Chapter 692: The ministers have no objection! (4000 words)
On the fifth day after Pingyuan Hou was convicted, Bai Yehuang made an announcement.
This announcement was published in various newspapers in Demon City.
The content is as follows:
[Since I became the director of the Conferment Verification Department, I have deposed a duke and a prince.
Following the holy order, I will also abolish the hereditary substitution of two princes and six earls.
Now, I already have evidence for all the princes and lords.
None of you are clean.
However, if the princes and earls can approach me and voluntarily give up their hereditary qualifications, then I will let the past go.
If not, I can only do official business, so please forgive me.】
This announcement is very short and was officially released through the Department of Certification and Certification of the Ministry of Personnel.
In this announcement, Bai Yehuang did not mention anyone.
Although no one person was mentioned, everyone seemed to be mentioned once.
Because the princes and dukes in the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons are more or less unclean, are there any truly clean princes and dukes?
some.
But rarely.
Moreover, these people, princes and dukes, do not care at all about their hereditary qualifications.
In their view, future generations should have to work hard on their own.
My sons and grandsons were already born into wealthy princely families, and their starting point was much higher than that of many others.
As a result, if you can't make achievements on your own and win a title by yourself, then your descendants will be really bad.
Therefore, they are calm and content with what they have come to, and they do not value the hereditary qualifications at all.
But it was different for other princes.
They may want to prevent their descendants from being so tired, or they may feel that losing their hereditary qualifications will be very embarrassing, and they will not be able to hold their heads up in front of others.
So I still want to keep my hereditary qualifications.
After Bai Yehuang made this announcement, the Demon Emperor also issued an imperial edict, which was put in a very tactful way.
Translated it is:
"What the fifth princess means is what I mean. If the fifth princess no longer pursues the case, as long as the princes do not commit the same crimes again, then I will not pursue the case."
This was undoubtedly a shot in the arm for those princes.
Who doesn’t want to come clean?
Who wants to be on tenterhooks?
Even if I am not caught this time, if someone else finds out what I have done next time, wouldn’t I be doomed?
Duke Leguo and Marquis Pingshui are the best examples.
However, this is a hereditary qualification... It is not a small matter...
Without hereditary replacement, your family will most likely gradually decline.
These princes have to make choices.
That is whether Bai Yexiao will investigate himself, because he has done many dirty things.
If he takes the initiative to visit Bai Yexu and gives up his hereditary qualifications, at most his descendants will not be able to inherit the title, but he will have no influence at all.
Besides, the money I have now is enough for three generations to spend in a lifetime.
Three generations later...what does that have to do with me?
If you don't live up to expectations, is it possible that if future generations don't live up to expectations, they should blame their ancestors?
If we say that before issuing this announcement, these princes secretly made up their minds and wanted to unite and have a try with Bai Yexu.
So now, Bai Yehuang has issued an announcement, and the Demon Emperor has endorsed it, saying that he does not want to kill everyone, and has given himself a chance to surrender.
Then why do you still have to fight so hard?
And until the end of the fight, Bai Yexu will finally come up with a list.
Bai Yehuang braved the pressure and came up with the list. At most, he would be impeached and would never be able to serve as an official in the court.
But Bai Yexiao can be her princess.
And what about you? If you were on the list, wouldn’t your hereditary qualifications also be lost?
At this time, Bai Yexiao is like an wronged soul. Even if his soul is about to die, he can still take a few people with him on the road...
And whoever bullies Bai Yehuang the most, the more unhappy Baiyehuang sees, she can take him away!
Therefore, many princes were moved.
But heartbeat does not mean action.
They still planned to wait and see, after all, it was not the last time yet.
What if a prince or count could no longer sit still and went directly to Bai Yezhu to confess his sins and give up his qualifications as a hereditary villain? Then wouldn't he be able to pick up the slack?
Therefore, two days after this announcement was issued, no prince or count came to visit the princess's residence.
It’s as if these princes and counts are just gentlemen - I am innocent and I am upright!
As for the reactions of these princes and counts, Bai Yehuang had already guessed them.
The white leaf tree grows really fast.
Su Li, who had been staying at the Princess Mansion, didn't know Bai Yexu's specific methods, but every time he saw Bai Yexu, he could feel that Bai Yexu's aura was restrained.
If Bai Yechu, who was the lord of Crocodile City at the beginning, was an idealist, he would speak out about everything, because any trivial matter would make him unable to sleep or eat poorly.
So, at this time, Bai Yexu had already realized the cruel reality in the court.
Bai Yehuang doesn't say anything and is always so calm, eating and drinking when he should.
But when Bai Yexiao starts talking and takes action openly, he will kill with one strike!
On the third day, a count's house was ransacked.
The earl who ransacked the house was Uncle Jinghong.
It was also one of several counts lists that Su Li gave Bai Yezhu.
Su Li just told Bai Yexu that Uncle Jinghong was in cahoots with the Headless Country. Once upon a time, the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom sent troops to the Headless Country.
Uncle Jinghong sold information to the Headless Country and obtained a huge amount of spiritual stones.
However, Su Li's letter to Bai Yezhu did not provide any clues about Jinghong Bo's involvement in the Headless Country.
In other words, the evidence was very difficult to find, and even Su Li felt that the other party had already destroyed the evidence.
But unexpectedly, Bai Yexiang found the evidence.
The person who betrayed Uncle Jinghong was Uncle Jinghong’s wife.
Su Li also learned about this from the chat between Xiaohua and Xiaotao.
When talking about this incident, both Xiaohua and Xiaotao looked a little heavy, feeling very sorry.
It is also very strange to say.
Uncle Jinghong was very greedy for money, but he was not lewd at all.
On the contrary, Jinghongbo is very single-minded.
Uncle Jinghong only married one wife and did not take any concubines.
But it was his married wife who betrayed Uncle Jinghong.
Uncle Jinghong's wife secretly visited the Fifth Princess's Mansion and handed all the evidence of her husband's collusion with the Headless Country to Bai Yexu.
As for the reason.
That's because Jinghong Bo's wife was once a princess who lost her country.
The person who led the troops to destroy the other country was Uncle Jinghong. It was because of this military exploit that Uncle Jinghong was named an earl.
When Uncle Jinghong invaded the palace, he was attracted by the beauty of the princess, so he kidnapped her and returned her to the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons, and asked the Demon Emperor to reward him with this woman.
The Demon King immediately agreed.
There is nothing more cost-effective than replacing a subjugated princess with a minister who is more loyal to herself.
And after marrying Uncle Jinghong, this princess of the subjugated country has always adhered to her duty and has not shown any intention of revenge.
This subjugated princess took care of her husband and raised her children, and she was always in peace and stability.
And Uncle Jinghong also felt that this subjugated princess was stable. Even in the process of getting along gradually, Uncle Jinghong liked his wife even more, and their relationship became deeper and deeper.
But who would have known that Uncle Jinghong’s wife had never given up revenge at all.
This time, Bai Yehuang wants to abolish the hereditary succession of Wang Jue. This is the best opportunity for the other party.
Uncle Jinghong is dead.
This is treason, a very serious crime.
No matter how great Uncle Jinghong's previous achievements were, it would be useless.
Uncle Jing Hong was given a sword by the Demon King.
Uncle Jinghong took the sword without hesitation.
I heard that before Jinghongbo committed suicide, he begged the Demon Emperor to let his wife go.
Listen to the other person's request.
The Demon King is very complicated.
And before the Demon King could refuse, Uncle Jinghong slashed his neck with the long sword.
Blood spattered away.
Looking at Uncle Jinghong who died on the ground and transformed into his prototype, the Demon King sighed.
Originally, Uncle Jinghong's traitorous behavior was intended to destroy the nine tribes.
But the Demon King did not do this.
The Demon Emperor thought that Mrs. Jinghong Bo had done some good deeds in exposing her, so he tried to offend her. He just ransacked Bo Jinghong's house and demoted everyone to common people.
Mrs. Jinghongbo accepted the imperial edict and thanked her for the grace.
But the next morning, when Jing Hongbo's eldest son went to find his mother, he saw his mother hanging herself from the beam in the room.
Mrs. Jinghong Bo left a letter - "My mother's great revenge has been taken, but what I owe your father will be repaid in the underworld."
When the letter left by Mrs. Jinghongbo came out, the people in the entire Demon City felt very complicated after hearing about it.
Similarly, Bai Yexiao's mood was very complicated.
The Demon King ordered people to bury Uncle Jinghong and his wife together.
On the day of the funeral, Bai Yexu also attended.
Bai Yexu stood in front of the two tombstones for a long time.
No one knew what Bai Yexu was thinking, and no one bothered Bai Yexu.
After Uncle Jinghong was eliminated, Bai Yehuang eliminated another prince and an earl on the third to last day before submitting the "List of Hereditary Abolition".
In fact, it can be said that this prince is all the result of Su Li.
Because when Su Li read the prince's script, the script system was very powerful and directly told Su Li the evidence of the other party's crime.
As for the other two earls, it was Su Li who told Bai Yexu a general direction, and then Bai Yexu had to rely on himself to find the evidence.
And Bai Yehuang did it.
At this point, all the princes and counts on the list that Su Li gave to Bai Yehuang were removed by Bai Yehuang.
None of these people had a good end; all of them had their homes confiscated and beheaded.
As for the family records, all the women were sent to the priest's office, while all the men were basically exiled.
Among these people, the one with the best luck should be Uncle Jinghong.
Although Uncle Jinghong died, his family papers were saved.
As a result, there was only one prince and three other earls left.
In the end, there were less than three days left.
But Su Li wasn't worried at all, because Bai Yexiao's momentum was really too great now.
At this time, even if Bai Yezhu really appointed a prince and three counts to abolish their hereditary succession, no one would dare to say anything.
To a large extent, Bai Yexu's official career will not end.
Without him, Bai Yezhu killed too many princes in just one month, and he killed them all as it should be, and in a reasonable manner.
These are all Bai Yeqiang’s achievements!
On the penultimate day, a prince and two earls secretly came to the fifth princess's house to confess their guilt.
Regarding the actions of these two people, Su Li could only say that they were very smart and lucky.
Because Bai Yehuang was already planning to investigate them.
Even if there is no result in the final investigation, they will definitely be deposed and replaced.
However, if Bai Yezhu took the initiative to abolish their hereditary system, he would not just let them go.
In fact, Bai Yexiu is very stubborn. Since he has already started investigating, he will take off their pants!
Bai Yexiang nodded to the other party's confession, indicating that he understood.
On the last day, Bai Yehuang went to court with the list of "Abolition of Hereditary Reconciliation".
The Demon King asked Bai Yexu to read it himself.
Bai Yexiao read out all the names of those who were dead and those who were not dead.
Bai Yexiao's voice was not loud, but it spread throughout the entire hall.
Among the names one after another, everyone recalled one thing after another that Bai Yechong had stirred up in the past month.
Looking at Bai Yexu's delicate back.
Everyone's consciousness is slightly blurred.
They had to admit it.
now.
White leaf tree.
Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess.
He has completely entered the court, and his status can no longer be shaken.
Even at this time, Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess is already qualified to seize the throne.
When Bai Yexu finished reading all the names, the entire hall fell into silence for five breaths.
"Hou Xu, Uncle Su Guang, Uncle Fu Sheng, and the director of the Conferment Verification Department, do you have any objections to the abolition of your hereditary system?"
Finally, the Demon King slowly spoke, breaking the silence in the hall.
"I have no objection!"
The three of them knelt down and kowtowed, without any intention of retaliating.
"In that case, my dear friends, what else do you have to report?"
The Demon King glanced at the entire audience. These ministers were all standing in place, as if their steps were nailed to death, not moving.
The Demon King knew that it was over now.
The deposed princes had no objections, and these ministers did not take the opportunity to attack Ye Shu. Everything was settled.
"In that case, let's retreat."
The Demon King stood up, waved his sleeves, and turned to leave.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"
All the ministers bent down to send him off respectfully.
After the Demon Emperor left, everyone's attention was focused on Bai Yexu.
Bai Yehuang didn't say a word, turned and left under the gaze of the officials.
Bai Yezhu's steps became more determined, and behind Bai Yezhu were the eyes of all the ministers in the court, as well as the princes kneeling under the imperial steps.
