Chapter 752 Rebellion
"Speaker Sorag, can you be responsible for your own words?" Guluns immediately asked seriously.
"Of course, I have the edict from Her Majesty here!" He took out the edict and handed it to the Minister of Military Affairs for a closer look, and then passed it to everyone to look at it one by one!
In an instant, the big guys in the hall started to talk:
"Yes, it's indeed His Majesty's edict..."
"The seals and various anti-counterfeiting secrets are complete, not maybe they are impersonations..."
"Your Majesty is still alive and has not encountered any unexpected happenings..."
"What's going on right now..."
"Of course I was ordered, why might that Wang Guangchang come in a mess..."
The ministers' discussions became louder and more disdainful when they looked at Zhu Zhaoyuan!
Seeing that the situation was vaguely out of control, the fat man snorted coldly and pressed a signal transmitter hidden in his hand.
The palace gate suddenly opened, and countless elite awakened people wearing sealed light armor flocked in! The Sensen blade pointed at the ministers in the palace!
"You are the private army of...the eight major families?" Yu Gang was stunned, and then said angrily:
"Wang Guangchang, how dare you lead a wolf into the house! Collude with the forces of aristocratic families to plot magical artifacts, you... the rebellion of your empire!"
The heads of several major families who had never spoken before also showed disdainful expressions. Cheng Guiyun sneered and said, "Mr. Yu Gang, what you said is wrong! Are the eight major families also ministers of the empire? We have no other intentions, but now the empire has undergone a sudden change, and we are just waiting to support the new king and help the royal family stabilize the dynasty!"
Gulons reached out to press a signal controller in his pocket, but found that there was no response.
"Dear Minister of Military Affairs!" Cheng Guiyun said with a grim smile.
"The legions near the imperial capital will come in a short time, but the guards in the imperial palace have been taken down because of neglecting their duties! Therefore... you don't have to worry about it!"
"Dog thief..." Yu Gang was furious and suddenly punched him in the face!
"You... chopped me up this old thing!" The head of the Yun family was angry and roared with a blue face.
A Blood Cloud Guard rushed over and pierced his heart with a sword! This honest old minister was killed in the hall just like this! The bright red blood stained the jade star red!
"Bastard! What are you doing! How dare you..." Sorag cursed and was stabbed to death by a sword!
Zhu Zhaoyuan snorted coldly and asked, "Who else dares to dissatisfie?"
There was a dead silence in the hall.
Zhu Zhaoyuan already knew that at this time, she and Wang Guangchang had no way out! Therefore, they didn't care about their demeanor and influence, and they just saw it!
"Who else is not convinced?" She looked at the silent ministers under Yuxing and asked Senran.
"Empress Dowager, you are so arrogant and you... you will never succeed!" Foreign Minister Ryan hesitated for a moment, and then he mustered up the courage to speak.
Zhu Zhaoyuan waved her hand coldly: "Execute it!"
Immediately, a Blood Cloud Guard came over and killed him with a sword!
The first time I saw such a bloody scene, the legitimate prince Fang Yuan shrank a little fear, but under the cold eyes of his mother, he had to continue to maintain a righteous demeanor, bit his lips tightly, and his face was pale.
At this point, the ministers knew that in order to take the seat, this woman had already done everything she had to do! No matter what the final result was, it would not be the final result!
Three consecutive imperial officials fell in pools of blood, making the rest of them feel a little unsure and no one comes out to speak. However, it is psychologically difficult to accept that they will change their position immediately and support this vicious woman!
Yu Ming, everyone remained silent at the same time!
Wang Guangchang was a little honest when he saw the people present, and said with a smile:
"Everyone! Don't be so sensible! The legitimate prince is the bloodline of the late emperor, and it is legitimate to inherit the throne! Anyway, no matter who is on this throne, aren't we all ministers of the empire? Shouldn't we all be loyal?"
"As long as you express your support for the new emperor ascend the throne today, you will have the merit of supporting him! The Queen Mother is kind and will be rewarded without hesitation! Why do you have to be so stubborn to the end?"
The big guy still didn't say anything, and some officials looked at him with obvious contempt and disgust!
The gangster fat man snorted in private. These things that are not clear about whether they are good or bad. I still need you to help stabilize the political situation at the moment. Do you think I will stand here with such a good temper and discuss with you?
Look at your hypocritical appearance, what kind of virtue are behind your back? Don’t think I don’t know what I said! Apart from the three old antiques that just died, they are still honest. Do you living guys really take the word "conformity" seriously?
He stopped talking nonsense and ordered the eunuch to bring a table, then put a blank document on it, and said directly:
"Everyone! It's the day when the new emperor ascends the throne and celebrates the whole world! I won't say anything else, as my wish for the new emperor! Come and sign the letter of loyalty! From now on, you can still enjoy wealth and honor! There are still many unestimated benefits!"
"If there are still people among you who can't figure it out, hehe... I will have to be sorry!"
As he said that, he raised his hand and pointed at an official:
"You! Mr. Andur, come and sign it! As long as you stand on my side, you will still be the highest person in charge of the Tianhua Universe Regional Security Department from now on. The Queen Mother can also increase your title by two ranks, and all kinds of rewards will not be missing you! How about it?"
The official named Andur seemed a little hesitant, but when he looked back at the ministers staring at him, he shrank a little timidly again.
"This... Prime Minister! I..." He stuttered, as if he was about to bow his head, but he was also about to delay for a moment!
"Why? You refuse to agree?" Wang Guangchang said gloomyly.
Immediately! Two Blood Cloud Guards stood beside him with swords, silent.
Faced with the threat of death, the few who can truly face the face are ultimately a minority! Looking at the three courtiers whose blood was not yet dried up, Andur finally chose to surrender after a while of fighting for the trapped beasts!
"Okay! I... swear allegiance to His Majesty the Emperor!" He said with a harsh tone, and walked over and slowly signed his name on the loyalty document!
Wang Guangchang immediately changed his face and said happily: "Okay, okay! Mr. Anduer really knows the general idea! I and the Queen Mother here promise that the rewards you will be rewarded immediately! In the future, you will be bound to be with high officials and generous salaries!"
"Yes! Thank you, the Queen Mother, thank you, Prime Minister!" Anton said helplessly.
"Okay! It's your turn now!" Wang Guangchang looked at the others again and said with a slight smile:
"Come here one by one and sign the letter! Don't let me and the Queen Mother make things difficult!"
After a stalemate for a while, most court officials chose to surrender! They signed their own names on the document! However, not all people were willing to surrender to the tyranny of this fat man!
"Dear Minister of Military Affairs! Are you still unwilling to change your mind?" The fat gangster looked at Gulons, who was as deep as water, and said:
"As long as you promise to support Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has promised you a title! This is the only glory of the empire for thousands of years! What else are you not satisfied with?"
"King? To put it nicely!" Gulons snorted coldly,
"I can't bear such grace! The Tao is different and will not plan for each other! Therefore, I can only let the Queen Mother down!"
"You..." Wang Guangchang's face darkened, and then he clenched his eyes:
"Okay! Since you are not sure you can't figure it out at the moment, then go back and reflect! When will you get to know the truth? Let's apologize to Your Majesty!"
"Come on! Send the Minister of Military Affairs back home!"
Gulons glanced at him sarcastically, turned around and walked away with his head held high for a while, followed by three and a half hundred generals who refused to submit!
The Minister of Military Affairs is also a veteran of several dynasties, and his disciples and old friends spread throughout the empire! The power in the army is even more deeply rooted! It is definitely not a person who can be easily humiliated!
Although Wang Guangchang was arrogant and had a brain. Seeing that he refused to bow his head, he didn't dare to do anything to him immediately. He just forgot his position and took him back to the mansion to put him under house arrest!
Just this, under the threat of death, the senior officials of the Shufeng Empire finally reached a superficial commonality about the new emperor's ascension, and became a certain fact amid doubts at home and abroad!
Regarding this result, the senior executives of the eight major families were naturally happy to see it and gave them unlimited support! They even risked the infamy of rebellion and dispatched private troops to help Zhu Zhaoyuan control the situation in the imperial capital!
A minor child, plus a woman who is cruel and ruthless, has long hair and short knowledge! She can't control this huge empire at all! Even with Wang Guangchang's help, the same! At most, she can only keep her safe temporarily!
In order to usurp the magic weapon, he did not hesitate to cooperate with the eight major families! This stupid behavior of attracting wolves into the house was only due to Zhu Zhaoyuan's self-righteous strategy! Wang Guangchang could see that, but for his own personal gain, he chose to remain silent.
What's more, the empire is in a troublesome situation. Faced with various forces that are eyeing at home and abroad, what will happen in the end? Anyone with a little vision will guess in his heart!
Of course, this is only beneficial to the eight major families! Speaking of which a few years ago, after the emperors of the two dynasties spared no effort to suppress them, they lost too much benefits! Faced with such an opportunity that could turn the situation around and turn defeat into victory, why might the heads of the family miss it easily?
Cheng Guiyun was undoubtedly the happiest! Because of this, he regained enough support within his family race, and several venerables from Yuntianque, who had not yet seen him, began to favor him! His originally precarious status was as stable as Mount Tai!
Immediately afterwards, the proud and satisfied man and woman began to use their power, suppress and exclude dissidents without any scruples! All officials and superiors who refused to cooperate and had rifted with them in the past were arrested and imprisoned on various charges, and were punished by either being executed or exiled without trial!
However, in more than ten days, thousands of officials who were killed, demoted or exiled! The square in front of the imperial palace was already flowing into a river!
However, this is not the most important thing! In order to stabilize the power in his hands, under the secret instigation of the eight major families and under the cold eyes of Wang Guangchang, Zhu Zhaoyuan did not expect to start to have the idea of the imperial race!
In addition to the fifth princess Fang Mengyan who was already in the Kingdom of Swords, there were five princes and nine princesses, most of whom were underage children. They were poisoned to death one by one by this vicious woman, and even their mothers were not spared!
Then, dozens of close relatives with high prestige and influence in the royal clan race were imprisoned and killed by her in various names! Including Fang Yukun, who was already at home!
Such an approach undoubtedly aroused public outrage, and the royal family had no plans to fight back! However, in addition to being supported by the eight major families, this vicious woman also received the support of a group of mysterious strong men, and several assassinations ended in failure!
A group of generals from the royal family used to mobilize all the troops they could control and wanted to solve this woman in the form of a coup, but they were wiped out by the eight precautionary private armies!
Later, Zhu Zhaoyuan, who was crazy, simply did nothing and imprisoned all members of the imperial race in the imperial capital! All the people or forces who dared to question her legitimacy were ruthlessly erased!
In the bloody storm, the Shufeng Empire has embarked on a road of no return! The goal that the heads of the aristocratic families have not achieved even if they have worked hard to achieve, but this woman happily did it for them!
Under the hideous and excited gazes of the eight major families, the influence of the royal family has quickly dissipated with the deaths of many elite members! The mountain that has been pressing on them for thousands of years is beginning to collapse and collapse!
On an unstriking night, the heads of major families gathered together to reach several secret discussions that are unknown to outsiders on the future situation of the empire!
The heavens of the empire are about to change!
The Prison Soul Star Sea, which is nine thousand light years away, and the senior executives of the Sword Light Kingdom are also having the most fierce debate over the direction of the kingdom's subsequent strategic action!
In the cold night, in the palace.
On the open-air observation deck somewhere, Ye Qingyuan leaned alone by the carved white jade railing, looking up at the magnificent sea of stars above his head, silently.
The palace maids and guards who were attending the service had already avoided them, because at this time, the young Majesty did not like to be disturbed.
Whenever he feels upset, he will stay alone, looking at the vast starry sky to adjust his mentality.
The meeting had already ended, the subordinates dispersed, and the matters discussed had also come to an end.
Over the past three months, various changes that have occurred in the top leaders of the Shuofeng Empire have made the kingdom of the star sector face the most difficult choice since its founding! The powerful foreign aid in the past has now become the most dangerous enemy! And the kingdom's own fierce combat power is far from enough to fight against such a super-grade power!
On the other side of the Prison Soul Star Sea, the army of the Tiloya Empire then stalemates with the five forces. However, the imperial army has gradually gained the upper hand. It will take almost a short time to break through the natural danger of Skan Dongxing Abyss! It will enter the hinterland of the Prison Soul Star Sea!
Because of this, the most important task of the current Star Domain Kingdom is to speed up the expansion of its territory, so as to obtain a lot of resources in a short period of time, and to have enough strategic circumference to the void! To cope with the war that is about to come!
