Nagato has a thin waist

"Here..."

Custodes should be.

The ministers were silent.

Ruan Pu opened his mouth to say something, but was speechless.

Two lines of tears fell from the corners of Yuan Yue's eyes.

He is used to being pampered, and he is not very young. When has he ever seen such a battle?

Nervousness, fear, everything settled at this moment, and he actually cried with joy.

There are many bones on the dragon chair, and I don’t know how many people died tragically. He thought he could make a desperate move, but when faced with a death crisis, he discovered that survival is his instinct.

Confinement means confinement, at least there is still life...

"Thank you, Your Majesty..."

Yuan Yue was taken down.

The footsteps dragged on the blue bricks and stones, making a frightening dull sound. Slowly, they dragged him away from the dragon chair that was only one step away...

No one spoke in Zhenghe Hall.

No one even asked more questions about how Yuan Yue persuaded the palace officials to open the windows, and how he caused the wind and cold to worsen and lead to his death...

Because that's not important.

It doesn't matter whether Yuan Yue did it or not, and what the truth is.

Here is the most powerful power in the world.

But it is the most unreasonable place in the world...

It talks about power and soldiers, who can cover up the sky with one hand and turn a deer into a horse.

There is no courtier here who is not a human being, and there is no one who is not familiar with history. The replacement of thrones in ancient and modern times is nothing more than this, let alone the current troubled times...

Pei Madang pacified the Western Fan, established the Northern Territory, recovered Yecheng, destroyed the warlords' separatist regimes, captured and merged the prefectures, and gained Xinyi. He achieved great military success and held power in his hands.

but……

At this time, he was obviously unable and inconvenient to replace the Jin Dynasty and establish himself as emperor.

In the context of the sect being the most respected, if you can't block the opinions of the people, there will be countless voices of opposition, and if you can't win over the high-ranking nobles, if he sits on the throne of the Nine-Fiveth Supreme, it will inevitably lead to greater turmoil...

That's definitely not what he wants.

What he wants is...

Establish authority.

Suppress.

Test...

Eliminate dissidents and establish absolute authority...

Step by step, he stepped on the bottom line of the Jin clan.

He built up the new party, fought against the old party, and shook the foundation of the family.

He valued talents rather than family status, and vigorously promoted children from poor families and low-level common people, with the purpose of dismantling family politics...

Today he punished a prince based on his mood, and no one dared to say a word.

Tomorrow he would find another excuse to kill a prince, and no one would be able to object.

So……

For him, there would no longer be the word "no" in this court.

At that time, when he does whatever he wants, the change of dynasty will be a matter of course, and there will no longer be any stain or criticism.

There was complete silence in Zhenghe Hall.

Everyone was convinced that they understood Pei Man's thoughts——

But he didn't know what he was going to do next.

Ruan Pu was angry and resentful.

Qi Yuanyue couldn't control his anger and hated Pei Madang for being cunning and cruel.

But things have come to this, the plan has failed, and the drama has to go on.

Even if they are struggling to the death, they still have to struggle. They cannot let Pei Mad lead the way and watch their ancestral foundation be destroyed in one day. They can also watch the poor people from a humble family grow step by step under Pei Mad's support. One day Climbing on the heads of wealthy nobles to shit...

Ruan Pu exchanged glances with several of his comrades, cleared his throat, and cupped his hands and said, "I didn't think well and didn't know that Prince Zhuang Xian made such omissions. Fortunately, the prince was aware of everything, so he didn't spoil the big thing."

He looked up at Pei Madang again and said righteously:

"Since Prince Zhuangxian is useless, we can only look for someone else..."

"There's no need to look for it." Pei Madang interrupted him and said in a neutral tone: "I think King Zhuang Xian is very good."

The ministers were in an uproar.

The courtiers who had just realized that they had read Pei Mad's thoughts were unexpectedly surprised, including Ruan Pu himself. They forgot to react for a while and just looked at Pei Mad in a daze, wondering if they had heard wrongly.

Pei Ran said: "Ye City has been restored, and King Zhuang Xian is supervising the troops in front of the battle array. He is courageous and knowledgeable, which shows his talent. With the honor of the emperor's uncle, he can inherit the great power and bring peace to the world."

Not a proposal.

Not even for discussion.

But inform.

Ruan Pu's cheeks were burning.

King Zhuang Xian is the younger brother of the eldest princess. If he becomes emperor, it will be a blessing to the old party, and everyone will be happy.

But Ruan Pu seemed to have been slapped hard by Pei Madang.

Beaten thoroughly.

The dignity was wiped out.

Pei Madang didn't squint his eyes and didn't look at him at all. He just said: "Let's do it. From now on, all the princes should work together to defend the palace and protect the country of Jin."

All the ministers said in unison, "Yes."

Pei Madang put his palms on the armrests and stood up slowly.

"It's gone."

Without waiting for anyone to respond, he walked coldly through the middle of the hall and left decisively. Just like when he came, he stepped on all the rules.

As soon as Pei Ran left, the originally solemn hall suddenly became lively.

A group of people gathered around Ao Zheng and inquired about Pei Madang's thoughts.

But what does Ao Zheng know?

He was also baffled...

When Pei Madang deposed Yuan Yue as the crown prince, his heart was beating wildly, his blood was flowing backwards, and his whole body had begun to swell. He thought that the next sentence would be earth-shattering, that the Jin Dynasty would no longer be named Yuan...

Who knows...

Pei Madang kept silent and promoted Zhuangxian Wang Yuanyin.

He sighed, shook his head and walked out.

On the other side, several old party courtiers were also following Ruan Pu. They were at a loss and looking through the fog. The two-foot-tall monk was confused...

"King Yonghuai's move is really unpredictable."

"Could it be that we misunderstood his intention?"

Ruan Pu snorted heavily, "You worry too much. The reason why he killed the son and kept the father is that King Zhuangxian is soft-hearted and easy to manipulate... He also killed our right to assist in the administration."

"This..."

Everyone hesitated, thought about it, and nodded again.

Just based on Pei Cong's comments to King Zhuangxian in Zhenghe Hall, it was known that it was not from his heart.

Who doesn't know that King Zhuangxian was forced to go to the battlefield in the battle to recapture Yecheng? Moreover, he was called the Grand Marshal of the Anti-Rebellion Army and was responsible for supervising the army, but he had no tiger seal and no power to mobilize troops. He was purely a decoration.

Not only that, King Zhuangxian was timid and afraid of things. He hid in the camp all day long, which was far from what Pei Cong said about "courage and knowledge"...

This was simply a joke.

In short, whether it was Yuan Yue or Yuan Yin, in Pei Cong's eyes, there was actually no difference. Pei Cong just wanted absolute authority...

Who would decide the emperor's choice?

It was him, not Ruan Pu or the Grand Princess.

"What's wrong with that?" The Grand Princess was feeding her newly acquired parrot in the courtyard when she got the news.

The parrot held a grain of millet in its sharp beak and ate it deliciously.

The smile on the Grand Princess's face has never changed.

"It doesn't matter who said it. What's important is that my brother will be the emperor of the Jin Dynasty in the future."

Ruan Pu frowned, "Your Highness, have you ever thought about who the new emperor will be controlled by after he ascends the throne?"

The Grand Princess held the bird food in her hand, turned her head and looked over, and asked with a smile: "If Pei Cong does not support King Zhuangxian today, what will you do?"

Ruan Pu was speechless for a moment.

According to the atmosphere in the hall, let alone whoever Pei Cong pointed at, even if Pei Cong turned around and sat on the dragon throne, I'm afraid... except for him, no one else dared to say a word.

"Be content." The eldest princess turned her head, threw the bird food on the cage, and said slowly: "After all, we have left time and opportunities for you and me. Why not take a long-term view?"

Ruan Pu took a deep breath and bowed his head.

"Your Highness is right."

The eldest princess chuckled and turned to look at him.

"Stay today."

Ruan Pu was silent and looked at her.

After a long time, the eldest princess sighed.

"You are not young anymore, take a break. Why are you so stubborn?"

Ruan Pu looked at her, "Your Highness, who am I doing this for?"

The eldest princess remained silent.

After a long moment, she took out a handkerchief to wipe the corner of her lips and smiled: "Pingyuan and Xingsu are back from Andu. There is a family banquet in the mansion. You haven't seen Aqing for a long time. Stay. You and your daughter can talk and reminisce about family life."

As she spoke, she approached and stood in front of Ruan Pu. She looked at him for a moment and then passed by.

Ruan Pu turned his head, looked at her back, and sighed.

"How dare you disobey my order."
