That night.
A large number of eunuchs with swords and sabers swarmed into every corner of the Imperial City.
Even though the Minister of Justice, Li Si, was still investigating Cixi's death.
However, after recognizing that they were Cao Zhengchun's subordinates, he did not stop them.
However, to everyone's surprise, this group of people actually began to clean up the palace.
Be it the palace guards or the guards, they were all replaced.
This change caused the people in the Imperial City to discuss animatedly.
"Cao Zhengchun really has ulterior motives. Now that the Empress Dowager has just been assassinated, he sent people to clean up the Imperial Palace.”
"Are you trying to intervene in the court as a eunuch?”
"Perhaps the Empress Dowager's assassination has something to do with him. Quickly investigate!”
"How can our Great Xia Imperial Court allow eunuchs to take over?!”
......
Most of the officials were furious when they heard the news.
There were also people who hoped that the more chaotic the palace was, the better. These people all had an unclear relationship with the seven vassal kings.
However…
Be it anger or excitement.
After receiving a letter.
All the officials were watching without taking any action.
Because they couldn't afford to offend the person who sent the letter!
Moreover, in the letter, they saw the future glory and wealth.
"Let's wait and see. We won't lose anything!”
These few words carried a lot of weight.
Because the person who distributed the letter was the current Minister of Personnel.
Heshen!
Coincidentally, this purge went surprisingly smoothly.
...........
At Zhao Gao's residence.
When he found out that Cao Zhengchun had sent his subordinates to clean up the Imperial Palace.
Zhao Gao was also stunned.
He didn't expect Cao Zhengchun to move so quickly.
The news of the Empress Dowager's assassination had not yet spread, but they had already begun to purge the palace.
However…
After thinking for a while, Zhao Gao also reacted.
Although the Empress Dowager had covered the sky with one hand, she was already dead!
Now was a good time to quickly take over all the power!
"Cao Zhengchun, oh Cao Zhengchun, it's good that you're willing to lead the way.”
Zhao Gao smiled sinisterly.
He had never thought of sharing power with Cao Zhengchun.
After the Empress Dowager's death, he and Cao Zhengchun had turned from vicious dogs into tigers and wolves.
How could a mountain accommodate two tigers?
"Men." Zhao Gao's deep voice sounded again.
Swoosh!
A figure instantly appeared in front of Zhao Gao.
He had a strong physique and a vigorous blood aura.
The moment it appeared, it caused the temperature in the entire hall to drop.
This person was a peerless killer!
"My lord." A hoarse voice sounded.
"Yes." Zhao Gao nodded and ordered,"Cover the day and contact Li Si. I want to discuss with him about the court in three days!”
Cao Zhengchun had already started to make his move.
He naturally had to start preparing.
Zhao Gao was not just a eunuch.
In the imperial court, he was the secretary supervisor.
He was in charge of the entire country's library and arsenal!
"Yes!"
After the deep voice of the sun was heard, the figure disappeared without a sound.
Neither Zhao Gao nor Cao Zhengchun were alone.
In this Imperial City, they all had their own forces.
For example, Zhao Gao's Network and Cao Zhengchun's East Chamber.
These.
It was because they dared to touch the foundation of the imperial power!
just
What Zhao Gao didn't know was that the East Chamber had already changed hands.
Right now, he was only fighting with the air.
Turning the world upside down was not just a joke.
.............
At the Xia Palace.
Xia Ji sat on the dragon throne, his aura growing stronger.
The emperor's aura that was as deep as the ocean made the atmosphere in the entire hall solemn.
As the human-cats moved, more and more palace guards were replaced by their own people.
On the attribute panel, the National Fate column also began to grow.
"Attribute panel." Xia Ji said calmly.
Swoosh!
[Host: Xia Ji]
National Fate: 7%.
[Subordinate Faction: Human Cat Han Xuan (East Hall)]
[Items: 20 Grandmaster Pills]
[Summon Count: Can be summoned once!]
It was not difficult to see from the Attribute Panel.
Even if Cixi was killed and the palace was cleared, the country's fate would only increase by 3%.
From this, one could see how far the imperial power of Great Xia had fallen.
In fact, a large amount of the country's fate might have been stolen by the seven vassal kings.
Once Great Xia was destroyed, they would have the foundation to change dynasties and establish a new dynasty!
Even though there were already humans and cats who had started to control the harem and take over Cao Zhengchun's forces.
However, the chaos in the royal court had yet to be dealt with.
The six ministers and all the civil and military officials had never acknowledged him as the Human Emperor.
In fact, in their eyes, he had no prestige at all.
This would not do!
"Summon again. It's best if you can summon a prime minister."
Xia Ji narrowed his eyes.
The system would summon three categories: characters, cultivation techniques, and items.
And among these three categories, the probability of summoning a character should be the smallest.
This was because regardless of cultivation techniques or items, they were all dead objects.
He was able to summon the human-cat before because it was the novice gift bag.
If he could summon a prime minister this time…
He could then re-establish the rules and slowly take back the power from the hands of the six ministers.
The Great Xia implemented the system of three provinces and six departments.
He had never set up a prime minister. Although the left and right prime ministers were promoted by the previous emperor, they were still over 60 years old.
In addition, the power of the six ministers was increasing, which caused the position of prime minister to be useless.
Right now, it could be said that the six ministers had the final say in the entire court.
Xia Ji needed someone to suppress them all!
This would also allow him to quickly increase the fate of the country he controlled!
Do you want to summon it immediately?
The system's voice sounded again.
"Yes, sir!" Xia Ji did not hesitate.
As soon as he finished speaking.
A dazzling light appeared in front of him again.
There were countless cultivation techniques, items, and silhouettes of people flashing continuously within.
Amidst the endless light, a purple air current appeared before Xia Ji.
"A ball of Qi?" Xia Ji was stunned.
However, after sensing it carefully, he noticed that this ball of qi was unusual.
It was the purest Noble Spirit!
Ordinary Noble Qi was cloud-white in color, but this ball of Qi had already turned purple.
It was like purple qi coming from the east, carrying a brilliant righteousness!
Just as Xia Ji was guessing what the Righteous Purple Qi was.
The purple airflow condensed into a figure.
Then, the system notification sounded again.
It also allowed him to instantly understand what he had summoned this time!
