Sheng Fu

Chapter 1206 Entering the Palace
Lingdu.

The once magnificent night scene is now only covered in silver, and even the Nine-Colored Pool has been transformed into an ink-wash landscape.

The capital city is gloomy, and so are people's hearts.

Linghe Prince's Mansion.

Tang De, Qiu Yu, and other high-ranking officials of the court all came to this once least popular royal residence.

Inside the mansion, the officials, their faces weathered and worn, looked at each other in bewilderment, and there was no sound of discussion, for they did not know where to begin their discussion.

"Should we really make Yuwen Jun, this outsider, the regent of our Ling Clan?" After a long silence, an old minister with azure eyes stepped forward and asked.

Upon hearing this, King Linghe, seated on his throne, rested his head on one hand, narrowed his eyes slightly, and a sharp killing intent swept past, instantly beheading the old minister.

At this point, the mansion fell into complete silence.

King Linghe then slowly spoke, "His Majesty's decree has been proclaimed to the entire Ling Clan. Do you still have any doubts? Or do you mean that after His Majesty's passing, you can all cause trouble without restraint?"

King Linghe was well aware that many powerful figures within the Ling Clan had completely lost faith in the future of the clan, and at this very moment, there were quite a few who wanted to betray the country and collude with the enemy.

Moreover, this group of people who colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country were all wealthy individuals.

The ministers' eyes fell on Tang De and Qiu Yu.

Qiu Yu glanced at his colleagues out of the corner of his eye, his heart filled with mixed feelings.

The new policies of the human race benefit the common people, but not the nobles.

Some time ago, Your Majesty also intentionally or unintentionally promoted the new policies on a small scale, wanting to gradually implement the new policies throughout the Spirit Clan world in a slow and gradual manner.

Regent Yuwen Jun would never implement new policies through a slow and gradual approach.

However, things have come to this point, and these civil officials no longer have the same say as before. Yuwen Jun can make decisions on many matters on his own.

The old nobles felt heartbroken when they thought about these things.

Qiu Yu suddenly stood up, clasped his hands in a gesture of respect, and said, "Does the Regent mean to hold the coronation ceremony first? Then the state funeral will have to be postponed? Isn't that inappropriate?"

Qiu Yu's voice broke the stagnant silence of the Prince's mansion.

Upon hearing this, King Linghe raised his chin slightly. He understood Yuwen Jun's meaning: to first allow Bei Hanyong to ascend the throne and support the new ruler with overwhelming force, thus temporarily stabilizing the internal affairs of the Ling Clan.

A state funeral has far-reaching implications, and the manpower and financial resources required are secondary. The main concern is that it might directly crush the already dwindling morale and fighting spirit of the Eldar.

King Linghe lowered his eyes slightly and said, "The Regent and I still need to discuss this matter carefully. Everything will be based on the Regent's will. I estimate that the Regent will arrive at the Ling Palace soon."

"I know what you're all thinking."

"But what I want to tell you is that only Yuwen Jun can be the regent. Anyone else who becomes regent will face certain death."

"His Majesty's wisdom is beyond your comprehension."

The ministers remained silent, knowing that an absolute dictatorship would soon be in effect.

……

Dream Capital.

Bei Hanfei held the new emperor in her arms and sat around a table with Bei Hanmeng, Gu Cheng, and Chu Yu. The four of them had solemn and somber expressions.

The sudden death of His Majesty in battle has left not only them but the entire Spirit Clan in shock, and they will not recover for a long time to come.

The four were lost in a daze, their thoughts unfocused, unsure of what to do. They seemed to have suddenly become walking corpses.

The void surged, and Yuwen Jun, Jing Peiyao, Huo Mu, and Qingyue arrived.

"Big brother!" Chu Yu suddenly looked up, her eyes filled with confusion and shock.

Yuwen Jun gave Chu Yu a powerful look, then said to Bei Hanfei and Bei Hanmeng, "Come with me into the Spirit Palace, we will discuss matters tonight."

"Emotions can run rampant and have an endless impact on one's mood, but as long as you keep busy, you will gradually become numb."

Bei Hanfei looked down at the baby in the swaddling clothes. His eyes were bright and lively, revealing a powerful and innocent spirit. Bei Hanfei felt sad. He was so young, yet he had to sit in that chair.

"Let's go," Yuwen Jun said, emphasizing his words slightly.

Bei Hanfei and Bei Hanmeng then got up, and in a moment the world turned upside down, and the group arrived at the Hall of Ten Thousand Spirits.

Yuwen Jun slowly approached Bei Hanfei, looking at the child in her arms with a gentle and heart-wrenching expression. She gently activated a wisp of Chaos True Essence, resonating with Bei Hanyong's aura, and then drawing out the aura of all living beings.

With a wave of his sleeve, a myriad of spiritual energy resonated with the chaotic energy, instantly illuminating the entire hall. Auspicious light suddenly billowed across the sky above the Spirit Palace. Yuwen Jun secretly circulated his power of nothingness, infinitely expanding this magnificent aura.

In an instant, it illuminated the entire night sky of the Spirit Race world.

Whether kings and generals or commoners, everyone felt a magnificent and unparalleled Taoist aura.

"Is this the aura of all spirits and the aura of chaos?" Deep in the mountains of the southwest, an elderly cultivator looked up at the magnificent scene in the night sky and murmured in amazement.

"That's interesting, but it's a pity the child is too young!" In a noble mansion in the capital, looking at the magnificent Daoist aura above the night sky, he had a playful expression.

"..."

Inside the Hall of Ten Thousand Spirits.

Yuwen Jun looked down at the baby in the swaddling clothes. The baby had an innocent expression and a cute smile. The little guy was unaware of the enormous potential he possessed. He just felt that the surroundings were very lively, as if an indescribable journey was waiting for him to embark on.

Yuwen Jun looked at the supreme throne behind him and said softly to his master's wife, "Holding the child and sitting on that throne, you must show your power and not show weakness. Your master's wife's eyes should be all-encompassing and have the ambition to conquer the world!"

"This is the time to support the child, and also the time to support the entire Spirit Clan."

She understood the reasoning, but Bei Hanfei found it difficult to adjust her mindset in a short time.

Seeing this, Yuwen Jun gently reminded him, "Just imagine that His Majesty and Master Gu Yong are in some unknown place, sitting around a table, looking down at everything here."

Upon hearing this, Bei Hanfei's heart surged with emotion, and she slowly walked up to the supreme throne while holding the child.

Then Yuwen Jun called out loudly towards the outside of the main hall: "Court officials, enter the palace to discuss matters."

Its sound was like thunder, echoing and stretching across the night sky of Lingdu.

After he finished speaking, King Linghe entered the main hall and, seeing Bei Hanfei holding the new emperor on the throne, immediately knelt down and said, "Your subject pays respects to the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty!"

Ling and Wang's eyes were resolute, and they knelt on the ground, refusing to rise.

As long as he remains kneeling here, the other officials who come after him will also kneel down and not get up.

Upon witnessing this scene, Bei Hanmeng instantly forgot all her previous prejudices against Ling and the King. Consequently, Bei Hanmeng also performed the grand kowtow and knelt on the ground.

Yuwen Jun looked at Huo Mu and Qing Yue and secretly transmitted his voice, saying, "You two should stay behind the throne and listen for now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Mu and Qing Yue arrived behind the throne.

After a long while, slow or light footsteps gradually entered the Hall of Ten Thousand Spirits.
