"How stupid, don't you understand now? The fifth elder and Commander Liao who guard the palace are originally from the eldest prince's camp. Without their help, how could Sister Hong's people sneak into the palace?"

"That's absolutely true."

"Isn't it rumored that the fifth elder and the second prince are close? Why did he become the eldest prince's friend again?"

"The fifth elder should have been in the camp of the eldest prince for a long time. He used to get closer to the second prince just for show."

"Damn it, we are being fooled around."

"It's over now. The elders and worshipers have been lured away by the eldest prince, and the palace has been banned. If we don't agree today, I'm afraid we will be dead in the meeting hall."

"The eldest prince has such a good plan. He first stirs up chaos in various places and makes the elders and worshipers tired of dealing with it. Then he lets the imperial army seal the palace."

"There is also an extremely powerful second elder sitting in the meeting hall, and we have all become turtles in the jar."

…

All the civil and military officials in the hall looked unhappy.

Now the escape route is cut off. If you don't agree, you will die.

Ministers who have managed to reach high positions don't want to die.

If you don't enjoy all the glory and wealth, why should you die?

After all, those who ascend the throne are members of the royal family, and no outsider ascends the throne.

The minds of the civil and military officials were changing a lot, and many people had already made their decisions.

"We respectfully invite His Highness the First Prince to ascend the throne and lead the Xia Empire to prosperity. Long live, long live, long live my emperor."

The first courtier bowed his head, followed by the second, the third...

Especially the officials of the eldest prince's faction knelt down for a long time.

The civil and military officials in the hall do not just represent a certain official position, most of them are the heads of a family.

More than two-thirds of the leaders of the big families in the Zhuxia Empire are officials in the main hall.

The surrender of the ministers also means the surrender of the families behind them.

"Hahahaha... I love you all."

Zihong couldn't help laughing when he saw a large number of courtiers kneeling in the hall.
