Chapter 21 The Chaos of the Eight Kings
"Yes, Her Majesty the Queen, we can still serve the Great Zhou Dynasty, and please believe us."
"I swear to serve the Great Zhou Dynasty to the death, and I will never refuse!"
The three of them immediately knelt down and said in unison. Those who didn't know thought that the three of them were really the kind of extremely loyal ministers of the country.
But Jun Yanran naturally knew the little tricks in their hearts.
The atmosphere in the entire palace hall also became a little solemn. Everyone knew what Jun Yanran meant, so they were afraid that a disagreement might cause a rebellion.
Jun Yanran knew that these people would never hand over the military power so easily, but Jun Yanran did not make any move at this moment, and her face was still calm, saying, "I am very pleased that the three beloved ministers can think about the country so much. So in the future, I will ask my beloved ministers to contribute to the Great Zhou Dynasty."
"I obey the order."
At this time, all the civil and military officials present breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Jun Yanran still did not have the courage to fight against these kings.
Many civil and military officials here also support Jun Yanran very much, but they are also very aware of the power of these kings who have their own proprietary places outside.
Even Jun Yanran, as the queen, could not fight against these kings and join forces.
Although they actually agree with Jun Yanran's decision to completely control the imperial power in their own hands, Jun Yanran has only been in power for more than a year now.
It is obvious that this is not something that can be accomplished in a short time when you want to deal with these kings who have already controlled the military power and take back all their military power.
However, if it is not so decisive, then it will be difficult for the Great Zhou Dynasty to have a good development by continuing to allow these powerful ministers who hold heavy troops to act recklessly.
So this is a very difficult thing to do.
Jun Yanran is not the first queen to take back the military power of these powerful ministers.
He used to be the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty and wanted to do this, but it ended up being left alone.
Some people have to obey these powerful ministers in order to hold the throne, and can only be a puppet emperor and do nothing for the rest of their lives.
Some of them were wise rulers who wanted to use tough measures, but they were all forced to take the throne.
So if Jun Yanran does this now, it is undoubtedly an extremely risky approach, and may even lose her life.
.....
After the banquet.
All civil and military officials dispersed.
The three princes were also preparing to leave the palace.
When I just walked to the gate of the palace, I saw a man blocking them.
It was no one else, but Nie Hong, the general of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
"Three princes, Her Majesty the Queen invites the three palaces of cultivation to speak, please."
The three of them looked at each other and said, "I understand, let's go."
After all, they are not afraid of Jun Yanran at all now. They dare to conclude that Jun Yanran dares not do anything to them, so they are also fearless.
If Jun Yanran wants to find them, she must say something good to consolidate her imperial power.
Because in the eyes of the Eight Kings, any emperor or queen is just a puppet in their hands, and they have no ability to take away their military power.
So there is no other way than to please them and the kings.
Soon, the three of them also came to the Yangxin Hall and saw Jun Yanran standing there, and the three of them were also polite.
"See Her Majesty the Queen."
The superficial face is still to be given, after all, Jun Yanran's identity is the queen.
Jun Yanran said, "Take it."
After the words came, many soldiers rushed out of the surrounding area, and they directly surrounded the three of them.
"Her Majesty, what do you mean?"
Jun Yanran said, "Three dear ministers, since they are unwilling to hand over the military power, they will be wronged and live in this palace for a while."
"you!"
The three of them originally wanted to be tough, but then they thought about it and gave up.
On the one hand, because this is in the palace, since Jun Yanran wants to take them, she must be prepared. They are also relying on their fearlessness, so they do not have so much defense.
Although it is very simple to subvert the imperial power if the Eight Kings join forces, there are only three of them now, and they are still in the palace.
So they knew that even if they resisted, they were definitely not the opponent, so they simply gave up.
Anyway, even if Jun Yanran puts them under house arrest in this palace, she doesn't dare to do anything.
"Her Majesty, I advise you to think clearly, but don't do stupid things."
"We are wholeheartedly devoted to the Great Zhou Dynasty. If you arrest us, wouldn't it disappoint those loyal ministers who are loyal to the Great Zhou Dynasty?"
Jun Yanran said, "Is that true? If you want to be a loyal minister, you can hand over the military power in your hands. For the contributions of your ancestors, I will not blame the things you have done over the years."
"If Her Majesty the Queen must impose false charges on us, then we have nothing to say. Military power is what our ancestors have fought for. We cannot hand over the glory of our ancestors."
The three of them have a good idea of the fallacies and evil sayings. If they don’t know what they have done behind their backs over the years, they will really treat them as loyal ministers.
Just relying on support and bewitching Jun Jingsheng to attack the other countries was enough for them to die ten times.
Jun Yanran said coldly: "Everything is sent to the prison."
"Abide by the order!"
......
All over the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The news that the three of them were detained also reached the ears of the remaining people.
"It seems that Jun Yanran is already hard, so she is unkind, so we can only be unrighteous and force the palace to be forced to do so. If we don't join forces and fight each other, Jun Yanran will beat us all in one place."
Jun Yanran's actions did surprise everyone.
However, in their opinion, Jun Yanran's approach is very stupid. She is not afraid of tigers when she is just starting out, but she will be eaten by tigers after all.
"That's right, now everyone should work together. We cannot force Jun Yanran to abdicate first for their own interests."
"So who should support him?"
The five people looked at each other, and the King of Chu said, "Then let's support the Thirteenth Prince."
The Thirteenth Prince is very young, only ten years old. In the hands of these powerful ministers, he is like a puppet. So if he supports such a prince to the throne, it would be a great idea for them.
"Well, that's it."
"By the way, I'll ask someone to inform the three nephews, and set out in two days to join us in the imperial city."
"good."
Although the three kings were imprisoned, they did not carry their military talismans with them, and they also kept them with them and placed them with their eldest son.
If something unexpected happens, then all the soldiers will be handed over to the eldest son to rule.
.....
Nie Hong said: "Her Majesty, King Runan and others have entered the palace."
On the fifth day of capturing the three kings, the other five kings and three eldest sons of the captured king came to the palace together.
Jun Yanran nodded, and a firm expression appeared above her beautiful face.
“Everything goes as planned.”
