Daqing Hall is where the emperor held celebrations and enthronement ceremonies.

However, today was used by Ning Fu to summon the officials of the Song Dynasty. If nothing happens, he will officially ascend the throne tomorrow.

"Son-in-law, Cai Jing begs to spare his life. For this reason, he is willing to fully support your ascension to the throne!"

Before entering Daqing Hall, Liu Zheng approached Ning Fu again and said.

"No, although Cai Jing is the prime minister, his crimes are extremely heinous. Like Yang Jian, he is Zhao Ji's minion. Everyone in the capital hates him. If he is spared, the people will probably be angry."

Ning Fu shook his head very decisively.

"That's true, but Mr. Zhang is not in the capital, and General Xu is a tough guy. I'm afraid he won't submit?"

Liu Zheng also showed a worried look at the end.

Both Zhang Dun and Zeng Bu were not in the capital, and Cai Jing also had to answer questions. As a result, only General Xu had the highest prestige in the court. However, the other party was always known for his loyalty, so it was not easy to get him to submit.

"It doesn't matter, the overall situation has been decided now. Although the opinions of these ministers are important, they are actually not very important. If there is one less general, others will naturally be willing to surrender."

Ning Fu said calmly.

When Ning Fu and Liu Zheng arrived at Daqing Hall, they saw that all civil and military officials had been summoned to the hall.

These people had different expressions when they saw Ning Fu. Some were angry, some were afraid, some were flattering, but most of them were silent.

Ning Fu stepped up to the main hall and looked down at the group of ministers with his hands behind his back. He knew almost all of these people, and some of them had worked under him before, but now these people did not dare to look at Ning Fu.

"Ningfu thief, Your Majesty treats you well, why do you want to start an army and cause chaos?"

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a man suddenly rushed out of the crowd, pointed at Ning Fu and cursed angrily.

This was a young remonstrator. When he angrily rebuked Ning Fu, his face turned red and he looked very angry.

When the ministers saw such a stunned young man jumping out, their expressions were subtle for a moment. They planned to see how Ning Fu would deal with it?

Unexpectedly, Ning Fu was not angry at all, but smiled slightly and said: "The late emperor did treat me well, but how much did my ancestor trust Zhao Kuangyin back then, and even entrusted the entire kingdom of Zhou Dynasty to him? How could he?" In return?"

Ning Fu's rhetorical question immediately left the young censor speechless. After all, from this point of view, Ning Fu had the absolute upper hand in both emotion and reason.

"Gong Yan, hundreds of years have passed since then. Who can clearly explain the grievances and resentments? But now that you are a minister of the Song Dynasty, you have raised troops to attack the imperial city and imprison His Majesty. Isn't this a bit too much? Already?"

At this moment, Xu Jiang, who was standing at the front, finally stepped forward, looked directly at Ning Fu and asked.

"What you said, Master Xu, is wrong. You just brushed off the grievances of a hundred years ago because these grievances did not happen to you. For our Ning family, they are enemies of the country and the family. How can we forget it so easily?"

Ning Fu retorted again.

"Yes, General Xu, don't you feel too guilty for saying this? Back then, King Cao fled to Hebei to avoid disaster, hiding his name and determined to restore the country. Now, Your Majesty has finally overthrown the puppet Song Dynasty. As scholars, don't you know why? Is it called bringing order out of chaos?"

Liu Zheng suddenly stood up and pointed at General Xu and scolded him.

Seeing Liu Zheng, the former Minister of Dali Temple, the ministers had different expressions. Although they all knew that he was Ning Fu's father-in-law, but now from the meaning of his words, it seemed that Liu Zheng had already known about Ning Fu's origin, so he What role did it play in this mutiny?

"What Liu Guozhang said is absolutely true. I thought that this world belonged to your Majesty, and I hate that the puppet Song Dynasty usurped the throne. Now that your Majesty has inherited the legacy of your ancestors, you will eventually rule the world. I and others are willing to take the lead for your Majesty!"

At this moment, Lu Jiawen, the governor of Kaifeng, suddenly stood up and saluted Ningfu.

Lu Jiawen was originally a member of Cai Jing's party, but strangely, after Cai Jing was arrested, he did nothing. At this time, he was the first to support Ning Fu's ascension to the throne.

"Lu Jia asks you..."

Xu Jiang couldn't help but get angry when he heard Lu Jia's question, and immediately wanted to scold him.

Unexpectedly, Ning Fu suddenly interrupted: "Okay, I have called you here today not to argue with you. Now I will give you a choice. If you are willing to work for me, I will definitely use you. If

If you don't want to, you can leave now, and I will never stop you!"

As soon as Ning Fu's words came out, all the ministers below fell silent.

Of course they knew what Ning Fu meant, which was to make them choose between Song Dynasty and Ning Fu.

Although these people are all Song ministers, there are still a few who are truly loyal. The first consideration for many people is their own future. If they leave now, they may never want to enter the officialdom again in this life.

But if they don't leave, these people are also worried. Ning Fu only controls the capital now, and the various places in the Song Dynasty may not have received the news yet. If someone raises troops to help the king and Ning Fu is defeated, then they who are eager to take sides will

I'm afraid people will not end well either.

Therefore, due to the above considerations, most ministers showed tangled expressions.

Of course, there were also some ministers who chose to be loyal to the Song Dynasty and left immediately.

As expected, Ning Fu kept his promise and did not let anyone stop him or make things difficult for them. After all, everyone has their own ambitions. Ning Fu still admired these loyal ministers.

Of course, the most important thing is that these ministers often have a large network of connections behind them. Killing them will not only be of no use, but will make the connections behind them even more resistant to you.

Although Ning Fu was very dissatisfied with the political structure of the Song Dynasty, it was not the time to take action now. At least he had to wait until he controlled the country and stabilized it before taking action internally.

However, the people who left were in the minority after all, and the vast majority of them were still reluctant to give up the power in their hands. After all, most of them had studied hard for many years and were selected through the imperial examinations, and finally got to their current position. Of course, more

Hard to let go.

Even General Xu stayed after much hesitation, which surprised many people.

Ning Fu glanced at General Xu, but he knew that the other party might not be willing to submit, but just wanted to stand in court and stare at him.

However, Ning Fu will not care about this with General Xu. As long as the other party is willing to stay, it is enough, because General Xu is not alone. There must be many people who have the same idea as him.

"Very good. Since you are willing to follow me, I will allow you to prepare for the enthronement ceremony. Tomorrow I will ascend the throne and at the same time I will inform the world!"
