Liang Xing's shout was loud and clear, but no one listened to him, the Sanshui Army soldiers continued to retreat in an orderly fashion. Tang Yin did not bother with Liang Xing immediately, but turned to look at the executioners who knelt Wu Yu on the ground. Without him saying anything, the executioners all shivered when they saw Tang Yin's gaze sweeping over them. They subconsciously let go of Wu Yu, looked at each other, and ran down the execution platform at the same time.
After they left, Tang Yin walked up to Wu Yu and reached out to help him up. But at this time, Wu Yu could no longer even stand steadily. Seeing that, Jiang Fan immediately walked forward and held Wu Yu tightly. Tang Yin looked at the extremely miserable Wu Yu, and his heart was moved as well. He said with furrowed brows: "During this period of time, you have frightened Prime Minister Wu."
Without waiting for him to speak, Wu Yu's eyes reddened and tears fell. The old man sobbed and said in a trembling voice, "Young Master Tang, you're finally back, you …" "You must uphold justice for this old man …" Perhaps it was due to him being too agitated from surviving such a disaster, the old man's eyes rolled up in the middle of his sentence. Before he could catch his breath, he had already fainted.
"Prime Minister Wu!" "Father!"
Wu Yu suddenly fainted. Tang Yin and Wu Mei were both shocked as they went forward. Tang Yin secretly heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the old man was unconscious and not worried about his life. Wu Mei, on the other hand, reported to Wu Yu and cried loudly. At this time, Qiu Zhen led the rest of the Tianyuan Army warriors out of the crowd. Seeing Tang Yin, they were both surprised and happy, all of them jumped onto the execution platform, knelt down, and kowtowed to Tang Yin.
Looking at Qiu Zhen and the others, Tang Yin felt angry and amused at the same time. If they had not ignored Liang Xing's rebellion, how could things have developed to this stage, but then again, if things had not developed to such an extent, it would have been difficult for him to kick Wu Yu, Liang Xing, Ziyang Haochun and the other senior officials in the imperial court out!
He intentionally maintained a deadpan expression so that no one could see what he was thinking. Slightly waving his hand, he said, "All of you, get up!"
"Yes!" "My Lord!" After Qiu Zhen and the others stood up, they all stood to the side. Maybe it was because they felt guilty in their hearts, but they did not even dare to raise their heads, much less look straight at Tang Yin.
Tang Yin took a deep breath, he finally turned back and looked at Liang Xing who had an ugly expression on his face. After sizing up Liang Xing for a moment, Tang Yin smiled and said: "Prime Minister Liang, it's been a while, why are you wearing the King's Robe?"
The calmer his expression was, the more nervous and uncertain Liang Xing was. Right now, he had no other choice but to face Tang Yin head on. Liang Xing raised his head, forcing himself to reveal the arrogance a king should have, and said loudly: "This king has already been officially crowned king since the beginning of the month under the advice of hundreds of civil and military officials …"
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Tang Yin revealed a different expression, and laughed leisurely: "Honored king? Why have I never heard of this? "
"At that time, the Master Tang was not in the Yan City!"
"Then can the Prime Minister Liang take this opportunity to claim the throne?"
Right now, there were close to two hundred thousand citizens present. Listening to Tang Yin and Liang Xing's conversation, the citizens were also whispering amongst themselves.
"This King has already said that calling him king is the opinion of the civil and military officials of the imperial court …"
"Since when can the civil and military officials replace the Son of Heaven?" Tang Yin interrupted him once again, and laughed coldly: "In the entire empire, only the Son of Heaven has the power to rule the Empire over the Son of Heaven. Prime Minister Liang, and all Masters, please tell me, when did your status rise above the Son of Heaven?"
Upon hearing this, not only Liang Xing's face turned pale, all of the officials beside him also trembled in fear, and almost kneeled to the ground. The Son of Heaven did not have any authority right now, but no one dared say that they had surpassed the Son of Heaven.
The commoners started to discuss amongst themselves, most of them agreeing with Tang Yin's words, thinking that Liang Xing's title of king was too urgent, and that he could only be advised by the hundred officials of Feng Country, but not bestowed upon him by the Son of Heaven.
Tang Yin and the others could not answer for a long time. Tang Yin stopped smiling, narrowed his eyes and said faintly: "Prime Minister Liang, your title of king does not contain the decree of the Son of Heaven, and you do not have the title of Son of Heaven bestowed upon you. You are just establishing yourself as a king, so from this, what is the difference between you and the traitor Zhong Tian?"
With just one sentence, Liang Xing was drenched in sweat, his scalp went numb and his hair almost stood on end. He was left speechless as he pointed at Tang Yin's nose and shrieked, "Tang Yin, you … If you don't slander me, This King... This King... " He said a few words of This King, but was unable to finish.
"Humph!" Tang Yin snorted and said: "Prime Minister Liang, I think you should take off your King's Robe first. As for who will become the new ruler of our Feng Country, the Son of Heaven will make his own decision and establish himself as king, you will only bring dishonor and dishonor to our Great Gale, and cause us Wind Men to be unable to raise our heads in front of the other kingdoms. You might even cause us, the Great Gale, to be in grave danger because of your disrespect to the Son of Heaven!"
Tang Yin's words were reasonable, every word hit the nail on the head. Liang Xing and the other ministers were also speechless, and were unable to say anything for a long time. Just then, the people below could not hold it in anymore. At the start, there were only a small amount of shouting, but it quickly became a group of shouting. Everyone shouted loudly: "Liang Xing, abdicate the throne! Liang Xing, step down from the throne! "
The shouts of over a hundred thousand people were like thunder as they shot straight into the clouds, echoing endlessly for a long time.
This time, Liang Xing was stunned, the ministers by his side were also stunned, they all looked at each other, riding the tiger without any way of getting down. Qiu Zhen and the rest, on the other hand, could not help but raise the corners of their mouths and reveal smiles. Master was truly exceptional, before even using his blade and sword, with just three eyes, he was able to completely disgrace the Sovereign King Liang Xing, making him lose all face. In front of Master, such a scheming Liang Xing was already childish and laughable.
Looking at Liang Xing who stood on the stage, who was furious but could not say a single word, Tang Yin laughed and said: "Prime Minister Liang, you have been managing your Yan City really hard these days, why don't you go back and rest at your residence now?"
"You …"
Tang Yin had the authority of Tianyuan Army, so he was unable to defeat him. In terms of fighting, if Tang Yin did not let go of the Flag that was like the Son of Heaven, he would not be able to beat him either. He clenched his fists, and asked seriously: "It's been almost two years since the Former King's murder, and for such a long time, the Son of Heaven has yet to appoint a new Sovereign King of Feng Country. If the Son of Heaven has never made his decision, would we have to continue waiting?"
"Then we'll just set a time limit of one month!" Tang Yin replied with a smile.
Liang Xing was startled, and asked: "What do you mean?"
"Within a month, if the edict from the Son of Heaven has reached me, then it's fine. But if I don't receive the edict within a month, then the new Emperor will have to make another decision!" Tang Yin said in a clear voice.
"Good!" It was a deal! We will use one month's time as the deadline! " As if afraid that Tang Yin would go back on his words, Liang Xing agreed straightforwardly. The Son of Heaven had not appointed a new Sovereign King for such a long time, he did not believe that the Son of Heaven's edict would suddenly reach his Feng Country in just one month. Without the decree from the Emperor, the new Emperor would still be chosen by the ministers, but Wu Yu and his trusted aides would either all be killed or turned against him, so there was nothing to worry about. As for Tang Yin, it was fine for him to lead the troops to war, but if the ministers were to elect the Emperor, almost no one would choose him, he had no military authority either.
After he finished speaking, Liang Xing's complexion had finally recovered and he had a confident smile. He waved his hand to the ministers on his left and right, saying, "You guys take this … I will return to the palace! " Liang Xing tactfully no longer called himself duke. He paused for a moment, looked at Wu Yu and Ziyang Haochun, and continued, "As for this subject Wu Yu, this subject shall be decided after the new Monarch is chosen!"
Now that Tang Yin was here, he understood that it was no longer possible to kill the two of them forcefully, so he might as well let them go for now. After a month, he would officially become the Sovereign King and kill the two of them, then Tang Yin would have no way to stop him.
"Wait a minute!" Seeing that Liang Xing wanted to leave, Tang Yin waved his hand to stop him.
Liang Xing looked at Tang Yin in puzzlement, not knowing what he was going to do next.
Tang Yin laughed and reminded him: "Since Prime Minister Liang is not my sovereign right now, it's not good to continue living in the palace, right?"
This damned Tang Yin! Liang Xing cursed, but he could not refute his. Taking a deep breath, he waved his sleeves and said unhappily: "Return to the residence!"
Liang Xing brought his ministers and guards to leave angrily. At this time, Le Tian and Jiang Fan hastily walked to Tang Yin's side and worriedly asked, "Sir …"
On the way back, Tang Yin had already told them about the process of meeting the Son of Heaven, who seemed to be approved by the Son of Heaven to be the new ruler of the Feng Country. However, the Son of Heaven had never said that he would write an imperial edict, and with such a huge matter, the Son of Heaven needed to discuss it with the ministers.
Tang Yin understood their concerns, and nodded: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
The moment his words fell, Qiu Zhen and the rest all surrounded him and started talking at once: "Master, Minister of Imperial Court is basically Liang Xing's trusted aides now!" That's right! If the ministers were to elect the monarch, I'm afraid the person chosen would be Liang Xing. "
Tang Yin waved his hands, interrupting everyone's words, and said casually: "We'll talk when we get back!" After saying that, he continued, "Prepare a carriage to send Prime Minister Wu back to her residence to rest first!"
"Yes!" "My Lord!" Qiu Zhen and the rest nodded their heads.
Tang Yin walked out of the Law Entrance accompanied by Qiu Zhen and the others.
Through their conversation just now, the commoners had all sincerely admired and respected him. At this time, Tang Yin's prestige in the hearts of the commoners had already faintly surpassed that of the traditional nobles, such as Liang Xing, Wu Yu.
