"You promised me! You would protect her! But you didn't do it! You don't deserve her love!"
"Yes, I didn't do it. It was me who failed to protect her. Everything is my problem."
The Demon King looked at his biological brother calmly.
"But Duan Bo, why are your eyes filled with regret, why are your eyes filled with remorse and guilt?
As you said, everything is my responsibility. "
Duan Bo stared at the Demon Emperor.
Finally, Duan Bo closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and slowly loosened his fist.
The demon emperor's collar slowly slipped from Duan Bo's hand.
"We are all a waste."
Duan Bo took a few steps back and sat on the ground in despair.
“We all told her that we would protect her for the rest of our lives.
But finally.
But she died.
We are all trash..."
The Demon Emperor did not straighten his messy collar, but also sat on the ground, his left hand resting on the soft bed.
"So, in the next life, I will find her and I will spend my whole life to repay her.
But in this life, I will never let anything happen to Ye Shu again.
Brother, you know.
After all, Ye Xiang is born as a girl, and there has never been a female emperor in the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom from ancient times to the present.
And you can also see Ye Xiu's stubbornness, just like her mother.
Even if Ye Hao hits his head and is bleeding, Ye Hao will still not look back.
Ye Shu will go on regardless of everything.
What we can do is make this road smoother. "
"Must go through war?"
Duan Bo glanced at his brother.
"Bai Zhui, war will kill people, many, many people will die.
During the last war between humans and monsters, many of your brothers, many of our relatives and friends fell asleep. "
"What do you think?"
The Demon King asked rhetorically.
"The human race and the demon race can't just let it go. The two sides must have the best war to resolve their hatred."
Listening to the Demon King's words, Duan Bo closed his eyes and remained silent.
"Brother, you know it all too well in your heart.
As a daughter, Ye Hao will find it extremely difficult to fight for the throne even with your help.
If there is no war, the possibility of Ye Shu taking my position is not very high.
Although I am an emperor, whoever I want to be an emperor is not an emperor.
An emperor must conform to public opinion and must make the entire dynasty, both civil and military, submit to him!
And war is the best way to achieve meritorious service, and it is also the best time to form your own power! It’s the best time to win people’s hearts!
War is the greatest benefit to Ye Shu!
My decision to launch a second human-monster war may seem reckless, but I definitely made it after careful consideration. "
"I know, you're not that stupid." Duan Bo sighed, "If you were that stupid, even if she said she chose you, I would take her away!"
Duan Bo knew that, in fact, after the second human-monster war ended, the late emperor began to plan the second human-monster war.
However, due to the defeat at that time, the Ten Thousand Monsters Kingdom needed to recuperate, so it did not do much.
And when Bai Zhuan ascended to the throne, the entire Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom had recovered its vitality, and Bai Zhuan had been secretly preparing for this until now.
In fact, the Demon King wanted to start a war between humans and demons two years ago, but the last piece of the puzzle was still missing.
This piece of the puzzle is Duan Bo.
Duan Bo ignored the government affairs and just guarded his own three-acre land. He seemed to be indifferent to the world, but in fact he was not.
In fact, Duan Bo has been preparing a "dowry" for Ye Shu.
This dowry is the Dark Butterfly Pavilion. The Dark Butterfly Pavilion is an intelligence agency cultivated by Duan Bo himself. It has extremely high penetration into the Ten Thousand Laws World and the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdoms!
This dowry is the Dead Sea Tower, and all the dead soldiers inside are trained for Bai Yexiao.
They could easily give up their lives for Bai Yexiao.
This dowry is also 200,000 Lushu Dragon Blood Iron Cavalry! It is an army that breaks the formation, a division that can win thousands of victories!
As long as there is such an army, hope can be achieved in any desperate war.
This dowry is the staff one after another, the embryos of cultivating immortals one after another, and the secret chess one after another.
These people will appear in time when Bai Yexiao needs them most.
It can be said that as long as Duan Bo wants the throne of the Ten Thousand Monsters Kingdom, Duan Bo can immediately start a civil war among the Ten Thousand Monsters.
From the Demon King's point of view, even if he has been sitting on the throne for thousands of years, if Duan Bo wants his position, he may not be able to hold it.
But the Demon King was not worried at all.
Many people think that the Demon King is very bad for Duan Bo's senses.
really.
The Demon Emperor's senses towards Duan Bo are indeed not good, but this is not because Duan Bo threatens the Demon Emperor's position.
It's because Duan Bo and his daughter are too close.
For Ye Yan, it seems that he is not her father, but Duan Bo is her father.
This is the most uncomfortable place in the Demon King's heart.
As for the rest?
Those ministers kept playing, indicating that Duan Bo was secretly gathering strength and plotting evil intentions?
Whenever he saw this kind of memorial, the Demon Emperor would always laugh it off.
Without him, the Demon Emperor knew that his younger brother didn't care about the throne at all.
If you care, the person sitting in this position now is not you, but your brother!
Therefore, no matter how much Duan Bo's strength expands, the Demon Emperor doesn't care.
And because of the Demon Emperor's indifference, those who tried to sow discord between the Demon Emperor and Duan Bo, intending to cause civil strife among the demons, were completely helpless.
And because of the Demon Emperor's indifference, the courtiers were very afraid of Duan Bo, and these courtiers did not dare to go too far.
It can be said that it is because of the Demon King's indifference that the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom is as prosperous as it is today!
In the eyes of the Demon Emperor, the prosperity of an empire! It is to be transformed into an imperial combat power!
Those that Duan Bo mastered were all prepared for Ye Shu.
Because Duan Bo didn't trust anyone, he didn't trust his brother, and because the emperor's heart was unpredictable, who knew whether the demon emperor would sacrifice Ye Yu for his purpose.
I don't believe Ye Zong's brothers either.
Duan Bo just believed in himself.
Duan Bo only believed that he was the only one who would be good to Ye Yu.
When Ye Xiu grows up, he will take over as his own King of Southern Wilderness and live a happy life in the Southern Wilderness Kingdom he created.
And the things he left for Ye Shu would make no one dare to touch Ye Shu.
Duan Bo even had an idea, that is, when Ye Shu wants to fight for the throne, these things can also be used by Ye Shu.
Just as Duan Bo promised Ye Shu when he was a child: "No matter what you want, Ye Shu, your uncle will give it to you, even the sun in the sky."
Now, Ye Hao has entered the court, and Ye Hao has also passed the test of the Demon Emperor and Duan Bo.
Ye Hao showed great determination to his father and uncle.
The Demon Emperor and Duan Bo really wanted Bai Yehuang to give up and become her princess peacefully, but Bai Yehuang refused.
Now that things have happened, Ye Hao is fully qualified to fight for what she wants, and Bai Ye Hao will not look back.
Everything Duan Bo has prepared for Ye Shu can be taken out.
War is often the best way to accumulate merit!
If Ye Huang wants more power and the human race and the monster race start a war again, Ye Xiao will definitely go to the battlefield.
Ye Zong went to the battlefield, and Duan Bo couldn't stay out of it.
Duan Bo is the most powerful person in the world of monsters. He has mastered the huge resources of the world of monsters. The battle between humans and monsters cannot be without Duan Bo.
And as long as Duan Bo joins the battle, the last piece of the puzzle will actually be complete.
"Bai Zhui, you have said so much, just take a small part for Ye Shu.
In fact, what you think more about is the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Monsters. You just want me to join the war. Duan Bo said with a bitter smile.
"I am a father, but I am also the father of hundreds of millions of people in the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom." The Demon Emperor looked directly at Duan Bo, "Nothing I said to you is false, whether it is for the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom or Ye Whether it’s Yu or not, the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Monsters needs to go to war and needs you.”
"I always feel that His Majesty is threatening me." Duan Bo smiled.
"It's not a threat. You have the right to choose, and Ye Shu also has the right to choose." The Demon King also smiled, "It's just that the second human-monster war will definitely start, and Ye Shu will definitely participate in the war."
"..."
Duan Bo remained silent, wondering what he was thinking.
In the end, Duan Bo just bowed and said: "Whatever Ye Shu wants to do, I will do it. As for what your Majesty wants to do, I have no time to spare."
After saying that, Duan Bo turned around and left.
"Duanbo."
The Demon King stopped Duan Bo.
"In your opinion, would Ye Shu be a good emperor?"
"In my opinion... I don't want Ye Shu to be the emperor."
Duan Bodan said calmly.
"Instead, I want to ask you, if you can only choose one side between the hundreds of millions of people in the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom and Ye Zong, who will you choose?"
"..." The Demon King did not answer.
"This is the biggest difference between you and me."
Duan Bo glanced at the Demon King, his eyes filled with pity and contempt.
Looking at Duan Bo's retreating figure, the Demon King lowered his head and slowly closed his eyes...
"So, I am the damn emperor..."
...
No third person knew about the conversation between the Demon Emperor and Duan Bo in the palace.
Everything was so calm.
But everyone knows that behind this calm situation, just because of this conversation between the Demon King and Duan Bo, a huge storm will set off in the entire world.
The task of abolishing hereditary substitution of princes was over, and Bai Yehuang was no longer the director of the Conferment Verification Department.
The Minister of Civil Affairs is very good at assessing the situation.
Before the Demon Emperor's imperial edict came down, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel reported directly to the Demon Emperor, expressing his hope that Bai Yexu would be appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
In the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons, a third-grade official like the Minister of Civil Affairs needs the approval of the Demon Emperor.
The Demon Emperor refused, saying that this was not good. After all, this was his daughter. If his daughter became the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs in such a short period of time, he would not be able to convince everyone.
And there will be a lot of criticism among the people.
If it were an ordinary courtier, if he heard the Demon Emperor's rejection, he might just give up.
But who is this Mr. Li? He is a veteran in the court.
Lord Li quickly understood the meaning behind the Demon King.
As a result, Mr. Li kept writing letters as if he was desperate for his life, saying that Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess was really the best candidate for the Minister of Civil Service!
Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess has perfectly completed the task of abolishing hereditary injustice, and exposed the behavior of princes and princes that violated the laws of the Kingdom of Demons one after another.
Not only did it stop the losses of the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom in time, but it also had a certain deterrent effect on the civil and military officials of the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom.
And the common people can also see the clear side of the court.
Nowadays, the name of Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess is shouted among the people.
This is definitely what everyone expected!
Mr. Li even used his own personality to guarantee that Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess would be qualified for the position of Minister of Civil Affairs.
Otherwise, he will retire and return home.
And because of Mr. Li’s guarantee and Mr. Li’s persistence.
It was really difficult for the Demon Emperor to refuse him, so he reluctantly agreed to Bai Yehuang's appointment as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
And just when Bai Yexu confirmed the position of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Mr. Li had already half-footed his way into the cabinet...
As for the fight between Mr. Li and the Demon Emperor, there were also rumors about the recommendation of Bai Yexu as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
Many people secretly spat at Mr. Li and cursed him as a damn old man...
But it was Mr. Li's endorsement and persistence that helped the Demon Emperor clear away all suspicions of favoring his daughter.
It can only be said that Bai Yexiao is indeed capable!
Those who are capable live there.
This is the creed that Ten Thousand Monsters Kingdom has always believed in.
Bai Yehuang did not violate this rule...
All in all, Bai Yexu's promotion this time was reasonable and reasonable, and no one could find any fault with it.
Even if there is something wrong, it is the fault of the Minister of Civil Affairs.
As a result, Bai Yehuang set a new record for promotion in the Ten Thousand Monsters Kingdom. No one was promoted faster than Bai Yehuang...
Bai Yexu's promotion speed is no longer on the highway, but on a rocket.
But think about it carefully.
Behind this rapid promotion are unbearable risks.
Bai Yexiao is like walking on a tightrope. If he is not careful, he will fall down and there will be no second chance.
Many ministers in the court asked themselves, if they were Her Majesty the Fifth Princess, could she really do the "abolition of hereditary substitution" so perfectly?
The answer they finally came up with was impossible.
As a result, they felt that their hearts suddenly felt much more balanced.
Because Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess did something that was impossible for herself.
In this case, isn't it reasonable for Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess to be promoted faster?
Within a month, Bai Yexu's work went very smoothly.
Bai Yehuang, who served as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, began to deal with some important matters of the Ministry of Personnel.
For example, the assessment of officials, the holding of imperial examinations in the next few months, etc.
In addition, Bai Yexiao learns very quickly. In this month, Bai Yexiao has learned a lot. He has a completely new impression of the operation of the official department and everything in the court.
But in the second month.
Bai Yehuang was transferred from the Ministry of Personnel to the Ministry of Rites, and then to the Ministry of Works.
