The next day, the execution proceeded as usual.

At the booth outside the palace, countless people were watching, and a few days ago, the imperial capital proclamator personally issued a notice that two core members of the Oberg assassination association would be executed in public.

The document mentions in detail the crimes committed by this organization, as an assassination force, Oberg does not take a stand, as long as the funds are available, then anyone can be the target of assassination, and more than three Taishou people have become their hunting targets in the past ten years.

At noon, two masked prisoners were beheaded amid the shouts of the public, and some tycoons paid a lot of money to buy the bodies of the criminals, and if they could be sold to the families of the former victims, it might be a big profit.

In the stands, General Bude had a solemn face, and he didn't reply: "Just take two death row prisoners as a number, you can't help but take me too seriously, Earl Midgart, even if there are extenuating circumstances, but use is use, you can discuss with me in advance." ”

Last night, the Imperial Capital Prison was completely destroyed, and the commotion almost woke up the entire capital, and the people may not know what happened, but in the eyes of the nobles and officials, all the clues were revealed afterwards.

"But the successful killing of the leader of the association in Olberg is a given fact, and it is completely enough to offset the credit, do you want my subordinates to pay for their lives? The generals who once went deep into the hinterland of the grassland to capture the clan king did not get the treatment they deserved at all, and they didn't even have a decent banquet, and what they should question was the status quo of the empire. ”

Next to her, Estes sat cross-legged in a chair with a look of idleness, as the leader of the Earnest faction, she didn't need to be too polite to Bud, it was better to say that fighting directly with the other party was what she wanted, if it weren't for the fact that the identities of the two sides were too big, she would have invited to a duel a long time ago.

"Hmph, don't have a problem with the Southwest Expedition in the near future, whether you can be tied with me depends on this opportunity, I hope you can go well." General Bude got up and left with a cold face.

Jiang Yuan continued to flip through the alchemy notes, he was now both a fiefdom nobleman and a general-level military attaché, and in general he could be regarded as a high-level member of the empire, this little problem could not shake his position, at most he would pay a little benefit afterwards.

Now the number of dolls in the eight rooms of the deceased's march has been restored, and the overall number has returned to seven.

Snake puppet, eagle puppet, tiger puppet, blood shield puppet, military music puppet, insect woman puppet, earth dragon puppet.

As for the last spot, Jiang Yuan intends to leave it for the super dangerous species, but in this era, the premise of killing the super dangerous species is to be able to find it.

A thousand years ago, the extremely powerful empire hunted this extremely dangerous prey, causing the number of super dangerous species to plummet, and even if they were lucky enough to survive, those guys with intelligence comparable to humans also understood that the overlord of the era had transposed, and would only hide in remote places, and if they wanted to lock on to their targets, they had to have sufficient manpower and material resources.

……

Rather than the execution of inconsequential criminals, the nobles and officials of the imperial capital paid more attention to the Imperial Council.

With the deliberate connivance of the Emperor, two princes have already died, a marquis of the empire has been forced to rebel, and a large number of elite aristocratic armies have been spent in meaningless wars.

The day the Imperial Council reconvenes means that the game for the throne is coming to an end.

Baiguan came to the palace again, the Great Prince's faction occupied three central legions, as the primary supporter, Earnest's power spread all over the court, no matter how you look at it, the three princes are vulnerable in front of their brothers.

According to the usual practice, the next prince only needs to knock down the opponent, show his strength by giving advice, and then attract the favor and support of those neutral courtiers, and finally take advantage of the situation to become the crown prince, even the emperor is not good to refuse in this situation.

"Your Majesty, the third prince has misbehaved, and on the day of the death of the fourth prince, he stayed at the dancer's house at night, which is really contrary to human morality."

"Your Majesty, the three princes are reckless, and in recent years, dozens of servants have been killed for no reason, and the ministers have tangible evidence, and the murder is so profound that it is enough to show that they have no virtue as a king."

"Your Majesty, the third prince is more than twenty years old, he has not made an inch, and he is useless in the eyes of the people, the eldest prince is loyal to the country and quells the rebels, if you talk about war achievements, the two cannot be compared at all."

More than a dozen important ministers came out one after another to admonish, and many more bowed their heads in the queue to express their approval, Earnest and Mulley did not say a word, as long as there is a prince who can succeed to the throne, his majesty can abdicate with dignity.

"What do you mean, you might as well say it bluntly."

The emperor sat on his throne sideways, fed seasonal fruits and vegetables by a beautiful woman, and his expression was wanton and relaxed.

"The three princes have no virtue, no talent, no merit and no results, please deprive them of all their titles and degrade them to concubines."

The Imperial Treasurer stood out of the queue, he was one of the core figures of the Earnest faction, and his speech at this moment basically represented the attitude of the entire faction, in order not to irritate the sensitive nerves of the emperor, he deliberately avoided the topic of the crown prince.

The eldest prince glanced at the treasurer, and the other party came forward at this time with the intention of asking for merit and reward, of course, after ascending the throne, he would not refuse this kind of clear investment.

Jiang Yuan was wearing a courtier's black fox suit, standing behind Earnest, he had already adjusted his mentality, if the emperor didn't work hard, it would be against the nature of a happy person.

On the throne, the emperor bowed his head lightly and said with a smile: "Actually, I don't deny that the third prince is a waste, and what you said makes sense, then remove the duke's title and fief, fill the tenth army with private soldiers, and then take away the position of adjutant of advice, and never hire in the future, how about it." ”

"Your Majesty."

The praise of the ministers enveloped the entire palace for a while.

"Still." The emperor swallowed a mouthful of flesh and continued: "Although the third prince is stupid, the empire is lacking a king who is ready to be successful at this time, and it happens that he is clean, so let's be the crown prince." ”

The third prince, who had already given up, suddenly raised his head, his face still had disbelief remaining, and the eldest prince gritted his teeth and lowered his head, his fists squeaked.

"No, Your Majesty!"

"How does this work?"

"Ridiculous, Your Majesty."

The ministers are almost crazy, once the third prince ascends to the throne, where can they, the supporters of the big prince, get a good death.

The emperor said unhurriedly: "The eldest prince can fight well, just lead the troops to quell the rebellion in various places, brothers, friends and brothers, the great cause of Zhongxing is just around the corner, I still have something to do, you can disperse." ”

The royal guards got up and left with the emperor, and before he walked out of the palace hall, this majesty suddenly burst out laughing, if it weren't for the guards' support, he would have almost laughed so much that he couldn't stand up straight, that group of fools really thought that the combined advice could influence the emperor's will, it was really ridiculous, what to do with the rules, it was not up to him to have the final say.

The hearty laughter was undisguised mockery, like a loud slap in the face.
