Chapter 769 Winning over

Empress Dowager Janet lost. She never expected that the [Bone Melting Potion] given to her by the alchemist later was a version with two-thirds of the active ingredient concentration reduced, resulting in the effect of the potion lasting only two days. Hour.

Little Ford took medicine at 8 a.m. and took a test at 11 a.m., more than three hours later, it’s amazing that they can get along well.

At this time, Zhou Ming also believed that Genome was 100% not the blood of the late emperor, but the illegitimate son of the old lady who fooled around with others.

The rumors he concocted turned out to be real facts, not innocent accusations.

Why do you say that?

Because the old lady's reaction was so strange.

On the one hand, he was looking for ways to prove that Ford was of the blood of the late emperor through cheating.

On the other hand, he killed people and silenced them and killed the alchemist sent by Zhou Ming.

That she was so guilty and tried so hard to cover it up didn't just prove the fact that she had done something wrong?

If she really had a clear conscience and had passed the test openly, why would she take so many actions to allow Zhou Ming to take advantage of the situation?

In short, it's still the same sentence. Zhou Ming won not because he was awesome, but because his opponents were so bad that he found too many loopholes and finally defeated them one by one.

Therefore, Zhou Ming's secret to winning lies not with himself, but with his opponents.

This was also the reason why he chose to inject it into this body after some analysis.

But there is still a question that some people will definitely be confused about: Zhou Ming set up two rounds of "assassination" and "rumor-mongering". As long as "rumor-mongering" works, he will definitely win. Why should he increase risks and share manpower, and at the same time Lay out two games?

In fact, Zhou Ming did this just to be on the safe side.

Because it is subject to various uncontrollable factors, there is a certain risk of failure in any plan and layout, and the success rate cannot be 100%.

If the assassination fails, it depends on whether the rumor can succeed.

If all the assassination and rumors failed, he still had a backup plan... In short, as long as one or two of the three plans he prepared were successful, his probability of ascending to the throne would be greatly improved.

Fortunately, God was very generous, and the two plans succeeded one after another, and the probability of him taking the throne was basically stable at 100%.

And achieved the optimal results, eradicating two mountains.

One, after Genome was killed, the biggest personal threat was gone. Zhou Ming no longer had to worry that a bowl of poisonous meat soup would be served to him that day.

Two, after the reputation of Queen Mother Janet was ruined, she could no longer control the empire's government. After Zhou Ming ascended the throne, the biggest obstacle to controlling power was eliminated.

So a week later, after receiving the support of most of the noble ministers in the court.

The grand and solemn coronation ceremony of the new emperor was held.

Under the spotlight of everyone, 12-year-old Zhou Ming put on imperial clothes, sat on the imperial throne, and ruled the world!

He became the emperor of the Orunian Empire, commanding 180 million square kilometers of land on the entire floating island and dominating about 3 billion people.

But, does this mean that Zhou Ming is firmly on the throne?

Has all the supreme power of the empire been controlled by him?

of course not.

He was only a 12-year-old young lady. He was in charge of the young country and lacked prestige. He could not intervene in national affairs. He could only let the elders of the royal family and the senior ministers in the court handle the affairs together. Zhou Ming was responsible for listening on the side. Study it carefully and put his emperor's seal on the imperial edict.

Furthermore, because of his active cooperation, modest and serious attitude towards learning, and his promptness in using seals, all the ministers in the court gave him very positive evaluations, and many ministers gave him five-star praise.

Some ministers even sighed privately: "What a good emperor, what a good emperor. Knox is many times better than that guy Genome."

In this way, less than two months after Zhou Ming ascended the throne, the upper echelons of the empire, which had been in turmoil, quickly stabilized and restored the calm that people expected.

As long as this kind of calm continues, sooner or later, Zhou Ming will become a puppet manipulated by powerful officials.

Without the support of a family that plays a decisive role in the empire, and unable to grasp the power of decision-making, the emperor will become indifferent when he sits down.

But Zhou Ming is too young now, and it is not appropriate to show that he is a monster far beyond his years too early. He has to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger for a while.

It cannot be like a rootless duckweed without the support of any family or resources.

Therefore, he had to win over some forces to stabilize his foundation.

who?

Who should he win over?

Lucis family.

Of course it was the Lucis family, which was extremely powerful in the empire and controlled half of the military power.

If he does not continue to woo this family, it will be difficult for Zhou Ming to survive in this empire in the future, even if he is the emperor.

So after taking some time, Zhou Ming went to visit Lu in person in the name of visiting the imperial grandmother (the old lady moved out of the palace and returned to her family, but was mentally disturbed due to the severe stimulation and has not yet recovered). Lord of the Sith.

Prince Lucis's name is Fred Lucis. He is 88 years old. He is a kind-hearted old man and is also Zhou Ming's great-grandfather.

After entering the Prince's Mansion and being given gifts, after visiting the Queen's grandmother in the ward, and accidentally provoking the old lady, Zhou Ming and Prince Lucis chatted alone in the royal living room of the Prince's Mansion. Meeting day.

The two didn't speak at first, they just drank tea and were silent for a while.

But as soon as the old Wang Jue opened his mouth, his words were earth-shattering.

"It's amazing, it's amazing. At such a young age, he was able to survive in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, fight back repeatedly, defeat two powerful enemies, overcome obstacles, and ascend to the highest position... This courage and resourcefulness are the result of sixteen former emperors. Among them, no one can compare with you.”

The old Wang Jue sighed, his eyes full of shock.

"Ahem, cough!"

Zhou Ming coughed twice and said with a confused look on his face: "Grandpa, my grandson can't understand what you said." He pretended to be confused, but his heart was pounding.

But the old prince continued to sigh: "I have guessed the purpose of your coming this time. You will not come when it is most dangerous, and you will come only after you have secured the throne...Obviously, the Lucis family is not the charcoal you urgently need, but These are the flowers that need to be added to the cake.”

There was a trace of sullenness in the old Wang Jue's voice, and he began to say coldly: "Boy, do you look down on the Lucis family too much?"

"Ahem! Ahem!"

Zhou Ming could only cough in embarrassment, and said with a helpless smile: "Grandpa, you really think too much." But he was cursing secretly in his heart: As expected, he got better and better as he got older, and he met another old fox.

"Hmph! You are still pretending to be confused with me here, kid. Since you want to win over the Lucis family, you have to show some sincerity! Tell me yourself, what kind of sincerity should you show?"

The old Wangjue stared at him and asked.

Zhou Ming shook his head slightly, sighed, and said to the old prince: "Just follow the sincerity that my great-grandfather wanted me to show." Zhou Ming knew that from the moment he stepped into this prince's mansion, everything would change. It's all part of the old Wang Jue's plan.

"Humph, this is how you know your identity."

The old Wang Jue clapped his hands and said to the screen furniture by the window on the right side of the living room: "Elsa, come out."

After saying that, a young girl about thirteen or fourteen years old came out from behind the screen. She was wearing a long yellow dress made of silk. Her upper body was slim and graceful, her jade arms were as long as onions, and her breasts were beginning to take shape. Her fair and beautiful face impressed countless people who saw her for the first time and made their hearts beat faster.

Zhou Ming's eyes were full of admiration. This girl was like Snow White in the fairy tale. From the evaluation of appearance, temperament, behavior, etc., she was a little loli who could score 95 points.

Of course, when it comes to being heart-thumping, Zhou Ming has not yet reached that level, unless the overall score is above 98 points.

"Elsa, tell Grandpa Zeng, what do you think of this kid?" Old Wang Jue pointed at Zhou Ming and asked.

The girl looked Zhou Ming over, nodded lightly and said: "Not bad, much better than that disgusting thing from Jernom." It turned out that the last time Jernom pursued desperately, it was this little lolita.

"Hey, Knox, tell me something, what do you think of Elsa?" Old Wang Jue asked Zhou Mingdao.

Zhou Ming stared at the girl in front of him for a while, took a breath, and said: "If I get her, I will build a golden house, put countless priceless gems and jewelry in the golden house, and hide Elsa inside. , don’t let anyone steal her away.”

As soon as these words came out!

Old Wang Jue's eyes lit up, and his face showed an expression of extreme satisfaction.

Elsa, who originally had a mediocre impression of Zhou Ming, looked at him blankly after hearing these words. Two blushes quickly appeared on her face, and her heart beat faster.

He picked up his skirt again, turned around and ran out of the living room.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

Seeing this scene, the old Wang Jue laughed heartily.
