Chapter 433 Bloody Rain (Part 2)
Chapter 433: Bloody Storm (Part 2)
There was a dead silence in the hall.
Zhu Zhaoyuan already understood that at this time, she and Chen Yinjie had no way out! So she didn't care about her demeanor and influence, and she just wanted to find out her own goal!
"Who else is not convinced?" She looked at the silent ministers under the jade stairs and asked Senran.
"Empress Dowager, your approach is a big mistake in the world. You... cannot succeed!" Foreign Minister Ryan hesitated for a moment, and then he mustered up the courage to say.
Zhu Zhaoyuan waved her hand coldly: "Execute it!"
Immediately, a Blood Cloud Guard came over and killed him with one sword!
The first time I saw such a bloody scene, the legitimate prince Fang Yuan shrank a little fear, but under the cold eyes of his mother, he had to continue to maintain a righteous demeanor, biting his lips tightly, and his little face was pale.
At this point, the ministers fully understood that in order to sit in that seat, this woman could do anything! No matter what the consequences were or not!
Three consecutive imperial officials fell in pools of blood, which made the rest of them hesitate and no one spoke again, but it was psychologically hard to accept that they would immediately change their position and instead support this vicious woman!
So, everyone remained silent at the same time!
When Chen Yinjie saw that everyone present was a little more honest, he smiled and said with a smile:
"Everyone! Don't be so unlucky! The legitimate prince is the blood of the late emperor, and it is legitimate to inherit the throne! Anyway, no matter who is on this throne, aren't we all ministers of the empire? Shouldn't we all be loyal?"
"As long as you express your support for the new emperor ascend the throne today, you will have the merit of supporting him! The Queen Mother is kind and will be rewarded without hesitation! Why do you have to be so stubborn to the end?"
Everyone still didn't say anything, and some officials looked at him with obvious contempt and disgust!
The gangster fat man sneered in his heart. If I hadn't needed you to help stabilize the political situation now, would you think I would stand here with such a good temper and discuss with you?
Look at your hypocritical appearance and what kind of virtue are behind your back, don’t think I don’t know! Apart from the three old antiques that just died, they are still honest. Do you living guys really take the word “conformity” seriously?
He stopped talking nonsense and ordered the eunuch to bring a table, then put a blank document on it, and said directly:
"Everyone! It's the day when the new emperor ascends the throne and celebrates the whole world! I won't say anything else, as my wish for the new emperor! Come and sign the letter of loyalty! From now on, you can still enjoy wealth and honor! There are a lot of unexpected benefits!"
"If there are still people among you who can't think so, hehe... I will have to be sorry!"
As he said that, he raised his hand and pointed at an official:
"You! Mr. Andur, come and sign it! As long as you stand on our side, you will still be the highest person in charge of the Tianhua Star Domain Security Department in the future. The Queen Mother can also raise your title by two levels, and all kinds of rewards will not be missing you! How about it?"
The official named Andur seemed to be a little moved, but when he looked back at the ministers staring at him, he shrank a little timidly again.
"This... Prime Minister! I..." He stuttered, as if he wanted to bow his head, but wanted to delay for a moment!
"What? You won't agree?" Chen Yinjie said gloomyly.
Immediately! Two Blood Cloud Guards stood beside him with swords, without saying a word.
Faced with the threat of death, there are only a few people who can truly be fearless! Looking at the three courtiers whose blood was not yet dried up, Andur finally chose to surrender after struggling for a while!
"Okay! I... swear allegiance to His Majesty the Emperor!" He said with a harsh tone, and walked over and slowly signed his name on the loyalty document!
Chen Yinjie immediately changed his face and said happily: "Okay, okay! Mr. Anduer really knows the general idea! I and the Queen Mother here promise that the reward you will be rewarded immediately! In the future, you will be bound to be the ones who are very dedicated to doing things in the future!"
"Yes! Thank you, the Queen Mother, thank you, Prime Minister!" Anton sighed in his heart, and Andur said helplessly.
"Okay! Now it's your turn!" Chen Yinjie looked at the others again and said with a slight smile:
"Come here one by one and sign the letter! Don't let me and the Queen Mother make things difficult!"
After a stalemate for a while, most court officials chose to surrender! They signed their names on the document! But not all people were willing to surrender to the fat man's tyranny!
"Dear Minister of Military Affairs! Are you still unwilling to change your mind?" said the fat gangster looking at Gulons, who was as heavy as water:
"As long as you agree to support Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has promised you a title! This is the only glory of the empire in thousands of years! What else are you not satisfied with?"
"King? It sounds nice!" Gulons sneered,
"I can't afford such grace! I don't want to do it together! Therefore, I can only let the Queen Mother down!"
"You..." Chen Yinjie's face darkened, and he shook his head and said:
"Okay! Since you can't think it through now, then go back and reflect! When will you get to know the truth? Let's apologize to Your Majesty!"
"Come! Send your Minister of Military Affairs back to your home!"
Gulons glanced at him sarcastically, turned around and walked out with his head held high, followed by more than thirty generals who refused to submit!
The Minister of Military Affairs is also a veteran of several dynasties, and his disciples and old friends spread throughout the empire! The power in the army is even more deeply rooted! It is definitely not a person who can be humiliated at will!
Although Chen Yinjie was arrogant, he still had a brain. Seeing that he refused to bow his head, he didn't dare to do anything to him immediately. He just gave up his post and took him back to his mansion to be under house arrest!
In this way, under the threat of death, the senior officials of the Shufeng Empire finally reached a superficial agreement on the ascension of the new emperor, which became a certain fact amid the doubts in the court and the country!
The senior executives of the six major families naturally enjoyed seeing this result and gave them unremitting support! They even risked the infamy of rebellion and dispatched private troops to help Zhu Zhaoyuan control the situation in the imperial capital!
A minor child, plus a woman who is ruthless and has a big and brainless woman! She can’t control this huge empire at all! Even with Chen Yinjie’s help, the same! At most, she can only keep her safe temporarily!
In order to usurp the magic weapon, he did not hesitate to cooperate with the six major families! Only Zhu Zhaoyuan would think of this stupid behavior of attracting wolves into the house! Chen Yinjie could see that, but for his own self-interest, he chose to remain silent.
What's more, the empire is in a troublesome situation. Faced with various forces that are eyeing at home and abroad, what will happen in the end? Anyone with a little vision can guess in his heart!
Of course, this is only beneficial to the six major families! Speaking of which a few years ago, after the emperors of the two dynasties spared no effort to suppress them, they lost too many benefits! Faced with such an opportunity that could turn the situation around and turn defeat into victory, how could the heads of the family miss it easily?
Yun Hongchang was undoubtedly the happiest! Because of this, he regained enough support within the family, and several elders of the Yuntianqu Sect who did not like him began to favor him! His originally precarious position was as stable as Mount Tai!
Next, the proud and satisfied man and woman began to use their power to suppress and exclude dissidents! All officials and nobles who refused to cooperate and had rifts with them in the past were arrested and imprisoned on various charges, and were punished by either being executed or exiled without trial!
In just over ten days, thousands of officials and nobles were killed, demoted or exiled! The square in front of the imperial palace was already flowing blood!
However, this is not the most important thing! In order to stabilize the power in his hands, under the secret instigation of the six major families, under the cold eyes of Chen Yinjie, Zhu Zhaoyuan actually began to have the idea of the royal family!
In addition to the fifth princess Fang Mengyan who was already in the Starry Kingdom, there are five princes and nine princesses, most of whom are underage children. They were poisoned to death one by one by this vicious woman, and even their mothers were not spared!
Then, dozens of close relatives with high prestige and influence in the royal clan were imprisoned and killed by her in various names! Including Fang Yukun, who was already at home!
This approach undoubtedly aroused public outrage, and the royal family did not intend to fight back! However, in addition to the support of the six major families, this vicious woman also received the support of a group of mysterious strong men, and several assassinations ended in failure!
A group of generals from the royal family once mobilized all the troops they could control and tried to solve this woman in the form of a coup, but was wiped out by the private armies of six major families who were prepared for a long time!
Later, Zhu Zhaoyuan, who was crazy, simply did nothing and imprisoned all members of the royal family in the imperial capital! All the people or forces who dared to question her legitimacy were ruthlessly erased!
In the bloody storm, the Shufeng Empire has embarked on a path of no return! The goal that the heads of the aristocratic families have not achieved through hard work, but this woman happily did it for them!
Under the hideous and excited gaze of the six major families, the influence of the royal family has quickly dissipated with the deaths of many elite members! The mountain that has been pressing on them for thousands of years is beginning to collapse and collapse!
On an unstriking night, the heads of major families gathered together to reach several secret discussions that are unknown to outsiders on the future situation of the empire!
The heavens of the empire are about to change!
