The sixteen-year-old crown prince Ye Zi ascended the throne as emperor as promised, announcing the news to the world and celebrating with everyone.
As for the twists and turns that have occurred in the past few months, Concubine Xiao has suppressed them all.
Including the "leaf is not a leaf" incident two months ago, it did not hinder the new emperor's ascension to the throne. Instead, it dramatically helped the new emperor clear the court and opposition.
On the night when the crown prince and his biological mother, Concubine Xiao, were having a secret conversation, the royal family flew out of Chang'an. Late the next night, Zhao Fugui's family in Jingzhou was brutally attacked by mysterious masked men.
Including the big black dog guarding the door, the two thrushes hanging on the eaves, and the seventeen servants in the house, a total of thirty-two living creatures were all slaughtered on the spot.
However, it is worth mentioning that the key figure in this incident, Zhao Fugui, escaped death that night.
It's not because the Xiao mother and son are soft-hearted.
It's not because Zhao Fugui is so powerful.
It was because there was a secret door in the Zhao family's mansion. Zhao Fugui seemed to have expected it and escaped through the secret door when the mysterious person came to kill him.
But he was quickly caught up by the mysterious masked man.
Just when that group of mysterious people were about to end Zhao Fugui's life, people belonging to the imperial court or Zhu Hou arrived.
After saving Zhao Fugui, the other mysterious people couldn't do anything, so they all hanged themselves, leaving no one alive.
Although Concubine Xiao was not completely satisfied with this result, she was still able to accept it.
Because all the evidence that hindered Ye Zi's ascension to the throne was destroyed, only Zhao Fugui remained at the core of the incident.
Based on his one-sided words, as long as Ye Zi can face it calmly, it will definitely be difficult to change the overall situation.
However, Empress Zhu Yuyan and Concubine Wanwan were not willing to accept this. They used kindness and power to bribe Zhao Fugui and tried their best to collect personal and physical evidence from the past in Daluo.
One month later.
There are only two decades until the new emperor ascends the throne.
Empress Zhu Yuyan and Concubine Wanwan, with their skill, summoned a large group of ministers from both the government and the public, including Goryeo, Turks, Damang and other princes and nobles, to come to Chang'an to witness the "historical facts" of that year.
Confronting Concubine Xiao and her son in the Tai Chi Hall!
Although the personal and material evidence they have collected over this period of time cannot completely restore the truth of the year, it can at least hinder the delay of the new emperor's enthronement!
However, what all the ministers did not expect was that Zhao Fugui, who had been bribed by Zhu Hou and others and was full of sorrow and anger towards his former son Zhao Gou Sheng, actually turned against him on the spot in front of everyone in the world!
In the Taiji Hall, he looked around at several kings, princes, nobles, and ministers, and said sadly:
"The Crown Prince, Empress Xiao, all ministers, and common man Zhao Fugui are guilty!
It’s them!”
Under Zhu Yuyan and Wanwan's unexpected gazes, he pointed at them and said:
"It's these two demon queens and concubines! They coerced, lured, tortured, and asked ordinary people to fabricate Zhao Goucheng's identity in an attempt to overthrow the Daluo Dynasty!
Untouchable Zhao Fugui, damn!
That bitch Wang Shufen, deserve to die!
But Demon Queen Zhu Yuyan and Demon Concubine Wanwan deserve to die even more!
It was they who tortured and persecuted me so severely that I made a mistake in my business, which implicated the lives of dozens of members of my family!"
After that, Zhao Fugui knelt down in the Tai Chi Hall with tears streaming down his face, and kowtowed eighteen times to his own son, Zhao Gouchen, who was sitting on the dragon throne!
"Please punish the Crown Prince!
Please convict Empress Xiao!
Please forgive me, Immortal Ancestor Tai'a!
Grass people, damn it!
Damn it!
Damn it!
Damn it!"
One damn thing is a banging of the head, and the forehead is bloody and bloody.
After eighteen ringings.
The last key witness of the year, Zhao Fugui, was knocked to death in the Tai Chi Hall!
Not only Zhu Yuyan but also Wanwan was stunned.
Several princes and nobles were also stunned.
Concubine Xiao and Ye Zi were also stunned!
They naturally knew that after Zhao Fugui was captured by Zhu Yuyan's people, no matter whether it was for assassination or instigation of rebellion, none of the people they sent came back!
They were all killed by Zhu Yuyan!
Therefore, Zhao Fugui, the eighteen ringheads, and Zhu Yuyan and others who defected before the battle, were not colluding with them at all!
It was completely Zhao Fugui, just improvising on the spot!
It turns out that his hatred for his own son Zhao Gou Sheng during this period was all just an act!
Even though the price was so heavy that all nine clans were wiped out, Zhao Fugui still sacrificed his life to benefit his child Zhao Gou Sheng before he died!
Tai Chi Hall fell into a long silence.
Then they all vaguely looked at Empress Zhu and Concubine Wan, who were directing this big scene.
Even the giant of the Demon Sect, who knew the truth back then, now knows that the master and apprentice are probably in trouble today.
For no other reason than because Ye Ye was the emperor because it was the order of the Immortal Ancestor. Besides, except for Shi Zhixuan and Xi Ying, most of them only speculated on the truth back then without any conclusive evidence.
So it is impossible for them to stand up and restore the so-called truth!
Moreover, Zhu Hou summoned not only the giants of the Demon Sect back then, but also the world's wealthy families, as well as princes and envoys from foreign countries to give evidence in court!
This time, because of Zhao Fugui's sudden defection, it was self-defeating!
If the identity of Crown Prince Ye cannot be overthrown, then the master and apprentice will definitely pay the price!
Just when the envoys from various countries were talking about it.
On the throne.
Ye Zi, whose face turned pale as if struck by lightning, finally spoke. He tried his best to cover up his trembling voice and ordered sharply:
"I am the Crown Prince, and the Immortal Ancestor personally gave me the title, Son of Heaven!
Today is the eleventh day of the fourth lunar month, and there are still two ten days before the coronation ceremony.
I! I have borrowed twenty days from the Immortal Grandfather Emperor of the Heavenly Realm, and I will temporarily be called Emperor Daluo!
All ministers, please obey your orders!"
The ministers of the government and the public looked at each other in disbelief. Finally, one person started. Everyone, including Wu'an Wang Shi Zhixuan and Fu Guo Gong Xiying, bowed in unison:
"My lord, please listen to your orders!"
Royal ministers from so many countries are here.
Today is not an era when the Demon Emperor is still alive, and one person can dominate the world's mountains and rivers for hundreds of thousands of miles.
If they continue to have civil strife under such circumstances, how will the great country lose face?!
Ye Zi swallowed, looked at Queen Zhu Yuyan and Concubine Wanwan with terrifying eyes, and said:
“The Demon Queen Zhu Yuyan!
Demon concubine Wanwan!
Fabricated historical facts, bribed the untouchable Zhao Fugui, with the intention of causing cholera in Daluo Sheji!
Now, in the name of Immortal Ancestor Tai'a, I deprive him of his status as queen and concubine.
Abolish the power!
Into limbo!
You are not allowed to step outside the harem for the rest of your life!
In front of the Tai Chi Hall, I will give you a hundred iron whips, and I will decide whether you live or die!"
"You little bastard, how dare you!"
Zhu Yuyan patted the phoenix chair, her eyes filled with murderous intent.
"The Demon Emperor Tai'a couldn't bear to whip the two of us, but it's just you?!"
Wanwan also said angrily.
"Brother, please don't!"
The eldest princess Ye Mingkong begged bitterly.
However, this time, Daluo giants also sided with the consumer mother and son.
Concubine Xiao also took out the Dragon-Slaying Sword with a terrifying look in her eyes.
In the end, after Duke Dingguo said, "Mingkong, step aside, you are the true bloodline of the Demon Emperor, don't get involved", and with the subtle hints in the eyes of the demon sect giants, Zhu Yuyan and Wanwan finally made a concession.
As long as these people still recognize that Kong is the only true bloodline of the Demon Emperor, then everything will still have a chance.
But it is absolutely impossible to abolish martial arts!
Ye Zi was also prompted by Xiao Meiniang, and until now, he could not push Zhu Yuyan, the great master, into a hurry.
Then he ordered that for the sake of Immortal Ancestor Tai'a, he would be exempted from having to lose his martial arts, but other punishments must not be missing!
As for the entire Zhao Fugui clan, because of Zhao Fugui's return from his lost ways, he was reduced to the Yi clan for the crime of implicating the nine clans!
In the Tai Chi Hall.
Witnessed by all ministers.
Concubine Xiao Xiao Meiniang held an iron whip and whipped Queen Zhu Yuyan and Concubine Wanwan with one hundred each.
Whip the whip into the flesh.
Until his back was bloody and bloody.
After Wan Fei Wanwan gave birth to Ye Mingkong, her vitality was severely weakened.
This time, after being whipped a hundred times by Xiao Meiniang, her martial arts skills were almost useless and her vitality was dim.
As for Queen Zhu Yuyan, with her great master background, although she was still severely injured and the scars on her back were difficult to clean, her heart and veins were not as damaged as Wanwan's, but her vitality was maintained by her profound skills.
The eighteenth year of Tai'a.
Queen Zhu Yuyan and Concubine Wanwan were whipped one hundred times each in the Tai Chi Hall. They were severely wounded and were thrown into the cold palace.
The first day of the fifth lunar month.
The Crown Prince was officially enthroned as Emperor, and his reign title followed the one set by the Immortal Ancestor, which was: Tai'a.
On that day, his biological mother, Concubine Xiao, was conferred the title of Empress Dowager.
The world is celebrating the amnesty.
Countries such as Korea, Turks, and Damang sent envoys to congratulate him with rare treasures.
Three days later.
Cold palace.
In the past, Concubine Wanwan was lying on the hospital bed, her breath was as thin as a thread, and all the attendants beside her were missing. Only the eldest princess, Ye Mingkong, was looking after her.
"mother!"
The tears in Ye Mingkong's eyes had dried, but his expression calmed down.
Hmm~
The slightest movement by Wanwan made her back feel painful, but she raised her hand to signal Ye Mingkong to sit still.
Wanwan said painfully: "Mingkong, mother wants to protect you, so she wants you to sit in that position. Otherwise, you will always be abused! Do you know?"
Ye Mingkong squeezed his pink fist and nodded resolutely: "Mingkong knows, mother, Mingkong will definitely avenge you, but I want to know, brother, is he really not his father's son?"
Wanwan's eyes suddenly turned cold, and she said: "No! He is the medium through which the Demon Emperor wants to maintain the Daluo Kingdom. Ye Zi is just a bastard named Zhao!"
Ye Mingkong was silent.
For a while.
She suddenly asked: "What about me, mother?"
despair!
Wanwan suddenly grabbed Ye Mingkong's wrist, looked at Ye Mingkong with burning eyes, and said:
"You are! Only you! You are the real bloodline of Ye!
Mingkong! Don’t doubt your identity. Only you can manifest the magic pattern that the Immortal Ancestor used to cover the mountains and rivers!
No one deserves to sit in that position except you!
You are the daughter of the Demon Emperor!
They are the last remaining species of immortals on earth!
If he knew of your existence, he would never have the heart to leave my mother and I here!
If he knows that that bastard dares to do this to us, he will definitely make that bitch and his bastards die without their bodies intact!"
despair!
Ye Mingkong put his other palm on Wanwan's hand and said calmly: "Mom, Mingkong will definitely take back what belongs to us!"
The twenty-third year of Tai'a.
Emperor Ye Zi succeeded to the throne for more than five years.
On the basis of the advanced laws promulgated by the immortal ancestor Tai'a, the civil and military examinations were launched, and hundreds of laws were promulgated according to local conditions.
Because there is part of Yang Gong's treasury wealth retained by the Immortal Ancestor, Da Luo's treasury is always strong, and the tax pressure on the subjects of the world is extremely light.
In the past five years, the country and people in Daluo have been peaceful and prosperous.
Although Li Chunfeng, the eternal sinner, stood in the dragon's veins, he wasted the fortune of Da Luo first.
However, Emperor Xianzu's advanced system not only eradicated the monopoly of wealthy families on the world's wealth, power, and knowledge, but the "imperial examination system" proposed by him was also carried forward in Ye Zi's hands.
Although the outstanding figures of the Daluo Dynasty are far from the brilliant figures they were twenty or thirty years ago.
However, due to the existence of the imperial examination system, especially the final "palace examination", the emperor personally assessed talents.
This also gives the world's talented people, to a certain extent, the opportunity to compete fairly on the same stage as those young men from wealthy families.
Therefore, in the years since Emperor Ye Ye ascended the throne, under the twelve-character policy of "teaching students in accordance with their aptitude," "making the best use of everything," and "making the best use of people's talents," although the land of Middle-earth is no longer as crowded as before, it can still be regarded as containing the dragon's veins from being cut off.
The declining trend has stabilized the magnificent national destiny achieved by Emperor Xianzu, and the people are applauding it.
In the past few years, even Emperor Ye Zi has wanted to reduce the influence of the eldest princess Ye Mingkong, the "only bloodline of the Immortal Ancestor" in the court.
However, it was resolved by the giants of the Demon Sect without leaving a trace.
Because in their hearts, the real Ye Zi is the princess.
Ye Mingkong is deeply loved by Chaozhong Humerus.
Even the emperor who wanted to reduce her influence had no choice but to hide his love for this sister.
The plan to raise her as a canary is bound to fail.
The eldest princess likes to play, which is an attribute she has had since she was a child.
However, even in the midst of this almost "acting cute and coquettish" play, she was invisibly manipulating things, and almost became a giant in the court, who seemed to have no real power, but yet had all the power in the government.
By the time Emperor Ye Zi reacted and quickly stopped this trend, the eldest princess Ye Mingkong, because of her character, confused Emperor Ye Zi, and the situation had already gotten worse.
but.
If one wanted to overthrow him, the emperor who was granted the title of Immortal Ancestor and was applauded by both the government and the public, that would be absolutely impossible.
Not to mention she is still a prostitute.
But one day in the 23rd year of Tai'a, a noise suddenly broke out in the imperial court, but it was quickly suppressed.
In the palace of the eldest princess.
The giants of the Demon Sect gathered together.
The eldest princess was unconscious in bed.
Emperor Ye Zi’s eyes turned gray.
The Empress Dowager Xiao Meiniang's face was ashen.
The reason for everything is that the emperor Ye Zi, who worked hard to govern, had an alone time with his favorite princess Ye Mingkong an hour ago after handling all the government affairs.
Emperor Ye Zi lost his mind and almost gave away the eldest princess Ye Mingkong...
Fortunately, the giants of the Demon Sect were aware of it and rushed to the scene, stopping this catastrophic mistake before it was completed.
After being diagnosed by An Guogong Zuo Youxian, the eldest princess contained a huge amount of Ecstasy in her body...
The officials criticized him.
The leaves are speechless.
Woo~
Ye Mingkong gradually woke up, her mind was in chaos. She looked blankly at the concerned eyes around her and said: "Uncle Zuo, Uncle Shi, Uncle An... what's going on?"
She knew best what was going on.
When the two of them were alone, she touched Yin Zheng with her hand, but secretly used the soul-catching technique of the Yin Gui sect, which caused Ye Zi to lose his heart and soul.
Then he bit into pieces of the Ecstasy incense hidden in his mouth, which led to this ending.
And because of her special martial arts, she only manifested the magic pattern phenomenon once that year. Although her martial arts has improved over the years, her special martial arts, which is similar to that of the Immortal Emperor, has kept her Qi hidden and hidden in her clumsiness.
No one knew that her skills had reached the appalling half-step master level.
At least in the eyes of many giants, Ye Mingkong cannot be fooled by the fact that although his body is weak, he has practiced the Beiming Divine Art, absorbed a huge amount of internal energy, and forcibly reached the level of a very powerful master.
Even Ye Zi himself feels the same way, because the hallucinations caused by the Yingui sect's soul-catching skills can almost be confused with reality.
In addition, he had an abnormal love for Ye Mingkong, and now he was only blaming himself for losing his mind for a moment...
The only doubt is why Ye Mingkong has so much Ecstasy in his body.
But the only maid who brought them food at that time had died inexplicably...
Cang Shao, the eldest son of the Demon Xiang Sect and one of the people who loved Ye Mingkong the most, came up to him and comforted Ye Mingkong on the couch: "It's okay, Mingkong, please sleep peacefully.
As long as we protect you, no one can do anything to you."
The rest of the people, although a few had doubts, came up to comfort them one by one.
About a quarter of an hour later.
All the giants walked out of the palace one after another.
When Qin Guogong Cang Shao passed by Emperor Ye Zi, he couldn't help but snorted: "How can you tarnish the bloodline of the Demon Emperor?"
Ye Zi’s face turned pale!
That night.
Ye Mingkong's biological mother Wanwan, who had secret conversations with Duke Cang Shao of Qin, Duke Zhuang Liang of Yu, former Queen Zhu Yuyan and others, died on the bed.
He died at the age of forty-three.
Ended with a smile.
Another three years passed.
The twenty-sixth year of Tai'a.
What Ye Mingkong, Zhu Yuyan and others didn't expect was that Emperor Ye Zi actually lost to him before many of their tactics were deployed.
In other words, he was defeated by Cang Shao, the Duke of Qin, who said heart-wrenchingly: "How can you tarnish the bloodline of the Demon Emperor?"
Although after that, Cang Shao's power continued to decline, and after a certain "big mistake", he was deprived of the Immortal Emperor's hereditary reward by the emperor for three generations, and he himself was demoted from Duke to Marquis.
However, Emperor Ye Zi, who had been working hard to cure his illness, was deteriorating!
Ye Zi could tell it from the eyes of those people.
These people!
These unruly people, these powerful people!
It turns out that from the beginning to the end, he never regarded himself as the bloodline of the Immortal Ancestor!
I just made a half-step wrong on my errand, but I didn't make a big mistake!
They are in vain for all the hard work I have put into the country of Da Luo Jiang Shan She Ji over the years!
In the past three years, Qin Guogong's heart-breaking words have always lingered in Ye Zi's heart!
Let his already weak body and bones collapse year by year under the influence of mental turmoil!
Even the handling of government affairs is in a state of decline!
finally.
November 11th of the same year.
Emperor Ye Zi went to court in the morning and once again faced the gazes of those former demon sect giants, he vomited blood and passed out on the desk where he was dealing with government affairs.
When he woke up, what he faced was not the entreaties of his subordinates, but a forced execution organized by Ye Mingkong that he had planned for a long time!
And because he has often been powerless in government affairs in recent years, Wu'an Wang Shi Zhixuan, who originally supported him, actually chose to acquiesce in this incident!
In the 26th year of Tai'a, on the twelfth day of the eleventh month of the lunar calendar, His Majesty the Emperor Ye Ye suffered a physical collapse, and the government affairs were temporarily handed over to his beloved sister Ye Mingkong.
In the twenty-seventh year of Tai'a, on the eighteenth day of the second month of the lunar calendar, Emperor Ye Ye passed away at the age of twenty-six.
The next day.
The eldest princess Ye Mingkong manifested the vision of the supreme master's magic patterns in Chang'an, just like the former Demon Emperor!
Shock the world!
All the ministers are following!
The momentum is growing!
The eighth day of the third lunar month.
Ye Mingkong relied on the bloodline of the Demon Emperor, the supreme military force of the Grand Master, and the recommendation of the ministers to overcome all opinions and ascend the throne as the emperor!
On the same day.
Decide on the temple name of his brother Ye Zong: Luo Muzong!
Derogatory name!
To rectify the name of his biological mother Wanwan and posthumously confer the title of Empress Dowager!
Depriving Empress Xiao of her status as empress dowager, and intending to take away the Dragon Sword given by the Immortal Ancestor himself!
With the crowd of officials looking around, Mrs. Xiao drew her sword and stood up!
Said: "My dear mother has given me this gift, who dares to take it away from me?"
Boom!
Long!!!
a bolt from the blue!
Thunder continues during the day!
The empress Ye Mingkong and her ministers were shocked and frightened.
They all knelt down in an attempt to calm down the immortal ancestor Tai'a!
The thunder gradually subsided.
The world is peaceful and peaceful.
In the end, the Xiao family was awarded the prosperous land of Yangzhou by the empress Ye Mingkong. Although she was deprived of her status as empress dowager and the privilege of cutting the dragon sword, she still retained her status as the concubine of the immortal ancestor and the body of the sword, and lived in glory in the city of Yangzhou.
But what everyone didn't expect was that everyone thought that the empress Ye Mingkong not only wanted to clear the name of her biological mother, Concubine Wan, but also wanted to do justice to the former empress Zhu Yuyan.
But the empress directly drove Zhu Empress out of Chang'an City!
Let him choose a city and land!
However, it was completely in vain that Gu Zhuhou helped to ascend the throne and was banned from entering the imperial capital of Chang'an for life!
Zhu Yuyan, who was over a hundred years old but still as graceful as ever, once questioned the empress in the harem.
Ye Mingkong said softly: "Do you know, my impression of you has always been on the phrase 'if you die, you will die'. When I was still young, you forced me three times."
It's not a pity to take the immortal blood of my father and cause my meridians to break, all my orifices to bleed, and the pain to be endless.
My biological mother, Concubine Wan, has tried to stop you many times, but you have said, "If you die, you will die. If you don't succeed, it will be in vain."
The reason why I won't kill you is just because the Immortal Emperor is above me!
Don't worry, the Yingui Sect will definitely flourish in the world.
Now.
roll!"
After Zhu Yuyan left angrily.
Ye Mingkong was dressed in a dragon robe, looking up at the stars, and murmured: "Am I really your daughter..."
Meteors streak across the sky.
The harem was silent.
Ye Mingkong did not ask Zhu Yuyan about her true life experience.
Because it seems that everything is not so important anymore.
Thousands of miles away.
Da Mang.
Du Fuwei, who had gray hair but was full of energy, stood alone on the viewing platform of the Damang Imperial Court that night after receiving the news from China.
Look up at the stars.
"His grandma's..."
"Li Chunfeng, Yuan Tiangang, you two are so awesome, you said that the last hidden dragon in China will be female. So that's what you meant..."
"But you still haven't told me until your death whether the Demon King's dragon is a male or a female..."
"And the birthmark on my butt is so damn ugly..."
"His grandma's..."
"But thank you. You two, Niubi, and son Kou and son Xu, don't mess with the Demon Emperor anymore in heaven. I won't even dare to die if you don't do it..."
"By the way, I helped you preach, and now Taoism has flourished in Damang, thousands of miles away!"
"It's just that your laoshizi Taoist robes don't look very good. I'll change them for you, and those Taoist nuns can put them on, tsk tsk..."
Sudden.
A cold female voice came from behind.
"Du Fuwei! What are you talking about?"
Du Fuwei, who was wearing a dragon robe, turned around.
Zhu Yuyan stands alone.
She is still as beautiful as ever.
"Yo? This isn't..."
"It's you who wishes grandma!"
"Haha, it's his grandma's. Just wish grandma the best. Why are you okay? Why are you here?"
"I'm here to lend you a place in Da Mang. Would you like to borrow it?"
"..."
"Borrow! Of course I'll borrow it! One thousand seats, ten thousand seats, I'll lend them to you!"
