Becoming a winner in life starts with becoming a shadow

In the early morning, when the first ray of sunlight appeared on the horizon, the gate of the Jade Palace, which had been closed for a night, was opened again.

The two parties who had been waiting outside the gate for a long time almost immediately surrounded the palace gate.

There was no way not to be anxious, because the shouting and killing in the Jade Palace had ended two or three hours ago.

But the palace gate was delayed until now, although everyone understood that the winner was cleaning the battlefield, so it delayed time.

But the more this happened, the more anxious the officials who wanted to get the result were.

After all, everyone gathered here wanted to know which side won the final victory.

In fact, it stands to reason that no matter who wins, they should send someone out to inform their party members as soon as possible.

In this way, they can take advantage of the victory to pursue the losing party. After all, it is still necessary to beat the dog when it falls.

In fact, as early as two or three hours ago, the two parties who were confronting outside the Jade Palace had prepared for the battle.

But no one expected that no one would come out to inform the results of the battle.

This made the two parties in the confrontation a little bit difficult to get off the tiger.

After all, without getting the result, no one would take the first shot.

The two or three hours before dawn can be said to have exhausted the spirits of both sides of the confrontation.

There is no way. Anyone who waits for two or three hours in a tense atmosphere will feel extremely tortured.

Otherwise, the door of the Jade Palace would not have been opened, and both sides would have surrounded it directly.

Because they want to know who won at this moment.

But when they saw the people coming out clearly, the officials were dumbfounded.

Why?

Because they have never seen it before!

However, before these officials had time to say anything, a terrifying aura appeared out of thin air and pressed on the people who surrounded them.

For a while, the hearts of the people in a certain range in the front seemed to be pressed by a thousand-pound stone, and they felt that they were about to suffocate.

The people who had just hurriedly surrounded this side were now in this terrifying atmosphere, and they kept retreating in fear.

But the people behind who didn't know the situation were moving forward, and they encountered the people in front who were desperately retreating. For a while, the two sides of the confrontation were in chaos at the palace gate.

But the next second, when the terrifying atmosphere enveloped everyone, the chaotic scene seemed to have been stopped.

Everyone stopped at the same time, and then they couldn't stop shaking, and they didn't even dare to breathe.

"Your Majesty's order, all troops return to the barracks immediately, without any delay, and those who violate the order will be executed. In addition, the court meeting will be held normally, and officials who are qualified to attend the court meeting can now go to the Xuanzheng Hall."

After the voice fell, the terrifying atmosphere that made people tremble in their hearts slowly receded.

The people gathered at the gate of the Jade Palace could look at the woman standing in the center right below the gate with horrified eyes.

Rubbing their eyes, everyone present confirmed that the other party was not Esdeath. Although the sky was just getting bright and the light was dim, they could still distinguish between purple hair and blue hair.

Moreover, the atmosphere of the person in front of them was completely different from that of Esdeath with a military and bloodthirsty aura. Not only was her appearance beautiful, but her temperament was also noble and holy.

In other social occasions, I'm afraid someone would have been unable to resist approaching her.

After all, such a high-quality woman really makes people want to love her. Oh no, it's to get to know her.

But no one dared at this moment!

Because the terrifying breath just now came from this woman standing in the middle of the door.

One person pressed the tens of thousands of troops outside the gate of the Jade Palace so hard that they dared not even breathe. How exaggerated.

When did such a terrifying woman appear in the palace?

"Didn't you understand what I said? Or does anyone want to disobey His Majesty's order?" Except for Li De, Victoria had no patience for anyone.

So when she saw the people present standing there stupidly, the terrifying breath on her body suddenly emerged again, and even the sword on her waist was pulled out.

"Victoria, restrain your own breath, you have to give others some time to adapt." Another light voice sounded on the city gate.

"Those who disobey His Majesty's orders will die!" Victoria snorted coldly.

"Your Majesty doesn't want to see his doorstep bloody, and His Majesty will definitely be unhappy." The light voice continued to sound.

"Hmph!" Victoria restrained her aura upon hearing this, and returned the sword in her hand to the scabbard at her waist.

"Don't stand there, those who should leave should leave quickly, and those who should enter the palace should enter the palace quickly. Victoria's patience is not good, and she will really kill people next time." The light voice sounded in everyone's ears again.

I looked up at the figure on the city gate. Although I couldn't see her face clearly, she must be more beautiful.

But this is not the time to think about these things. After feeling Victoria's aura that made people unable to resist twice, the people present immediately started to move quickly.

After all, no one wanted to try the terrifying aura just now.

At this moment, all officials had only one question in their hearts, that is, which side did the two women who appeared above and below the city gate belong to.

But no one dared to step forward to ask, after all, the other party's temper had been fully reflected just now.

As for the result, it can be figured out after entering the Xuanzheng Hall. After all, the losing party can't appear in the Xuanzheng Hall again.

Under this consideration, officials from both sides entered the Jade Palace with mutual vigilance.

Because it was different from the usual carriages, all the officials walked today, so it took a long time to reach the Xuanzheng Hall.

However, no one complained. They wanted to walk at this moment. After all, without the sight of the carriages, they could see all the scenes along the way more clearly.

The more they looked, the heavier the mood of the officials on both sides became.

The officials on the side of Ernest hardly saw the figures they were familiar with.

Although the officials protected by Bud also discovered this fact, they were not optimistic because the generals who usually interacted with them did not show up.

It was not that there were no people in the Jade Palace. On the contrary, there were quite a few people cleaning up the battlefield.

But you could tell from their clothes that they were all guards and maids at the bottom of the society, and no official was familiar with this group of people.

Although some people wanted to ask someone to come over and ask, after looking at Victoria who was leading the way, those who had ideas kept their ideas at the bottom of their throats.

Walking along the way, Victoria was not impatient at the slow speed at this moment.

Who told Li De to enjoy breakfast at present?

So Victoria didn't need to take people to the Xuanzheng Hall so quickly.

About an hour later, Victoria arrived at the Xuanzheng Hall with everyone.

After tidying up their appearance in the side hall next to the Xuanzheng Hall, they entered the Xuanzheng Hall after the door was opened.

After everyone stood in their positions, a clear female voice sounded: "His Majesty the Emperor has arrived!"    Accompanied by the voice, Li De walked out of the passage behind the dragon throne and sat on the dragon throne.

"Your Majesty!" The officials did not look up at this moment, but knelt on one knee and shouted.

Although they were very anxious in their hearts, they still followed the usual rhythm and went through the process of meeting between the monarch and the ministers.

"Please stand up, all the ministers!" The familiar voice immediately reached the ears of all the officials.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" After answering, the officials stood up and lined up on both sides of the red carpet, and glanced up at the direction of the dragon throne.

After seeing this, most people were stunned.

Who told Li De that his black hair was too eye-catching at the moment?

If his appearance was not exactly the same, all the officials would have thought that the emperor on the dragon throne had been replaced.

"Excuse me, Your Majesty, is the dragon body not well?" An official could not help but speak first.

"Your Majesty, you want to ask why the color of my hair changed overnight." Li De said calmly.

"I am very worried!" The official who was questioned by Li De showed a worried look on his face at this moment.

As for whether he was expressing his true feelings or acting skills, it is not important at this moment.

The important thing is that the emperor's hair color changed from emerald green to pitch black, which is a big deal.

Why do you say that?

Because emerald green hair color is the standard of the royal family.

Why is the palace called the Jade Palace? Is it because the hair color of the royal family has always been emerald green from ancient times to the present?

Now Li De changed his hair color because he didn't like the green on his head. Although it was just a trivial matter in his eyes, it was a big deal for the officials of the empire.

"There's nothing to worry about. It's just that after borrowing the power of the Supreme Throne, some side effects occurred." Li De replied calmly.

"The Supreme Throne?! Is it the legendary strongest imperial tool that only the royal bloodline can use?" Another official couldn't help but exclaimed.

It's no wonder that he didn't collapse. After all, the little emperor on the throne has used the strongest trump card of the royal family. It's not difficult to imagine how thrilling the Jade Palace was last night.

As for doubting what Li De said, no official thought in this direction.

Although Li De changed his hair color, his appearance, voice and tone did not change at all. The possibility of being replaced is almost negligible.

"Your Majesty, I wonder what happened in the palace last night?" At this time, an official walked out of the queue, knelt on one knee, and then looked up at Li De and asked.

"Although I really don't know the cause, the general situation is that Minister Ernest sent people to assassinate General Budd, but failed, which triggered the fight between them." Li De said in a calm tone.

"Your Majesty, where are the minister and the general?" Another official from the Ernest faction stood up and asked.

However, his attitude was not as good as the officials protected by Budd, and he didn't even kneel on one knee.

Click!

The next moment, accompanied by a figure flashing, the official who stood out knelt down to Li De involuntarily after the sound.

Then he fell to the ground, and then hugged his knees with both hands and screamed in pain.

"Drag him away!" Li De immediately waved his hand.

After Li De's voice sounded, two guards who were very unfamiliar to the officials immediately stepped out, and then each of them took an arm, picked up the official and dragged him out.

As the wailing sound faded away, many people showed extremely shocked and surprised expressions in their eyes.

Not only because they didn't see how the official's legs were broken, but also because the young emperor dealt with the officials of the Ernest faction mercilessly.

Seeing this scene, the eyes of the officials protected by Bud suddenly lit up.

After all, Minister Ernest has not appeared yet, which means that the winner of last night's chaos is General Bud.

"Your Majesty, may I ask if the minister has been executed?" The official who came out first also took the risk and looked directly at Li De and asked again.

"Shaoer, the former minister Ernest has indeed been arrested and is currently imprisoned in the Tianlao." Li De looked at Shaoer and answered.

After all, in the original book, this internal affairs official was sentenced to death by the little emperor because of delaying the issuance of Ernest's tyranny.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Shaoer shouted loudly.

After speaking, he also glanced at the people of the Ernest faction, and the coldness in his eyes was self-evident.

"Your Majesty, why don't you see the general?" Another person was sensitive to a hint of something wrong.

Since Bud won, why didn't he show up?

"General Bud died in battle last night." Li De directly gave the officials of the Bud faction a heavy blow.

"How could this happen?!" The general who spoke was full of disbelief.

On the contrary, the officials of the Ernest faction secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the news.

After all, if Bud was still alive, although he did not participate in politics, the situation of his side would be very different with or without him.

The former can only wait to die, without even the possibility of struggling, just waiting to be crushed to death.

But the latter can at least struggle a little, and it is possible to escape unscathed.

After all, the people who were protected by Bud before may not be so united.

"I am also very sorry that General Bud saved me from danger, but he paid his life for it." Li De shook his head, his face full of regret.

"Your Majesty, the former minister Ernest was perverse and dared to kill the pillar of the empire. I think he must be sentenced to death in order to set things right." An official knelt on one knee immediately after stepping out of the line, and then said loudly.

And seeing this person stepping out of the line, even Li De was a little stunned at this moment.

Because the officials who wanted to kill Ernest at this moment were not from Bud's faction, but from his own faction.

"Humph, are you so busy drawing a line?" Saul snorted coldly after looking at the people who came out.

"Your Majesty, Ernest is extremely evil. I am just speaking for justice. The internal affairs official Saul is slandering you." The man quickly retorted.

"What did you say? You are a villain who is helping the tiger. You are Ernest's party member." Saul's anger soared when he heard this.

"Enough!" Li De immediately raised his voice.

"But your majesty." Saul wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Li De as soon as he opened his mouth.

"I say enough!" Li De looked at Saul and said with a serious face.
