097 “Drunken Bones (Guyan 1v1 High H)”

“Boldly thank you Ciyan!” The emperor was furious, pretending to be calm on his face, but actually he was a little panicked in his heart.”Do you know what treason you are saying!”

On second thought, maybe Xie Ciyan was just intimidating him.The palace was so tightly guarded, with his imperial guards patrolling every place. If Xie Ciyan’s army had already surrounded the palace, how could he not know about it.

Thinking of this, the emperor’s panic calmed down a little. Maybe Xie Ciyan was just bluffing to blackmail him into letting Yan Zhaozhao go.He sneered lightly, “Thank you Ciyan, don’t show off in front of me. The army you went to fight in Feng Country are also my soldiers. How can they rebel with you?!”

“Your soldiers?” He chuckled as if he had heard some joke, his splayed brows and eyes full of mockery.”What do you use to feed them? Have you forgotten that as early as two years ago, when you no longer allowed me to go out to fight, you cut off the food and grass for the army. May I ask, where are your soldiers!”

The emperor was speechless for a moment, as if he had not thought of this matter.But Xie Ciyan still remembered that the emperor at that time was extravagant and extravagant, and just raising the concubines in the harem cost a lot of gold and silver in the treasury.However, the emperor did not restrain himself at all. There were more and more concubines in Jin Dynasty, and the money he spent every day was like running water.

As the treasury gradually became empty, the emperor began to think about food and grass.In his words, the prosperous country was already peaceful and prosperous, and no more wars were needed. The money spent on buying grain and grass could be used in the right place.

How ridiculous that the emperor of a country would abandon his most important military force just to indulge in lust.At that time, the emperor was greedy for sexual pleasure and abandoned his army.Xie Ciyan privately raised them all, and even strengthened them, turning them into his own army. Today, the emperor was defeated by the army he abandoned at the beginning.

“Where is Huo, Huo Sui?!” The emperor was completely panicked. He seemed to have just remembered at this moment that he had no military power.Because Xie Ciyan guarded the prosperous country, most of the people in the court were civil servants, and he also valued civil servants more. There were very few generals available in the palace, and he could only think of Huo Sui.”Yes! I also have Huo Sui!”

He was about to walk out of the Yangxin Hall to call for someone to escort him. When he saw that Xie Ciyan did not stop him at all and even made way for him, an alarm bell suddenly sounded in his heart. He paused and looked at Xie Ciyan with a wary expression.

“Huo Sui?” Xie Ciyan sneered, the mockery in his eyes even more intense.”The leader currently suppressing the troops at the gate of the palace is Huo Sui.”

The emperor’s eyes were full of disbelief, and only at this moment did he finally understand fear.”No, it’s impossible…”

Xie Ciyan didn’t want to talk nonsense with him anymore, and went straight to tell him the cruel truth.”Not only Huo Sui, there are many people in your palace who are under my command. I have been waiting for an opportunity to pull you off the throne. I originally wanted to give you a few more days to have a happy birthday, but since you are toasting and refusing to eat, then it is no wonder that I want you to abdicate today!”

His return to Fengguo to fight was just a superficial effort. In fact, he had already arranged everything outside, and he only waited for his military success to gain fame and force him into the palace.However, something happened suddenly tonight, so he had to advance his plan. Even if he was Wuming, he would drag this foolish king off the throne!

The emperor was completely panicked, and his face no longer looked as proud as before.”No…no!” He seemed to suddenly remember something, suddenly shouted, and then looked up to the sky and laughed, as if he was crazy.”I, I am the legitimate emperor! I am a direct bloodline, and only the emperor’s heirs of direct bloodline in the Sheng Kingdom are qualified to inherit the throne! And you, Xie Ciyan, are just a bastard, why do you want me to give up the throne! You are treasonous, and all the civil and military officials in the dynasty will oppose it! I am the real emperor!”

Xie Ciyan’s lips curved into a smile, and his eyes were full of indifference.”You are relying on your direct bloodline and thinking that no one can pull you down, so you have been acting so wantonly and ruined this originally prosperous age into this filthy and dirty state!” There was a stern look on his eyebrows, step by stepApproaching the emperor, “But have you forgotten? The emperor on the Dragon Throne must be of direct bloodline, but there must be a prosperous age before an emperor is needed. If this prosperous age is reduced to ruins and chaos, what’s the use of having an emperor of direct bloodline?!”

He pressed forward step by step, and the emperor retreated step by step until he could no longer retreat. His leg sockets hit the edge of the bed and he fell back uncontrollably.Xie Ciyan looked at him condescendingly, admiring his current embarrassing appearance.”Have you ever done anything for the people of our Sheng Dynasty in the years since you came to the throne? In addition to knowing about sexual pleasures and extravagance, what else do you know? You don’t know the way to govern a country, and you don’t know the way to run an army. Countless loyal ministers have died in your hands, and they are all loyal ministers of our Sheng Kingdom. What happened to them is seen by all the officials in the court. What you do is extremely chilling. Why are you still so confident that they still regard you as their king?”

“No, it’s impossible!” The emperor was so anxious that he clenched his fists and beat the bed. He opened his mouth to refute him, but his throat seemed to be pinched and he couldn’t say a word. He could only deny it weakly, “All the officials in the dynasty are loyal to me! Even if you force the palace, you are still a treacherous minister and traitor. How can they allow you to sit on the dragon throne!”

“The loyalty of the courtiers is to this prosperous country, not to you, a foolish king!” His eyes were indifferent, a faint smile flashed across his lips, but his tone was so cold that people could not help but feel chills running down their spines.”It just so happened that I asked Huo Sui to summon all the officials to attend the court early. Now I am waiting at the Jinluan Hall. Why don’t you go with me to hear their opinions and see whether they want you, the foolish king, to continue to sit firmly on the throne, or to welcome the new king to the throne.”

“Okay!” The emperor suddenly smiled, and couldn’t help but secretly scold Xie Ciyan for being stupid. If he was allowed to go in front of the courtiers and officials, he could openly punish Xie Ciyan in front of the courtiers, and even get rid of him completely.He never doubted that those courtiers would let him abdicate. He was the true emperor with direct blood and his destiny. How could they not kneel at his feet!

The emperor took the lead to leave the Yangxin Hall and walked quickly towards the Jinluan Hall.Xie Ciyan was not in a hurry at all. The palace was already full of his people, so he was not afraid of what tricks he would play, and he had no such brains.

Xie Ciyan walked up to Yan Zhaozhao, not as gentle as before, with calm eyes and a calm tone.”Don’t run around, wait for me back in Jinyuan.”

“But…” Yan Zhaozhao was about to say something to him, but Xie Ciyan didn’t give her the chance. After speaking, he walked directly past her and walked out of the Yangxin Hall, without even looking back at her.

Xie Ciyan had never treated her like this before, and he had just experienced a thrilling experience on the verge of life and death, and was still a little shaken, but now she was treated with such indifference, which made her feel uncomfortable.Her nose was sore and there was a little mist in her eyes. Xie Ciyan was still annoyed that she was so close to the emperor.

Yan Zhaozhao sniffed, raised her eyes and glanced at Xie Ciyan’s retreating back. Finally she put away her temper and walked obediently to Jinyuan.

The solemn Jinluan Hall was filled with a crowd of courtiers.They all had blank and solemn expressions on their faces, whispering quietly to their colleagues beside them. Their eyes glanced at the row of troops standing outside from time to time, and they suddenly felt a sense of uneasiness in their hearts.

“The Emperor and the Regent have arrived——”

As soon as the eunuch’s loud chant came out, the eyes of the courtiers all became a little brighter, as if they were secretly happy for the regent’s triumphant return.They were about to kneel down and salute, but they were stopped by the emperor who was suddenly walking towards him. He pointed at Xie Ciyan who was walking towards him and shouted angrily: “Regent Xie Ciyan intends to rebel, I will punish him to death!”

There was silence in the Jinluan Palace, and you could hear a needle drop.The courtiers looked at each other, not knowing how to react for a moment.They were not doubting what the emperor said, but they were wondering why the regent came here with him even though there was no bodyguard accompanying the emperor since he was plotting rebellion. What was the purpose?

Xie Ciyan took a step forward and stood with his hands behind his back.Leng Ran’s voice echoed throughout the Jinluan Palace, making those who listened couldn’t help but straighten their backs.”I have invited you all here just to ask, if today my king wants this foolish king to abdicate in favor of someone worthy of his throne, will all the ministers agree?”

The courtiers were horrified and fell to their knees one after another, but they did not dare to say a word.

When the emperor saw that everyone was silent, he became even more angry.”Why are you silent!” He subconsciously wanted to find a memorial and throw it at them, but now he and Xie Ciyan were standing under the dragon chair together, and there was no memorial at hand.Anger filled his throat, and he raised his foot to kick the elderly prime minister nearest to him.

But just when he was about to touch the prime minister’s shoulder, the emperor’s knees suddenly felt pain and he staggered back a few steps.When he raised his eyes, he saw Xie Ciyan holding a copper coin in his hand with an indifferent expression.”Boldly thank you Ciyan! How dare you damage my dragon body!”

Prime Minister Zuo is a veteran of the two dynasties and is now in his sixties.He suddenly opened his slightly cloudy eyes and thanked him. His voice was pale but rich, “My lord, I would like to accept the regent as the emperor!”

It was not that he didn’t know that the emperor was incompetent, had no virtue and talent, and was not a good king of the country.But relying solely on the emperor’s direct bloodline, he had repeatedly tolerated and assisted for many years, hoping that one day the emperor would enlighten him and benefit the people of Mingming.But over the years, he has been disappointed again and again.If there were no other candidates and no other capable people to compare with him, he might not have such thoughts. However, the regent has repeatedly made achievements and has the ability to govern the country. Compared with the emperor, he can clearly see his superiority.

Moreover, the heartfelt words of the civil servant not long ago are still lingering in his mind. If he continues to worship the faint emperor as the emperor, the prosperous country is really not far from being destroyed.Just looking at the fact that the emperor was forced into the palace, but had no power to fight back. He could only speak nonsense in front of the ministers, but was unable to move the regent in the slightest. It can be seen that he could not even protect his own throne. How could he be relied on to protect the peace of the people of Dasheng.Perhaps, by handing over the now riddled Sheng Kingdom to the hands of the regent, we can make a desperate move to make the people peaceful and prosperous.

All the ministers in the court were people who acted according to the wind, and some of them were already dissatisfied with the actions of the emperor in front of them.Seeing that the highly respected Prime Minister Zuo had already spoken, the courtiers who were eager to move also responded and said in unison: “I would like to accept the regent as the emperor. Please take over the throne!”

As if shouting out what they were thinking, most of the courtiers had loud voices, shouting with a sincere heart for the people. The lingering sound echoed in the huge Jinluan Palace, like the sound of ocean waves, lingering for a long time.
