Chapter 28
The Empress Dowager Janite lost, but she could not have expected that the [Bone-melting Potion] given to her by the charlatan, was a version with a decrease in the concentration of the active ingredient by two-thirds, resulting in the medicinal properties that lasted only two hours.
Ford took the medicine at 8 a.m. and took the test at 11 a.m. It would be strange if he could blend together after more than three hours.
At this time, Zhou Ming also believed that Jenom was 100% not the bloodline of the former emperor, but the illegitimate son who had fooled with others.
The rumors he made were actually real facts, not innocent injustice.
Why do you say so?
Because the old lady's reaction was so strange.
On the one hand, he was looking for a solution everywhere, hoping to prove that Xiao Ford was the bloodline of the late emperor through cheating.
On the other hand, kill people to silence the wise man who was sent by Zhou Ming.
She was so guilty and tried her best to cover it up, which did not just prove that she had done something wrong?
If she really had a clear conscience and had a straight test, why should she take so many actions so that Zhou Ming could take advantage of the situation?
In short, the same thing is true. Zhou Ming’s ability to win is not because of his own awesomeness, but because his opponents are too bad, allowing him to find too many flaws and eventually defeat them one by one.
So Zhou Ming’s trick to win is not on himself, but on his opponents.
This is also the reason why he chose to inject this body after some analysis.
But there is another question, and some people will definitely be puzzled: in the two games of "assassination" and "rumor-making" set up by Zhou Ming, as long as "rumor-making" works, he will definitely win. Why should he increase the risk, share manpower, and set up two games at the same time?
In fact, Zhou Ming is also for the sake of safety.
Because of various uncontrollable factors, any planning and layout have a certain risk of failure, and the success rate cannot be 100%.
If the assassination fails, it depends on whether the rumors can succeed.
If the assassination and rumors fail, he will have a backup plan... In short, as long as he succeeds one or two sets of plans, the probability of his ascending to the throne will be greatly increased.
Fortunately, God is very proud of his face, and the two plans have been successful one after another, and the probability of him taking the throne was basically stable at 100%.
And we achieved the best results and eliminated two mountains.
One, after Jenom was killed, the biggest personal threat was gone, and Zhou Ming no longer had to worry. That day, the bowl of toxin meat soup would be brought to him.
Two, after the Empress Dowager Janet was disgraced, she could not continue to control the imperial government. After Zhou Ming ascended the throne, the biggest obstacle to taking over power was eliminated.
So a week later, after receiving the support of most noble ministers in the court.
The grand and grand ceremony of the new emperor ascension ceremony was held.
Under the gaze of everyone, 12-year-old Zhou Ming wore an imperial suit and sat on the throne of the emperor, and ruled the world!
He became the emperor of the Orunian Empire, ruled the 180 million square kilometers of land on the entire floating island and dominated the people of about 3 billion people.
But, does this mean that Zhou Ming has firmly sat on the throne?
He has all the supreme power of the empire?
Of course not.
He was just a 12-year-old young master. He was suspicious of the country, lacked prestige, and could not even interfere with national affairs. He could only let the elders of the royal family and the old and important ministers in the court handle it together. Zhou Ming was responsible for listening, studying hard, and then stamping his emperor seal on the imperial edict.
Because he cooperated positively, had a modest and serious attitude towards learning, and used seals very timely, the ministers in the court all gave him very positive comments, and many ministers gave him five-star praise.
Some ministers even sighed privately: "Good emperor, good emperor, Knox is many times better than that guy Genom."
In this way, less than two months after Zhou Ming ascended the throne, the upper class of the empire, which had been turbulent in the past, quickly stabilized and restored the peace that people expected.
But if this calm continues, sooner or later, Zhou Ming will become a puppet that powerful officials can randomly fiddle with.
If the emperor does not receive support from the family that plays a vital role in the empire and cannot control the power of decision for a long time, the emperor will become boring if he sits down.
But Zhou Ming is too young now, so it is not advisable to show that he is far older than his age too early. He has to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger for a while.
It cannot be like a rootless duckweed without any support from any family or resources.
So he had to win over some forces and consolidate his foundation.
who?
Who should he win over?
Lucis family.
Of course, it was the Lucis family, who had a huge power in the empire and had half of the military power.
If you don’t continue to show your grudges to this family, even if Zhou Ming’s identity is the emperor, it will be difficult for him to survive in the future.
So after taking some time, Zhou Ming came to visit the emperor's grandmother in the name of visiting the emperor's grandmother (the old lady moved out of the palace and returned to her family, but because she was too stimulating and was a little mentally ill and had not recovered yet), and came to visit King Lucis in person.
The name of King Lucis is Fored Lucis. He is 88 years old this year. He is a kind-hearted and beautiful old man and Zhou Ming's great-grandfather.
When he entered the King Jue Mansion, he had someone give him a gift. After visiting the emperor's grandmother in the ward, he accidentally stimulated the old lady. In the living room of the King Jue Mansion, Zhou Ming and King Lucis chatted alone for a while.
At first, the two of them didn't talk, but just drank tea and were silent for a while.
But as soon as the old Wang Jue spoke, he was shocking.
"Excellent, amazing. At a young age, he can survive in the PUBG, fight back continuously, defeat two powerful enemies in a row, clear out obstacles, and reach the highest position... This courage and wisdom, no one among the sixteen emperors can compare with you."
Old Wangjue sighed, his eyes full of shock.
"Ahem, ahem!"
Zhou Ming coughed twice suddenly and said in a confused look on his face: "Grandpa, grandson is a little confused about what you said." He pretended to be confused, but his heart skipped a beat.
But the old Wangjue continued to sigh: "I have guessed the purpose of your visit this time. Don't come at the most dangerous time, wait until you hold the throne firmly... Obviously, the Lucis family is not the charcoal you urgently need, but the flowers you need to add on the cake."
The old Wangjue's voice was filled with a hint of anger and began to say coldly: "Boy, you look down on the Lucis family too much, right?"
"Ahem! Ahem!"
Zhou Ming could only cough awkwardly, and smiled helplessly, "Grandpa, you're really thinking too much." But he was cursing in his heart: It turns out that he is getting more and more energetic as he gets older, and he meets an old fox again.
"Hmph! I'm still pretending to be confused with me. Boy, since I want to win over the Lucis family, I have to show some sincerity! Tell me yourself, what sincerity should I show?"
Old Wangjue asked glaring at him.
Zhou Ming shook his head slightly, sighed, bowed to the old Wangjue and said, "Just follow the sincerity that my great-grandfather wants me to show." Zhou Ming knew that from the moment he stepped into the king's mansion, everything was under the old Wangjue's plan.
"Hmph, I know the truth."
Old Wangjue clapped his hands and said to a screen furniture beside the window on the right side of the living room, "Alsa, come out."
After saying that, a young girl about thirteen or fourteen years old walked out from behind the screen. She was wearing a long yellow dress woven in silk, with a slim and graceful upper body, her jade arms as long as onions, her breasts were about to begin with. Her white and beautiful face impressed countless first-timers and her heartbeat was rapid.
Zhou Ming's eyes were full of appreciation. This girl was like Snow White in a fairy tale. From the perspective of appearance, temperament, behavior, etc., she was a little luoli who could score 95 points.
Of course, if you want to be excited, Zhou Ming has not reached that level, unless the comprehensive score is above 98 points.
"Ersa, tell Grandpa Zeng, what do you think of this kid?" Old Wangjue pointed at Zhou Ming and asked.
The girl looked at Zhou Ming and nodded lightly, "It's not bad, it's much better than that disgusting thing in Jenom." It turned out that what Jenom tried hard to pursue last time was this little luoli.
"Hey, Knox, you also say something, what do you think of Elsa?" Old Wang Jue asked Zhou Ming.
Zhou Ming stared at the girl in front of him for a while, took a breath, and said, "If I got her, I would build a golden house, put countless priceless gems and jewelry in the golden house, hide Elsa in it, and prevent people from stealing her."
As soon as this is said!
Old Wangjue's eyes lit up, and his face showed an extremely satisfied expression.
Elsa, who had an ordinary impression of Zhou Ming, heard these words and looked at him blankly, with two blush on her face and her heart jumped up.
He picked up the corner of his skirt and turned around and ran out of the living room.
"Hahahahahahahahaha!"
