Chu Wuque and Chu Wushuang looked at Chu Wuming in horror. Who would have thought that Chu Wuming would really rebel?
Faced with the gazes of the two brothers, Chu Wuming only indifferently glanced at them. Soon after, his gaze landed on Chu Mu as he calmly spoke.
"Father, I have no choice but to do this. Furthermore, I feel that I am the most suitable candidate for the position of Crown Prince. Eldest Brother is ruthless while Second Brother is irritable and tyrannical. If the two of them take the position of Crown Prince, it will only harm the empire."
Now that things had developed to this point, there was no longer a need to hide anything anymore. Therefore, Chu Wuming also revealed the last layer of the window paper. His meaning was already very clear. The position of the crown prince could only be taken by him, Chu Wuming.
Hearing this, Chu Mu revealed a bitter smile. "Do you still have me, your father, in your heart?"
"Of course. I am the son of Father. Blood is thicker than water. Naturally, I have Father in my heart," Chu Wuming replied calmly.
"Haha, good. What a good 'blood is thicker than water'. Tell me, are the Blood Moon Guards still around?" Chu Mu asked with a clear laugh.
Although he had already guessed what happened to the Blood Moon Guards, Chu Mu still wanted Chu Wuming to tell him personally. Perhaps Chu Wuming did not kill them and only locked them up?
He still had a last strand of hope for the Blood Moon Guards. However, this last strand of hope was instantly shattered along with Chu Wuming's reply.
"Father, the Blood Moon Guards betrayed the empire and were all killed by me. Due to the urgency of the situation, I did not have the time to ask for instructions from Father. I hope Father can punish me."
It's over. The Blood Moon Guards were completely annihilated. Hearing Chu Wuming's words, Chu Mu's face turned even paler. He smiled weakly. "Good. Betraying the empire. Good job, my son."
Now that the Mountain Suppressing Army had surrounded the Imperial Capital and the Blood Moon Guards were all annihilated, Chu Mu could be said to have no power left to stop Chu Wuming.
Following Chu Mu's words, Xiao Chen, the four elders of the Celestial Equal Sect, Zhao Feng, and the other generals of the four armies, as well as thousands of soldiers from the Mountain Suppressing Army charged into the Martial Palace. Without saying anything, these soldiers immediately took control of all the officials and generals present.
Facing these soldiers from the Mountain Suppressing Army, although the cultivation of the officials and generals was higher, no one resisted. This was not strange. Now that the situation was over, resistance was futile.
At the same time, Zhao Feng and the others personally sealed the cultivation of Chu Wuque and Chu Wushuang.
Facing Zhao Feng and the others, the four generals of the Crown Prince's Palace. "Do you know what you're doing? I'm the Second Prince. If you dare to treat me like this, I'll definitely exterminate your entire family in the future. "
Compared to Chu Wuming's anger, Chu Wuque was strangely calm. He allowed Zhao Feng and the others to seal his cultivation. He knew very well that he no longer had a future. Now that Chu Wuming was about to take control, the two of them did not have much time left.
After successfully taking control of the Martial Palace, Zhao Feng and the other generals immediately knelt down in front of Chu Wuming and shouted. "Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Chu Mu had yet to give a decree, but the generals were already calling Chu Wuming the Crown Prince. Chu Wuming did not reject this and said calmly. "Generals, rise."
"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Since the Martial Palace was controlled, so was the entire Imperial Palace. It was at this moment that Chu Qingshan, Chu Mu Bai, the Burning Sky Ruler, and the other two emperors of the Moonless Empire appeared.
His gaze swept over everyone present. Then, Chu Qingshan's gaze landed on Tian Guochuan and the other three elders of the Celestial Equal Sect. He said with a bitter smile, "Elder Tian, I didn't think that the Celestial Equal Sect would interfere. We haven't seen each other in fifty years, right?"
"Fifty-eight years," Tian Guochuan nodded and replied.
"Yeah, it's been 58 years. Time really flies." Hearing Tian Guochuan's reply, Chu Qingshan sighed and then looked at Chu Wuming.
"Nameless, can you follow me to the back garden for a walk? You and I haven't spoken in a long time. "
Chu Qingshan invited Chu Wuming. Hearing this, Chu Wuming nodded and didn't refuse. Xiao Chen didn't stop this because Chu Qingshan wouldn't harm Chu Wuming.
Today's matter was an internal affair of the Imperial Palace. Chu Wuming could be said to be Chu Qingshan's descendant. Therefore, to Chu Qingshan, since Chu Wuming had gained power, he wouldn't stop him. As long as the throne was still in the hands of the Chu Family, Chu Qingshan and Chu Mu Bai, the two emperors, could accept it.
Chu Qingshan and Chu Wuming slowly walked out of the Martial Palace. As for Chu Mu Bai, he stayed behind. His goal was clear: to protect Chu Mu.
Walking in the Imperial Palace, Chu Qingshan calmly said, "Nameless, how do you plan on treating Wuque and Wushuang, your two brothers?"
He didn't oppose Chu Wuming being in power, because Chu Wuming was also a member of the Chu Family. Moreover, no matter who was in power, it didn't affect Chu Qingshan and Chu Mubai, the two retired emperors. This was because they were already outside of imperial authority. Therefore, in Chu Qingshan's opinion, what he cared about the most right now was how Chu Wuming planned to deal with Chu Wuque and Chu Wushuang.
"Ancestor wants me to let them go?" Hearing Chu Qingshan's words, Chu Wuming didn't answer and instead asked a question.
Towards this, Chu Qingshan didn't do anything. He nodded honestly and said, "After all, the three of you are blood brothers. If possible, let them go."
They were all members of the Chu Family and were all his descendants. Therefore, he didn't want Chu Wuming and his brothers to kill each other.
Hearing Chu Qingshan's words, Chu Wuming was silent for a moment before speaking.
"Ancestor, do you think that if I let the two of them go, they will be deeply grateful to me? No, they will only secretly develop their power and try to take back power from me. "
"Therefore, does ancestor think that the Moonless Empire can still be stable? Ancestor, I am a member of the Chu Family and a descendant of the Imperial Family. My wish is for the Moonless Empire to become strong until one day, the Moonless Empire can dominate Dan Yang County. "
"Therefore, no matter if it's for public or private reasons, I cannot let the two of them live. Chu Wuque and Chu Wushuang must die."
"Then what about your father? Will he be killed as well? "Chu Qingshan continued to ask.
"I won't kill my father. Instead, I will let my father enjoy his remaining years." Chu Wuming replied.
He wouldn't kill Chu Mu, but the power in Chu Mu's hands must be handed over. After that, Chu Wuming would let Chu Mu enjoy his remaining years in the Imperial Palace and peacefully live out the rest of his life.
Hearing Chu Wuming's words, Chu Qingshan lightly sighed and indifferently said, "Fine, we'll do as you say. However, I have a condition. Your father's throne can't be touched by you for fifty years. However, you can control the power and govern the empire as the crown prince. After fifty years, I will have your father give up the throne to you."
