In the end, Chu Qingshan chose to compromise. However, he raised a condition. Within fifty years, Chu Wuming couldn't touch Chu Mu's throne. He could seize power and manage the empire as the Crown Prince, but he couldn't remove Chu Mu's position.
Faced with Chu Qingshan's condition, Chu Wuming pondered for a moment before nodding in agreement. Chu Wuming's condition didn't mean much to him. As long as he could control power, it didn't matter if he ascended to the capital or not.
Seeing Chu Wuming nod, Chu Qingshan didn't say anything else. Today's events happened too suddenly. Chu Qingshan couldn't stop anything. Moreover, if Chu Qingshan insisted on stopping it, the Moonless Empire would probably fall into chaos.
An hour later, Chu Wuming and Chu Qingshan returned to Wuhe Palace. Chu Qingshan personally gave the order to confer Chu Wuming as the Moonless Empire's Crown Prince.
Following Chu Qingshan's words, the faces of all the nobles in Wuhe Palace changed. They all knew that from today onwards, the Moonless Empire's sky would probably change. Chu Wuque and Chu Wushuang were completely finished. At the same time, Chu Mu would probably only be an emperor in name. After all, from Chu Wuming's actions today, he definitely wouldn't return all of his power to Chu Mu. Moreover, it wouldn't be long before the Moonless Empire would be swept up in a bloody storm.
Especially those families and nobles that relied on Chu Wuque and Chu Wushuang. Their fates probably wouldn't be any better.
After announcing Chu Wuming as the Crown Prince, Chu Qingshan looked at Tian Guochuan and the other four Tianqi Sect Elders and said, "Elder Tian, do you want to come to my place for a drink?"
"Haha, Brother Chu's invitation is only natural. Let's go." Hearing this, Tian Guochuan laughed.
Immediately after, Chu Qingshan, Chu Mu Bai, Tian Guochuan and the others left. Chu Mu also left Wuhe Palace under the accompaniment of several people from the temple, returning to the harem. The following matters would naturally be decided by Chu Wuming. If Chu Mu continued to stay here, he would only be asking for trouble.
Everyone left one after another. At the same time, Xiao Chen also bid farewell to Chu Wuming and left the Wuhe Palace. Now that the Imperial Capital had basically stabilized, Xiao Chen wasn't too interested in the upcoming purge of the Imperial Court. Moreover, this was originally Chu Wuming's matter. Now, Xiao Chen still had to bring Bai Ruyue back to the Imperial Capital to settle down.
Chu Wuming's gaze swept over everyone present. Then, names were called out one by one. These names were all Chu Wuque and Chu Wushuang's people. Towards these people, Chu Wuming naturally wouldn't have the slightest bit of mercy. He directly ordered them to be locked up in the Celestial prison.
Everything happened so unexpectedly. Nearly half of the Imperial Court officials were locked up. As for the others, Chu Wuming allowed them to return, but they weren't allowed to leave the Imperial Capital.
After resolving the problem of the Imperial Court officials, the next step was Chu Wuque and Chu Wushuang. Chu Wuming naturally had to take care of the two of them. He ordered them to be locked up separately, with the Mountain Subduing Army personally guarding them.
In the next few days, as expected, the entire Imperial Capital, and even the entire Moonless Empire, was swept up in a storm of blood. In just a short seven days.
The forces of Chu Wuque and Chu Wushuang were uprooted. Those who were loyal to the two of them, without exception, were all killed. For a time, the Moonless Empire could be said to have undergone a drastic change.
In this matter, Chu Wuming displayed his decisive side. He eliminated all potential dangers. At the same time, the authority of the entire Moonless Empire was firmly controlled by Chu Wuming. Although it wasn't stable yet, it couldn't cause any big waves.
For seven consecutive days, Chu Wuming could be said to have been extremely busy. As for Xiao Chen, he stayed in the Heavenly Stellar Residence. He cultivated while accompanying his mother, Bai Ruyue. He didn't care about the matters of the outside world at all.
After stabilizing the situation in the Moonless Empire, Chu Wuming promoted a group of people who were finally loyal to him. Especially those important positions, Chu Wuming changed them all to his own trusted subordinates.
After doing all this, Chu Wuming finally arrived at Chu Wuque and Chu Wushuang's prison in the middle of the night.
The two of them were locked up alone. Moreover, they weren't in the Celestial prison. Instead, they were in the backyard of the Imperial Palace. A small courtyard was specially set aside for the two of them to live in. However, the surroundings of the courtyard were filled with soldiers of the Mountain Suppressing Army.
Striding into the courtyard, the three brothers met again. However, Chu Wuming was wearing a purplish-gold dragon robe, while Chu Wushuang and Chu Wuque were wearing prison clothes. At the same time, their cultivations were sealed and they appeared extremely haggard.
Sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard, Chu Wuming looked at the two of them and said indifferently, "This might be the last time we meet."
"What did you say? Chu Wuming, you want to kill us? Father won't let you off if you do this. " Chu Wuming's voice was very calm, but the meaning was very clear. Hearing this, Chu Wushuang immediately shouted angrily. As he cursed, he wanted to charge forward. However, just as Chu Wushuang moved, Zhao Feng, who was behind Chu Wuming, kicked Chu Wushuang far away.
Compared to Chu Wushuang's rage, Chu Wuming was very calm. He looked at the stone bench beside Chu Wuming and said calmly, "Can I sit?"
"Big Brother, please."
Sitting down, Chu Wuque looked at Chu Wuming, who was wearing a dragon robe, and a bitter smile appeared on his face. Then, he said slowly, "I never took you seriously.
"I've never taken you seriously. But who would have thought that while my second brother and I were fighting to the death, you had already gained control of millions of soldiers? I know your purpose for coming here tonight and I don't expect you to let me go. After all, if I were you today, I would have done the same. But, my second brother's mother and I …" Sheyan's eyes widened. His heart was filled with hatred.
Chu Wuque said. He didn't expect Chu Wuming to let him off, but he hoped that Chu Wuming would let their mother go. They were both Chu Mu's concubines when they were young.
Hearing Chu Wuming's words, Chu Wuming took a deep breath. A complicated look flashed through his eyes, and he said, "Since ancient times, the path of Emperors' corpses has been the most merciless. Big Brother, there are many things that I don't have a choice in."
Hearing Chu Wuming's words, Chu Wuque fell silent. He already knew what Chu Wuming meant. It was impossible. Anyone related to Chu Wuming and Chu Wushuang must die.
Many people thought that Emperors were supreme, but who knew that there were many things that Emperors didn't have a choice in.
Chu Wuming slowly stood up. He had said enough. He took out two pots of poisoned wine from his storage ring and slowly placed them on the stone table. Then, he took a deep breath and said, "This is the only thing that I can do to let Big Brother and Second Brother have some dignity."
After speaking, Chu Wuming left with Zhao Feng, leaving behind the two pots of fragrant poisoned wine, the silent Chu Wushuang, and the crying Chu Wuming.
