Seeing that I was still drinking, the Emperor didn't say anything. Instead, he took a drink with me and ignored the false cries.
This makes Lu Jingtian and others unable to step down. It doesn't matter if they cry or not.
Fortunately, the Human Emperor did not let this embarrassment continue, but slowly raised his hand and said: "Everyone, please get up. You are all people who have dedicated your life for the human race. I have recorded all your contributions."
Everyone then thanked him and stood up.
After everyone got up, the dance slowly came to an end, but the delicacies on everyone's table were not touched much, and only a few people took a few bites.
After a while, the dance ended and the playing of various musical instruments stopped.
The Human Emperor slowly stood up from the dragon chair, and I wanted to stand up too, but the Human Emperor pushed me down and asked me to continue sitting there.
The people around him also stood up from their seats, and the Emperor also waved his hand, beckoning everyone to sit down.
After everyone sat down, the Emperor said slowly: "I will announce the first of the three important things today."
"After much thought, I decided to announce it first."
Having said that, the Emperor took a deep breath, and I was extremely uneasy. I still don't believe that the Emperor is about to die, and my intuition tells me that the first thing he wants to announce is this.
thing!
After a few seconds, the Emperor continued: "The first thing I want to say is that I may not have a few days to live. Maybe today, maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow, I will enter reincarnation!"
Hearing what the Human Emperor said, everyone knelt down. Many people's expressions changed drastically, and many people were openly sad, but in reality they were secretly happy.
I also wanted to get off the dragon chair, but the Human Emperor turned around and held me down at this time and said: "Prince Chen, don't move for now!"
I frowned, wondering what the hell the Human Emperor was doing.
I sat on the dragon chair, looked around, and accidentally saw Zhou Hao's expression. Even though he was sad in his heart, there was still an indescribable fanaticism, and that fanaticism was about to swallow up the sadness in his eyes.
It seems that Zhou Hao has been coveting the position of Human Emperor for a long time.
After everyone knelt down, they all said at the same time: "Long live your Majesty the Human Emperor!"
The Human Emperor smiled and said: "In the past few years, I have seen clearly that there is a destiny between life and death. I have forcibly extended my life for a few years, and I can no longer extend it. Now that I say this, I will no longer be able to extend my life."
the meaning of!"
"After my death, Prince Zhou Hao succeeds to the throne. I hope that everyone can work together to assist him!"
Hearing what the Human Emperor said, tears flowed from the corners of Zhou Hao's eyes. I could see that those tears were sincere, the tears of a child towards his father.
Zhou Hao knelt down and said: "Father, I..."
The Human Emperor interrupted Zhou Hao and said, "Stop talking yet, listen to me!"
Zhou Hao nodded.
The Human Emperor looked at the courtiers around him and said, "Are you willing to assist Crown Prince Zhou Hao like you assist me?"
Everyone said in unison: "We will definitely work hard!"
The Emperor continued: "When the prince first ascends the throne, there must be many things he doesn't understand, so I hope there is someone who can treat him well, so I want to find a teacher for the prince, who will also serve as an auxiliary minister, and will temporarily share the throne with the prince.
The government lasts for five years!"
Hearing what the Human Emperor said, Zhou Hao's eyes immediately flashed with displeasure. He didn't want to see anyone taking away his power.
Many of the courtiers below had longing expressions on their faces. They really wanted the Emperor to grant this position to them.
Of course, there are also many people who dare not look up and don't want to touch that spot.
Indeed, we are just the Imperial Master. The position of Assistant Minister will offend Zhou Hao, and Zhou Hao is the new Human Emperor. If we offend the Human Emperor, will we still have good fruits in the human race in the future?
When I was thinking this way, I suddenly had an unknown premonition. Could this position be reserved for me by the Human Emperor?
Just when I thought of this, the Human Emperor continued: "And I will grant this position to the first-class prince, Chen Yu. Although he has been the first-class prince for a short time, he has made many unparalleled contributions to our human race.
Peace talks, pacification of the Utopia, etc.!"
"So, I think he is definitely capable of taking on this important responsibility."
I was just about to say something when the Human Emperor suddenly sent a message to me: "Chen Yu, just think of it as me begging you, the request of a dying man!"
Hearing what the Human Emperor said, I felt a little soft-hearted, so I nodded, then stood up, knelt down and said to the Human Emperor: "I will definitely fulfill my position as the Emperor's Master and Assistant Minister! In the past five years, I have
I must let the prince secure his position."
As I said that, I looked at Zhou Hao. He didn't have much gratitude towards me, but some hatred towards me.
But he quickly put away his hatred and said: "Thank you, father, and thank you, Prince Chen, but father, you will be fine!"
The Human Emperor smiled and said, "If nothing happened, how could I say this?"
After saying that, the Human Emperor first helped me up, and then asked everyone to get up. The prince was not far in front of the Human Emperor, but the Human Emperor had no intention of helping the prince to get up.
I got up, but others didn't dare to get up. They were still kneeling there.
The Human Emperor continued: "If you are willing to kneel down, then kneel down. In addition, in order to consolidate Prince Chen's rule over the fiefdom in the northwest, and also to curb the demon clan and the third race, I now order that the six people living in Prince Chen's fiefdom will be removed."
The troops of the ten legions are all designated as Prince Chen's private soldiers. They are not subject to the control of the Emperor and are only commanded by Prince Chen alone!"
When I heard the Human Emperor say this, I was stunned.
Sixty legions, that's almost more than 800,000 people. The Human Emperor gave them all to me as private soldiers. This Human Emperor is too generous!
Not only me, but also Prince Zhou Hao, Prince Yun and others were also stunned.
Today I sit on the throne and become the future emperor's advisor and auxiliary minister, but I actually sent more than 800,000 troops. What a favor.
I was stunned for a while, and then asked: "Your Majesty, are you kidding me? If they are private soldiers, it turns out that the old army of the Utopia only has hundreds of thousands of people. They are enough for me..."
The Human Emperor shook his head and said: "It's not enough, far from enough. I'm giving it to you. I hope you won't refuse it anymore, Prince Chen!"
When the Human Emperor said this, I became silent.
The Human Emperor said it was not enough. Did he want me to command those soldiers to pacify the northwest?
Or is it that the Human Emperor has other intentions!?
I couldn't think of a reason, so I had no choice but to nod and accept the Human Emperor's award, then kneel down to thank him.
Then the Human Emperor said: "In addition, Zhou Li, the king of Xishan County, has also made some achievements in Xishan County, so I decided to promote him to the fifth-level prince. His fiefdom will remain unchanged and he will still be in charge of Xishan."
Zhou Li also immediately kowtowed and thanked him.
After saying this, the Human Emperor said: "That's enough for the first thing. Let's talk about the second thing now!"
When talking about the second thing, the Human Emperor turned his attention to Prince Yun.
Prince Yun frowned and asked, "Is it possible that your Majesty's second thing has something to do with me?"
The Human Emperor said: "Yes, I hope that all officials with the surnames Yan and Yang from the fourteen northwest prefectures and counties will come to Beijing to report on their duties, and then I will reassign some officials with other surnames to take up their posts."
As soon as the Human Emperor said these words, it was like blowing the clarion call to move Prince Yun.
This sentence shows that there is no room for maneuver in the relationship between the Human Emperor and Prince Yun.
Hearing what the Human Emperor said, Prince Yun's expression changed slightly, and then he slowly stood up from the ground.
Seeing Prince Yun stand up, Yan Shengjun and Yan Jin also stood up slowly.
Seeing this, many people's expressions changed drastically. Prince Yun was going to fall out with the Human Emperor.
There are even more people with regretful looks on their faces. They are not willing to get involved in this dispute at all, but they are on the dragon altar and have no way out. They can only choose to stand aside or stand by others. Either side with the emperor, or side with the prince.
I suddenly understood one thing. The Human Emperor invited these people here just to force them to take sides. Those who sided with the Human Emperor were kept, and those who sided with the Prince were killed.
As for those who waver, they should also be killed. The wallflowers are more hateful than those who directly rebel, because we don’t know when the wallflowers will come back to bite you, and it’s even harder to prevent them!
However, from a formal point of view, there are only three people on Prince Yun's side for the time being, and they are surrounded by the guards of the Human Emperor. It seems unwise to stand on Prince Yun's side.
But I looked at the prince's expression and it seemed that he was confident and had a countermeasure in mind.
The current situation is getting more and more complicated.
I suddenly realized that I couldn't see who had a greater chance of winning for the time being.
At the same time, the Human Emperor has a third thing that he has not said yet, so what will it be!? (To be continued)
