[System] Journey to Snake Essence

On the second day when he went to court, Long Zhiyue was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, and his figure was sitting in the main hall. His eyes swept across the people below and said: "In three days, I will make Murong Jiaomei my queen."

Hearing this, a group of senior ministers looked at each other, then they all knelt beside the emperor and said in unison: "Please take back your order!"

A standing courtier came out and said worriedly: "Your Majesty, if you appoint a young girl who is only seven years old as a queen, what is the prestige of the country? Where is the law? This is a disgrace to our Dragon Kingdom."

Hearing this, Long Zhiyue sneered again and again. What they mean is that he, the king of a country, has shamed the country?However, since the people below are all important officials of the court, he could only endure it and said: "I have made up my mind, so you don't need to say any more."

The veterans said in unison again: "I also ask the emperor to take back the order—"

The dragon held the ax and clapped the chair hand: "Will this country be decided by you or by me!? At this time, there is no room for discussion!"

"Your Majesty! This action will damage the prestige of the country!" A minister came out from among the courtiers, and he knelt down and said, "Please take back your orders!"

"This move will make you lose heart, Your Majesty!" Another courtier came out, knelt down and said, "Please take it back, Your Majesty!"

"Your majesty...this move..." Another minister came out.

And just after they came out, all the courtiers knelt down together and said, "Please take back your order, Your Majesty!"

Long Zhiyue was so angry that he laughed, he said: "If anyone objects again! I will take your heads!"

The courtiers around looked at each other, and finally said: "Please take back the order of the emperor—!"

Long Zhiyue flicked his sleeves and said: "Come here! Drag all these stupid courtiers to me! Lock them up in prison, and they will be executed after they are established!"

"No—!" All the soldiers who had been standing guard outside came in together, and dragged the old ministers down. They didn't care how much power these old ministers had in the court, and now they were about to die. It's a good person, so it doesn't matter whether the hands and feet are serious or not, as long as you don't die, you will get it.

An old official was rudely dragged down by the soldiers, his beard trembled in anger, and he fainted immediately after being knocked and bumped.

Hulala, a lot of people were dragged away, and now there were only a few trembling courtiers left in the court, Bai Su and Long Jinyu.

Looking at the few lonely people left, Long Chiyue was so angry that his liver trembled for a moment, but he still sneered and said, "Why, the more you want to stop me from becoming a queen?"

"Don't dare!" The few remaining courtiers knelt down like frightened birds.

Looking at Long Zhiyue, his heart became more and more angry, and he simply waved his big hand and said: "Retire!"

After retreating from the court, the few remaining courtiers looked sad. They looked at each other, and they all lamented and returned to the mansion in their own sedan chairs.

However, the King of Chu, Long Jinyu, who had already retreated from the imperial court, walked up to Bai Su, and said hesitantly: "All the ministers of the imperial court have been implicated, so I don't think we can cause any trouble..." After finishing speaking, he sighed and said : "This king's Mei'er..."

Bai Su glanced at him with a half-smile, and said, "Just wait, don't worry."

Chu Wang Long Jinyu nodded half-understood: "Come on! You have a plan, and this king will follow your orders."

And the fact seems to be just as what Bai Su said.

After the time for retreating from the court, the various mansions that found that their masters had not come had already sent people to inquire around, and after a while, the various mansions got the news, and the wives of the various mansions immediately turned pale and pale. It's terrible, and the government is like a dark cloud covering the top for a moment.

And how can there be an impenetrable wall in the world?But in the morning, the emperor's decision to have a seven-year-old girl as queen was rejected by his courtiers, and the news that he was going to kill all the courtiers in anger spread all over the streets and alleys. A tyrant? This is a true tyrant!"

But at this time, a low-key sedan chair was carried to the front of Chu Palace.

But after a while, a man full of dignity and piercing eyes walked out of the sedan chair. The man's pace did not slow down at all. He got off the sedan chair and entered the Chu Palace.

Not long after, Bai Su sat opposite Chu King Long Jinyu and discussed matters with him.

"Brother Huang, would you like to make a plan with me?" Bai Su asked with a smile.

Hearing the words, the king of Chu hesitated and said, "I don't know what you want to do, brother?"

Bai Su said with a smile: "Brother Huang, lend me half of the bodyguards in your mansion who are strong and well-versed in martial arts, and go with me to rob the prison."

"Prison robbery!?" The king of Chu was shocked, he couldn't believe it: "My brother, you want to rob prison!? To save those courtiers!?"

Bai Su smiled and said, "Exactly."

"This..." Hearing this, the King of Chu hesitated: "Not to mention how heavily guarded the prison is, if you do this, it will be difficult for the emperor to investigate after the incident... Why don't you and I stay still... Then we can discuss..."

"Discussion?" Bai Su raised his eyebrows: "One more day of discussion, and your Mei'er will be put to sleep!" After finishing speaking, he stood up, looked sideways at King Chu Long Jinyu with a smile that was not a smile, and said: " I thought you were also an ambitious person, but I didn’t expect you to be just a mediocre man! Come on! If that’s the case, you and I are different, we should separate early!” After saying that, he strode away.

But King Chu Long Jinyu opened his mouth and remained silent for a long time.

Alas... since you want to die, you should die...

In the end, he could only sigh in his heart.

But Bai Su who returned to the mansion was standing in a room, twirling the jade ring on his thumb.

A man in black was half kneeling behind him. The man in black lowered his head and asked, "Master, do you still want to follow the plan?"

"Yes." Bai Su pursed her lips: "Why don't you? Just don't keep one more person in the mansion, and send them all to me!"

"It's just that no one can be saved..." Bai Su cast a sidelong glance at the man in black and said, "Then you don't have to come back."

"No!" The man in black responded, and then his figure disappeared into the thick night like a swift wild leopard.

This is the time when the sky is darkest and people are most tired.

But at this time, in the sky prison, there was a flash of fire, and after a while, someone shouted in a panic: "It's flooded! It's flooded! Come and put out the fire!"

At this moment, the man in black who was hiding in the darkness waved his hand and said, "Go!"

A series of swift figures disappeared into the black night, and went straight to the prison.

Bai Su waited in the mansion, counting the time, until the sky was slightly bright, those few people came to his mansion with the help of important ministers.

All the veterans coughed again and again, as if they were choked.

But when they saw Bai Su, they were still grateful and said: "Thank you Duan Wang for saving my life!"

After that, they wanted to kneel down.

Before they knelt down, Bai Su helped them up and said, "You don't need to thank me so much, this is just what this king should do. This king can't see you important officials who have worked for the court all their lives end up in that way."

Many old officials heard his words, their eyes became hot, and they were about to shed tears.

Who said no?For the sake of the country and the society, he had to die to admonish him, but in the end, he had to end up like that!

Bai Su glanced at them, and said with guilt, "It's just a pity, you can't go back to the mansion now, I'm afraid that after Brother Huang finds out about this, he will send someone to search your mansion, and it will really be a waste of time." ... How about you staying in my residence for a few days first? After I persuade Brother Huang, you can go back and reunite with your family."

Hearing his words, those old ministers were even more grateful: "Thank you Duan Wang!"

"It's just..." one of the old ministers hesitated: "Prince Duan, you don't have to dissuade the emperor for us. There are so many of us, and it is impossible to dissuade the emperor. If we let you in then, then we are really guilty Minister."

"Ah," Bai Su sighed, "I don't know what the emperor brother has done wrong recently...to be so obsessed with a female doll..."

The ministers were all disheartened at this time, and hearing his words, one of them said worriedly: "Oh, I don't know if it will become a show where King You of Zhou fights to win Bao Si's smile in the end. The affairs of the princes...the Dragon Kingdom will really be in jeopardy by then!"

"How about..." At this time, a young courtier said, he seemed to be hesitating, so he couldn't say anything even after opening his mouth many times.

The other ministers were all focused on him.

Seeing that other people were looking at him, the courtier gritted his teeth and said cruelly: "Why... why don't we support Long Yu as the emperor?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone around was shocked: "No! No! This is absolutely impossible!"

An old minister waved his hands again and again and said, "This is unreasonable!"

"That's right! That's right!" All the old officials objected, but the young official could only keep silent when he saw that everyone was retorting.

The reason why he made this suggestion was because he had just entered the court, and because of his family upbringing, he didn't have much respect for the emperor. He just thought, whoever is capable, then I will support whoever is the king. Nothing else was considered at all.

"Actually..." At this time, a year-old and respected minister in the crowd spoke.

As soon as he spoke, the goatee on his chin trembled a little. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he said: "Actually, Prince Duan should be established as king at the earliest. It's just that Prince Duan's brotherhood is more important than the throne. , pleaded with the late emperor many times, and the late emperor would not let a person who did not want to be an emperor be the emperor, so the throne was in the hands of the emperor..."

Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard this, and even the old officials didn't say anything anymore, they just cast their eyes on Bai Su unanimously.

Seeing so many people looking at him, Bai Su pretended to hesitate and said, "This is unreasonable!"

"Now the Dragon Kingdom will be destroyed in the hands of the emperor!" At this time, an old official said excitedly: "I can't see that the Dragon Kingdom, which has been passed down for many generations, will be destroyed in the hands of the emperor!"

So the veterans began to request one by one. Apart from being wise, they actually have one thing, and they are also very powerful: that is to persuade others...

Hearing the sincerity in their words, Bai Su could only sigh: "Come on! That's the only way to go!"
