How could they guess the monarch's decision to kill or punish?

"Being a king is not easy. You have experienced all the hardships."

Zhang Beixing paced with his hands behind his back, a smile on his face.

"But I have given you this important task, not to overwhelm you."

"It is to hone you and make you into ministers who can shoulder great responsibilities!"

These words were extremely helpful to the two men, and their fighting spirit was instantly boosted.

"I will obey your orders and do my best to fulfill my mission!"

"I, your humble servant, will act with vigor and determination to help you build a peaceful country!"

Zhang Beixing nodded with satisfaction and glanced sideways.

Behind him, the persuasion system looked at this scene with a faint smile on his face.

"Senior, I am really not smart enough. Do you have any other ideas?"

Zhang Beixing asked respectfully, with a respectful and pious attitude.

The system slowly spoke after listening to the advice, shook its head and smiled:

"My disciple is talented and intelligent, and he is worthy of being called a great disciple."

"The world is so big, you have seen it yourself, and you have done a lot to improve yourself."

Zhang Beixing was stunned by the praise.

He never thought that he would hear such praise from his senior.

My heart is filled with mixed feelings.

"I am a foolish junior. If I have made any mistakes, please correct me!"

Zhang Beixing lowered his head humbly, but his heart was extremely determined.

He will be in charge of the world and will definitely be a wise and virtuous ruler!
Then he stood up, looked around at the civil and military officials in the hall, and acted like a king:

"I am now in power and I have the responsibility to manage state affairs."

"You palace officials are all highly respected and highly valued, but you still need to work hard again!"

"However, since I have been given the mandate of heaven, I must employ people based on their talents!"

These words were so powerful that they resounded through the sky.

After hearing this, everyone was in awe and convinced.

Only the late emperor had a face full of rage, gnashing his teeth and coughing up blood.

Once upon a time, he was the master who had the final say in this palace.

But now, they are all taken away by this greenhorn!

What a fucking shame!
However, Zhang Beixing obviously saw the resentment and hatred in the late emperor's heart.

He snorted coldly, his eyes gleaming:

"I should be cautious in deposing the emperor."

"Although the late emperor made mistakes, they were not unforgivable."

"Return his life to a free and easy life, so that he can live a long and healthy life!"

Hearing this, the late emperor was overjoyed.

I could not help but kneel down and kowtow, shedding tears of gratitude:

"Your Majesty is extremely kind and virtuous. I am grateful to you!"

Zhang Beixing smiled indifferently, as if he didn't take this hypocritical flattery seriously at all.

"Let's leave the court. I have something else to do."

As soon as he finished speaking, the late emperor was so excited that he almost lost his composure.

He dragged his legs and left the palace in a miserable state.

This emperor who once dominated the world eventually lost his integrity in his later years and lost his golden horses and jade palace.

Looking at the late emperor's back, Kiev suddenly felt something in his heart.

For some reason, he actually had a vague sense of foreboding about the fate of this former emperor.

It seemed that if the late emperor did not take any more precautions, he would probably end up in a miserable situation.

"Your Majesty, how should we deal with the late emperor?"

Seeing Zhang Beixing's gloomy expression, Richard couldn't help but ask cautiously.

Zhang Beixing slowly turned around, his eyes gleaming with sharp light:
"The pardon has been issued, and I will not take it back."

"But if he dares to do it again, I will wipe out the roots!"

Everyone couldn't help but feel solemn after hearing this.

Sure enough, the newly-appointed monarch was still extremely majestic.

Seeing this, the persuasion system couldn't help but cough twice:

"Now that the imperial court has been stabilized, we should strengthen the foundation of the country."

"Zhang'er, give me a broad vision, and the important mission will be worthwhile!"

Zhang Beixing heard this and bowed:
"Disciple is waiting for your guidance!"

The listening system raised its head and howled, suppressing the roar of the whole audience:
"A country is based on its people, and the people are its priority!"

"When you first ascend the throne, you still need to start from the people's hearts."

"When attacking the four directions, we must first appease the people."

"The border is not yet completely open, and needs to be reorganized! A strong country is people-oriented."

The persuasion system spoke slowly and loudly.

"The border passes must not be abandoned."

"But I have my sights set on a more far-reaching plan, to reform the people's old customs, to build a strong country and cultivate people!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the civil and military officials in the court were stunned.

Do we want to reform the old customs and promote national education?
Wouldn't such an unprecedented move shake the foundation?
Even Richard and Elena looked at each other in surprise.

Zhang Beixing looked calm and was not shaken at all by the reactions of the crowd.

Instead, he slowly looked around, his voice echoing in the hall:
"Don't doubt me, my dear minister. I have a more far-reaching plan!"

"Since ancient times, the prosperity of a country has relied on the diligence of its subjects."

"Then the capital is so obsessed with luxury that I'm afraid it's impossible for them to be loyal to the country!"

When these words were spoken, countless civil and military officials were shocked.

They all realized that the new emperor was not an ordinary person.

It can be said that he has become so arrogant as soon as he ascended the throne that he looks down on all the heroes!

"My Lord, are you going to promote education and help the poor?"

A cautious minister finally plucked up the courage to ask.

"That's right!" Zhang Beixing changed the subject, his eyes firm.

"When I first ascend the throne, I will eliminate the accumulated abuses and reform the customs!"

"Only then can we make our country prosperous and strong, and maintain long-term peace and stability!"

Having said this, Zhang Beixing looked around and his tone became more resolute:
"My dear ministers, please remember that this is a national treasure."

"If there is any omission, I will be held accountable!"

"Yes, sir. I will obey your command!"

After hearing this, everyone felt their blood boiling.

When was it that they were the powerful people who only knew how to be greedy and enjoy themselves?
Now, he is inspired by the passion of the new emperor and is full of fighting spirit.

Even Elena and Richard felt an unprecedented excitement.

"My lord is wise! I am willing to serve you and do my best!"

The two spoke in unison, full of passion and ambition.

"Very good, my dear ministers, you have integrity." Zhang Beixing smiled slightly, his eyes full of doting.

The listening system behind him also nodded slightly, feeling very relieved.

He suddenly pointed with his hand, and the whole audience fell silent.

"Forget it. War is about to start, so we need to take precautions."

"I have something to say, I wonder if Zhang Er can accept it?"

"Senior, please teach me without doubt!" Zhang Beixing couldn't help but tilt his head slightly when he heard that.

The listening system looked solemn, with eyes full of weight:
"I am afraid that those who are willing to die will interfere with my plans."

"So, it is better to control the power of the government and the opposition first and check the powerful!"

These words made Zhang Beixing's face darken, and he was a little surprised.

But then he understood the senior's profound meaning.

"Senior, now that I have received your order, what should I do?" Zhang Beixing asked in a deep voice, looking solemn.

The persuasion system spoke slowly, with an extremely majestic look:

"Power is indeed a disaster, and elite troops cannot be without a leader."

"So the first thing to do is to surround the court stick and entrust it with important tasks."

"In case you have other thoughts about me, my dear ministers!"

Such euphemistic words immediately made most of the civil and military officials look horrified.

They shivered involuntarily and felt an inexplicable fear.

No wonder someone would harbor murderous intentions towards the new emperor.

Who would have thought that he would take such unnecessary measures to guard against the powerful right after he came to power? Is this still the behavior of a wise ruler? He simply did not hide his political scheming!

Only Zhang Beixing, Elena and Richard looked calm and showed no fear at all.

It seems that they are no longer surprised by their lord's great wisdom and foolishness.

"Subordinates take orders!"

The two men responded in unison, showing great bravery.

"Disciple will remember the teachings of the seniors!" Zhang Beixing also responded respectfully.

"Go back to the palace to make the arrangements. I will stay here to look after the house!"

Everyone hurriedly withdrew from the court, no one wanted to stay too long to avoid any unexpected events.

Only when the hall regained its silence did Zhang Beixing finally relax.

He slowly sat on the dragon throne and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Senior, am I being too hasty?"

He looked at the persuasion system beside him with a gloomy expression.

"What you just said is a bit cruel."

"Zhang'er has great ambitions!" The system smiled indifferently after hearing the advice and did not take it seriously.

"But as I said, the people in the court are still very cunning and treacherous."

"If we really let them show off their might, I'm afraid there will be no peace from now on!"

Zhang Beixing frowned slightly, then shook his head.

It seems that what this senior said makes sense.

That's why he was so cruel and wanted to cut the roots first.

"Senior, you mentioned before that there are followers who are willing to die without caring."

"This is really hard for me to understand. Please give me some pointers!"

The persuasion system looked slightly serious after hearing this:
"Have you forgotten the emperor from the previous dynasty?"

"Didn't we say that we would check and balance the powerful people in the government and the country? He is the biggest threat!"

Zhang Beixing was stunned when he heard this.

Oh, yes! Although the late emperor was deposed, once he gathers his cronies again, he will be a disaster!
"What do you think, senior? I am all ears!"

The listening system looked stern and his eyes were like torches:
"Go to the control panel immediately and don't give him a chance to counterattack!"

"Otherwise, there will be endless troubles and we will have no peace!"

After hearing this, Zhang Beixing's expression suddenly changed.

He seemed to be aware of some hidden danger and even felt a palpitation in his heart.

"Disciple will go and make arrangements right now!"

After saying that, he hurried away, waving his sleeves.

The entire palace was suddenly deserted and extremely empty.

Zhang Beixing strode to the side hall and gave an order to the guards:
"Pass on my order, control the console immediately!"

"Leave this former dynasty behind, and don't be negligent in the slightest!"

The guard took the order and left, only to feel a chill on his back.

Although they hold high positions, the new monarch's iron-fisted style still makes people feel uneasy.

Only when everything was arranged did Zhang Beixing finally breathe a sigh of relief.

However, at this moment, a chaotic sound of footsteps suddenly sounded outside the side hall.

Zhang Beixing couldn't help but frown, then he stretched out his hand and pointed to stop the person coming.

The man was panting and looked panicked:
"My Lord, it's bad! The former emperor has been assassinated!"

"What?" Zhang Beixing was immediately furious when he heard this.

He couldn't help but slam the dragon table hard, his eyes red.

"Isn't it ridiculous that he is plotting to usurp the throne?"

"Master, calm down! I have set up a net to catch the murderer!"

The system calmly comforted him, looking normal.

"Whether the late emperor died unjustly or not, we will know for sure."

He waved his hand as if nothing had happened, everything was under control.

Elena and Richard, however, were secretly solemn and looked serious.

The master's great cause has just begun, how could such a change happen?

What a pity! What a pity!
"What you said is absolutely right, senior." Zhang Beixing suppressed his anger and put on the posture of a king again.

"This matter cannot be underestimated, otherwise there will be punishment from heaven!"

"Immediately pass my order to impose martial law throughout the city! If any suspicious individuals are found, they will be killed without mercy!"

"Yes, sir. I will obey your command!"

Richard and Elena followed the order and left at lightning speed.

They understood that the most important thing now was to take precautions and never be ambushed again!

Zhang Beixing stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes icy cold.

The late emperor is dead. Regardless of whether it is a false case or not, there must be someone responsible.

And these people will surely become his targets for purge again.

"Senior, I am a little too hasty."

The system shook its head after hearing the advice, its eyes flashing like lightning:
"This is the power struggle, and this is the darkness you will face."

"To protect oneself, one must take a long-term view."

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior. I will keep it in mind."

Zhang Beixing bowed deeply, and his agitated mood finally calmed down.

The most important thing right now is to thoroughly eliminate potential risks and maintain overall stability.

When it was just getting light, Zhang Beixing finally left the side hall and walked slowly along the long corridor in the palace.

On both sides of the corridor, there were palace maids kneeling in worship.

Faced with those stunning beauties, Zhang Beixing turned a blind eye, as if he was unaware.

He just nodded slightly without saying anything else.

But everyone was secretly shocked and couldn't help but feel awe.

When had they ever seen such a gentleman's demeanor?
The previous emperor dreamed of being surrounded by maids.

But now, the new king turned a blind eye and was not swayed by the beauty at all.

No wonder we heard that he is so wise and intelligent, so precious!

However, Zhang Beixing's steps suddenly paused, and his previously calm mood suddenly fluctuated.

He glanced sideways and saw a peerless beauty holding onto the wall, struggling to stand.

And there were spots of blood on her palace dress!

If Zhang Beixing had not been extremely vigilant, he would have been unable to notice such an abnormality.

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

Zhang Beixing spoke calmly, his eyes as sharp as torches.

"Your Majesty, I am just a palace maid who was framed by a traitor and luckily escaped death."

The beauty answered tremblingly, as if she was already unable to do it.

However, she still tried to straighten her body and maintain a reserved attitude as much as possible.

Such bravery and fearlessness instantly changed Zhang Beixing's mind.

He pointed his finger, and one of the palace maids stayed behind, while the rest retreated.

Only the girl was left sitting opposite him on the corridor.

"It seems that my sister is also a brave person. Can you tell me what happened in detail today? I will make the decision!"

After hearing this, the beauty's face suddenly changed and she was shocked.

But she immediately calmed down and spoke solemnly:
"I was gathered by several people tonight and forced into a forbidden area. If I hadn't learned martial arts in secret."

"Don't say anymore." Zhang Beixing stopped her unexpectedly.

He looked solemn and thoughtful:
"I have some concerns in my mind, this is not a trivial matter."

"But your character deserves my admiration."

The beauty was suddenly at a loss. Her knees went weak and she almost fell to her knees after being praised so highly by the monarch.

"What happened? You will be rewarded for your merits in the future."

Zhang Beixing spoke calmly, as if he had seen through everything.

"Your Majesty, I was actually ordered to assassinate the late emperor."

The beauty felt sad, but finally gave in.

She lowered her head silently, not daring to look Zhang Beixing in the eye.

"Even if the late emperor was incompetent and unjust, I know that he has lost his power."

"But that night, the person who came still ordered me to assassinate him, otherwise I would be killed without mercy."

Her voice trembled slightly, as if she still remembered the bloody experience that night.

"Yes, it seems that my guess has finally been confirmed."

Zhang Beixing nodded, his eyes suddenly becoming extremely gloomy. (End of this chapter)
