On November 11, the twenty-fourth year of the Jingguo calendar, Li Chen, the new monarch of Jingguo, ascended the throne as the seventeenth lord of Jingguo and the smallest lord in the history of Jingguo.

According to Li Hongtu's testament, Li Chen canonized Li Yunyi as the regent, and led the military and political affairs of Jingguo before Li Chen became an adult.

Li Yunyi announced several appointments in court, dismissing Cao Li from the post of commander of the Imperial Forest Army, reassigning him to the post of lieutenant, and immediately reorganizing all the troops of Jingguo.

At the same time, he dismissed the left and right prime ministers, Zhang Muzhi, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, was promoted to the left prime minister, Gongqu, the secretary of the criminal department, was promoted to the right prime minister, and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Household was all dismissed and reappointed to the rest.

In addition, Li Chen issued a letter of state, renamed Li Yunyu as the idle king, and gave the fief Taiping County. Changed the title of Li Yunxiang to the king of San, gave the fief Tai'an County, and immediately left Jingcheng to return to the fief from the same day, and he was not allowed to leave the fief without a holy decree.

There is also an article on the national book, the Taiwei Zhou Xian and the general Wang Wang Tuoba Wu, as well as the four princes, two prime ministers and three Shangshu suddenly died of illness, and they were all given posthumous burials and entered the Valhalla.

Li Chen also presented his credentials to Li Qingfu, which was addressed to the Southern Chu Dynasty, which was nominally a vassal state of Southern Chu although it was an independent state with military and political and financial independence.

Therefore, it is necessary to submit a credential and ask for the recognition of the Southern Chu Emperor. Of course, under normal circumstances, the Southern Chu Dynasty will definitely not do anything wrong, and will issue a holy decree to recognize the position of the lord of the country, unless Southern Chu wants to destroy Jingguo, otherwise it will not cause extraneous branches.

On the same day, countless carrier pigeons and bats flew from Jingcheng everywhere, countless secret letters were sent through various channels, and a team of messengers went to various cities with national letters to announce to the world.

The gate of Jingcheng was opened, and Cao Li took thousands of royal forest troops and city defenders, holding the holy decree in his hand, and he also took the two princes of Fu out of the city.

He was ordered to take over all the armies outside, and this enthronement ceremony was held in a hurry, very shabby, and he didn't even have time to pay homage to the ancestors of heaven and earth and the Li family. Li Yunyi's order was to keep everything simple and fast, and the purpose was obviously to quickly quell the civil strife and take over the entire Jingguo.

While the troops outside were still waiting for news, Cao Li took the two princes of Fu and thousands of troops out of the city. They first went to the 10,000 army camp brought by Zhou Xian, and Gonggong Fu personally took action, without saying anything, and killed Wu Qi, the general of Zhennan, in an instant, and then read out the holy decree, and those who did not accept it were killed.

A commander behind Cao Li was holding a wooden box in his hand, but when the wooden box was opened, it was a human head. The generals of the 10,000 army, after seeing the heads clearly, all did not talk nonsense, and they all knelt down to receive the edict.

This head belongs to Zhou Xian.

The 10,000 troops did not have time to be reorganized, so Cao Li took the 10,000 troops and the original thousands of troops to the Dongda Camp.

There are tens of thousands of troops here, and it is still the same as before, Fu Gonggong rushed in directly, killing all the way without saying a word, Cao Li and the two Guogongs followed closely and suppressed the whole army.

According to the list given by Li Yunyi, Gonggong Fu directly slaughtered dozens of generals and generals, and also slaughtered a turbulent army of hundreds. After Cao Li's commander took out two wooden boxes and put out the heads of Zhou Xian and Tuoba Wu, the generals of these tens of thousands of troops did not dare to mess around, and all the orders were obeyed.

It will be the soul of the army!

Zhou Xian and Tuoba Wu are like gods in the eyes of their army generals. Now that the gods are dead, there is a large army, a holy decree, a great grandmaster, and two princes to suppress the formation, even if some generals want to rebel, they can't organize it for a while, and they are quickly suppressed by bullets.

The two armies took over, and the rest of the matter was simple, nothing more than transferring the generals of Li Yunyu's Li Yunxiang faction, promoting more generals from the rest of the factions, and disrupting the generals and soldiers, so that the possibility of a rebellion in the army was very low.

Of course, these things are very cumbersome, and it is estimated that they will not be able to deal with them in a few days. The entire court is also very chaotic now, and the chaos under the court is naturally even more chaotic, and Jingguo can't be at peace for a short time.

It is worth mentioning that Xiong Jun and they were promoted, and Xiong Jun became a first-class military marquis, with the rank of general officer. Ding Yu, Long, Chen Zheng, and even Lu Youshan in Huya Pass have become second-rank military marquis, with the rank of general, but they are not currently allowed to take over the rest of the army, and Lin Jian, the commander of the military camp, has become the young secretary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Jingcheng was bustling all day, with troops running around everywhere and officials shuttling in sedan chairs or war horses. Jingcheng is under martial law today, and ordinary people are not allowed to go out on the streets without a reason, otherwise they will be severely punished. Although they were not allowed to go out, many large families received the news.

On the second day, Jingcheng lifted martial law, and the news began to spread throughout Jingcheng, and at the same time, news was received from all parts of Jingguo, and all of Southern Chu and several major vassal states received the news. The news was like a boulder dropped in the calm waters of a lake, and it caused a great sensation.

There was an uproar!

This result is too unexpected for the world, Li Yunyu and Li Yunxiang are not surprising to everyone, even if Li Yunyi is on the throne, many people can understand, but he is a little boy who is more than five years old, and he is not Li Hongtu's son, but the eldest grandson.

The most important thing is not the candidate for the new monarch, but Li Yunyi's butcher's knife!

The two great grandmasters, the four great princes, the two prime ministers, the three Shangshu and a group of officials were all killed!

The three Shangshu are the heads of key departments, and the two prime ministers are the heads of civil officials, and they have been in power for decades.

The Four Great Princes, that is the helmsman of the four major families, the four major families have countless clansmen and children in the three aspects of military, political and business, and countless families are attached to the four major families.

Two Great Masters!

What is a grandmaster? That is the foundation of a country, the supreme force of a country. A lieutenant, the highest military commander of Jingguo. A great general king, most of the army of Jingguo is commanded by him!

All died of illness?

In order to support Li Chen's ascension, Li Yunyi stained the Jingwang Palace with blood, killing people and destroying most of the foundation of Jingguo.

There is another point, which is even more incomprehensible, Li Yunyi can slaughter so many big people, which shows that he is in control of the overall situation. Now that you are in control of the overall situation, why not take the throne yourself? Instead, support a five-year-old child to ascend to the throne?

Is he afraid that his reputation will not be good? Let Li Chen ascend to the throne and become his fig leaf, and he will be the king?

Many people thought about this possibility, but then quickly rejected it. When did Li Yunyi's reputation improve?

used to be a mediocre prince, but later returned from the Nanban Mountains, messed around in Tiannan County, looted the city all the way, and his reputation was never good. Now that he has killed so many important ministers, most of the foundation of Jingguo has been destroyed, what good reputation does he have? If he dares to do these things, what reputation will he care about?

"Li Yunyi, don't call him King Yi, this king thinks it's better to change his name to the Demon King!"

The words of a prince on the side of Nanchu spread, and soon spread throughout the major vassal states and Jing Kingdom. The reason why this sentence can spread so quickly is because everyone thinks it makes sense.

This crippled prince saved Jingguo, and his immortal achievements have not attracted much attention from the world. Now he is killing on a large scale, but he has suddenly become famous, and his reputation has resounded throughout the entire Southern Chu Dynasty.

If it weren't for the Demon King, how could he kill so indiscriminately? How could he destroy the foundation of Jingguo?

What is the most important thing about a country?

It's not just the thousands of people, but the super families who defend the royal power, such as the Six Great Princes. If the Li family wants to rule Jingguo, can they rule by relying on the people of their Li family? If there are no guards from those wealthy families and the allegiance of those big families, how can they rule layer by layer?

The royal family of a country is the strongest, and the royal family must be surrounded by countless big families, and those big families are surrounded by countless small families. Layer by layer, it's like a pyramid.

Those thousands of people are at the bottom of the pyramid. Those people are at the bottom of the food chain, and they are the best to manage, and as long as there is a bite to eat, they will not riot.

Li Yunyi beheaded the four great princes, which destroyed the foundation of the rule, and in a short period of time, he may not be in turmoil under his iron fist and butcher's knife, but if he is not properly managed for a long time, it is easy to have big chaos.

There are also two great grandmasters!

This is a country's super killer, there is no grandmaster, if several great masters of the enemy country lead troops to attack at the same time, what will Jingguo rely on to resist?

Therefore, after the news spread, many people naturally identified Li Yunyi as a madman, a bloodthirsty demon king, and a neurotic who didn't care about anything......

"Jingguo is not far from destroying the country!"

Many high-level officials of the vassal states have expressed such feelings, there is only one Grandmaster Jing Kingdom, which is very fragile. Although Cai's army retreated, it would soon be able to make a comeback.

Not counting those two mysterious grandmasters, there are still two great grandmasters in Cai Guo, if the grandmaster of Cai Guo is in charge, Jingcheng itself is now in a mess, what can I rely on to resist?

Even if Cai Guo didn't come to attack, the four killed Guogong families would be resentful, and they might not mess around in a short time, and they would definitely plot to overthrow Li Chen and Li Yunyi's rule after a long time.

There is another point, the high-level leaders of the major vassal states think that Li Yunyi has done something wrong, and he is very wrong.

That's Li Yunyu and Li Yunxiang!

Since they have killed so many important ministers and high-ranking officials, why do they show mercy to Li Yunyu and Li Yunxiang's subordinates? Kill them together and cut off future troubles. Even if you don't kill them, you have to stay in Jingcheng and guard them at all times, but Li Yunyi expelled the two from Jingcheng and went to their respective fiefdoms?

How many of the four great princes, as well as the protégés of Zhou Xian and Tuoba Wu?

Li Yunyu and Li Yunxiang are tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain, and those families and the old department can secretly contact the two of them at any time, looking for an opportunity to kill Li Yunyi and Li Chen, and change the dynasty.

"This king puts his words here, Li Yunyi will not live for more than a year!"

A prince of the third-class vassal state Jiao Guo may have drunk too much at a banquet on the third day, and he released his words in front of the envoys of various countries: "If Li Yunyi can live for a year, this king will eat ten catties of!"
