Logically speaking, Emperor Wu Lingtian has passed away!
In that case, the crown prince installation ceremony should have been postponed at least!
After all, the deceased should be respected, and the funeral arrangements must be made first!
However, the fact is that the crown prince installation ceremony...
Or rather, the new emperor's enthronement ceremony, has no intention of being postponed at all!
All the work is still proceeding in an orderly manner!
As for the body of Wu Lingtian, it was casually disposed of by a few young eunuchs!
When this news first spread, there was even a commotion in Tianwu City.
Some loyalists regarded this as an insult!
But soon, they all quieted down.
Because just when they were making the most noise, a crack appeared in the sky.
Therefore, during the period before the enthronement ceremony, the royalists were unusually quiet.
However, even a fool knows that this is just the calm before the storm.
...
At noon three days later, in the central square.
"Alas, His Majesty was indeed a wise emperor, but unfortunately, he was too ambitious," someone said.
"Yes. The Cao family is not so easy to overthrow. Now, he has lost both his wife and his soldiers," another one said.
"Hmm, for such a big event, why haven't any of the Wu family's ancestors shown up? This is abnormal."
"They won't show up anymore! I guess they must have disobeyed the Cao family in some matters and were then killed by the Cao family's ancestors."
This person's guess was very accurate!
During these three days, there was really a bloodbath in the imperial palace.
The Wu family's ancestors were very dissatisfied with Wu Lingtian's death.
They insisted that Cao Wenbin give an explanation.
And they were determined to pass the throne to Wu Chengqian, who was currently wanted.
It was precisely because of this that Cao Wenbin summoned the Sixth Patriarch again.
"The auspicious time has arrived. The enthronement ceremony officially begins!"
While everyone was talking, the official in charge of presiding over the ceremony from the Ministry of Rites finally spoke.
However, he only had time to say this one sentence, and then he couldn't speak anymore.
Because outside the square, a large group of people suddenly rushed in.
They were dressed in unified white clothes, holding banners in their hands, and shouting unified slogans.
The leader was Wu Chengqian.
"The First Prince insulted his mother, killed his father, and framed his younger brother. He is truly a traitor of the country!"
"The Cao family bullied others with their power. They are the root of the disaster in the world!"
"We sincerely invite people of insight to join us and restore a clear sky to this world!"
"Pfft~"
Cao Wenbin was directly amused.
What excited him even more was that Wu Chengqian's qi - luck had been reduced to red.
This level was even lower than his, the Heavenly - Mandated Villain.
That is to say, if he could gain the upper hand today, this guy would definitely not be able to escape.
Thinking of this, Cao Wenbin's eyes lit up, and then he flew above the parade procession.
"Cao thief, you bullied my mother with your power, and then you forcibly slept with the empress. You, such a heinous villain, dare to show up in public so blatantly?"
"Aren't you afraid of divine retribution?"
Cao Wenbin was speechless.
Bullying your mother with power?
Come on. Your mother was sent to my bed by you yourself!
However, Cao Wenbin didn't explain anything.
After all, he really didn't care about these common people below.
They were just weaklings with little combat effectiveness.
They were just like those fools in the previous life who spoke up for injustices on the Internet.
When some things were properly handled under their attention, they thought it was their own credit.
Little did they know that it was just their ideas coinciding with those of the high - level people.
Otherwise, with their social status, what was the use even if they broke the keyboard?
Saliva could never drown anyone.
As long as those with force didn't get chaotic, everything would be under control.
"Wu Chengqian, you don't think these powerless people can help you turn the tables against the odds, do you?"
Cao Wenbin's face was full of an amused look.
Wu Chengqian, who still hadn't realized the seriousness of the situation, raised his head proudly.
"Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it."
"Cao Wenbin, you bumpkin, you don't know how powerful the masses are at all!"
"Today, if you don't give a reasonable solution, I'll let you see what public opinion pressure is!"
The smile on Cao Wenbin's face grew wider.
Then he gave Xue Rou a look.
She understood.
The next moment, a ten - meter - long sword - light slashed without hesitation into the parade procession.
Without any accident, where the sword - light passed, the common people who had been coaxed over evaporated directly.
Suddenly, a vacant space appeared in the originally crowded parade procession.
Everyone was stunned!
No one expected that Cao Wenbin would act so suddenly!
That one strike just now killed at least a hundred people!
"Come on. Show me the so - called public opinion pressure."
"I'd like to see what it can do to me."
Wu Chengqian, who was awakened, shuddered, and then stammered, "You, how can you kill people?"
"Why can't I kill people?"
"Theoretically speaking, the entire Zhongzhou belongs to my Cao family."
"The people living here are all my private property."
"If I want to, not to mention killing these a hundred or so people, even if I destroy the entire Tianwu Imperial Dynasty, so what?"
After saying that, Cao Wenbin folded his arms and waited.
At this time, Wu Chengqian was playing a simulation in his mind.
He regarded Cao Wenbin as the evil force.
He and the people behind him were justice - loving netizens.
The Wu family was the high - level.
And the current situation was that the evil force had committed a crime, and the high - level either had no ability or didn't want to manage.
They, these justice - loving people, had already caused a huge stir on the Internet.
But then the evil force fought back.
They began to continuously eliminate the justice - loving people.
"What should I do..."
"What should I do..."
Wu Chengqian kept repeating this sentence.
But in the end, he despairingly found that he had no solution at all.
Because they had no means of counter - attack. They were just lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
"Out of ideas already? In that case, you and your supporters behind you can just die together."
Looking at the stunned Wu Chengqian, Cao Wenbin smiled.
Originally, he thought that the first Chosen One of Destiny to be killed by him should be Die Ke.
But unexpectedly, it was Wu Chengqian, who had higher qi - luck and future achievements.
Shaking his head, Cao Wenbin stopped thinking about these messy things.
After sacrificing the Devouring Heaven Tower, he directly manipulated it to smash towards Wu Chengqian's head.
"Bang~"
The red qi - luck was not enough to save his life. So, Wu Chengqian's head was directly smashed.
