Chapter 253(2/2)

If Qi Huizong really wanted to let go and just focus on cultivating Taoism and having fun, how could he return to a dangerous place like the capital?

Qi Yingzong obviously knew this very well, so he not only put Qi Huizong under house arrest, but also kicked away Qi Huizong's old ministers from the court. He even had something to do with the fact that he personally entered the Jin camp.

In fact, the Jin people originally wanted the Supreme Emperor to go over and "negotiate peace."

But Qi Yingzong, a wise man, immediately said, "You want to bypass me and establish a new central government? You are underestimating my IQ! If you want to go, then I will go in person!"

In this way, this wise man went to Jinying for Qi Huizong.

All in all, Qi Huizong actually regretted it at this time. Whether it was a Zen position or returning to the capital, the conflict between him and Qi Yingzong had reached an almost irreconcilable point.

At this time, King Yun gave him an excellent step.

That is to establish a new king!

Legally speaking, Qi Huizong has this power.

If the emperor is not in the palace and it is not known when he will return, then the royal family and ministers can plan to establish a new king.

Among the royal family, the Supreme Emperor naturally has the highest status. As long as the Supreme Emperor proposes this matter and all the ministers basically agree, then it can be done at this time.

However, the Supreme Emperor did agree, but these ministers were not so easy to talk to.

The ministers headed by Tang Qin almost wanted to lift the roof of Jinluan Palace on the spot and firmly disagreed.

The reason is very simple, they were all promoted by Qi Yingzong!

Just like Tang Qin, he was a member of the Zhuhe faction and was highly used by Qi Yingzong.

If the crown prince ascends the throne, then a child who doesn't understand anything will naturally still hold the power and have no influence.

But what if King Yun ascends the throne? Then he, the ruler of the previous dynasty, will almost certainly be eliminated.

The same is true for other ministers. Their interests have long been highly bound to Qi Yingzong. How could they allow King Yun to depose the emperor at this time?

Tang Qin frowned, preparing to argue.

Although he did not have the ability to negotiate peace with the Jin people, he still dared to cite scriptures and scold such a rebellious person in his own court.

It's just that His Highness King Yun glanced at him with disdain, as if he didn't take him to heart at all.

Tang Qin was a little confused.

He is the current Prime Minister, so as long as he doesn't nod, this deposed matter will almost certainly not be passed.

But... Judging from the expression on this King Yun's face, it seems that he has never cared about his thoughts?



At this time, outside the palace.

The imperial guards guarding the palace realized that something seemed wrong in the atmosphere.

The way these Western elites looked at them... there was something wrong.

Liu Fa roughly estimated the time in his mind, and then looked at Zhong Pingyuan.

The two looked at each other and nodded.

With a "clang" sound, Liu Fa and Zhong Pingyuan drew their swords out of their sheaths together.

"According to the decree of the Supreme Emperor! Follow His Highness King Yun to Qing Jun's side! On this trip, we will only kill Tang Qin and other traitors, and ignore the rest! If you dare to stop me, you will be killed without mercy!"

Just when the little leader of the Royal Forest Army was about to say something, Liu Fa had already stepped forward and chopped him to the ground with the long knife in his hand.

The elite Western troops behind Liu Fa and Zhong Pingyuan also drew their swords and rushed towards the palace!



"Rebel! Rebellious! The Western Army is rebellious..."

In the palace, such shouts could be heard from time to time.

But then, such shouts were replaced by screams.

Thousands of elite Western troops, like sharp knives, suddenly cut into the palace.

Although the imperial palace was guarded by imperial guards, the capital was surrounded and the emperor did not return. People in the city were already in a state of confusion. Naturally, these imperial guards were not as nervous as before.

What's more, although these imperial guards are the elite of the Forbidden Army, they have been in the imperial city and neglected training. They have rarely encountered life-and-death battles in the military formation. It is hard to say how much combat power they have left.

When it came into contact with the elite of the Western Army, it collapsed instantly.

More importantly, the slogan shouted by the Western Army.

According to the decree of the Supreme Emperor, we will work together with King Yun to clear the emperor's side!

Although these Imperial Guardsmen were the troops guarding the imperial city and seemed to have a close relationship with the emperor, in the final analysis, they were still warriors.

They were often ordered to participate in the emperor's search for property in the city and to give it to the Jin people.

Which of these soldiers in the city did not criticize a traitor like Tang Qin?

But in normal times, the power center of the entire Qi Dynasty can still operate normally, so even if these imperial guards are dissatisfied, they can't do anything but continue to hold their breath and carry out the tasks of the emperor and the governor.

At this time, the Western Army shouted the slogan "Qingjun side", and these imperial guards naturally did not commit the crime of risking their lives for a traitor like Tang Qin.

Therefore, either moving slowly or collapsing at the first touch, these Imperial Guards played almost no role in blocking the Western Army.

Not long after, the elite of the Western Army had surrounded the entire palace.

Liu Fa and Zhong Pingyuan led their new soldiers directly to the outside of the hall.

The two men walked into the hall wearing armor and carrying swords, with the smell of blood still on their bodies.

The officials in the court were already in chaos: "You! You are trying to rebel!"

The two came to the main hall and knelt down with their swords on the ground: "Greetings to the Supreme Emperor! Greetings to His Royal Highness King Yun!

"His Royal Highness King Yun is leading the Western Army in accordance with the Emperor's secret decree and is waiting for orders outside the palace!"

Qi Huizong's expression at this time was confused.

Secret edict?

When did I give them the secret order...

But when he saw the murderous Western troops outside the palace, he didn't dare to say a word.

At this time, the expressions on the faces of Tang Qin and other ministers had gradually changed from anger to fear.

They pointed at King Yun: "You... what on earth do you want to do!"

Fan Cun ignored the group of people and said coldly while walking up the steps to the throne: "Tang Qin and other thieves betrayed the country and sought glory, obstructed the war, and caused countless soldiers to sacrifice their lives for the country and plunder the people for the Jin people.

It has caused countless families to lose their lives!

"Since I have succeeded to the throne, I should eradicate the traitors and eliminate harm for the people!

"Come here, drag these traitors down and behead them!

"The head is hung at the gate of the imperial city as a warning to others!"

Before Tang Qin and others could react, the murderous Western Army swarmed them, dragged them out, and beheaded them immediately.

Those who responded slowly were also killed along with Tang Qin.

There were also some people who were aware of current affairs and immediately realized that if they refused to give in at this time, their lives would be in danger. They hurriedly knelt on the ground and shouted: "The country has a wise king, which is a blessing to the country! Your Majesty should ascend the throne as soon as possible to appease the people!"

Other ministers also reacted and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty should come to Dabao as soon as possible to appease the people!"

According to normal procedures, King Yun should decline at this time.

After declining three times, he could reluctantly ascend to the throne.

But Fan Cun was too lazy to pay attention to the red tape and sat on the throne directly.

"Everyone is safe!"

In the blink of an eye, the important ministers who had just been scolding Fang Qiu in the court had already embarked on two different paths.

Either kneeling on the ground and shouting long live the mountain, or turning into a bloody head.

More than a dozen officials headed by Tang Qin were killed in the blink of an eye.

Other officials also knelt on the ground in panic.

Apparently there were many former ministers of Qi Yingzong among them, and their original intention was to oppose King Yun's ascension to the throne. However, facing the bloody butcher's knife at this time, they could only follow their hearts.

Fan Cun watched coldly.

It's just that although his face is calm, his heart is a little drummed.

"Your Majesty, did you kill too much..."

The phantom of Sheng Taizu stood beside him and snorted coldly: "I just killed a few of them, and there will be more to kill in the future!

"So what if all these mediocre officials are killed? In the worst case, you can handle the political affairs of the DPRK and China by yourself."

In the Qi Dynasty, scholar-bureaucrats were not killed.

Although there have been some exceptions before, in general, the officials of the Qi Dynasty were treated favorably, and it had never happened before that more than a dozen ministers were killed in a row like this.

Therefore, while these ministers were frightened, they were also a little surprised and angry.
