit, they would bring a new cup of tea to the imperial study at noon every day. This is not the fault of the slaves!"
"oh?"
Raised a brow.
Xuanyuan Hong's eyes flashed with a biting chill, and he sneered: "According to your opinion, I should imitate the late emperor and drink this kind of miserable shit every day?"
As soon as these words came out.
The maid who just spoke immediately realized that something was wrong, but it was too late to change her words.
"Come here, drag these two bastards down..."
Give an order.
Two strong guards immediately stepped forward, one on the left and one on the right, to lift up the two limp maids in public.
Lift your chin.
The young boy on Long'an waved his sleeves seriously, and after thinking for a moment, he ordered: "I have just ascended the throne, and there will be no blood today. I will sell the two of them overseas. From now on, they will never be allowed to do anything again." Set foot in Daxia!"
The two maids suddenly turned pale, and even if they had the strength to cry out, they lost all their strength.
Sell them as slaves to distant overseas countries, and their consequences will be nothing more than becoming the lowest prostitutes and female slaves.
From then on, he was played with and trampled by others all his life. Not only was he far away from his hometown, but he also became a tool for others to make money.
This kind of hell-like day was far more painful and cruel than killing them directly with a knife.
Everything is settled.
Seeing the two maids being dragged out of the imperial garden, the servant in charge of summoning them was so frightened that he didn't dare to take another look at them, and hurriedly walked into the study with small steps and fear.
"Your Majesty..."
He knelt down cautiously.
The servant in front of him was careful and said softly: "Master Lin, the envoy of the Forbidden Palace in the Imperial City, is asking for an audience outside the palace."
The haze in his eyes was suddenly swept away.
Xuanyuan Hong stood up quickly, raised his hands with a pleased expression and said, "Why don't you invite Lin Aiqing to see you!"
"This slave obeys the order..."
He responded respectfully.
Climbing up from the ground, the servant in front of him hunched his body and steadily exited the imperial study.
next moment--
A loud voice suddenly sounded outside the door.
"Lin Zerong, a humble minister, may my emperor live long live!"
Taking the step of disowning all relatives.
Lin Zerong walked into the imperial study room proudly, looking at the servants and guards in the room, his brows filled with arrogance.
Now he not only holds a large number of troops of the Forbidden Palace Envoy, but also has the noble status of being a minister of the dragon.
said with no exaggeration.
At this moment, Lin Zerong was no longer what he used to be. He was already very powerful in the imperial city and was deeply trusted by the young emperor. Almost no one dared to compete with him.
"Lin Aiqing, you are finally here!"
The little emperor lifted up his dragon robe and came down from the dragon's bank. He stretched out his hand to support Lin Zerong, who was about to kneel down and bow.
Didn't feel any discomfort.
Lin Zerong felt it was natural and seemed to enjoy the feeling of being taken seriously. He lowered his head and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, you are so anxious to summon the minister, what are your orders?"
"They are not the veterans of the court!"
He slowly helped Lin Zerong to the seat on the side.
Xuanyuan Hong puffed up his cheeks and said angrily: "They said that my throne was obtained unfairly and that I was an unfilial person who conspired to usurp the throne. They also said that Ai Qing was a traitor and a traitor who brought trouble to the imperial court!"
He turned back and pointed at the pile of memorials on Longan.
With a bad look on his face, the little emperor continued angrily: "These old people with no eyesight actually want me to issue an imperial edict to punish myself, and even ask me to take back the imperial edict regarding the withdrawal of the vassal state that I issued a few days ago..."
"Why?!"
A little wave of his hand.
Xuanyuan Hong looked ferocious as he gritted his teeth and said, "I am the emperor of Daxia. This throne originally belonged to me. If the throne is held improperly or if it brings trouble to the imperial court, these old people should die!"
He has been pampered since childhood, and his status is extremely noble.
The little emperor in front of him has already developed a cruel and vicious nature. He cannot accept that his value has been distorted by others, let alone listen to unfavorable advice.
in his concept.
Except for the superior imperial power, everyone else is a slave who must obey him unconditionally.
"Haha, your Majesty, don't be anxious."
Smile slightly.
Raising his hand to take the hot tea from the servant, Lin Zerong said with a deep look: "In that case, let's just get rid of them."
As soon as these words came out.
Even the little emperor was stunned on the spot and couldn't react for a long time.
To know.
He had just ascended to the throne, and he had already chosen to break through common sense by promulgating the imperial edict to withdraw the vassal state.
At this time, it is the time to employ people. If you insist on going your own way and deal with all these veterans, let's put aside whether you can convince the public. If you are reduced to a situation where there are no talents available, wouldn't you really become a lonely man? !
"But......"
It wasn't that Xuanyuan Hong didn't understand the logic, and he immediately hesitated a little.
"Your Majesty, what's the point?"
Put down the teacup.
Lin Zerong narrowed his eyes and said with bright eyes: "You must know that you are no longer the prince you were before, but the monarch of the Great Xia Empire and the decision-maker with supreme imperial power."
There was a pause.
He took the initiative to meet the little emperor's slightly stunned eyes.
Lin Zerong continued to confuse: "The whole world is not the land of the king, and the shore of the land is not the king's ministers. This truth must be experienced by everyone. As for those who dare to disobey your wishes, no matter who they are, they must be severely punished. No loan, otherwise, who will listen to your majesty from now on?"
He was suddenly stunned on the spot.
Xuanyuan Hong's face gradually became gloomy, and his expression became more ferocious.
As the saying goes, there is one emperor and one courtier.
When the new emperor ascends the throne, proper cleaning of the court is absolutely necessary.
There is no right or wrong in this, it is just a matter of establishing prestige!
"I understand."
He raised his eyebrows.
Xuanyuan Hong clenched his fists, turned around and came to the dragon case, knocking the table full of memorials to the ground.
"Somebody come!"
The two guards entered the hall again, kneeling on one knee and respectfully waiting for the superior's instructions.
"Move all these memorials to the square in front of the imperial city tower..."
Stand with your hands behind your back.
The young man in front of him had a sinister look in his eyes and gave an order: "Give it to me, burn it all with fire!"
Hear the words.
The two guards looked at each other. Although they were a little shocked in their hearts, they did not dare to have the slightest objection.
Burning memorials handed over by veterans in full public view has never happened before in the history of the Great Xia Empire.
This move.
It was Xuanyuan Hong who strengthened his determination and also foreshadowed that an extremely bloody purge was about to begin quickly in the Great Xia court.
A satisfied smile.
Lin Zerong picked up the teacup and took a sip, his brows filled with a strange look like a hawk watching a wolf.
