Extraordinary Realm from Persuasion System
Chapter 1223 - 485: Brutally Slaughtered (Part 2)Even Alina and Richard felt an unprecedented excitement.
"Master is wise! I pledge to serve like a loyal dog and horse, doing my utmost!"
The two spoke in unison, filled with passionate ambition.
"Very good, you all have such conduct." Zhang Beixing smiled slightly, his eyes full of affection.
The Persuasion System behind him also nodded slightly, feeling very gratified.
He suddenly stretched out a hand and pointed, the entire place instantly fell silent like clouds parting.
"Enough, the military affairs are about to arise, we need to be preventive."
"I have a word, I wonder if Zhang’er can comprehend it?"
"Please instruct without hesitation, senior!" Zhang Beixing tilted his head slightly upon hearing this.
Only to see the Persuasion System’s expression turn grave, eyes carrying immense weight:
"Be wary of those who plot harm without regard for their own lives, obstructing our grand plan."
"Therefore, it’s better to control the powers of the court and balance the powerful nobles first!"
These words made Zhang Beixing’s face darken, somewhat surprised.
But he quickly grasped the deeper meaning behind the senior’s words.
"What orders does the senior have? How should the disciple arrange?" Zhang Beixing asked solemnly, his expression serious.
The Persuasion System spoke slowly, with an incomparably majestic demeanor:
"Power is indeed the root of disaster, elites must not be without leadership."
"Therefore, the first priority is to encircle and assign heavy duties to the court baton."
"To prevent you all from having any thoughts of betrayal!"
Such a tactful expression, immediately made most civil and military officials’ faces turn pale.
They involuntarily shivered, feeling an inexplicable fear.
No wonder some harbor deadly intent toward the new Monarch.
Who could have imagined that as soon as he ascended to the throne, he would take such redundant precautions against the nobles?
Is this the conduct of a wise Monarch? It’s practically undisguised power manipulation!
Only Zhang Beixing, Alina, and Richard remained with normal expressions, showing no fear.
It seems they are well accustomed to the Master’s deep wisdom disguised as foolishness.
"Subordinates obey the order!"
The two responded in unison, with extraordinary bravery.
"Disciple remembers the senior’s teachings!" Zhang Beixing also answered respectfully.
"Return to the palace to arrange things, I shall remain to guard the house!"
Everyone hastily withdrew from court, not wanting to linger for fear of unforeseen events.
Once the grand hall regained its solemn tranquility, Zhang Beixing finally relaxed.
He slowly sat on the dragon throne, sighing leisurely.
"Senior, have I acted too hastily?"
He looked at the Persuasion System beside him, his expression gloomy.
"What I said earlier might have been somewhat ruthless."
"Zhang’er’s ambition is not small!" the Persuasion System smiled indifferently, taking no offense.
"But as I said, those at the court are ultimately treacherous and cunning."
"If allowed to flaunt their power, I’m afraid this dynasty will have no days of peace!"
Zhang Beixing frowned slightly, then shook his head.
It seems this senior’s words were not without reason.
That’s why he was so ruthless, to act first and eliminate the root of the trouble.
"Senior, you mentioned those who plot harm without concern. I am quite puzzled by this, please enlighten me!"
The Persuasion System heard this and became slightly grave:
"Zhang’er, have you forgotten about the former Emperor?"
"Didn’t we say to balance the powerful nobles? He is the greatest threat!"
Zhang Beixing was taken aback upon hearing this.
Oh, right! Although that former Emperor was deposed, once he regroups his confidants, he really is a potential disaster!
"What insights do you have, senior? I am all ears!"
The Persuasion System looked stern, eyes like torches:
"Immediately control the front bench, don’t give him a chance to retaliate!"
"Otherwise, the consequences will be endless, and we will never have peace!"
Zhang Beixing’s face changed sharply upon hearing this.
It was as if he realized some hidden danger, feeling a pang of fear in his heart.
"Disciple will go and arrange immediately!"
After saying that, he quickly left, his large sleeves waving.
The entire palace instantly became empty and desolate.
Zhang Beixing strode to the side palace, giving an order to the guard:
"Pass on my command, immediately control the front bench!"
"Leave no room for negligence regarding the former regime!"
The guard accepted the order and left, feeling a chill down his spine.
Though they held high positions, the new Monarch’s iron-fisted style still left people apprehensive.
Once all arrangements were in place, Zhang Beixing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, just then, a sudden cacophony of footsteps resounded outside the side palace.
Zhang Beixing could not help but furrow his brows, then extended a hand to stop the newcomer.
Only to see this person panting, face full of panic:
"Master, things have gone awry! The late Emperor of the previous dynasty... has been assassinated by a killer!"
"What?" Zhang Beixing was enraged upon hearing this.
He couldn’t help but pound the dragon table fiercely, his eyes blazing red.
"Such treachery for usurpation, is he utterly deranged and foolish?"
"Master, please calm your anger! The Disciple has already set up the Earth Net, and will surely capture the perpetrator!"
The Persuasion System calmly soothed, his expression unchanged.
"Whether the late Emperor died with grievances, the truth will reveal itself."
He casually waved his hand, everything was under control.
Alina and Richard secretly felt a heaviness, their expressions grave.
The master’s great endeavors had just commenced, how could such calamity strike?
What a pity, what a lament...
"What the elder said is true." Zhang Beixing forced his anger down, reassuming the Monarch’s demeanor.
"This matter cannot be underestimated, or it will surely be met with divine retribution!"
"Immediately issue my orders, enforce martial law throughout the city! If suspicious individuals are discovered, eliminate them at once!"
"Yes, as the Monarch commands!"
Richard and Alina took their orders and departed swiftly like lightning.
They understood that the most urgent task now was preventive measures, to avoid further ambush!
Zhang Beixing stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze icy cold to the core.
The late Emperor was dead, regardless of whether it was a wrongful death, there must be troublemakers behind it.
And these people will surely become his targets for thorough cleansing.
"Elder, the Disciple couldn’t help but feel he acted too hastily."
The Persuasion System shook his head, his eyes sharp as lightning:
"This is the power struggle, the darkness you will face."
"To preserve oneself, one must devise a long-term strategy."
"Thank you for your guidance, elder, the Disciple will keep it close to heart."
Zhang Beixing bowed deeply, his previously agitated feelings now somewhat assuaged.
The most important task right now is to thoroughly eliminate potential risks, maintaining overall stability.
When dawn broke, Zhang Beixing finally left the side temple, walking slowly down the palace corridor.
He saw that on both sides of this corridor, Palace Maids and Maids were lined up in kneeling obeisance.
Facing those unparalleled beauties, Zhang Beixing appeared oblivious as if he was unaware.
He merely nodded slightly, without any other words.
Yet the crowd was secretly startled, involuntarily feeling awe.
When had they ever seen such a gentleman’s demeanor?
The former Emperor dreamed of surrounding himself with Maids.
Whereas now, this new Monarch seemed completely unfazed by allure.
No wonder it’s said that he is so wise and discerning, truly admirable!
Suddenly, Zhang Beixing’s steps halted, his previously calm mood abruptly stirred.
He glanced aside, and saw a peerless beauty leaning against the wall, struggling to stand.
And on her palace attire... shockingly there were spots of fresh blood!
Had Zhang Beixing not been highly alert, he might not have noticed this abnormality.
"You... who are you? Why are you here?"
Zhang Beixing spoke indifferently, his gaze sharp as an arrow.
"Replying to His Majesty, I’m just a Palace Maid who was framed by villains, and narrowly escaped with my life."
The beauty answered tremblingly, seemingly beyond her strength.
Yet she still tried to stand upright, maintaining a composed posture as much as possible.
Such bravery and fearlessness instantaneously altered Zhang Beixing’s perspective.
He gestured with his finger, resulting in a lone Palace Maid left behind, while the others dispersed.
Leaving only this young lady sitting across from him in the corridor.
"It seems sister is also a brave person, could you detail the incident today? I shall preside over the matters!"
Upon hearing this, the beauty’s face drastically changed, she shuddered in shock.
However, she quickly calmed herself, speaking gravely:
"Last night, I was gathered by several people and forced into forbidden grounds. If not for secretly learning Martial Arts....."
"No need to say more." Zhang Beixing unexpectedly stopped her.
His expression serious, deep in thought:
"I have some thoughts in mind, this is no trivial matter."
"However, your temperament deserves my admiration."
The beauty was suddenly bewildered, receiving such praise from the Monarch, her knees nearly buckled in a swoon.
"Regardless of what happened, in the future your merits will be rewarded."
Zhang Beixing spoke casually, as if seeing through everything.
"Your Majesty, truth is... I was commissioned to assassinate the late Emperor."
The beauty felt sorrow, ultimately giving in.
She silently lowered her head, not daring to meet Zhang Beixing’s eyes.
"Even though the late Emperor was foolish and unrighteous, I understand he fell from power."
"But that night, they still ordered me to assassinate him, or else be murdered at once....."
Her voice trembled slightly, as if the bloody experience was still fresh in her memory.
"Indeed, it seems my speculation has finally been confirmed."
Zhang Beixing nodded, his gaze suddenly turning exceedingly dark.
