Chapter 437 Who Can Declare Rebellion in Front of the King?
My defense is broken.
I am so angry.
This world is full of persecution of pharmacists.
I have been crying until now.
I am already emo.
Unfortunately, no matter how much I say now, it will only make things worse. Therefore, Ji Ming, who is speechless, has learned the wisdom of RTS game players - when in doubt, just ignore it.
I simply don't make any explanations and leave everything to time to prove. Anyway, I, Ji Ming, am upright and have never done anything bad.
However, he will refuse that unknown person not only because he doesn't want to get involved, but also because he really has something to do at night.
It is now mid-May, and more than half a month has passed since the royal assessment at the beginning of the month.
The winners will be announced tonight. Although Ji Ming already knows the winner, he still has to show his face.
"Let's go, let's go to the Sun Castle."
Ji Ming, who got on the carriage issued by the academy and enjoyed the employee benefits, successfully arrived at the Sun Castle before Qixia City was completely plunged into the night.
The stars are shining tonight, and there are crowds of people tonight.
Before he even had time to enter the door, Ji Ming had already seen several heavyweight nobles standing at the door to greet each other.
If it were in the past, Ji Ming, who had many friends but not much, would have gone down to talk to them and show his excellent qualities as a sunny person.
But now he would only take off all the eye-catching halos and accessories, and then use suggestion to reduce his presence and sneak in.
——It's boring, these are just fools who can be played back and forth by others.
They can even do things like hiring the same group of players to guard the gate after the warehouse was secretly emptied by players.
Tang is really finished, chatting with them may reduce his IQ.
But since all subjects of the royal assessment have been completed at the beginning of the month, the only schedule tonight is to announce the identity of the winner.
Although this thing is very important and may directly change the current situation of multi-party competition, how much time can it take to read a name?
It's not like the Oscars, where multiple awards can be set up, and there can be performances by celebrities in between, so you can easily spend several hours on the water.
So according to the customs of the Glowing Capital, the soup base of this announcement ceremony is still their favorite dinner, which focuses on a rich and diverse social gameplay.
And because this banquet is held once a year, all the great people from all walks of life, including the king, will attend, so the scale and pomp are directly top-notch.
In other words, not only food, drink and rest are provided, but also some men and women dancing and spinning in circles are arranged to prevent these ditch things from being able to make an appointment for a card game.
What's more terrible is that this is really not Ji Ming's black fart. Let's not talk about anything else, just the old Deng, the Sun King, his dance partner every year basically flies to the branch.
"What a bullshit art, it's a mess."
Randomly picked a few places in the venue to show his face, signaling to everyone that the God's Chosen has arrived, and Ji Ming found a corner to hide.
It was a coincidence, maybe because the bystander sees more clearly, he was quiet and found that someone seemed to have the same idea as him, maintaining a noble indifference.
So he went down the stairs and quietly came to the second floor of this auditorium-like building, and knocked on one of the doors according to the position he had chosen before.
There was no movement behind the door, but the waiter waiting in the corridor came over immediately and whispered.
"Hello, sir, there is a distinguished guest behind the door. You cannot enter without his invitation."
"..."
Logically speaking, those who can work in such a place should have seen some storms.
But although the man in front of him hid it because of his professional ethics, the look in his eyes was still a little too panicked...
However, Ji Ming did not embarrass a waiter, but took out an empty bottle from his arms and stuffed it into the other's hand.
"Give this to him... Okay, don't be afraid, just hold it in your hand and let him take a look."
After that, he turned and left.
But before he finished walking through the corridor, he heard hurried footsteps behind him.
"Sir, sir... sir said you can go in!"
"Don't worry."
Stopping the sweaty waiter, Ji Ming let him take a breath before speaking.
"Friend, you are just fulfilling your duties as a service staff, what is there to be afraid of?"
As he said, he touched a gold coin to him.
"So on the contrary, I will give you another small reward to reward your dedication to your job."
"Ah?"
The waiter was stunned when he heard it, holding the gold coin like a child who accidentally caught a cicada but was so scared that he forgot how to throw it away.
But you can't blame him for being timid, after all, the sir just now changed his face immediately after seeing the bottle, and it was too scary to ask him to call the person back quickly.
Not to mention that serving the emperor is like serving a tiger, even if the King of Hell can show mercy for the sake of face, the little ghost who is eager to flatter on the side will not miss this opportunity to please the leader.
If this is not handled properly...
"Just take it, I am God's chosen one, you will be fine."
Putting the waiter on a chair beside him, Ji Ming took out the halo from his arms and put it on his head.
This time, he knocked on the door again, and there was movement behind the door immediately.
Nodding to the cold-faced guard who was responsible for opening the door, Ji Ming first took a look at the layout of this private stand.
As a result, before he could see clearly, he heard a sullen voice.
"What are you looking at? My woman will never let you look at it a second time!"
That adult is of course the Sun King Anton VI, and he is actually more "terrifying" than Ji Ming imagined.
So much so that Ji Ming nodded, and after looking around, he extended his hand to signal.
"Yes, so are these all your men?"
That's right, not only did this guy not burn buns and walk around the venue to catch the little girl today, he didn't even bring any dry food in his private room.
In the entire space, apart from the Sun King himself, there were more than a dozen fully armed male guards, and there was no scent of rouge in the air.
This is very abnormal!
"You are the chosen one. You don't need to worry about what the king does!"
The Sun King naturally knew that he was not normal like this, so after hearing Ji Ming's strange words, his beard was so angry that his beard was trembling.
After calming down for a while, I used my fingers to hold the empty medicine bottle that had no drop left in it, but could still see the red empty medicine bottle hanging on the wall.
"I should ask you, who are you disgusting with, huh?"
"Aren't you afraid that you won't let me in, so I'll ask the waiter to hand you a token for me?"
Since he was a distinguished guest named by the king, no matter whether his attitude was bickering or complimenting, the guards still moved a seat for him.
Sitting side by side next to the Sun King, Ji Ming took off his halo and looked down at the outside of the stands.
I have to say that this old man really enjoys it. This should be the best viewing seat in the auditorium. Not only is it facing the stage, but you can also see most of the people in the venue.
The banquet had already started for a while, but before the important events began, the stage had to do its job once again and warm up the place with a round of dance.
So now the stage is full of elegantly dressed aristocrats, fighting against each other to the live performance of the band, dancing like a ballroom dance like spinning teacups.
Among them are many of Ji Ming's acquaintances, whether they are students, colleagues, or other "drinking buddies" met at banquets, they are almost all of the same virtue.
"Tsk..."
Unable to help but snort, Ji Ming spoke again.
"Oh, by the way, I'm afraid you've forgotten that I've already given the waiter a reward in advance for his dedication to his job. You don't need to give it later."
How could the Sun King not understand what he meant? He laughed when he heard the words.
"What, are you trying to buy people's hearts? You want to rebel, right?"
If he were an ordinary person, he would definitely not make such a joke, and it might scare people to death, but Ji Ming was obviously an exception.
He could even smile at him and express his feelings openly.
"It's vulgar! If you rebel, you have to kill people. How can you make money by killing people? I am a kind-hearted person. I will fight to the death and usurp my position."
After that, he began to discuss in detail how, as an outsider, he should seek power to usurp the throne and claim the throne of the Sun.
The general design idea is to pay tribute to the legendary and loving mother Wu Zetian, first choose a princess who is still a bit human as a springboard, and fully support her to rise to power.
Because the Queen is already completely under his control, what he needs to do next will be easier to do, just strip away the power bit by bit.
If she misses her old feelings, let her live for two more years. If she doesn't miss her old feelings, find a reason and kill her directly.
If you want to be shameless, you should first support a small person to transition to the throne. If you are shameless, you can skip this process and directly ascend the throne!
Although the Sun King's face was always uncertain, he still listened quietly to Ji Ming's plan to usurp the throne.
But when the guards around him heard such rebellious remarks, they were almost frightened.
If His Majesty the King hadn't given the order, he would have rushed forward with righteous indignation and strangled Ji Ming, the rebellious minister and traitor.
But no means no, Ji Ming said the last sentence without incident.
"Wuhu, in today's territory, the world of the Ji family belongs to us!"
Seeing that no one responded, he very enthusiastically raised his hand to the Sun King, who had become the false emperor of the previous dynasty.
"Don't just show off your shameful face. If you have something to say, just say it. How do you evaluate it?"
The Sun King was silent and took out a handkerchief, but after wiping the sweat on his forehead, his voice was still a little trembling.
"I really want to chop off your head..."
Facing the king's fury, Ji Ming remained unmoved and even asked in anticipation.
"Then why didn't you chop it?"
Now the Sun King was completely enraged and slapped the table.
"...Damn it, because in all my life, I have never seen a thief discuss with his master how to steal his house!"
After saying that, although he still held the handkerchief tightly, he still motioned to the surrounding guards to relax and take their hands away from the hilt of his sword.
Then he exhaled, so that his already crazy high blood pressure would go down quickly.
For a long time, I held my forehead.
"I know what you mean. You want to remind me to let all this settle as soon as possible, right?"
But when it comes to the succession of the throne, this matter is too sharp. Ji Ming, who can only beat around the bush, naturally wants to carry out the Riddler to the end.
"Maybe, if you don't want to be flooded after you die."
But if Anton's determination could be made so simply, he wouldn't have been struggling for so long.
So after he fell silent again, he could only leave a vague sentence.
"I'll think about it again and try to finalize this matter within a year!"
After all, this is an internal matter within the royal family. At this point, Ji Ming, as an outsider, has nothing to say.
I can only urge you symbolically.
"The sooner the better."
As soon as he said this, he realized that he seemed to have guessed the reason why Old Deng was so abiding today.
——He was probably worried that if he didn't abstain from sex, he might not live to see the day when he made up his mind!
Okay, if you have the ability...
The two of them were talking nonsense behind closed doors, and the crowd on the stage finally ended their social activities.
But the one who came on stage was not the Duke of Xiguang who was in charge of the army, nor the Duke of Huguang who was in charge of the money, but another smiling old man in red.
This old nobleman was the Duke of Moonlight. Although he was not as powerful as the previous two, he was more respected because of his seniority and good reputation.
His current position is roughly equivalent to that of the archbishop in the church, a peacemaker in the northeast, an old uncle in the capital, and his usual skill is "give me face".
So it is an old tradition of the royal family to host the reading ceremony. No one is provoked, and everyone is happy.
"Dear guests, dear friends, good evening..."
But after hearing this opening, Ji Ming felt that tonight might be a disaster.
Sure enough, it was just a bunch of nonsense afterwards. It was clearly stated that there were three main points, but after the first two were discussed, three extension points were added to the third one.
If there was no Internet in this world, Ji Ming would have suspected that this was written by an old man using AI.
Why is the format so standard and the emotions so stiff!
Babble, babble, babble, the same old talk went on for more than half an hour, leaving everyone speechless.
It was also thanks to this place facing the stage. If Ji Ming sat in the other side of the stand, he would probably see countless faces turned into sweating soybeans.
The Sun King on the side simply fell asleep and curled up on the sofa with his eyebrows lowered and his eyes closed.
I thought they were all asleep, but a sentence suddenly popped out.
"...Get used to it, this guy does this every year."
Then it was.
"…deliberately, he is a conservative person, he can't stand others messing around, and he is afraid that the younger generation will think he is too controlling and look down on him."
Finally, he added.
"…Just let him go, he won't live for many years anyway, just treat it as respect for the elderly."
Ji Ming has been silent, just silently sighing that there is such a thing?
There is nothing to say, I unilaterally announce the deprivation of Archbishop Tenis's status as the leader of the abstinence faction, and enthrone the Duke of Moonlight as the new chief abstinence officer.
Finally, when he was talking for nearly an hour, the ladies in high heels in the audience were almost unable to hold it.
The Duke of Moonlight, who was already panting, shaky, and needed a cane to support his body, reluctantly finished his speech.
The Sun King raised his eyelids, but did not sigh with relief, but sighed helplessly.
"Damn, this old man is almost dying... He could still talk for two hours last year!"
