Gu Dingbei smiled, and it was a genuine smile. He could see that Mu Yuncheng was a man of integrity.

The civil and military officials are basically dealt with!!

Censor Liang said, "Your Majesty!! I believe that a country cannot be without a ruler for even a day. Your Majesty should hold the coronation ceremony as soon as possible!!"

"Your Majesty! According to the Qingtianjian calculations, tomorrow is an auspicious day and the ceremony can be held!!"

"Your Majesty, please ascend the throne as soon as possible!!"

The civil and military officials in the court spoke a few times. Gu Dingbei looked at the people in the hall and suddenly felt a little bored! !

"I will consider ascending the throne later!! If there is a more suitable candidate in this world, I, Gu Dingbei, will not be a prisoner of the emperor!!"

Without waiting for anyone to react, Gu Dingbei turned around and left! !

"What does your majesty mean?"

"What do you mean? Huh? What does this mean?"

"Don't want to be the emperor's prisoner?" Mu Yuncheng smiled. As for Gu Dingbei, perhaps they all misunderstood him.

"If he doesn't become the emperor, who else can be the emperor? Ah? What should we do?!"

"A country cannot be without a ruler for even a day. We must persuade His Majesty to ascend the throne as soon as possible!!"

"Yeah yeah!!!"

Within a few days, most of the royal family was liquidated.

Shen Lianxin told the story of the virtuous king, and Gu Dingbei came to the virtuous king's mansion in person!

Chu Mingzhu pulled the virtuous king to kneel down, but the virtuous king stood straight, and for a moment he seemed to be no longer sick!

"Your Majesty!"

"Ahem! General Gu, why are you here? Ahem! If you are here to wipe out the roots, there is no need to go to great lengths. You only need to give an order, and a large number of people will come to take my life!"

Gu Dingbei didn't want to bother with him. No matter what kind of person he was, he could just kill him and rest assured. But now Shen Lianxin wanted to protect him. As a direct descendant of the royal family, he had to live. He had to meet him and know what kind of person he was.

Gu Dingbei turned around and didn't say anything.

The wise king thought for a moment and said, "General, you won't kill me? Then I will beg for the people of the world!!"

Gu Dingbei became interested and looked at him with a smile, "How can you be sure that I won't kill you? Now that you can't even protect yourself, what are you asking for on behalf of the people?"

The wise king smiled miserably and shook his body. "I said, if you want to kill me, you don't have to do it yourself, let alone meet me in person!! Only if you want to keep me, you will seriously look at what kind of person I am!! Will it leave hidden dangers for your future!! "

Gu Dingbei nodded. This wise king was said to be a sickly person, but it seemed that he still had a good brain!

"You can see that I am just a weak, sick, incompetent and idle prince! When my father was alive, I had no power and influence, and now I am a prisoner. But I don't care about these! Because I am also a dying man! Whether you kill me or not, for me, it is just the difference between dying earlier and later!!"

Gu Dingbei carefully looked at this wise king and saw through him! !

"Anyway, I am also a dying man, so I don't need to worry about it. When my father was alive, he always prepared for a rainy day. He didn't dare to release grain even when the treasury was full, which caused the people to suffer and starve everywhere!! I always advised him not to increase taxes and give the people some relief. But I am a nobody and my opinions have never been accepted!! Now, I still want to advise!! "

The wise king's eyes were blazing. "The people are suffering and in chaos. Don't impose more taxes. Your Zhenbei Army is deeply loved by the people, but you must also understand that water can carry a boat but can also overturn it! If you gain control of the world and exploit the people, sooner or later you will be destroyed like the Daying Dynasty!!"

"Your Highness!" Chu Mingzhu quickly grabbed him and signaled him not to say anything more.

Gu Dingbei stared at him steadily, the virtuous king did not evade his gaze, and he actually looked somewhat righteous! !

Gu Dingbei nodded slightly and said calmly, "I accept your suggestion!!"

After saying that, he left the Xianwang Mansion! !

Chu Mingzhu was so frightened that she seemed to be unable to stand steadily. She was so afraid that Gu Dingbei would suddenly get angry and chop the King to death.

The news of blood splattering in the palace had spread all over Kyoto. Gu Dingbei was in power as the God of Killing, and no one dared to act rashly if they didn't want to die. Those who were loyal to the previous royal family were beheaded on the spot by the Zhenbei Army without saying a word! !

"Your Majesty!!"

The virtuous king patted Chu Mingzhu's hand, signaling her not to worry.

That night!!

The secret guards of Prince Xian's mansion came to report, "Your Highness!! The troops outside the city are ready. If we leave now, we have a 3% chance of success!!"

The wise king lowered his head in thought, his face no longer showing the usual sickness, and shook his head, "30%, it's too difficult to survive 30% of the Zhenbei Army. Besides, wealth and honor come with risk!! If we leave, I'm afraid we won't be able to return to Kyoto."

"But it's too dangerous for you to stay!"

"As long as I am not dead today, I have passed this life and death test!!"

"I don't understand why the prince is pleading for the people today. Gu Dingbei is moody and has killed people without mercy. If I anger him, won't my life be in danger?"

The wise king sneered, "I have asked someone to feel Gu Dingbei's character! Although he kills without blinking an eye, he loves the army and the people! In the cities he passed by in the past, no Zhenbei Army dared to touch a grain of food from the people, let alone oppress and rob. Only by making him appreciate me and feel that I share his feelings can I make him look at me with a new eye! Only then will I have a better chance of survival!!"

So that's how it is. The secret guard nodded, not quite understanding!! The virtuous king looked like a weak and sickly person, but in fact, he was very smart and resourceful. His biological mother had no power and influence, and before the emperor saw her, she was just a maid in the queen's palace. Among the thousands of princes, he was the one with the least foundation. If he hadn't shown weakness, he would have been eaten to the bone.

He relied on his mother's beauty to win the emperor's favor, and he himself was not competitive and frail, so he was pitied by the old emperor. He also felt that they had no intention of the throne and posed no threat, so the old emperor was defenseless against them and showed genuine care!

"Back off!! Don't act rashly!! Don't let Gu Dingbei see that I'm not sick and that there are forces outside the Xianwang Mansion!! Everyone should disperse during this period of time and don't make any moves. Gu Dingbei is cunning and suspicious, so don't make any moves, otherwise everything will be exposed!! And continue to take my medicine!"

The secret guard wanted to stop him, "Your Highness, that's a chronic poison! After drinking it for so many years, even if your body is in good shape, it will be damaged!"

The virtuous king waved his hands. He was just pretending in the past, but now he had to drink. Gu Dingbei was not like the old emperor, and he did not trust him much. Now, it was a matter of life and death. If Gu Dingbei saw anything wrong, he would kill him directly without confirmation to prevent future troubles! !

So, between illness and death, this choice is easy to make!!

When he returned to the Qinzheng Hall, Gu Dingbei saw Shen Lianxin waiting for him.

"How is it?" Shen Lianxin knew that he had gone to see the virtuous king. Whether the virtuous king could survive depended on the result of their meeting today.
