Chapter 248: Forcing the Palace
A month later, the weather was fine, and Sophie woke up from her cultivation and smiled happily. She told Chen Xiao that she had broken through and entered the Holy Emperor Intermediate Level.
Chen Xiao was very happy for her, his own strength was also a high-level Holy Emperor, and in general, he should be stronger than Sophie.
The little shadow mink also said that it did not break through, and it was still the primary level of the Demon Emperor, and it was very depressed.
For this kind of ostentatious remarks, Chen Xiao and Sophie directly ignored it, they have entered the strongest realm, the little guy is still pretending to be pitiful, is it necessary?
After the breakthrough, Chen Xiao was thinking about how to deal with the Sea Clan.
When he fought against Xudong, he was inspired by the people, and it seemed that it was time to conquer the royal capital and build an empire first.
But now, he has no problem killing the king, and there is no problem in killing the king, but it is very problematic to establish a country.
The most fundamental problem is that he has no helpers and no army, and an empire cannot function on its own. With Sophie, it should be two, but it's still not enough.
"Chen Xiao, let's go recruit troops!" Sophie said, Chen Xiao is very popular in the Shenwu Empire, as long as he waves his hand, it should be easy to find a large number of troops.
Chen Xiao shook his head, this way, it's too slow, you can't fight it one by one, it's very time-consuming.
He thought, since the country is still functioning, why not launch a coup d'état and directly force the king to abdicate? Chen Fan is a cowardly person, and there is no problem in scaring him.
However, Chen Xiao knew that he still had to win the support of several people.
The first person is the Great General, who is in charge of the largest army in the Empire.
The general was not in the royal capital, but in the Wuhou Mountains, living close to the king's capital, and once the royal capital was in danger, he could quickly lead hundreds of thousands of troops over.
When the Sea Clan attacked, the other legions were almost wiped out, but his legion did not lose much, because his self-blame was to defend the king and not accept the invasion. And the previous king was killed by the Sea Clan, and it was the king who died, and the king did not lose.
The general, named Wu Sanqing, and his legion was called the Wuhou Army.
Ten days later, Chen Xiao came to the Wuhou Mountains, the General's Mansion.
"General, Chen Xiao asks to see!"
The housekeeper entered the study and reported.
Wu Sanqing was shocked when he heard this, the pen in his hand fell on the paper, he usually writes, relaxes, but today he was shocked.
"Strategist, what do you think when you say Chen Xiao is coming?" Wu Sanqing asked the person next to him who closed his eyes and recuperated.
This man was holding a feather fan, shaking it slightly, it was his military advisor.
"Enlist the general's support and force the king to abdicate!" The military advisor suddenly opened his eyes, revealing a chilling light.
Wu Sanqing frowned, he thought of the same thing.
Chen Xiao and Sophie waited outside, but they didn't wait long, and immediately someone came to invite them in, and they came directly to Wu Sanqing's study.
He didn't say anything.
Although Wu Sanqing is a martial artist, he is unparalleled in wisdom and bravery, his military advisor, and the best thinker, he has definitely guessed his original intention of coming here, and it is useless to say extra words, he just needs to show his intentions.
"Little prince, I guessed your intention. Wu Sanqing said in a deep voice.
"Oh, what does the general think?" Chen Xiao said with a smile.
"Full support for the little prince!" Wu San Qingdao.
Chen Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, if Wu Sanqing didn't agree, he would definitely have to use other methods.
On this day, he stayed in the General's Mansion for a while, and the things he discussed with him were nothing more than what forced the palace.
Chen Xiao has no experience in this area.
The general thought that the sooner the better, and while the sea god was not ready, he tried to force Chen Fan back as quickly as possible.
Chen Xiao asked, when is the best time.
The general replied that it would be better tomorrow evening.
This kind of speed made Chen Xiao startled, it was too fast, but he knew that it was without further ado, so he immediately agreed. On the same day, they went directly to the royal capital. The next day, a man was found.
Prime minister!
The Shenwu Empire, the highest ruling official, is in charge of civil officials.
In the name of the general, enter the Prime Minister's Mansion.
When the prime minister saw Wu Sanqing and Chen Xiao walking in at the same time, he was immediately shocked, he had already guessed what these two were going to do.
"You guys are so bold that you swaggered in?" said the prime minister.
"What's there to be afraid of, who can beat me?" Chen Xiao said with a smile, deliberately looking clumsy.
The prime minister smiled, knowing that Chen Xiao had made a lot of trouble during this time, he didn't talk nonsense, nodded and said, "Tomorrow night, force the palace!"
Wu Sanqing smiled, Cheng was more direct than him, and he still had some reservations, but he said it directly.
Chen Xiao nodded gratefully and said, "Thank you two for your support!"
Wu Sanqing was busy and didn't dare to be, all for the future of the empire.
The prime minister said, this is as it should be, the king is incapable, and he should be on the throne.
After contacting these two people, they were basically able to set a big deal, Chen Xiao, Wu Sanqing, and Prime Minister felt that the more people who knew about things, the smaller the chance of success, so they didn't invite others.
The next night, Prime Minister and Wu Sanqing took Chen Xiao into the palace.
At night, I don't invite hundreds of officials, but tonight it is brightly lit.
All the officials in the royal capital have arrived.
Chen Fan was speechless because the hundred officials were not recruited by himself, and he himself had to attend the evening proceedings.
After arriving, Chen Fan found that Wu Sanqing was also here, and he was immediately furious: "General, no one summoned you to the royal capital, why are you here?"
In the imperial system, the general is not in the royal capital, and the royal capital only has dragon guards and other guards, and the local army must not enter the royal capital to prevent forcing the palace.
Wu Sanqing said coldly: "You didn't summon me, naturally someone summoned me!"
Chen Fan said angrily: "Who, who dares to be so bold?"
Other officials, seeing this situation, immediately understood that the general and the prime minister were colluding together, but they were afraid that this was going to force the palace, they were uneasy in their hearts, thinking about how to stand in line, and if they made a mistake, they would definitely ruin their families.
Chen Fan has no ability, his family background is not strong, and he has no one to support him. Everyone is afraid of him because of the sea god behind him, if the person who can't fight with the sea god appears, everyone is still inclined to Chen Fan to be the king, although he is weaker, but he can save everyone's lives, isn't it?
Whether the Sea Clan is in charge of the empire, or someone else is in charge of the empire, their position is still there.
"It's me!"
A deep voice came from outside.
Chen Fan shouted angrily and asked the speaker to step forward.
The man did not speak, but went straight into the main hall.
The person who came, dressed in white, was Chen Xiao.
"It's Chen Xiao!"
Baiguan suddenly took a breath.
In fact, some people have long thought that they can invite generals and prime ministers, and it is estimated that there are only people from the Chen family in the entire empire.
When Chen Fan saw him, he was so frightened that he suddenly fell from the throne, and he couldn't believe that he was really here.
"You...... What do you want?" Chen Fan said tremblingly.
"I told you that the next time I come, I'll come with the army. So it's simple, you announce your abdication and the new emperor will be elected by those present!" Chen Xiao said with a smile.
Chen Fan heard that Chen Xiao didn't want his life, and immediately agreed, this situation is already obvious, no one supports him, it is better to know each other a little, step down from the throne, how can he be a prince, and he does not have to be responsible for the future of the empire, how good.
Chen Fan immediately announced his abdication.
The prime minister persuaded him three times, but Chen Fan said that he was really incapable and must abdicate.
The prime minister agreed and declared it valid.
Then the prime minister looked at the officials and said that when the country was in trouble, it could not be left without an owner for a day, so it was necessary to deliberate tonight and elect a new king.
The prime minister nominated Chen Xiao.
The general reconsidered.
Others, you look at me, I look at you, is there any choice for this, and they all immediately elected Chen Xiao.
Sophie watched from the outside, and felt that these people inside were so funny, it was obviously a very simple matter, Chen Xiao went up and dragged that Chen Fan down and sat on the throne by himself, why did he work so hard.
The little shadow marten said faintly: "This is the art of the imperial court!"
Sophie smiled, firstly because it was funny what Little Shadow Mink said, and secondly, Chen Xiao ascended the throne.
Many people seem to be obviously prepared for this forced palace.
Because Chen Xiao had just sat down, the people in the inner palace immediately sent a dragon robe, and after putting it on, it just fitted, as if it was tailor-made.
"Congratulations to the King!" said everyone.
"Well, from today on, the Shenwu Empire will be ruled by me. Chen Xiao was not accustomed to saying big things, and said, "Under my rule, I will never allow compromise with the Sea Clan. Chief of the Guard!"
Outside entered a holy one, respectfully standing to receive the command.
Chen Xiao continued: "Inside and outside the palace, all the sea tribe fishmen are arrested, and if they resist, they will be killed!"
When the chief guard heard this, tears of excitement filled his eyes, these envoys of the Sea Clan showed off their power on weekdays, he had long been unaccustomed to it, but the king did not dare to touch them, and at this time the new king was changed, and he immediately stood with the dragon guard, chasing and killing the people of the Sea Clan.
When the hundred officials saw that Chen Xiao came up, they took the envoy of the Sea Clan, and they were all a little excited, it seemed that the king was ready to continue the war with the Sea Clan, and they all supported it. No one wants to be a slave, do they?
After this, the prime minister proposed that the country should be renamed, a new country, a new name, and a new atmosphere.
Chen Xiao thought for a while and said, "It used to be called the Shenwu Empire, but I always feel that it is a little worse, so it is better to call it the Martial God Empire in the future!"
When the prime minister heard this, he was immediately overjoyed.
The general was also overjoyed, he thought that Chen Xiao was young and less courageous, but the word martial god is not exactly what the whole country needs, and he is confident!
Sophie saw so many old men respectfully facing Chen Xiao, and her heart was very happy, this is the atmosphere of the empire, very good.
After Chen Xiao sent them away, he laughed, he succeeded in forcing the palace!
