Chapter 769
Empress Dowager Janit lost, she never expected that the [Bone Melting Potion] given to her by the Jianghu alchemist later was a version with two-thirds of the active ingredient concentration reduced, resulting in the medicinal properties only lasting for two days. Hour.

Little Ford took the medicine at 8:11 in the morning, and took the test at [-]:[-] in the morning. After more than three hours, it would be strange if he could get along well.

At this time, Zhou Ming also believed that Jenome was [-]% not the blood of the former emperor, but the illegitimate child of the old lady who fooled around with others.

The rumors he concocted turned out to be real facts, not innocent injustices.

Why do you say that?

Because the old lady's reaction was really weird.

On the one hand, he is looking for ways to cheat and prove that Ford is the blood of the former emperor.

On the other hand, he killed the alchemist sent by Zhou Ming.

She was so guilty and tried her best to cover it up, didn't it just prove the fact that she had done something wrong?
If she really had a clear conscience, she had passed the test dignifiedly, why did she take so many actions so that Zhou Ming could take advantage of it?

In short, it was still the same sentence, Zhou Ming won not because of his strength, but because his opponents were too bad, allowing him to find too many loopholes to attack, and finally defeated them one by one.

So Zhou Ming's key to winning is not on himself, but on his opponents.

This is why he chose to inject it into this body after some analysis.

But there is still a problem, and there will definitely be some people who are puzzled: in Zhou Ming's two rounds of "assassination" and "rumour-mongering", as long as "rumor-mongering" works, he will undoubtedly win. Why increase risks and share manpower, while Set up two games?

In fact, Zhou Ming did this for the sake of safety.

Due to various uncontrollable factors, any planning and layout has a certain risk of failure, and the success rate cannot be 100%.

If the assassination fails, it depends on whether the rumors can be successful.

If both the assassination and the rumor-mongering fail, he still has a backup... In short, as long as one or two of the three plans he prepared succeed, his chances of ascending to the throne will be greatly increased.

Fortunately, God is very generous, and the two plans have succeeded one after another, and the probability of letting him sit on the throne has basically stabilized at 100%.

And achieved the best results, eradicating two mountains.

One, after Jenom was killed, the biggest personal threat was gone, Zhou Ming no longer had to worry, a bowl of poisonous meat soup would be served to him that day.

Two, after the empress dowager Janit's reputation was discredited, it was impossible for her to continue to control the empire's government. After Zhou Ming ascended the throne, the biggest obstacle to taking power was removed in this way.

So a week later, after receiving the support of most of the noble ministers in the court.

The grand and solemn enthronement ceremony of the new emperor was held.

Under the eyes of everyone, the 12-year-old Zhou Ming put on the emperor's clothes, sat on the throne of the emperor, and ruled the world!
He became the emperor of the Aurunian Empire, ruling over the entire surface area of ​​1.8 million square kilometers on the floating island, and ruling over about 30 billion people.

But, does this mean that Zhou Ming is firmly on the throne?
The supreme power of the empire is all in his hands?
of course not.

He is still just a 12-year-old young lady. He has little doubts about the country, lacks prestige, and can't talk about major national affairs. He can only let the elders of the royal family and the senior ministers and ministers of the court jointly handle it. Zhou Ming is in charge of listening. Study hard, and then stamp his emperor's seal on the imperial decree.

Furthermore, because of his active cooperation, modest and earnest attitude towards learning, and timely use of seals, all officials in the court gave him very positive comments, and many ministers gave him five-star praise.

Some ministers sighed privately: "Good emperor, good emperor, Knox is so much better than Jerome."

In this way, less than two months after Zhou Ming ascended the throne, the upper echelon of the empire, which had been in turmoil before, quickly stabilized and restored the calm that people expected.

It's just that if this kind of calm continues, sooner or later, Zhou Ming will become a puppet played by powerful officials at will.

Without the support of a family that plays a pivotal role in the empire, the power to make decisions will not be grasped for a long time, and the emperor will become boring if he sits down.

But Zhou Ming is too young now, it's not appropriate to show his monstrosity far beyond his age too early, he has to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger for a while.

And you can't be like a rootless duckweed without the support of any family and resources.

So he had to win over some forces and stabilize his foundation.

Who?
Who should he win over?

Lucis family.

Of course, it is the Lucis family, which is powerful in the empire and holds half of the military power.

If you don't continue to show affection to this family, in this empire, even if Zhou Ming is the emperor, it will be difficult to get along in the future.

So I took some time, Zhou Ming came to the door in person in the name of visiting the emperor's grandmother (the old lady moved out of the palace and returned to her family, but she was a little mentally disturbed due to too much stimulation and has not recovered yet), and visited the road in person. Lord Sith.

Lord Lucis's name is Fred Lucis. He is 88 years old this year. He is a kind-hearted old man and Zhou Ming's great-grandfather.

Entering the Prince's Mansion, having people deliver gifts, after visiting the emperor's grandmother in the ward, and accidentally irritating the old lady, in the noble living room of the Prince's Mansion, Zhou Ming and Prince Lucis chatted alone Will day.

The two didn't speak at first, they just drank tea and were silent for a while.

But when the old Wang Jue opened his mouth, his words were earth-shattering.

"It's amazing, it's amazing. At such a young age, he was able to survive in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, fought back and forth, defeated two powerful enemies, cleared obstacles, and ascended to the highest position... This courage, this resourcefulness, the sixteen former emperors Among them, no one can compare with you."

The old prince said with a sigh, his eyes were full of shock.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Zhou Ming coughed twice, and said with a confused face: "Grandpa, my grandson can't understand what you said." He pretended to be confused, but his heart skipped a beat.

However, the old prince continued to sigh: "I also guessed the purpose of your visit this time. You don't come at the most dangerous time, and you don't come until you are firmly on the throne...Obviously, the Lucis family is not the charcoal you need urgently. It is the flower that needs to be added to the icing on the cake."

There was a tinge of sullenness in the voice of the old prince, and he began to say in a cold voice: "Boy, you really look down on the Lucis family, don't you?"

"Cough! Cough!"

Zhou Ming could only cough in embarrassment, and said with a helpless smile: "Grandpa, you really think too much." But he was cursing inwardly: Sure enough, the older you get, the better you get, and you met an old fox again.

"Hmph! Still pretending to be confused with me here, boy, since you want to win over the Lucis family, you have to show some sincerity! Tell me yourself, what kind of sincerity should you show?"

The old prince stared at him and asked.

Zhou Ming shook his head slightly, sighed, and cupped his hands to the old Wang Jue: "Just follow the sincerity that my great-grandfather wanted me to show." It's all in the calculation of the old prince.

"Hmph, that's how you know each other."

The old prince clapped his hands, and said to the screen furniture by the window on the right side of the living room, "Elsa, come out."

After finishing speaking, a young girl about thirteen or fourteen years old came out from behind the screen. She was wearing a yellow dress made of silk. The fair and beautiful face impressed countless first-timers and made their hearts beat faster.

Zhou Ming's eyes were full of admiration. This girl was like Snow White in fairy tales. From the aspects of appearance, temperament, manners, etc., she was a little girl who could score 95 points.

Of course, Zhou Ming hasn't reached that level in terms of palpitations, unless the overall score is above 98 points.

"Elsa, tell Grandpa Zeng, what do you think of this kid?" The old prince pointed at Zhou Ming and asked.

The girl looked at Zhou Ming, nodded lightly, and said, "Not bad, much better than that disgusting Jenome." It turned out that this little loli was what Jenome desperately pursued last time.

"Hey, Knox, you can also say something, what do you think of Elsa?" the old prince asked Zhou Ming.

Zhou Ming stared at the girl in front of him for a while, took a breath, and said: "If I get her, I will build a golden house, put countless priceless gems and jewels in the golden house, and hide Elsa in it." , so that no one can steal her away."

As soon as this word comes out!
The old prince's eyes lit up, and an extremely satisfied expression appeared on his face.

Elsa, who had a mediocre view of Zhou Ming at first, stared blankly at him after hearing these words, two blushes quickly rose on her face, and her heart beat faster.

Picking up the corner of her skirt again, she turned and ran out of the living room.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

Seeing this scene, the old prince laughed heartily.
