Chapter 1046 The Throne Transfer
King Ping, who had not eaten anything for three or four days, shouted hoarsely: "Heaven wants to kill me!"
He sat down on the ground in despair, like a stray dog. The high spirits he had a few days ago were gone!
At the old prince's command, soldiers poured into the city and the palace like a tide and quickly occupied the entire capital and the imperial palace.
Inside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the retired emperor sat on the dragon throne, the emperor leaned crookedly on the soft couch on the right, the old prince sat on the brocade stool on the left, and Qiao Ran and Mo Beihan stood behind him.
All the officials paid their respects with trembling fear and stood solemnly on both sides.
The emperor was almost exhausted and had almost no strength left. He could only keep his eyes open and look at the prince who was being forced to kneel, his eyes were complicated.
The retired emperor ordered the eunuch to read out the imperial edict, which enumerated all the evil deeds that Prince Ping had committed in his rebellion. In the end, he poisoned him and made him mute. He was then exiled to guard the imperial mausoleum, never to return to the capital again.
King Ping collapsed on the ground, no longer having the strength to beg for mercy.
Now he only regretted that he did not have the heart to poison his grandfather and father to death, so that he could sit on the throne directly, control the military power with thundering means, and kill all his brothers and sisters who intended to compete for the throne. Then, no one would come to compete with him for the throne.
As if seeing the unwillingness in his eyes, the Supreme Emperor immediately issued an edict, saying that he was old, the Emperor was in poor health, the Seventh Prince and Prince Ping were plotting a rebellion, and there was no suitable successor among the royal descendants.
Moreover, before the founding of the country, he had already discussed with the old Prince Dingbei about the rotation of the throne.
Therefore, the throne should be passed to the Dingbei Palace, and his lineage will never inherit the throne again!
As soon as the imperial edict was issued, two lines of hot tears flowed from the emperor's eyes and he slowly closed his eyes.
Because Mo Beihan was unwilling to be the emperor, the throne could only be occupied by the old prince who was still strong and healthy.
Then, the retired emperor gave up the throne and exchanged seats with the old prince.
Everyone shouted "Long live the emperor" and the handover of the throne was initially decided. The official coronation date was set for an auspicious day three days later.
Dai Viet Dynasty, this is a real change!
After the court session, Qiao Ran and Mo Beihan followed the old prince back to the Dingbei Palace.
Butler Zhou was worried about the old prince, so he followed him back to Zhongzhou and took care of the old prince's food and daily life along the way.
After returning to the palace, Butler Zhou took over his son's job and managed the palace in an orderly manner.
Although he had just returned to the palace, Butler Zhou directed the servants to arrange all the tables, chairs and furniture in the palace neatly and clean them until they looked shiny. The entire palace was now many times brighter than before.
It's not that Butler Zhou didn't manage well in the past. It's really because there was only one master, Mo Beihan, in the mansion before, and he was often not in the mansion, running away for ten days or half a month. So although the servants in the mansion were responsible, they only did their job well and didn't put in any special effort.
Butler Zhou is different. He knows that his prince will definitely be the future emperor, and the crown prince will soon be crowned king, and the future crown prince's wife will soon marry into the family, so he must put in a lot of effort to manage this mansion, right?
Seeing that the future Crown Prince's Consort had indeed come to the mansion, Butler Zhou was very happy and quickly asked the servants to take out all the delicious cakes and fruits and place them on the table next to Qiao Ran.
Because one table was too small, he asked people to move two more tables. There was a table full of fruits and snacks on the left, right and in front of her, which made her laugh and cry.
Butler Old Zhou is very grateful to the future Crown Prince's Consort. He knows that if there were no future Crown Prince's Consort, his own prince might have been plotted against by a villain and would never wake up again.
His own prince was hunted down and seriously injured two years ago and has never returned, let alone getting married and having children to continue the royal family.
Therefore, Butler Zhou not only respected Qiao Ran as his future master, but also regarded her as a great benefactor of the Dingbei Palace and the great benefactor of his entire family!
