Ji Xuanyuan's words were like a sentence, directly throwing Ji Yanxiu into the abyss.
He didn't understand why Ji Xuanyuan and the rest would do this. They were about to ascend the throne, but in the end, they had to depose the Crown Prince they had chosen. What was the difference between this and slapping their own faces?
Ji Yanxiu suddenly raised his head and looked at Su Xin with a ferocious expression, but at the same time, there was a deep sense of regret.
If he still couldn't guess that Su Xin was involved in this, then he would be a real idiot.
However, Ji Yanxiu couldn't understand why those in power in the Zhou Kingdom would stand on Su Xin's side. He was Ji Haodian's son, the Crown Prince of the Zhou Kingdom. Could it be that his weight was lower than an outsider like Su Xin?
Ji Yanxiu understood that Tie Zhan would help Su Xin. After all, he was one of them.
Ji Yanxiu didn't understand why Lin Zongyue would help Su Xin, but it was also possible.
However, as a member of the Ji Royal Family, why would Ji Xuanyuan stand on the side of an outsider?
Ji Yanxiu looked at Su Xin, and the ferocious expression on his face turned into fear and regret.
If he hadn't had so many thoughts in the beginning, would he be sitting on the throne now?
But now, he had been stripped of his qualifications as Crown Prince, and couldn't even be an idle Master!
Even if Su Xin couldn't make a move against him due to his identity, the new Prince, no matter which one it was, would secretly take care of him, the former Crown Prince!
Suddenly, Ji Yanxiu shouted at Su Xin, "Lord Su! What happened last time was my fault. As long as you agree to help me ascend the throne, I will agree to your conditions right now! I will agree to it immediately! I will give you whatever you want! "
Everyone present frowned. Was this Ji Yanxiu crazy?
Su Xin secretly shook his head, this Ji Yanxiu had really lost his sense of propriety, did he really think that the throne was a child's play?
Today, he had publicly pulled him down from the throne. Even if he wanted to put him back on the throne, Ji Xuanyuan and the others would not agree to it.
Indeed, Ji Xuanyuan frowned and said, "Men, bring the King of Shu away."
Just now, Ji Yanxiu was still the Crown Prince, but with the declaration of the experts of the Zhou Kingdom, he became the King of Shu again.
The two eunuchs who dragged Lou Quanzhong out earlier walked to Ji Yanxiu's side expressionlessly and made an inviting gesture. One of them said in a sharp voice: "Your Highness, King of Shu, please go ahead. Don't make us resort to violence. It won't be good if we lose face for the royal family."
Ji Yanxiu did not move, he only said hatefully: "I will leave on my own later. I want to see who will get the throne!"
This time, Ji Xuanyuan did not force him out. Not long after, a young eunuch brought a young man in an official robe into the meeting hall. Everyone present immediately widened their eyes.
King of Tai Ji Yancheng! It was him!
Everyone knew about the hatred between Ji Yancheng and Su Xin. Now that Su Xin had finally removed Ji Yanxiu from the throne, he suddenly helped Ji Yancheng to the throne. What kind of logic was this?
Ji Yanxiu looked at all of this in a daze. This time, he did not understand why he lost. He did not understand why Su Xin had so much power to influence the three major powers of the Zhou Kingdom, and why he helped an old enemy to the throne.
Thinking of this, Ji Yanxiu suddenly laughed wildly. It was only at this moment that Ji Yanxiu saw himself clearly.
He had always thought that his rise from the remote Sichuan Path to the capital to fight for the throne with a group of princes was all because of his great talent and bold vision.
But only now did Ji Yanxiu know that he was still the King of Shu, Ji Yanxiu, who had been living in fear and struggling to survive in the Sichuan Path.
Everything he had now was undoubtedly due to his own hard work, but even more was due to the changes brought about by Su Xin. Therefore, his foundation was like a flower in a mirror, the moon in the water. Now, with a simple move from Su Xin, it was directly broken.
Ji Xuanyuan waved his hand, and two eunuchs brought Ji Yanxiu, who had already given up resisting, away.
As for the other people from the Shu Palace, their faces were also ashen. Ji Yanxiu was finished, and they were also finished. From now on, there was no place for them in the Zhou Kingdom.
However, the Itinerant Martial Artists from the Sichuan Path were slightly better off. They were originally Itinerant Martial Artists, and at worst, they could go back to being Itinerant Martial Artists in the future. But Fang Jiuyuan and Liu Wuqian were dumbfounded.
They had originally thought that they had found a backer, but who would have thought that this backer would collapse not long after. What should they do now?
But now, no one could think about what they were thinking. Everyone present had their eyes on the King of Tai, Ji Yancheng.
The King of Tai, who had been high-spirited and impetuous in the past, had become a lot calmer after the great change. But rather than saying that he was calm, it was more accurate to say that he was cautious.
Just as Su Xin had said to Ji Xuanyuan, some things would only be more treasured after losing them.
To the Ji Yancheng of the past, the throne was like something in his pocket. Therefore, Ji Yancheng had always put on a look of determination, arrogance, and insufferably arrogant.
But now, he had experienced the despair of being knocked down to the mundane world, and the throne had mysteriously fallen into his hands. This made Ji Yancheng feel both excited and uneasy.
With these complicated feelings, Ji Yancheng changed into the dragon robe with the help of the ceremonial officer. He completed the process of ascending the throne like a puppet.
This time, Ji Xuanyuan and the others were not prepared to cause any more trouble. Therefore, they gave up on the so-called Crown Prince supervising the country and let Ji Yancheng sit on the throne.
However, compared to Ji Yanxiu, Ji Yancheng was indeed a little more miserable. This was because other than his personal eunuch, Feng Ying, there was no one else by his side.
Even if he became the Emperor, he would be a puppet Emperor in name only.
Therefore, Tang Xian was still the Chief Minister of the Inner Palace. He was the only power that Ji Yancheng could borrow.
Actually, Tang Xian was still very grateful to Su Xin for this matter. After all, it was Su Xin who revealed some information, which made Tang Xian change sides at the last minute.
If Ji Yanxiu became the Emperor, with his temperament and Wen Yu's strength, Tang Xian might not be able to stabilize his position as the Chief Minister of the Inner Palace. He might be kicked out at any time.
However, now that Ji Yancheng was the Emperor, he did not have to worry.
Ji Yancheng's only trusted aide, Feng Ying, was only in the Divine Transformation Realm. He was much weaker than Tang Xian.
Moreover, Feng Ying was taught by him. Tang Xian could even be considered half a master of Feng Ying, so the position of the Chief Minister of the Inner Palace was still held by Tang Xian. Although Tang Xian and Ji Yancheng had conflicts before, Ji Yancheng had gone through ups and downs and had long let go of those things. Therefore, Tang Xian was not worried that he would be punished in the future.
After the ascension ceremony, Su Xin was invited to his palace by Ji Yancheng because he knew that it was time to fulfill his promise.
Ji Yancheng did not know why Su Xin chose him to be the Emperor, but he knew that if he did not fulfill his promise to Su Xin today, he would probably be in a lot of trouble in the future. Ji Yanxiu was an example.
Sitting on the Dragon Throne, Ji Yancheng looked down at Su Xin. He did not know why, but he had a feeling that Su Xin was looking down on him even though he was already the Emperor of the Zhou Kingdom. Of course, there was another name for this feeling: fear.
Ji Yancheng was now really afraid of Su Xin. He felt terrified from the bottom of his heart about Su Xin's methods.
Su Xin had tricked him many times before, and had even acted as a blade in Ji Haodian's hands to pull him down from the throne. This caused Ji Yancheng to only have one feeling towards Su Xin, and that was hatred.
However, this hatred disappeared when Su Xin put him back on the throne.
However, Ji Yancheng did not feel grateful to Su Xin. He only felt fear.
Ji Yanxiu had already become the Crown Prince, but in the end, he was still forcibly pulled down from the throne by Su Xin. Instead, he, the deposed Prince, was put back on the throne. Su Xin's methods were no longer as simple as turning his hand over and calling the rain over.
After going through a big change, Ji Yancheng's personality changed from the original violent and reckless to the current cautious and even a little suspicious.
It was because he could not see through Su Xin that he was afraid of Su Xin.
Ji Yancheng cleared his throat and chased everyone out of the palace, leaving only his trusted aide, Feng Ying. At this time, he said to Su Xin in a low voice, "My beloved subject, this time … this prince … it was all thanks to your help that I was able to ascend to the throne. Tell me, this time, I will agree to whatever you want."
Su Xin said with a smile that was not a smile, "Your Majesty, it's better not to be so full of yourself. If I really ask for an exorbitant price, it would be useless even if Your Majesty agreed."
Ji Yancheng laughed dryly. Obviously, what Su Xin said was the truth.
He was now just a puppet Emperor. His prestige and power were limited. He wanted to give Su Xin the position of chief constable or general of the Six Fan School. Unfortunately, it was simply impossible. Even Ji Haodian could not do it in the past.
These positions were already the rulers of the Zhou Kingdom. Only those who had the strength and qualifications could hold them. In the past, Ji Haodian could at most directly accept the position of the four great constables or the chief of the three field armies. As for the other higher positions, everyone needed to discuss it together.
Su Xin knew all this, so he naturally would not kick him when he was down.
Su Xin said directly in a deep voice, "In fact, I don't want much. The first is a military organization that belongs to me. It is called 'Shadow Guard'. I will also be the chief of the Shadow Guard. Its organizational structure is at the same level as the three field armies. I will be in charge of the personnel, but the required salary will be paid by the imperial court."
This military organization that belonged to Su Xin was conceived a long time ago. However, due to Su Xin's current strength, even if the Shadow Guard was a separate military organization, its level could not be compared with the military and the Six Fan School. Therefore, it had to be downgraded to the same level as the three field armies that guarded Shengjing City.
