From the pure blood dragon clan, I started to become a human being

Chapter 132 The Dust Settles
The sky is getting brighter, outside the palace.

All dust settled.

Officials and nobles came after receiving the invitation, only to see that the entire imperial city was almost destroyed.

Ernest stood on the white stone slab, with many close friends behind him. Many of them couldn't help but show the attitude of a winner. After the death of the eldest prince, as the biggest supporter known to all, Ernest easily took over the throne. Command of the Sixth Army Corps.

The commander of the Guards who returned in a hurry today had anger hidden in his eyebrows. His marquisdom in the south was massacred by Esdeath, and now it seems that he must have a lot to do with the right minister.

"Ernest, let's not talk about anything else. The royal family is dead and the thousand-year empire has been destroyed today. How can you and I have the dignity to survive?" the guard commander asked.

"Be patient." Ernest shook his head and laughed. Thorn and Horsehead, two of the four Rakshasa ghosts, were leading troops to pick up the future monarch. After the royal family withered, he would be the true master of the empire.

Everyone calmed down when they saw Ernest's confident expression. The serious consequences of the severance of legitimacy were by no means something that could be manipulated by posturing.

Half an hour later, a cavalry unit quickly approached along the main road of the imperial city. The leader was wearing a black fox fur cloak and riding on a huge flaming tiger. The boy in his arms was pale and looked frightened and hesitant. But no one cared about this, everyone's eyes were on his algae-green hair.

Extremely clear sighs came one after another, and the boulder in everyone's heart suddenly fell to the ground. The eldest prince led his army to attack the imperial city, but no one expected that the other party was so crazy and crazy that he would destroy his own clan. It would be nothing more than annihilation, and his death would be strange, no different from trash. .

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

There is no need to communicate. The officials and nobles have made the same choice. They are vested interests in the rules, and imperial power is the core of the rules. At this moment, the boy is more important than anything else.

Only Ernest stared at the incoming man, to be precise, the young man riding on the back of the giant flaming tiger. The opponent's attack was so accurate and deadly that he had to suspect that there was a traitor on his left and right.

Jiang Yuan turned over and landed on the ground, leading the boy towards the ministers. At this time, many people were secretly surprised because the boy had an inconspicuous scar on the side of his face. As a monarch, this would be a major flaw.

It's just that the Empire has no choice.

"Your Majesty, I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you so much, but I don't think about the food."

Ernest ran to the boy and knelt down, tears bursting from his eyes instantly, his cries were real and sad.

"Minister...me."

The boy hesitated to speak, but in the end he did not refuse the other party's hug.

Jiang Yuan looked calm. Zhu Tian's incident could only open a crack in the heart of the little emperor, because under normal circumstances, a child's trust in his father sometimes has no bottom line, and he did not intuitively feel Ernest's betrayal. The little emperor had countless reasons to convince himself. Of course, it was impossible to completely obey him and be almost a puppet like in the original timeline.

The scar on his face will always remind the new emperor.

"Your Majesty, a country cannot live without a king for a day."

"I understand, Count Noel."

Even a child has a general understanding of the preciousness of the throne. It is the fear of the people when talking about it, the loyalty and bravery of the soldiers when they go to war, and the rarest treasure in the world.

Ernest stood up and looked at Jiang Yuan, the murderous intent in his eyes undisguised. From today on, the two sides are enemies.

"Right minister, please go first."

"I don't dare. Of course His Majesty will be at the front."

Jiang Yuan shook his head and stepped forward to hold the little emperor's hand. Ernest was probably used to conspiracy. When a child enters a strange and complex environment, he will instinctively look for support. His calculations towards the emperor are a bit cheap in comparison. After all, the trust of others is the source of power.

"Then Your Majesty, I will take you away."

"Thank you Count."

"The emperor cannot say thank you."

"I see."

"Call me."

"Oh, I understand then." "You don't need to learn from me."

Ernest was stunned at first, and then his eyes darkened. He was indeed not very good at dealing with children.

Jiang Yuan nodded secretly. With a water torture and a scar, he might be able to let the boy become a wealthy idler at some point in the future. Although he thought that this was a bit stupid in the struggle, he made this guy very obedient and also You paid the price for the future, provided you don't have any thoughts that you shouldn't have.

However, if you use abdication, you can inherit the empire's thousands of years of legal principles, which is actually quite profitable.

……

In the year 1021 of the Imperial Calendar, on June 6, the war for the throne, known in history as the "Blood Moon Change", ended.

The emperor disappeared, four princes died, and the rest of the royal blood was almost extinct. It was the first time since the founding of the country that the royal bloodline had withered to this extent.

Only Eli Landrick took the throne.

Ernest became left minister.

Midgard became the right minister.

Former left minister Mu Li was sentenced to death.

Judging from the situation on the night of the Blood Moon Incident, Mu Li also secretly contributed a lot, but under the slander of the new left and right ministers, the young emperor still issued the death order without hesitation.

He immediately killed Yuan Cong when he came to power, which made the ministers extremely confused.

Muley had only one sentence before his death:

Your Majesty, Xiaofu, is better than his master.

Ernest helped translate it. To put it simply, it was a curse word.

Three days later, the Muli Yi tribe.

On June 6, the Empire issued an imperial edict to Esdeath and his headquarters, promising him the position of Imperial General. Esdeath agreed to stop his troops and returned to the outskirts of the imperial capital with Bude's troops.

On June 6, when the government returned to normal, a sudden change occurred in Berkshire in the North. The governor was assassinated and eventually died. The right minister Midgard ordered Earl Theus to temporarily act as the governor. Considering the need to restore order as soon as possible, Berkshire From now on, there is no need to pay taxes to the central hub.

The deputy general of the Fifth Army, Le Su, was promoted to the general for meritorious service. In order to make up for the reduced combat power of the central Army, the Second and Fifth Army were given the freedom to recruit troops.

On June 6, left minister Ernest ordered the former assassination commander Gozizi to reorganize the imperial assassination agency.

On June 6, the right minister Midgard ordered that all efforts be made to search for traces of super dangerous species within and outside the empire. Anyone with valid information should pay tribute to the earl.

On June 6, an important minister came forward to advise that the young emperor should be allowed to start contacting government affairs.

In the afternoon, the little emperor ordered him to die.

That night, the right minister Midgard ordered to collect alchemy books within the empire, and those who performed well would be given a hundred gold.

On June 6, some important ministers came forward to advise that left-right ministers should be prohibited from interfering in government affairs without a bottom line.

In the afternoon, the little emperor ordered him to be killed with a stick.

A family biography of a certain Duke records that at this point, the empire entered the dark moment after the Blood Moon Change. Two ugly behemoths lay prone on the imperial giant to desperately absorb nutrients. The people's livelihood was in mourning, the government was sluggish, and rebellions in various places increased significantly.

The left and right ministers frantically eliminated dissidents, and General Bude tried his best to protect the officials of the conscientious faction, but he was still unable to do so.

In just five years, in the blink of an eye.
