I have been painting skin in the cemetery for fifteen years

The whole place fell into silence again.

After a long while, the King of England said: "Xia Yi, an unpopular king will be overthrown. If you are not decent yourself, others will help you be decent."

The emperor said: "Well said, what you said, Prince Ying, is the truth."

"Now, we finally come to the substantive topic."

"I will never abdicate on my own. If you want me to abdicate, I will trouble you to come and do it."

"Use force to overthrow me."

"If you want to support my eldest brother Xia Jie on the throne, there is no problem at all. But don't pay lip service, please send troops to support me."

"But I also want to make it clear that if you don't want to stand on my side, there is no problem. If you want to wait and see and be neutral, there is no problem. But if you choose to stand on the opposite side of me, then you can only Just hope that I will be completely defeated. Otherwise, when I win, your family will be completely ruined."

The emperor took out a piece of paper and two pens, and then drew two lines on the white paper, one yellow line and one red line.

"The middle of these two lines is the neutral zone, which is the safe zone."

"The left side of the yellow line represents support for me. The right side of the red line represents support for my eldest brother Xia Jie."

Then, the emperor pointed to the red line and said: "Anyone who publicly announces his support for Xia Jie or sends troops to support Xia Jie means that he has crossed the red line and is my enemy."

"Once you become my enemy, as long as I win, I will definitely destroy your clan."

The whole place was completely silent.

The emperor's threat was very direct and terrifying.

At least the current combination of Emperor and Yingque has not lost yet.

The emperor smiled and said: "You can wait and see, don't be in a hurry to take sides. But if you want to take sides, it's best not to just talk in vain, make a public announcement directly, and directly send troops to support!"

The Prince of England said in a cold voice: "A full-scale invasion by the Western Holy See is imminent. Do you want to completely split the empire and start a civil war? Wouldn't this cause pain to your relatives and pleasure to your enemies? Do you want the Eastern world to perish?"

The emperor said calmly: "If you keep singing such a high-pitched tone, I will have someone kick you out. Do you also know that a full-scale invasion of the Western Holy See is imminent? At least we have already attacked the Western Holy See once, and wiped out the Western Holy See's 200,000-strong army. , where are you?"

What the Prince of England said is very ridiculous.

At this critical moment, you and King Mi introduced the long-lost prince Xia Jie.

What is this if not dividing the empire?

Now you talk to me about unity and disregard for the overall situation?

Who is dividing the empire? Who is it that disregards the interests of Eastern civilization?

The emperor added: "Prince Ying, as the assistant minister for two terms, you escaped unscathed both times with high moral integrity."

"But for the last time, are you really upright? When my father succeeded to the throne, he was only 21 years old and very young. As the auxiliary prince, you are in charge of the government for the second time, and as my father The emperor's uncle holds all the power."

"My father, from the age of twenty-one to twenty-nine, did not really control the government."

"During the court meeting at that time, as the auxiliary prince, you also had a seat, and your seat was getting higher and higher. You even scolded my father like a child. It was really majestic."

"My father is a bit soft-tempered. When he was thirty-one years old, you were still the auxiliary prince. And someone reported that you have worked hard and made great achievements, so I asked my father to make you the regent."

"My father disagreed, and his attitude gradually became tougher. He wanted to take back his power. As a close friend of my father, Duke Yingque bravely stood up and went to Beijing to become the Privy Councilor."

"After my father and Duke Yingque joined forces, they suppressed the auxiliary political group headed by you."

"About twenty-two years ago, Prince Ying, Mi You, and a certain big shot from Sky Bookstore had a secret meeting on Penglai Island."

"What did you discuss at that secret meeting on Penglai Island? What agreement was reached?"

"Three years after that secret meeting, Duke Yingzhu became the leader of the royal sect of the Dark Academy. The entire Eastern world is facing a huge crisis, the crisis of a complete break between Sky Book City and the Great Xia Empire."

"At the critical moment, my father compromised. He did not support Duke Yingque to the end."

"Miyou, with the support of Sky Bookstore, destroyed the Ying family. But that time, because my father and Sky Bookstore reached a secret agreement, Prince Ying did not get what you wanted."

"Then, you completely quit the court, not even staying in the capital, and went to Qingzhou thousands of miles away."

"So you retreated quite honorably at that time, and my father also protected your reputation, and even regarded you as a model for the empire and promoted it many times. But in the final analysis, you lost that time. Miyou got what she wanted, even me The somewhat weak father also retained his power, but you actively colluded with Sky Book City, but got nothing."

"I thought you would completely retire at home and take care of yourself. I didn't expect that after nineteen years, you would come out again and still join forces with Miyou. What did Prince Ying Sky Bookstore promise you this time?"

The King of England suddenly said in a cold voice: "Xia Yi, you are talking nonsense and nonsense. What I have done can be seen by heaven and earth. I have no selfish motives."

The emperor said: "I said, today is a day of confession. Every word I say is pure gold, without even the slightest processing. Whether it is true or not, you know better than me."

Ying Que said calmly: "The King of England wants immortality. He is ninety-six years old and is afraid of death."

The King of England's face changed and said: "Ying Que, you have no right to speak here. You are a descendant of the Dark Academy rebels. What qualifications do you have to stand in the court and speak nonsense?"

Ying Que laughed and said: "Mi You, he is scolding you."

As soon as this was said, everyone looked at Mi You.

Is the word so explicit? Everyone in the world is attacking the Dark Academy, but the more fiercely someone attacks, the more Dark Academy?

The emperor said: "Okay, it's very clear now. I will not abdicate. If you want to establish another emperor, please do as you please. But there is no two suns in the sky, and there is no two masters for the people. Whoever establishes another emperor is a traitor to the empire, and I will fight him."

"Now, those who want to support Xia Jie as emperor, please stand up!"

The whole audience was silent.

"Stand up so I can write down your name." The emperor said, "Master Xu Enzeng, please write it down."

Xu Enzeng stepped out and said, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Then, he went to the historian's position, borrowed a pen and paper, listened attentively, and began to prepare to write down.

Damn...

This is scary.

But the names on the list mean a fight to the death.

Either the emperor and Ying Que are completely finished. If she wins, then everyone on this list will die and their clans will be exterminated.

Suddenly, King Ying stepped out and bowed, saying, "I petition His Highness Xia Jie to ascend the throne and become emperor."

Everyone looked at Xu Enzeng, who meticulously wrote a few big words on the white paper: Rebellion List.

Then, he wrote down the name of the first person, Xia Ying.

Mi You stepped out and bowed, saying, "I petition His Highness Xia Jie to ascend the throne and become emperor."

Xu Enzeng wrote down the second name, Mi You.

Then the third person stepped out, Zhu Zhidong.

The fourth, Ye Qingzhou.

The fifth one, Anting.

The sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth...

All of them are princes from the three southern provinces, and they are all helped by King Mi to get on the chariot.

Next, the governors of Jiangdong Province and Jiangnan Province came out.

Two quarters of an hour passed.

One hundred and ninety-five people stood up.

Not many people, but very important.

There are only sixteen giants in the cabinet, the Privy Council, and the six ministries, and a total of eight people stood up and publicly supported Xia Jie.

This is already a very high proportion.

The other eight people did not support the emperor, but were neutral and wait-and-see.

There are probably only two people who can really publicly support the emperor.

In the entire Great Xia Empire, there are a total of twenty-one provinces, and there are nine governors who stood up to support Xia Jie.

This proportion is also quite high.

If you say that there is no handwriting of Sky Book City behind this, no one will believe it.

The emperor said: "Now there are 195 people who have publicly stood up and supported Xia Jie to become emperor. Are there any others?"

The whole audience was silent and bowed their heads.

The emperor asked: "Are there any others?"

The whole audience was still silent.

Everyone knew that there were still many people who truly supported Xia Jie.

In fact, more than 80% of the people present supported Xia Jie.

Although everyone knew that Xia Jie had an unspeakable relationship with Sky Book City, once he ascended the throne and became emperor, the entire Great Xia Empire would be further controlled by Sky Book City.

But...so what?

The officials were all trained by Sky Book City.

All the princes and nobles had also studied and practiced martial arts in Sky Book City.

As long as it doesn't hinder everyone's wealth and glory, it doesn't matter if Sky Book City controls the world. Even if the Holy Lord wants to win people's hearts, won't everyone's interests rise further?

But everyone really can't stand a woman being an emperor.

How many years did Wu Zetian prepare for it? She first became the empress, and then she and Emperor Li Zhi were two saints, one called the Emperor of Heaven and the other called the Empress of Heaven. After Li Zhi died, Li Xian succeeded to the throne, and Wu Zetian became the regent as the Empress Dowager, constantly eliminating the Li Tang clan over the years. Later, Li Xian was deposed and Li Dan was made emperor. Finally, Li Dan asked to change his surname to Wu, and Wu Zetian became the so-called Wu Zhou Divine Emperor.

But even so, how many people still rebelled? How many people resisted secretly.

However, these 80% of people did not dare to stand up and publicly support Xia Jie.

Because they were really afraid that the emperor and Ying Que would win and be liquidated at that time.

At least until now, the emperor and Ying Que have not lost.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, no new people stood up.

The emperor said, "Okay, then here is the list of 195 people. From now on, you are all rebels in my eyes."

"Except for these 195 people, all the remaining princes and nobles, all the ministers. I have given you a chance just now, but you didn't stand up. Then in the future, when the traitors Xia Ying and Mi You support Xia Jie as the new emperor, you can't openly appear in their court. Once you appear, it will be a heavier crime."

"Brother." The emperor shouted.

Xia Jie said, "Yes."

The emperor said, "This is the last time I call you brother. You didn't come out earlier or later, but at this time. So you probably don't care about your ancestors and the country in your heart, so you will be enemies in the future."

Xia Jie said, "Okay."

The emperor said: "This palace was left by our ancestors. Now most people don't support me, so I won't stay in this palace anymore. Of course, you are not qualified to stay in this palace. Those who are rebellious must support me." When I make you emperor, please find another place, not in this palace. Only one of us can win, and the one who wins in the end will come back here."

As soon as these words came out, the Queen Mother burst into tears.

Xia Jie said: "Okay!"

The emperor said: "Mother, you are a good mother, you don't even look like a political figure. As your son and daughter, I will not let you make a choice. You just stay in the palace, who wins between me and Xia Jie?" , whoever comes back to you, you will always be our mother."

The Queen Mother nodded painfully.

If she was asked to make a choice now, she really couldn't make it.

In the early years, the one she loved most was the prince. Princess Xia Ai is a very special person, and her relationship with the Queen Mother is not very close.

But since Xia Yi ascended the throne and proclaimed herself emperor, the Queen Mother gradually got to know her daughter, and the relationship between mother and daughter became extremely close.

Her love for Xia Yi was no less than that of Xia Jie.

The emperor said: "Xia Jie, go to Donghai Province or Jiangdong Province! Of course you can only go there, because Mi You can't let you escape from his grasp."

The King of England said coldly: "When the new emperor ascends the throne, of course he must be in this palace, and of course he must be in Xia Jing. Xia Yi, you are so stubborn that you are splitting the empire. Do you think you can leave safely?"

The emperor said calmly: "What do you mean? Do you still want to use force to capture me? Or kill me? If you can't force me to abdicate, do you still want to kill the king?"

The British Queen Mother knelt down and said: "The Queen Mother, please issue an edict to depose Xia Yi from the position of emperor, and then arrest her and put her under house arrest."

The Queen Mother didn't react at all.

Prince Ying said: "The Queen Mother, for the sake of the country and the country, you must not be confused. Once the emperor leaves, it will be the division of the empire and the subversion of the country."

The Queen Mother just cried.

Prince Ying kowtowed and said: "The Queen Mother, for the sake of the country, the country, and the inheritance of our ancestors, please issue an edict. For the sake of the unification of the country, please issue an edict."

Then, everyone who supported Xia Jie knelt down and knelt down.

In fact, most of the princes and nobles in the audience wanted to kneel down and petition.

They supported Xia Jie in his heart and could not accept a woman as emperor. Moreover, being Xia Yi's enemy means a complete confrontation with Sky Bookstore, and the reuse of the Yingque system, which will do great damage to everyone's interests.

Empress Dowager, if you decree to depose the emperor and place him under house arrest, everyone will be happy. If you do this evil thing, we will all be safe. We can safely support Xia Jie without worrying about retaliation from the emperor and Ying Que. .

"The Empress Dowager, please issue an order to depose the emperor and place Xia Yi under house arrest. Capture Ying Que and punish him in a canonical manner. Only in this way can the country be divided. This is not the time to be merciful, otherwise the country will be shattered."

Most people in the audience looked eagerly at the Queen Mother.

When Ying Que saw this scene, he just wanted to laugh.

Most people want to oppose Xia Yi, but they dare not take the initiative to stand up, so they hope others will be evil.

The Queen Mother just kept crying and crying.

After a long while, the Empress Dowager said: "It is impossible for me to issue such an edict."

"One is my son and the other is my daughter. I don't want to hurt either one."

"The Ai family is the daughter-in-law of the Xia family. Although she is short-sighted and soft-hearted, she knows what is right and wrong in her heart. You don't have to love the country of the Great Xia Empire, and you can go and seek refuge with others. But this country of our ancestors, I am incompetent. Women, I still have to fight hard to keep them. Until the day I can no longer keep them, I will die and follow the late emperor."

This is also heartbreaking.

Just like before Red Cliff, the wealthy families in Jiangdong wanted to surrender to Cao Cao. Others could surrender, but Sun Quan could not.

The emperor said calmly: "Xia Ying, Mi You, do you want to use force? Forcibly put me under house arrest, or kill me?"

Of course I do, I really do.

The emperor smiled and said: "You probably can't do it."

It definitely can't be done.

All the generals and armies in the capital could not accept a woman as emperor, and they could not support Xia Yi.

However, you want them to draw swords against each other, and you want them to use force against the emperor?

Absolutely impossible!

They don't support it because of tradition.

But they were not emotionless towards the emperor.

Especially the two brilliant victories brought a huge morale boost.

How could the army of the empire have no feelings for the emperor?

If you want them to use force against the emperor, unless the late emperor comes in person, it is impossible with Xia Jie.

The emperor said calmly: "You can't do anything to me, and I can't do anything to you. Because all the troops in the capital will probably have a hard time attacking Xia Jie and arresting Xia Jie. Because many people are still willing to support Xia Jie from the bottom of their hearts."

"Don't embarrass the soldiers in the capital. I can't keep you, so let's free up Xia Jing and give it to the queen mother."

"Xia Ying, Mi You, and the one hundred and ninety-five people on the list, you take the first step, you go, go to Jiangdong Province and proclaim yourself emperor."

The Prince of England and others still stayed where they were.

The emperor said calmly: "Could it be that you really want to take action and keep me here? Kill me?"

The Prince of England's face twitched slightly.

Mi You's eyes also trembled.

The emperor said: "You can do this, then go ahead."

Then, the emperor casually took off the wide dragon robe, revealing his slender and graceful figure, wearing a battle suit inside.

"My husband, help me keep the jade seal." The queen said softly.

Ying Que stepped forward and took the jade seal with both hands.

The emperor drew his sword, stood sideways, and said to Prince Ying, Mi You and all the rebels: "Come on, come and kill me."
