Chapter 2: Puppets and Sacrifices
After the darkness, Zhou Mingrui asked in a low voice: "Xiao Dezi, are all the powerful ministers above the court?"
If Zhou Mingrui is a puppet, then the ministers who control him should kneel three times and bow nine times in the court.
It shows that this person still has to pay attention to etiquette, not to the point of ignoring the imperial power and not worshiping the emperor, and has not yet reached the kind of Cao Cao, even the emperor's life is in his hands.
Wang Baode hurriedly responded: "There are no officials on leave today, a total of 569 ministers are all above the court. ”
Zhou Mingrui nodded, thinking that things were not so bad.
Half an hour passed, and the ceremony of three kneeling and nine bows was finally completed.
Zhou Mingrui followed Wang Baode's prompt and waved his hand to an old eunuch next to him.
The old eunuch bowed and nodded, turned to face the many ministers, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Go to court!"
When many ministers heard this, they hurriedly knelt down again.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
"Flat!" Zhou Mingrui waved his hand.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The ministers stood up and took their positions, and the early dynasty finally began.
At this time, the old eunuch then shouted: "There is a book to start playing, but there is no book to retreat." ”
The voice just fell.
The minister who led the court suddenly walked out of the team and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has something to do." ”
Wang Baode whispered in Zhou Mingrui's ear to tell the identity of this person, who was Li Chengsheng, the prime minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the first auxiliary minister designated by his father.
The prime minister is the head of the civil officials, and he is also the identity of the first auxiliary minister, and he can be above 10,000 people under one person, is it that this person supports himself as the emperor and has ordered the world?
Zhou Mingrui squinted at Li Chengsheng and said, "Quasi-play!"
Li Chengsheng clasped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, in the past two years since the revival of spiritual energy in the world, martial artists have frequently awakened their supernatural powers and frequently broken through the ranks. The chaos in the world is inevitable, the internal sect forces do not listen to orders, and the external Western Chu Dynasty, Han Wu Dynasty, Great Qin Dynasty, etc., are eyeing each other, and they can wave their troops to kill at any time and slaughter the city and destroy the country!"
Zhou Mingrui was taken aback, it turned out that he had only traveled to ancient times in the future, but he didn't expect to travel to the fantasy world with aura revival.
Li Chengsheng paused, and then said, "Your Majesty, among them, the Han Wu Dynasty and the Great Qin Dynasty all have sixth-order martial artists. And only a few of the country's martial artists have broken through the fifth order, and they don't obey orders. The minister thought that he should give up the name of the country and choose one of them to surrender, so as to avoid the army and the disaster, so that the people can avoid the disaster of blood and light, and the suffering of war. ”
What does this mean, betraying the country for glory? Or is there an invasion of the enemy!
The Great Zhou Kingdom has been in chaos to such a point, and they are all discussing surrendering to the enemy in the court, shouldn't they fight to the death when the enemy country is attacking?
Whether this Li Chengsheng is a powerful minister or not, he must be a traitorous minister, and he just wants to betray the country for glory.
Zhou Mingrui sighed that he was addicted to the emperor, and he hadn't done enough!
Before Zhou Mingrui could say anything, he heard another loud voice sounding above the court.
"You rebellious ministers and thieves, and you are here to confuse the people! If it weren't for the emperor who put you in the position of prime minister. How can you have today, every day I don't know how to be grateful to the emperor's Shenglong, and always want to lose the foundation of my Great Zhou Dynasty, I really deserve to be killed!" The person who spoke had thick white eyebrows and an angry face, this person was the emperor's uncle, Zhou Yongan, the king of Minglong.
And Li Chengsheng was not afraid at all, and said to Zhou Yongan: "Lord Wang, the aura is revived, and the warrior is in charge!" I have not had a sixth-order martial artist in the past two years, and the destruction of the country is inevitable, so why let the common people suffer, I am also thinking about this people." ”
"The foundation of the Great Zhou millennium cannot be destroyed in our hands! How could the emperor fall in love with you and let you be the first minister. Zhou Yongan said resentfully.
"Of course, this is also for the sake of the bloodline of the former emperor, the first emperor has lost two bloodlines, and there is no six-rank martial artist in charge, His Majesty may be at any time..."
"Even so, our men of the Great Zhou Dynasty can only be broken for the jade, not for the whole tile!" Zhou Yongan said loudly.
"Your Majesty, the minister is also thinking about you, please agree to give up the country name...."
"No, Your Majesty......"
Zhou Mingrui looked at the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, his face was as gray as ashes, only the two of them were arguing, the Great Zhou Dynasty had reached the point of extinction, but at this point, why did he choose the predecessor of this fool with amnesia as the emperor.
Moreover, it seems that the opinion of this own emperor is very important, is this predecessor not a puppet?
Why this happens, it is impossible to judge if the information is incomplete!
At this moment, there was a sudden shout.
"Report! Prince Gong has a thousand-mile army report!"
Then there was a sound of horses' hooves, except for the military report that riding a horse in the palace was a capital offense.
The speed of the people who came was extremely fast, and the Tianluan Palace, which came quickly, hurriedly got off the horse, ran to the door of the hall quickly, did not enter the hall, and knelt on the ground.
"Military newspaper, there is a change in the border city, a thousand miles of urgent report" The person who came held the military newspaper with both hands, and at this time, a eunuch walked to the side and took the military newspaper and handed it to Wang Baode.
Zhou Mingrui didn't take the military report, just glanced at Wang Baode, and said in a deep voice: "Read!"
Wang Baode paused, opened the military newspaper, glanced at it, and glanced at Zhou Mingrui frequently.
"I let you read it, you just read it truthfully!" Zhou Mingrui waved his hand, and when it was time to destroy the country and destroy the species, what did he care about.
The ministers below have some doubts, how can the emperor be different from usual today, and he usually looks simple.
Today, I am much more savvy and organized.
Then the eunuch's unique crisp, loud voice sounded above the court: "My stupid brother, isn't the emperor enjoying it? And the emperor of the Western Chu Dynasty was killed again, and the emperor put a puppet to sit on the court, but what is the use of this, the emperor slaughterer only kills the real person in power.
Or do our ministers have a way to do everything, and only follow the orders of your stupid brother, no matter how strange the instructions are.
Hey, in the past two years, the Emperor Butcher has killed so many emperors, including his father and two elder brothers. My stupid brother, I won't sit down with this general of Zhenxi, go find a place to practice martial arts, this world will be the world of warriors from now on, and I don't want imperial power or anything, I will go, and I will save the imperial uncle from forcing me to be the emperor. I'm not interested in such a hot and dying emperor. If Uncle Huang wants to be, when you die, let him sit down!"
The military newspaper like a family letter is written by Zhou Minggong himself.
At this time, under the court, it was as if it was a frying pot, "What emperor butcher is here again, what can we do? We don't have a six-rank martial artist in charge." ”
Many ministers secretly looked at Zhou Mingrui with some pity in their eyes.
"This Zhou Minggong actually ran away secretly, it's too annoying, whoever will carry the pot next time, if it really doesn't work, let the first empress appear in the Great Zhou Kingdom! The emperor butcher should take His Majesty away, although he is an amnesiac fool, but so many of our courtiers take him seriously as an emperor! Respect him, and nothing will be done without his orders. Zhou Yongan thought in his heart.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor Slaughterer is here, or give up the name of the country and join another country, maybe you can escape this catastrophe!" Li Chengsheng shouted again.
"No, Your Majesty, you have to think about the society of our Great Zhou Dynasty, my son Zhou Ji is already a fifth-order peak martial artist, and he will enter the sixth order at any time, and my Great Zhou will be saved at that time!" Zhou Yongan hurriedly said.
"The difficulty of the fifth-order breakthrough to the sixth-order, the prince will not know! The emperor slaughterer is coming, who can stop it, our Great Zhou can't lose another majesty!" Li Chengsheng shouted again.
"Yes, how many emperors have the Emperor Butchers killed in the past two years, except for the six-rank martial artists, it is really unstoppable!"
At this time, Zhou Mingrui finally understood why a fool could become an emperor.
He suddenly stood up from the dragoon and said angrily, "I always thought I was just a puppet, but I didn't expect you to treat me as a sacrifice, a sacrifice!"
Zhou Mingrui threw off the dragon robe, stepped off the dragon chair, and left in the stunned gaze of the ministers.
Seeing this, the old eunuch shouted loudly: "Retreat!"
At this time, near the border of the Western Chu Dynasty, there was a man in yellow, his gaze passed through many obstacles, and fell on Zhou Mingrui, who was leading many eunuchs away.
