Chapter 116: Outwitting the New King (I)
Soon, Chopper was waiting with his ministers in the Condor Temple.
Everyone is talking about it, and now is not the time of the early dynasty, what is the matter of gathering.
In the midst of everyone's discussions, Ye Yuechen and Wen Zhong walked in. Several generals looked at Ye Yuechen with strange looks in their eyes.
"Who are you?" one of them asked, looking directly at Ye Yuechen.
"This is our king, and we must not be rude. Chopper said angrily, and the warrior was startled by Chopper's roar, and hurriedly looked away and stopped talking.
In addition to Chopper, Yue Ji, Wen Zhong, and other ministers of the East Turkist Empire have not seen Ye Yuechen, and when they saw a stranger swaggering into the Condor Palace, it was normal for them to have concerns in their hearts, and when they heard Chopper say that he was the king, they showed an expression of disbelief.
In the Condor Palace, the civil and military generals each stood in a row, and the left was both martial and martial. Ye Yuechen calmly walked through the crowd and walked straight to the innermost imperial chair. Then one turned and sat down, smiling at everyone in front of him.
Almost all of the people's bodies were shocked, trespassing in the Condor Hall was a capital crime, and now the young man in front of him was still sitting in the king's chair. A few people wanted to take him down, but seeing that Qiao Ba was protecting Ye Yuechen so much, they didn't dare to make a move easily.
There was a lot of confusion in the Condor Hall suddenly, and there was only one person, with a smile on his face and a very calm expression. It's not Wen Zhong, it's not Chopper. The man was not young, his forehead was full of wrinkles, and his hair and beard were all gray. I saw him walk out of the crowd, and immediately bowed his hand and said, "See the king." ”
Ye Yuechen's eyes showed appreciation, and he said, "You know me?"
"I don't know. ”
"Then why do you call me the king?"
"First, no one dares to sit in that position except the king, second, because General Qiao has a very respectful attitude towards you, and he can make him do this, and the king is the only one in the empire; third, because of the ring on your hand. The man said this with a smile, but still bent over and stood respectfully in place.
When the others heard this, they shifted their gaze to Ye Yuechen's left thumb, and the thing that glowed faintly was the Biyue Jinhua ring. For these ministers, "seeing the ring is like seeing the king" is a tenet that will never change. So, everyone knelt down one after another, but the doubt and disbelief in their eyes still did not subside.
"Good. Ye Yuechen was overjoyed, but it was not because of everyone's submission to him, but because of the old man, he was very pleased that there was a person with such a careful mind and such careful observation among the ministers.
Ye Yuechen sat on the chair of the king of East Turkistan today, which was not his original intention. He was sitting there with Yuno's last wish, and he had to find a way to choose someone who could really take on the responsibility of being the king of East Turkistan, so that his promise to Yuno could be regarded as truly fulfilled.
Prior to this, Ye Yuechen had already figured out the method of selecting the heir to the throne, and from the first step into the Condor Palace, he had begun to quietly pay attention to everyone, and he also had the information of most ministers from Chopper's mouth. In front of these civil and military ministers, Ye Yuechen is just a junior, and it seems a bit tricky to let him choose and test the ministers, but he has such power now, at least now he is the king of East Turkistan.
"Guys, I'm sorry I didn't say hello. I know that many of you feel very uncomfortable when you see me sitting here, but I want to say, even if you don't know me, you must know these two things in my hand, right?" Ye Yuechen took out the Biyue Jinhua Ring and the Flying Eagle Order together and put them on the table.
But many of the ministers kneeling on the ground are not fuel-efficient lamps, and only two treasures can only convince them superficially. Of course, Ye Yuechen would not think about things so simply, not everyone was as smart as the old minister before.
Among them, there is a minister named Qin Xin, who is extremely dissatisfied with Ye Yuechen, and when Chopper and Yue Ji acted as agents of the country's affairs before, he was also the most opposed. At this moment, his heart is even more full of resentment, in terms of prestige and strength, he is also one of the best in the East Turkistan country, and he is even more afraid that the world will not be chaotic. thought that after Yuri's death, he would have the opportunity to sit on the throne of the king, but he didn't know that he made a trip to bite the gold halfway.
Ye Yuechen also noticed him, so he slowly walked in front of the ministers and said with a smile, "I know you guys want to ask me if the rings and tokens in my hands are real or fake, and I want to know how I got them, right?"
Qin Xin was taken aback when he saw Ye Yuechen suddenly put his head in front of him, and hurriedly laughed, "Don't dare, don't dare." ”
"Hey, there's nothing you don't dare, if you really want to know whether it's true or not, just take it and see it. ”
Ye Yuechen handed the ring to Qin Xin's eyes. Qin Xin wanted to pass on the ring to no one except the king, Ye Yuechen must have thought that he wouldn't dare, so seeing that Ye Yuechen was so active, he also mustered up the courage to take the ring, and he was very proud in his heart, anyway, he didn't snatch it himself, if he didn't look at it, if the ring was fake, it would be better.
But as soon as he took the ring, Ye Yuechen suddenly fell backwards, holding his stomach with his hands and screaming. Qin Xin took the ring and looked at him puzzled, with a burst of inexplicability in his mind. I only heard Ye Yuechen pointing to his nose and saying, "You...... Dare to snatch the king's ring, and return ...... also shot to hurt the king, Wen Zhong, take him down quickly. ”
Wen Zhong also reacted, and hurriedly stepped forward to press Qin Xin down. Qin Xin, who was at a loss, knew that he had fallen for Ye Yuechen's evil deeds at this time, and secretly scolded in his heart, "I did it, the damn was tricked." ”
Qiao Ba watched it very clearly from the side, smiled secretly and helped Ye Yuechen up, and then said to Wen Zhong, "General Wen, Qin Xin dares to snatch the king's heirloom ring in the Condor Palace, and wants to assassinate the king, why don't you take him down to wait for the fate?"
Wen Zhong suddenly realized and forcibly twisted Qin Xin out.
Everyone on their knees was dumbfounded, of course they could see that Ye Yuechen was deliberately blaming Qin Xin, but they didn't expect him to do it so reasonably. Ye Yuechen didn't intend to hide it from everyone, he wanted to take Qin Xin under his knife, and the scene just now was just a signal he sent to everyone: as long as he wanted to make anyone unlucky, he could use any method.
"This guy is really hateful, do you think this king should punish him?" Ye Yuechen also asked deliberately.
When everyone saw that Ye Yuechen had such "insidious" methods, how could they dare to say no, and said yes again and again. Chopper was on the sidelines, but he couldn't hold back anymore and secretly laughed. It's just that he took pity on the innocent Qin Xin, and he was put on a big black pot without saying a word.
Seeing that the ministers were no longer dissatisfied with before, Ye Yuechen's expression became serious, and he sat down on the imperial chair again, and said to everyone, "Everyone, the ring and token in my hand were given by the previous king Yunuo himself, their authenticity, the three generals of Chopper, Yueji and Wenzhong can prove it, I will not unite them to deceive you, right?"
The ministers thought about it and felt that it made sense, Qiao Ba and Yue Ji were the most powerful warriors in the East Turkistan Kingdom, they were loyal to the empire, if Ye Yuechen was a deceitful villain, even if they were martyred, they would not choose to compromise.
"King Yuno has already passed the throne to me, but you don't have to worry, I, Ye Yuechen, think that I am not qualified to be the king of East Turkistan. Moreover, I am not an East Turkistan, and if I were to rule East Turkistan, it would definitely be difficult to convince the people. So, I'm sitting here today for some other purpose. ”
"For another purpose?" everyone began to talk again.
