Chapter 183 The Emperor Takes Turns Liu Shouye looked at the two people in front of him who looked perfect but had completely different expressions, and felt that he probably hadn't woken up yet. He took a deep breath and, following Ruan Xing's instructions, summoned the assistants and guards of the Inspection Office. There is no war in the Xumi Realm, so there are not many armed forces. The total number of people who can reach the perfection of external strength in the capital's patrol office is no more than 3,000. But this number of people is enough. Because there are even fewer inside the palace. With the existence of the barrier, the guards outside are basically just for show. There are not many of them, and there is no particularly powerful leader. Only around the emperor, there are a dozen old eunuchs who have reached the innate level. These old eunuchs only obeyed the emperor's orders, did the dirty work for him, and were also responsible for the emperor's daily personal safety. After a stick of incense had passed, three thousand guards had surrounded the palace.
Many well-informed ministers were so shocked when they heard the news that they couldn't even sit still. He quickly ordered his servants to prepare the carriage and rush to the palace gate, but he did not dare to get too close for fear of being injured by mistake. Everyone had different thoughts in their minds, and they were all wondering what Liu Zongsi, the emperor's most trusted confidant, was trying to do? If they were following the emperor's orders and were dissatisfied with the ministers who opposed him at the court this morning, then they shouldn't have surrounded the palace, right? When most of the ministers had arrived, Ruan Xing changed into the appearance of the emperor and got out of the carriage with Liu Shouye and Sun Xian. Those with good eyesight gasped when they saw this scene. How could these three people stand together outside the palace gate so harmoniously? Ruan Xing looked around with satisfaction and shouted, "Please come to me, my dear ministers." Everyone looked at each other, pushing and shoving each other as they came closer. The swords in the hands of the Lingweis flashed coldly, and the dark crowd stood solemnly and silently. It looks like the pressure is on. A bead of sweat appeared on his forehead. Seeing the Prime Minister's expressionless face, an old official stepped forward and asked with a forced smile, "Your Majesty, why are you like this?" Ruan Xing raised his eyes proudly, and scanned the area with an oppressive gaze before he slowly spoke, "Why did you rebel, my dear?" As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone around froze. The old minister took a long time to react before he fell to his knees with a plop. "Your Majesty, I am wronged! I am loyal to Your Majesty and have worked hard for you. I have no second thoughts!" "Heh." Ruan Xing sneered, "I'm not just talking about you, but all of you! I've been suffering because someone has taken over the palace. If it weren't for the careful observation of Liu Aiqing and the Prime Minister, I'm afraid I would have been reduced to a corpse! You guys are so respectful to that impostor, isn't that an act of treason?" All the ministers immediately cried out in unison that they were wronged and knelt down. "presumptuous!" An angry shout was heard, and a man surrounded by eunuchs and palace maids hurried out of the palace gate. He said angrily: "How dare someone pretend to be me!" With such a big commotion outside the palace, it was natural that people inside could not be unaware of it. When the emperor came out and saw this scene, he was shocked and angry.
He was shocked that there was someone exactly like him in the world, and angry that this person had been hiding until now, probably because he had been prepared. And the General Liu and the Prime Minister, whom he trusted, were actually in cahoots with each other, a nest of snakes and rats! "How dare a fake person speak so arrogantly?" Ruan Xing sneered, "Today, the destiny has been restored to its rightful position. I will execute this traitor on the spot! Liu Shouye!" "Chen is here!" "Follow me into the palace!" The emperor looked at Liu Shouye in disbelief, "I gave you the position of chief secretary, but I didn't expect that you had evil intentions all along..." "I am naturally loyal to Your Majesty. I am just pretending to be nice to you, the traitor." Liu Shouye said in a deep voice. The emperor looked at the Prime Minister again, his face full of disappointment, "Prime Minister, do you think that if you find someone to replace me, you can turn the court into a one-man show for yourself?" Sun Xian said with a sour face: "I never thought of judging a gentleman by my own standards." At Liu Shouye's command, three thousand guards drew their swords. Suddenly, another minister shouted, "Wait a minute! The palace is protected by the imperial master's barrier. Even if there are many of us, we can't force our way in! It will only increase casualties. General Liu, you'd better surrender. We will naturally ask for an intact body for you!" In comparison, the Majesty who was about to abdicate seemed more arrogant and rebellious, not like a real Majesty. The minister thought about it and decided to take a big gamble and stand on the side of the emperor inside the palace gate! When the imperial teacher came to rectify the chaos, the emperor would naturally remember his righteous words, and maybe he could go one step further and take the position of the prime minister! While dreaming of becoming the Prime Minister, the minister loudly rebuked Liu Shouye and his men. When the emperor heard this, he seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, "Yes, I still have the Imperial Master. The Imperial Master saw me the night before and talked to me about secrets. The Imperial Master will definitely believe me!" Many of those who were originally members of the royal party and those who were timid and fearful began to hesitate and echoed the scolding ministers. "Oh?" Ruan Xing glanced at them and said softly, "I gave you the opportunity to admit your mistakes and make meritorious contributions, but you still don't repent and want to stand on the side of the rebels?" Seeing that she was calm and fearless, the minister also hesitated. He then began to persuade the Prime Minister earnestly, "Prime Minister, please stop. Repent in time before the Imperial Master arrives. His Majesty will surely pity you for your years of hard work..." Sun Xian sneered, "How do you know the Imperial Master didn't come?" All the ministers woke up from their dreams and complained bitterly in their hearts. That's right! How could the Prime Minister not know about the palace barrier! Since he dared to force the emperor to abdicate, he must have something to rely on! Several ministers who were overwhelmed by the idea of replacing the prime minister's position suddenly came to their senses. But it was too late. Ruan Xing returned to the carriage, transformed into the appearance of a national teacher, and asked Xu Can to help him get out of the carriage. She said with dignity, "I observed the stars the night before yesterday and calculated that the Purple Star was in trouble, so I wanted to use the Vega to save it, but I didn't expect that the Purple Star was still dim last night. It turned out that I was wrong. This Purple Star is not that Purple Star." Even the imperial teacher was standing here. The emperor inside the palace looked as if he had lost his parents. But he still wanted to struggle without giving up. When he saw the national teacher waved his hand and used a tree root-shaped magic weapon to remove the barrier in the palace, he shouted weakly. "Escort——" But it was drowned out by the louder sound of the charge. Liu Shouye yelled, "Capture him!" A sea of people poured into the palace gate like a stream.
And those ministers who wanted to take advantage of the situation also sat on the ground in despair. The ministers who had stood on the side of the prime minister from the beginning and believed that the person in the carriage was the real emperor felt sympathetic and were glad that they were on the right side. After surviving the disaster, he began to secretly laugh at the stupid officials on the ground. "You are such a fool as an official. Is this about distinguishing who is the real emperor? It doesn't matter where the real emperor is. What matters is the confidence of the Prime Minister, the Imperial Master!" How many times in history have there been clashes between imperial power and the Imperial Palace, and in which one did the emperor not lose? The status of the National Master Palace has stood for thousands of years. Can't you recognize it? It was a thrilling palace coup that lasted no longer than an incense stick of time from beginning to end. Although Liu Shouye himself was not very powerful and did not have many Thousand Feather Guards under his command, the old eunuchs on the emperor's side had all their true energy destroyed by Ruan Xing's secret use of the Source-Breaking Technique, so they were naturally like lambs to be slaughtered. She still resented those old eunuchs for trying to kill her many times in the simulation! She only killed them once, so they still made the profit. The red wall outside the palace gate was splattered with large patches of scarlet blood. Ruan Xing didn't even look at it. She got on the carriage and returned to it. Xu Can also followed her. She opened the curtain and ordered, "Enter the palace." The coachman cracked his whip, and the horse's hooves and wheels were stained with blood. Xu Can was somewhat excited. Although he didn't say a word from beginning to end and only showed his face, he felt honored to be able to stand beside Ruan Xing and participate in this matter. He couldn't help but say: "The Sect Master is so majestic!" Ruan Xingshai said: "It's nothing to be majestic in front of ordinary people." She chose this method just because she didn't want to have too much impact on ordinary people in the Xumi Realm. She said to Xu Can seriously: "You stay here and be the emperor. Your term of office will be about one or two years. During this time, I need you to do a lot of things. First, take this genealogy and look for the faults of these people, whether it is corruption or abuse of power, or taking human life lightly. Once found, confiscate their property and exterminate their clan. But you have to do it slowly. If you kill them all at once, there will be chaos. Choose replacement officials first, and then take action. You can start with those officials who are on the wrong side today. Second, the girls' school, regardless of their status, age or age, all girls can enroll for free. In the inner court, many of the daughters of the clans of the noble families are literate, and if they can manage the household, they can govern the country. You can recruit these people first, such as Zhao Sanniang, who adopted you before. She is very methodical and decisive, and is the most suitable candidate. If you kill these people today and scare them away, you will not encounter too many obstacles when recruiting girls into the inner court. Within three months, I must see that all the six cities have completed this matter. Whoever dares to stop it means that you have not killed enough people. Third, within the six cities, each city must build a comprehensive charity cemetery and cemetery. All ancestral graves and mass graves must be moved in, and all the bodies of all people can only stay in this place! The charity cemeteries built by the Red Head Gang before can also be rebuilt in. This matter is closely related to your own cultivation. I am not worried that you will not pay attention to it. By the way, isn’t the treasury short of money? The money from the confiscation of property can be used for girls’ schools and charity cemeteries. If it is not enough, a few trustworthy people will be placed in the Household Tax Bureau to let them touch the necks of merchants and collect more tributes. Fourth, after the above three points are completed, I will let the fairy come and publicly recruit disciples in the National Master Palace. At that time, you can find more storytellers or writers, write some fairy tales and spread them out, integrate the National Master Palace into the lives of ordinary people, and encourage people to come to the National Master Palace to test their spirit bones and become disciples to practice. However, before the fairy comes, you must do everything I ask you to do clearly and cleanly. The fairy doesn't like to see that, understand?" The expression on her face was very serious. Although the fairy agreed that she could cause trouble in the Xumi Realm for the sake of reform. But if the fairy knew that she had killed so many people in the Xumi Realm. Then... the consequences are a little hard to imagine. Xu Can nodded and said, "Master, rest assured, I will complete the tasks you have assigned to me." Patting his shoulder, Ruan Xing said, "Don't forget about cultivation. This place is quite suitable for you. The five elements, greed, anger, worry, and fear, the thoughts of ordinary people, are the best nutrients for your cultivation. I have prepared the foundation-building pill for you. After two years, if you complete the task well, that will be your reward." Xu Can suddenly became excited and replied, "Yes, Master." Although he didn't know how rare the Foundation Establishment Pill was in the world of immortal cultivation, it sounded very precious to him.
Among all the disciples of Fengling Yueying Sect, isn't what he wants to be outstanding and have something that others don't have? After removing the disguise of the illusion magic on himself, Ruan Xing got out of the car and went to find Liu Shouye and Sun Xian. He explained the situation to them respectively and asked them to cooperate with each other. It was a pity that Zhao Sanniang felt that she was too old at the time and did not practice with her son, otherwise she would be able to come and help her with some work now. We are really short of people! After returning to Fengling Yueying Sect, the days continued on a regular basis. Every day, Ruan Xing was very busy and had little rest. He first refined the new puppets in the storage bag. After all, I don’t have a puppet in my hand and I don’t have the courage in my heart. Although he has Ah Jiao's spiritual weapon, Ruan Xing still feels that the self-destructive puppet is more deterrent. Ah Jiao has her own intelligence and is still a child. It would not be good to raise her with too much murderous intent. In addition to this, he used the tree roots from the back mountain to practice refining magical instruments, and also had to inspect the disciples on the mountain and the work within the Sumeru Realm. In three months, she had used up all the tree roots in her hands, and refined more than a dozen low-grade magic weapons and two mid-grade magic weapons. They were basically in the shape of sticks, swords and guns. Some of them were sharpened with other mineral materials, but their functionality was not increased much. They were only inlaid with offensive spells. She promised all the disciples that the first one who cultivated to the foundation-building stage would be rewarded with a mid-grade magical weapon, and the first three who cultivated to the foundation-building stage would be rewarded with a low-grade magical weapon. As for the other magical weapons, they would be placed in the Shancai Division and the disciples could exchange them with the sect's contribution points. After the construction of the Shancai Division's building was completed, Cai Wen gradually improved it and put it on the right track. The basic elixirs and various talismans and low-level magical instruments in the warehouse, as well as the elixirs refined by Master He, were all stored and kept by him, waiting for his disciples to redeem them. As long as the disciples improve their cultivation every month, they can receive a bottle of elixir and contribution points. Moreover, they can also get different amounts of contribution points for their daily work such as building the sect and looking after the spiritual fields. Upon learning that the Shancai Division had a mid-grade magical instrument personally refined by the sect leader, everyone became more enthusiastic in their practice and work. If one is the first one to reach perfection in Qi training and uses his contribution points to exchange for the Foundation Establishment Pill, wouldn’t that be equivalent to getting a mid-grade magic weapon for free? Even if you are second or third, you can still get a low-grade magic weapon! The disciples who fell behind would suffer a loss, as they would have to pay for the foundation-building pills and magic weapons themselves. They are still excited about entering the world of immortal cultivation from the Sumeru world. Even Hu San doesn't have any magic weapon, so his spirits are naturally high. Even the underground palace that she mentioned casually was about to be completed under the supervision of the Demon Lord. (End of this chapter)
