None of the ministers had expected that the Emperor of Guang Dong would be taking charge of the government.
Moreover, he compared himself to Emperor Kangxi.
They scoffed at this in their hearts. Naturally, they didn't think that there was anything about Emperor Guang 'er that could compare to Emperor Kang Xi.
However, the Emperor of Guang Yue had requested to rule the country personally, and their backer had fallen. How could they reject the Emperor of Guang Yue?
"We obey your orders!" The ministers had no choice but to compromise.
The emperor nodded in satisfaction.""Very good. The matter of the Empress Dowager being poisoned to death should not be made public. If it were to spread, it would seriously affect the reputation of my Ming Empire. Just announce to the public that the Empress Dowager had contracted a vicious disease and died suddenly. In addition, the funeral should be simple. It should not be extravagant or attract attention.”
"Yes, sir!" A few of the ministers answered.
They had already admitted defeat to the Emperor of Guang Yue, so naturally, they would follow whatever the Emperor said.
The reason why the Emperor of Guang Dong wanted everything to be simple and bury the Empress Dowager of the West as soon as possible was because he wanted to conclude the case so that everyone would not talk about it and cause panic. On the other hand, it was naturally to save money.
If they were to hold a grand state funeral, how much money would they have to spend?
If you don't take charge of the household, you don't know how expensive rice is!
Since he would be the family of the Ming Empire in the future, especially under the circumstances of being surrounded by strong enemies, he would naturally save as much as he could.
The Empress Dowager of the West probably never imagined that she would be treated like this after her death.
However, if she knew what kind of infamy she would leave behind in another dimension, she should thank the Emperor of Guang Dong. If he died twenty years in advance, he would not have to bear all kinds of infamy and would not have to go down in history.
"The first thing I will do after taking over the government is to issue a decree to promote Li Shaoquan, the governor of Zhili and minister of Beiyang, to the Military and Political Affairs Office.”Emperor Guang Dong asked.
The ministers looked at each other in shock.
Li Shaoquan was the founder of the Huai Army, and he was the true power of the Ming Empire.
The first thing the Emperor of Guang Yue did after taking over the government was to promote Li Shaoquan to the Military and Political Affairs Office. It was obvious that Li Shaoquan had already sided with the Emperor of Guang Yue.
This caused everyone to look at the emperor with respect.
They knew that after gaining Li Shaoquan's support, Guang Dong's emperor's position was more than half stable.
"In addition, I have already ordered that from tonight onwards, a curfew will be imposed in Yanjing City. The nine admiral yamens and the capital camp would maintain the security of Yanjing. In addition, Jin Guard Commander Nie Shicheng had already led his army to the capital and would cooperate with the capital camp to control the situation. If anyone dares to stir up trouble at this time, I will not let them off easily!”The Emperor of Guang Dong was filled with killing intent.
The ministers knew that Admiral Fu Kun of the Nine Gates was definitely on the Emperor's side.
They were even more impressed by the emperor's methods. They knew that the emperor had complete control of the situation.
If anyone dared to jump out at this time, they would definitely be courting death.
The Emperor of Guang Dong didn't mind killing the chicken to warn the monkeys at the beginning of his reign.
In any case, the current Ming Empire could be said to be filled with corrupt officials.
Taking the opportunity to kill, he could also use this opportunity to collect a sum of wealth.
At the same time, in the capital of Yan, the Gong Prince was woken up by someone.
Even though the Gong Prince was ordered to study at home, he had the power to rule the country. Even though they had stepped down, they still had many followers.
The Empress Dowager of the West was dead, most likely poisoned to death. Naturally, he could not hide it from him.
After learning of this news, the Gong Prince immediately sent people to find his trusted aides, Bao Yun, Jing Lian, and the others.
When the Gong Prince was in power, these two people were both important ministers and could be called his right-hand men.
After the Gong Prince's fall, the two of them were naturally dismissed by the Empress Dowager.
"Your Highness, is that person really dead? Is this news reliable?" Baoyun was extremely shocked and seemed to be in disbelief. In fact, because they were afraid of the Empress Dowager, they could only refer to her as that person.
"This is absolutely true!" The Gong Prince nodded. Moreover, there was a high chance that he had been poisoned to death. However, he didn't know who did it. But This King guessed that it was most likely the little fellow who did it!”
"Hiss!" Baoyun and Jing Lian could not help but gasp.
They did not have much respect for the Emperor of Guang Yue, let alone the submissive Emperor of Guang Yue, who had been reduced to a puppet of the Empress Dowager of the West.
However, they had never expected that the Emperor of Guang Dong would dare to do such a thing.
"You really can't judge a book by its cover!”Jing Lian sighed.
"That's right! He did not expect the little Emperor to be so ruthless!”Baoyun was also very emotional.
The Gong Prince also nodded. He hadn't thought of this either.
"Your highness, since that person is already dead, isn't this a great opportunity for your highness to rise again? Although the little Emperor was ruthless, he was still too small. How could he control the entire country? In the end, he still had to rely on his highness to step in!”Bao Yun said.
"Haha! Once this king recovers, you will definitely benefit!”The Gong Prince laughed.
Of course, his ambitions were often more than that. If possible, he wanted to take back what he had lost. For example, the throne that originally belonged to him!
