695: C695 The Great Princess's Imperial Might

C695 The Great Princess's Imperial Might

After a brief moment of silence, Ye Tian said: "Right now, the most important thing is to find the whereabouts of the Emperor. Whether you live or die, there has to be a conclusion."

Chu Yue's nose turned sour and she forced herself not to cry. She nodded and said, "That's right, send orders to Lin Qiyu and Zhao Zhentian, mobilize the Divine Weapon Camp and the imperial guards. Search the entire city, including every corner of the palace."

Chu Yue's face was still menacing as she spoke. She looked at Ye Tian and continued, "Especially the concubines and concubines of the imperial harem. They're the main targets for the search."

Ye Tian nodded. Just as he was about to speak, rumbling sounds suddenly came from outside the palace.

As the battle within the Hall of Diligent Government had only been going on for a short period of time, the thousands of officials standing on the plaza below the hall only noticed the abnormality at this time.

The rumbling sounds were the footsteps of the civil and military officials.

Very quickly, all the ministers had surrounded the entrance of the palace, all of them looking around suspiciously.

Ye Tian and Chu Yue looked at each other again and turned around at the same time.

Chu Yue looked at the officials gathered outside the hall and said, "Someone was ambushing the Emperor and Manager Ye. Lord Qin and Lord Lin were killed by an assassin in the face of danger."

At this point, Chu Yue paused for a moment, sighed, and said, "Due to Lord Qin and Lord Lin being murdered, our wedding ceremony will immediately come to an end. Let's bury Lord Qin and Lord Lin first."

When the civil and military ministers outside the hall heard Chu Yue mention that there were assassins trying to assassinate the Emperor and Manager Ye and that they had already killed both Lord Qin and Lord Lin, they were extremely shocked.

Putting aside the fact that this was the wedding day between Head of the Royal Ministry of Internal Order and the two princesses of the empire, just in this Hall of Diligent Government alone, the Emperor was actually assassinated.

How did the assassin get in? The famous Divine Weapon Camp that was stationed in the capital actually did not detect anything? If it wasn't someone from the outside, could it be that it was someone from the palace?

One question after another emerged from the hearts of the ministers. They looked at each other with confused expressions.

Following that, people saw the ground filled with minced meat and Qin Ruhua's body that was already in two pieces.

On the faces of the ministers, there was a look of extreme horror.

It was only after a long while did the official come back to his senses. He then thought of an extremely crucial question, "Her Royal Highness, where is the assassin?"

Chu Yue shook her head and said, "They've already run away."

All the ministers were in an uproar.

In theory, when the assassin sneaked into the Hall of Diligent Government, and during the wedding between the two Her Royal Highness and Head of the Royal Ministry of Internal Order, he assassinated the emperor, and in the end, shattered the most powerful officials, ministers and Military Affairs Minister into pieces. Such a shocking event was intolerable.

At this time, due to Ye Tian continuously bringing in the Four Great Empires of Oca, Barrow, Eli and the rest, as well as achieving a nominal unification of the East Continent, the Tiangong Empire became the true central empire. The ministers were actually already proud of him.

It was at this critical juncture that someone tried to assassinate the Emperor. These ministers were all filled with righteous indignation. They gnashed their teeth, and started discussing and cursing amongst themselves.

After a while, Chu Yue saw that the situation was getting more and more chaotic, so she spoke again, "Everyone, don't argue anymore. We should inform their families as soon as possible about the death of Lord Qin and Lord Lin, and pass down the order to Qi Yu and Yan'er. Royal Cars and Horses Shop will immediately send fast horses, and respectively inform Lin Aoxiong from Oca, and Qin Feiyang from Liaodong, so that they can rush back. "

As expected, after Chu Yue's words, the many ministers quietened down and the departments in charge began to arrange the arrangements.

At this time, a few other ministers carefully looked at the situation in the hall and asked, "Her Royal Highness, where is the emperor?"

Chu Yue's face was gloomy. Before she could say anything, she heard Chu Yu beside her sob as she said, "The assassin is disguised as Royal Father, trying to kill us. I drank all the poisoned wine he gave me, but he didn't give up. That assassin was none other than Imperial Consort Xi. "I already knew that this damned woman had the heart of a rebel. Now, I still don't know where she hid Royal Father. Even if Royal Father is alive or dead, I don't know."

Hearing Chu Yu's words, the expressions of the other ministers could no longer be simply described as shocked.

Very soon, some of the ministers with quick reactions realized a very serious problem. Right now, the emperor's whereabouts were unknown. The council head and the Military Affairs Minister had already perished.

Minister Chen Zhongxiu, Minister Li Laifu and Minister Ji Yanwenn simultaneously said: "Her Royal Highness, the Imperial Court must not go ungoverned for a day, please decide as soon as possible on the choice of Minister and Military Affairs Minister."

Following that, the Ministry of Penalty Minister Yao Zhongtang and the Commerce Minister Hu Fuzhen also spoke up, "Your Majesty's whereabouts are unknown.

Chu Yue sighed and said, "Let's first wait for the arrival of Qi Yu and Yan'er, then we can transport the bodies of Lord Qin and Lord Lin back to the residence. We can talk about other matters later."

Hearing Chu Yue's words, Chen Zhongxiu and Li Laifu spoke again, "Her Royal Highness, the assassin is in the capital at the right time for the wedding. The imperial government must have someone in charge. "Otherwise, the various departments' matters will not report to the public. It would be a small matter if they delayed political affairs. If the assassins continued to cause trouble in the capital, it would be a huge problem."

Knowing that what Chen Zhongxiu and the others said was the truth, Chu Yue nodded and said, "Alright, after Lord Qin and Lord Lin's bodies return, the officials above the fourth rank in the capital will go to the Purple Light Pavilion to convene an emergency meeting."

The Purple Radiance Pavilion was the place where the Emperor rested after morning assembly. There would often be matters that the morning assembly did not decide on. The Emperor would come to the Purple Radiance Pavilion to carefully think about it.

It was reasonable that Chu Yue had chosen to hold the meeting here. Firstly, Chu Yue had not officially ascended the throne, and sitting on the Dragon Throne within the Hall of Diligent Government was unsuitable from a ceremonial point of view. Second, the Purple Light Pavilion was originally a place where the Emperor would continue to review his imperial reports and ponder over political matters after his morning assembly. Thus, it was quite suitable to be used as Chu Yue's temporary forum for discussion.

At that moment, the crowd suddenly parted and two people rushed in from behind. One was dressed in a dark green military uniform, tall and valiant. The other was dressed in a light green robe, slim and beautiful.

It was Lin Qiyu and Qin Yan'er.

Seeing the two of them enter, Ye Tian's expression changed slightly and he walked up to them.

Lin Qiyu walked directly to Ye Tian's side and looked at the ground full of minced meat. Her eyes reddened as she looked at Ye Tian.

Ye Tian nodded.

Lin Qiyu's throat violently moved. She forcefully suppressed the feeling of wanting to cry and silently walked to the front. Then, she bent down and gathered the pieces of flesh together.

However, Qin Yan'er wasn't as tough as Lin Qiyu. When she saw that Qin Ruhua's body was split into two halves, she instantly burst into tears.

Helpless, Ye Tian could only gently hug Qin Yan'er's shoulder. Qin Yan'er cried loudly as she dug into Ye Tian's back with her delicate hand.

Four hours later, Lin Qiyu and Qin Yan'er, enduring their pain, brought the corpses of Lin Chengzhou and Qin Ruhua back to their respective residences.

Due to the funeral of Qin Manor and Lin Manor, the ceremony to be held three days later was cancelled. Subsequently, Chu Yue held her first post-mortem high-level meeting in the Purple Light Pavilion.

The content of the meeting was very simple. First, arrange for the people of Divine Weapon Camp and the imperial guards to search the entire city for the whereabouts of the Emperor, and also investigate the whereabouts of the assassin. The second is to designate Lin Qiyu to lead the duties of the Military Affairs Minister and Ye Tian to lead the duties of the Minister of Government.

Chu Yue had already discussed this decision with Ye Tian before the meeting. It was quite suitable for Military Affairs Minister to let Lin Qiyu take the lead. However, the Minister of Government did not have a suitable candidate for that. The various departments in the Council of State were not unified, and no matter who was sent up, it would be difficult to convince the people. However, Ye Tian's identity was naturally different. Compared to many other ministers, Ye Tian was a lot more aloof.

In addition to Ye Tian already conquering the various empires in the East Continent, the Minister of State and the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Administration did not dare to object.

Compared to Military Court, the Internal Affairs Bureau was clearly more troublesome. Due to the special characteristic of having a military order that was like a mountain, from top to bottom, the Military Court was strict and strict.

The Ministry of Tax Administration was in charge of fiscal taxation, the Ministry of Public Administration was in charge of examinations and promotions, the Ministry of Household Administration was in charge of population and household registration, the Ministry of Agriculture was in charge of grain, farmland and water conservancy, the Ministry of Ministry Of Industry Administration was in charge of the construction of the city and state, transportation and construction, the Ministry of Justice was in charge of adjudication, arrest and investigation, the Ministry of Justice was in charge of education, etiquette and regulation, and the Ministry of Ministry of Business Administration was in charge of business, trade and trade.

Each of the eight great departments of the Internal Affairs Bureau had their own responsibilities and responsibilities. In a single city or province, there were some matters that involved the cross-management of different departments. It could be said that you were the one in the middle, while I was the one in the middle. As a result, there was a problem of dividing the benefits.

Whenever the division of interests is involved, cooperation and contradictions will inevitably arise.

Therefore, it was you who could not control me and I could not control you who did not interfere in the affairs between the eight great Sects.

Such a relationship would require a person who was superior to the ministers of the various departments to conduct a unified leadership.

More importantly, the person who was above all others had to be the president and assistant minister of the eight great tribes. Otherwise, the various departments would go against the rules and cheat in order to abuse their authority, enrich their private pockets and turn the whole Internal Affairs Bureau into a nest of snakes and rats.

It was for this reason that Chu Yue let Ye Tian join forces. He would think about it after he had a suitable candidate.

Even if there was no suitable person to keep Ye Tian together, it did not violate the imperial etiquette. Ye Tian was a prince consort, a member of the royal family.

As a member of the royal family and minister of government, there are many historical examples, which is also reasonable.

Although everyone had their own thoughts, they didn't raise any objections to Chu Yue's decision. These ministers had been officials for many years, so they naturally knew that this was not the time for internal strife. Instead, they had to decide on a candidate as soon as possible so that the imperial government could issue orders and the imperial government could function normally.

The temporary government was decided just like that. Chu Yue, as the Queen's ruler, succeeded the former emperor in taking charge of the overall situation.

Ye Tian was in charge of the imperial government while Lin Qiyu was in charge of the military.2

After their leaders had confirmed that Royal Father was missing, Chu Yue said, "Their respective responsibilities have been confirmed. We must investigate the case thoroughly as soon as possible, in addition to making sure that the order goes through without a hitch. I hope everyone doesn't disappoint me."
