The beautiful imperial concubine's eyes swept fiercely towards the courtiers who didn't kneel down. The corners of her mouth closed into a cold arc like a blade, and her face showed her contempt for all sentient beings as mole ants.
"It seems that you want to be together with Xie Jiming..." she paused here, and the corners of her mouth raised a trace of ridicule: "no adults, do you want to be dismissed and investigated like Xie Jiming?"
Surrounded by swordsmen, the snow reflected the bright tip of the knife, and then reflected on their faces, like countless flickering edges.
There are also some people who can't stand the pressure surrounded by this kind of war. This sentence is like the last straw, which makes them bend their knees.
"As soon as you kneel down, you will not be loyal to the emperor of the state of Xiao in the future." Xiao Zimu's cold voice sounded. He glanced at the ministers who bent their knees and wrote them down one by one.
The crawling courtiers stiffened, only felt their eyes pierced on their backs, and didn't even dare to lift their heads.
"Emperor?" The beautiful imperial concubine has a pair of willow eyebrows like a frown but not a frown, and her eyes are full of disdain.
She sighed: "the emperor's time is coming, and the palace has been hiding it, and let the imperial doctor hide it, just for fear of unrest between the government and the public. The crown prince is ordered to supervise the country. He is a person appointed by the emperor and will naturally inherit the great unification and become the emperor in the future."
The last four words of imperial concubine Li, like a thunder, split in everyone's heart, and also made Xiao Yanjun hold his head high and come to her with confidence. His eyes swept over the creeping courtiers one by one: "in the future, you will naturally be the brachial ministers of the crown prince."
Although Baiguan knew that the emperor had been in poor health, he didn't expect to be so fast.
No wonder concubine Li dares to be so rampant. It seems that the emperor really can't
Kong Changhui looked angry and rushed forward to point at them and scolded, "bah, the emperor hasn't died yet. Can't wait? Wolf ambition!"
Xiao Yanjun showed a cold smile. The smile spread, and the backhand threw Kong Changhui a slap.
A crisp sound of "pa" echoed in the hall
He looked at the courtiers who bowed and straightened their backs and snorted coldly, "the road has been paved for Aiqing. Whether to follow the crown prince to create a prosperous era or dig their own graves, you are welcome."
Xiao Zimu just wanted to hold Kong Changhui, but he only had time to catch a corner of his clothes, and others had rushed out.
Seeing that he had suffered a loss, he hurried forward.
At the same time, Wu Taifu also went to Cheng zhaobing and Yu Bangzhen who had knelt down.
He looked at those two people with a clear and proud look. He knelt down on his knees and said generously: "just die and let my blood sprinkle on you cowards who betray the king and forget their righteousness."
Hearing this, the kneeling officials stiffened and looked shocked, and several ashamed tried to get up.
Xiao Yanjun stretched out his hand to draw his sword, but was held down by imperial concubine Li: "Wu Taifu is an auxiliary Minister of the three dynasties. He can't be killed. He can't sit in the throne without him."
She then walked over to Wu Taifu and moved gently with an enchanting gesture: "if you want to die rather than surrender, the palace wants to enclose you in the palace for the rest of your life and declare your loyalty to the crown prince, so that the people can take you as the leader."
Wu Taifu suddenly opened his eyes, pointed to concubine Li and scolded, "you poisonous woman."
The beautiful imperial concubine chuckled and brushed her sleeves: "don't worry, it's good to eat and drink. It just keeps you from moving and talking."
The people who had just been moved by Wu Taifu were ashen and knelt down again. Imperial concubine Li had unscrupulously wanted to make Wu Taifu into a sculpture at Xiao Yanjun's accession ceremony. What can they do.
Min Zhisong finally bent his knees. The general trend is that even now he sees the ruthlessness of concubine Li and wants to turn back, it's too late
At the moment when his knee touched the ground, Yu Yecheng's loud scolding sounded outside the palace: "step back."
Concubine Li frowned. When Xiao Zimu asked Xin Ya to invite Yu Yecheng to confront her, she didn't send someone to stop Yu Yecheng because Yu Yecheng was detained by Xiao Yanjun. It's useless even if Xin Ya went, and the guard camp won't let him out without an order.
But why did Yu Yecheng appear outside the palace at this time?
When she was puzzled, she saw that the bodyguard outside the hall also made way. Yu Yecheng came in with those who had been ordered to guard him in the bodyguard camp.
Xiao Yanjun was stunned and then pointed to the people behind Yu Yecheng and scolded, "who asked you to let him out?"
Yu Ye made a ceremony: "naturally, he was ordered by his Royal Highness the prince."
Concubine Li turned her eyes to Xiao Yanjun. Xiao Yanjun was also stunned and very confused. She quickly replied to concubine Li, "my son didn't make this order."
He then turned and looked at Yu Yecheng: "you're talking nonsense and passing false orders. Don't take him back quickly!"
The people behind Yu Yecheng were motionless, and Xiao Yanjun's eyes were sharp: "why, do you want to rebel with him?"
Yu Yecheng sneered and looked up at him: "it was you who rebelled. They listened to the order of the crown prince. What's the matter with you?"
As soon as these words came out, the hall was stunned.
Even those kneeling courtiers who had been afraid to look up looked up at Yu Yecheng curiously.
Isn't Xiao Yanjun the prince? Why is Yu Yecheng so self contradictory?
Min Zhisong was scolded outside Yu Yecheng's palace, and his knee just touched the ground was already raised. At present, after listening to his words, his eyes brightened and asked, "what does commander Yu mean by this?"
Yu Yecheng pointed to Xiao Yanjun and shouted, "he falsely preached the imperial edict and planned to usurp the throne."
Speaking of this, he paused again, glanced at the courtiers kneeling on the ground, and finally his eyes fell on Yu Bangzhen, who was most familiar to him, with a sullen look on his face: "do you still want to kneel?"
Yu Bangzhen, the Minister of Honglu temple, took the lead in refuting: "as evidenced by the imperial edict, Duke Li personally announced that Yu Tong led you to step down quickly and stop talking nonsense."
In fact, the reason why Yu Yecheng was not severely punished under the power of imperial concubine Li.
Thanks to Yu Bangzhen pleading for him, Yu Yecheng, as the emperor's personal bodyguard, had to take off his skin even if he didn't die.
But Yu Bangzhen has done so many things for concubine Li. So far, he has only made a request with tears, that is, to keep Yu Yecheng alive. He repeatedly promised to persuade him to surrender.
Therefore, Princess Li finally thought about his love with him over the years, but put Yu Yecheng under house arrest in the guard camp without hurting the killer.
It was also intended that after Xiao Yanjun registered, the overall situation had been set, and then let Yu Bangzhen persuade him to surrender.
"Stubborn." Yu Yecheng looked at her. Until now, he was still kneeling on the side of concubine Li. He was angry in his heart.
He went to Xiao Zimu's side, took out a volume of imperial edict from his arms, and announced in a loud voice: "emperor Xiao ordered that Xiao Zimu, the seventh son of the emperor, belong to the will of heaven, carry the inspection ceremony, obey the public opinion, and sincerely inform heaven and earth, ancestral temple and country, grant a Book of treasure, and establish him as the crown prince of the emperor. He is in the East Palace, with the unity of ten thousand years and the heart of the four seas."
