Chapter 229 Enthroned as King
In three years, Ye Lan had already heard enough of her clichés, and she deliberately told them today.
Sure enough, Xuan Wuji was not a complete sacrifice devotee from beginning to end.
"Since you have ambitions and ambitions, you don't have to flaunt your morality hypocritically. You should try your best to get what you want." Ye Lan's cold voice contained a hint of contempt, and he looked down on such a sanctimonious person from the bottom of his heart.
Hearing this, Xuan Wuji also had a cold face, slapped the table and shouted: "Who allowed you to talk to me like this?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the formation under his feet started to move, and the overwhelming pressure belonging to the Demon God surged towards the girl.
Before the change, Ye Lan had already been unable to move and could only obey others.
But at this time, she just stood there, raised her hand and waved, and the overwhelming pressure was resolved in an instant.
"What?" Xuan Wuji was shocked when she saw this, and stood up from the table, "Why has your skill improved so quickly?!"
Moreover, the girl lives in a fantasy world every day, and her every move is under her nose.
She didn't realize that the other party was practicing at all!
Hearing this, Ye Lan also smiled lightly, "I received a nice birthday gift, and I just have a lot of time to refine it here."
"..." Xuan Wuji immediately gritted her teeth, "It's that jade pendant!"
When the two people were absorbed into the illusion, the rest of their belongings should have been ignored and temporarily disappeared.
Except for one thing.
Over there is the jade pendant carried by the man.
That piece of ancient jade was older than she had been alive, and it contained some mysterious power that was so powerful that even she had to avoid its edge.
Unexpectedly, the piece of jade ended up in the hands of the girl.
She suddenly looked at Ye Lan with a complicated expression and asked in a sour tone, "Is he happy with you?"
Ok?
Ye Lan was a little confused by the question, frowned, and corrected: "We are related."
"Is he your brother?" Xuan Wuji asked. Seeing her silence, he guessed again, "Uncle and nephew from far away?"
"..." The more Ye Lan listened, the more headache he got. After a while, he pursed his lips and said, "According to you, he is the adoptive father."
"Adoptive father? Ha." Xuan Wuji sneered directly, and replied with the same contemptuous mocking tone: "Looking at his appearance, he is only seven or eight years older than you, so what kind of adoptive father do you think he is? And it seems that you two behave in a distant manner. There is no relationship at all." We are so familiar with each other day and night, I think it is obvious that we are secretly cheating on Chen Cang!"
Ye Lan, who was almost pointed at and scolded, was confused, "Even if there is something between us, what does it have to do with you?"
"You!" Xuan Wuji was speechless for a moment. After holding it for a long time, she snorted and sat back, "Since you have the ability to break the illusion, why don't you just go out and accompany me What are you spending here?"
Is this driving people away?
Ye Lan felt that this person was getting more and more confused, but he still said calmly: "I promised you back then that I would untie the knot in your heart before leaving."
Although she is not a man, she always does what she says.
Xuan Wuji was stunned for a moment, but she also smiled, "Are you talking about making those deliberately placed unearthed stone tablets, books hidden in the belly of fish, and auspiciousness from heaven come true? You want to use these unscrupulous means to seize the Liu family's empire? .”
In the past three years, she has seen everything Ye Lan has done, and naturally knows her final intention.
In this regard, Ye Lan did not hide anything and said without any guilt, "The superiors always only talk about the results, not the process. If it is false now, it may not become true in the future."
"..." Xuan Wuji was silent for a while.
She recalled Ye Lan's move to chop off Liu Yong's head without saying a word and coerce the courtiers to block the news. She also stated that as long as she was king, she could write the history books however she wanted.
Now three years have passed, those courtiers have gradually surrendered after witnessing Ye Lan's economical talents and thunderous methods day after day. Even the most stubborn old lady has resigned from his post a few days ago, and it is right to stop interfering in worldly affairs. Ye Lan’s acquiescence in planning.
So Xuan Wuji had to admit that what she said was the truth.
And Ye Lan was not slow in his actions. After receiving the news of the victory at the border the next day, he started to spread the news among the people. Liu Yong was critically ill and the royal family had no children. This was a sign from heaven.
In the past three years, the people of the Ming Dynasty had only heard that the emperor was fatuous, but the queen was running around to provide relief to the victims and deal with corrupt officials, so she was not worried about the king's serious illness.
People even began to discuss it boldly after dinner in a wine shop.
"Let me tell you, the Queen of this Ming Dynasty is our Bodhisattva. If the Queen hadn't killed corrupt officials and released food three years ago, I would have been eaten by my neighbors."
"No, now our days of wine and meat are entirely up to the Queen. As long as she is here, we have no worries. If she is gone, I am afraid this good life will come to an end."
"His grandma, the new king will definitely not tolerate the queen. Recently, auspicious signs have appeared frequently, and everything points to the queen. Why don't we all support the queen as our king, don't you think so?!"
……
This voice was echoed by hundreds of people, and soon caused a stir among the people.
First, some squires made a golden statue of the queen, built temples and shrines, and then secretly jointly wrote a petition to abdicate the throne in favor of a worthy person and submitted it to the royal capital.
In less than half a month, the news of Liu Yong's death was finally released. At the same time, Ye Lan also inherited the throne and changed the country's name to Xuanming.
On the day he ascended the throne, he won a great victory at the border. The territory of the Ming Dynasty expanded to the largest among the Five Dynasties, and penetrated deep into the hinterland of the other four countries, forcing the other four countries to jointly issue a surrender letter and promise not to send troops to the Ming Dynasty again.
Ye Lan took the letter of surrender and ascended to the throne, and became the first emperor to unify the five dynasties.
After another half month, the army returned to the court.
Many ministers in the court had new faces, so when they heard that Ye Lan was going to greet General Han Ting on the tower of the royal capital in person, they all showed disapproval.
"Your Majesty, Han Ting now holds military power and is a reckless man. The people who have the biggest objection to your registration this time are Han Ting's supporters."
"Yes, and Han Ting still has some royal blood in him, so it would be easy for him to rebel."
"The king needs to show his attitude at this time. You must not appear too close to the general to attract criticism. I think it is better to give him a blow directly and let others see who is the king of the capital."
……
The people below were all talking, but they didn't notice some old ministers still standing in the corner, trembling.
They were speechless. They just wanted to say that these new ministers were too naive.
Right where they stood, the current king and the general conspired to usurp the throne...
Naturally, Ye Lan didn't listen to their opinions. He just packed up the sedan chair and led the honor guard all the way from the palace gate to the city gate.
Above the city tower, the cold wind was blowing, and it was already the depth of winter.
The last time Xiao Yunting left, it was midsummer, and now three summers and cold days have passed in the blink of an eye.
In addition to improving his skills, Ye Lan's body shape and appearance have not changed, so he doesn't know what the other party is like...
While she was thinking, she suddenly saw a team appearing at the end of the official road.
