Counting on your fingers, the fifth marriage is coming

When a piece of bright yellow hem came into their lowered vision, the officials felt their bodies stiff and their legs ached. They crawled on the ground, sweating profusely.

I was so careless...

I forgot the rumors that this goddess was invincible, cruel and ruthless, and killed people everywhere. With a wave of her hand, she wiped out Prince Yu and his army, and all the people from the Xuanmen who were besieging her were almost wiped out.

The rumors might be a little exaggerated, but they are definitely not groundless...right?

It’s over, it’s over. I can’t move at all. My body is as stiff as a rock. I can only be slaughtered at will.

If they mess with her, would it be considered as messing with the devil?
When they thought of this, their eyelids started twitching and they were terrified.

Could she be so cruel that she would start a massacre in Shenwu Gate?

"Today is the lunar calendar. It is a good day to get rid of bad luck and bring in the new. Should I follow the will of heaven or act according to the law?"

Jingguo is a country that likes to look at the almanac, and almost every household has an old almanac.

Its contents include the 24 solar terms, good and bad luck, clashes, the heavenly stems and earthly branches, etc. It doesn't matter if you don't understand the profound content. They mainly want to take a look at the good and bad luck of each day to arrange things and have peace of mind.

They quickly recalled the almanac they had looked at before going out, and then discovered to their horror that everything she said was true.

It is not suitable to go out today. You should clean and wash the house at home to drive away disasters and bad luck.

From what this "fake emperor" said, if it were according to the customs of Jing Kingdom, they would be regarded as unlucky and "expelled" by her today, and they would be doomed.

But if we follow the laws of the Kingdom of Jing...they are now openly disrespecting the emperor, blocking the palace gates, and speaking outrageously, so it seems like they are doomed to die, right?
So, what is the difference between the two?
However, if I didn't miss it... there seems to be a sentence "handle it at your discretion", right?
A rush of hot blood rushed to my brain.

He hurriedly tried to make excuses, no, hurriedly "explain" his reckless behavior. As long as his story was reasonable enough, he would not deserve the death penalty.

Besides, there is an old saying, oh, the law cannot hold everyone responsible.

If there are "soft persimmons" in this world, there must also be "hard bones".

A sturdy military general who held a low official position but had a very inflated mentality opened his eyes wide, looking fearless.

He shouted in public.

"Even if you kill me, I will never admit that you are Emperor Yue. Why do you think you can deceive the officials and the people of the world so openly and that we should recognize you and obey you?"

"I just won't accept it—"

bang——

Something suddenly exploded before my eyes, red and white, red and white, watery and sticky, all mixed together and splashed everywhere, spraying hot liquid all over the faces of those around me.

Disgusted, frightened, and terrified, the headless corpse made all the officials' faces turn pale in an instant, their eyes widened with fear, and their pupils contracted rapidly.

"S-please spare my life..."

vomit--

Someone vomited.

Someone fainted.

Some people's clothes on their backs were soaked with sweat, and they looked like they would collapse to the ground in the next second.

"Why do you ask?"

Xu Shanshan's eyes were dark and unfathomable. She smiled gently and said in a calm tone: "Because you have no choice but to believe."

"Do you really dare to kill everyone here?"

Wang Xiang stretched his neck and tried to look Xu Shanshan in disbelief, wanting to see if she was just bluffing or if she really had the guts to do it. How would she deal with killing all the officials at once, even if she was the emperor? Putting aside her reputation, could she manage such a huge country like Jing alone?

He bet she didn't dare and wouldn't!
Xu Shanshan slowly spread out his hands, waved his long sleeves like a breeze, and put his hands behind his back. His gaze downward was breathtaking, and his majestic aura made people dare not slack off in the slightest.

"With my power, I can either kill you or turn you into puppets that obey my orders completely. From now on, you will not have your own thoughts and will only act under my control until this broken body is worn out and you can die."

W-what?
Is there any chance of such a trick?!
They suddenly felt as if they had fallen into an endless ice cave, with the chill running up their spines and every hair standing on end.

"Wait a minute, we can discuss it, why do we have to make such a big fuss?" Wang Xiang softened his momentum: "Besides, puppets are not as good as living people."

Perhaps death is not the most terrifying thing now. The terrifying thing is that they are still alive, but they are equivalent to being dead, and even if they are "dead", they still have to work hard for her... Thinking of this, they will die with their eyes open.

Xu Shanshan seemed to be interested all of a sudden. She was thinking: "But I think it would be less troublesome to use a group of puppets who obey my orders rather than a group of people who say one thing and mean another..."

Do not--

This frightened all the court officials, for they could see that the "Emperor Yue" before them had no mercy, righteousness, or benevolence at all towards them.

"How can we be worry-free when the puppet is stupid? Your Majesty has to think and arrange everything. What's the use of us ministers?" The civil official wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and argued.

"The puppets are too rigid. Leading troops in battle depends on the generals' flexibility and the ability to adapt to circumstances at all times. They are absolutely not capable of this." Wu Chen clenched his fists, trying his best to turn the tide.

It seems that Young General Huo is about to draw his sword, ready to use force to suppress this group of officials who have no respect for their elders.

Normally they would be like "when there is no tiger in the mountain, the monkey becomes king", but now that His Majesty has returned, they still dare to be so arrogant. His Huo family will never tolerate it.

But he didn't expect that His Majesty's combination of "a show of power" and "killing a chicken to scare the monkey" would finally strangle their vital points, and easily subdue these people, leaving him no chance to play at all.

Young General Huo looked towards Emperor Yue, his handsome and calm face showing a hint of smile.

Your Majesty looks so young, but he is very experienced in manipulating people, even more cunning than the old foxes in the court.

"Don't worry, the puppets I made are not wooden men, but living dead men who can think independently, do things, and obey orders."

She smiled at them, and the life and death of these people became uncertain.

Help! Help! She looked as if she really cared about their lives.

"Who dares to stop my grandson from entering the palace?"

At this time, a team of imperial guards rushed out from the front of Shenwu Gate, escorting a graceful old lady. The old lady was furious and glanced at them sharply, but the next second, her expression suddenly froze.

Confuse?

Not sure?

meditation……

Who could tell her why all the civil and military officials were kneeling on the ground and unable to get up, and why they were all scared like quails?

"The Empress Dowager—"

The moment they saw the Empress Dowager appear, everyone felt as if they had seen a life-saving straw, and their excited, high-pitched shouts were choked with sobs and turned into shrouded voices.

Help!

"Ugh?"

Now it was the Empress Dowager's turn to be confused. (End of this chapter)
