At night, when he returned to his tent, the Ninth Prince asked with some worry: "Mr. Ye, will Father find us?"
"So what if we find out?" Ye Ming looked calm, "Without evidence, no one will do anything to you. And the king must also understand that if the third prince hadn't had harmful intentions first, His Highness would not have fought back."
Speaking of this, he suddenly said: "Prince, have you ever thought about who should inherit the throne after the king?"
The ninth prince sat up straight. He stared at Ye Ming and said, "Sir, is there any way to help me sit on the throne?"
"It's easy to sit on the throne." Ye Ming smiled slightly, "But I want to find out what factors can affect the throne, and whether there are forces outside the planet that intervene."
"No." The Ninth Prince said, "The throne is designated by the king, and the outside world will not control it. After taking the throne, go to the empire above to give a written approval, and the matter will be finalized."
Ye Ming nodded: "Then I won't hide it from Your Highness. My cultivation level has actually reached the realm of deification."
The Ninth Prince almost jumped up: "What? Sir is in the deification realm? That's no wonder, no wonder..."
Ye Ming smiled and said: "Your Highness understands what the deification realm means, and I am fully capable of helping you sit on the throne. However, I have a condition."
The Ninth Prince was not a fool. He understood the principle of not getting up early without benefit, and immediately said: "Sir, please speak."
Ye Ming: "In the future, I will be the protector of the country, with a status second only to the king. Moreover, I will also have jurisdiction over all exits of Taixu Illusion. Without my permission, no force is allowed to enter Taixu Illusion."
When the Ninth Prince heard this, it was not a big deal. If he became a king, these would only be matters in one sentence. He immediately said: "Sir, don't worry, if I were a king, I would definitely be able to do it."
Ye Ming nodded: "Then next, I will ask the prince, do you want to be the king in the future, or do you want to be the king immediately?"
The Ninth Prince swallowed nervously: "What will we do in the future? What will we do now?"
Ye Ming smiled and said: "If you do it in the future, just wait slowly until the old king dies, and then I will find a way to help you ascend. If you do it now, I will find a way to make the king abdicate."
The Ninth Prince was a little nervous and said, "Can the second option work? Will the ministers and other princes be unconvinced?"
"Of course they are not convinced, but it doesn't matter. Once you have the power, you can kill and kill them, and they will gradually become convinced."
The Ninth Prince took a deep breath and said, "In this case, I hope to be the king immediately."
Ye Ming laughed: "Okay. There is no need for this safari. Tomorrow morning, I will let the king announce his retirement as the supreme king, and then pass the throne to you."
Late at night, Ye Ming activated his soul and began to control the king. Although the king is in the realm of true power, he is no better than an ant in front of the realm of deification. Ye Ming's soul crushed him, and his will soon disintegrated and was controlled by him.
Of course, this control is only short-term, but it's enough. Once the king abdicates, the situation is set and no one can change it.
After the king was under control, he immediately issued an emergency order and ordered the main generals of the three armies to come overnight. So the next day, at dawn, millions of troops were already on display. The king had absolute control over the army and no one could defy his will.
The princes and officials were dumbfounded. Why did the king mobilize an army? What happened? Is there a rebellion
The king summoned all the princes and officials. He sighed and said, "I am getting older, and I have become less and less interested in government affairs recently. So I am thinking, should I give way to young people?"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked. What happened? The king is in his prime, why does he want to abdicate
The king continued: "Of all the princes, the ninth prince is the most kind, kind and intelligent. Therefore, I decided to pass the throne to the ninth prince, Xuansheng." After saying that, he ordered someone to fetch the king's robe, the big seal, and The order was handed over to the ninth prince Xuan Sheng.
Although the generals were surprised, they had to listen to the king's words. As soon as Xuansheng received the seal, they all came forward to worship.
"Long live, long live, long live, Your Majesty the King!"
Xuansheng stood on the high platform and said loudly: "After taking office, I will work diligently for the people. I hope that all the generals and officials can work together with me to govern the country better!"
The princes are all stupid. What's going on? Dad is not very old, why did he abdicate? And even if he abdicates, he won't pass it on to Lao Jiu, right? Before him, not counting the dead third child, there were at least eight people more qualified than him. Regardless of the connections or the support of the ministers in the DPRK, Lao Jiu should not be the one to take the position.
But whether they miss it or not, the fact has been established, Xuan Sheng is already the king. Moreover, the king passed the throne in front of so many generals, which undoubtedly gave Xuansheng enough support and prestige in the army.
After speaking, Xuan Sheng said: "Today's hunting is over. Let's move back to the court."
Things are progressing more smoothly than Ye Ming expected. No one will object at this time, because the person who passes the throne is the king, and the king is not dead, so questioning is useless.
After returning to court, the king decided to hold a formal succession ceremony three days later. After passing the throne, he will enter Ciqian Palace to live in peace in his old age.
However, even Ye Ming could feel that there was an undercurrent surging throughout the court, and a big storm seemed to be brewing. His approach was to stand still and wait and see what happens.
Although he has not officially succeeded to the throne, Xuansheng can already issue decrees. His first decree is to confer Ye Ming as the Grand Protector of the Country. His official position is Super Grade. Moreover, he also announced that a banquet will be held tomorrow night to entertain all the generals.
The army is the cornerstone of a stable political power. Only when the army is in control can it be considered a real political power, otherwise it will be unstable.
The dinner was held in the palace. The food was sumptuous and the wine was abundant. The generals were all rough and generous people, drinking from large bowls and eating meat with large mouthfuls. During the first half of the dinner, Ye Ming stood behind the new king without saying a word.
When everyone had finished drinking, the new king said with a smile: "I haven't officially introduced you to the current Grand Protector of the Country, Master Ye."
The status of the national advisor is extremely high, and the generals all look at Ye Ming. Finally, a general asked: "I wonder what this great national advisor is capable of and dares to serve as an advisor to a country?"
The new king smiled and said: "Guoshi Ye is naturally capable. If you generals are dissatisfied, you can challenge them. I will definitely accept them."
This approach was what Ye Ming asked the new king to do. He wanted to use today's dinner to make everyone completely loyal to the king and not have second thoughts.
A general laughed and said, "In that case, how about I compete with the national master in boxing and kicking?"
Ye Ming smiled slightly, stood up and said: "If everyone, generals, wants to compete with me, when will the competition last? It's better to have all the generals take action together. I only use a pen, not a weapon. "
As he spoke, he picked up a writing brush from the king's desk and dipped it in ink.
The generals were stunned. This kid was crazy and asked all the generals to take action together. Didn't he know that every general had gone through battles and was strong
But since someone doesn't want to live, the generals are happy to kill him. After all, there is a national advisor sitting above him, which makes them very unhappy. I don't know which general shouted, and all the generals drew their swords, drew their swords, and greeted Ye Ming one after another with the light and shadow of their swords.
Ye Ming's body swayed and turned into a shadow, flashing back and forth in the hall. At first, some generals felt a chill on their necks and were shocked. When they reached out and touched their hands, they found that their hands were covered with ink. It turned out that Ye Ming had marked his necks with a brush.
Less than thirty breaths later, all the generals stopped because their necks were all scratched with a brush. If Ye Ming had used a weapon instead of a writing brush, they would all be dead.
Ye Ming reappeared next to the new king. He put down the brush in his hand and said with a smile: "I accepted."
The new king laughed "haha": "How about it, will you be convinced, generals?"
The generals felt chilled in their hearts. This man was so powerful. No wonder the Ninth Prince succeeded to the throne. It turned out that he was his backer!
The new king's next words made them lose their disobedience and become willing to serve him. The new king said: "Our Master Ye is a powerful person in the realm of deification. It can be said that he is the first powerful person in the history of our planet."
What? Deify the strong? The generals were shocked. In their hearts, the deified monks were like gods. The deified monks who had always appeared on this planet were all from outside. They were all so arrogant that even the king was stunned when he saw them. You have to be careful, just like a grandson. But in front of me, there is actually a transformation state, and it is on this planet, and it has become a national teacher
A general bowed to the ground in surprise and said: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, from now on, our planet's status in the Pingshu Empire will definitely rise sharply and become a great country!"
It turns out that the empire this country belongs to is called the Pingshu Empire. Among the kingdoms under the Pingshu Empire, those without powerful deity realm can only be regarded as small kingdoms. But with the existence of deified monks, it would be a real big country. Even the empire would pay attention to it, reduce taxes, and even provide regular rewards. Most importantly, with deified monks, the king was eligible to go to the capital of the empire every year to attend court meetings.
The new king smiled and said: "Generals, please stand up. I have just succeeded to the throne, and I still need your support in terms of government affairs."
All the generals said in unison: "We will definitely be loyal!"
The succession ceremony three days later was held for one day and was very cumbersome. Ye Ming followed and presided over the whole process because he was the national master.
As he expected, with the full support of the military, none of the princes dared to cause trouble, and the officials also turned their backs on the new king, vying to express their loyalty.
Of course, as a rule, when a new king succeeds to the throne, he will receive a large reward. There are always officials and generals who support him, otherwise he would not be ranked among the top ten princes. As a result, a group of people were promoted to three levels and assumed great power.
