Quick Wear: She is the White Moonlight

Chapter 173: The Powerful Minister’s Painted Demon White Moonlight (21)

Patriarch Xiao was not surprised to see someone speak out, because he had never thought that today would be smooth sailing. He just didn't expect that the person who stood up to speak was a military general.

"The prince consort has been missing since the wedding, and his whereabouts are unknown." The head of the Xiao family said, "It seems that he thinks that as long as he is not here, he can't do anything to me."

But at this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came.

"Who said that my whereabouts are unknown?"

The head of the Xiao family suddenly looked back and saw Xiao Fuci wearing a folding fan and a white robe, which was the mourning attire of this dynasty.

"How dare you be so unlucky in this great hall." The new emperor sat on the dragon throne. Today was a fine day, and he was naturally furious to see someone wearing mourning clothes.

Xiao Fuci said, "I am presumptuous? It has been less than a hundred days since the late emperor passed away. As the princess's consort appointed by the Immortal Emperor, isn't it my duty to wear mourning for the late emperor and the princess?"

At this point, Xiao Fuci pointed at the person on the dragon throne and rebuked: "You covet the late emperor's kingdom, and you are colluding with the noble families when the late emperor's body is still warm. Have you forgotten that the last thing the late emperor wanted to see when he was alive was the noble families?"

At this time, the head of the Xiao family stepped forward and said, "My husband keeps saying that he is from an aristocratic family, but aren't you also from an aristocratic family?"

Xiao Fuci curled the corners of his lips and faced his nominal father without fear: "This son-in-law has long been expelled from the family. Now he is just a son-in-law. It is better for Mr. Xiao not to make random connections."

It was only at this time that everyone realized that the father and son had already become enemies.

"Okay, okay, you rebellious son!" Although the head of the Xiao family had always trained him as a chess piece, he still felt betrayed and angry at being provoked when he saw Xiao Fuci like this.

"Master Xiao, you kicked me out of our family in the past. Today, I will let all my colleagues bear witness to severing our father-son relationship!"

Xiao Fuci's powerful words echoed in the hall, and everyone watched the drama of a father and son breaking up.

"Since you insist on doing this, don't blame me." The head of the Xiao family seemed to have made up his mind. In an instant, the men in black surrounded the hall. "Now those who surrender can live, and those who don't surrender will be killed without mercy."

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, some civil servants even began to tremble with fear, and some even wet their pants in an unseemly manner.

Xiao Fuci smiled and asked, "Do you think you are the only one who has a backup plan?"

He had been helping to manage the family since he was ten years old, so he naturally knew how much background and trump cards the Xiao family had. He understood the style of the family and naturally would not underestimate their ambition and perseverance.

At this time, the sound of heavy armor was heard outside the door, and the head of the Xiao family changed his expression. Heavy armor has always been a trump card that only the emperor has in rumors. Every member of this army is an elite, and they have seen bloody battles on the battlefield before and have never been victorious.

The Xiao family's assassins would not get any good results against this group. Even if they win, it would be a miserable victory. Moreover, Xiao Fuci looks so calm now, as if he has a sure win, so he must have a backup plan.

The head of the Xiao family made the decision in just a moment: "There are no parents who are not right in the world. I have given you a gift of life. You treat me like this today. Considering our blood connection, if you are willing to stand with the Xiao family, I can let you return to the clan."

"Do you think everyone is like you?" Xiao Fuci didn't even look at the head of the Xiao family, but pointed his sword at the new emperor who had just ascended the throne.

"I want to ask you, did the late emperor say that no one from the Xiao family could enter the government except me?"

The new emperor was shocked by his aura and nodded. He was standing at the bottom of the steps, all the civil and military officials in the court were in official uniforms, but he was the only one in mourning clothes, pointing his sword at the dragon throne, but his aura surpassed that of all the civil and military officials in the court.

"How insolent!" Seeing that the emperor he had supported was so useless, the head of the Xiao family immediately scolded Xiao Fuci.

"I am presumptuous? Does the Xiao family master's wolfish ambition count as presumptuous? Does the new emperor who is eager to ascend the throne before the deceased's body is cold and the mourning period has not passed count as presumptuous? This dynasty has a rule that the new emperor must pass the mourning period before he can ascend the throne. I think you are too impatient!"

After Xiao Fuci finished speaking, he used his inner strength to throw the sword in his hand towards the new emperor: "How can such a person be a monarch!"

The new emperor quickly hid on the dragon throne. The head of the Xiao family shouted, "Protect the emperor! How dare you assassinate me in public!"

The sword did not hurt the new emperor at all, but only stabbed into the pillar next to him, penetrating three inches into the wood. The new emperor was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground on the spot.

Patriarch Xiao couldn't bear to look at it. He had originally thought of choosing a puppet that didn't need to be too capable or too smart. The new emperor did meet these requirements, but now he had lost face on the first day.

The look he gave Xiao Fuci was like poison: "Master Shaoqing is very calculating."

This move not only established his authority, but also made him seem right, making the new emperor lose face and no longer have any prestige in the court from then on.

"Master Xiao, you are too kind. They were all taught by Master Xiao."

At this time, the head of the Xiao family was looking at the rows of men in Chinese armor outside the door. These people were wrapped up so that only one eye was exposed. There was a murderous and bloody aura on each of them. If they were ruthless Shuras, they would always be waiting for their master's orders to reap the lives in the hall.

The head of the Xiao family couldn't help but feel a little envious at the same time, if he had these things, it was a pity that this unfilial son had already separated from the Xiao family.

Xiao Fuci looked at the face of the head of the Xiao family and knew what he was thinking. They had been together for more than twenty years, and no one knew better than him that this man always put interests first. At this moment, he was probably thinking about how to get these heavy armors into his pocket.

But he didn't have this opportunity. Xiao Fuci walked slowly up the steps to the throne. The new emperor had already been frightened by him, and when he saw him coming up, he actually stood up and gave him his seat.

"Sit down!" Xiao Fuci pulled out the arrow that was stuck on the pillar. The new emperor sat on the dragon throne in confusion, but he no longer had the arrogance he had just had. After this experience, he was scared like a quail.

"Draft an edict." Xiao Fuci put the sword across his neck. The new emperor immediately gave a frightened look to the palace servant beside him. The palace servant was originally the new emperor's entourage when he was still a prince. Of course, he obediently began to prepare at this moment.

"I want the position of Prime Minister, Your Majesty, can you give it to me?" Xiao Fuci asked, but the sword in his hand moved another step closer to the man's neck.

"Yes, yes, yes," the new emperor was already trembling like a sieve at this moment, "The consort of the late emperor's Princess Huishu is a man of both civil and military talents, and is extremely talented. It is difficult to match him with the position of Junior Official, so I will promote him to the position of Prime Minister to rectify the government."

Xiao Fuci watched the imperial edict being written before he put away his sword. Some of the people below wanted to stop it, but heavy armored soldiers were stationed in every place. If anyone disagreed, they would be beheaded.
