After crossing over, I was favored by the villain

Jiaolan had retracted her evil spirit and heard what Jin Yan said. She couldn't help but lead the way in applauding, "Sister Yan is right, well said. This old immortal should be skinned and his tendons pulled out to serve as a warning to others!"

With Guerlain taking the lead, others also started to applaud. Even Mingcheng, for some reason, started to applaud along with everyone else.

Jin Yan took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and bowed to Ming Cheng, "Your Highness, don't worry. The Fu Hu Army is just outside the Royal City. Your Highness will receive good news soon."

"Fu Hu Army?" Master Yue collapsed on the ground, realizing that he had lost his last trump card and would not be able to escape death today. He fainted from anger. He was also the only one who could not feel the pain of beheading.

Ming Cheng asked the guard who brought the news to leave temporarily, but he stared at Jin Yan for a long while before saying, "I will sit here and wait for the good news you said."

In just two quarters of an hour, a guard came to report the news, "Report!"

The guard kowtowed to Mingcheng and said, "Your Majesty, the thirty soldiers of the Black Iron Army who were at the gate of the city have been captured by the Fuhu Army. The remaining cavalry have surrendered and are waiting for your dispatch in Tongliao County."

Ming Cheng was overjoyed after hearing this, and subconsciously looked at Jin Yan who was in a daze beside him. This man was able to plan and strategize, and knew everything about the world, so he must be a capable person.

"Good! Summon the Fuhu Army into the palace."

The sky brightened, as if all the noise of last night had been washed away by the light. Mingcheng changed into royal clothes, with Queen Yuanying sitting beside him. Although Mingcheng was still a little weak, he still insisted on presiding over today's affairs.

Jin Yan and others were waiting in the palace for the arrival of other ministers. Ming Cheng deliberately blocked the news of the palace coup last night and hung the heads of the five men outside the palace. The ministers who entered the palace to attend the court saw this and roughly guessed the reason.

There were also several old ministers who, when they saw Ming Cheng sitting on the throne, knelt down and crawled towards him, expressing their loyalty to Ming Cheng.

Those flattering words made Jin Yan yawn several times in succession.

However, there were also a few people who were discussing the issue, and no one knew why.

"Go up!"

"Long live our king, long live our king!"

Ming Cheng sat high on the throne and waved his sleeves, "My dear ministers, please stand up."

After the eunuch saw that the ministers were standing steadily, he began to read the imperial edict of Mingcheng, "In compliance with the will of heaven, my king decrees that last night the former king Minglong was persecuted by Yue Guoshi and others, and was arrested by my king and executed on the spot. His head was hung outside the palace as a warning to others. The former king Minglong allowed his subjects to commit evil and was unworthy of being a king. He has been arrested by my king and will be executed on a certain day. My king cares about his subjects and hopes that his subjects will protect the people and benefit the people."

The ministers bowed again and said, "We must set an example and benefit the people."

"In addition, the story that our king was persecuted in the past is nonsense. Now the title of the Five Saints is restored, and the guilt is removed. He is restored to freedom and can freely enter and leave the territory of Jiyun. I decree this."

This sentence made several ministers look up, "Five Saints? Are they back?"

Looking at Jiaolan and the others sitting high up, several others expressed disbelief, "Your Majesty, the Five Saints cannot return to the court."

Ming Cheng looked at the minister who was speaking, a neutral person in the court, and asked, "Why did Minister Yin Wen say that?"

"The Five Saints in the country will cause panic among the people, which is not conducive to the king's governance of the country and is likely to cause unnecessary trouble. Please think twice."

"I second the motion. The Five Saints' identities as demon cultivators have become a thorn in the hearts of the people. Although there are many demon cultivators in the Northern Wilderness, they have not been able to coexist with the righteous for many years. Many counties and prefectures have reported that demon cultivators have injured people everywhere. If the king restores the Five Saints' positions and uses them, it may be detrimental to the king's governance of the country, lest it backfire."

"I second the proposal."

"I also second my opinion."

Mingcheng looked at several ministers who stood up. They were all important officials in the court, headed by Yin Wenxiang. They were loyal and would serve the people wholeheartedly no matter who the monarch was.

"I have only cleared a few people of their guilt, and have not said that I will restore their positions. My dear minister, please do not panic."

After listening to this, Yin Wenxiang didn't say anything more. After he left, the others followed suit.

Mingcheng looked at Jiaolan with a guilty conscience, but Jiaolan smiled and said, "We are used to being free and undisciplined, and we have no intention of devoting ourselves to the court. You guys don't have to embarrass the king."

Yin Wenxiang flicked his sleeves and didn't bother to talk to Guerlan. Guerlan didn't mind and ate the fruit next to her wantonly.

Mingcheng lowered his eyes. It seemed that he had to wait until the court was over before discussing these matters. Business was more important.

"General Xuanchuan enters the palace."

The ministers waited for a moment, and Yuchuan, wearing armor, tied up Yi Guang and threw him to the ground. His mouth was also stuffed with cloth so that he could not speak. Yuchuan saluted Mingcheng and said, "Your Majesty, Yi Guang brought troops into the city without permission. The Fuhu Army has controlled the Xuantie Army in the royal city, and the remaining cavalry are willing to surrender. Please convict him."

Yuchuan's appearance caused a lot of discussion among the ministers. Not only him, but even Shuyan and Fangtian followed closely. After everyone gathered together, Mingcheng smiled with satisfaction and said, "General Chuan, you have worked hard. Please take a seat."

Yuchuan was given a seat, and Shuyan and Fang Tian also stood behind Jiaolan.

Ming Cheng announced, "Yi Guang, you brought the Black Iron Army into the royal city without permission. Do you know your crime?"

The people below pulled the cloth out of Yi Guang's mouth, and he spat fiercely a few times, "Your Majesty, I want to see His Majesty Long. Without His Majesty Long's handwritten letter, the Black Iron Army cannot return to the court."

"Oh?" Ming Cheng sneered and looked at the eunuch next to him, "Go, bring Ming Long up."

The ministers were talking about it and asking about what happened last night. Some of them who heard some rumors last night told others about it, and then everyone understood the reason.

Minglong was brought up, but was pushed up. He was paralyzed, his speech was slurred, his hands and feet were weak, and only his eyes were darting around, as if he had suffered a stroke. Not to mention testifying for Yi Guang, it was even difficult for Minglong to speak a word. He could only wait patiently for Mingcheng on the throne.

"Your Highness Long? How could this happen?"

"Weren't you fine yesterday?"

Jin Yan's eyes widened. [As expected, the more love there is between brothers, the more hatred there is. Ming Long is in this state. I'm afraid Ming Cheng will not only take his life, but will even blame everything on Ming Long. Tsk tsk tsk, he will suffer the consequences if he does evil.]

Ming Cheng sneered, "Ming Long had a stroke and became paralyzed last night. I was deeply distressed, so I specially asked Shu Yan to treat him last night."

After hearing this, Shuyan bowed and said, "Your Majesty, His Highness Long has been suffering from a hidden illness for many years. If it relapses one day, I'm afraid he will have difficulty recovering."

Mingcheng nodded with satisfaction, and the ministers looked at each other and started discussing.

"Everyone knows that Shuyan is the most powerful doctor in the entire Jiyun Kingdom. If she says that it is incurable, then it is useless..."

"How could this happen? Yesterday, His Highness Shang Long was still sitting firmly on the throne."

Yin Wenxiang, who had been silent all this time, looked at Mingcheng on the throne with a fierce look in his eyes.

It was fleeting, but was captured by Jin Yan.

[Yin Wenxiang? Ha, the old-fashioned man who loves to give advice the most in the original novel. He hated all the demon cultivators because his beloved daughter eloped with a demon cultivator. He was willing to continue to serve as an official in the court only after Minglong ordered the expulsion of the Five Saints. In fact, he was just satisfying his own selfish desires.]

[I don't know what will happen to Jiyun Country in the future. It all depends on whether Mingcheng will target the demon cultivators like Minglong did.]
