The faces of the old ministers were extremely ugly, and Xue Rou couldn't help but look sideways at Rong Jing. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

She didn't expect Rong Jing to make such a request at this time.

Ascending to the throne by threatening the courtiers is not justified, let alone at the time of the Great War, even if these courtiers promise to serve him as the emperor, after a group of generals lead their troops to leave the capital, they will gather together, and he will be so sure that he can control the situation? So that these people dare not move?

Rong Jing felt Xue Rou's gaze and turned around and raised the corners of his mouth towards her.

Xue Rou's heart suddenly moved, she raised her eyes to look at the people in the hall, and after her eyes fell on some of them, she remembered some things when she had not left the capital, and suddenly squinted slightly.

Don't......

"King Ling, at this time at the time of national turmoil, the Beiyan Pass was broken, the 300,000 troops of the countries have entered Chu, and the army of the Zhou State may break through the Lingshan Pass at any time. The matter of succession is very important, and the new emperor's accession to the throne also requires preparations from the Ministry of Rites, so it is better to wait until the rebels are repelled before discussing it. Kao said in a deep voice.

Rong Jing lazily raised his eyebrows: "The country can't be without a king for a day, if there is no inheritance, who will order the troops?" Who will appoint the commander-in-chief? And who will control the situation of the war? Could it be that Uncle Hua Wang thinks that as the prince of this king, he can command the army of Chu and appoint a general to lead the army to fight against the rebels of various countries? Or do you think that without the constraints of the emperor's order, let the generals of the court and the central government lead the troops outside, and wait until the rebels are expelled, they will not support the army and not return, and will not mess up our government in the name of the Qing monarch's side, and let the Chu State be torn apart? ”

"If this is the case, it is better to ask you to wait for the time being, and wait until your father is sober, and then give the emperor's order, so as to prevent some people from being clever and disobedient. This king does not have to bear such a heavy responsibility, if the Chu State dies, this king is just relieved. ”

Kao's expression turned blue instantly, and the other courtiers couldn't help but change color when they heard King Ling's words.

They knew what means King Ling had used to get to where he was today, and they knew that what King Ling said was very likely to become a reality. If he does not ascend the throne, the throne is still His Majesty's, and King Ling is still the prince. With King Ling's ruthlessness, if he does not become the emperor, he will definitely destroy all the royal descendants without hesitation.

Once the royal family and descendants are wiped out, the state of Chu will definitely be divided, and the generals of the DPRK and China will go their own way, and the civil ministers will each vote for one side, and the support of the army will be the most important. But if they really had to wait for the Chu Emperor to wake up before ordering the troops, I am afraid that the armies of the various countries would have already entered the capital, and when the time came, they would not have to argue about who was the new monarch.

Xue Rou stood beside Rong Jing, looked at the faces of the ministers under him, and suddenly said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know if you can listen to me?" ”

Everyone looked up at Xue Rou.

Xue Rou said lightly through the veil: "You don't want to serve King Ling as the emperor, it's just that you think that his methods are ruthless, and his mind is too deep in the city, I'm afraid that he will become a tyrant of a generation in the future and ruin the Chu State, right?"

The crowd didn't reply, but the expressions on their faces clearly showed their thoughts.

Seeing this, Xue Rou raised her lips and smiled: "Then let me ask you, how many people have not been vicious and ruthless in the competition for the crown prince in the past?" How many of them are based on benevolence and purity, brotherhood, brotherhood, love for the father, and filial piety to the son? ”

"The ancestor of the Zhou Kingdom, kill all the relatives, destroy the parents and children, and shock everyone to establish the country and inherit it. Emperor Shengwu killed 300,000 people, washed the North Mirror with blood, and made the entire North Mirror flow into a river of blood, and then established Beirong. The ancestors of Southern Chu, in order to destroy the previous dynasty, slaughtered more than 10,000 people from the royal family and beheaded more than 100,000 dependents of the remnants of the previous dynasty...... Who is not bloody in their hands, who is not stepping on the bones of others, to have today? ”

"You are afraid of King Ling, it is nothing more than because the candidates for the throne you admire are better at hiding and doing superficial work, no matter how ruthless their minds are and how poisonous their methods are, they are only acting in secret, and they will at least give you face on the surface, and will make the world think that they are the masters. But King Ling prefers to go straight, right is right, wrong is wrong, kill decisively, and never hide behind others. Therefore, you dare not let him be the new king, because you are afraid that he will do something to you, but I dare to ask you, if you act rightly, without greed or fault, and without treason against the king, why should he attack you? ”

Xue Rou stood beside Rong Jing, looked at the people below with cold eyes, and said in a cold voice: "This palace change, Rong Zhuan will destroy Chu, and King Ling will turn the tide and save the situation." Regardless of merit or demerits, let's just say that afterwards, King Ling destroyed the Xiao family, that is because when the Xiao family was in power, they filled their own pockets and ran rampant, and their officials were corrupt and bribed, encroaching on the dynasty! King Ling punished the Xie family, that was because Xie Chen was disloyal as a minister, and the daughter of the Xie family and Rong Zhuan joined forces to destroy the Chu State. But in addition to Xiao Xie's two families, there are also those ministers who betrayed the Lord and defected to the enemy and betrayed Emperor Chu to curry favor with Rong Xuan, who else has King Ling killed? ”

"You all think that King Ling's city is too deep and the methods are ruthless, but have you ever thought about it, now that King Fu, King Yu, and King Xuan are dead, King Qing's whereabouts are unknown, and the remaining princes and grandsons are all people who are not of great use, even if you do your best to assist, at most you will only get out the puppet master. If you are assisted in the peaceful and prosperous times, you may be able to be the master of the defense, but now the war between the North and the South Zhou is imminent, the countries are strong and break the Chu State, the Beirong is ready to move, the troops are coming to the city, and the troubled times are coming. The monarch is weak and the ministers are strong, the power is on the side, there is no ambition and strategy, there is no means to the city, do you think you can keep the Chu State standing tall in the turbulent times, or can you keep your thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in Southern Chu from being invaded? ! ”

Everyone looked at Xue Rou calmly, and their hearts trembled.

They all knew that this woman was sophistry, and what she just said was everywhere in favor of King Ling and saying good things for King Ling, but that sentence was like the tip of a needle, and it was inserted into their weakness without hesitation, piercing into the marrow, so that even if they wanted to argue, they couldn't say half a sentence.

Since ancient times, the struggle for the prince and the throne have all been bloody roads. If you want to sit in that position and hold the power of the world, who can be clean?

King Xuan, King Fu, King Yu, King Qing...... Among them, who is not ruthless, and who can not have the slightest scheming of the city government? They framed each other and plotted against each other, and the means they used would be worse than those of King Ling? It's just that they were one move behind and lost to King Ling in the end!

So they die, and King Ling lives!

In the troubled times, the heroes are strong, although King Ling has a ruthless temperament, but he can go to the end among the kings, the strategy and means are not bad at all, and the scheming of the city government is far better than ordinary people. With him, he can ensure the integrity of the Chu State and suppress the civil strife, and only he can make the Chu State stand tall in the chaotic war of the countries in the near future.

Otherwise, even if they can support the new monarch, they will not be able to protect Nanchu, because the first thing they have to face is King Ling, as well as Xue Rou, who owns the entire Ning family business house and has overwhelming financial resources!

Everyone was silent, weighing the gains and losses in their hearts.

After a long time, Yan Hou suddenly stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "The old minister is willing to serve King Ling as the new king, but there is one condition!" ”

Rong Jing raised his eyebrows: "What conditions?" ”

"Xue Rou, this girl, is not allowed to enter the court, let alone my harem of Chu State!"

Rong Jing's face was instantly gloomy, the clouds under his eyes gathered, and above the main hall, there was an uproar among the courtiers.

Yan Hou stared at the chill on Rong Jing's body, and said in a deep voice: "Xue Rou, this woman, has overwhelming financial resources, amazing strategies, and even more difficult means for ordinary people to beat. At the beginning, she relied on her own strength to cholera the Zhou Kingdom and split the Zhou Kingdom. Later, after she entered Chu, she designed the kings to kill each other and mess with the dynasty of Chu. Although the old minister has no evidence, I am sure that the reason why my Nanchu is in today's situation, and the reason why you were able to ascend the throne is because of this woman. If she intends to get involved in the harem of the government, my Southern Chu will be a demon queen, and the matter of the Empress Huo Guo will definitely reappear in my Chu State! ”

"So, Xue Rou, as long as you can swear that you will never enter the court and will not be involved in the harem, the old minister will promise to serve King Ling as the new emperor and fully assist him!"

Yan Hou's voice was heavy, but what he said in his words was extremely sharp, and when all the courtiers looked at Xue Rou, they were already discolored.

Hundreds of years ago, when the state of Chu, the state of Zhou and Beirong had not yet appeared, the world was unified and belonged to the Chiyan Dynasty. Under the whole world, all are royal land, and within the four seas, all are kings and ministers, and the strength of the Chiyan Dynasty deters the Quartet. In the more than 20 years of dominating the world, no one in the world dared to claim the country, no one dared to claim the emperor, and no force dared to compete with the Chiyan Dynasty. But such a powerful dynasty was finally destroyed in the hands of a woman.

That woman, amazingly talented, she single-handedly assisted the Emperor of the Chiyan Dynasty, wiped out all the countries, swept Liuhe, and achieved the unification of the world, and the Chiyan Emperor was called the empress, but it was also her, after the Chiyan Emperor empathized with the love, she single-handedly destroyed the extremely powerful dynasty, harmed the people of the world and fell into war for decades, and then gradually appeared in today's countries.

At this time, when they heard Li Ge Lao mention the matter of the empress, everyone's expressions when they looked at Xue Rou also changed.

In terms of talent, strategy, and scheming, the woman in front of her is too strong.

If she enters the court as an official, the government will be in her hands, and if she enters the palace as the queen, there will be no concubine in the Chu Palace. As long as she is willing, the state of Chu is like a plaything in her hands, if she is assisted by such a woman, the state of Chu will be strong, but if such a woman has a heresy, the state of Chu will definitely be in danger!

Cheng Yangyun, the secretary of the ministry, took a step forward and said: "The ministers seconded the proposal, and the ministers are willing to serve King Ling as the new king, but Xue Rou, this daughter, must never enter the court and not get involved in the harem!" ”

"The minister also seconded it!"

"The old minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"As long as King Ling gives a decree, the ministers will immediately ascend the throne with the prince!"

All the courtiers walked to the palace and said loudly, even King Hua and Li Ge Lao and others made it clear that as long as Xue Rou did not enter the court and the palace, they agreed to King Ling ascending the throne and becoming the new monarch!

Rong Jing's eyes looked at the courtiers below coldly, his face was full of frost and killing intent, he stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Presumptuous, this king will never agree!" "His Rourou is the lord of this Southern Chu, and even more so after this Southern Chu, if there is no Xue Rou, he would rather destroy the Chu State!

This throne of Chu is not as good as half a hair of soft and soft hair!

"If King Ling doesn't make an order, even if we die, I will never serve you as the emperor!" Yan Hou said in a deep voice.

"Then you will die!"

Rong Jing's face was full of gloom, and he raised his hand and slapped towards Yan Hou, but Xue Rou grabbed Rong Jing's hand and stopped his hand movements, then turned his head to look at Yan Hou and the others, and said in a light but bright voice: "Everyone, as long as I promise not to enter the court and the palace, you are willing to do your best to assist King Ling?" ”

"Yes!" Yan Hou said in a deep voice.

"Good!"

Xue Rou spoke coldly, standing beside Rong Jing and looking at the ministers lightly.

At the beginning of her assistance to Rong Jing, when she used means to frame the kings, she thought that today, the courtiers of Chu State would not allow another Empress Dowager Xiao to appear, and no courtiers of any country would allow her to stay in the court.

After glancing at everyone with both eyes, she slowly reached out to untie the white veil on her face, revealing her cheeks that were almost penetrated by scars after the white veil, when everyone down saw the terrifying and terrifying scar on her face like a centipede, everyone gasped, and Rong Jing turned around instantly, looking at the scars on Xue Rou's face with a shocked face, and the whole person was shocked in place.

Qin Xi's eyes instantly turned red and clenched her palms tightly.

"I, Xue Rou, swear here, never to enter the Chu Dynasty, never to be a concubine of Chu, if I violate this oath, I will fall into reincarnation and never be reborn!"

"Rourou!"

"Girl!!"

When Qin Xi and Rong Jing heard Xue Rou's oath, their faces were full of shock, no one knew better than them that Xue Rou was a person who came back from the dead, and no one believed in the reincarnation of life and death more than them. Rong Jing grabbed Xue Rou's hand tightly and used all her strength, as if she wanted to crush her bones. But he didn't dare to let go, as if as soon as he let go, the woman in front of him would leave him, and once he let go, she would never return to him.

"Why, why say such an oath, why be forced by them!"

"I'd rather destroy the state of Chu and kill all the courtiers than allow you to leave!"

Rong Jing's eyes were red with blood, and the anger and murderous intent in his words were undisguised. Everyone in the court couldn't help but feel a chill, even Yan Hou didn't expect that King Ling would actually do this for the sake of a woman. When he looked at Xue Rou, he remembered the look she had just spoken, and he faintly regretted it in his heart, but after a while, that regret was forced down by him.

In any case, the State of Chu must not produce another Empress Dowager Xiao! We can't let the events of the Chiyan Dynasty reappear in the Chu State!

Xue Rou smiled slightly, and the scars that ran through half of her cheeks were even more hideous. But she just smiled and said: "Rong Jing, don't forget what I said, I will assist you as the emperor, not for power and wealth, not for fame and fortune, just because you promised me to give me a prosperous Qingping..."

She looked up at the golden and brilliant hall, and her eyes were shining, just like when the ancestors of the Yin family stood in the court.

She thought of her grandfather, her father, and the Yin family who had guarded the Zhou Kingdom for hundreds of years, but she had not died well, and her expression gradually became firm: "When I was in the Zhou Kingdom, at the beginning of your cooperation, you promised me that when I assisted you on the throne, you would give me a blank holy decree for me to write. Now, I want you to fulfill your promise and make a decree to tell all the courtiers that I, Xue Rou, will never enter the court and swear not to be a concubine! (To be continued.) )
