Year 998 of the Great Qian calendar.
The old Emperor Yuan Emperor had passed away.
Before he died, he passed down an imperial edict, and the youngest prince, Yang Shiyu, ascended the throne.
Yang Shiyu had successfully ascended the throne and was known as Emperor Qian.
The current prime minister, who was known as the 'Yama of the Human World', was dying.
Without the intimidation of the old emperor and the prime minister, undercurrents surged across the world!
"Heh, that vicious and merciless prime minister who easily plundered and exterminated his family is finally going to die!”
"This is really satisfying!"
"This unpardonable demon has finally received his retribution!”
"This person is extremely powerful. Even when the late emperor was alive, he didn't dare to act rashly.”
"Fortunately, this person is seriously ill and will definitely die. Otherwise, the new emperor will probably be so worried that he won't be able to sleep…"
"Other than the Prime Minister, the current situation in Da Qian is not peaceful either.”
"Emperor Qian is still young. I wonder if he can stabilize the situation?”
"In the royal court, cliques are forming, and the vassal kings are restless…"
"As soon as Emperor Qian ascended to the throne, he immediately eliminated a few rebels. He was swift and decisive, just like the former emperor!”
……
The Prime Minister's residence.
In the master bedroom of a luxurious palace.
A young man was lying on a couch.
No one would have thought that this seemingly refined young man was actually the illustrious prime minister of the current dynasty, Yan Luo!
At the age of twenty-eight, his power was overwhelming.
Because of his decisiveness and ruthlessness, he had the title of Yama.
However…
At this moment, the legendary prime minister who made the world pale at the mention of him was lying on the bed, his face pale and his breath weak.
He looked sickly, as if he was seriously ill and on the verge of death.
" In the blink of an eye, it's been more than twenty years since I transmigrated to this world…"
Yan Luo muttered to himself.
It turned out that he was not from this world.
Instead, he had transmigrated from the Blue Planet.
This was a foreign world where empires stood everywhere and martial arts experts ran amok.
When Yan Luo transmigrated, he was born into an ordinary family and could be said to be a commoner.
With the wisdom of two lifetimes and the help of the system, he advanced triumphantly.
When he was in his twenties, he became the Prime Minister of the Great Qian Empire.
He became the youngest prime minister in the history of the Great Qian Empire and could be considered a legend.
It could be said that he was below one person and above ten thousand people!
At this moment.
A respectful and hurried voice came from outside the door."Prime Minister, I have something to report.”
"Come in."
Yan Luo's weak and calm voice was almost inaudible.
Then, a man in a black suit walked in quickly.
This person was one of Yan Luo's trusted subordinates and was responsible for delivering important information.
After entering, the man in black quickly said,
"Milord, the new emperor has successfully ascended the throne and is attending court today!”
"At this moment, the civil and military officials have already gathered in the Xuanzheng Hall!”
Yan Luo's eyes lit up.
"Oh?"
"This new emperor is quite anxious. Why is he so eager to control the government?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Luo slowly got up from the bed. His pale face gradually regained its color.
A formless aura condensed, like a deep prison, imposing without anger!
The black-robed man could not help but take a step back, his face filled with horror!
"Sir, you…"
In his opinion, the Prime Minister was clearly seriously ill and dying. How did he suddenly come back to life?
Could it be that he was dying?
"I'm fine."
Yan Luo waved his hand.
"But those imperial physicians all said…"
The black-robed man was still in disbelief.
"Are you saying that I will die?"
"Haha…"
Yan Luo laughed lightly, his eyes filled with disdain.
"With their little ability, how can they guess my methods?”
"Alright, let's not talk about this matter for now."
"Go and inform the others that I will be attending court today!”
Yan Luo's eyes flickered.
"Your subordinate will obey…"
The man in black did not ask further.
He knew that he shouldn't ask anything he shouldn't.
However, the shock and respect in the depths of his eyes became even stronger.
Although he had followed this prime minister for many years, even his trusted aide could not imagine the other party's methods!
The black-robed man immediately left.
After he left, Yan Luo snorted.
"Hmph, how can we hide from that old fellow if we don't play dead?”
The old man he was talking about was naturally the late emperor.
Before the old emperor passed away, in order to pave the way for the new emperor, he had eliminated many of his henchmen.
As the prime minister who had power in the court, the old emperor was even more afraid of Yan Luo!
His people would either die or be demoted.
The old Emperor did not even intend to let him off.
Therefore, Yan Luo had no choice but to play dead to deceive everyone.
Of course, playing dead was also a skill!
It was not just based on acting skills.
Yan Luo had also relied on the Pseudo-death Pill rewarded by the system to turn him into a person on the verge of death. That was how he managed to hide it from everyone.
No matter how the imperial physicians examined him, it was useless.
"The products of the system must be of the best quality.”
" It's a pity that it's a Powerful Official System…"
Yan Luo sighed silently.
In the Powerful Official System, the more powerful one was, the higher the rewards he would receive. That was why he did not rebel previously and could only aim to become a powerful official.
Now that the late emperor had passed away, there was no need for him to continue pretending to be sick.
Otherwise, the forces under his command and the power in his hands would really be gradually weakened.
……
Xuanzheng Hall.
At this moment, all the officials were gathered, their expressions solemn and solemn.
However, there was a strange glint in the eyes of many ministers.
Before the late emperor passed away, he killed and weakened a few truly powerful officials.
The royal court had almost gone through a reshuffle.
Now that the new emperor had ascended the throne, his foundation was unstable. It was the best time to fight for power!
However, this new emperor did not seem to be a good person.
He had just ascended the throne and had already killed a few rebels. He had displayed a thunderous method and had the feeling of killing the chicken to warn the monkeys!
Just as everyone was having different thoughts.
"The Emperor has arrived!" a eunuch shouted.”
In the next moment.
Everyone saw a slender, fair-skinned youth wearing a dragon robe walk in.
This young man was the new emperor of Great Qian Dynasty, Emperor Qian!
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"Long live, long live, long live!"
All the civil and military officials shouted in unison.
Emperor Qian waved his hand and his cold voice resounded throughout the hall.
"Everyone, please rise."
"Today is my first time attending court.”
Emperor Qian looked like a delicate young man, but as his voice rang out, a cold aura spread throughout the entire place.
Everyone's hearts trembled!
"Emperor Qian is so young, but his martial arts cultivation is so profound?”
"Such an imposing manner…You plan to establish your prestige in front of us on the first day of court?”
At the thought of this, the ministers smiled and complimented him.
"Your Majesty is kind-hearted and must be a virtuous ruler of a generation!”
"I believe that under Your Majesty's rule, Great Qian Empire will prosper even more!”
"Do you have anything important to report?”
Emperor Qian swept his cold eyes across the ministers, looking like an experienced and prudent man.
He knew that there were still many 'old foxes' in the imperial court. He had to give them a good warning today!
Compared to the current Prime Minister, no matter how cunning these officials were, they did not give him too much pressure.
At this moment, an official suddenly said,"
"Your Majesty, a country cannot live without a ruler, and the court cannot live without a prime minister.”
As soon as he said that, the entire place fell silent!
Everyone's eyes were focused on the minister.
This official was Zheng Qiancheng, a doctor from the Ministry of Personnel. He was a Fifth Rank official.
Although he wasn't an important official, his words had undoubtedly caused a huge commotion!
Especially the words 'prime minister' that affected everyone's mind!
There might be people in the entire Da Qian who did not know who the new emperor was.
However, when it came to the prime minister, everyone knew about him!
'Kill 100,000 Confucians',' Destroy the entire Buddhist sect','Refuse the enemy to surrender and order the massacre of the city'…
Although this prime minister was in the royal court, he had committed many earth-shattering massacres!
Sometimes, his orders were even more terrifying than the imperial edict of the late emperor, like the death god's death warrant!
It had been a long time since an official dared to mention the Prime Minister's name in a court meeting.
He didn't expect that someone would dare to mention it today.
"The Prime Minister has been bedridden for many days and will not be attending court for a long time!”
"Many imperial physicians have asserted that he will not live for more than a month!”
"The one month deadline is up…"
"The position of Prime Minister will soon be vacant!”
"However, the Prime Minister has not truly passed away. Could it be that Zheng Qiancheng, a small official, is not afraid of other authority?”
"Looks like there's someone behind this! He was clearly coveting the position of Prime Minister! Which important official was so ambitious?？”
Various thoughts flashed through the minds of the ministers.
"Doctor of the Ministry of Personnel, continue."
A strange look flashed across Emperor Qian's eyes.
The current prime minister could be said to be his greatest worry. Fortunately, the late emperor had already weakened his influence.
Moreover, this person was terminally ill and there was nothing he could do to save him. Otherwise, with his ability, he would probably have trouble sleeping and eating!
However, the position of prime minister was about to be vacant, so he had to firmly control it!
"Your Majesty, as everyone knows, the Prime Minister is terminally ill and is no different from a dead man.”
"Moreover, he hasn't attended court for many days, and he can't handle many court affairs.”
"Now that His Majesty has just ascended the throne, it is time to stabilize the government!”
"This humble subject believes that a new prime minister should be appointed as soon as possible to assist Your Majesty!”
Zheng Qiancheng's words were powerful.
However, just as he finished speaking, a eunuch's sharp voice came from outside,"
"The Prime Minister has arrived!"
Instantly, everyone was shocked!
