Chapter 2610: Uncertainties of Fortune and Disaster

A few days later.

The old emperor's coffin had been in state for seven days. Under the arrangement of the Minister of Rites, a simple coronation ceremony was held.

In fact, this was not in accordance with the rules.

But considering the current chaotic situation, it was necessary to announce to the ministers as soon as possible who the new emperor was.

When everything was settled, the formal coronation ceremony would be held.

At this simple coronation ceremony, the third prince was full of pride, put on the imperial robe, turned around and took the throne.

All of a sudden, all the ministers gathered.

They knelt in the hall and saluted him one by one.

Although many important ministers were reluctant, they still followed the crowd and bowed together.

At this time. After the third prince took the throne, he asked the eunuch to announce the decree.

"..."

"Confer the title of De Wang on the eldest brother and Zhong Wang on the second brother."

He gave the two brothers two titles of kings, and they were all one-character kings, which looked good.

But everyone knew that this was just the beginning. Later, the two brothers would plot to kill him.

Don't forget the experience of the previous dynasty.

Then the Third Prince began to promote a lot of people.

Almost everyone got a share, which made everyone feel a little more at ease.

Some people thought they could change sides in time and join the Third Prince.

Anyway, whoever you join doesn't matter, whoever you serve doesn't matter.

In the feudal era, the loyalty rate was very low, less than one percent.

These people naturally knew that after the Third Prince took the position, a new purge would be launched.

How could you change sides so easily? It's impossible.

Now is the time to test everyone's ability to make connections.

But they don't know that the world is changing.

The so-called connections will soon be useless.

Just as the ministers were congratulating the new emperor, a man in black suddenly walked in at the door of the hall.

The man in black walked silently, and the guards saw him first.

At this time, the Minister of Rites, who was presiding over the ceremony, saw the man in black directly because he was facing the door of the hall.

"Who dares to trespass into the Palace of Heavenly Purity!"

"Do you know that if you make trouble at the coronation ceremony, you will be killed along with your entire clan?"

The coronation ceremony has a fixed process.

When and who will appear is fixed.

It is absolutely impossible for an inexplicable person to appear at this ceremony.

Then when the man came closer, everyone was horrified to find that the man in black had no face at all!

He did not wear any mask, but it was as if there was always a black cloth covering his face.

In fact, there was nothing on his face, just a mass of black.

You couldn't even see his nose or eyebrows clearly.

Everyone looked at him and was immediately surprised.

"Who is this person? Why is he so black?"

"Is he a Kunlun slave who was paid as tribute from some place?"

"Kunlun slave? Where is the Han general? Take him away quickly!"

Then two Han generals, holding the ceremonial hammer, stepped forward directly.

However, before they could get in front of each other, everyone saw the man in black take two steps forward, and with lightning speed, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the two men's throats.

The next moment, the two guards rolled on the ground, holding their broken throats.

They were so painful that they couldn't speak, and soon their faces turned blue, and they suffocated to death in pain.

Then everyone was horrified.

"There's an assassin!"

"Come and protect the emperor!"

"There's an assassin, where are the guards?"

Soon, the guards responsible for guarding the hall gathered from the palace.

For a while, under the command of several commanders, they all drew their bows and arrows and shot at the man in black immediately.

Normally, it would be impossible for them to have arrows, because now it is a special tense situation, so the bow is on the string and the arrow is on the body.

However, facing the rain of arrows, the man in black immediately swayed left and right, and dodged the arrows one by one.

Everyone was stunned.

However, a rain of arrows fell afterwards.

This time, an arrow finally hit the man in black.

Before everyone could shout out in joy, someone discovered that the arrow actually went straight through the black-clothed man!

It was like shooting at a shadow.

This was simply unbelievable.

"How is this possible? Why did it go through?"

Everyone was very panicked.

Only the eldest prince who had just been named "King of De" was very happy.

This ghost was really powerful, and it was worth it for him to secretly kill a hundred people to sacrifice to the other party.

Of course, the place of killing was still in the underground cave, and the people killed were still homeless people, beggars, and the old, weak and disabled in the orphanage...

He suppressed the joy in his heart.

[Okay, that's good, hurry up and kill! ]

[The target is the new emperor! ]

As if he heard the eldest prince's voice, the black-clothed man quickened his pace.

He started walking towards the third prince on the throne.

At this time, the third prince was already a little scared.

He quickly used the charcoal pencil under the robe to paint on a new painting.

The painting shows that the man in black will be beaten to death by several palace masters.

Wen Rensheng naturally knew that the man in black was the resentment of the eldest prince.

And the eldest prince, who was high and mighty and everyone wanted to curry favor with him, and the first heir, has fallen to the point where he can only be a prince in name only.

Soon the eldest prince will also taste the taste of being oppressed.

A seventh-grade county magistrate in a locality may use the emperor's will to oppress him.

This is entirely possible.

Between the vassal king and the local government, who has the upper hand depends on the emperor's thoughts.

If the emperor wants a good reputation and a reputation for harmony among the royal family, he will suppress local bureaucrats.

On the contrary, if the emperor dislikes a certain vassal king, the local officials will make various deductions, which can starve people in the vassal king's family to death.

If the feudal king dares not to give in, he will be accused of treason.

By that time, there would be no way to survive.

Therefore, Zhu Di's rebellion fully showed his forced side to the clan, which is why there are so many neutrals.

But now, facing the threat of the man in black, the third prince has quickly stepped down from the throne.

He wanted to leave the hall quickly, but he was too fat and couldn't move around easily.

Several guards helped him hide behind.

Fortunately, the man in black came in a leisurely manner.

It's just that every move will kill one person.

The morale of the guards is also considered high.

It can still withstand it.

Otherwise, in the middle and late stages of the dynasty, even the palace guards would not behave actively when facing assassins, and they would hide whenever they could.

This is what happened in the Qing Dynasty.

And now there are dozens of eunuchs, all stepping forward to block the man in black.

However, the man in black just takes one step and kills one person.

At first, he speeded up a little and headed towards the emperor.

But as everyone panicked and the emperor fled, his speed slowed down again.

He killed one person with every step he took, and kept chasing the emperor slowly.

Everyone was suddenly shocked, frightened and angry.

"This is, this is a monster!"

Some ministers couldn't help but said.

The ministers fled away one after another.

There was a military commander wearing inner armor.

Because during the ceremony, one cannot hold a sword.

He chose to step forward and fight the man in black with his bare hands.

However, he fought with bare hands and within a single move, the opponent leaned directly into his arms, grabbed him, and disemboweled him.

A long-established military commander in his prime fell for no reason.

And at this time.

The third prince had already fled to the back of the palace and was about to escape through the back door.

While the eldest prince was hiding in the corner, he watched the man in black killing everyone.

He couldn't help but laugh inwardly.

[Very good, very good, kill me quickly! 】

[What I can’t get, others can’t even imagine! 】

But at this moment, no one finally dared to resist.

After all, the opponent cannot be killed at all.

How high could the morale of soldiers in the feudal era be?

When the bravest group died first, the seemingly majestic and sacred ceremony became vulnerable.

The man in black continued to kill the third prince.

The third prince continued to run.

For the first time in his life, he hated himself. Why was he so fat?

Obviously the man in black walked very slowly.

That's about three steps per second and one meter per step.

This can be said to be very, very slow.

After all, normal people can run 100 meters within 20 seconds without any problems.

That's a speed of 5 meters per second.

But the problem with the third prince is that he can't even walk three meters per second.

Walking basically relies on support and movement.

Fortunately, several eunuchs were loyal and supported him, pushed him, and dragged him, and finally left the palace hall.

Then the third prince opened a secret passage on the wall of a side hall and tried to escape.

However, the man in black also got into the secret passage.

Those walls couldn't stop him.

At this time, the third prince drew a new picture while walking.

The content of the new painting is that a bolt of thunder came from the sky and directly killed the man in black.

However, the result was that thunder did fall from the sky.

However, it didn't hit anything, it just cracked their main hall directly.

Then the man in black finally came to the third prince.

Just when the man in black was about to reach out, the third prince suddenly said:

"Wait, don't kill me, I'll give you everything you need."

At this time, when the man in black heard this, he smiled slightly, and then said:

"Okay, as long as you bring me 10,000 people as sacrifices, I will let you live."

Ten thousand people?

The third prince was shocked, this is too cheap!

He thought it would be really difficult to kill a million people.

Even if the emperor wanted to kill millions of people in peacetime, it would be difficult for him to do so.

Careful planning is required, and side affairs usually need to be done in border areas.

And for a mere 10,000 people, all we need is one bandit suppressor.

So he decisively agreed: "Okay, I can sacrifice 10,000 people to you."

Upon hearing this, the man in black disappeared before his eyes.

Wen Rensheng was speechless when he saw this.

Good guy, this so-called weirdness is also deceiving people.

At this time, the eldest prince was still waiting happily for the death of the new emperor, and he hurriedly ascended the throne in order.

After all, in his heart, he is the emperor.

After the current emperor dies, it will naturally belong to him.

However, in the afternoon, the emperor reconvened the ministers and the prince went to court.

The eldest prince was immediately furious. He didn't succeed?

How can this be?

According to the scene I saw before, the man in black killed the emperor just like a man killing a chicken!

After going to court, he returned home.

Started to curse.

"Asshole, I was cheated!"

Not long after, the man in black appeared in his shadow.

The eldest prince glared at him:

"Why, why didn't you complete my task!"

"Sorry, the other party offered a higher price than you."

"Damn it, you monster can't do this, people must be trustworthy."

"Haha, since you know I'm a monster, what credibility do you have?" The man in black sneered, "Besides, you haven't paid me yet?"

"Nonsense, I have clearly killed a hundred people for you to sacrifice!" The eldest prince said angrily.

"Hahaha, I didn't say that a hundred people would be enough." The man in black laughed,

"I'm weird, it's normal to go back on my word, right?"

The eldest prince looked at the faceless face of the man in black, that smile was like skin crawling, he was immediately scared.

He didn't expect that he worked so hard, but in the end he still didn't succeed.

"You, what do you want?"

"Nothing, next time you want to drive me, prepare more sacrifices." After the man in black finished speaking, he left.

This made the eldest prince feel relieved.

Fortunately, the other party did not kill him.

Then, the eldest prince quickly ordered people to find the quacks, alchemists, Taoists and monks...

At this time.

The third prince was also worried.

He originally thought that through the plug-in, he could change the world to be more and more powerful.

He could also become more and more powerful from it.

The result was to shoot himself in the foot.

The world began to have demons, but what appeared was weird.

It was the kind of demon world that most people hate the most.

In other demon worlds, smart people and geniuses can get extraordinary powers, live longer, and allow individuals to break the upper limit of the world without demons.

In this kind of weird world, smart people and geniuses die faster.

Because they can easily find weird places.

Then the third prince found a way to massacre several mountain strongholds and several nearby villages in the name of suppressing bandits, and gathered 10,000 people for sacrifice.

Finally satisfied the man in black and stopped chasing him.

However, in the following months, demons were rampant.

The third prince was in a mess.

Ministers wrote to him one after another.

There was something strange here today, and something strange there tomorrow.

He originally wanted to quickly clean up the troops and forces under the first and second princes.

But now he had no time to clean up.

He had no energy or mind at all.

Moreover, in the seemingly magnificent palace hall, there were ghosts and strange things everywhere.

He couldn't sleep well day and night.

He had to choose to temporarily leave the palace and return to his original mansion to sleep well.

He finally understood that for ordinary people, it was a good thing to have no strange things.

It was a bad thing to have strange things.

He never thought that he had worked so hard for so long, but in the end he would shoot himself in the foot.

If he hadn't ascended the throne through painting, he could have been a rich prince who lived a long life.

No matter which prince came to power, he would not target his disabled brother.

It would not cause so many messy things.

Now he was restless every night when he slept, and he always felt the wind and the cry.

And on this day, another group of monsters came to him in the middle of the night.

"What are you doing here? I am the emperor, don't come over!" The third prince huddled in his quilt.

"We are the people who were drowned in the flood a few years ago." The leading monster said floating outside his quilt.

The third prince did not call for help in vain, because he knew that outsiders could not hear him.

This is the ability of the monsters, isolating the sound is a basic operation.
