After returning to the manor, the five of them gathered together.
Shan Gu couldn't wait to ask, "How was it? How was it? What happened after entering the prince's residence? "
After Shirō Makino recounted his experience in the prince's residence, Shan Gu couldn't help but click his tongue in wonder. "He even reminded Prince Huai like that. It seems that those princes with fiefs are really up to something."
Bai Muye nodded his head. "The unexpected fall of the King of Chu might have already disrupted the King of Qi's plans and exposed their intention to remove the vassal lords. As long as there's nothing wrong with the King of Chu's head, they will definitely want to resist."
Chae Yi nodded. "Yes. After all, they have just obtained fiefs and are about to be removed. I'm afraid no one can accept such an outcome."
Lin Zijin said, "In the end, isn't this a disaster caused by King Qi himself?"
"Forget it. This matter has nothing to do with us. With King Qi holding the fort, we don't need to worry too much." Shan Gu said.
"I'm a little worried about the Crown Prince." Shirō Makino sighed softly.
"Don't worry. There are experts in the Imperial Palace. Although the old Emperor has passed away, he has forced himself to live for so long. It's impossible that he didn't leave a backup plan for the Crown Prince. "
In fact, this matter really had nothing to do with Xiao Bai and his group.
Whether it was King Chu or Prince Huai, they were all accidents.
If they hadn't provoked Xiao Bai, how could Xiao Bai have gone against them?
No matter how good his personal relationship with the Crown Prince was, Xiao Bai wouldn't be so free to participate in state affairs.
Because he didn't like these things in the first place.
Otherwise, how could Liu have anything to do with it?
Chae Yi couldn't help but complain. "So, Xiao Bai, your luck is really amazing. There are many good things, but there are also many disasters that come knocking on your door!"
Shan Gu said, "As long as the final result doesn't harm us, then it's a good thing."
Si Yin felt a headache coming on from the side. She felt that these things were simply too depressing. She missed Daqing a little, mainly because she wanted to touch Daqing's head.
In the next few days, the topic of Prince Huai sending someone to assassinate Xiao Bai was still hotly discussed online.
However, as time passed, people gradually began to look forward to another event.
The Crown Prince ascended the throne!
This was a truly important matter.
The night before the coronation.
In the Imperial City.
In many places, powerful auras suddenly soared into the sky!
There were super strong martial artists fighting!
The battle quickly spread to many areas.
No one knew what had happened.
At this moment, the envoys from various countries had already arrived.
At the same time, the secret agents of various countries also rushed madly in the direction of the imperial city.
He wanted to know what had happened.
The last night before the new Emperor ascended the throne.
An announcement was abruptly issued from the general office of the Zulong Empire.
"The four princes, Prince Huai, Prince Lu, Prince Yue, and Prince Yan, along with ten regional princes, conspired to rebel. After being discovered, they resisted stubbornly. Prince Huai was captured on the spot. Prince Lu resisted and was killed. Prince Yue and Prince Yan committed suicide to escape punishment. Among the ten regional princes, seven were captured alive, and three resisted and were killed! "
When this news came out, the world was shocked!
Compared to this, the conflict between Shirō Makino and Prince Huai was nothing.
Even the news of the Crown Prince's coronation the next day was suppressed by this terrifying news.
Not just the Zulong Empire, even the people from the other two empires were all stunned.
What happened to the Zulong Empire?
Were the princes really rebelling?
Were they not lured to the Imperial Star to capture them all?
Were they crazy to rebel at this time?
The waters of this whole matter were simply unfathomable!
However, the people of the Zulong Empire did not panic because of this.
Because Prince Qi and the Crown Prince's actions were too fast!
Fast and ruthless!
In the territories of these princes and regional princes, their subordinates did not even have time to react before they were suddenly suppressed by the super experts and large troops!
No one even knew when the group of people laid in ambush!
Rebellion?
No way.
When the War God Li Yu made his move, how could he give others a chance to breathe?
After so many years, the King of Qi finally revealed his superb military ability and incomparably ruthless iron fist!
In the dungeon of the palace, Prince Huai looked like he was in a daze. Although he was tied up and his face was covered in blood, he seemed to be completely unconscious.
The seven regional princes who were captured all had the same expression.
Li Yu entered the dungeon, and the gazes of the eight princes immediately fell on him.
"Why?" Prince Huai almost instantly snapped out of his stupor and stared at Prince Qi. "Why did it turn out like this? When did you find out? "
Prince Qi also stared at him and the others coldly.
"Ask me why?"
"I want to ask you why!"
"Did I remind you to stop that day? I've told you over and over again to stop! Stop! "
"You think I was talking about Shirō Makino and Lin Zijin? If you can really kill those two little fellows, then you have the ability! "
"Who knows, I might even admire your ability!"
"But did you listen to me?"
Prince Huai's voice was hoarse as he looked at Prince Qi in disbelief. "So you reminded me to stop?"
Prince Qi snorted. "You really think they don't have evidence? In order to bribe Earl Haicheng, you sent people to assassinate Shirō Makino and Lin Zijin. You really think they don't know anything? "
"That's impossible, impossible! Absolutely impossible! " Prince Huai was agitated. His eyes almost popped out as he looked at Prince Qi. "How could they know about our secret plan?"
Prince Qi shrugged. "You ask me, but who should I ask? They know too much. "
Prince Huai: "…"
The remaining seven prefectural princes, especially Feixian Prefectural Prince, were filled with regret.
Previously, he even sent the crown prince of the prefectural prince's residence to test Shirō Makino. Now that he thought about it, Shirō Makino was like the biggest fool in the world.
He must be laughing at them for being a bunch of idiotic princes.
Prince Qi looked at them with a pained expression. "I knew that removing the vassal lords would make some of you want to rebel. But I didn't expect the four imperial princes and ten prefectural princes. Heh, you're amazing. So many of you actually joined forces … Only the three prefectural princes didn't participate. But they knew what you were thinking. Haha, hahaha! The blood in the bones of our Li royal clan is really unyielding! "
"Isn't it all your fault!" Prince Huai roared agitatedly. His voice was hoarse and his expression was ferocious. "If it wasn't for you, how could we have fallen to this state today?"
"Blame me?" Prince Qi laughed coldly. "Just you bunch of trash? You're like clowns! You still want to rebel? How dare you all! The reason I pushed for the enfeoffment back then was to let my royal brother know that I had the ability! As for the benefits after the enfeoffment, hahaha, do you really think that a martial artist like me would care about that? Also, I was able to push this matter forward. Today, I can press you all into the dust with one hand! "
"Who do you think you are? Descendant of nobility? You think you're the smartest and the most outstanding? How naive! "
"For the sake of putting on a show, all of you dare to come to the Imperial Star openly. Do you think that your subordinates are all very powerful? That they can definitely execute the beheading operation in the shortest time possible? That they want to do it during the coronation ceremony? "
"Do you think that I … am deaf or blind?"
"Do you think that my Quasi-Emperor realm is so easy to find?"
"Do you think that the offerings in the palace are all decorations?"
"It's not wrong to be ignorant. But to be so ignorant to the extent that you all seek your own death, I can only say that I admire you."
Prince Huai glared at Prince Qi. If looks could kill, Prince Qi would have died a thousand times over.
He gritted his teeth and said, "If I want to blame someone, I can only blame myself for not being cunning enough. Shirō Makino and Lin Zijin, those two lowly commoners, actually played along with you and deceived me …"
"Played along with me? Shirō Makino, that bastard, clearly wanted me to clean up his mess! He didn't want to offend the royal family and wanted to push the blame onto me! What do you know? The family behind him, not to mention a mere prince like you, even I don't want to provoke them! "
After Prince Qi cursed, he sighed heavily and swept his gaze across the group of people.
"To be honest, I didn't want this to happen."
"The enfeoffment was a game between me and my royal brother, but you all … or your fathers, all took it seriously."
"This is my fault."
"So I thought that if you all were obedient and sensible, I would definitely grant you a lifetime of riches and honor. After the vassal states are removed, I will naturally compensate you. At least for all of you here, including those who have died, it wouldn't be a problem for you all to take the title of Iron Hat King. "
"Unfortunately, you are too greedy."
"You have already enjoyed all the riches and honor in this world, why do you still want more?"
"Do you want to break up this empire and turn it into a vassal state before you are satisfied?"
At this time, an old duke spoke in a hoarse voice, "Becoming a vassal state, the next step is to conquer and annex each other. Who doesn't want to be a high and mighty emperor? Li Yu, don't you want that? "
This old prince's seniority was very high, even higher than King Qi's.
Prince Qi looked at him and shook his head with a smile, "Uncle, to be honest, I don't want that! Perhaps, I did, but I don't anymore. Once this empire becomes a vassal state, do you think the Divine Empire and the Vast Ocean Empire are just decorations? This time, we reacted quickly enough and made sufficient preparations. That's why we were able to suppress the rebellion you created in the shortest amount of time possible. "
"So that the two empires could not even react in time! Do you understand? "
"If the crown prince's ascension is obstructed, we will need a lot of time to suppress the rebellion. As for the other two empires, do you really think they are vegetarian elephants? They are all man-eating tigers! Jackals! Hyenas that specialize in stealing people's prey! "
"With your level of intelligence, you people who have been in the palace for too long, indulging in pleasure all day long, still want to play with things like annexing each other … Are you worthy?"
The old duke laughed bitterly, "The winner becomes the king, the loser becomes the bandit. Li Yu, there is nothing more to say, just give us a quick death, but our wives and children are not to blame …"
"When the nest is overturned, how can the eggs be unbroken?" Prince Qi glanced at the old duke, "You chose to fight among yourselves first!"
The old duke stared at Prince Qi, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets. After a long time, he sighed and nodded, "Yes, we chose, I admit it."
"The crown prince will ascend the throne tomorrow, it is not suitable for bloodshed …" Prince Qi said.
Prince Huai and the others could not help but raise their heads, looking at him hopefully.
"So, everything ends tonight," Prince Qi said.
The group of people instantly revealed looks of despair.
"As for your respective families, behead them immediately, and put them in the resource planets." Prince Qi looked at the group of people calmly, "As for you, a cup of poisoned wine, go in peace."
With that, he turned and left, unwilling to say anything more.
"Li Yu! You will die a horrible death! " Prince Huai finally broke down completely, roaring crazily at Prince Qi's back, "Our today will be your tomorrow!"
Prince Qi paused for a moment, but did not stop, nor did he look back, saying lightly, "You won't see it."
The night before the coronation, blood flowed like a river.
But Prince Qi dealt with it too quickly, too well prepared, and too ruthless.
All the princes and dukes' fiefs were suppressed before they could react.
So this night, other than some movements at the beginning and the shocking announcement late at night, there were no other disturbances.
After this night, the name of the Iron and Blood Regent would once again spread throughout the world.
Three o 'clock in the morning.
Li Ying and Prince Qi sat opposite each other on the wooden chairs in the emperor's study.
Crown Prince Li Ying was in high spirits, dressed in casual clothes. He looked at Prince Qi and said, "Uncle, thank you!"
"No need to thank me. I was the one who caused the trouble, so I have to settle it. If you really want to thank me, grow up a little faster, and let me be the Regent as soon as possible. I am tired, and tired, and I want to pursue my path as an emperor. "
Li Ying looked at Prince Qi and suddenly smiled, "Actually, I also hope that Uncle can pursue your own things as soon as possible, so that I can feel much more relaxed."
Prince Qi smiled, "Boy, you are quite honest. I have underestimated you in the past. Based on this alone, you are much better than your third brother. "
Li Ying's face showed a trace of embarrassment, and he whispered, "I relied on Uncle to sit in that position …"
Prince Qi sighed softly, "That position is not easy to sit in. Now that the storm seems to have subsided, but in fact, this time, how many people from the Bai family participated? How many people from the Lin family participated? You know all this. But these people cannot be touched now! "
"The Bai family has an empress overseeing it, and the Lin family … is also the cornerstone of the empire. So, Ying 'er, don't think that your ascension to the throne is already set in stone, but there is still a long way to go!"
Li Ying nodded, "I understand."
"Shirō Makino is a pure little fox. Whether it is me or your father, we are not afraid of the princes and princes, but we are afraid of him!" Prince Qi sighed lightly, and the white hair on his temples was especially conspicuous.
The former Young God of War of the Empire had also been tortured by the endless government affairs to the point of exhaustion.
Li Ying looked at Prince Qi, "Uncle, I still don't understand, why are you so afraid of Xiao Bai? No matter how talented he is, no matter how high his cultivation, he is still a youth like me. And I know him, he really isn't that kind of ambitious person … "
Li Ying stood up and poured a cup of tea for Prince Qi, "Now, there are only a few hours left before I sit on the throne. Uncle, can't you tell me the truth?"
Prince Qi smiled, and picked up the cup of tea, took a sip, and smiled, "Your father poured tea for me, and now, as the soon-to-be emperor, you pour tea for me as well. I am afraid that in the entire empire, I am the only one who has this kind of honor."
Li Ying smiled, "If Uncle likes it, I will always pour tea for you."
Prince Qi did not deny it, and then said softly, "There are some things that I need to tell you, the reason why we are afraid of Shirō Makino, is because …"
After hearing this, Li Ying did not show any fear, and instead smiled, "That's it?"
Prince Qi looked at him, "There are many things that you do not understand, you will understand when you come into contact with them in the future."
Li Ying thought for a moment, and said, "Perhaps Uncle is right, but I believe him. You are the same as my father, you both say that people cannot be trusted, especially as an emperor, you cannot trust others easily. I understand the reason, and I will not trust others easily, but I believe that Xiao Bai will not do that. Even if he has the ability, he will not do that. "
"I hope so." Prince Qi looked at him, "But I still have to say, Uncle is old, and wants to pursue his own path, so I cannot always protect you by your side. As for Bai Muye, you can trust him and put him in an important position. However, you must remember to keep him away from politics! "
"This, I do not need to say anything, even if I beg him, he will not care about these things." Li Ying said.
"Good, remember Uncle's words today." Prince Qi said, and slowly stood up, "The ceremony is about to begin, forget everything tonight, and be a good emperor!"
His words seemed contradictory, but Li Ying understood, and bowed deeply to Prince Qi.
"Oh, right, later, give him a list of the people who participated in this matter from the Lin and Bai families."
Prince Qi walked to the door, and said.
"This is … …"
"If he does not care, it means that the family is more important to him, and not right and wrong." King Qi indifferently replied, "If he doesn't care, it means that the clan is more important to him than right and wrong."
"What if he does care, no matter what?" Li Ying asked.
"Care, no need for me to say more, no matter what, just treat it as doing him a favor."
Prince Qi finished, and left.
New Year's Day, 5: 30 in the morning.
Auspicious time!
Crown Prince Li Ying's coronation ceremony officially began!
Inside the majestic palace, countless of holographic cameras were already turned on.
The Zulong Empire, the Holy Empire, and the Vast Sea Empire were being broadcasted live!
No matter what happened last night, today's ceremony was full of peace.
Crown Prince Li Ying, dressed in splendid clothes, wearing a crown, appeared in front of the court officials.
Prince Regent Li Yu, personally presided over this coronation ceremony!
The Empire's Prime Minister Sun Yan, with hundreds of officials, sat in the most front left camp.
The military camp was on the right, a group of generals with shining stars on their shoulders sat there.
These people were the true foundation of the entire Zulong Empire!
The three armies of the Emperor's Imperial Guards had not returned, but at this moment, they were definitely paying attention to this coronation ceremony.
A large number of envoys from the other two empires were behind the court officials.
This group of people had warm smiles on their faces, but their emotions were extremely complicated.
What a great opportunity!
A chance to tear apart the entire Zulong Empire, just like that, they had perfectly missed it.
Some of them even knew in advance that the group of princes and dukes would rise up during the coronation ceremony, and had even secretly added fuel to the fire … …
But no one expected that the stubborn, self-opinionated, and crazy Prince Qi would turn into an old fox and a ferocious tiger, completely suppressing this matter on the night before the coronation.
Many people also noticed that there was an inconspicuous person involved in this matter — — Shirō Makino!
It was this young man who completely toppled King Chu, and Prince Huai was also caught because of him.
Some things were a secret before it happened, but after it happened … … they were no longer a secret.
Prince Huai sent someone to assassinate Shirō Makino because of the incident with Count Haicheng's son, but Shirō Makino retaliated strongly, and then cooperated with Prince Qi to put on a big show, completely deceiving Prince Huai and the other princes.
Otherwise, even if Prince Qi could still suppress them, it was really hard to say whether it would be so smooth.
That Bai fellow was poisonous!
Many people thought to themselves, and could not help but look at the guest seats at the side.
In the middle of the guest seats, in a not too conspicuous place, the young man who unknowingly influenced the direction of the empire was looking forward with a serious face, and on that extremely handsome face was a trace of a happy smile.
If not for those who knew, who would dare to believe that such a young man could actually do so many things unknowingly?
I must pay more attention to this person in the future!
Shirō Makino, Lin Zijin, Ji Chae Yi, Si Yin, and Shan Gu originally did not have prominent seats in the guest seats.
In such an ancient empire, there were many people who were qualified to attend the ceremony, and under normal circumstances, these young people should not be sitting here, regardless of their age or qualifications.
So even though they were sitting in the middle, they were still very conspicuous.
Because almost all of the people around them were younger than fifty years old.
Most importantly, Shirō Makino was too handsome.
No matter where he sat, the place where he sat was the center of attention.
Even Li Ying, who was sitting on the dragon throne, could see Xiao Bai through the open doors of the main hall, looking towards the square.
Prince Qi was still giving his speech, and the atmosphere was solemn and solemn.
But Li Ying could not help but smile the moment his eyes met with Shirō Makino's.
Boss: I believe that you will always be my best brother!
