The sudden appearance of the Shadow Master made everyone in the hall look surprised.
Except for Li Chengbai, the Zongling of the Zongren Mansion, who was slightly surprised, the other officials were quite shocked.
Especially the conversation between the movie host and Liu Mingzhi made Baiguan frown involuntarily, and his eyes kept pacing on Liu Mingzhi and the movie host.
From the words of the two people, it was not difficult to tell that the cloaked man whom King Bingjian called the Shadow Master was the leader of Fengyundu's assassination of King Bingjian that day.
The reason why Baiguan frowned was precisely because of this.
Regarding the assassination of King Bingjian, both the imperial court and King Bingjian only raised the matter in a subtle way and did not put it out in the open.
Even though Xia Gongming, the imperial censor, had written history with blood just now, King Bingjian only vaguely asked whether he wanted to make the fact of his rebellion known to the world!
However, the sudden appearance of the film owner brought the truth of the assassination to the surface, which was that both parties tacitly wanted to save face for the court.
At this point, wouldn't it make King Bingjian even more determined to usurp the throne?
as expected.
Just as Bai Guan thought, the film owner listened to Liu Mingzhi's words with a hint of surprise and unwillingness in his tone.
"You...you actually faked your death. How did you escape their fatal moves?"
Liu Mingzhi calmly looked at the shocked and sharp eyes of the shadow master under the cloak, and swung the heavenly sword in his hand on Li Ye's neck.
Li Ye, who was suddenly struck by a sword, couldn't help but shudder.
Although the king is determined to die for the country.
But after failing to die once and being attacked by weapons again, this kind of psychological torture is the most uncomfortable.
"I won't bother Your Excellency with this. One moment after another, I am no longer the embarrassed Liu Mingzhi who was easily chased by Your Excellency.
We should be able to have a fair talk now.
Put down the sword in your hand and kneel down in front of me. Otherwise, with just one touch of the heavenly sword in my hand, your majesty will die young and his soul will be gone. "
"you....."
The film owner stared at the Heavenly Sword placed on Li Ye's neck in Liu Mingzhi's hand with anger in his eyes.
"What? Your Majesty's dragon body is not as noble as your knees? It turns out that the shadow master who is loyal to the court is not as righteous as the king imagined!"
After Liu Mingzhi finished speaking, the Heavenly Sword in his hand slightly scratched the skin of Li Ye's neck, and blood immediately flowed down the Heavenly Sword.
"Kneel down!"
"Slow down! Umbra...I kneel, I kneel!"
The film owner looked at the blood dripping down the sword with aggrieved eyes, put down the long sword in his hand and silently knelt under the dragon platform.
"Old man kowtows to King Bingjian to apologize. Please King Bingjian not to be as knowledgeable as me."
"Seal your Rendu Meridian and acupoints all over your body."
The shadow master's body wrapped in the cloak trembled, and finally he raised his trembling hands to point at acupuncture points all over his body.
"I am willing to sacrifice my life for one, and I beg King Bingjian not to do anything to His Majesty."
Liu Mingzhi, who had been watching the shadow master, saw that the shadow master had really restrained his Qi without hesitation. He breathed a sigh of relief and nodded to the generals standing at the palace gate.
The two tiger generals put away their weapons, took off their belts and walked towards the shadow master, and tied up the shadow master in three strokes.
"Your Majesty, let me ask you one last question, will you write an imperial edict to pass on the throne?"
Li Ye listened to Liu Mingzhi's cold voice, shook his head silently, raised his head with his eyes closed tightly.
"Mingzhi, you swore an oath to the ancestors of the Liu family, and you are not allowed to use weapons against the Li family in your lifetime. Do you want the ancestors of the Liu family to never have peace?"
Nangong Meng, who was standing outside the palace gate, gradually calmed down and shouted softly in front of Manchao Wenwu.
Suddenly, the officials looked at Liu Mingzhi strangely because of Nangong Meng's words.
Liu Mingzhi pursed his lips a few times and looked at Nangong Meng's panicked and pleading eyes with complicated eyes. After a long silence, he slowly put down the Heavenly Sword in his hand.
Liu Mingzhi's action made everyone present breathe a sigh of relief.
"Get in!"
Two rude words outside the hall made everyone look over.
When he saw two men wearing soldiers' armor escorting Li Tao, who was tied up with five flowers, into the palace, he looked shocked again.
How come even King Zhao was.........
"Let go of me, and I will leave on my own!"
"Tao'er!"
"Grandma! My grandson is okay!"
Li Tao gave Nangong Meng a look of relief and raised his eyes to look towards the dragon platform.
When he saw his uncle holding the Heavenly Sword and standing on the dragon platform with his elder brother Li Ye, a trace of surprise and helplessness flashed in Li Tao's eyes.
I thought that even if my uncle could break into the palace, it would still take a lot of time. Unexpectedly, he had already raised his sword and stood at the place where he had only dreamed of standing.
After quietly staring at Liu Mingzhi, who was looking at him with a ghostly gaze, Li Tao gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle, if you rebelled and usurped the throne, how could you have the face to meet the spirits of my grandfather and father in heaven in the future?"
"What about you? How do you plan to meet your father and brother in the future?"
"I........"
Li Tao was left speechless by Liu Mingzhi's retort.
While he pointed at his uncle to rebel, he was also rebelling and usurping the throne before him.
What could the Li clan and the blood of the late emperor be able to cover up the fact that he rebelled and usurped the throne?
It was okay to deceive the soldiers under his command who had boarded the pirate ship with these words, but it was just a dream to allow his identity to hold righteousness in front of the civil and military officials and his uncle.
"me......"
Liu Mingzhi looked at Li Tao who was speechless. Compared to Li Ye, his eyes looked at him much softer.
"Tao'er, my uncle has told you a long time ago that you are not qualified to wade into this muddy water. You should have listened to me and returned to Zhao Di honestly. There is still room for return.
You had the stubbornness to go against your uncle, and the situation has reached its current state. It can only be said that you are to blame for it.
You rebelled under the pretext of clearing my uncle's name and seeking justice. You should know the root cause of your uncle's rebellion without warning.
My uncle won't explain this in detail in front of the civil and military officials of the court, as long as you understand it in your heart. "
Li Tao fell silent, thinking about hundreds of harsh words for his uncle along the way, but at this moment, all of them were stuck in his throat and he couldn't speak out.
Liu Mingzhi withdrew his gaze from Li Tao and glanced at Li Ye.
"Forget it, since you would rather die than write the imperial edict, my uncle won't force you.
To me, this edict of succession is just a dispensable piece of cloth.
If you don't give it to me, my uncle can take it himself. "
After Liu Mingzhi finished speaking, he sheathed his sword and walked toward the palace door at a fast pace.
After looking around at the New Army soldiers who surrounded the Qinzheng Palace, Liu Mingzhi raised the Heavenly Sword in his hand high.
"Brothers, in ancient times Mao Sui recommended himself, but now Liu Mingzhi recommends himself.
The emperor and the sky are above, and the earth is below. If the people today are without principles, they will not be able to rule the country wisely.
Today, Liu Mingzhi obeys the will of heaven and responds to others, and he should punish Wu Dao and replace him.
From now on, it is announced to the world that King Liu Mingzhi will proclaim himself emperor in the Da Nei Qin Zheng Hall and change his name to Taiping.
The name of the country...the name of the country...is based on inheritance, so it is called Dalong! "
Li Ye and the officials in the palace did not expect Liu Mingzhi to be so domineering. They were dumbfounded and speechless as they looked at Liu Mingzhi standing in front of the palace holding the Heavenly Sword and proclaiming himself emperor.
Tens of thousands of soldiers outside the Qinzheng Palace looked at Liu Mingzhi standing outside the palace gate excitedly, put away their weapons and knelt down on one knee towards Liu Mingzhi.
"Long live my emperor!"
"Long live my emperor!"
"Long live my emperor!"
The excited and high-pitched voices soared into the sky, resounding throughout the capital and beyond.
Then shouts of agreement came from the walls of the inner city and the outer city.
"Long live my emperor, long live the emperor."
"All officers and soldiers are exempt from the gift!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Looking at Liu Mingzhi's high-spirited appearance, Nangong Meng's eyes darkened, and her plump body fell limply on Qian Lu's body.
Liu Mingzhi breathed out softly and turned to look at the officials in the palace.
"Where are you?"
