Chapter 767
Jenome is dead.

It hung up before the enthronement ceremony, and the emperor couldn't make it in 1 minute.

This was beyond his wife Tiffany's expectations. Tiffany's original plan was to let Jenome sit on the throne first, and then let him die after he got the right to inherit the throne... In this way, her son Ford, He can justifiably inherit everything from Jenome.

It's a good thing that he can't die, but he just died like that before inheriting the throne.

Tiffany was fooled. In fact, the combined poison prepared by Zhou Ming could be fatal if taken for 4 to 5 days in a row. Jenome died on the sixth day, which shows that his body is quite resistant to poison.

Fortunately, Zhou Ming's ultimate goal was achieved - he killed the so-called "new emperor" before the start of the new emperor's enthronement ceremony.

Removed the greatest threat.

The most critical first step has been completed.

The entire imperial capital suddenly fell into chaos.

Three days later, the cause of Jenome's death was also investigated. It was caused by an overdose of tiger wolf medicine. As for the murderer who poisoned Jenome, he was quickly locked on the "Imperial Capital Canary" Jiade Yali, and the death sentence was also issued quickly , A glass of poisoned wine was forced down, and Jiade Yali, the canary, disappeared.

Jenome's real cause of death was covered up in this way.

What the empire is most concerned about now is not the cause of Jerome's shameful death, but the candidate for the new emperor, who should it be?

Since Jerome's legitimate son is only Ford, there are mainly two suitable candidates for the new emperor.

12-year-old Noctis (Zhou Ming).

10-year-old little Ford.

Due to the position of the Empress Dowager Janit, she is still on the side of her most beloved son, Jenome... Even if this son is dead, the old lady's partiality will not change.

Empress Dowager Garnett continued to stand by the little grandson, planning to help little Ford to take the stage.

Therefore, Empress Dowager Janit became Zhou Ming's second target.

how?
Continue to poison?

of course not.

slander!

Rumors spread wildly in the imperial capital.

Of course, this kind of rumor-making is not a low-level rumor-making, but a high-level rumor-making that confuses the real with the false.

In other words, on the basis of facts, rumors have been artistically processed to make them a near-true legend.

What fact?
When the Empress Dowager Janit was young, she had a deep love affair with a young nobleman named "Hawkins".

This love affair is a tragedy that happened to Garnett. She fell in love with an aristocratic young man named "Hawkins" at a hunting party in the wild. They loved each other deeply, even to the point of elope... ...But this relationship is destined to not have a good result. First of all, Janit's elopement was discovered by the family, and she was immediately placed under house arrest.

Secondly, Janette has a marriage contract, her fiancé is the crown prince of the empire, the future emperor of the empire, and the Lucis family does not allow her to do things that will tarnish the family's reputation.

In order to forcibly separate the pair of young people who were dazzled by love, the young nobleman named Hawkins was exiled to a corner where he could not be found after his leg was broken.

So this can also explain why Janit was so angry and opposed after his eldest son Alexandre, against his will, insisted on marrying a woman with a low rank. Having encountered such a thing, why should she and her true love be torn apart alive by the family, while her own son, Alexandre, was able to overcome many obstacles and the lovers finally got married?
The old lady refused to accept it and was extremely upset, so she tried every means to stop it.

Of course, this is also due to the old lady's desire to protect the interests of the Lucis family.

But this experience of the old lady when she was young happened to be the place where Zhou Ming used it to make a fuss and spread rumors wildly.

Zhou Ming specially wrote a script with excellent writing style, gorgeous rhetoric, and eloquent content. It mainly tells the story of how the old lady met and fell in love with the young nobleman named "Hawkins" when she was young.

It tells the tragic story that they met in the flower field, knew each other in the forest, fell in love after experiencing a series of stories, and finally experienced the failure of elopement and were forcibly separated by the family.

In the eyes of modern people like Zhou Ming, this kind of story can be described as "old-fashioned". In the "Blue Moon" plane, there are countless similar stories, which are not so new.

But with the powerful and gorgeous writing of the storyteller, and the passionate interpretation of the excellent actors of the first-class opera troupe "Yeyuan Opera Troupe" in the imperial capital, this love story that happened to the old lady has become a stage opera "Broken Lovers". , due to the beautiful production of the scene, the melodious and intoxicating music, and the superb performances of the actors, once the play was launched, it caused a sensation in the imperial capital, and the venues were full of seats.

Many spectators came with full expectations and left with tears in their eyes.

Then desperately Amway to the surroundings, and even many viewers who are still unsatisfied, did the second, third, and even five, six, and seven swipes, never getting tired of watching it.

Within half a month, at least 80 viewers in the imperial capital watched the play "Broken Lovers" in the theater.

At least 300 million people know the plot of this drama, and 800 million people have heard of the name of this drama.

The propaganda effect that Zhou Ming wanted to achieve was basically achieved. He had a population base of millions of people to receive and spread rumors.

Of course, the show "Broken Lovers" released by Zhou Ming has no problems on the surface. It is not a rumor, and people can't find any problems. It's just a slightly old-fashioned opera.

But then, what Zhou Ming released could be called a "rumor".

Because after his "Broken Lover", another movie was released.

Li Fan's name is "The Return of Hawkins". It tells the story of Hawkins, whose leg was broken. Between Ganelite, another series of stories happened.

Since it is Li Fan, these stories can only be described in one word: Huang.

Very yellow!

In the scene alone, there are more than a dozen places such as boudoirs, toilets, restaurants, bathhouses, palace gardens, servants' homes, monasteries and churches.

There are dozens of action poses and elaborate illustrations.

Coupled with powerful and gorgeous writing, vivid descriptions, and extremely exquisite illustrations, no matter who you are, if you hold this book in your hand, you only need to read it for 5 minutes.
But in reality, after the old lady became queen, in about the third year, she used various methods to call Hawkins back to her side, and kept him for nearly a year... He became a lame and sloppy middle-aged man.

It was during this year that the old lady became pregnant again and gave birth to a second son, Jenome.

So Zhou Ming can completely create a new work based on these real events: "The Return of Hawkins"... This is the essence of the rumor.

So what is the purpose of Zhou Ming's spreading rumors?

Of course, it is to make public opinion generally believe that the dead emperor's uncle Jenome, his biological father, is not the former emperor Barisa, but a bastard born from Hawkins' fooling around with the old lady!

Once this rumor is known to the world, even if the old lady is full of mouths, she can't explain it clearly!
It is impossible for all members of the royal family of the Aurunian Empire to allow a descendant of a wild species to steal the supreme throne and secretly cut off the inheritance of the royal family.

So when the underground sales of "The Return of Hawkins" exceeded 50 copies, and rumors and discussions arose in the entire imperial capital, there was only one way for the old lady and Little Ford to clear their innocence. Beat the rumors!

any solution?
Bone confession!

That is to say, they dug up the tomb of the former emperor, took out a spine, and then poured a few drops of blood from Zhou Ming and Xiao Ford on it. If the blood merged into the spine, it proved that it was the orthodox royal blood.

If they are incompatible, they must be wild species!
So at the court meeting that day, facing the appraisal proposal put forward by the patriarch of the royal family, the old lady's complexion changed wildly, and she suddenly stood up!

She pointed at the head of the royal family, Rupert, and said angrily, "What do you mean?"

"You dare to question my loyalty to the late emperor?"

"How dare you desecrate his holy body, open his coffin, take his bones, and let him rest in peace?"

"Presumptuous! Presumptuous~!"

The old lady trembled with anger.

The patriarch of the royal family, Rupert, said indifferently: "There are rumors from the outside world, rumors are everywhere, and the empire is very unstable. If the rumors are not stopped in time, the world may be in chaos!"

"What's more, this matter has a lot to do with the royal family's orthodoxy. To be on the safe side, we have to investigate! If the former emperor knows about it, he will support us in doing so!"

"His Royal Highness, if you have no ghosts in your heart and did not do anything to shame the king, why are you so excited? If you have a clear conscience, this confession is just a formality, why do you have to oppose it?"

"you--"

"you--!"

Faced with Rupert's aggressive words, the old lady turned pale with anger, and almost fainted.
