Chapter 517 Ascension to the throne [asking for monthly votes! ]

In the decades that followed, the two young men, who also came from prominent family backgrounds but had the ambition to save the country, took the imperial examinations together, rose to prominence together, and eventually became both prime ministers.

You kill people, and I stay out of the spotlight.

You kill people, and I clean up the mess.

You kill people, I take care of government affairs...

In comparison, what Liang Fuguo did was more pure, just killing people.

Song Zhili has a lot to consider.

He was in the Xishan Society, and as Liang Fuguo said, the people in it still considered their own interests more. They gathered court officials under the banner of supporting the world, but secretly they were still forming cliques for personal gain.

This was also thanks to the purge by Emperor Mu Bei, which purged a large number of members of the Xishan Society in the court, and Song Zhili came to power from then on.

On the one hand, he was developing the power of the Xishan Society, and on the other hand, he was balancing his relationship with Liang Fuguo.

It cannot really harm Liang Fuguo, nor can it let people see that they have an ambiguous relationship.

Emperor Mu Bei would never allow the left and right prime ministers to wear the same pants.

As Liang Fuguo eliminated more and more important officials in the court, Song Zhili had to stand up and stand against him, otherwise he would not be able to deceive people. However, the fight was just a lot of noise but little action. After Liang Fuguo was released from prison, he relaxed his offensive against the right prime minister and took control of the Ministry of War.

The situation in the court seems complicated, but if you look closely, you will find that every step is to concentrate power in the hands of two people.

It’s just that Liang Fuguo was showing his talent, while Song Zhili was secretly attacking Chencang.

Finally, Liang Fuguo aroused the fear of Emperor Mubei and was ordered to enter the palace today.

He overcame all obstacles and left with all the criticism, and after the chaos, Song Zhili became the one who stepped forward to take charge of the situation.

As soon as I thought of this, I stopped abruptly.

The officials climbed the stairs, and when they were about to step over the last step, they saw a figure standing in front of the threshold of the hall.

The chief eunuch Cao Wujiu stood blankly outside the door, his eyes empty, for a long time. Behind him stood two rows of imperial guards, surrounding him and hesitating to move forward.

They were ordered to arrest Cao Wujiu, but the old eunuch did not resist or follow them, but just stood there and looked into the distance. Cao Wujiu's martial arts skills were not low, and he also controlled the Drinking Horse Prison, and he was always famous.

The imperial guards did not dare to take anyone by force, and have been staying here until now.

"Eunuch Cao." Song Zhili said calmly, "It's time for you to get going."

Cao Wujiu's eyes were focused on Song Zhili's face. "Right Prime Minister, where is His Majesty now?"

"Your Majesty's coffin is at the Tongtian Tower and will be sent to Taihuang Mountain later." Song Zhili replied, "There are chaos in both places now, so we are not moving them lightly."

"I would like to visit Your Majesty. Would the Right Prime Minister allow me to do so?" Cao Wujiu said.

"Eunuch Cao will go to the Ministry of Justice for trial first. After the results are out, considering that you have served His Majesty for many years, you can be allowed." Song Zhili nodded.

"I understand." Cao Wujiu nodded. "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. It has been like this since ancient times. Your Majesty will eventually..."

Before he could finish his words, he followed the imperial guards.

Song Zhili had at least seven or eight great generals behind him, waiting to kill Cao Wujiu if he showed any sign of rebellion. The military generals were usually closely watched by the horse-drinking supervisors, and they hated these eunuchs the most.

Unfortunately, Cao Wujiu was very tactful and didn't struggle anymore.

He had already felt something was wrong when Liang Fuguo escaped. When the news of Emperor Mu Bei's death came, the old eunuch was completely desperate and all he wanted was to see the emperor again.

Since Song Zhili threatened him with this, of course he could get whatever he wanted.

When the time comes, I will take all the blame on myself, which will not damage the reputation of Your Majesty. It can also be regarded as the last thing I can do for Your Majesty.

The old eunuch left dejectedly, and his once straight back now bent, as if he had suddenly aged by dozens of years.

After Cao Wujiu made way, Song Zhili led the crowd into the hall in front. The three princes with the blood of the God King were among them, and there were several concubines taking care of them. They all looked panicked. "Your Highness." Song Zhili stepped forward and bowed deeply to the prince who looked hesitant. "The country is in danger and chaos, and we cannot do without a king. I and all the officials ask Your Highness to ascend the throne tomorrow and set the government as soon as possible!"

"I..." Faced with this scene, the prince was at a loss. He looked back at Hu Delu, then at Xu Zhan'ao in the crowd, feeling that it was a little sudden.

Am I going to be the emperor now?

He was just at a loss, and the Sixth Prince around him completely collapsed.

I had originally been thinking that if Song Zhili wanted to be a powerful official, would it be possible for him to support a puppet emperor who came to power illegitimately - such as myself.

Now it seems that there is no hope at all.

Now that the prince has ascended the throne, won't he bully me just like I bullied him before?
For a moment, the Sixth Prince burst into tears, and his crying was so tragic as if his father had just died.

……

Liang Yue took his sister home and settled her down. He checked her again but still couldn't find any problems.

The mystic's work is too delicate. He is just one of the less rough warriors, but still a little rough in comparison.

We had no choice but to wait for Xuanyuan XIV to come over.

At this moment, Liang Yue also counted his gains.

In addition to comprehending the sword of Mo Chaotianque, the most important thing is that he got two more Nine Secret Books!
The fragment of the word "Lie" had always been on him, and he had never noticed it before. The fragment of the word "Jie" that exploded from Bei Luo Shimen's body was also a big surprise.

Now Liang Yue has six fragments of the Heavenly Book on his body: "Lin, Dou, Zhe, Jie, Zhen, Lie."

This made him feel excited. Could it be that...

When there were one, two, and three, he didn’t dare to think about it. When there were four, he didn’t dare to think about it either. But now there are six!

There is also a seventh photo that can be confirmed to be with Chou Tanhua, and the locations of only two photos are unknown.

Is it possible to collect all nine secrets in one’s lifetime?
When you obtain the power of creation, you can truly be on par with the gods.

The more he thought about it, the faster his heart beat. Liang Yue quickly calmed himself down. This kind of thing is like playing mahjong. When the cards are in your favor, everything will go well. But if the cards are not in your favor, the last card can suffocate you to death.

So Liang Yue calmed down and stopped worrying about it.

Of course I will try to find it in the future, but if I can't find it, I won't be upset. As long as I can comprehend the two new cards, it will be a great help.

As he was combing his hair, news came from the palace that the prince wanted to see him.

"Huh?" This surprised Liang Yue.

This should be the last day for the crown prince to be the crown prince. He will become the emperor after he ascends the throne tomorrow. He should be busy with many things now. Why is he looking for me at this time?
To be fair, he actually didn't really want to meet the prince.

After all, he had just killed someone's father.

Although Emperor Mu Bei deserved to die, the prince had always been his good friend, so he couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

But since the prince had called him, he couldn't just ignore him. Liang Peng came back at this time, so Liang Yue asked his brother to look after the house and he set off to the palace.

As soon as he arrived at the East Palace and entered the main hall, the prince immediately pulled him over to sit down.

"Liang Yue!" The prince looked unhappy, his face tense, "I will be the emperor tomorrow!"

"Congratulations, Your Highness." Liang Yue congratulated him, "Tomorrow you will be able to inherit the late emperor's legacy and embark on the path of a wise ruler."

Then, the prince said in a very proud manner, "After that, I plan to confer upon you the titles of Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, Minister of the Clouds, Grand Secretary of the Wen'antang, General of the Wu'antang, Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and Commander of the Imperial City Guard..."

Before he could finish, Liang Yue grabbed the prince's hand and said, "Your Highness, are we not going to pass it?"
