Seven days had passed since the death of the old emperor. Under the arrangement of the Minister of Rites, a simple enthronement ceremony was held.
In fact, this is against the rules.
But considering the current chaotic situation, it is still necessary to announce to the ministers as soon as possible who the new emperor is.
Wait until everything is settled before holding a formal enthronement ceremony.
In this simple enthronement ceremony, the third prince was so proud that he put on the imperial robe and turned around and stepped onto the throne.
All of a sudden, all the ministers gathered together.
They knelt in the main hall and saluted him one by one.
Although many important ministers were reluctant, they still followed the trend and bowed together.
But at this time, after the third prince assumed the throne, he asked the chief eunuch to announce the decree.
"..."
"Canonize the eldest emperor brother as the virtuous king, and the second emperor brother as the loyal king."
The two royal brothers were given the title of two kings, one-word king, both of which seemed quite nice.
But everyone knew that this was just the beginning. In the future, the two brothers would have to let him plot to death.
Don’t forget those experiences from the previous period.
Then the third prince began to promote a large number of people to positions and titles.
Almost everyone has a share, which makes everyone feel a little more at ease.
Some people thought they could switch families in time and join the Third Prince.
Anyway, taking refuge in someone is not taking refuge in someone, and treating someone as a dog is not treating someone as a dog?
In the feudal era, the loyalty rate was very low, less than one percent.
Naturally, these people also knew that after the third prince's position was confirmed, a new purge would begin.
How can one switch families so cheaply? It's impossible.
Now is the time to test everyone's relationship skills.
But they don't know that the world is changing.
So-called relationships quickly become useless.
While the ministers were congratulating the new emperor, suddenly a man in black walked in at the door of the hall.
The man in black was seen walking silently, and it was the guard who saw him first.
At this time, the Minister of Rites, who was presiding over the ceremony, directly saw the man in black because he was facing the entrance of the hall.
"Who dares to break into Qianqing Palace privately!"
"Did you know that if you make trouble during the enthronement ceremony, you will kill the nine clansmen?"
The enthronement ceremony has a fixed process.
It's fixed when and who will show up.
It is absolutely impossible for an inexplicable person to appear in this ceremony.
Then when the man came closer, everyone was horrified to find that the man in black could not see his face at all!
He was not wearing any mask, but it was as if there was always a black cloth covering his face.
In fact, there was nothing on his face, just a black mess.
The nose and eyebrows can't be seen clearly.
Everyone looked at it and were suddenly surprised.
"Who is this person and why is he so dark?"
"Could it be that the Kunlun slaves paid tribute from somewhere?"
"Kunlun slave? Where is the Han general? Take him down quickly!"
Then two big Han generals, holding ceremonial sledgehammers, stepped forward directly.
However, before they could reach each other, everyone saw the man in black take two steps forward, and with lightning speed, he reached out and grabbed the two of them by the throat.
The next moment, the two guards were rolling on the ground holding their broken throats.
The pain was so painful that I couldn't speak. Soon my face turned blue and I suffocated to death in pain.
Then everyone was shocked.
"There's an assassin!"
"Come and protect the Emperor!"
"There are assassins, where are the guards?"
Soon the guards responsible for guarding the main hall gathered from the palace.
For a moment, under the command of several commanders, they jointly raised their bows and arrows, and immediately shot at the man in black.
Normally it is impossible for them to have arrows, because now it is a special tense situation, so they will string the bow and keep the arrow in their body.
However, facing the rain of arrows, the man in black immediately swayed from side to side and dodged the arrows one after another.
Everyone's eyes were dumbfounded.
However, then a hail of arrows fell.
This time, an arrow finally hit the man in black.
Before everyone could scream with joy, someone discovered that the arrow had passed directly through the man in black!
It's like falling on a shadow.
This is simply incredible.
"How is this possible? Why does it show through?"
Everyone was very panicked.
Only the eldest prince who had just been named "King of Virtue" was very happy.
This ghost's trick was really powerful, and it was not in vain that he secretly killed a hundred people to sacrifice him.
Of course, the place of killing was still in an underground cave, and the people killed were still homeless people, beggars, the old, weak, sick and disabled in orphanages...
He suppressed the joy in his heart.
【Okay, that's good, hurry up and kill!】
[The target is the New Emperor!]
As if hearing the eldest prince's voice, the man in black quickened his pace.
He started walking towards the third prince on the throne.
At this time, the third prince was already frightened and a little confused.
He quickly used the charcoal pen under his big robe to draw on a new painting.
What the picture shows is that the man in black will be beaten to death by several powerful men.
Wen Rensheng naturally knew that this man in black came from the eldest prince's resentment.
And the eldest prince, who used to be a high-ranking prince and the first heir to the throne and everyone wanted to fawn over him, has now fallen to the point where he can only be a prince in name only.
Soon the eldest prince will also taste the feeling of being bullied.
A seventh-grade county magistrate in a place may use the emperor's will to oppress him.
This is entirely possible.
Who has the upper hand between the vassal king and the local government depends on the emperor's will.
If the emperor wants a good reputation and a reputation for harmony among the royal family, he will suppress local bureaucrats.
On the contrary, if the emperor dislikes a certain vassal king, the local officials will make various deductions, which can starve people in the vassal king's family to death.
If the feudal king dares not to give in, he will be accused of treason.
By that time, there will be no way to survive.
Therefore, Zhu Di rebelled and fully showed his persecuted side to the clan, which is why there are so many neutrals.
But now, facing the threat of the man in black, the third prince has quickly stepped down from the throne.
He wanted to leave the hall quickly, but he was too fat and couldn't move around easily.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Several guards helped him hide behind.
Fortunately, the man in black walked over very slowly.
It's just that every move will kill one person.
The morale of the guards is also considered high.
He can still withstand it.
Otherwise, in the middle and late stages of the dynasty, even the palace guards would not behave actively when facing assassins, and they would hide whenever they could.
This is what happened in the Qing Dynasty.
And now there are dozens of eunuchs, one by one, stepping forward to block the man in black.
However, the man in black just takes one step and kills one person.
At first, he speeded up a little and headed towards the emperor.
But as everyone panicked and the emperor fled, his speed slowed down again.
He killed one person with every step he took, and kept chasing the emperor slowly like this.
Everyone was suddenly shocked, frightened and angry.
"This is, this is a monster!"
Some ministers couldn't help but said.
The ministers fled one after another.
There was a military commander wearing inner armor.
Because during the ceremony, one cannot hold a sword.
He chose to step forward and fight the man in black with his bare hands.
However, he fought with bare hands and within a single move, the opponent leaned directly into his arms, grabbed him, and disemboweled him.
A long-established military commander in his prime fell for no apparent reason.
And at this time.
The third prince had already fled to the back of the palace and was about to escape through the back door.
While the eldest prince was hiding in the corner, he watched the man in black killing everyone.
He couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
[Very good, very good, kill me quickly!]
【What I can’t get, no one else can get it!】
But at this moment, no one finally dared to resist.
After all, the opponent cannot be killed at all.
How high could the morale of soldiers in the feudal era be?
When the bravest group died first, the seemingly majestic and sacred ceremony became vulnerable.
The man in black continued to kill the third prince.
The third prince continued to run.
For the first time in his life, he hated himself. Why was he so fat?
Obviously the man in black walked very slowly.
That's roughly three steps per second and one meter per step.
This can be said to be very, very slow.
After all, normal people can run 100 meters within 20 seconds without any problems.
That's a speed of 5 meters per second.
But the problem with the third prince is that he can't even walk 3 meters per second.
Walking basically relies on support and movement.
Fortunately, several eunuchs were loyal and supported him, pushed him, and dragged him, and finally left the palace hall.
Then the third prince opened a secret passage on the wall of a side hall and tried to escape.
However, this man in black also got into the secret passage.
Those walls couldn't stop him.
At this time, the third prince drew a new picture while walking.
The content of the new painting is that a bolt of thunder came from the sky and directly killed the man in black.
However, the result was that thunder did fall from the sky.
However, it didn't hit anything, it just cracked their main hall directly.
Then the man in black finally came to the third prince.
Just when the man in black was about to reach out his hand, the third prince suddenly said:
"Wait, don't kill me, I'll give you everything you need."
At this time, when the man in black heard this, he smiled slightly and then said:
"Okay, as long as you bring me 10,000 people as sacrifices, I will let you live."
Ten thousand people?
The third prince was shocked, this is too cheap!
He thought it would be really difficult to kill a million people.
Even if the emperor wanted to kill millions of people in peacetime, it would be difficult for him to do so.
It requires careful planning, and usually involves doing things on the border.
And for a mere 10,000 people, all it takes is one bandit suppressor.
So he decisively agreed: "Okay, I can sacrifice 10,000 people to you."
Upon hearing this, the man in black disappeared before his eyes.
Wen Rensheng was speechless when he saw this.
Good guy, this so-called weirdness is also deceiving people.
At this time, the eldest prince was still waiting happily for the death of the new emperor, and he hurriedly ascended the throne in order.
After all, in his heart, he is the emperor.
After the current emperor dies, it will naturally belong to him.
However, in the afternoon, the emperor summoned the ministers again, and the prince went to court.
The eldest prince was immediately furious. He didn't succeed?
How can this be?
According to the scene I saw before, the man in black killed the emperor, just like a man killing a chicken!
Then after going to court, he returned home.
Started to curse.
"Asshole, I was cheated!"
Not long after, the man in black appeared in his shadow.
The eldest prince immediately glared:
"Why, why didn't you complete my mission!"
"Sorry, the price offered by the other party is higher than yours."
"Damn it, you monster can't do this. A person must have credibility."
"Haha, since you know I'm a monster, what credibility do you have?" The man in black mocked, "What's more, you haven't paid me yet?"
"Nonsense, I have obviously killed hundreds of people to sacrifice to you!" the eldest prince said angrily.
"Hahaha, I never said that a hundred people would be enough." The man in black laughed.
"I'm weird, and it's normal for me to go back on my word, right?"
The eldest prince looked at the faceless face of the man in black, his smile was like his skin was crawling, and he suddenly became afraid.
He didn't expect that after working so hard, he still didn't succeed.
"You, what do you want?"
"It's nothing. If you want to drive me next time, prepare more sacrifices." After the man in black finished speaking, he left.
Only then did the eldest prince breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the other party did not kill him.
Afterwards, the eldest prince quickly ordered people to find the charlatans, alchemists, Taoist monks...
And at this time.
The third prince was also worried.
He originally thought that through plug-ins, he could change the world to become more and more magical.
He can also become more and more powerful from it.
The result was that he shot himself in the foot.
The world is beginning to have demons, but the result is weird.
It's the kind of demonic world that most people hate the most.
In other worlds with demons, smart people and geniuses can gain extraordinary power, live longer, and allow individuals to break the upper limit of the world without demons.
In this weird world, smart people and geniuses die quickly.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Because they can easily find weird places.
Then the third prince thought of a way to massacre several cottages and several nearby villages in the name of suppressing bandits, and gathered together 10,000 people for sacrifice.
Finally satisfied the man in black and stopped chasing him.
However, within the next few months, demons began to stir up chaos.
The third prince was in a state of embarrassment as he was tortured.
Ministers wrote letters one after another.
Something strange happened here today, and something strange happened there tomorrow.
He originally wanted to quickly clear out the military forces under the eldest prince and the second prince.
As a result, now he has no time to clean up at all.
He doesn't have the energy or thought at all.
Moreover, in the seemingly majestic palace hall, strange spirits of innocent people appear everywhere.
It made him unable to sleep well day and night.
He had no choice but to leave the palace temporarily and return to his original residence so that he could sleep well.
Only now did he finally understand that for ordinary people, not being weird was a good thing.
Being weird is a bad thing.
He never imagined that after working so hard for so long, he would end up shooting himself in the foot.
If he had not ascended to the throne through painting, he could have become a wealthy prince who lived a long life.
No matter which prince comes to power, he will not target his disabled brother.
Let alone cause so many messy things.
Now he has no peace of mind when sleeping every day, and feels the noise all the time.
And on this day, another group of monsters came to find him in the middle of the night.
"What are you doing here? I am the emperor, don't come over!" The third prince huddled in bed.
"We are the people who drowned in floods a few years ago." The leading monster said, floating outside his quilt.
The third prince did not call for help in vain, because he knew that outsiders would not be able to hear him.
This is the skill of monsters, isolating sound is a basic operation.
