Seeing everyone looking at him blankly, Du Yang looked at them condescendingly and said, "You should understand that I am the only one who can sit in this position now!"
As he spoke, he lazily touched the dragon chair under him.
"I don't want to say anything unnecessary. All the imperial guards in the palace are my people, and outside the Jinluan Palace, they have already been surrounded by my people. Smart people will naturally be safe after dawn. Go back safely, but if you are not smart, you should know the consequences."
At this moment, even the most stupid person knew that he was seeking power and usurping the throne.
A minister stepped forward and said, "Fifth prince, did you murder the emperor? It's still unclear whether the prince can come back? Is it possible that you still want to attack the prince?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, another minister also stepped forward, "Where is the Queen? We want to see the Queen!"
Du Yang frowned and raised his hand, and two guards immediately came forward and arrested the two ministers one by one.
Then he heard him say: "Don't talk nonsense without evidence. Everyone knows that the person who wanted to murder my father was my second brother, and my father's death was also caused by my second brother. What does it have to do with me? And what's more? Brother, he chose to go away on his own in the first place. Now that my father has passed away, and he hasn’t come back, doesn’t that mean he won’t come back? Since it’s him who doesn’t come back, how can he blame me?”
"You are all smart people. You should know what you should say and what you should not say, right? Do you still want me to teach you word for word?"
In Du Yang's helpless eyes, the two ministers were dragged down one after another.
When they were dragged down, the two of them were still shouting at the top of their lungs.
"Du Yang! You can't do this!"
"The fifth prince has committed regicide and seized the throne! Everyone, please stop him!"
"..."
However, seeing their end, most people just silently shut their mouths.
Du Yang looked at his hands casually, "What regicide? What seizing the throne? My hands are clean, but not stained with any human blood. How can they talk such nonsense? Tsk, it looks like killing. It’s all a pity. His tongue should be pulled out and his body should be quartered, don’t you think?”
Your Highness, be quiet.
Now, finally, someone was willing to listen to what he had to say.
He curled his lips and said, "My mother is old and a member of the female class. I just let her stay in the palace and have a good rest. She can't handle such a big thing, so why do you have to see her? ?」
Those who knelt on the ground to see the new emperor did not stand up until this moment.
A stark contrast to those who had been standing.
Du Yang raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean by not speaking? Do you understand it or not?"
In the middle of the crowd, a middle-aged man said softly: "Fifth Prince, you are usurping the throne. If this spreads..."
Before he finished speaking, two guards had already arrested him, one on the left and one on the right.
His face turned pale on the spot, "Fifth Prince, spare your life! Wei Chen didn't mean that! Wei Chen is also worried about you!"
Du Yang raised his eyebrows, "Oh? You are worried about me, the prince. Why don't you tell me?"
As soon as they heard him speak, the two guards withdrew their hands.
Immediately afterwards, the minister also knelt on the ground, and then said tremblingly: "Your Highness, Fifth Highness, I just feel that if you ascend the throne now, it will be too eye-catching. If word spreads, everyone will know about you. How many more days should we wait for the usurpation of the throne? At least let the emperor first..."
"I know what you mean. I'm not that impatient to ascend the throne. Isn't it just to see your attitude that I have gathered you here in the middle of the night?"
Du Yang interrupted him with a half-smile, and when he said this, the smile on his face slowly disappeared.
"But when you entered the palace, I had already sent many guests to your house. I believe you already understand what I mean, right?"
these words
As soon as it came out, the whole audience was shocked.
Almost everyone looked at Du Yang in disbelief, obviously not expecting that he would do such a thing.
What I didn't even expect was that he could say such words so calmly...
Is this still the young and frivolous fifth prince?
Just when everyone was shocked, Du Yang stood up reluctantly and walked towards the crowd step by step.
"Don't look like this. This prince has brought you together just to ask you a question. Tomorrow, the second prince will be questioned and beheaded. Do you know what to say?"
Most people lowered their heads and said nothing.
On the contrary, the ministers who were kneeling on the ground flattered each other one by one: "Go back to the emperor, I know! The second prince murdered the emperor. His crime is unpardonable and he should be executed!"
"I know it too! If it weren't for your wisdom and prowess, Your Highness, the Fifth Highness, this huge palace would have been in chaos long ago..."
"..."
The kneeling ministers flattered me one by one, which made the standing ministers sneer, but they did not dare to show it.
Du Yang burst out laughing after hearing this, "Yes, very good, this prince likes to hear it!"
As he said that, he glanced at the people standing, "So what about you? Do you understand?"
Seeing that those people remained silent, Du Yang's face quickly darkened.
"When the sun rises, this prince will be the new emperor of Li country. You have to admit it or not! Stop showing such a stinky face. You are not afraid of death. Don't you think the prince in your house is the new emperor? Are your family members not afraid of death?"
Everyone lowered their heads, and no one dared to refute.
Du Yang said nonchalantly: "What do you mean? Do you think that this prince is not capable of holding the throne?"
Many people lowered their heads, saying they didn't dare.
Seeing that most people were quite cooperative with him, Du Yang's expression softened a little.
He said arrogantly: "I can see that you are all good ministers for the country and the people. In fact, you don't care who will sit on the throne in the end. What you care more about is who can keep it safe." This is far away from the country."
"To tell you the truth, Nan Muze and Liu Shengsheng were also arrested by this prince, and at dawn tomorrow, I plan to behead them and my dear second brother. What do you think?"
As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was in panic. .
Someone said loudly on the spot: "Your Highness, you must not do this!"
"Nan Mu Ze is the war king of Feng Qing Kingdom. He is very powerful and cannot be touched casually by us!"
"He is a very noble person in Feng Qing. If we kill him, Feng Qing will definitely attack our country!"
"Yes, they must not be killed, otherwise the two countries will definitely go to war!"
"..."
