A childish yet majestic voice came from the screen on the left side of the main hall: "Wait a minute and retreat!"
Following the golden palace, the screen on the left was gently pushed open, revealing a young man sitting on a chair. Behind the young man stood ten guards in black.
"Bang!" With a sound, the fly whisk in the hand of the great eunuch Yan Wuxue fell on the golden palace, making a crisp sound.
"National...Master Imperial Master, why are you here?" Looking at the young man in front of him, the whole court suddenly exploded.
Just in the blink of an eye, the ministers in the court were divided into two groups.
One faction is dominated by the right prime minister and Linghu Kuangyu, who crowd the courtiers who came to the throne for the second prince.
The other faction is dominated by the left prime minister and the courtiers who mainly support the eldest prince. What is even more strange is that just when everyone was in a mess, the left prime minister quietly walked in from outside the Golden Palace and stood opposite the right prime minister.
"I've met the Imperial Master!" Prime Minister Zuo said calmly.
"Master Zuo Xiang is always kind!" Li Ye, who was sitting on the chair, had no intention of getting up to greet him.
There was silence in the golden palace... You could almost hear a pin drop. After being silent for a long time, the new emperor Xia Yunjie suddenly spoke up: "Li Ye, you are so brave. I have already deprived you of the title of national master." Bit."
Li Ye looked at him and smiled, but said nothing.
It means you continue, but there is deep contempt in this smile.
Looking at the man in black behind Li Ye, the Right Prime Minister did not dare to step forward, but shouted: "Rebellious ministers and traitors, how dare you sneak into the Golden Palace with the intention of treason! Where are the guards in front of the palace?"
"Where are the guards in front of the palace?" The people standing on the right side of the Prime Minister shouted loudly.
To their disappointment, there was no reply from the Golden Palace, as if these guards were collectively deafened.
"Stop screaming, they can't hear you!" Li Ye, who was sitting on the chair, said softly.
"You... how dare you mess up the court! Do you want to rebel?" The Right Prime Minister was already breaking out in a cold sweat from the moment his shouts went unheeded.
"What do you want?" After all, Xia Yunjie felt angry and looked at Li Ye coldly and said.
"What do I think? Then I have to ask the second prince, how many killers did you send from the three southern towns to Nanyun City and then to White Jade City?" Li Ye ignored him and just whispered.
It was as if he was telling everyone something that had nothing to do with him.
"You're slanderous!" How could Xia Yunjie admit it?
Li Ye looked at Xia Yunjie and said, "I admire you very much for sending out killers all the time. I don't understand where there are so many highly trained killers in the Five Realms."
Xia Yunjie slapped the dragon case hard, pointed at Li Ye and shouted: "I said I sent a killer, where is your evidence? Do you have it?"
Li Ye looked at him, shook his head and said: "I returned every head of your killer to you. Isn't that evidence? The generalissimo was just injured, and the princess was injured by the killer you sent. Isn't that evidence? ?”
Having said this, Li Ye looked at the courtiers above the Golden Palace coldly and said, "Today, I really want to kill someone. Which of you wants to try?"
Zuo Xiang looked at him and couldn't help but ask: "Why?"
Li Ye looked at the people in front of him and said solemnly: "Since I fought against the enemy in southern Xinjiang, when the court ran out of food and sent out killers, and I have killed tens of thousands of troops, I don't care about killing a few more in this golden palace. ."
Xia Yunjie looked at him and shouted loudly: "Why do you want to kill me as soon as we meet? Because I don't have my father's will? Or is it because I sent a killer to attack you back then and asked you to avenge your private revenge?"
"Although you arranged for Ye Wuya to kill me at the Great Buddhist Temple in Fengyun City, I have never regarded you as an enemy. A person living in the imperial city actually wants to kill a little person like me. How can I dare to fight with you? "
Taking a sip from the water bottle handed over by Xia Yunlan behind him, Li Ye relaxed his mood and looked up at him.
He continued: "As for the lack of an edict, it is considered treason by the palace masters in the five regions, but I don't care because I already know the ending of this story."
"If after you seize the throne, you can really make the people of the Five Regions Dynasty happy and continue to provide food and fodder for my army in southern Xinjiang, maybe I will support you as emperor, but you actually sent a killer to cut the grass."
Li Ye didn't show any mercy to him anymore, but ruthlessly peeled off Xia Yunjie's hypocritical appearance.
After listening to his words, Xia Yunjie pointed at the eunuch Yan Wuxue and said, "Eunuch Yan, you promised me to support me in this matter."
Yan Wuxue looked at him expressionlessly and said: "Wrong, I just promised to support the new emperor chosen by your majesty."
The right minister was shocked, looked at Yan Wuxue and said, "What have you been doing before? Don't you know that the new emperor was elected by everyone? Why didn't you object at that time?"
Yan Wuxue looked at him and replied coldly: "You are wrong again. His Majesty only ascended, not died. How could there be a posthumous edict?"
The words of the great eunuch were like a heavy hammer, hitting the hearts of all the courtiers hard.
Even the new emperor Xia Yunjie trembled.
Li Ye looked very lonely and looked at everyone coldly. After the mistress finished speaking, he continued: "This is not a matter of the Xia family, but a matter of the entire five regions."
It was only then that Zuo Xiang said: "What the Imperial Master said makes sense, this world belongs to everyone."
"Since the dynasty is not the world of the Xia family, but the world of the people of the Five Realms, then everything should be centered on all living beings. The chaos you have caused has affected the peace of all living beings."
Li Ye said with a frown.
"For thousands of years, the imperial city has been passed down from generation to generation from the Xia family and has never been changed. Do you think that when you come here, you have to change these thousand unchanging rules?"
Xia Yunjie looked at Li Ye and said bitterly.
Li Ye looked up at him and suddenly smiled.
He said coldly: "There has been no change because the Xia family has been focusing on the livelihood of the people for thousands of years, even your father. The five regions have been peaceful for decades without war. If you want to change, then I I’ll help you change!”
"I think you want to rebel!" The right prime minister was so angry that his beard was trembling. He had no way out, and he understood why the left prime minister had not made a choice. It turned out that he was waiting for this day.
"I am the imperial advisor to begin with. Do I need to rebel?" Li Ye looked at the right minister and said quietly.
"You want to change the situation? You're dreaming! There are still 50,000 troops in the city, don't forget!" Xia Yunjie finally couldn't help it anymore.
When Li Ye heard this, he laughed, looked at a group of courtiers and said, "I can understand that your second prince wants to ascend the throne, but you shouldn't have an idea of an army in southern Xinjiang. You must know that we are bringing tens of thousands of troops to fight against the border. chaos!"
When the right minister heard this, he was immediately stunned.
Linghu Kuangyu stared at Li Ye and said tremblingly: "How dare you lead the southern Xinjiang army to massacre tens of thousands of my dynasty's troops! You... you are a devil!"
Hearing Linghu Kuangyu's words, the ministers trembled with fear, fearing that the butcher's knife hanging above their heads would fall on their heads.
Even Xia Yunjie couldn't help but trembled when he heard Linghu Kuangyu mention this matter again.
"You are only allowed to stop me at Fenglingdu, but we are not allowed to resist? Is it possible that the 100,000 Southern Xinjiang army will be at your mercy?"
Li Ye shook his head and continued: "In the land of Southern Xinjiang, your killers injured the Generalissimo, I can understand; but in White Jade City, your killers injured Princess Wutong, and many innocent soldiers did not deserve to die."
I remembered the scene where the eldest prince was hit by an arrow, and then he went back to the white jade city where the guard fell to the ground, and the injured Xia Wutong.
Li Ye said word for word: "Since I started killing people in southern Xinjiang, I have become ruthless. I killed 200,000 prairie cavalry and only 100,000 were left. Do you think I am still afraid of killing more people?" What?"
"Ten years ago, I was still practicing on Tianshan Mountain. The scenery there is very beautiful. I practiced on the mountain for more than two years, and I didn't even hurt a pheasant. When I got off Tianshan Mountain, killers from the imperial city came to the temple to kill me. , from now on, let me commit murder again and again."
Recalling his experiences from Fengyun City, Li Ye said quietly: "I don't like killing people. My life is very tough. Anyone who wants to kill me must be prepared to be killed by me."
Xia Yunjie clenched his hands into fists, his body trembling.
The right minister was so angry that he wanted to go up and fight with him, if he hadn't seen Xia Yunlan next to Li Ye.
Linghu Kuangyu shouted sternly: "Where is the majesty of the emperor? Do you have imperial power in your eyes?"
A group of courtiers standing behind him agreed: "Your Majesty's imperial power!"
The Prime Minister Zuo looked at him and said, "Your Majesty has ascended."
It was obvious that he did not recognize the new emperor sitting on the dragon throne, and a group of courtiers standing on his side also nodded. "Your Majesty is just ascending. You may not come back to see him one day."
The two factions of courtiers have already taken sides, representing their different attitudes.
The golden palace became quiet again, and only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard.
After a long time, Li Ye looked up at the sky outside the Golden Palace and said calmly: "The new emperor abdicates and we can discuss other matters after the general returns to the palace. How about that?"
The right minister spat hard on the ground and yelled: "Are you dreaming? Look up, it's broad daylight now."
Linghu Kuangyu even jumped up and cursed: "It seems that you are determined to become rebels!"
Zuo Xiang didn't say anything, but looked at Li Ye quietly. He believed that the Imperial Master had made thorough arrangements.
Looking at Li Ye outside the Golden Palace, he withdrew his gaze and said, "What if I just want to?"
When Linghu Kuangyu heard this, he said loudly: "You don't have a legacy edict, not to mention that we have already issued an edict to the world and been recognized by the five regions!"
Li Ye looked at him and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. I'll kill you all and then I will tell the world. Isn't it the same?"
Xia Yunjie was startled, pointed at him and was speechless.
Even Prime Minister Zuo and others were silent when they heard Li Ye's words.
Linghu Kuangyu pointed at him and shouted: "Are you dreaming? How many people can you sneak into the city? You must know that we haven't used the army inside yet. Do you want to fight with the tens of thousands of people in front of you?"
"You can try to notify the army in the city to come to the palace to save lives. I will sit here and wait!"
After Li Ye said these words quietly, the silence in the Golden Palace returned to its previous state. It was not that no one did not believe that the Imperial Master would do what he wanted to do.
Because they all understood one thing. There had been chaos in the Golden Palace for so long, but the guards in the palace did not react at all, and many courtiers recognized the man in black standing next to Li Ye.
The man in black who had been standing behind the emperor was now standing behind Li Ye.
This has to make them tremble. Is their innocence really about to change?
For the people in the five regions, the imperial city in the central region is naturally the most sacred and solemn place. As long as it is the decree issued by the imperial city, who dares to disobey the orders of the five regions? Who else has the courage to step out as the new emperor?
But now Xia Yunjie encountered such a problem. Nanxuanyu did not buy his account, while Dongxuanyu simply listened to Xuan's advice and did not listen to Xuan. After playing tricks with him, he was still his future father-in-law.
This made him furious. After solving the current situation, the first person to be solved was Dongfang Haotian of Dongxuan Territory.
The hours passed quietly in the confrontation, and noon came. The wind and snow in the Vientiane Imperial City had gradually subsided. The ministers standing in the main hall felt hungry in their bellies, and then they thought that it was almost noon and it was time to eat.
Some ministers are eager to end the situation at hand, but they also know that if the conflict between the imperial master and the new emperor cannot be resolved, they will not be able to leave here.
