Quick Wear: The Demon Lord blew up the tomb at the beginning

Everyone looked at each other, and they could see shock and trembling in each other's eyes, as if asking, what should we do now?

"Your Highness is a princess, extremely noble, and with such great power, no one in the court dares to disrespect you. In this case, why bother about the status of monarch?" The person who said this was Shangqing Tian Wuji.

"Your Highness, status is nothing but an external thing. Whether you have it or not, it will not affect you in the slightest. Forcing it will only make the ministers afraid, not convinced. If Your Highness takes a step back and does not seek that status, then His Majesty will be grateful for your kindness, and there will be no gap between the brothers and sisters. The officials will be grateful for your kindness, respect and adore you. The people will praise your righteousness and spread your mercy."

"And if Your Highness insists on taking the throne, the brothers and sisters will turn against each other, the ministers will be respectful but not obedient, and the people will be angry but dare not speak out. From this, it seems that Your Highness has obtained the throne, but has lost more than he has gained, so why is Your Highness doing this?"

Tian Wuji knelt on the ground, his tone remained calm. He was wearing khaki clothes, and there seemed to be a convincing force in his words.

He knew that since Xie Lang was so powerful that she could make more than 200,000 people kneel before her, she could not be subdued by force.

Since we cannot win by force, we should use reason and emotion to make the other party give up the position of emperor voluntarily.

Indeed, what he said seemed to make some sense.

With Xie Lang's strength, even if she did not have the title of emperor, no one would dare to disrespect her, and she could do whatever she wanted.

However, having the identity of an emperor and not having the identity of an emperor are completely different.

Just like Deng Sui of the Han Dynasty, who ruled the country for sixteen years in the name of "female monarch" and was praised by historians as the "crown of the queen". Although she was a female monarch, she exercised the power of an emperor.

But a "female monarch" is not an emperor after all. Most people only know "Wu Zetian, the first female emperor in history", but don't know much about Deng Sui.

"What I want is the status of emperor." Xie Lang glanced at Tian Wuji, then said to the crowd: "Are you convinced? I don't care. How you blame me in your heart? I don't care either."

"There are so many people in this world who hate me, so many people who resent me, and so many people who want to kill me." Xie Lang said as he looked at Chu Xiong. His face was red and swollen, and he was forced to kneel down under his pressure. His eyes were full of fear for himself, and pleading.

The slaps just now completely dispelled the arrogance and hatred in his eyes. He lowered his head and looked very aggrieved.

But Xie Lang understood that he wanted to cut himself into pieces, but because of his lack of strength, he could only keep his hatred deep in his heart.

"But whether you resent me or hate me, you'd better keep these dissatisfaction in your heart and don't show it." Xie Lang's calm voice echoed in the hall, and it seemed to carry an irresistible force, which made people feel a chill in their hearts: "I only want your obedience, complete obedience."

"have you understood?"

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to start.

Some ministers were so angry at Xie Lang's words that they almost fainted.

Tian Wuji originally thought that his words would make Xie Lang understand the truth, but it seems that not only did she not understand, she became even more excessive.

"Your Highness, aren't you afraid of the abuse from the world?"

"There are too many people scolding me, what do the mere people in the world mean!" Xie Lang simply responded indifferently.

Everyone was stunned again. What the hell, just a mere ordinary person in the world? How could the word "just" be used to describe the ordinary person in the world?

"What should we do now?" Some court officials discussed in a low voice. They had no idea what to do.

"Make a decision quickly." Xie Lang said as she conjured up a long sword. The ministers thought she was going to threaten them with the sword, but the next moment, the long sword was directly against Chu Xiong's neck.

Chu Xiong was frightened, and although the redness and swelling on his cheeks made it impossible to tell how scared he was, there was a sound of flowing water under him, followed by a smell of urine wafting out.

Chu Xiong was so frightened that he became incontinent.

"Otherwise, I will kill him."

Xie Lang directly used Chu Xiong's life to threaten the ministers. When these ministers refused to obey, she killed Chu Xiong.

"You... His Majesty is your brother!" Tian Wuji never expected that Xie Lang would be so shameless as to use Chu Xiong to threaten them.

"How dare you put a sword on your brother's neck? Do you have any humanity at all?"

"Heartbroken, heartbroken, heartbroken..."

The ministers cursed loudly, but Xie Lang turned a deaf ear to them and moved the sword even closer to Chu Xiong's neck.

"Sister, sister, please don't do this. I will give the throne to you. Please don't kill me, don't kill me!" Chu Xiong's tears kept falling. He was so scared that he could only beg for mercy.

"I don't want to kill you either, but your subjects don't seem to agree!"

"Why are you still standing there? Didn't you hear what my royal sister said? Submit to her quickly!" Chu Xiong hurriedly scolded the ministers. Didn't they see that his life was in Xie Lang's hands? If they didn't submit, they were trying to kill him!

"But……"

"But what? You don't even listen to me? Do you want to kill me?"

Chu Xiong was crying hard, with tears as big as beans flowing out of his eyes continuously. Coupled with the slap marks on his cheek, he looked so miserable.

Seeing this, Tian Wuji gritted his teeth, endured the humiliation and bowed to Xie Lang. Since he was already kneeling on the ground, he only placed his hands on his forehead and kowtowed slowly: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

"I see your Majesty."

Someone took the lead, and then all the ministers submitted to Xie Lang, although this submission was only superficial.

Seeing this, Xie Lang put away his sword.

He walked to the throne and sat down, saying calmly: "No need to be polite, everyone."

All the ministers then stood up, but the way they looked at Xie Lang was not as if they were looking at a monarch, but as an enemy.

Why is the atmosphere so weird!

"Imperial sister, since you have become the emperor of Chu, I will take my leave now." Chu Xiong also stood up. He wanted to leave quickly. His clothes were all wet, and his face was red and swollen. If he continued to stand here, he would lose face.

"I will leave with Your Majesty first." Zhang He also felt ashamed and planned to leave with Chu Xiong.

Since Xie Lang did not say that he wanted to abolish Chu Xiong's throne, he still addressed him as Your Majesty.

"Royal brother, please stay. The next thing is related to you. How can you leave?" Xie Lang looked at Chu Xiong with a smile. Chu Xiong wanted to leave now, but there was no way.

When Chu Xiong heard what Xie Lang said, he smiled a smile that was uglier than crying.

Zhang He's face still looked bad.

"Prime Minister, it was you who proposed to exchange a thousand miles of land from Chu State and the princess for marriage in exchange for an alliance with Beihuang. It was also you who went to Beihuang as an envoy to conclude this alliance."

"Your Majesty, please forgive me." Zhang He said tremblingly. What he was worried about now was that Xie Lang would not really send them to marry as he had said before.

Probably not.

This was worse than killing him.

But whatever he worried about came true.

Xie Lang said, "The alliance is void. Tian Wuji, go and rewrite a new alliance, saying that the marriage will continue as usual, except that the candidate will be changed to Chu Xiong, the monarch of Chu, and the dowry will be the ministers of Chu. The object of the marriage will be Qi Piao, the eldest princess of Beihuang. Just write it like this!"
