Liu Mingzhi's name act made everyone present fascinated.
No, would Dad be able to recover so quickly after he died? This is my biological father...well...it should be my biological father, he looks quite similar!
Liu Mingzhi didn't realize what his brothers were saying to him, so he held his sword and headed towards the front of the Qinzheng Hall.
In an instant, there was a commotion in front of the Qinzheng Hall with a strange atmosphere because of Liu Mingzhi's behavior.
Thousands of imperial guards instinctively moved toward Liu Mingzhi to intercept the package with Yanling knives, blocking Liu Mingzhi's steps to the Qinzheng Hall.
Cheng Kai, Tang Ru and others in the audience also reacted immediately, waving the flags in their hands several times.
The tooth-aching sound of bows and arrows being cocked comes one after another.
The eight thousand archers dispersed quickly, bent their bows and arrows in a half-moon formation, and aimed at the Ouchi guards who were blocking Liu Mingzhi.
"Protect Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager!"
The civil and military officials also reacted and scrambled to protect Li Ye and Nangong Meng behind them, as if their flesh and blood bodies could block the phoenix feather arrows that shone with cold light.
Liu Mingzhi stopped and slowly climbed up the steps again, his eyes directly skipping the Ouchi guards and staring closely at Li Ye who was protected by hundreds of officials, like those wild goose feather swords reflecting the setting sun. Not to yourself.
"Step aside!"
Hearing Liu Mingzhi's extremely plain words, the thousands of imperial guards subconsciously took two steps back in shock. After reacting, they stepped forward and stopped in front of Liu Mingzhi.
The heart-breaking sound of neat footsteps echoed in the square in front of Qinzheng Hall.
Tens of thousands of new army soldiers uniformly held weapons and surrounded them on the steps.
"Step aside!"
"Step aside!"
"Step aside!"
Tens of thousands of soldiers shouted to get out of the way every time they took a step, their steps were heavier and their voices were louder and louder.
The half-moon iron bow in the archer's hand was quickly drawn into a full moon, and the angle was aimed at the Ouchi guard in front of Liu Mingzhi who was intercepting him.
Every time Liu Mingzhi took a step, the New Army soldiers behind him took a step closer.
The evil aura crawling out of them from the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood made the thousands of Ouchi guards involuntarily retreat slowly with their Yanling knives in hand.
Liu Mingzhi's eyes were always fixed on Li Ye, without moving away at all.
At some point, Li Ye, who was protected by hundreds of officials, staggered away and looked at Liu Mingzhi.
Liu Mingzhi was looking at him, and he was also looking at Liu Mingzhi.
Seeing his uncle staring at him with a cold look that was completely different from before, Li Ye couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart.
Perhaps the events of Fengyundu really changed my uncle's temperament, and he began to regard himself as a life-or-death enemy.
Listening to the cries of killing still echoing outside the city, Li Ye didn't know whether his younger brother Li Tao was insisting on attacking the city, or whether General Dongfang Ming was insisting on King Qin's rescue.
However, the main force of my uncle's troops had already entered the city and rushed into the front of the Qinzheng Hall of the Imperial Palace. No matter how hard they tried outside the city, they could not help themselves solve the trouble in front of them.
For a moment, a feeling that the situation was over emerged in Li Ye's mind.
In order to be a good emperor, did I really do something wrong?
As the two looked at each other silently, Li Ye finally withdrew his eyes first, glanced at the tens of thousands of New Army soldiers who were fighting decisively in front of the Qinzheng Palace, and turned around and walked towards the palace with a lonely expression.
"My dear friends, please get out of the way and let King Bingjian enter the palace!"
When the time came, all the civil and military officials knelt on the ground, looking sadly at Li Ye who looked lonely and cried out.
"His Majesty!"
"His Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, I am willing to risk my life to protect your Majesty. Now King Qin's army is still attacking the city. We still have room to turn defeat into victory!"
Li Ye turned his eyes and glanced at Liu Mingzhi and laughed twice: "The situation is over, if we continue to fight, it will be my dragon's soldiers who will be damaged, and it will be my dragon's foundation that will be destroyed.
Let King Bingjian enter the palace, I must give an explanation for my mistakes.
If my death can avert the war disaster, I should die generously! "
After Li Ye finished speaking, he stopped listening to the officials' advice and turned around and walked towards the Qinzheng Palace.
Nangong Meng looked at Li Ye's slightly stooped back at a loss, hesitated for a moment, picked up the hem of his palace clothes, turned around and walked towards Liu Mingzhi at the foot of the steps.
"The Queen Mother! No!"
"Step aside!"
Nangong Meng directly pushed away Du Chenghao who was blocking him, and continued walking towards Liu Mingzhi.
"Ming... Mingzhi!"
"My son, Liu Mingzhi, will be a thousand years old when he meets his mother!"
Nangong Meng looked at Liu Mingzhi bowing respectfully to him as before, with both relief and regret in his eyes. He helped Liu Mingzhi up and kept shaking his head.
"My child, are we really going to this point? Can't the Ai family compensate you on Ye'er's behalf?
For the sake of your father and brother, and for the sake of you being Ye'er's elder, stop the army.
Do you really want to be a traitor who kills the king and usurps the throne?
Yan'er and Cheng Qian definitely don't want to see you reach this stage! "
Liu Mingzhi looked at Nangong Meng, whose eyes were full of pleading, and his eyes were a little sad.
The empress who was so graceful and dignified in the world suddenly became the Grand Emperor and Empress. She put down her figure and lowered her noble head for the sake of her grandson.
"Mother, your majesty's behavior has nothing to do with the queen. He is not qualified to ask her to intercede for him.
As of today, everything is a foregone conclusion.
It's not that the child doesn't want to give his mother a child, or that the child insists on requiring your majesty to give an explanation to his son.
When things have reached this point, I need to give an explanation to the hundreds of thousands of brothers under my command.
I can no longer look back!
Please mother, please go back to Fu'an Palace. "
Nangong Meng's delicate body went limp, and when she almost fell down on the steps, Liu Mingzhi held her arm and helped her up.
"My child, is there really no room for negotiation at all?"
Liu Mingzhi's eyes flickered for a few times, and he slowly put Nangong Meng on the steps. Looking at the familiar Qinzheng Hall in front of him, he continued to walk up steadily.
"Child, think twice!"
Liu Mingzhi pretended not to hear Nangong Meng's sad words and rushed straight towards Qinzheng Palace. Qian Lu glanced at Liu Mingzhi fearfully and hurried towards Nangong Meng.
"Mother, are you okay?"
Nangong Meng's eyes were dull and her face was ashen as she shook her head.
When Liu Mingzhi stopped in front of the Qinzheng Hall, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses behind him also dispersed under the command of Cheng Kailing Banner, surrounding the Qinzheng Hall.
Many generals also rushed towards the front of the palace in case anything unexpected happened to Liu Mingzhi entering the palace alone.
Liu Mingzhi looked at the officials who followed Li Ye and walked into the Qinzheng Hall with a low expression, and followed them in silently.
All the officials entered the queue, but Liu Mingzhi was the only one holding a sword in one hand and standing in the center of the hall with his blood-stained shirt, silently looking at everything familiar in the Qinzheng Hall.
Once upon a time, I stood here with high spirits and guarded everything here.
Time passed by, and now I stood here with my sword dripping blood and my shirt bright red.
One was a pillar of the imperial court at that time, and the other was a rebel who led troops to Beijing. There was such a huge gap.
"And...uncle!"
Liu Mingzhi woke up with a start and looked at Li Ye who was standing on the dragon platform looking at him with complicated eyes.
Liu Mingzhi silently looked around at the civil and military officials on both sides who were staring closely at him, and walked straight towards the dragon platform with the Heavenly Sword in hand.
Baiguan's face changed with shock. He was about to stand up and say something, but Li Ye raised his hand to stop him.
Liu Mingzhi walked quietly to Li Ye and looked down at the ministers in the audience.
This is the third time I have stood in this position.
The first time was before his father, Emperor Li Zheng, made his grand trip, where he and his brother Li Baiyu stood on the left and right, declaring their future status to the officials.
The second time was when the demon queen 'Ren Qingrui' poisoned Li Ye, and in the name of offering a treasure, she climbed onto the dragon platform to check the truth.
This time, he stood here holding a blood-stained sword.
Today is not what it used to be, this time is the same as that time!
Under the watchful eyes of all the officials, Liu Mingzhi walked straight to the dragon chair, leaned the Heavenly Sword on the ground, turned around and sat down.
All the officials were in an uproar, looking at Liu Mingzhi who sat on the dragon chair without hesitation with horrified eyes, speechless in astonishment.
Li Ye also stared at his uncle's behavior blankly, trembling suddenly, looking at Liu Mingzhi and not knowing what to say for a while.
All officials were stunned and at a loss, but Cheng Kai and a dozen generals standing in front of the palace gate looked excitedly at Liu Mingzhi, who was sitting on the dragon throne.
They looked at each other, hesitated again and again, but instead of bowing and saluting, they directly supported Liu Mingzhi on his ascension to the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.
Liu Mingzhi twisted a few times, his eyes a little disappointed.
It was cold and hard, making me feel uncomfortable all over, and there was no comfort at all.
Is this the chair that everyone in the world longs for?
Only when I actually sat on it did I know what it meant to be disappointed!
