Chapter 82 What, you are not convinced?
When Cao Ziming heard Ji Changsheng say this, he almost knelt down to Ji Changsheng on the spot.
Is this possible? Even Cao Ziming couldn't imagine it, and the royal family's servants were powerless to complain.
A female priest couldn't bear to watch it any longer. She pointed at the torn-up body of the Emperor of Sheng and asked Ji Changsheng, "Elder Ji, does the sight of His Majesty's body being torn apart and his eyes still open look like suicide?"
Ji Changsheng nodded: "Yes!"
People around: “…”
I have never seen such a shameless person.
Ji Changsheng patiently explained: "This sister is obviously inexperienced. For practitioners, there are many ways to commit suicide. The way His Majesty died is obviously because he used his magic power to cut off his own head."
The female priest looked at Ji Changsheng's sincere face and fell into a long silence.
She thought of what her mother had taught her: the more handsome a boy is, the more likely he is to lie.
But the female priest felt that what her mother said might not be entirely correct.
Although Ji Changsheng looks good, his deceptive skills are obviously not very good.
He is shameless.
And... I was telling her blatantly, I was lying to you, do you have the ability to expose me?
The female priest asked herself honestly, she did not have this ability.
She couldn't help but question it just now, but it was already her limit.
Although none of the other priests believed that the emperor committed suicide out of shame, no one was willing to step forward and act as the honest child.
So Ji Changsheng was very pleased.
"Your Majesty, you see, the worshippers all agree with me. We all agree that the dog emperor committed suicide out of shame. Your Majesty can announce this news to the public now."
Ji Changsheng knew that not many people would believe that the emperor committed suicide out of shame.
unimportant.
He just needed to give Xuandu Temple a reason to exonerate him.
Whether it is true or false, whether the outside world believes it or not, it doesn’t matter to him.
It would be even better if the outside world didn't believe it.
In this way, there will be fewer people in Sheng State who dare to oppose him.
As for the truth...
Before Fairy Linglong ascends to heaven, Xuandu Temple has the final right to interpret the truth.
So Ji Changsheng was not panicked at all.
The queen was also convinced by Ji Changsheng's sincerity.
"Fortunately, Elder Ji is very observant, and you all are witnesses. Otherwise, I would have thought that Your Majesty was murdered."
The worshippers really want to say that we don’t want to be witnesses at all.
But Ji Changsheng blew on the "Xuan Du Temple standard magic sword" in his hand.
Upon seeing this, Cao Ziming drew out his sword again and looked at it, as if there was some priceless treasure on the sword.
Choose the good and follow it! Cao Ziming felt that his realm was getting better and better.
So the royal servants remained silent collectively.
Even the queen didn't want to do justice for the emperor.
Why should these workers work so hard for their bosses? It's not their turn.
The queen was completely relieved.
Things went more smoothly than she expected.
Of course, her attitude also played an important role.
Sometimes, besides the enemy being too strong, another very important reason that undermines the opponent's fighting will is that one's side surrenders before the fight.
As the apparent leader of the royal camp, the Queen was the first to kneel down to Ji Changsheng.
Naturally, the priests no longer had the will to fight.
"Your Majesty has passed away. This matter cannot be concealed. I will announce this news to the public later." The Queen looked at Ji Changsheng again: "Elder Ji, you said that His Majesty was a demon from the Demon Cult. You must also provide evidence, otherwise the world is likely to misunderstand you."
Ji Changsheng smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. If you don't want others to know, then don't do it. Although the emperor is hiding well, the aura of the demon cult monster cannot be hidden from me. Later, I will do a simple search and will definitely find evidence to prove that Your Majesty is a demon cult monster, and I will never let the world doubt it."
The most difficult part is killing the demons from the Demon Cult.
Now that the demon cult leader has been killed, all we need to do is prove that he is a demon cult leader.
This is very simple.
Ji Changsheng doesn't have much else here, but he has enough things related to the Demon Cult.
The queen nodded and said, "Thank you, Elder Ji. If it weren't for Elder Ji, the Sheng Kingdom's court would be in danger."
Ji Changsheng said modestly: "It's not just my contribution. Senior Brother Cao also fought hard and killed a demon from the Demon Cult."
Ji Changsheng pointed at Yan Yougen, whose body was also dismembered.
"On the surface, this person is a Jindan guest of Tongtian Chamber of Commerce, but in fact, he has already defected to the Demon Cult. Not only him, but even the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce's top expert Yi Jianxian has defected to the Demon Cult's leader's wife. The reason why the Sheng Kingdom's royal family was so deeply invaded by the Demon Cult is probably because of the dog emperor and this demon named Yan."
This inference was well-founded and convinced the Queen.
"In addition, the worshippers are also very clear about justice. After I explained the truth, they immediately saw the true face of the demons of the Dog Emperor Demon Cult and resolutely stood on the side of justice and truth. Your Majesty should also be generous in rewarding them. Although the worshippers are all cultivators and do not care about the gold, silver and treasures of the mortal world, it is not the will of a wise master not to reward them for their merits."
Differentiation.
To win over.
intimidation.
Inducement.
After Ji Changsheng's series of attacks, the already silent royal priests had no more thoughts of resistance.
The queen readily accepted the suggestion, since the salaries of the servants came from the Sheng Kingdom's royal family anyway.
The queen felt no psychological pressure in spending her dead husband's money.
"What Elder Ji said is right. I want to thank all of you for your help." The Queen listened to her advice and said, "Your Majesty is dead, and the Sheng Kingdom's royal family is in turmoil. I am a woman, and I really need your help. From now on, the treatment of all of you will be increased by 20%. This is the limit of what I can do now. If you want to continue to improve the treatment of all of you, I will need to have a greater say. Please don't mind."
Ji Changsheng looked at the queen with admiration.
The queen is indeed capable, as she was able to survive the palace fighting.
What you just said was very good.
Tied her own interests to those of the royal servants.
In this way, opposing the queen means opposing one's own future income.
"Your Majesty is humble and willing to accept advice, and you are a wise ruler." Ji Changsheng said directly: "The country cannot be without a ruler for a day. Now the emperor has committed suicide out of shame, and the prince has been confirmed to be a demon from the Huangquan Sect and was killed by me. There is a power vacuum in Shengguo, which is not a blessing for the people. I think your Majesty is gentle and elegant, and knows how to appoint people, so please take charge of the court temporarily. For the sake of the people of Shengguo, please don't refuse."
"ah?"
The Queen was a little surprised: "Elder Ji, you don't know that the court has an ancestral precept that the harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs."
Ji Changsheng waved his hand and said, "This ancestral precept was abolished two days ago by the emperor and all the civil and military officials in the court. Your Majesty, don't worry."
truth.
From the emperor to the ministers, no one in Sheng Kingdom was willing to cooperate with Ji Changsheng to reorganize the blessed land business.
So the queen, who came from a poor family, was pushed out as a puppet.
They were the ones who violated their ancestral teachings first, so Ji Changsheng is not just talking nonsense now.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor and the First Priest of Sheng Kingdom are both demons from the Demon Cult. It is hard to imagine to what extent the royal family of Sheng Kingdom has been infiltrated by the Demon Cult. Now I only trust you, and the other royal priests also only trust you, so please do not refuse. On behalf of the other priests, I ask your Majesty to preside over the government."
Ji Changsheng is a reasonable person.
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt that he could not forcibly represent others, so he immediately corrected: "Of course, if any worshiper has a different opinion and does not want to be represented by Ji, he can also stand up and refute. I am the most reasonable person. As long as what you say is right, Ji will definitely listen to your advice and will never force it."
Cao Ziming admired him very much: "Junior Brother Ji, you are so kind."
The worshippers once again remained silent.
Ji Changsheng said with relief: "Your Majesty, did you see that? It is the common wish of the priests to let you preside over the government. For the sake of the priests, you should not refuse, otherwise it will chill the hearts of the loyal ministers and righteous men."
The queen was also moved.
"Thank you all for your respect, and thank you Elder Ji for your appreciation. Although I have no experience, since you all appreciate my respect, I can only take on the responsibility at this critical juncture and temporarily serve as the new emperor."
Ji Changsheng thought to himself that the Queen couldn't help but praise him.
I shouldn't have agreed so quickly.
Three requests and three concessions are the unspoken rules.
But he also understood.
The more complicated the process, the more likely it is that something unexpected will happen.
The queen can do it in one go to avoid any complications.
"Your Majesty is so righteous..."
"Wait a minute!"
Just when Ji Changsheng and the Queen had reached a consensus and the Queen reluctantly decided to take over the government, a man in his thirties broke into the Yangxin Palace.
The four-clawed python embroidered on his clothes revealed his identity.
Cao Ziming sent a message to Ji Changsheng: "It's the third prince."
Ji Changsheng immediately remembered what Cao Ziming had said to him before.
Ji Changsheng made it clear that he wanted to rectify Sheng Kingdom's blessed land business, but the powerful people in Sheng Kingdom did not want to cooperate.
The emperor claimed to be ill and could not go out.
The third prince broke his leg while riding a horse.
The fourth prince was also diagnosed by the imperial physician as being seriously ill and was completely unable to take charge of affairs.
Ji Changsheng believes in the principle of exchanging sincerity for sincerity.
But when he saw the third prince's fast legs, Ji Changsheng became very angry.
I trusted you, yet you played tricks on me.
This is simply outrageous.
Before Ji Changsheng could react, the Third Prince started to wail, "Father, you died tragically."
Ji Changsheng glanced at the royal servants around him.
He attacked the emperor in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, which made quite a big noise and it was certain that it could not be hidden from others.
But for the Third Prince to come here so quickly, there must be someone among the royal servants who tipped off the emperor.
Since the Third Prince can come, then the Fourth Prince who is seriously ill will probably have a medical miracle soon.
Ji Changsheng, who never lies, sneered in his heart.
A bunch of liars, deceiving his feelings.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Father, who killed you? I will avenge you!"
The third prince was in tears, but his voice was loud.
If Ji Changsheng had not set up a soundproof barrier, the Third Prince's crying would have spread throughout the entire palace in an instant.
It can be seen that the third prince still has some accomplishments.
It’s close to building the foundation.
So Ji Changsheng became more and more angry.
Despite his great accomplishments, he still lied to him and said that his leg was broken because of horse riding.
Not worthy of being a son of man.
"Don't cry anymore." Ji Changsheng said coldly, "Third Prince, even if you cry loudly, your voice won't be heard. I have set up a soundproof barrier."
The third prince stopped crying for a second.
Then continued to cry loudly.
It was not until five seconds later that the Third Prince gradually recovered from his excitement and asked, "Elder Ji, may I ask what happened to my father? Why did he suddenly pass away? Is someone trying to harm my father?"
It was obvious that the third prince already knew who killed his father.
But he didn't dare to direct his attack at Ji Changsheng.
Instead, he looked at the queen fiercely.
If I can't bully Ji Changsheng, can I still bully you? The queen is the successor, and she is not even as old as the third prince. In fact, after the queen entered the palace, she did not give birth to a child.
Even if the queen has offspring, she may not necessarily become the queen.
Previously, it was because the queen had no children and was of humble origin that she posed no threat to any power. In addition, the queen herself knew how to act and how to act, so after weighing the pros and cons of all parties, she became the queen of Shengguo.
The Third Prince certainly didn't expect that the woman who he had never considered a threat before would now jump out and compete with him for the throne.
The queen seemed to be frightened by the third prince's aggressive questioning and looked at Ji Changsheng for help.
Ji Changsheng did not disappoint the queen.
He did not even answer the third prince's question.
He was immersed in the fact that he had been deceived and was very angry: "Third Prince, if I remember correctly, didn't you break your leg while riding a horse?"
The Third Prince: “…”
It's already this late, why are you still holding on to this kind of thing? But when he asked Ji Changsheng a question, Ji Changsheng was too lazy to answer him. When Ji Changsheng asked him a question, he didn't dare to ignore it.
The Third Prince could only say: "I did fall off my horse and broke my thigh, but after careful treatment by the imperial physician, I have recovered now."
"Is the imperial physician's medical skills so good?" Ji Changsheng sneered: "Why do I remember you said that you have to stay in bed for three months."
The third prince was speechless.
He originally thought that Ji Changsheng would stay in Sheng Country for at least a year, so he certainly didn't dare to show up and get involved with Ji Changsheng.
But he didn't dare to offend Ji Changsheng.
I can only claim to be sick and stay at home.
Now the situation has changed dramatically. The emperor has passed away and he has grown up into a son.
If he were bedridden again, the Third Prince would despise himself for giving up such a good opportunity.
But the lie cannot be undone.
Seeing that the Third Prince was speechless, Ji Changsheng flew into a rage: "You bastard, you broke your leg when you were pleading for the people, and your leg suddenly got better after your father died. Are you still a human being? You are simply a beast that violates human ethics. Now that you jump out, do you still want to inherit the throne of Shengguo?"
The Third Prince: “…”
Of course he did.
"Elder Ji, my brother the Crown Prince was killed by you. I am now the eldest son. If anything happens to my father, I should inherit the throne."
Ji Changsheng angrily scolded: "A beast like you who only cares about the throne and not the people is worthy of inheriting the throne? If Shengguo is handed over to you, I, Ji, will be irresponsible to the people of the world."
"What does the succession of the throne of Sheng Kingdom have to do with Elder Ji?" The third prince argued: "The Xianmen Convention stipulates that cultivators are not allowed to interfere in the succession of the throne of the human dynasty. Elder Ji wants to violate the Xianmen Convention?"
Click!
As soon as the third prince finished speaking, his leg broke.
In full view of everyone, the third prince fell to the ground and almost fainted from the pain.
Ji Changsheng asked in confusion: "Brother Cao, what did you see just now?"
Cao Ziming and Ji Changsheng looked at each other, and then his ears moved, and he suddenly realized and said: "I saw that the Third Prince broke his leg because of falling off a horse, just as the rumors said."
After saying this, Cao Ziming's old face turned red.
But I felt a huge sense of accomplishment.
I can finally cooperate with Junior Brother Ji.
Even though it was a lie, but... this third prince is indeed not a human being.
If such a person became emperor, it would be cruel to the people of Shengguo.
I am pleading for the people and seeking justice.
So Cao Ziming continued with a noble heart: "From my perspective, the Third Prince's injuries will probably take more than a year or so to heal."
Ji Changsheng nodded in agreement: "In this case, the government of Sheng Kingdom must not be represented by the Third Prince, otherwise it will harm the country and the people."
Cao Ziming agreed: "Junior Brother Ji is right."
…
"Father, you died tragically."
"Father, who killed you? I will avenge you!"
Ji Changsheng had just dealt with the Third Prince when a mourner broke into the Yangxin Palace.
The clothes are still embroidered with a four-clawed python.
Ji Changsheng knew this guy's identity without Cao Ziming and the Queen's introduction.
It must be the Fourth Prince who was seriously ill not long ago but had just undergone a medical miracle.
Everyone stared at the Fourth Prince with strange eyes.
Three seconds later.
The Fourth Prince also sensed the strange atmosphere in the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.
When the Fourth Prince saw the separated bodies of his father and Yan Yougen, and then saw his third brother lying on the ground hugging his legs and wailing, his cries gradually subsided.
"What happened?" the Fourth Prince asked tentatively.
The situation seemed to be different from what he expected.
What happened to the third brother? Ji Changsheng looked at the fourth prince with a smile.
The Emperor of Sheng only has these two sons left.
If one of these two people had stood up and was willing to cooperate with him to reorganize the Fudi business and do something practical for the people of Shengguo, Ji Changsheng would not have chosen to cooperate with the Queen.
The opportunity was given to them, but they didn't seize it.
It is naturally too late to jump out and try to seize the throne now.
"Fourth Prince, aren't you seriously ill? The imperial physician said that you are completely unable to manage affairs and need to rest well."
The fourth prince argued, "I spent a lot of money to buy a precious healing elixir from Tongtian Chamber of Commerce. I have just recovered from my illness. I did not deliberately deceive Elder Ji before."
Ji Changsheng nodded in agreement: "Of course I believe in the Fourth Prince. The Fourth Prince was indeed seriously ill before, and he certainly did not lie to me."
The Fourth Prince felt relieved.
"It's a pity, Fourth Prince, you are just an ordinary person after all. You don't understand that in our cultivation world, medicine cannot be taken carelessly, let alone the elixir produced by Tongtian Chamber of Commerce. Tongtian Chamber of Commerce has already sided with the Demon Cult and has ill intentions towards Sheng State. Fourth Prince, the elixir you took was not a healing elixir, but a poisonous elixir, which aggravated your injuries."
"How can this be..."
Before the Fourth Prince could finish his sentence, he pinched his throat with his right hand. His face turned purple and blue. He tried very hard to speak, but no sound came out.
Ji Changsheng sighed and said, "Look, I said that the medicine you took was not a healing medicine, but it made your injury worse. Was I right?"
The Fourth Prince looked at Ji Changsheng with resentment.
This devil actually attacked him in public.
Ji Changsheng smiled and said, "Why? Fourth Prince, are you not convinced?"
Then Ji Changsheng turned his gaze to the Third Prince: "Or is it that the Third Prince is not convinced?"
Finally, Ji Changsheng looked around at the royal servants. Everyone lowered their heads and no one dared to look at Ji Changsheng.
Ji Changsheng smiled with satisfaction: "My queen, it seems that you are the one who is expected to take charge of the overall situation of Shengguo, and everyone is convinced!"
