Feng Shu watched Zhao Hong beating Xia Zhen, sweating profusely.
Killing and beating others, is Zhao Hong crazy? Do you still want to help him?
"Marquis Feng Yu, why don't you bring someone forward and drag King Ji out of the palace!"
The ministers were shocked and whispered to each other. The palace was in chaos. Shi Miyuan flew into a rage and gave orders to Feng Shu.
If the commotion continues like this, the coronation and enthronement ceremony of the new emperor will not be held.
They all hesitated when they saw Feng Shu coming up with several forbidden troops. Zhao Hong was riding on Xia Zhen, covered in blood and his eyes were ferocious.
"Feng Yuhou, do you want to help the tyrants and arrest Gu Gu?"
Zhao Hong's eyes were ferocious, his hands couldn't help but touch his waist, and he slowly stood up.
Feng Shu was taken aback, took a step back, and quickly saluted with clasped fists.
"Your Highness, I don't dare!"
Somehow, he still had a little expectation for Zhao Hong, but more of a fear.
I heard that the Thunderbolt is extremely lethal. If one of the Thunderbolts were thrown at me, it would be a big joke.
Feng Shu was afraid of retreating, and several other forbidden troops were also hesitant. The prince can kill the court generals in his palace, but they don't dare to hurt the prince even a hair.
Feng Shu and others did not dare to say anything, but Shi Miyuan was furious. He looked at Zhao Hong who stood up and scolded him angrily.
"His Royal Highness King Ji, you did not respect the late emperor's edict. You beat important officials of the imperial court in the palace and killed the generals of the imperial army. You are treasonous and sinful. Do you still have the late emperor in your eyes? Is there still the imperial court of the Song Dynasty?"
Why is this loser Feng Shu so cowardly? Why is Xia Zhen so stupid to trust such a loser?
Until now, he had not realized that there was something fishy about the situation. He just thought that Feng Shu was intimidated by Zhao Hong's power and did not dare to step forward.
"The late emperor's edict? What a late emperor's edict!"
Zhao Hong kicked Xia Zhen hard in the heart. The kick made Xia Zhen's eyes turn white and he was in agony. Then he took two steps away.
He raised his hand in front of him and looked at it. Because of the excessive force, several joints in his hand were broken and there was a dull pain.
As for Xia Zhen, in addition to a concussion, at least a few ribs were broken in his chest. He was groaning and unable to get up.
Seeing Zhao Hong's ferocious expression, Shi Miyuan was startled. He subconsciously took a step back and shouted sharply:
"His Royal Highness King Ji, the late emperor has decreed that Zhao Guicheng, the heir of King Yi, be enthroned as a great treasure, and you will be deprived of your position as prince, and you will enjoy glory and wealth. What, do you want to resist the decree? Do you still have the late emperor in your eyes?"
Killing and hurting others, is this guy crazy? What on earth is he going to do? Are you an enemy to everyone in the world?
"What a testament to the late emperor!"
Zhao Hong turned around, faced Shi Miyuan, and raised his voice.
"Xiang Xiang, take out your late emperor's edict and show it to all the ministers. If it is really the late emperor's edict, I, Zhao Hong, will accept it and commit suicide in this hall to apologize to the world!"
He looked at Zhao Guicheng and Yang Guizhi behind the curtain. They were silent there, as if the matter had nothing to do with them.
In the curtain, Zhao Guicheng was trembling, and Yang Guizhi's face suddenly darkened.
"Queen Mother, what should I do?"
Zhao Guicheng turned pale and asked tremblingly.
If Zhao Hong kills people in the palace, he won't come up and take his own life, right?
"Officials, please be calm and don't be impatient. There are imperial guards and historians here to respond."
Yang Guizhi glanced coldly at the frightened Zhao Guicheng and tried to calm down.
How could Zhao Hong think of the late emperor's edict? How did he bring in his dagger? Why didn’t Feng Shu dare to arrest people?
Zhao Hong's words caused a buzz in the hall. The ministers were whispering to each other, creating a commotion.
The late emperor’s edict?
Today's melon is a bit big, filling, and sweet.
"How could the late emperor's edict be given to you, a deposed prince? Zhao Hong, do you want to resist the edict?"
The fat black man Liang Chengda, the censor, and Shi Miyuan's eagle dog, angrily accused Zhao Hong.
With Yang Guizhi in charge, how could the late emperor's edict be false?
"Liang Chengda, shut up now! Do you believe that I will beat you all over the place to find your teeth? Do you want to take five steps to bleed?"
Zhao Hong snorted coldly and pointed at Xia Zhen, who was groaning on the ground, and Shi Liangqing's body.
This idiot only knows how to fake the power of a tiger and create rumors and slander, but he has not seen the strangeness in it.
With such intelligence, he still served as the censor Zhongcheng and an important minister of the country. This was really a shame for the Song Dynasty.
Liang Cheng's face turned red, but he didn't dare to speak anymore and retreated angrily.
"His Royal Highness Prince Ji, get out of the palace quickly and don't humiliate yourself. The late emperor's body is still cold, so don't mess around!"
Xue Ji, a bachelor of Duanming Palace, a signatory of the Privy Council, and a minister in power, carefully persuaded Zhao Hong.
He already felt that something was fishy, and it was indeed a big deal to depose him. However, the deal was already done and it was impossible for Zhao Hong to turn around. He just wanted to settle the matter and not cause any trouble.
The deposed crown prince is a big deal. If something happens to the deposed crown prince, the Song Dynasty will really be in chaos.
"Zhao Hong, don't be so presumptuous! Don't you know that the laws of the Song Dynasty are very strict?"
Yang Guizhi's nephew, Yang Gu, the future king of Yong'an County, shouted angrily.
It's really disappointing and disgusting to have this important event of enthroning the throne be messed up by this loser.
"Shut up! You old boy! Do you know that the crime of treason is to implicate the nine tribes?"
Zhao Hong became angry and attacked Yang Gu.
A piece of trash who only eats, drinks, whores and gambles, only destroys but does not build. How can he be so virtuous? What qualifications does he have to dictate important affairs of the imperial court from above the main hall?
The court was filled with these useless fools, talking shamelessly and swaggering around. It can be seen that the Song Dynasty had accumulated many shortcomings and was in a quagmire and was experiencing its final struggle.
Yang Gu was speechless for a moment, and other ministers spoke again, and began their accustomed verbal and written attacks on Zhao Hong.
They have tried these tricks time and time again, and many celebrities have been wiped out without a trace by their tricks.
"Prince Ji, you resist the decree and disrespect it. Don't you know that the law of the country is ruthless?"
"Prince Ji, hurry up and accept the order! Don't be embarrassed here!"
"Feng Yuhou, get King Ji out of here quickly, don't bring shame on yourself!"
In the main hall, all the important ministers were excited and criticized Zhao Hong angrily. Zhao Hong smiled coldly, cheered up, spoke sharply, and immediately counterattacked.
"Shut up, you trash, you trash-talkers! You have to know that the crime of rebellion is punishable by beheading. Don't talk about glory and wealth, I'm afraid your heads will be moved. You might as well give it a try."
Zhao Hong said loudly, and the hall immediately became much quieter.
Although most of them follow the trend and are unjust for profit, they dare not bet on their own lives and the lives of their families.
Zhao Hong looked at Shi Miyuan and was too lazy to talk.
"Shi Miyuan, show your imperial edict to the ministers! Otherwise, you are just pretending to edict!"
Going around and around, it is better to go straight to the point, simple and crude.
"Xiang Xiang, since this is the imperial edict left by the late emperor, please let all the ministers take a look at it to reassure them!"
Zhao Hong started, and Zhen Dexiu followed suit, echoing his disciples.
He has seen the real imperial edict of the late emperor. At this time, Zhao Hong cannot be allowed to fight alone.
"Historian Prime Minister, since it is the late emperor's edict, why can't the ministers read it? Could it be that this edict is fake?"
Wei Liaoweng spoke righteously and pointedly pointed out that the imperial edict was fraudulent.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was the crown prince of the Song Dynasty who was personally appointed by the late emperor. He had no fault whatsoever. How come the late emperor died and the prince was suddenly deposed? As the prime minister of our dynasty, does the prime minister want to give an explanation to the world?"
Chen Duanchang, the minister of Dali Temple, also stood up and expressed the doubts of many ministers.
Chen Duan was always an upright official and had great influence among the officials who sat on the fence in the court. His opening immediately aroused a chorus of agreement.
"Please ask the Prime Minister to clarify the late emperor's edict and clear up any doubts!"
"The prince was deposed for no reason. The Prime Minister must have an explanation!"
"Queen Mother, please ask Zhao Guicheng, the heir of King Yi, to come out and speak!"
Wu Jing, the governor of Lin'an Prefecture, Chen Duanchang, the minister of Dali Temple, and other officials made a lot of noise and asked Shi Miyuan to explain the whole story.
At this time, Zhao Guicheng had changed from the "new emperor" to what they called the heir of King Yi.
"Historian Prime Minister, since it is the late emperor's edict, Shi Prime Minister might as well show it out and convince the ministers, so as to reassure the ministers."
Hu Ju, the ruling minister and Minister of Industry, suddenly also asked.
Zhao Hong was slightly startled. The wallflower suddenly turned around, but he didn't know why.
The muscles on Shi Miyuan's face twitched slightly, and his eyes were already a little anxious and panicked.
"Okay, what a shame! Feng Shu, drive King Ji out of the hall and don't let him mess around! I will give you a big reward!"
Behind the curtain, Yang Guizhi's voice sounded without losing any opportunity.
As expected, he was a cunning person. He could see Feng Shu's duplicity at a glance, and he could see something was wrong at a glance.
There was silence among all the ministers in the palace. Everyone became quiet and glanced at Feng Shu.
Feng Shu was confused for a while and glanced at Zhao Hong.
Didn't Zhao Hong say that he had the support of the queen? It seemed that the two sides had no intersection at all.
Facing Feng Shu's suspicious gaze, Zhao Hong smiled slightly and turned to Shi Miyuan.
"Historian Prime Minister, I will say it again. Please show the late emperor's edict to all the ministers. Otherwise, I will not be convinced."
"His Royal Highness King Ji, the late emperor's edict has been revealed. You'd better stop making trouble. The late emperor's posthumous affairs are important!"
Shi Miyuan was sweating on his forehead and his voice was hoarse. He wondered if he was weak from staying up late.
After all, he is already over 60 years old and an old man in his 60s.
"Ministers, since Prime Minister Shi does not dare to present the edict, let me come down and present another edict!"
Zhao Hong turned around and faced the courtiers in the palace. While taking out something yellow from his arms, he kicked Xia Zhen on the ground hard on the chest.
"Dear ministers, I also have a "posthumous edict" written by the late emperor himself. Do you want to take a look at it?"
All the officials in the palace were shocked, and soon someone shouted loudly, it was Lin'an Prefecture Yin Wu Jing.
"Your Highness, please show it to the ministers to see if it is the late emperor's edict."
All the officials in the palace were shocked again. Things went up and down so fast that they were overwhelmed.
"Colleagues, everyone is optimistic!"
Zhao Hong walked up to Feng Shu, smiled slightly, and raised the edict.
"Feng Yuhou, look carefully, be sure to see clearly! Don't go the wrong way!"
Feng Shu looked at the edict carefully, and sweat broke out on his forehead.
"His Royal Highness has inherited the throne, and I only hope that His Highness will follow your lead! Long live your Majesty! Long live your Majesty!"
Feng Shu immediately knelt down, trembling, and shouted long live the mountain.
The prince of the current dynasty has the emperor's posthumous edict as proof, why are he still hesitating? Moreover, his hesitation has been seen by Shi Miyuan, and the consequences are unpredictable.
At this point, all we can do is follow Zhao Hong until the end.
"Feng Shu, get up!"
Zhao Hong nodded and said warmly.
"Where are the Imperial Guards?"
Shi Miyuan looked around the hall and roared again.
The forbidden soldiers in the palace looked at each other in confusion, but still no one moved. A forbidden soldier ran in from outside the palace door and whispered a few words in the ear of Feng Shu, who had just stood up.
Feng Shu waved his hand gently, and the imperial army retreated from the door.
Zhao Hong saw it clearly and felt a little calmer.
Needless to say, Li Tang and the others had already entered the palace gate and took over the guards from the imperial army outside the palace.
This step was taken first and came at the right time.
What a group of loyal and courageous young people!
Under the gaze of the ministers, Feng Shu coughed slightly, and without changing his expression, he bowed solemnly to Shi Miyuan.
"Shi Xiang, it's better to listen to what His Highness the Crown Prince has to say, and it's never too late to make a decision."
Most of the people in the palace were his close associates who had been with him for several years. Xia Zhen was beaten until he fell to the ground and groaned. Several of his subordinates were weak and did not dare to say a word.
The prince's late emperor's edict is here, it sounds grand, everyone in the hall is suspicious, everyone is waiting and watching.
It's a matter of wealth and life. Except for desperadoes who have no way out, who dares to express their opinions easily?
Yang Guizhi, who was behind the curtain, could clearly see everything that happened in the palace, and his expression suddenly changed drastically.
An unknown thought arose in her mind.
