Duke Chen Guogong dared to look directly at the empress, showing no respect!
Zhao An held the dragon bird tightly and asked, "My lord, why don't you bow?"
This short sentence is shocking and enlightening.
"Eunuch Zhao, I am very curious, why are you still in the palace?"
Chen Guogong did not answer, but asked cheerfully.
He knew that Zhou Huang's true identity was Zhao An, and he brought it up directly today, as if he didn't intend to hide it.
Upon hearing this, all the officials watched nervously as the situation evolved.
Zhao An sneered and said: "What did the Duke say? The Za family is to serve His Majesty, how can we not be here? Or is it that the Duke doesn't want to see the Za family?"
"Eunuch Zhao, now that your Majesty has summoned us, we can talk about any important matters."
Chen Guogong folded his hands, and his golden official uniform became more and more conspicuous.
The empress glanced majestically at the audience, waved her hand, and two guardsmen walked in carrying a large box.
The box was filled with evidence of the Chen family's officials' infidelity.
"Master Li, Master Wang, Master He, please take a look."
The empress named many names in one go.
The officials whose names were called all tensed up and stepped forward to check the documents in the box.
It records the things they have committed, one after another, all of which are crimes of beheading.
The Golden Palace was deathly quiet. The officials were holding documents and could not stop sweat from their foreheads.
Their eyes fell on Chen Guogong together. At this moment, only Chen Guogong could save their lives, and as a bargaining chip for their lives, they had to stand with Chen Guogong to have a chance of survival.
Chen Guogong also picked up a volume of documents, read it and said indifferently: "Your Majesty, there is a traitor around you. This person has a vicious mind. With your Majesty's honor and favor, he privately submitted a letter of impeachment and murdered loyal ministers on unfounded charges. His crime should be punished." .”
"Your Majesty, we are all loyal and good people. We would never dare to cholera channel steel behind our backs. I hope your Majesty will see clearly."
All members of the Chen family, bite the bullet and explain it to yourself.
The empress said calmly: "Really? I collected the documents from Eunuch Zhao. I believe that you and Eunuch Zhao have no grievances, but he will not harm you arbitrarily."
"Zhao An is just a eunuch. How can eunuchs be allowed to interfere in major affairs of the court? I pray that your majesty will eradicate the eunuchs, clear my name, and restore peace to the world."
Wow!
The members of the Chen family fell to their knees, seemingly sincere and sincere, as if every one of them was a completely loyal minister.
Zhao An took a step forward and said, "You all know what you have done. Do you want me to call witnesses?"
"I do not admit guilt!"
"If you are stubborn, where are the Praetorian Guards?"
Zhao An shouted loudly, and a group of forbidden troops rushed in from outside the door and surrounded the officials.
Several officials looked at each other and suddenly got up from the ground, pretending to adjust their robes with amusement.
Zhao An was dissatisfied: "The Imperial Guard, capture these criminals and send them to prison to await trial."
Once the words were settled, no one in the Imperial Guard moved.
The atmosphere in the hall became strange, and the empress' face darkened, "Where are the Imperial Guards?"
The Praetorian Guards remained unmoved.
When Chen Guogong saw this, he burst out laughing, and his manic laughter was like thunder that overwhelmed everyone's hearts.
"Your Majesty, stop shouting. Today, I respectfully ask Your Majesty to die."
Eunuch Chen had his arms behind his back and his eyebrows were dancing with joy.
A group of guards and officials shouted in unison, "Your Majesty, please die!"
"Your Majesty is respectfully invited to die!"
The shouts grew louder and louder.
All the officials from all factions in the court felt as if they had been struck by lightning, and a few royalists looked ashen-faced.
Wang Chang growled: "Mr. Chen Guo, what are you going to do? Are you going to force the palace to rebel?"
"Master Wang, you haven't noticed yet? The harem is already under my control."
Chen Guogong snapped his fingers.
The next second, the Imperial Guards surged in like a tide, at least a hundred of them, and directly blocked the meeting.
Each of them carried steel knives with murderous intent.
Seeing this posture, the empress' heart suddenly sank to the bottom, and her white palms subconsciously clenched.
"Ms. Chen, I treat you well, why do you want to rebel?"
"Not thin?" Chen Guohong looked at her indifferently, "Since ancient times, the world has been dominated by those who are capable. Your Majesty has spread harsh rule among the people, and the people have been allowed to pursue their desires. The people want to see a wise king. Today, your Majesty might as well abdicate in favor of a worthy person."
"Traitor, you are so bold! Aren't you afraid that I will look at your head?" the empress shouted angrily.
Chen Guogong said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you haven't seen the situation clearly yet? You have no chance. The harem is already under my control."
"Lying, the harem is all my people, how can I control it for you?"
"Your Majesty, do you think it's okay to defend yourself strictly?"
Chen Guogong waved to the outside world, and another group of people rushed in, and it was Xiao Qingyu!
The empress' expression changed drastically when she saw this, "General Xiao, what are you doing?"
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry. You don't think that I left Chen Guogong because I surrendered to you, right?"
Xiao Qingyu was dressed in armor and stood majestically behind Chen Guogong.
He took control of the Imperial Guards and replaced them with his own people. He had been waiting for this day. He had previously helped eliminate Chen's spies in the Imperial Guards in order to gain the trust of the imperial power.
The empress' delicate body trembled, and she sat dejectedly on the dragon chair.
The officials were talking a lot, and panic filled the hall.
Zhao An took out the Daxia Dragon Bird and glared at Chen Guogong: "The emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country. A bunch of sycophants are not afraid of being infamy for thousands of years?"
"It's a good saying that the emperor guards the country." Chen Guogong clapped his hands and praised, "You are a talent, but unfortunately your vision is too narrow and you chose the wrong person. If you had surrendered to me, how could you have ended up like this?"
While he was talking, a soldier came running from outside, "Reporting to the Duke, four gates of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion have been captured!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Chen Guogong was overjoyed.
Capturing the four gates is equivalent to completely controlling the Forbidden Court.
Today, it’s time to change the dynasty!
After Chen Guogong laughed, he looked around at the officials. Most of the officials knelt down and almost shouted "Hail Your Majesty."
More Chen officials were beaming, with pride written all over their faces.
If the Chen family succeeds to the throne, their family will be able to prosper. After all, they have made the right bet.
Finally, all eyes fell on the empress.
The empress stood up angrily and looked down at the group of sycophants, "Chen Guogong, this is your choice. The late emperor should have killed you once and for all."
"It's too late to say anything now. I still ask Your Majesty to die."
Chen Guogong clasped his hands behind his back and raised his chin high.
Zhao An laughed out loud, "Chen Guogong, it's not certain who is going to die."
"Eunuch Zhao, you still refuse to accept your fate when things get tough? I am very merciful and can send you on the road with His Majesty. You will not be lonely on the road to hell."
"Piff, do you want to call you mom?"
Zhao Anzheng pulled out the Daxia Dragon Bird, stuck it on the ground, and held it majestically with both hands.
Chen Guogong narrowed his eyes and was about to speak when Zhao An shouted, "I'd like to invite the Queen."
After finishing her words, Chen Yuru walked out of the side hall, followed by Chang Ming, with a strange smile on her lips.
