As an official, what's wrong with raising a few monsters?

Chapter 131: National Destiny Raising a Dragon
Mingchen seemed to be surrounded by some mist.

Every time Xiao Xinyue felt that she understood the other person a little better, the other person would reveal something that was far beyond her imagination.

This person has so many secrets that one can't help but want to pry into them.

She saw the black dragon yesterday.

She saw the other party rushing towards Mingchen.

I saw the white bird grow bigger, I saw someone rushing over in the rain, I saw Mingchen sacrifice the jade pendant and take the black dragon away.

That black dragon...seems to be her father.

say what?
Stealing a country?

What the hell is going on?
She now felt completely confused.

Everything is impacting her worldview.

Mingchen, the person in charge, looked calm, as if yesterday's rainstorm was just a dream. He smiled and said to Xiao Xinyue, "Your Highness has slept all day."

I even had the mind to joke with her just now.

The cat in Mingchen's arms looked sick, its bright, heterochromatic eyes were closed, and it lay in Mingchen's arms to rest.

When the black dragon rushed up yesterday, it seemed to have also made an effort in an inconspicuous corner.

"As for what happened... I can tell you that His Majesty passed away yesterday."

"At this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should have taken charge of the court."

He thought about it, and then spoke the most shocking words in the most relaxed tone.

These two short sentences express the change of the sun and the moon.

"what?!"

Xiao Xinyue's pupils suddenly shrank, and she slammed the table and stood up, her face full of horror.

What happened in just one day?

Mingchen just told her about the future plans yesterday.

The first step was taken so quickly.

"So... that black dragon from yesterday was really my father?"

"You... killed him?"

Xiao Xinyue's eyes changed with a change as she asked the young brother in front of her.

Sure enough, this person... really has the ability to subvert an entire country.

“Hey hey hey~”

"Your Highness, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything you want~"

Mingchen raised his hands and said innocently, "I didn't do anything!"

He just fanned the flames and told the prince some things to help him break the curse.

That's all, he didn't do anything else.

He will not take the blame for such a serious crime as assassinating the emperor!
Xiao Xinyue: ...

It’s up to you whether I believe you or not.

The Black Dragon was so furious, yelling at him for stealing the country... Can you say you did nothing?
She paused, then asked, "Mingchen...but was it my royal brother who did it?"

There is no family affection in the royal family.

For Xiao Xinyue, Xiao Yu really has no family affection.

She had even met Xiao Yu only a few times, and she was just shocked when he died.

I tried hard to squeeze out some sadness, but it seemed like no result could come out.

But she cares about Xiao Zhengyang.

Mingchen leaned back in his chair and casually said to Xiao Xinyue, "Your Highness, the past is the past. It's better to focus on the future. If it's for your brother's good, don't talk about it, and don't think about it...those messy things."

Xiao Xinyue lowered her eyes when she heard that.

We are all smart people. Mingchen has already given her the answer, and she also understands what Mingchen means.

"Your Highness, your time is running out."

"Please be prepared."

Somehow, Xiao Xinyue felt that Mingchen's gaze was particularly deep, as if he could see through her body, see her inner self, and see her future.

[The Human King ascends the throne]

[Golden scales leap through the sky, national destiny breeds dragons, the human king is crowned, and he dominates the dynasty]

Before yesterday, Xiao Xinyue had nothing on her.

But after yesterday, she was different.

This was the first time Mingchen had seen such a situation.

The black dragon broke through the sky, and it seemed that something fell from the sky and landed on her.

The seal of the king that the old emperor had given to fulfill his wish did not fall into Mingchen's hands.

Seeing the changes in Xiao Xinyue, he seemed to have a guess.

This land and country seemed to come alive and choose its own master.

Now the stocks I invested in have risen sharply.

"Uh... um."

Xiao Xinyue paused, as if trying hard to digest this matter.

After thinking for a long time, she looked up at Mingchen: "Mingchen, what do you think? What do you think I should do next?"

As a leader, she must have her own ideas, but she is not omnipotent and she needs to listen to the advice of others.

Moreover, it was the advice of someone as important as Mingchen.

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince can't hold out for much longer."

"You have no foundation here. The capital is completely corrupt. When troubled times come, this place will become the most terrifying power-grinding ground."

Xiao Xinyue is not Xiao Zhengyang.

Xiao Zhengyang has a strong foundation and has been operating for more than ten years, so his position as the crown prince is unshakable.

All the children in the country knew that when the emperor died, the crown prince would inherit the throne.

After Xiao Yu died, he naturally succeeded to the throne and was able to control the court.

However, this was limited to Xiao Zhengyang. As soon as Xiao Zhengyang died, this shaky Qianyuan court would instantly become the most terrifying meat grinder, with constant disputes between factions.

There is no one else who can legitimately succeed to the throne.

The next monarch will have no time to consolidate power, and the imperial power will be lost drastically. The new emperor will definitely be a puppet of powerful ministers.

Even Xiao Xinyue can only be a pawn.

The time was too short, and she had no soldiers or ministers.

"..."

Xiao Xinyue clenched her fists upon hearing this.

Mingchen had long seen that his brother would die young, so he had been guiding her forward.

She had her own vision and knew very well what would happen to the entire capital and the entire Qianyuan court if her royal brother died.

Xiao Xinyue has the courage to break into this meat grinder of power, but she does not have the confidence to guarantee the final victory under the current internal and external difficulties.

She raised her eyes and looked at Mingchen with burning gaze, waiting for his next words.

"Let him mess up!"

“How can we clean up the mess without making a mess?”

Mingchen's eyes also sparkled as he met Xiao Xinyue's gaze. "Your Highness, I don't know... do you have the courage to start all over again?"

"what?"

"Your Highness, the capital is rotten to the core and cannot be saved. Staying here is just a waste of time."

"Let those good-for-nothings fight and grab here!"

"Your Highness, the Hidden Dragon is useless. We will leave the capital and rebuild our country from scratch!"

Xiao Zhengyang has been locked in the capital for the rest of his life. His body, his business... do not allow him to leave the capital.

But Xiao Xinyue could, as she also had a royal identity. As long as she managed things properly, she might be able to cleanse the world and ascend the throne.

Ling Yu was about to lead his troops out of the city to deal with the rebels in the south. When troubled times arrived, transfer orders were meaningless. Anyone with royal blood could be the new king.

These soldiers are the capital selected by Mingchen for Xiao Xinyue.

When the new king led his troops back to the capital, he purged the imperial court and eradicated all corruption wherever his troops reached. The kingdom's name remained unchanged, and after the fall, a new dynasty was born.

Ling Yu, the Blood-Clothed Army... all have room to operate.

If Mingchen chooses Xiao Xinyue, this would be the most suitable route.

"Leaving Beijing..."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xinyue lowered her eyes slightly and clenched her fists secretly.

Mingchen said it with ease and passion, but it was not so easy to do it! He always gave people a special answer from an unexpected angle.

When everyone's attention was focused on the throne and the capital, he wanted to leave the capital.

She had left Beijing once before during her trip to Beilie, and that trip had given her a great shock and led to a change in her thinking.

But she knew very well that this time leaving Beijing was different from the last time.

The road ahead is unknown. Does she really have the talent and ability to change the world?

Thinking about it carefully, Mingchen's statement was far-fetched and beyond imagination. But it seemed... it was indeed a desperate struggle to survive, far better than fighting in Kyoto.

"do you dare?"

After the rainstorm, the bright sunshine pierced through the sky and shone down.

Inside the Ming Mansion, the princess gritted her teeth, suddenly raised her head, and said to Mingchen, "I dare!"

She believes in Mingchen and also believes in herself!

……

The emergency court meeting did not last long, but the announcement was extremely important and shocking.

After the court was dismissed, the ministers returned home with different expressions and a thousand thoughts in their minds.

Without giving anyone any preparation, the top leader has been replaced.

The old king passed away, the new king took the throne, the world changed, and every step these old ministers took next would determine their future.

The Dong Mansion in the capital is the residence of Dong Zhenghong, the chief minister of the cabinet.

Old Dong held the highest position among the officials, and his mansion was built in a magnificent style.

It was noon and the sun was shining brightly, but Old Dong returned home with a gloomy face and a heavy heart.

He stood in the courtyard, quietly watching the fish swimming in the pond, his brows furrowed.

Xiao Yu's sudden death was a huge blow to him.

His position was the limit of his potential. But he knew that even if he reached the limit, he would still be a subordinate, serving under others. While he held great honor, he also faced a precarious situation and was in great danger. A single misstep could lead to total failure.

The prince's ascension to the throne is unstoppable.

Although the old emperor's thoughts were unpredictable and he gave him many warnings, he still used his power.

The prince is different.

The support above him disappeared, and the enemy became even stronger.

The road ahead is covered with thin ice. Not to mention taking revenge on the enemy who killed my son, it is extremely difficult to protect myself now.

As the biggest political enemy, the prince will definitely take action to deal with him next.

In the yard, a dead leaf fell from the old tree by the pond, and it fell into the pond, causing slight ripples, and colorful fish scattered.

Time passed quickly, and Old Dong still stood by the pool, motionless.

He actually has some cards in his hand, but there are some things that cannot be done unless it is absolutely necessary. Once done, there will be no recovery.

One son died, but he still had several sons.

But if you burn your boats, there will be no way back. If you are not careful, your family will be destroyed.

At some point, the bright sun gradually set in the west.

As the sun sets, the sunset glows red across the sky.

Suddenly, a cold wind blew in Dong's mansion, and a shadow took advantage of the twilight and passed the detection of the guards outside the door.

I entered the mansion unknowingly, and the cold wind penetrated into my bones.

"Master Dong, it looks like you need some help."

A sinister whisper suddenly sounded in Dong Zhenghong's ears.
