om last night. Everyone in the Eastern family knows it, even the grocery lady."The Eastern man, Jie, laughed and said, “My sister’s room, it's never been entered by a man in all these years.”You not o..."Five million high-grade spirit stones"

Even Ye Bufan was taken aback by the number and couldn't help but look over.

Even the wealthiest families within this imperial city wouldn't possess more than a few hundred thousand in their coffers. How could this person possibly come up with so much money all at once

At the same time, everyone's eyes turned to the source of the sound.

The speaker was a young man in white, the seventh prince of the Daxing Empire, Tuoba Shang.

He, like the fifth prince, Tuoba Tao, was a prince, but the throne seemed impossibly distant.

But this person, despite their young age, possesses a deep and cunning heart. They have always remained hidden, biding their time, and today, the opportunity for them to burst forth has finally arrived.

Ye Bufan sized him up from head to toe. The man had piercing eyes, his determination laced with a hint of excitement.

He asked with interest, "Are you sure you have so many spirit stones"

"I don't have."

Tuoba Shang's answer was completely unexpected.

A flash of killing intent crossed Zhongli Mei's face as he coldly said, "You dare to call for five million without the money Do you think you are playing with my master"

"I don't, but they do!"

Tuoba still had no panic, raising his hand and pointing at the princes present: "As long as I ascend to the throne, their money will all be mine. At that time, giving Dr. Ye five million top-grade spirit stones will be no problem at all."

"This..."

Upon hearing this, Tuo Ba Wei and Tuo Ba Tao along with others were immediately agitated. They never expected that the other party would target them before even ascending to the throne.

These people were very angry, but due to Ye Bufan's majesty, they could only curse in their hearts and dared not show it.

"Not bad, got some ideas."

Ye Bufan saw that although Tuo Ba Shang seemed taciturn, he was definitely a ruthless character.

And very intelligent, knowing when to do what.

How much time do you need

"Two days."

"Tuoba Shang said, "First, please allow Dr. Ye to rest within the Imperial City. In two days, I will definitely present five million high-grade spirit stones with both hands."

Deal!

Ye Bufan directly made the decision, "From now on, you are the emperor of the Dàxīng Empire."

He was very clear that Tuo Ba Shang gave himself two more days, first to gather spirit stones, and second to borrow his power to stabilize the throne he had just sat on.

However, since I can get five million high-grade spirit stones myself, it doesn't matter if I give the other party some convenience.

Ye Bufan looked at the crowd: "From now on, he is the emperor of the Daxing Empire. This is my decision. Anyone who disagrees can stand up!"

After he finished speaking, there was an eerie silence in the room. While no one agreed with the decision, no one dared to speak up against it either.

They all knew very well that the young man, though he seemed to smile, was ruthless when he struck.

Even the ancestors of royalty have been killed, who would dare to stand up against them It's a dead end.

That's settled then. I'll give you two days.

Ye Bufan's words determined the fate of the Daxing Empire, and then he left the palace with everyone.

He believed that with his own prestige and, in addition, Tuo Ba Shang's skill, it would be no problem to secure the throne.

As expected, that evening news spread throughout the Great Xing Empire that Tuo Ba Hongyi, due to illness, had directly ceded his position to the seventh prince, Tuo Ba Shang.

From royalty to commoners, everyone was somewhat surprised by this decision, but that didn't affect the outcome.

The next day, Tuo Ba Shang completed the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor. A general amnesty was declared throughout the land, and the order to hunt down Ye Bufan was revoked.

Meanwhile, sweeping reforms were implemented in the court, with key positions filled by loyalists.

While Ye Bufan was in the imperial city, no matter what he did, Tuo Ba Wei and the others could only endure silently and had no room to resist.

All news from within the Imperial Palace was tightly sealed. Except for a very small number of people, no one outside received any word about what was happening.

The entire imperial city was bustling with activity, unaffected by anything.

Ye Bufan nodded secretly after hearing the news from Zhang He. This Tuoba Shang was indeed a remarkable person, not only good at taking advantage of situations but also doing everything flawlessly.

Taking advantage of the amnesty, he had his own pursuit revoked, thus preserving both his face and avoiding any suspicion.

This has no effect on him, he just needs to wait until tomorrow to collect his money and leave.

Everyone rested at the inn for a day. The next day, Xia Qing couldn't stand staying in her room any longer. She tossed aside the game console in her hands and said, "Brother Ye, let's go out for a walk. I'm going to die of boredom."

Shopping is a woman's nature, and not only her, Nalanyu Jia, Lu Xue Man, and Hu Yao Yao also nodded frequently, indicating they want to go out for a stroll.

“Well, then let's go for a walk.”

Ye Bufan led the group out of the inn and wandered around in the imperial city.

As the most powerful empire in Tianluo State, its streets are extremely lively, bustling with people coming and going.

Xiaqing and several other girls were walking in front, seeing some snacks they bought some.

Nalan Yujia, a few girls are okay, after all, they don't eat much.

But Xiaoqing was like a bottomless pit, eating her way down the street after street, with no sign of being full.

A few people strolled along, enjoying the rare peace amidst the bustling crowd.

Next to the market, there was a teahouse. Two people were sitting by the window drinking tea: they were Zheng Wei, the Great Elder of Lingxiao Academy, and Zheng Yiheng, the eldest son of the Zheng family.

After the last newcomer's ranking match, news of what happened inevitably spread to the Lingxiao Academy headquarters.

Upon learning that the entire academy didn't even receive a single spot, he flew into a rage and immediately removed Zheng Wei from his position and expelled him. He even banished Zheng Yi Heng from Lingxiao Academy.

Without the title of Grand Elder of Lingxiao Academy, the Zheng family's status plummeted. Now they are in a precarious position within the Imperial City.

Zheng Wei sat there with a look of dejection on his face, while Zheng Yiheng was full of excitement: "Uncle, this time good things for our Zheng family have finally come."

"What good could possibly come of this"

Zheng Wei casually asked a sentence, in his view, it was difficult for the Zheng family to have any good things happen now.

"Uncle, let bygones be bygones. The Lingxiao Academy matter is over. Our Zheng family can still soar to great heights without relying on them."

Zheng Yiheng said, "It's time for our Zheng family to prosper. That old thing Tuoba Hongyi suddenly abdicated."

Zheng Wei looked up at him: "What does this have to do with us"

Of course there is!

Zheng Yiheng said excitedly, "Now that the seventh prince, Tubo Shang, has ascended the throne and bestowed the title of empress upon Pan Fei."

"The Empress's brother, Pan Sheng, is my dearest friend. We are closer than brothers. Now that he has risen in power to become the imperial uncle, our Zheng family will naturally benefit from his success."

After he finished speaking, Zheng Wei's eyes also lit up.

As the saying goes, "When the emperor changes, his ministers change," with a new dynasty in place, the new emperor will certainly cultivate his own power base.

As his nephew himself said, even if he left Lingxiao Academy, it would still be a good choice to rely on the royal family as a big tree.

"Well said, this is our Zheng family's chance."

Zheng Wei said, "Where is that Prince consort Let's go and make friends with him."

"Don't worry, Uncle Er. Pan Sheng and I are very close friends. He's at Baihua Building right now, and we'll be there soon."

Zheng Yihe took out a few gold coins and slapped them on the table. He stood up just about to leave, but when he saw a few people passing by downstairs, he froze instantly.other and child, and hung up the phone directly.He was originally planning to run to the bank and find out what was going on, but before he could even leave the house, the head of procurement rushed i...
