Ji Mingyue lowered her head.
A string of pearls hung down from the crown, covering her angry eyes.
He had never been so angry before.
Ever since he ascended the throne, his lust for pleasure and indulgence were all illusions.
In fact, he had great ambitions.
However, he knew that the more outstanding he performed, the more he would be targeted.
Only by acting muddle-headed could they numb the immortal sects and secretly accumulate strength.
But today, he made a sad discovery.
He was still too naive. No matter how muddle-headed he was, the immortal sect would not slow down his pace of destroying the Great Zhou.
He was giving in everywhere, but in return, he was being aggressive.
Secretly accumulating power might cause the ship to capsize before the power was fully accumulated.
Now, the Great Zhou had already lost six of the nine states in the world. If a seventh country was established, its fate would definitely be greatly lost.
If they were lucky, the morale of the army and the people would fall to the bottom, and the prestige of the Great Zhou would fall to the ground.
If they were unlucky, the fate of the country might be shattered because of this!
Once the fate of the country was shattered, the world would be in chaos.
At that time, he would also lose his rightful position.
Without the protection of the country's fate, it would be easy for the immortal sects to kill him.
"I have nowhere to retreat!"
Ji Mingyue's figure was thin, and her loose dragon robe covered her thin body. Her slender and snow-white fingers were tangled in her sleeves.
He absolutely could not agree!
Although establishing a seventh nation might not necessarily shatter the nation's fate, he could not gamble with it!
Ever since she ascended the throne, Ji Mingyue, who had always been obedient, made a sound that went against the will of the immortal sect for the first time.
"What if I don't want to?"
Everyone was shocked.
Zhu Tianlin raised his eyebrows and his eyes turned cold.
"Your Majesty is unwilling?"
Ji Mingyue's acting skills were very good. For many years, she was as docile as a sheep and successfully deceived the world.
Zhu Tianlin was naturally the same. He did not expect Ji Mingyue to actually dare to reject!
"Although the Li family of Jin Yang has some achievements, it's clearly not enough to make him king. If he's made king, how can the world agree?”
Ji Mingyue didn't want to fall out with him, so she found a reason to refute him.
"The people of the world?"
Zhu Tianlin sneered.
"Who are the people of the world that Your Majesty is referring to?”
Without waiting for Ji Mingyue's reply, he stood up and hugged the horsetail whisk in an arrogant manner.
"If it's a celestial sect, then my will is the will of a celestial sect!”
Ji Mingyue gritted her teeth.
"The Celestial Gate cannot represent the people of the world!"
Zhu Tianlin smiled disdainfully.
"If the Celestial Gate cannot represent the people of the world, then who can? Nobles, or civil and military officials?”
His cold eyes swept across everyone in the court.
All the officials shivered and fell to their knees.
"The Li family of Jin Yang has outstanding achievements and should be conferred the title of king. We have no objections!”
"The Li family of Jin Yang has outstanding achievements and should be conferred the title of king. We have no objections!”
"The Li family of Jin Yang has outstanding achievements and should be conferred the title of king. We have no objections!”
……
As if they had rehearsed it, their voices were uniform and they kept shouting.
The six kings also cupped their hands in agreement.
In the entire court, not a single person stood on the Emperor's side.
Ji Mingyue, who was sitting on the dragon throne, felt endless coldness and despair at this moment.
Her face was pale, and her heart was filled with anger and sorrow.
"I should share the burden of the monarch. Do you know what the way of being a subject is?”
Could it be that the Great Zhou that had lasted for ten thousand years had really come to an end?
Strong enemies surrounded them on the outside, but they were divided on the inside.
Words could not describe Ji Mingyue's emotions at this moment.
He was already on the verge of collapse, so much so that his voice was sharp, like a woman's.
"Damn it, traitors, not a single one of them has a backbone!”
Li Qing gritted his teeth in anger.
Wang Ying saw that he was blushing and knew that he was really angry, so he asked curiously.
"The Son of Heaven has been in power for so many years. Don't tell me he doesn't have many trusted aides? Not a single one of the officials in the court spoke up for him. Wasn't he a failure?”
When Li Qing heard that, he was even more furious.
"The Son of Heaven naturally has people close to him, and the treacherous minister Liu Shen is one of them!”
Wang Ying raised his eyebrows.
"A traitor?"
Li Qing fiercely nodded and said fiercely.
"The Emperor was muddle-headed and was deceived by this treacherous minister. He plundered the people everywhere, embezzled and corrupted, and deceived the emperor. Who knows how many people have submitted a petition to punish him, but His Majesty is very fond of him…Who would have thought that when he saw the critical situation today, he actually did not come to court because of illness?”
Wang Ying understood.
He understood now. He saw that the situation was not good and fled first.
However, this was normal. After all, treacherous officials would definitely run as far away as possible when they encountered danger.
However, it did not matter if they did not come to court, but the little Emperor would be in trouble.
How could a lone wolf fight against an immortal sect?
"Your Majesty, what else do you have to say?"
Zhu Tianlin's eyes were filled with disdain.
All the civil and military officials?
High officials and nobles?
They were just ants!
In front of the Celestial Gate, who would dare to be arrogant?
"You still can't represent the people of the world. The world belongs to the people of the world. Only the common people can represent the people of the world!”
Ji Mingyue refused to back down and tried to fight alone.
"What a joke! How many people were there in the world? Should he ask for their opinions one by one?”
Below the stage, Xiang Yun, the king of Chu, refuted.
"There's no need to ask. I've already sent people to Jinyang to collect the opinions of the local people.”
Ji Mingyue was already prepared. With a wave of her hand, a few eunuchs carried a thick book over.
"This is a 10,000-word letter written by the people of Jin Yang. There are even their fingerprints on it!”
"The Li family of Jinyang harmed and abused the people, embezzled fertile land, and forcefully snatched women. They committed all kinds of crimes, causing the people of Jinyang to live in misery!”
"All these things are recorded. How can such a person be worthy of being conferred the title of King?”
Ji Mingyue's words were powerful like thunder, causing everyone to freeze.
No one had expected that this fatuous ruler would actually silently make sufficient preparations in secret.
"Alright, let's see what else you have to say!”
When Li Qing saw this scene, he beat his chest and stamped his feet excitedly.
Everyone's frozen expressions made him feel very refreshed.
However, Wang Ying shook his head.
It was useless.
The truth of the world was all illusory.
There was only one method that was truly effective, and that was power.
If reasoning was useful, the Great Zhou would not have fallen to such a state.
Sure enough, after a short silence.
Cao Meng, the King of Wei, strode forward with his head held high and kicked the young eunuch who was carrying the book away.
Slash!
He drew the sword at his waist and slashed down.
The sword actually emitted flames!
This was the magic sword bestowed upon him by the immortal sect.
The flames burned the Ten Thousand Words Book into ashes.
He held his sword, a sinister smile on his dark face.
"Unfortunately, there was an accidental fire. The 10,000-word book that His Majesty collected is gone!”
Accidental fire?
Ji Mingyue, who was sitting on the dragon throne, suddenly stood up.
"You!"
He stared at Cao Meng.
However, Cao Meng was not afraid at all. His eyes were full of provocation.
Ji Mingyue's chest heaved violently.
His gaze swept across the crowd. The numbness of the officials, the disdain of the six kings, and the arrogance of the Celestial Gate were like thorns that pierced his heart.
Today's matter was undoubtedly a great humiliation to the ruler.
But what could he do?
He couldn't say a complete sentence.
Because he realized that whatever he said might be useless.
"Your Majesty, please confer me the title of King."
Zhu Tianlin glanced at Cao Meng with admiration, coughed lightly, and said lazily.
"Your Majesty, please confer me the title of King!"
"Your Majesty, please confer me the title of King!"
"Your Majesty, please confer me the title of King!"
Everyone shouted in unison. Their voices were like thunder, and the aura that gathered surged over like waves.
Ji Mingyue seemed to have been pushed by a huge force as her body leaned back and she sat down.
Her eyes reddened.
This was too much of a bully!
The endless bitterness made him have the urge to cry.
"Traitor! Traitor…"
Li Qing was so angry that he kept muttering, and his body couldn't help but tremble.
What happened today had completely shattered his worldview.
The supreme king was actually humiliated like this!
In the vast Great Zhou, was there not a single upright person?
"His Majesty has acquiesced."
Cao Meng, the King of Wei, simply did not care about Ji Mingyue. He pressed his sword and turned his back to everyone.
"Prepare the decree!"
Immediately, someone sent the imperial edict over.
Cao Meng sneered and placed the imperial edict on his desk.
"Where is the seal officer? Hurry up and hand over the jade seal and ask Your Majesty to use it!”
Today's matter was clearly a foregone conclusion!
Next, there was only one last step left.
However, no one expected that there would be a problem with this last step.
From the side of the hall, a young official holding a wooden box came out. He had red lips and white teeth. He was about twenty years old and looked extremely handsome.
However, at this moment, his handsome face was filled with anger. Not only did he not hand over the jade seal, but he also tightly hugged the box in his arms and scolded sternly.
"Traitor! I swear I won't hand over the jade seal!"
