Chapter 69

Demon Realm, Imperial Dust Palace.

The silence in the Dust Hall was extraordinary.

In recent days, the demon realm court has secretly set off a bloody storm. Watching the voices against the three princes disappear one after another in accidents, assassinations, and convictions, coupled with the support of several old ministers of the previous emperor's humerus, no one has expressed any significance to the rapid ascension of the three princes.

The morning hour had passed, but two people had not yet come. None of the civil and military forces in the Manchu Dynasty complained, and they all waited respectfully.

At three o'clock, the little eunuch's loud announcement came from afar.

"The Third Prince Nangong Ying, Prime Minister Xiao Qian has arrived—" The voice echoed over the vast square outside the Imperial Dust Palace.

As the distance from the Imperial Dust Hall narrowed, the voices of the people who spoke at each gate came one after another, shouting the same content. From the palace gate to the Imperial Dust Palace, a sound was as high as a sound, a loud sound was like a sound, and a sound echoed over the palace.

Finally, Nangong Ying and Xiao Qian appeared under the white jade steps outside the Imperial Dust Palace.

"Ministers greet His Royal Highness the Third Prince, Prime Minister." The Manchu civil and military forces were lined up on both sides, bowing their hands and bending down, speaking in unison.

Voices echoed through the hall.

The prince of Liang and the prince of Wei stood at the back of the queue, that is, the innermost part of the Imperial Dust Palace. King Liang's face was pale, and his neat hair on weekdays was mixed with a few conspicuous whites.

Nangong Ying walked into the Imperial Dust Hall without saying a word accompanied by Xiao Qian, with a calm expression, as if all the ministers should be welcomed.

"Elders don't need to be polite." Standing under the steps of the throne at the end of the Imperial Dust Palace, Su Ying looked up at the golden throne for a moment before saying to them.

"The third prince, in recent days, there have been many trivial matters in the demon world, and the situation has been frequent. The ministers and others hope that the three princes will ascend the throne as soon as possible, ensure the stability of the people in our demon world, and the Haiyan River will be clear. Cheng Shi took a group of old ministers to get straight to the point and knelt down first.

"Please enthrone the third prince—" The ministers looked at each other and immediately said in unison. Although the voice was not very loud, it reverberated in the exceptionally quiet dust hall.

All the courtiers who are still standing here are not stupid - within a few days, dozens of key ministers who opposed Nangong Ying have died mysteriously, and the bloody purge has permeated the entire court.

This seemingly delicate and weak young man walked step by step on a road made of the bones of countless opponents.

However, no one has been able to catch a single bit of evidence, or rather, no one who can catch evidence is still alive at this time.

In addition, an iron-blooded new Demon Emperor does not violate their principle of loyalty to the Demon Realm Imperial Family

Cheng Yan made a gesture, and a little eunuch walked out with a pure gold tray in his hand and knelt in front of Su Ying.

The tray is bright yellow and bright - it is a dragon robe.

Su Ying looked at the dragon robe, smiled coldly, and did not answer.

The fruits of victory seem to come too quickly, but in fact, it is because the royal connections of the demon world have withered, and they have not really tried to seize power in the palace fight, coupled with the absolute suppression brought by the royal blood of the demon world, so Su Ying can sweep away dissidents so quickly.

Cheng Yan and several old ministers who knew about it, Su Ying, had already passed the anger, and they knew Su Ying's plan, and they had no objections.

Seeing them kneel down first, many shrewd ministers sniffed the smell, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Please enthrone the third prince—"

After a while, the only people who did not kneel in the Imperial Dust Hall were Su Ying, the prince of Liang and the prince of Wei.

King Liang's body shook and he was about to kneel. Nangong Qing snatched it out and looked at him, his eyes were blood-red and terrifying, "No!" ”

"Nangong Qing, don't be rude!"

"Not bad. The third prince will let you live and let you reform yourself, you have to know what is good or bad! ”

Xiao Qian raised his hand and stopped the indignant ministers in the Imperial Dust Palace. Evoking a faint smile, Xiao Qian shook his head - what are you arguing with a person who is sure to die?

"What does the prince of Wei want to say?" Su Ying lowered his eyes and didn't look at him, and his tone was very indifferent.

"You...... You're not a demon royalty at all! You're an impostor! Nangong Qing pointed at his hands and trembled, but he still forced his composure.

Su Ying kept smiling and said, "Can't the prince see that His Royal Highness is a demon now?" ”

Everyone looked at Su Ying's hair.

It's the same as the first time Su Ying saw the firmament - silver-gray.

The sky in the demon world is about to change.

"Any objections?" Su Ying looked at Nangong Qing lightly.

"But...... Obviously ......"

Nangong Qing was trembling all over, seeing that everyone looked at him with sympathy, schadenfreude, regret, confusion, and fear, and finally felt that the blood rushing in his chest seemed to slowly cool down, and he only shook his head without saying a word.

"Okay." Su Ying raised his head slightly, "Everyone, flat." ”

"Third Prince Xie—"

Su Ying's gaze turned to Nangong Rui.

"Nangong Rui, the son of King Liang, is very wise, diligent in government and loves the people, and is the first choice for my demon world to inherit the unification." Su Ying looked at Nangong Rui, who was frightened in his eyes and his body was slightly shaking, and continued: "From today onwards, I will ascend the throne as the king and rule the demon world. ”

Nangong Rui didn't seem to understand at all, and looked at Su Ying sluggishly.

"Change clothes for the emperor." Su Yingchong said to the little eunuch next to him.

After several little eunuchs looked at each other, they trembled and picked up the dragon robe on the tray, draped it on Nangong Rui, and helped him walk up the steps and sit on the wide dragon chair.

Several old ministers who knew about it listened calmly, and although the rest of the ministers were a little surprised, how could they not guess when they saw this situation, so they did not say anything.

Su Ying smiled slightly with satisfaction and continued: "Nangong Qing, the prince of the King of Wei, ignored the court and bent the law for personal gain, and his crime is unforgivable. All property is now confiscated today without delay. ”

Su Ying turned to a glance at the few arranged imperial guards at the door. A few guards walked up to the hall, dragged Nangong Qing, who hadn't reacted yet, and pulled him out of the door.

"Wait...... Wait a minute. Nangong Rui stood up with the dragon chair.

Su Ying raised his head and looked directly into his eyes, and said, "Is the emperor dissatisfied with the minister's handling of the matter like this?" ”

The voice echoed word by word in the extraordinarily quiet hall.

Nangong Rui's eyes shrank for a moment, then he looked elsewhere, and said: "The case of the prince of Wei is not over yet, and it should be ...... after a detailed investigation by the Rongzong government" The voice became smaller and smaller, and finally it was completely inaudible.

"The prince of Wei has offended His Royal Highness many times. His Highness at first thought that blood was thicker than water, and did not care about him. But now, His Highness has found that he has not repented and his sins are unforgivable. Shouldn't this kind of scum of the demon realm royal family be killed? ”

Nangong Rui was about to open his mouth to plead, and at the same time, the ten old ministers in the Imperial Dust Palace, including Xiao Qian, who controlled the forces of the entire demon realm, knelt down again and said in unison: "What the three princes said is reasonable, please think twice, Your Majesty!" ”

The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings.

Su Ying smiled indifferently and looked at Nangong Rui. He doesn't ask much, as long as he is obedient, this dragon chair is actually very easy to sit on.

Nangong Rui looked at the courtiers on the ground and slowly sat back in the dragon chair.

The ministers exchanged knowing glances, and they already knew very well that this emperor was just a puppet, and if he wanted to live, he had to listen to the three princes. Whether it makes sense or not.

"Your Majesty," Su Ying looked at Nangong Rui, who was unavoidable, and her voice was full of impatience, "Is it right for Weichen to do this?" ”

Nangong Rui struggled for a long time on the golden dragon chair like a person who was about to drown, and finally his eyes were low, and he said, "What the third prince said is right......

"Thank you, Your Majesty." There was not the slightest hint of gratitude in Su Ying's tone, he turned around and said to the guards who stopped in place, lightly opened his lips, and said word by word:

"Cane to death."

Yun Yun's light tone seemed to be casual, and it couldn't be more casual. But all the ministers knew it, and the unknown side of Nangong Ying was revealed. No one wants to be the chicken that was killed to show the monkeys.

The screams echoed outside the hall, each more terrible than the last, and the other more miserable, but no one pleaded for mercy.

Eventually, the screams faded away, leaving only the muffled sound of sticks hitting until they disappeared completely.

"The criminal minister Nangong Qing has been ambushed, Your Majesty is wise!" Su Ying stood in place and arched his hand.

"Your Majesty is wise—" The voices of countless courtiers resounded in an instant.

"Your Majesty." Su Ying didn't look at Nangong Rui at all, raised her chin slightly, and said, "His Royal Highness assisted His Majesty to ascend the throne, and he is loyal, so he should be rewarded as an official." ”

Su Ying paused, "Please make Your Majesty the regent of the Demon Realm, and have full authority to help Your Majesty manage all the affairs of the Demon Realm." Command the six divisions of the demon world, and command the tiger and wolf army left and right in the demon world. ”

A trace of resistance flashed in Nangong Rui's eyes, but he quickly disappeared into powerlessness, and finally said slowly: "What the third prince said is reasonable, and it is ......."

"See Regent." All the courtiers knelt down very neatly.

Su Ying continued with satisfaction: "Prime Minister Xiao Qian is loyal to the demon world and has extraordinary abilities, so I ask Your Majesty to hand over the matter of taking charge of the treasury to Prime Minister Xiao Cheng. We will live up to Your Majesty's trust. ”

Su Ying didn't even arch his hand, just stood in place and looked at the person on the throne.

“…… Quasi-......"

"Your Majesty is wise."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xiao Qian bowed politely.

"One more thing." Su Ying changed his posture, "This king thinks that the emperor should treat meritorious officials fairly. From now on, this king will not kneel when he sees the emperor, and hope that the emperor will allow it. ”

This is Su Ying's last step, and Nangong Rui's imperial power and imperial authority will be gone from now on.

"You...... Nangong Ying, you deceive people too much! Nangong Rui almost jumped up from his chair, trembling all over.

"Your Majesty, as the Ninety-Five, please pay attention to every word you say." Su Ying looked at him and squinted indifferently.

Facing that delicate face, Nangong Ruise shrank for a moment,

"Your Majesty, please think again—" The ministers' voices were more coherent than before.

Su Ying crossed her arms and looked at Nangong Rui with a smile.

Nangong Rui sat high on the upper dragon chair, as if he was struggling for a moment. His lips squirmed a few times before he slowly spat out a word.

“…… Permit. ”

Nangong Rui finally sat back on the dragon chair with an expressionless face, as if he had aged a hundred years in an instant.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Su Ying yawned impatiently and said, "This king is a little tired, so let's get here first." Retreat. He turned and walked away.

Before he stepped out of the hall, a loud and neat voice came from behind him:

"Ministers send the Regent—"

The voice was also mixed with the voice of the little eunuch: "Retreat from the dynasty-"
