The next day, inside the palace hall.

Zhong Zhengfu sat on the imperial chair, and Nian Junzhong stood aside with a sword.

The ministers in the audience were all standing silent at this time, they were awakened last night, and many people vaguely guessed something, but they didn't dare to believe it, they didn't expect to come together this morning, and they learned the news that the prince coup d'état, His Majesty was killed by the great priest and the national teacher.

Zhong Zhengfu sat on the imperial chair, his face was full of embarrassment, he lowered his head and pulled the corner of Nian Junzhong's clothes, Nian Junzhong nodded, and then looked at the audience and no one in the audience congratulated the new emperor, and immediately became furious, drew his sword and shouted: "The king is brutal, he has been killed, and he has become the new emperor, and you still don't congratulate the new emperor, and don't you kneel long live?"

The general was surprised by this, and the prince was a great unfilial ——。 A minister stood up, and before he finished speaking, he was directly slashed to death by Nian Junzhong with a sword, and immediately the blood flowed into the hall.

"Come on, go and take this rebel minister to punish the nine clans. Nian Junzhong said coldly, "Who dares to object, punish its nine clans, and still bow down?"

The ministers were immediately frightened, and they knelt on the ground and shouted: "Congratulations to the new emperor, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live, great general thousand years old, thousand years old." ”

Nian Junzhong saw this satisfaction and nodded.

At the end of the court meeting, under the decision of Nian Junzhong, the enthronement ceremony will be held tomorrow, and the ministers have also expressed their approval.

At this time, in the harem house, Fang Yu, the three demons, the prince and others sat at a table.

"Jun Zhong, thanks to you. ”

Zhong Zhengfu looked embarrassed.

"It's okay, we're brothers. Nian Junzhong said with a smile.

Fang Yu smiled lightly when he saw this, according to the temperament of this new emperor, I am afraid that this year, Jun Zhong will have power in the future.

"This time, thanks to His Royal Highness the Great Priest and the National Teacher, there are still two ~. Zhong Zhengfu looked at Da Qi and Yu'er, wanted to speak and stopped, he didn't know how to call it for a while, and suddenly his face was a little embarrassed, he went to the palace last night, and saw the two of them standing in the corpse gang of their father and emperor angrily, and he understood

"Your Majesty is gracious. Da seemed to bow slightly, "But here the slave maid has one more thing to ask His Majesty." ”

"Oh, please. ”

Da seemed to have a deep voice, her face full of sincerity, "Presumably the crown prince and General Nian also know our true identity, we have sneaked into the palace all these years just to prevent your father from slaughtering the Lishan Demon Clan, and now that your father is dead, I beg Your Majesty, don't be like your father in the future, don't innocently slaughter the Lishan Demon Clan, is it okay?"

Zhong Zhengfu listened, remembering that when he accompanied his father to leave the mountain every year, those dead demon beasts, and the demon beasts that were brutally cooked during various banquets, he suddenly couldn't bear it, and nodded slightly, "Don't worry, I won't, you don't have to worry about this." ”

Nian Junzhong also laughed: "You don't have to worry about this, I promised for Your Majesty here, from today onwards, a radius of 100 miles from the mountain will be set up as an exclusive residential area for the mountain demon clan, and no people will be allowed to live in it, and no one will be allowed to enter and disturb it without permission, otherwise it will be against my royal family, what do you think?"

Da seemed to be overjoyed suddenly, "The slave maid is here to thank Your Majesty for the Lishan Demon Clan, and thank the New Year's General." ”

Dai Zhujun and Yu'er also smiled with high chests.

Several people began to discuss how to reorganize the imperial court and the Xijun war, which is also what Fang Yu is worried about, now that the king is dead, the task is equivalent to half of the completion, and the rest is to pacify the war in the Xijun and completely end the chaos of leaving the country, and their plot tasks can be completed, but they have to speed up as soon as possible, this plot task is only three months,

"Can three months end the war in West County? Fang Yu said with concern.

Nian Junzhong's face was embarrassed, "I'm afraid three months is a bit difficult, according to the secret report from my brother just now, the Xijun thief army has become a momentum, with millions of people, known as the new army, the leader is called a woman Chen Yan, whose realm has reached the initial level of Jindan, the strength is profound, it is difficult to deal with, I estimate that even if everything goes well, it will take half a year for other counties to support, it will take half a year to calm down this war." ”

Fang Yu listened, his face was difficult to look at, it was still half a year, if he didn't complete this task for three months, the oracle token would be withdrawn, and he didn't know what would happen then, this oracle token was a symbol of the god's position, if it was taken back, his position as the oracle chief priest would not be guaranteed, so he said in a fixed voice: "No matter what method you use, the war must be pacified within three months." ”

"But Your Highness the Priest, I'm afraid this is ——。 Zhong Zhengfu was about to tell him that this was completely impossible, but was pulled by Nian Junzhong and interrupted him.

Nian Junzhong immediately said: "Since His Royal Highness the Great Priest has spoken, I will definitely follow it, and at all costs, to quell the war as soon as possible." ”

Fang Yu nodded, "I will go to Xijun in person in a few days, I hope you don't disappoint me." ”

He turned his head and looked at the three of the national teachers again, and said with a smile, "If the national teacher and Da Qiyu'er are okay, can you also accompany me to Xijun?" ”

Fang Yu thought about it, there are many people and great strength, and if you can pull a few more, you can pull a few more, so that the chance of ending the war within three months is also greater.

"The three of us are at the mercy of His Highness the Priest, and besides, part of the conflict in this war is caused by us, and we have the responsibility to end this war. Dai Zhujun said.

Fang Yu nodded, and then talked to Nian Junzhong about the war in Xijun, all along, the generals who pacified Xijun were Nian Junzhong's elder brother Nian Junbo, and Nian Junbo was also responsible for the defense of Xiguan, an important pass in the western part of the country.

Xijun is close to Xizhou, the people are fierce, there are wars all the year round, the demon clan of Xizhou often goes south to trouble Xijun, the natural environment is bad, and there are nine years of drought in ten years.

Therefore, the people's livelihood in Xijun has been withering, and the people are often displaced.

However, in the past, according to the custom, as long as there was a disaster in Xijun, the imperial court would reduce taxes and allocate food from other counties to them, so although the people of Xijun lived a hard life, with the support of the imperial court, they could barely get by, let alone think of rebellion.

But three years ago, there was another major drought in Xijun, and the Xizhou demon clan also took the opportunity to go south to slaughter and loot, the people of Xijun originally thought that the imperial court would send troops to support as before, and no matter how bad it was, they would transfer some food to them, but for three months, they did not see anyone from the imperial court, and there was no news of the people sent by the Xijun government to leave Beijing, and finally sent several waves of people in a row, and finally someone came back with the news, originally everyone was overjoyed, but they didn't expect the news brought by the person was that Wangxi County solved the suffering by itself, and the taxes were as usual this year.

The people of Xijun were in an uproar and couldn't believe it, and finally after a few days, they finally had to face this reality, that is, the court didn't care about them.

So the angry and hungry people rushed to the government and questioned the government Yin, who couldn't bear the suffering and starvation of the people at that time, so he released official food privately, temporarily alleviating the famine in Xijun, and the people also began to save themselves and form an armed force to resist the demon beasts.

But not long after, the people of the imperial court came, they did not come to relieve the disaster, but because of the king's decree, overhaul the palace, to increase taxes to various counties, collect grain and labor, as a result, the imperial court's granary saw that it was empty, and after learning that the palace Yin had released grain privately, the king was furious, and ordered the execution of the palace Yin.
