Chapter 217 Death of Ma Mingyuan ([-])
The emperor is old and incompetent.

This is a fact recognized by many people around the emperor.

But Cang Haisu, who has been serving the emperor, does not agree. He always believes that His Majesty the Emperor is still wise and powerful, and still controls everything in the empire.

For example, in the past year, countless nobles believe that the emperor has been controlled by Ma Mingyuan, issuing various orders according to his wishes, and even launching attacks with allies of the founding ancestors - as the confrontation develops, many nobles have recognized Zhang The words of Yuanhang at that time.

He is definitely not a remnant of the Zhang family, but a member of Dark Crow.

The people of the Dark Crows who once allied themselves with the ancestors of the Empire!
It is also a force that is likely to be equal to the empire!
Such a character, because of Ma Mingyuan's words, the empire confronted them, and they made many shots without any results, and instead were slapped in the face many times.

Many countries around are watching jokes, laughing that the emperor was tricked by traitors and turned a good thing into a bad thing.

After all, the former allies suddenly appeared now, and if they were treated a little better, the strength of the empire might be brought closer, and perhaps the surrounding countries would have to be frightened.

The result is good now, the possible support has become the enemy, and the strength of the Changshan Empire has been further reduced.

And then he refused to repent, continued to be provoked by Ma Mingyuan, and continued to be hostile to others.

The current emperor has lost the spirit and vigor that he fought for the throne more than 30 years ago.

But Cang Haisu is not an ordinary person. He is the chief bodyguard of the emperor since he was a child, the current leader of the imperial army, and the guardian of the last floor of the palace.

Since he was very young, he has been surrounded by His Majesty the Emperor, obeying orders with all his heart, and even doing many things that he should not do in his capacity.

It was precisely because of this that Cang Haisu gained the almost complete trust of His Majesty the Emperor, and he also understood the truth of the matter from His Majesty the Emperor's words and deeds.

Ma Mingyuan was just a puppet who liked what he liked, and it was only because His Majesty the Emperor needed him to check and balance the major families that he had his current momentum.

Weakening the big nobles and big families is the most urgent thing for this gray-haired emperor who is over fifty years old secretly.

Since more than 30 years ago, when Cang Haisu took the lead and opened the way to the supreme authority for His Majesty the Emperor, His Majesty the Emperor actually had some congenital deficiencies.

Because it was a coup d'état, and because he was not the original successor, the emperor held surprisingly little background information.

Compared with the power possessed by major families, the strength of the royal family is even less than one-tenth.

Once this kind of thing leaks out, the throne will be unstable immediately!

Even more seriously, due to the serious lack of power of the royal family, it may even lead to the complete disappearance of the entire royal family.

Under such circumstances, the emperor has walked on a tightrope for decades, and when he is about to leave this world, what will the next generation of descendants do?
Can such a secret be kept strictly?

With such doubts and worries in mind, the emperor has been thinking of ways to weaken the strength of the other major families. He does not ask to eliminate them, but only needs to weaken their strength to one-tenth or even lower.

Although this will greatly reduce the strength of the Changshan Empire, but so what?

At least the empire is still in the hands of the royal family and will not be usurped by other families.

An empire is worth protecting only in one's own hands, and in the hands of others, no matter how powerful an empire is, it is not as good as a puddle of shit!
Therefore, Ma Mingyuan's actions coincided with the emperor's intentions, and soon he continued to cooperate with his every move, constantly causing the empire and the Qingshan city to confront each other, and constantly consuming the power of the major families on the front battlefield.

It was only now that all the major families in the empire began to complain and suffered heavy losses, that the emperor truly breathed a sigh of relief.

The news that came not long ago really made the emperor make up his mind.

The one from Qingshan City began to attack the territories of various families in the empire, and there was a tendency to expand.

The empire and that person no longer have any reason to have sex, either kill them or be killed by them.

The emperor just played with fire, waiting for the final outcome.

The dark crow was no longer at odds with the empire, so Ma Mingyuan's role was much smaller.

It is no longer necessary for him to jump up and down to provoke the opposition between the major families and the Raven Guild. For Ma Mingyuan, his only role now is to become His Majesty's abandoned son, and to become a sacrifice for the reconciliation between His Majesty and the major families. Taste.

Because of the confrontation between the Empire and the Dark Crow, the major families have no way out. Now that they have reconciled with them, they can use the name of righteousness to urge them to use their own background to deal with the Dark Crow.

From this point of view, His Majesty the Emperor is still so ruthless and poisonous, and Cang Haisu is very pleased.

"Canghai, are everything done?"

A powerful voice came from the palace at the back. It was His Majesty the Emperor who was asking him questions.

"Return to Your Majesty, I saw with my own eyes that Ma Mingyuan drank that bowl of soup, and he would have an attack in at most two or three hours, and God couldn't save him."

"That's good." The angry words stopped, "Don't reveal your secrets on the street."

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, Master Ma Mingyuan will definitely return to the residence smoothly, and then he will occasionally feel unwell when he is resting."

The corner of Cang Haisu's mouth formed a smile. Although the emperor didn't say anything more after that, he already understood that this was a signal that the emperor was extremely satisfied.

Looking at the dark sky, I couldn't help but estimate Ma Mingyuan's countdown.

Judging by the time, it should be almost there.

Cang Haisu yawned involuntarily, and his mind gradually became silent. Standing outside the door, he began to nod his head.

Almost as old as the emperor, he is also an old man.

Old people naturally need more rest.

It's a pity that his duty is still to guard the palace, so he can only lean on the pillar and squint his eyes a little bit, and ask the guards next to him to pay attention, and wake him up immediately if something happens.

But just after Cang Haisu squinted for a while, there was a violent explosion sound from a distance.

Cang Haisu can be the leader of the imperial army and guard the last line of defense. He is naturally not an ordinary person. He has the strength of the ultimate silver, and he has the secret treasure issued by the royal family. He is powerful and invincible. opponent.

"Immediately send people to investigate and see what happened?" Cang Haisu didn't get angry and immediately sent people to investigate.

There was no sound in the back room. Cang Haisu did not dare to look back and stood stiffly in front, waiting for the final outcome of the incident.

He thought it would take at least 10 minutes, but soon someone reported it.

A group of elemental creatures marched towards this direction. The explosion just now was the sound they made when they broke down the city wall.

"The city wall has collapsed!" The soldier who reported it cried in a tearful voice.
