"King Wai, everyone in the Wai Dynasty is already here!" Ke Cheng, the leader's subordinate, said.
"Well, very good!" Cheng Yu nodded.
"Since the entire outer court has arrived, I will now tell you about what happened last night!" Cheng Yu said loudly to everyone in the square.
Hearing the Wai Wang mention what happened last night, all the people who participated in the attack on the Wai Wang Mansion by the Eight Prefectures were suddenly startled and extremely worried.
"Everyone should have heard about what happened in the Prince's Palace last night. I also know that most of the people from the Eight Palaces present were involved in this operation." When Prince Wai said this, he was even more frightened. Few people.
Many people have even begun to think, if the foreign king really wants to cause trouble for them, will they have to escape from the foreign court immediately?
"However, the main figures in this rebellion, the chief elders of the eight palaces, have all been killed by me, so I don't plan to hold everyone else accountable for the death penalty for the rebellion! It's just that the death penalty must be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped!" Cheng Yu continued said.
Once they heard that the foreign king did not intend to pursue them for death penalty, everyone immediately relaxed.
As long as it is not a death penalty, everything is easy to explain, but they still hope that the foreign king will not give them too serious a crime.
"After a night of thinking, from today onwards, all the former eight government officials will have their salaries canceled for one year. Do you have any opinions?" Cheng Yu said loudly.
"Thank you so much, King Wang!" The people from the Eight Prefectures responded loudly.
For them, salary is not money, but resources. To be honest, although they were heartbroken by being fined for one year's salary, compared to their crime of betraying the foreign king, this punishment was really light.
Therefore, at this moment, they were still very grateful to the foreign king.
If it had been any other person, they would probably have died.
"Since no one has any objections, then this matter is over. I think everyone knows very well that there will only be one outcome for betraying the Wai Wang Mansion. I also hope that such a thing will not happen again in the future." Wai Wang continued said.
“However, since the elder in charge of the Eighth Palace has been executed, the Eighth Palace cannot remain without an owner, so I have already chosen the new elder in charge of the Eighth Palace.
The Grand Elder's Mansion is headed by Meng Xing, the Second Elder is held by Huang Qi, and the Third Elder..." Next, Cheng Yu directly announced the new appointees of the eight chief elders.
These eight people were selected directly by Cheng Yu from those who had already taken refuge with him.
After all, these people reassured him no matter their strength or loyalty, not to mention that these people had already made a blood oath of heaven before returning to the outer court.
Moreover, they all made great achievements in eliminating the chaos in the Eight Prefectures this time. They are definitely the more powerful among these people. Even if they are not the strongest people in the entire outer dynasty, they are not far behind.
"Thank you, King Wai!" Not to mention that the others were a little confused about the situation, even these eight people were stunned for a while. After reacting, the eight people hurriedly stepped forward to thank Wai Wang.
"You will help me take charge of the Eight Prefectures from now on. I hope that the people of the Eight Prefectures can develop and grow again, but there must be no more betrayals, otherwise I will take advantage of you!" Cheng Yu said to these eight people.
"Yes! My subordinates will definitely live up to the cultivation and expectations of the foreign king, and will definitely work hard to carry forward the Eight Palaces!" The eight people said with great excitement.
In fact, their strength is at the top of the entire outer dynasty, but they do not hold important positions in the outer dynasty.
Otherwise, King Linhai would not have taken them with him back then, just because they were reliable and could ensure his safety when he went out.
Moreover, the reputations of these eight people in the outer dynasty have actually been known for a long time, but many people are still very envious of them, and some even feel unwilling to do so.
Especially for Kecheng, whose strength and status are higher than theirs, they are even more unwilling.
Ever since he swore a blood oath of heaven to Cheng Yu and served Cheng Yu, he had always been on the front foot and arranged all the affairs of the foreign king properly.
If the foreign king wants to appoint a new chief elder, he should have a position no matter what.
But now the foreign king has only missed him. Will this make him feel better?
You know, even if he has won the trust of this new young master, compared with the eight new chief elders, his identity and status are obviously far behind.
"Ke Cheng!" At this moment, the foreign king suddenly called his name!
"Here are my subordinates!" He was suddenly called by the king. Ke Cheng didn't know what the king meant by calling him at this time. The biggest benefit had already been given to eight of them, but he still didn't dare to hesitate and hurried forward. Get down on your knees.
"Are you unwilling to accept that I have handed over the chief elder of the Eighth Palace to them?" Cheng Yu looked at the person half-kneeling in front of him and said with a faint smile.
"Subordinates don't dare!" Ke Cheng was suddenly shocked.
"I know what I'm thinking, but now I have a more important burden to put in your hands!" said the foreign king.
"Wang Wang, please tell me that my subordinates will live up to the king's trust and handle the matter well!" Ke Cheng said.
It is absolutely impossible to say that he has no thoughts in his mind at this time.
When something good happens, let other people come in, and when something needs to be done, think of him. Will he feel better?
But how could he tell the truth about this? Even if he had complaints in his heart, he didn't dare to say more.
"Okay! I now announce to everyone in the entire outer court that from today on, I will be in seclusion for a long time and will no longer meet anyone.
However, there are so many things in the Outer Dynasty that cannot be handled by anyone, so from now on, Ke Cheng will temporarily act as the Outer King and handle all affairs in the Outer Dynasty. His orders are my orders. No one must obey them and must not be unreasonable. be opposed to!
If the deputy king is found to be incompetent in his duties, you can make a proposal to the new head of the Eighth Palace. In addition, I will also send people to keep an eye on them secretly.
Do you have any objections to this matter? "Cheng Yu announced loudly.
"The king is wise, but my subordinates dare not!" Everyone was shocked when they heard this announcement, but no one dared to stand up and object.
"King Wai, this..." At this time, Ke Cheng was stunned by King Wai's new decision.
He thought that the foreign king had forgotten him. He would not remember him when it was beneficial, but would ask him to take care of it when there was something wrong.
But little did he know that the Outer King had already left the greatest benefit to him. At this moment, he felt guilty for not understanding the Outer King, and at the same time he was extremely grateful for the Outer King's trust.
"For the time being, the outer court will leave it to you nine people. Don't let me down. If you dare to go against my wishes, the people who are watching you secretly will tell me everything truthfully, so I hope you don't let me know. I'm disappointed!" Cheng Yu said to the nine newly appointed successors.
After all, he, the foreign king, was a fake. These nine people and even some other people who had taken refuge in him knew this very well.
What's more, he still has so many unresolved matters, how can he stay in Linhai and go to court?
As for those Linhai Kings, they actually don’t have much value anymore. If he really needs to come back, it's not impossible.
Because he didn't say anything now, nor did he say that he would give up the position of the foreign king directly, but just let Ke Cheng temporarily take over the position of the foreign king.
After all, he will leave Linhai Dynasty soon, but King Linhai has not woken up yet, so it is impossible to submit to him.
Therefore, it is impossible for the matter here to be handed over to King Linhai again for the time being. More importantly, the entire Linhai Dynasty has undergone earth-shaking changes. Even if King Linhai is allowed to hold the position of King Linhai again, it may not be most suitable.
Now, it may be most appropriate for Ke Cheng and others to take over the important responsibilities of the outer court.
Even if King Linhai wakes up in the future, if this guy would rather die than surrender, then he can only kill him.
If he knew the current affairs, he would either let him come back as the foreign king, or keep him by his side and delegate important tasks!
"Please rest assured, King Wai, we will never betray King Wai's trust, and we will definitely work together to handle the affairs of the Wai Dynasty impeccably!" the nine people said excitedly.
"You should not say this to me, but to the entire outer court. If you are unfair, someone will naturally ask me to explain!" Cheng Yu nodded and said.
"Yes! We understand!" Nine people responded again.
In this way, Cheng Yu happily handed over the entire Linwai Dynasty to Ke Cheng and the other nine people.
In addition, he also asked people to spread the news immediately to all the major border towns in Linhai and other places where Linhai and North Korea had garrisoned troops.
After all, the Linwai Dynasty has undergone earth-shaking changes. Everyone must know these things, and let them understand that the entire Wai Dynasty is now in charge of the Daiwai King and eight new chief elders.
Since the Linwai Dynasty has entrusted them with nine people, they are actually no different from the foreign kings and elders in charge of other foreign dynasties.
So Cheng Yu also told them how to make several important jade slips, so that they could make corresponding jade slips so that they could communicate with each other in the future.
After arranging everything, Cheng Yu secretly left Linhai Dynasty with the remaining people who had sworn the blood oath of heaven.
After all, these people, like Ke Cheng and others, knew his identity clearly. Although they have made a blood oath to heaven, there are some secrets that must never be spread out.
What if some of these people lifted the restrictions of the Heavenly Blood Oath on their own or with the help of others, and then they spread the matter to the inner court, that would be fine.
Therefore, he had to take away the remaining people, and he could not let anyone who knew the secret stay in Linhai and go to court.
And Cheng Yu's next destination is Dongning Waichao!
