    Chapter Index

    Seeing that most of the civil and military officials were admonishing each other, the emperor’s face was so gloomy that it looked as if he could drip ink. His breathing became more rapid every time, and his emotions were already on the verge of anger.”Do you all want to rebel? Show me clearly that I am the emperor of this prosperous country, the only emperor!”

    Prime Minister Yan Huai, who was also kneeling in the front row, frowned and was thinking about something in his heart.He glanced behind him calmly. Some of his disciples and close colleagues were still waiting and watching and had not surrendered to the regent. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as there were people standing behind him to support him, he would have enough confidence to speak out and keep the emperor’s throne.

    “My lord, I object!” Yan Huai wrote in a loud voice, like a teacher of justice.”The current emperor is neither sick nor dead, so how can he be replaced rashly? If leading troops in battles and returning in triumph several times is a great achievement, and is regarded as a talented person qualified to ascend the throne, then wouldn’t every general be able to compete with the emperor for the throne? Wouldn’t our prosperous country be in chaos?!”

    Yanhuai spoke righteously, and looked like a loyal minister who was planning for the emperor.But in fact, he doesn’t care at all who will sit on the throne. He wants to keep the current emperor because he is easy to control and can be the prime minister who rules the court. Moreover, next month his daughter will become the empress of the Sheng Kingdom, with unlimited glory. By then, the lintel of his Yan family will be shining brightly, and no one can compare with it.

    Seeing the beautiful dream right before his eyes, how could he allow anyone to destroy the power and reputation he was about to gain?

    As soon as this statement came out, those courtiers who were in the same party as Yanhuai also commented in agreement.They are all like grasshoppers on a rope with Yan Huai, both prospering and losing. They all know that Yan Zhiyi will be canonized as the queen next month, and many of Yan Huai’s promises to them have not yet been fulfilled, so how can they watch the emperor being torn off the throne.

    They are used to living a wealthy life and have never seen what kind of life poor people live. They feel at ease and just want to continue to live a life of wealth and fame.

    Emperor Long Xin was delighted, “Okay! Prime Minister Yan said it well!” He suddenly seemed to have confidence again, “I am still standing here, why do you, a treacherous minister and traitor, pass over me and take the throne!”

    “Just because you are stupid and incompetent, you are not worthy of being the king of a country!” Xie Ciyan’s eyes were as sharp as a falcon, and he stared at the emperor with half-squinted eyes, but there was a majesty between his brows that could not be ignored.

    He took out a memorial from his arms and displayed it in front of the courtiers. His voice was low and powerful, and every word struck everyone’s hearts like a heavy hammer.”Fengguo and Anguo have already formed an alliance. One of them has wealth, and the other has troops. If they unite together, they are invincible. In such a losing situation, this so-called emperor actually asked me to lead the troops to conquer Fengguo without giving him any food and grass. Isn’t this just a dream?!”

    “Who of you still wants to regard the king of a country who has established a prosperous country and put his people in dire straits and dangers as the king!” Xie Ciyan handed the memorial in his hand to Yan Huai, “Prime Minister Yan just said it categorically and asked me how I could rashly replace the faint king., this memorial is the answer.During this expedition, I reached a ten-year alliance agreement with King Feng without even spending a single soldier. Emperor Feng has written it in black and white, and the national seal serves as a reminder. He will not send troops to conquer in the next ten years, and will establish a friendly state with our Sheng Kingdom.”

    Xie Ciyan was dressed in armor and stood tall and straight in the palace. His movements exuded an unquestionable majesty, and he even looked more like a monarch than the emperor wearing a dragon robe.”What you want is a foolish king who leads the courtiers and people to the path of national destruction, or a king who leads you to a prosperous age. I think you should know it well.”

    He stood condescendingly in front of Yan Huai, reaching out to him to get back the alliance agreement. His eyes looked at him with more disdain, “Does Prime Minister Yan still think that this king is not worthy of sitting on the dragon throne?”

    Yan Huai was at a loss for words, clenching her fists tightly but unable to think of anything to refute him.

    “You’re not worthy!” The emperor roared and suddenly walked towards Xie Ciyan.”What does Shengguo want from this alliance agreement?! I ordered you to go out to the war. What you want is to defeat Fengguo and unify the world!”

    The old Prime Minister Zuo closed his eyes and sighed and shook his head.Look, their so-called emperor doesn’t even know how important that alliance agreement is to their Sheng Kingdom.Shengfeng and Feng have always been at odds with each other. When the emperor first ascended the throne and was still young, he sent envoys with large amounts of gold, silver, money and horses to Feng to seek peace.However, the old emperor was cunning and only agreed verbally without writing a truce. However, he did not invade in the first few years after he ascended the throne.

    A large amount of gold and silver flowed out of the treasury, so that the treasury was empty. If the emperor cared about the affairs of the country and the common people, he would not have lost this gold and silver. However, the emperor not only did not bother to earn back the gold and silver, but even used the few remaining gold and silver to build a harem and draft a draft. The gold and silver also ate up with a lot of extravagance and squandering.Moreover, the emperor was still arrogant and thought that he had secured his throne, so he repeatedly provoked Fengguo. The truce between the two countries was a verbal agreement. How could the old emperor of Fengguo tolerate a yellow-haired child’s repeated offenses, so he attacked frequently.If it hadn’t been for the regent’s many campaigns that defeated the Feng Kingdom, the Sheng Dynasty would have been destroyed long ago.

    The relationship between the two countries is extremely tense, and there is an alliance between Feng’an and Feng’an. It is even more difficult to form an alliance with Feng’an again.But the regent was so talented that Feng Guo wrote a letter of alliance. It was written in black and white. It was a real truce that could not be denied.With this layer of protection, their prosperous dynasty can truly recuperate, and the people do not need to bear the displacement caused by war, and only then can the prosperous country move towards prosperity.

    But the emperor in front of him was unable to understand the benefits brought by this truce. He only thought about the spread of war and had no idea about the suffering of the people.With an emperor like this, how can the people live and work in peace and contentment, and how can a prosperous dynasty become a prosperous and powerful country one day?

    Xie Ciyan ignored the faint king and faced all the officials in the court.”I would like to ask you again, today I want Hun Jun to meditate on me, do you agree or not?”

    The foolish king does not know the importance of the truce, but he can ask himself, which of the officials in the court wants to fight.Their success as a prosperous country depends entirely on the regent’s ability to lead the army. If he cannot ascend the throne today and becomes a prisoner, and the Feng Kingdom invades in the future, they will only become the lowest prisoners of the Feng Kingdom.

    “I respectfully invite the regent to ascend the throne——”

    With a united will, their voices are louder than before, and they are no longer weak alone.Even Yan Huai’s disciples and colleagues no longer had any objections. Seeing that the situation was over, Yan Huai, the right prime minister, could only respectfully invite the new emperor to ascend the throne against his will, but he was already thinking about how to become the new emperor’s confidant like before.

    The corners of Xie Ciyan’s mouth turned up slightly, and a pair of eyes finally revealed a sincere smile.He turned around and walked towards the dragon chair. When he passed Hunjun’s side, he suddenly laughed softly, like a victor mocking the poor loser. Then he looked directly at the splendid dragon chair, stepped onto the steps steadily, and stood in front of the dragon chair.After a long while, he suddenly turned around and sat on the dragon chair. He held the exquisitely carved dragon head on the handle of the chair with one hand. When he raised his eyes again, there was a solemn expression between his brows.

    “I pay my respects to the new emperor. I wish the emperor long life and good fortune—”

    Xie Ciyan raised his hand and said, “Everyone is safe.”

    “Presumptuous!” The emperor’s face was ferocious and terrifying, like a roaring tiger. His fingertips trembled and he pointed directly at Xie Ciyan, who was already sitting on the dragon chair. “I am still standing here, how can you board my dragon chair like no one else is watching!”

    His phoenix eyes were squinting slightly, as if he no longer paid attention to this faint king, but there was a vague and sharp feeling between his eyebrows.”From the moment I sit on this dragon chair, you will no longer have a place in this Golden Palace.”

    Xie Ciyan looked a little sarcastic, “What qualifications do you have to stand in front of me like crazy?” He raised his eyes with a bit of carelessness and casually called: “Where is Huo Sui?”

    Huo Sui heard the words outside the door and quickly walked into the Jinluan Palace. He respectfully knelt down to Xie Ciyan on the dragon chair and said, “I am here.”

    There was a bit of a smile in his eyes, “Find a place to place this deposed emperor properly, and we will deal with it after my enthronement ceremony.”

    Huo Sui responded, stepped forward, grabbed the man and dragged him out without any effort.The deposed emperor refused to give up, and opened his mouth to shout loudly. Even though his voice pierced the sky, no one came forward, and not a single guard came to protect him.The courtiers who saw all this could not help but feel desolate. They had no ability to protect themselves when they were in danger. How could the emperor lead the courtiers and the people to a stable place?

    Even the courtiers who had just expressed some resentment in their hearts and thanked Ci Yan for taking the throne were now convinced and had no second thoughts.Compared with the deposed emperor who was so useless, the new emperor in front of them is more convincing to them.

    “Bold Huo Sui!” No matter how much the deposed emperor struggled, he still could not shake Huo Sui at all.”Presumptuous! You are all presumptuous! I will punish you with death! I will kill you all with a stick——”

    The deposed emperor roared ferociously, his cheeks were rosy with anxiety, his eyes were bloodshot, and his body was faintly trembling.The moment he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his palm to cover his mouth, then coughed violently, and suddenly spat out a mouthful of dirty blood, staining his palm red.

    The deposed emperor was startled and looked at his blood-covered palms with a slightly dull expression.Immediately, there was a sudden heat in his nose, and when he touched it lightly with his fingertips, there was blood again, which was extremely shocking.

    He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but the intense pain in the back of his head kept him from saying a word.His consciousness gradually blurred before his eyes, and his whole body seemed to be floating on the clouds. His steps were frivolous, and the next second he fell in the middle of the Jinluan Palace. His face was extremely pale, but his cheeks and lips were unusually rosy.

    Blood dripped from the dragon’s robe and smeared at the corners of the dragon’s mouth, like a golden dragon drinking blood.At first glance, it seems a bit scary.
