"Song Qingyu, are you going to rebel?" Prime Minister Ping Kun scolded angrily, and all the officials' hearts trembled.

Song Qingyu looked calm: "I wonder what Prime Minister Ping thinks that Nan Chu should go next?"

Ping Kun's expression froze, and his eyes flashed: "The emperor's heir who was left outside should be found! The descendants of King Ping are still alive! The empress dowager will take charge and choose the virtuous to succeed the throne!"

Of course Ping Kun would say this. Because the Empress Dowager Ping is his aunt, and Emperor Chu and Chu Nanfeng are both his cousins. Chu Nanfeng's son became emperor with the support of the Ping family. The Ping family's status is only high and not low now!

Although Ping Kun himself had a position, he knew that he could not compete with Song Qingyu and could only bring out the descendants of the Chu family.

"Why didn't Prime Minister Ping mention rebellion and escape? What about King Ding Chu Mingyin, who is now missing?" Song Qingyu asked back.

"Chu Mingyin rebelled and caused trouble to the royal family. He killed many princes. Even if he was alive, he would be an unforgivable sinner!" Ping Kun said righteously.

"Chu Mingyin and Ping Wang's family were both rebellious. Prime Minister Ping believed that Chu Mingyin was not qualified to inherit the throne, and Ping Wang had descendants. Because, Ping Wang's son should call you a cousin!" Song Qingyu straightforwardly exposed Ping Kun's thoughts.

"You! Don't talk nonsense!" Ping Kun's face turned red, and naturally refused.

"Prime Minister Ping thought that what Nan Chu lacked the most now is the emperor?" Song Qingyu asked.

Ping Kun said coldly: "The country cannot be without a king for a day!"

"Very good, I agree with this sentence. So, now Chu Mingyin is not aware of his life and death, and the whereabouts of King Ping's son are unknown. Even if Prime Minister Ping wants to find them, he will not know when to find them. During this period, will there be no lord in Nan Chu?" Song Qingyu asked back.

"The Empress Dowager should also preside over the government affairs!" Ping Kun snorted coldly.

"The rules of Southern Chu, women should not interfere in politics." Song Qingyu said, "I need to remind Prime Minister Ping and everyone that Ye Ying's younger brother Ye Jing has long been kidnapped by Nangong Heng of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but the news was blocked by the late emperor."

All the officials' expressions changed!

They all thought that the alliance between Nanchu and Xixia was a foregone conclusion! So there was no need to be afraid of the Eastern Jin Dynasty! But unexpectedly, Emperor Chu could not even look down on Ye Jing, and was actually kidnapped by Nangong Heng!

"Southern Chu is in danger, it's ridiculous that the Chu royal family is just trying to kill each other. I have just seen that the emperor was strangled to death. In the past few days, only the queen mother, the queen, and the prince Chu Mingheng can approach the emperor. Please explain to me who is the one who strangled the emperor?" Song Qingyu asked coldly.

Ping Kun was sweating profusely on his forehead! He didn't know who it was, but the left was just one of the two between the Empress Dowager Ping, the Queen Xiaoping and Chu Mingheng!

"Chu Mingheng was greedy for beauty. Before the bones of the previous emperor were cold, he had a close meeting with Princess Beihu, Wanyan You, who was once his younger siblings, in the Imperial Garden, but was killed. Such a person died early, which was a blessing for Nan Chu!" Song Qingyu's eyes were still calm, "Whoever wants to compete with me for this position is now stand up! Anyone who dares to say that after sitting in this position, I can protect the peace of Nan Chu, and I can give you a chance!"

All the officials lowered their heads and remained silent. Even Ping Kun's face changed and he did not dare to speak. Only then did he know that Ye Jing was kidnapped by Nangong Heng. If the Ye sisters lost control, the alliance between Nanchu and Xixia failed, and offended the Eastern Jin Dynasty, would there be a way out next?

Who can have such confidence that he can save Nan Chu? Among the people present, the only person who is likely to save Nan Chu is Song Qingyu! He is the commander of Nan Chu and is in charge of military power. If a war begins, he can only take charge of the overall situation!

Many people suddenly remembered that the Ye family was in the capital and seemed to have only contacts with the Song family! Ye Ling's mother-in-law was Song Qingyu's godmother! Perhaps, this relationship could give Nan Chu a glimmer of hope to form an alliance with Xixia!

"General Song, if King Ping's descendants return in the future, will you abdicate?" Ping Kun looked unwilling and spoke again, "After all, General Song cannot have children, how can he be the emperor of Nan Chu? If it is to save Nan Chu, there is no need to sit in that position? Zhenbei Gong has been loyal to Nan Chu for the rest of his life. If you do this, does he agree?"

Other officials admire Ping Kun's courage, because at this time, he mentioned that Song Qingyu was a matter of breaking his sleeves!

"Come on, take down Prime Minister Ping!" Song Qingyu said coldly.

Immediately, two Golden Feather Guards appeared, one on the left and one on the right, pressing Ping Kun and kneeling down!

"You can't wait to eliminate dissidents? I don't accept it! I don't accept it even if I die!" Ping Kun looked angry.

Song Qingyu looked at Ping Kun and said, "I said that those who do not accept it will die. However, I will give you a 'justice' to the Ping family. The old emperor said that Concubine Rong was framed. The dragon robe found by the Rong family, and the old emperor said, was also framed. Concubine Rong poisoned the former emperor. Now it seems that there is a possibility that he was framed. Wanyan You had a grudge with Chu Mingyin and had a private collusion with Chu Mingheng. I have reason to suspect that the matter between Concubine Rong and Chu Mingyin was the joint efforts of Chu Mingheng and Wanyan You. The dead princes may also be killed by using a knife."

Ping Kun's face changed, and Song Qingyu continued: "What is certain now is that the cause of death of the late emperor was not poisoning, but was suffocated by someone's neck. The murderer was inseparable from the Queen Mother, the Queen and Chu Mingheng. In order to avoid Wanyan You's rebellion, I will send someone to find out these things and give the late emperor an explanation. How much did your Ping family participate? I think Prime Minister Ping should be very clear in his heart! If I say that I don't agree, die, do you accuse me of eliminating dissidents and acting arbitrarily? In fact, I want to eliminate those who really harm Nan Chu behind their backs for their own selfish desires! Because now, those who don't agree with me have their will to make Nan Chu go to a dead end!"

Song Qingyu's words made Ping Kun's face change again and again, and his head slowly hangs down. The art of disgusting victory and the Dragon Robe have nothing to do with the Ping family. But the poison imposed on the Emperor Chu was found by the Ping family. As long as Song Qingyu believed that it was the Empress Dowager Ping and strangled the Emperor Chu to death, everything would be over!

"Drag Ping Kun down, the Ping family will be sent to the Heavenly Prison! The Empress Dowager and the Queen are both suspected of murdering the emperor, and they will be sent to the Heavenly Prison together!" Song Qingyu was not polite at all, and did not give the Ping family any chance to turn things around.

And what he said just now seemed to be saying to Ping Kun, but in fact he was warning the other officials! Even the Ping clan had such a fate. If you want to die, just stand up!

Besides, Song Qingyu's words were convincing. Many officials present knew in their hearts that the death of Emperor Chu and the bloody storm of the Chu royal family were created by the Queen Mother, Empress, and Chu Mingheng, who joined forces with the Ping clan! They were not wronged at all!

It would be fine if Chu Mingheng was alive. He was justified and no one could do anything to him. But the ridiculous thing was that this pervert actually died at the hands of a woman.

At this time, people who insist on maintaining the royal power of the Chu family will not have anyone else except stakeholders like Ping Kun.

Even the old ministers who were the most stubborn dogmatic chose not to say a word. It was not that they recognized Song Qingyu as the emperor, but that they had no other choice unless they ignored the safety of the country in order to abide by the ancestral system and the Chu royal family who were killing each other and going to perish.

However, Song Qingyu is a broken sleeve, which is an unavoidable question.

Without mentioning others, Song Qingyu said calmly: "If I have no descendants in this life, I will choose a wise man to pass on the throne. As long as your descendants are outstanding enough, they may have the chance to obtain this throne. What do you think?"

The officials of Nan Chu looked at each other, which was too shocking! But everyone's heart was a little lively and excited. If Song Qingyu really had no descendants in the future, their descendants would be selected...

The first official knelt down and shouted long live.

Soon, all the officials knelt down and bowed to the new emperor.

Empress Dowager Ping and Empress Xiaoping fainted when they saw Chu Mingheng's death. They just woke up and were arrested and sent to the Heavenly Prison!

Song Qingyu did not forget that there was also a legitimate princess Chu Lingyun, who naturally went to the Heavenly Prison with her closest mother and the emperor's grandmother!

After entering the Tianzhu, Empress Dowager Ping saw the Ping family. He heard Ping Kun curse and said that Song Qingyu was trying to seize the throne, and then he realized what had happened.

Pingshi shouted, cried and made a fuss, and was about to die! Unfortunately, it was meaningless!

It's dawn.

The weather has changed.

When the news spread, the people were confused.

Originally, today was the day when Chu Mingheng ascended the throne, but unexpectedly, overnight, Nan Chu no longer had a surname Chu, but changed his surname to Song!

Song Qingyu guided public opinion and made a big splash about what Chu Mingheng and the Ping clan did. They were the real monarch-killing and usurping the throne, but they just failed.

For the people, what they really care about is never the noble emperor’s surname, but whether they can live a stable life, whether they are food and clothing, how much tax they are imposed every year, what they eat for the next meal...

Song Qingyu has made military achievements, and there is nothing wrong with being criticized for being a broken sleeve. The demise of the Chu royal family is the only correct choice for the throne, because no one else can support the mess of Nan Chu!

Southern Chu became Southern Song Dynasty.

After Song Qingyu's rapid deed of most of the red tape, the officials of the Ministry of Rites officially ascended the throne and changed the country's name to Song Qingyu.

In this way, Nanchu changed its dynasty overnight. The lives of the people were no different from yesterday.

With Song Qingyu's order, the purge in the palace began.

The two remaining concubine princesses from the Chu royal family were not executed. Song Qingyu issued an order to let them practice in Huguo Temple for the rest of their lives and pray for blessings for the Southern Song Dynasty.

If they want to live, this is the best ending. Because they lose the shade of the royal family, they are wandering outside and have no support, and they will soon be gnawed to death. And if they want to get married, no one dares to marry them.

The women in the harem were dealt with the same as those two princesses.

Within one day, the palace was empty, leaving only Song Qingyu, the master.

At night, Song Qingyu left the palace and returned to Zhenbei Gong Mansion. When he saw Wen Min, he looked as usual and called out: "Mom."

Wen Min looked at Song Qingyu, but tears fell.

Song Qingyu frowned, went forward, and held Wen Min's hand: "Mom, what's wrong? It's my fault. I should have told me some things earlier, but I just don't want to make my mother worried. Now, it's all okay."

Wen Min hugged Song Qingyu, patted him on the back, and cried, "A Yu, why are you so stupid! Why are you so stupid? Why are you so unthinkable and going to be the emperor? From now on, all those swords and swords will come to you! You should listen to me, let's find a place to live in seclusion..."

Song Qingyu sighed slightly: "Mom, the world is so great that it is the king's land. It's not that you can't live in seclusion, but that cannot fundamentally solve the problem. It is safe to hide, but it is for a while. Only by being strong can you truly gain peace and freedom. I have taken over the mess in Nanchu. Please believe me, I will do it well."

"Mom is just afraid something will happen to you..." Wen Min said, wiping her tears, "Mom is the only son like you, so how can the throne be easy to sit on?"

"Actually, it's quite comfortable to sit. Do you want to try it?" Song Qingyu joked with Wen Min.

Wen Min was so amused and angrily, and gave him a look: "What are you talking about? I don't want to be the queen mother!"

"Mom, don't think too much. The palace is empty. My mother, the empress dowager, doesn't have to worry about anything. She wants to live in the palace and live in the house. Or, everything is as usual, it doesn't matter. If I become the emperor and still be bound by the rules left by the Chu royal family, what's the point? All the rules of the Southern Song Dynasty are determined by us." Song Qingyu said.

Wen Min sighed: "A Yu, I just hope that you will take care of yourself no matter at all times. No matter what you do, don't lose your true intentions."

"I remember my mother." Song Qingyu nodded slightly.

The next day, the Emperor's Bill posted a notice, making the process of Chu Mingheng's greed for beauty and being used by Wanyan You, colluding with the Ping clan to destroy the Chu royal clan, and making it public.

One by one, the ins and outs are very clear, reasonable and convincing.

Song Qingyu was completely out of the matter. In the years and decades after that, when someone mentioned the former Southern Chu, when talking about the demise of Southern Chu, he would sigh and sigh: "You can't live if you commit sins!"

Chu Mingyin is not dead yet.

Moreover, he was sitting in the teahouse directly opposite the imperial list, with the windows open, and he could see the content of the imperial list and hear the people's comments.

Chu Mingyin did not wear a mask or disguise because there was no need. Wanyan You scratched a lot of blood on his face, and after stopping the bleeding and scabs, he was beyond recognition.

Chu Mingyin could speak, but he dared not.

He showed his identity, no one would save him, only someone would arrest him.

He said that the person around him was Wanyan You. Before Wanyan You were caught, he would definitely kill him. Wanyan You and Song Qingyu secretly colluded, and even if they were caught, they would escape safely.

If he had made a loud voice and said that the mastermind behind everything was Song Qingyu, no one would believe him, only someone would regard him as a lunatic.

In short, as long as he acts rashly, no matter what he does, he will accelerate his death.

Wanyan You wanted Chu Mingyin to experience the pain of losing everything, Chu Mingyin truly realized it! The pain is not to live! The most tormenting thing is despair. It is despair that knows that he will die, but he hopes to get a glimmer of hope, so he is suffering!

"Song Qingyu is very awesome." Wanyan You dressed up in disguise and sat opposite Chu Mingyin, looking at the imperial list, and said with a faint expression, "The former Nanchu was full of talents, but unfortunately, the royal family was too incompetent."

Chu Mingyin withdrew his gaze, his face turned gloomy, and his hand holding the teacup had its blue veins protruded.

Wanyan You said slowly: "I found that the people of your Chu royal family have one thing in common. They are not very capable and have a lot of scruples. Your father clearly relied on the Ye family to hold the throne, but he refused to admit it. He thought he was very capable and arranged for the Ye sisters to marry him. Chu Mingheng is dedicated, only loves beauty, and thinks with his lower body to think. What's ridiculous is that your father actually made a person like him. After being the crown prince for so many years, he was still complacent. This is a tempering and protection for you? As for you, you were not even a crown prince at the time, but you were thinking about the throne and felt that your child was half of the Northern Hu bloodline, which had a bad impact on you? Chu Mingyin, you are just an incompetent, inferior, selfish, cold-blooded and despicable person! Look at Song Qingyu's strength and methods, you should be ashamed of yourself!"

"At this point, what do you say!" Chu Mingyin said coldly.

Wanyan You sneered: "I suddenly thought, wouldn't it be more interesting to let you live in pain than to die happily?"
