Chapter 2610 Good or bad luck
A few days later.
Seven days have passed since the death of the old emperor. Under the arrangement of the Minister of Rites, a simple enthronement ceremony was held.
Actually, this is against the rules.
But considering the current chaotic situation, it is still necessary to announce to the ministers as soon as possible who the new emperor is.
Wait until everything is settled before holding a formal enthronement ceremony.
In this simple enthronement ceremony, the third prince was so proud that he put on the imperial robe, turned around and stepped onto the throne.
All of a sudden, all the ministers gathered together.
They knelt in the main hall and saluted him one by one.
Although many important ministers were reluctant, they still followed the trend and bowed together.
And at this time. After the third prince took the throne, he asked the chief eunuch to announce the decree.
“…”
“Canonize the eldest brother as the King of Virtue, and the second brother as the King of Loyalty.”
Come up and confer two kings on the two brothers. , or the one-word king, they all sound pretty good.
But everyone knows that this is just the beginning. In the future, the two brothers will have to let him plot to death.
Don’t forget those experiences from the previous dynasty.
Then the third prince began to promote a large number of people to positions and titles.
Almost everyone has a share, which makes everyone feel a little more at ease.
Some people think that they can switch families in time and join the third prince.
Anyway, taking refuge in someone is not taking refuge in someone, and being a dog to someone is not being a dog?
In the feudal era, the loyalty rate was very low, less than one percent.
Of course these people also know that after the third prince's position is settled, a new purge will begin.
How can one switch families so cheaply? It’s impossible.
Now is the time to test everyone’s relationship skills.
It’s just that they don’t know that the world is changing.
So-called relationships quickly become useless.
While the ministers were congratulating the new emperor, suddenly a man in black walked in at the door of the hall.
The man in black's footsteps were silent, and the guard saw him first.
At this time, the Minister of Rites, who was presiding over the ceremony, directly saw the man in black because he was facing the entrance of the hall.
“Who dares to break into Qianqing Palace privately!”
"Do you know that if you make trouble during the enthronement ceremony, you will kill the nine tribes?"
The enthronement ceremony has a fixed process.
It is fixed when and who will appear.
It is absolutely impossible for an inexplicable person to appear in this ceremony.
When the man came closer, everyone was horrified to find that the man in black could not see his face at all!
He was not wearing any mask, but it was as if there was always a black cloth covering his face.
In fact, there was nothing on his face, just a mass of black.
The nose and eyebrows cannot be seen clearly.
Everyone looked at it and were suddenly surprised.
“Who is this person and why is he so dark?”
"Could it be a Kunlun slave who paid tribute somewhere?"
"Kunlun slave? Where is the Han general? Take him down quickly!"
Two Han generals followed, holding ceremonial sledgehammers. , come forward directly.
However, before they could reach each other, everyone saw the man in black take two steps forward, and with lightning speed, he reached out and grabbed the two of them by their throats.
The next moment, the two guards were rolling on the ground holding their broken throats.
The pain was so painful that I couldn't speak. Soon my face turned blue and I suffocated to death in pain.
Then everyone was shocked.
“There are assassins!”
“Come and protect the emperor!”
“There are assassins, where are the guards?”
Soon the guards responsible for guarding the main hall gathered from the palace.
For a time, under the command of several commanders, they jointly raised their bows and arrows, and immediately shot at the man in black.
Normally it is impossible for them to have arrows, because now it is a special tense situation, so they will string the bow and keep the arrow in their body.
However, facing the rain of arrows, the man in black immediately swayed from side to side and dodged the arrows one after another.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
However, then a hail of arrows fell.
This time, an arrow finally hit the man in black.
Before everyone could scream with joy, someone discovered that the arrow had passed directly through the man in black!
Like shooting on a shadow.
This is simply incredible.
"How is this possible? Why is it showing through?"
Everyone was very panicked.
Only the eldest prince who had just been named the "King of Virtue" was very happy.
This ghost's trick is indeed powerful. It was not in vain that he secretly killed a hundred people to sacrifice to the other party.
Of course the killing place is still in an underground cave, and the people killed are still homeless people, beggars, the old, weak, sick and disabled in orphanages...
He suppressed the joy in his heart.
【Okay, that's good, hurry up and kill! 】
【The target is the New Emperor! 】
As if hearing the eldest prince's voice, the man in black quickened his pace.
He started walking towards the third prince on the throne.
At this time, the third prince was already frightened and a little confused.
He quickly used the charcoal pen under his big robe to draw on a new painting.
The picture shows that the man in black will be beaten to death by several powerful men.
Wen Rensheng naturally knew that this man in black came from the eldest prince's resentment.
And the eldest prince, who used to be so superior that everyone wanted to fawn over him and was the first in line to succeed him, has now fallen to the point where he can only be a prince in name only.
Soon the eldest prince will also taste the feeling of being bullied.
The seventh-grade county magistrate of a place may use the emperor's will to bully him.
This is entirely possible.
Between the vassal king and the local government, who has the upper hand depends on the emperor's thoughts.
If the emperor wants a good reputation and a reputation of harmony among the royal family, he will suppress local bureaucrats.
On the contrary, if the emperor dislikes a certain vassal king, the local officials will make various deductions, which can starve people in the vassal king's family to death.
If the feudal king dares not to give in, he will be accused of treason.
By then, there will be no way to survive.
So Zhu Di rebelled and fully showed his forced side to the clan, which is why there are so many neutrals.
But now, facing the threat of the man in black, the third prince has quickly stepped down from the throne.
He wanted to leave the hall quickly, but he was too fat and couldn't move around easily.
A few guards helped him hide behind.
Fortunately, the man in black walked slowly and unhurriedly.
It’s just that every move will kill one person.
The morale of the guards is considered high.
It can still withstand it.
Otherwise, in the middle and late stages of the dynasty, even the palace guards would not behave actively when facing assassins, and they would hide whenever they could.
This is what the Qing Dynasty was like.
And now there are dozens of eunuchs, one after another, stepping forward to block the man in black.
However, the man in black just takes one step and kills one person.
At first, he speeded up a little and headed towards the emperor.
But as everyone panicked and the emperor fled, his speed slowed down again.
He killed one person with every step he took, and kept chasing the emperor slowly.
Everyone was suddenly shocked, frightened and angry.
“This is, this is a monster!”
Some ministers couldn't help but said.
The ministers fled away one after another.
There was a military commander wearing inner armor.
Because you cannot hold a sword during the ceremony.
He chose to step forward and fight the man in black with his bare hands.
However, he fought with bare hands and within a single move, the opponent leaned directly into his arms, grabbed him, and disemboweled him. A long-established military commander in his prime fell for no reason.
At this time.
The third prince has already fled to the back of the palace, and is about to escape through the back door.
While the eldest prince was hiding in the corner, he watched the man in black killing everyone.
He couldn't help but laugh inwardly.
【Very good, very good, kill me quickly! 】
【What I can’t get, others can’t even imagine! 】
At this moment, no one finally dared to resist.
After all, the opponent cannot be killed at all.
How high could the morale of soldiers in the feudal era be?
When the bravest group died first, the seemingly majestic and sacred ceremony became vulnerable.
The man in black continued to kill the third prince.
The third prince continued to run.
For the first time in his life, he hated himself. Why was he so fat?
Obviously the man in black walked very slowly.
That’s about three steps per second and one meter per step.
This can be said to be very slow.
After all, normal people can run 100 meters within 20 seconds with no problem at all.
That’s a speed of 5 meters per second.
But the problem with the third prince is that he can't even walk three meters per second.
Walking basically relies on support and movement.
Fortunately, several eunuchs were loyal and supported him, pushed him, and dragged him, and finally left the palace hall.
Then the third prince opened a secret passage on the wall of a side hall and tried to escape.
However, the man in black also got into the secret passage.
Those walls couldn't stop him.
At this time, the third prince drew a new picture while walking.
The content of the new painting is that a thunder fell from the sky and directly killed the man in black.
However, the result was that thunder did fall from the sky.
However, it didn't hit anything, it just cracked their main hall directly.
Then the man in black finally came to the third prince.
Just when the man in black was about to reach out, the third prince suddenly said:
"Wait, don't kill me, I will give you everything you need."
At this time, when the man in black heard this, he smiled slightly, and then said:
"Yes, as long as you bring me 10,000 people as sacrifices, I will let you live."< br>
Ten thousand people?
The third prince was shocked, this is too cheap!
He thought it would be really difficult to kill a million people.
Even if the emperor wanted to kill millions of people in peacetime, it would be difficult for him to do so.
Careful planning is required, usually involving side affairs in border areas.
And for a mere 10,000 people, all it takes is one bandit suppressor.
So he decisively agreed: "Okay, I can sacrifice ten thousand people to you."
Hearing this, the man in black disappeared in front of his eyes.
Wen Rensheng was speechless when he saw this.
Good guy, this so-called weirdness is also deceiving people.
At this time, the eldest prince was still waiting happily for the death of the new emperor, and he hurriedly ascended the throne in order.
After all, in his heart, he is the emperor.
When the current emperor dies, it will naturally belong to him.
However, in the afternoon, the emperor reconvened the ministers, and the prince went to court.
The eldest prince was immediately furious. He didn’t succeed?
How is this possible?
According to the scene I saw before, the man in black killed the emperor, just like a man killing a chicken!
Then after going to court, he returned home.
Started to curse.
“Asshole, I was cheated!”
Not long after, the man in black appeared in his shadow.
The eldest prince immediately glared:
“Why, why didn’t you complete my task!”
“Sorry, the price offered by the other party is higher than yours.”
"Damn it, you monster can't do this. You have to be trustworthy."
"Haha, since you know I'm a monster, what credibility do you have?" The man in black mocked, "Not to mention you haven't paid me yet?"
"Nonsense, I've obviously killed him. Hundreds of people will sacrifice for you!" the eldest prince said angrily.
"Hahaha, I didn't say that a hundred people would be enough." The man in black laughed,
"I'm weird, and it's normal for me to go back on my word, right?"
The eldest prince looked at the faceless face of the man in black, his smile was like his skin was crawling, and he suddenly became afraid.
He didn't expect that after working so hard, he didn't succeed in the end.
"You, what do you want?"
"Nothing, next time you want to drive me, prepare more sacrifices." After the man in black finished speaking, he left.
The eldest prince breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the other party did not kill him.
Afterwards, the eldest prince quickly ordered people to find the charlatans, alchemists, Taoist monks...
At this moment.
The third prince is also worried.
He originally thought that through plug-ins, he could change the world to become more and more magical.
He can also become more and more powerful from it.
The result was that he shot himself in the foot.
The world is beginning to have demons, but the result is weird.
It is the kind of demonic world that most people hate the most.
In other demonic worlds, smart people and geniuses can gain extraordinary power, live longer, and allow individuals to break the upper limit of the demon-free world.
In this weird world, smart people and geniuses die quickly.
Because they find weird places easily.
Then the third prince then thought of a way to slaughter several cottages and several nearby villages in the name of suppressing bandits, and gathered together 10,000 people for sacrifice.
Finally satisfied the man in black and stopped chasing him.
However, within the next few months, demons began to dance wildly.
The third prince was in a very embarrassed state.
Ministers wrote letters one after another.
Something strange happened here today, and something strange happened there tomorrow.
He originally wanted to quickly clean up the forces of the eldest prince and the second prince.
As a result, now he has no time to clean up at all.
He doesn't have the energy or thought at all.
Moreover, in the seemingly majestic palace hall, strange spirits of innocent people appear everywhere.
It made him unable to sleep well day and night.
I had no choice but to leave the palace temporarily and return to my original mansion so that I could sleep well.
Now he finally understands that for ordinary people, not being weird is a good thing.
Being weird is a bad thing.
He never imagined that after working so hard for so long, he would end up shooting himself in the foot.
If he had not ascended to the throne through painting, he could have become a wealthy prince who lived a long life.
No matter which prince comes to power, he will not target his disabled brother.
It will not cause so many messy things.
Now he has no peace of mind when sleeping every day, and feels the noise of the wind all the time.
And that day, another group of monsters came to find him in the middle of the night.
"What are you doing here? I am the emperor, don't come over!" The third prince huddled in bed.
"We are the people who drowned in floods a few years ago." The leading monster said, floating outside his quilt.
The third prince did not call for help in vain, because he knew that outsiders could not hear him.
This is the ability of monsters. Isolating sound is a basic operation.
