Six Sword Slave is a character in the Chinese martial arts in the previous life.
Identity trap killer, ranked first in the world.
All six of them are masters of swordsmanship. The six of them are one, and they are extremely capable of killing.
Among the six, the strongest one is Duanshui, followed by Zhen Gang and Luan Shen.
Duanshui and Zhen Gang Luan Shen are both at the Grand Master level, and the rest are also at the Grand Master level.
It can be said that the Six Sword Slaves summoned this time made Ji Luochen very satisfied.
With the personal protection of these six sword slaves, there are only a handful of people in the world who can kill him.
Unless the Martial Saint is born, but with the strength of the Six Sword Slaves, if the six people join forces, they will not be unable to resist even if they face the Martial Saint, and they can give themselves enough time to escape.
And just when Ji Luochen was checking the Six Sword Slave's information.
In the emperor's bedroom in the palace, an old figure was lying on the dragon bed.
This man is the contemporary monarch of the Zhou Dynasty.
However, five years ago, when this monarch went on a tour to the south of the Yangtze River, he was ambushed by many masters of the Demon Sect. Although he was not successfully assassinated by the Demon Sect, he was seriously injured. In five years, his energy was completely exhausted. Now, We are already in a situation where we are running out of gas.
There were countless people kneeling inside and outside the emperor's palace.
There are concubines in the harem, princes under the knees, and ministers of civil and military affairs.
A trembling arm reached out from the curtain and handed out an imperial edict.
When an old eunuch trembled and received the imperial edict, his arm dropped weakly.
Seeing this scene, the old eunuch burst into tears and said in a sharp voice: "Imperial doctor, imperial doctor, please tell the imperial doctor quickly."
An official kneeling on the ground in the distance quickly stumbled forward.
"Eunuch Chen, I'm here."
"Show it to Your Majesty quickly."
Although Eunuch Chen already knew the outcome in his heart, he still couldn't believe that this hero would fall like this.
The imperial doctor stepped forward with fear on his face, gently checked his pulse, then knelt on the ground with a thud, and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, he has passed away."
As the voice fell, countless cries rang out inside and outside the palace.
Those who heard the sound kowtowed and bowed their heads.
The death knell rang throughout the palace and inside.
Even the people of the imperial dynasty outside the palace heard the bells clearly.
The great funeral bell in the palace will only ring when the emperor or important members of the royal family pass away.
The news that the emperor was critically ill had already spread throughout the world.
This bell rings and people already know who is dead.
Ji Luochen, who was in the East Palace, couldn't help but frown when he heard the bell ringing, but he was secretly happy in his heart.
He finally waited for the day when the late emperor passed away and he could legitimately inherit the throne.
With a movement of body, he was already rushing towards the direction of the palace.
Six Sword Slaves quickly followed.
When we arrived at the palace, there was already a lot of crying inside and outside.
After Ji Luochen arrived, reports continued that the prince was coming.
After Ji Luochen came to the palace, a luxurious woman couldn't help but yelled loudly.
"Prince, do you still know how to come here? When your father was about to pass away, why didn't you come to see His Majesty on his last journey? How did you become the prince? How can a person with such a cold nature be qualified to inherit the throne?"
When the woman finished speaking, a young man beside her also echoed and scolded her.
"That's it, second brother, you are too unruly. Although our Zhou Dynasty was founded by force, it has always been about etiquette. You are so rude and you are not worthy of inheriting the throne."
The young man who spoke was Prince Zhou Zhou and the son of the current Concubine Yun.
In the harem, besides the queen, Concubine Yun was the most powerful.
She has always wanted her son to inherit the throne so that she could become the empress dowager.
But after three years of intrigue, she failed to defeat Ji Luochen. Even the queen's son, the eldest prince of the Zhou Dynasty, was deposed from the position of prince. Because of his mistakes, he was thrown into the cold palace. , lost the qualification to inherit.
Ji Luochen glanced at Concubine Yun and the Three Emperors lightly, with a cold murderous intent flashing in her eyes.
Looking into Ji Luochen's eyes, the third prince could not help but tremble in fear.
Even Concubine Yun felt a hint of fear.
"My father is ill and the country cannot be without a king for a day. There are so many political affairs and memorials to deal with. If I stay here all day long, who should handle the political affairs and memorials?"
"Could it be that my father is no longer here, and my great Zhou Dynasty will be disbanded?"
"you……"
"You are simply making excuses. With the Chief Assistant here, there are any state affairs that cannot be handled. The most important thing you should do is to stay with His Majesty. Are there still a few days left to deal with political affairs?"
Although Concubine Yun knew what Ji Luochen said was reasonable, she was still thinking of ways to suppress Ji Luochen.
Ji Luochen sneered: "The first assistant is only qualified to be an assistant. What qualifications does he have to make the political decisions of my great Zhou Dynasty?"
"When did the Chief Assistant have such great power? How come I haven't heard of it?"
Ji Luochen's words instantly frightened Concubine Yun and turned her face pale.
Yun Xiao, the chief minister of the dynasty, was Concubine Yun's father. He was a highly respected minister, one person below ten thousand people.
In the entire Zhou Dynasty, the Yun family was the largest family.
It is not an exaggeration to say that power dominates the ruling and opposition parties.
However, Ji Luochen's words have already touched upon the master's great achievements. If this matter cannot be suppressed, the Yun family may be in catastrophe.
Especially now that the previous emperor has passed away and the new emperor has ascended the throne, Ji Luochen's succession to the throne is basically certain, and she must not let Ji Luochen take advantage of it.
"shut up."
At this time, an old voice came.
An old man with gray hair wearing official uniform walked over with the support of two officials.
The person who came was none other than Chief Assistant Yun Xiao.
After arriving here, Yun Xiao glared at Concubine Yun, then bowed and saluted Ji Luochen: "Old minister Yun Xiao, I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."
"Ling'er also made unintentional remarks while in a state of excitement because of the late Emperor's passing. Please forgive me, Your Highness."
After hearing Yun Xiao's words, Ji Luochen did not pursue the matter any further. After all, it was simply impossible to move to the Yun family for such a trivial matter. There were still serious things to do at the moment.
"Ding, received the mission, ascended to the throne, and will be rewarded with a summoning opportunity."
After hearing the system task prompt, Ji Luochen nodded to Yun Xiao and walked into the hall without saying anything else.
When the late emperor passed away, his concubines and princes kept vigil at night.
Throughout the night, Ji Luochen knelt in front of the bed and did not move.
Observing filial piety for parents is the moral code in the world.
As the prince, Ji Luochen should set an example.
Before, when the late emperor had not passed away, he could still use the excuse of handling government affairs as an excuse for not coming. Now that the late emperor had passed away, he had to show enough courtesy.
Don't let other people's opinions fall on you.
And this night, some people were happy and some were worried.
The ones who were happy were naturally the ministers who had supported Ji Luochen.
The ones who are worried are the people from the faction other than Ji Luochen.
Now that the previous emperor has passed away and the new emperor has ascended the throne, it is the time for power to change.
Once Ji Luochen ascends the throne, someone may be in trouble.
The unlucky ones are naturally those who have been against Ji Luochen.
