Chapter 131: The Dust Has Settled
It was getting dark, outside the palace.
The dust has settled.
The officials and nobles were invited to come, only to see that the entire imperial city was almost destroyed.
Earnest stood on the white stone slab, behind him were many cronies, many of whom couldn't help but show the posture of a victor, after the death of the great prince, as the known biggest supporter, Earnest easily took over the command of the Sixth Legion.
There was a hint of anger between the eyebrows of the Commander of the Guards, who had returned in a hurry today, and the marquis in his south was slaughtered by Estes, and now it seems that he must have a lot to do with the right minister.
"Ornest, let's not talk about anything else, the royal family is dead, the thousand-year-old empire is dying today, what kind of face do you and I have to live." The Commander of the Guards asked.
"Rest easy." Earnest shook his head and smiled, the thorn and the horse's head, the second of the four demons of the rakshasas, were leading troops to pick up the future monarch, and after the royal family withered, he would be the real master of the empire.
Everyone calmed down when they saw that Earnest was in control, and the serious consequences of the severance of legitimacy were by no means something that could be exaggerated by pretentious gestures.
Half an hour later, a cavalry force quickly approached along the main road of the imperial city, the leader was dressed in a black fox fur, riding on a huge flame tiger, the boy in his arms was pale, and his expression was frightened and hesitant, but no one cared about this, everyone's eyes were on his algae green hair.
Extremely clear sighs came and went, the boulder in everyone's hearts fell to the ground, and the eldest prince led the army to break through the imperial city, but no one expected that the other party was so mad that he would destroy his fellow clan, and the extermination of the clan was just that, and the death was strange, no different from waste.
"Greetings to Your Majesty!"
There is no need to communicate, the officials and nobles have already made the same choice, they are vested interests in the rules, and the imperial power is the core of the rules, and the boy at the moment is more important than anything else.
Only Earnest stared at the comer, the young man riding behind the Flame Tiger to be precise, and the opponent's shot was so precise and deadly that he had to suspect that there was a traitor on his left and right.
Jiang Yuan turned over and landed on the ground, leading the boy to the ministers, and many people were secretly surprised at this time, because the boy had an inconspicuous scar on the side of his face, but as a monarch, this would be a major defect.
It's just that the empire has no choice.
"Your Majesty, I haven't seen you for many days, and I don't think about the food you want."
Earnest ran to the boy and knelt down, tears streaming out of his eyes, crying genuinely and painfully.
"Chancellor...... I. ”
The boy stopped talking, but in the end he didn't refuse the other party's hug.
Jiang Yuan's expression was calm, and Zhu Tian's matter could only tear a crack in the little emperor's heart at most, because under normal circumstances, a child's trust in his father is sometimes bottomless, and he didn't intuitively feel Earnest's betrayal, and the little emperor had countless reasons to convince himself, of course, it is impossible to completely obey like in the original timeline, which is almost equivalent to a puppet.
The scar on his face will always remind the new emperor.
"Your Majesty, the country cannot be without a king for a day."
"I see, Earl Knorr."
Even children have a general understanding of the preciousness of the throne, and the people talk about the fear of time, the loyalty and courage of the soldiers when they go on battle, and the rarest treasure in the world.
Earnest got up and looked at Jiang Yuan, the murderous intent in his eyes was undisguised, from today onwards, the two sides were enemies.
"Right minister, please first."
"Don't dare, naturally Your Majesty is at the forefront."
Jiang Yuan shook his head, stepped forward to hold the little emperor's hand, Earnest is probably used to conspiracy, children will instinctively look for support when they enter a strange and complex environment, treat the emperor, calculation is a bit inferior in comparison, and the trust of his people is the source of power.
"Then Your Majesty, I'll lead you away."
"Thank you, Count."
"The Emperor can't say thank you."
"I see."
"Call me."
"Oh, I know."
"Don't learn from me."
Earnest was stunned for a moment, then his eyes were gloomy, he was indeed not very good at dealing with children.
Jiang Yuan nodded secretly, a waterboarding, a scar, at some point in the future, he may be able to make the boy a rich idler, although he thinks that this is a little stupid in the struggle, but who made this guy very obedient, and also paid the price for the future, provided that there are other ideas that should not be had.
However, if you use Zen Rang, you can inherit the legal principles of the empire for thousands of years, and it can actually be regarded as very profitable.
……
On June 12, 1021, the war for the throne, known as the "Blood Moon Change", ended.
The emperor disappeared, four princes died, and the rest of the imperial blood was almost dead, and for the first time since the founding of the country, the imperial blood withered to this extent.
The only remaining Elry Landrick ascended the throne.
Earnest became the Left Chancellor.
Midgard became the Right Minister.
The former Left Chancellor Mulley was given to die.
Judging from the situation on the night of the Blood Moon Change, Mu Li also secretly contributed a lot, but under the slander of the new ministers, the little emperor still did not hesitate to give the order to give death.
The upper position is to kill the Yuan Cong, which makes the ministers extremely trance-like.
Before he died, Mulley had only one word:
Your Majesty's father, green out of blue.
Earnest helped translate it, and in simple terms, it was a curse.
Three days later, the Muliyi tribe.
On June 17, the Imperial Emperor promised Estes and his headquarters the position of Imperial General, and Estes agreed to strike his troops and return to the outskirts of the Imperial Capital with Bude's department.
On June 20th, when the government returned to normal, there was a sudden change in the northland of Berkshire, and the Taishou was assassinated and finally killed, and the right minister Midgard ordered Earl Tius to temporarily replace the Taishou, considering the need to restore order as soon as possible, Berkshire would no longer need to pay taxes to the center from now on.
The deputy general of the Fifth Army Corps, Le Su, was promoted to the commander of the general, and in order to fill the combat strength of the Central Army, the Second and Fifth Army Corps were given the right to recruit troops freely.
On 22 June, Olnest, the Left Minister, ordered the former assassination commander Gozzi to reorganize the Imperial Assassination Agency.
On June 23rd, the Right Minister Midgard ordered that all efforts be made to search for traces of the super-dangerous species within and outside the empire, and those who have valid information will be honored by the Earl.
On June 27, an important minister instructed the little emperor to start contacting government affairs.
In the afternoon, the little emperor ordered him to be killed.
That night, the right minister Midgard ordered to collect alchemy books within the empire, and those who have merit will be given a hundred gold.
On June 28, an important minister issued an order that the unwarranted interference of the left and right ministers in government affairs should be prohibited.
In the afternoon, the little emperor ordered him to be killed with a rod.
According to the family biography of a certain duke, at this point, the empire entered the dark moment after the change of the blood moon, two ugly giant beasts leaned on the imperial giant and desperately absorbed nutrients, the people's livelihood mourned, the dynasty was sluggish, and the rebellion in various places increased significantly.
The ministers frantically excluded dissidents, and General Bud tried his best to protect the officials of the conscience faction, but he was still unable to do so.
In just five years, in the blink of an eye.
