I'm a villain, not a devil

"Ascension to the throne?"

The next day, when the remaining nobles and senior officials learned the news, many people immediately came forward.

"Your Highness, your ascension to the throne is related to the destiny of the country. Now that the empire is seriously injured, it is time to recuperate, and... and..." The blond man who spoke was one of the new speakers of the parliament, Grann von Braun.

Von Braun is also one of the big families in the imperial capital, but for many years no one has made meritorious deeds or participated in politics, and their influence in the imperial capital has been much smaller.

But when the Imperial Capital Incident occurred, the von Braun family seized the opportunity. They opened up their family's savings over the past century to provide disaster relief and help the army, and their reputation suddenly increased.

In view of the outstanding contributions of the von Braun family and the fact that the almost paralyzed Parliament also needed fresh blood to join, Grann von Braun took office temporarily and became one of the three Speakers.

This was not an appointment by Bai Ye or Bai Youming, but based on the Empire's "Post-War Provisional Law." This slightly strange law has never been used, but now it gives the other party a legal basis to follow.

Glenn von Braun has a simple and honest appearance with a hint of shrewdness. After he took office, he completed his job extremely well and was respectful to Bai Ye. Unexpectedly, he was the first to stand up and object at this time.

The fat middle-aged man lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, if only the national strength of the empire was damaged, I believe you can lead the people of the empire to glory again, but now...the national destiny of the empire has been greatly damaged. The late emperor's heroic spirit cannot find any connection with the empire on White Moon... Isn't it better to solve this problem first? "

He spoke carefully for fear of offending Bai Ye, and the rest of the people who came forward did the same, nodding along with him.

Before Bai Ye could speak, the person who stepped forward was another speaker, also the hand of the three major speakers, Lan Youshan of the Lan family.

As the grandfather of the third prince and the late fourth prince, Lan Youshan was supposed to protect the remaining third prince to the death. When the third prince came to power, he would dominate the government, and when the third prince failed, he would step down sadly. However, everyone knows that since the previous incident, Lan Youshan has not had a good relationship with the third prince. Not to mention their full support, they have even lost their family ties.

But what others didn't expect was that Lan Youshan quickly "defected" to Her Highness the Princess, and Her Highness the Princess continued to reuse the old man regardless of past grudges.

Lan Youshan said in a deep voice: "Nowadays, the heroes of the past emperors are unstable, and a new majesty is needed to lead the empire out of the quagmire. Her Highness the Princess is the best choice - what's more, even if no one ascends the throne, the current situation will not be the same. It will get better, it will only continue to get worse.”

He lowered his head: "I, Lan Youshan, implore Her Royal Highness the Princess to inherit the throne and bring new changes to the empire."

Glenn von Braun simply knelt down on the ground: "Her Royal Highness Princess inherits the throne, which is what people want, but now, the heroic spirits of the previous emperors continue to appear, and they are warning us! I think it is Her Royal Highness Princess who is still young. "Little... I boldly ask Her Majesty the Princess to postpone her enthronement until the Moon Palace is completely elevated and the heroic spirits gradually calm down, so that we can act again."

"Absurd!" Lan Youshan was immediately furious. As the head of the three major speakers, he was quite powerful. At this moment, he was glaring with eyebrows, and many people did not dare to look at him.

"A country cannot live without a king for a day!" Lan Youshan glared at von Braun, "If you ask me, Her Royal Highness the Princess should have ascended the throne a long time ago. But she remembered the people who were killed and injured in the war, the late Emperor and other princes who died. This He took the initiative to postpone it. Now that the empire is in dire straits, it is exactly the time when a queen is needed. How can the matter about the heroic spirit affect Her Royal Highness's succession to the throne? "

Lan Youshan suddenly attacked, and Von Braun looked embarrassed. At this moment, the other two people stood up.

One of them had blazing eyes and a serious expression. He was the Great Governor Jude, the leader of the Ilia Administrative Region. After the incident in the Imperial Capital, he arrived with reinforcements. He did not fight a battle, but he became a quite powerful army. Now he is also in the Imperial Capital. Everyone respects you.

The other person is a veteran nobleman in the Imperial City, the Marquis Chaon Garcia. In the past, he kept a low profile in the Imperial City, but everyone knows that he is inextricably linked to the Yuhu City Administrative Region, one of the three major administrative regions. , to a certain extent, he has a close relationship with the second prince back then.

The two men also lowered their heads respectfully. Governor Jude advised: "The heroic spirits are related to the destiny of the country. It is the past emperors who guide us in the dark. In my opinion, it is better to take the throne slowly. Your Highness, after all, the Heroic Spirits have not figured out what they mean. If they ascend the throne rashly, the Heroic Spirits will be furious, and the fate of the empire may be in trouble. "

Marquis Garcia also said: "My opinion is the same - and the palace collapsed and has not been repaired yet. It is better to take this opportunity to rebuild the palace. When the moon palace is clear and the palace is restored, I believe that the heroic spirits can also see Her Royal Highness the Princess. What you did will be more...justifiable then, won't it?"

Lan Youshan was furious again: "The palace collapsed completely. Not to mention the empire that is now severely weakened. Even in its heyday, it would have taken several years to rebuild the palace. Has our huge empire always been without a monarch?!"

"Yes, Speaker Lan..."

Suddenly, the high-ranking officials and nobles in the audience were divided into two parties, and it was clear what each party supported.

Behind Bai Ye, in addition to the people from his own faction, are the military and Lan Youshan's family. However, some of the "thorny heads" died or were expelled, which gave other forces a chance to take over. Now they are standing The opposite of white leaves.

And they naturally need a reason to stand on the opposite side of Bai Ye, and that reason is the "heroic spirit" mentioned all the time.

For some unknown reason, the evil dome above the imperial capital kept dissipating, and the sun and the moon began to gradually appear. The imperial family of the empire has always had a rule that after the death of a member of the royal family, various rituals must be performed to help their souls embark on the road to the moon.

Just like the national emblem, the moon is also the belief of the entire empire.

However, after the evil dome dissipated and the moon could be clearly observed, something strange happened in the ruins of the imperial palace.

A correct version of the book in 16-9!

It was the place where the tablets of the previous emperors were stored before, and various strange things kept happening. At the same time, the eunuchs who were sent to sort out the ruins were "leaning over" one after another.

This possession was interpreted by many people as the inspection of the previous emperor and the instability of the national destiny. What made this statement completely true was another thing. The twelfth prince, who was not old enough to inherit the throne, was also possessed.

The person who possessed him was the second emperor of the empire and one of the founding emperors.

What she said was just the implicit meaning of what those people said just now: the current empire's national fortune has been damaged and is not enough to support the new emperor to take office. Instead of forcing the throne, it is better to wait for the heroic spirits of the previous emperors to complete the ceremony in the Moon Palace and make up for the national fortune.

The most unacceptable point of all this for Bai Ye is...

She has investigated and it is true.
