Chapter 248 Taking the Imperial Capital

As Xiao Jiyun finished speaking, dozens of powerful people suddenly appeared behind him. These people all had unique skills and were majestic, and they were obviously all masters of the Grandmaster level.

Xiao Tingxuan narrowed his eyes, looked carefully, and raised his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile.

He was still wondering how Xiao Jiyun had the courage to climb the tower and confront him.

At this moment, seeing the many masters standing behind him, the answer was self-evident.

At the same time, Xiao Tingxuan could also think that Xiao Jiyun was able to recruit so many Grandmasters at one time, which meant that the palace had completely fallen into his control.

It must be said that Xiao Jiyun did have some means, and compared with the two wastes, the prince and Xiao Tianyu, his strength was indeed better.

However, Xiao Tingxuan did not take the opponent's formation seriously at all.

Do you think that you have the confidence to win because of the large number of Grandmasters?

Xiao Tingxuan sneered and shouted loudly: "Where is Li Yifan?"

His voice was like thunder, echoing in everyone's ears.

Just as Xiao Tingxuan finished speaking, a figure appeared in front of him like a ghost.

The person who came was Li Yifan. He clasped his fists and saluted, and replied respectfully: "I am here!"

Xiao Tingxuan's eyes flashed a trace of severity, and he ordered Li Yifan: "Let them see your true strength."

"Yes!"

After receiving Xiao Tingxuan's order, Li Yifan did not hesitate to release his golden body pressure completely.

The golden body realm, this is comparable to the momentum of the golden elixir. After Li Yifan's cultivation burst out without reservation, this pressure is simply terrifying, like an insurmountable mountain, pressing on everyone's heart, making Xiao Jiyun's people completely unable to move.

From this, it can be seen that the gap between the grandmaster and the golden body is as huge as a natural moat.

"This... This pressure surpasses the existence of a grandmaster."

The powerful men around Xiao Jiyun were overwhelmed by Li Yifan's momentum and were horrified.

They never dreamed that Li Yifan's strength had reached such a terrifying level, above the grandmaster.

This is a hammer, it's just a slaughter. If they had known this, they shouldn't have come.

At this time, Xiao Jiyun was completely in a daze. He knew nothing about the realm above the grandmaster. He only knew that there were so many masters on his side, how could he be suppressed so easily by Li Yifan, a young boy?

You guys should get up and fight back!

Xiao Jiyun was extremely anxious in his heart. He originally thought that with the help of his ancestors, he would be able to win by destroying Xiao Tingxuan.

And just now, he also vowed to fight Xiao Tingxuan to the death.

However, before the battle began, all the strong men on his side had already lost their temper.

So far, Xiao Jiyun still doesn't know where he lost. He lost everything inexplicably without even the slightest sign.

"Open the city gate and enter the city!"

Seeing that all the people on Xiao Jiyun's side were suppressed by Li Yifan's momentum and were unable to resist, Xiao Tingxuan no longer delayed time and directly ordered people to enter the city to open the city gate so that the army could enter the city smoothly.

The feeling of having a top strong man is really wonderful. Just relying on the power of one person, it can be equivalent to millions of soldiers.

The army successfully entered Kyoto, and Xiao Tingxuan's first stop was naturally the Imperial City.

It was at this time that something interesting happened.

When Xiao Tingxuan just arrived at the Imperial City, he was surprised to find that the civil and military officials had already lined up neatly in front of the Imperial City Gate waiting. When they saw Xiao Tingxuan leading the army, all the civil and military officials immediately knelt down in front of Xiao Tingxuan, and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty, we welcome you!"

"???"

Seeing this scene, a series of question marks instantly appeared in Xiao Tingxuan's mind.

Really good guys, you guys really know how to judge the situation.

I just defeated Xiao Jiyun, and I haven't had time to do anything to him, and you guys started to support me as the new monarch in an instant.

Seeing them like this, Xiao Tingxuan finally understood why Xiao Jiyun could play the whole court once I passed away. It seems that these officials are fence-sitters who follow the wind and play the concept of a new emperor and a new minister to the fullest extent.

"Please get up quickly, everyone!"

Seeing the civil and military officials take the initiative to surrender, Xiao Tingxuan chose to accept it with pleasure.

Although he was not satisfied with these officials, it was unrealistic to replace them all in a short period of time, otherwise, the operation of the country would be paralyzed.

Judging from the current situation, the country still needs to rely on them to operate normally.

After Xiao Tingxuan has trained the staff, he will replace them one by one, and finally allow them to retire and return home.

If there are any horse bandits killing and robbing on the road, it can't be blamed on Xiao Tingxuan.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

When the civil and military officials saw Xiao Tingxuan accepting them, the stone hanging in their hearts fell to the ground.

Now that the civil and military officials have taken the initiative to surrender, the imperial city has also fallen into the hands of Xiao Tingxuan.

This means that all obstacles on Xiao Tingxuan's way to the supreme position have been cleared. Next, he only needs to complete a few more things, and then Xiao Tingxuan can announce to the world and choose a day to hold the coronation ceremony.

The first thing to do is to clean up the palace.

Xiao Tingxuan didn't want to be locked by a maid while sleeping, or his words in the last second were spread out of the palace in the next second.

For those maids and eunuchs who were clean and had never made mistakes, Xiao Tingxuan chose to keep them.

As for the rest of the people, they were dealt with according to the specific circumstances. There were only two outcomes: either they were executed or they were expelled from the palace and left to fend for themselves.

The second thing to do was to relocate the concubines of the previous emperor.

According to the ritual system of the Great Zhou Dynasty, most concubines should be buried with the emperor.

However, Xiao Tingxuan believed that the act of burying with the emperor was a bit cruel and inhumane, and that he would need to make changes in the subsequent code after he ascended the throne.

So, Xiao Tingxuan decided to release them all, even the queen.

In the current Great Zhou, no one can pose a threat to Xiao Tingxuan.

He has wiped out all the aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River, and now only the aristocratic families in the north are left.

Xiao Tingxuan hopes that they can be more stable and not cause trouble for him. Otherwise, Xiao Tingxuan doesn't mind sending people to the north to make them disappear from this world completely.

Therefore, whether to release the queen or not has little impact on Xiao Tingxuan.

On the contrary, releasing the queen will win Xiao Tingxuan a reputation.
