The future plan had been thought out in an instant. The details still needed to be considered, but the general direction was as such!
However, Chu Rui also had some deviations. Originally, he wanted to exterminate the Azure Sea Emperor's bloodline and let a branch of the Cang Family take over the throne as a puppet! That way, Goudan 'er would first gain merit as a general and accumulate his own power and reputation before slowly ascending to the throne. However, he had changed his mind. What made him change his mind wasn't anything else, but Princess Cang Die's' no '!
Chu Rui was a person who clearly distinguished between kindness and hatred. Perhaps Princess Cang Die's' no 'had no effect on him at all, but he still owed her a debt of gratitude! However, no matter what, the Cang Family could forget about keeping their position as sovereign. However, after stabilizing their rule, the Cang Family's bloodline could be preserved as repayment for Princess Cang Die's cry.
A glint flashed through the Azure Sea Emperor's eyes, but there wasn't the slightest bit of shame or regret. Chu Rui's words were indeed true, but since he had already chosen this path, he had to walk it to the end. As an emperor, if he didn't even have this bit of courage, he would probably be bullied to death even if he wasn't chased off the throne!
Chu Rui clutched his chest. He didn't wipe away the blood at the corner of his mouth, leaving it there to fiercely agitate everyone's eyes. Their savior had just saved their lives right under their noses, but he was surrounded and killed by ungrateful people. Scholars had integrity. Immediately, many people jumped out, but they were all dealt with by the Azure Sea Emperor. His lackeys, one civil, one military, one general, and one prime minister, instantly dealt with them for him. Those who jumped out were all killed. These were troubled times, and severe punishments were used in troubled times. The country was unstable, so who would have the time to debate and convict someone? If someone who controlled power and power was in a bad mood, he would just kill them. There was no reason.
"Are you sure you want to do this?"
The deaths of the ministers who had jumped out to accuse the Azure Sea Great Emperor only to be killed in an instant did not affect Chu Rui in the slightest. However, those who had put on an act still revealed a trace of sadness in order to win a good impression. These were all upright people. To be able to maintain such integrity in the court, which was a huge vat of corruption, was indeed worthy of respect. Unfortunately, their brains weren't good and they didn't know how to size up the situation. Chu Rui neither praised nor belittled people who were willing to sacrifice their lives to fulfill their moral integrity.
As a scholar, they were worthy of admiration, but as a man, they were worthy of disdain. One died just like that. The pillar of the family had collapsed. Their names would go down in history, but their families would suffer. Those who were slightly better off just lost the big umbrella that protected their families. Their good days were gone, and they lived a slightly poorer life. Those who were close to being dealt with by the enraged emperor and had their entire family wiped out would still be fine, but they were all gone in an instant. The main thing was that they would be banished to the army or reduced to slaves. That would be disgusting and would be better off dead. Or, they might be used by their political opponents to vent their anger. By then, their families would suffer unspeakably and live in hell.
No matter what, he still had a rather good impression of these people. It was better to let their families live a little better in the future. However, now wasn't the time to think about these things. It was better to eliminate this tyrant first.
"Although I don't know what your origins are, judging from your performance just now with that monstrous devilish flame, you definitely aren't human. Speak, are you a member of the demon race? What extravagance! I didn't expect that the demon race would actually be willing to sacrifice so many elite soldiers in order to banish you to my Navy Tide Nation. Do you not take me and everyone present to be fools? If you're a little smarter, surrender without resistance and spill everything. Perhaps I can still spare your life. If you don't know how to appreciate favors, then don't blame me for being ruthless. For the sake of the common people of the world, even if I have to give up my life, I must still eliminate a demon like you! "
The Navy Tide Great Emperor had his hands behind his back, his body ramrod straight. His expression was solemn and filled with righteousness. His words were spoken with a strong sense of righteousness that inspired reverence, sonorous and resolute. However, the meaning behind his words made everyone laugh in ridicule. Other than those who were only loyal to him and those who flattered him, everyone else showed a look of disdain. Even the great general and prime minister who stood by his side, his loyal followers, looked rather embarrassed.
Even the most thick-skinned person would blush at these words. Even an idiot could tell that they were being framed. The demon race already had the complete advantage. Those thirty thousand plus bat demons just now had been just a hair's breadth away from breaking through the barrier protecting the city and then sweeping through the entire Navy Tide City. At that time, they might still be able to live a good life here. Perhaps Navy Tide City wouldn't be completely annihilated because of this, but at least half of them would die. With this kind of advantage? Would the demon race sacrifice thirty thousand elite soldiers just to let one of them in? Did they have the right to make the demon race sacrifice themselves like this?
If you want to condemn someone, you can always find a pretext!
Chu Rui had always been thick-skinned, but there was still a large gap between him and the Navy Tide Great Emperor in today's events. It was truly rare to see someone who could lie with such conviction and awe-inspiring righteousness while lying through their teeth!
What a talent!
This old fellow was quite ruthless. No one believed his bullshit, but it was only an excuse. It didn't matter whether they believed it or not. He only needed this excuse to get rid of him! For this reason, he didn't hesitate to wear such a big hat, saying it was for the sake of the common people, and even dragged everyone present into it. Not just the civil and military officials, but also the powerful rangers and experts from the hidden sects who'd come to help. Although they were his subjects in name, they weren't under his control. Now, he'd said, "Do you take us and everyone else here for fools?" He'd dragged them all into his camp.
People under the eaves had no choice but to lower their heads!
If someone were to jump out and object at this moment, those courageous civil officials and loyal generals would not even question them. They would not care about their previous contributions and would be killed in an instant. This would be the fate of those who jumped out to object! They'd come to help the Navy Tide Empire avoid this calamity. The heart of a fist could illuminate the sun and moon. However, for the throne, the Navy Tide Great Emperor didn't mind raising his butcher's knife. Although those experts were very strong, this was the imperial palace, Navy Tide Great Emperor's territory. Countless soldiers, deathsworn, and venerated experts would surround them and kill them.
Therefore, everyone present had two choices. First, for the sake of justice. A bird that stuck its head out would be killed as soon as it stepped out. You wouldn't be given a second chance to speak. Second, join the Navy Tide Great Emperor's camp and become ingrates together. That way, everyone would participate and be unable to escape. I'm a shameless person, and so are you. This way, they could shut everyone's mouths, at least on the surface!
