After crossing over, he has no taboos among the zombies.

Chapter 423

If this falls, it will be a disaster.

The prince has been sucking on poisonous milk for more than ten years, and his health has long been in decline.

He was choked by the lake water and was trembling and unable to speak when he was pulled out.

But at this moment, a cold wind blew from nowhere.

Damn it, that’s all.

When Wei Zhongliang received the news, he was like a bolt from the blue.

Everyone was confused.

If there is anyone in this world who most hopes that the emperor will live a long life, it is him.

That must be Wei Zhongliang.

As a eunuch, all his power comes from the endorsement of imperial power.

Without the emperor behind him, Wei Zhongliang was like a plucked phoenix, nothing more.

Wei Zhongliang crawled to the lake and burst into tears.

He was really crying. He was half buried in the ground, crying like a child, with snot bubbles coming out of his nose.

After a long time, his trusted subordinates reminded him to plan for his funeral early.

Without a backer, you can lose your power, status and even your life.

Since ancient times, every emperor has his own ministers, let alone personal eunuchs.

Wei Zhongliang finally reacted and immediately ordered people to seal the palace gates, allowing only entry but not exit, and then urgently summoned his trusted advisors into the palace to discuss countermeasures.

However, during this discussion, they found that in order to continue to maintain their power and position, they had to establish an "obedient" emperor.

The best approach is to establish a young emperor so that he can control the government.

But the problem is that the emperor's son has no offspring and has no children left.

Then the only way is for the younger brother to inherit the throne.

The question arises again. The emperor has only one brother, Prince Xin, who is already an adult.

Prince Xin usually stayed at home and studied diligently. He was well-known in the court and the country, and they wanted to play him in their hands.

Wei Zhongliang had no confidence.

Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is the Donglin Party in the court.

If Wei Zhongliang dared to establish any other royal family branch as successor, it would be extremely difficult. Even if he succeeded, the Donglin Party would definitely not recognize it.

Moreover, Prince Xin had no blemish on his record, so there was no reason to stop him from succeeding to the throne.

Feiyuwei is not under his control.

Wei Zhongliang felt his scalp tingling when he thought that he could turn the tide by relying on the people around him. This was no different from seeking death.

Wei Zhongliang regretted it so much that his intestines turned green. He should have stopped the evil woman "Ke Shi" earlier.

His whole body was full of poison, not only causing the extinction of the emperor's lineage, but also killing him young.

Now, the prince is still young and strong and has walked ahead of him.

It’s all over!

Just when Wei Zhongliang was worried, something worse happened.

The next day, the Donglin Party got the news from somewhere and gathered at the palace gate, demanding to meet the emperor. They even accused Wei Zhongliang of concealing the news and having ulterior motives.

In the palace, Empress Zhang broke into the warm room and cried heartbreakingly while holding the emperor's body.

Now that things have come to this, the situation is hopeless.

Wei Zhongliang could no longer hide the truth.

Since we cannot establish another emperor, let’s quickly support a new emperor.

Since ancient times, following a dragon has been a great achievement.

After all, he and Prince Xin had no grudges against each other, and the two sides had no and could not have any interactions on a daily basis. Perhaps things could turn around. Without further hesitation, Wei Zhongliang and others acted separately, setting up the mourning hall while asking Empress Zhang for an imperial decree, and then rushing to Prince Xin's mansion to invite Prince Xin into the palace.

As soon as Wei Zhongliang made the decision, Donglin regretted that they were one step late and were preempted by Wei Zhongliang.

So, the confused Prince Xin was surrounded by Wei Zhongliang and hundreds of officials. He first went to the mourning hall to pay tribute to his brother, and then put on the dragon robe and sat on the dragon throne.

All the officials knelt on the ground and shouted "Long live the emperor!"

After burying his "imperial brother", Prince Xin officially ascended the throne and changed the reign title to Chongzheng.

In this way, the Dali Dynasty completed the transfer of imperial power amidst the turbulent times.

……

For the common people.

They were unaware of the undercurrent of the transfer of the throne. They only knew that a large group of eunuchs and officials went to Prince Xin's Mansion, and soon after, a notice of the new emperor's accession to the throne was posted.

There are bound to be some rumors, but they are just topics of conversation after dinner.

For thousands of years, it didn’t really matter who was the emperor.

Anyway, those who should eat dirt will continue to eat dirt, and those who should eat meat will continue to eat meat.

It's just that someone has changed sitting on the throne, there's no delay at all.

The only ones who are truly happy are probably the prisoners in jail.

The new emperor ascended the throne and issued a general amnesty.

Unless they are repeat offenders, they will be sent home.

Even the Feiyu Guards symbolically released a group of people.
