Xiao Yu couldn't believe his eyes. The man who had become the "Emperor of Daxing" suddenly appeared in front of him.
The most embarrassed and panicked man present at this time was Xiao Wei. His jaw almost dropped to the ground, and the imperial edict in his hand was invalid. He became the biggest joke in the entire hall.
Xiao Yuheng yawned loudly and said with a smile: "I slept a little too much this time. That pill is really useful. Are you right? Eunuch Gao?"
The senior official smiled coquettishly and nodded quickly.
Xiao Yuheng then looked at everyone in the room. Some people were surprised; some were obedient and knelt on the ground; some even looked at him angrily. This was not Xiao Wei, but the guards.
Xiao Yuheng saw someone glaring at him with a gloomy look on his face: "Then what do you want me to do? Do you want me to dig out your eyes?"
The leader of the guards sneered: "If you die, you will die. If you drag a foolish king to support me, your life will be worth living!"
As soon as the leader of the guards finished speaking, he shouted, jumped up, pulled out the ring-shou knife and was about to chop off Xiao Yuheng's head.
When the other guards saw this, they gritted their teeth and followed closely with their weapons drawn.
Everyone present was horrified, but Xiao Yuheng's face was calm, perhaps with a sinister smile on his lips.
"Want to kill me? Is it that easy?"
As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of iron hooks suddenly dropped from the roof. These iron hooks fell accurately and firmly hooked the guards who wanted to kill him.
While the guards were still struggling to break free, ten black-clad guards jumped down from the rafters and killed the guards effortlessly.
Looking at the corpses on the ground, Xiao Yuheng frowned and said coldly: "I said that anyone who comes ten steps closer to me will die."
Xiao Yuheng looked at the important ministers on the other side.
Zhu Yi took two steps forward, stretched out his arms and knelt on the ground, shouting loudly: "Long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"
Other important ministers also followed Zhu Yi's example, shouting "long live the mountain".
At this time, the only people standing on the other side of Danbi were Xiao Yu and Cui Huijing.
Seeing Xiao Yuheng standing in front of him alive, Xiao Yu felt something strange in his heart. Everything was like a dream, but this dream was so cruel that blood flowed into the river.
Cui Huijing was seen quietly standing there thoughtfully. After a moment, he sighed. He did not kneel down like other important ministers, but tremblingly bowed his hands to Xiao Yuheng.
Xiao Yuheng was not angry about this situation. He waved his hand and said: "Cui Xiangguo has worked hard for many years and has been dedicated to the country. I specially decree that Cui Guoxiang can enter the court without kneeling in the future."
Cui Huijing raised his head slightly and looked at Xiao Yuheng. His expression immediately became sluggish and old again.
"Old minister, thank you Your Majesty." Cui Huijing stepped in and bowed deeply. He slowly straightened his already stooped waist and continued, "Your Majesty, I am old and unable to pursue political affairs in my position. Please allow me to allow you to do so." Return to your hometown after becoming an official."
"Old Xiangguo insists on leaving?" Xiao Yuheng frowned.
"Your Majesty, please release the old minister to serve..."
Xiao Yuheng hesitated again and again: "The old Prime Minister is gone, is there anyone who can take over the position of the old Prime Minister and preside over the affairs of the court?"
"Grand Situ Xiao Yi can take over the old minister's position and preside over the government." Cui Huijing said.
"Where's Situ Xiao?" Xiao Yuheng looked in the direction of the important minister.
Xiao Yu didn't know Xiao Yi, but he knew that Xiao Situ was the elder brother of Xiao Yan, the governor of Yuzhou who was in charge of Jingxiang. Historically, Xiao Yan raised an army to overthrow the Southern Qi Dynasty, largely because Xiao Baojuan was suspected of killing Xiao Yi. .
There is no need to explain Xiao Yi's talents. In history, he has been the fire-fighting captain who saved Southern Qi from danger many times. Cui Huijing recommended Xiao Yi, which is of course a good choice.
But at this time, the important ministers looked at each other, but no one came out.
Finally, an official came out and said, "Your Majesty may have forgotten that Xiao Situ contradicted Your Majesty last month... and now he is thinking about it at home."
Xiao Yuheng said as if he suddenly realized: "Ah, if Wang Shizhong didn't remind me, I really forgot. This matter will be discussed later."
All the important officials present said yes.
At this time, Xiao Yuheng's eyes turned to Danbi.
Xiao Wei had already knelt on the ground, and his urine and feces were flowing out for a while. He was completely frightened, staring blankly ahead, and giggled.
Xiao Yuheng said disgustedly: "Come here, take off my white hat. This pickled thing has stained my dragon robe, I don't want it anymore."
"Come slave!"
Zhou Neiguan, who had been paralyzed in the center of Danbi, suddenly became energetic. He stepped forward to take off the white hat on Xiao Wei's head.
Xiao Wei seemed to be really crazy. He suddenly covered his head with both hands and shouted loudly: "This is mine, mine. No one can take away my white hat."
However, Zhou Neiguan found that he wanted to perform well this time, but it was not necessarily a good job. He was afraid that he would damage the white hat that symbolized imperial power without paying attention.
With great difficulty, Zhou Neiguan managed to snatch the white hat back with much coaxing and deception. He walked up to Xiao Yuheng and presented the white hat with both hands.
"Dirty..." Xiao Yuheng said lightly.
Zhou Neiguan's heart skipped a beat and he knelt down on the ground.
The high official on the side glanced disdainfully at the apprentice he had brought out by himself. He took the white hat and put it on Xiao Yuheng's head solemnly.
Everyone present shouted long live again, and this time Xiao Yu was stunned and knelt down.
The sound of fighting outside gradually disappeared. The outer door of the hall was pushed open, and a group of soldiers wearing bright armor broke in.
The ministers were once again stunned when they saw the short General Wei Rui walking in the middle, followed by General Zhige Pei Zhi and several other generals whom Xiao Yu did not recognize.
Su Wei Zhonglang, Lu Zixun, was covered in wounds. He was tied up and sent in, looking like he was ready to die.
When the generals saw that Xiao Yuheng was still alive, except for Wei Rui, everyone else's faces showed surprise and they hurriedly performed military salutes.
"All the generals have worked hard, and you are all rewarded." Xiao Yuheng said and looked at the tied up Lu Zixun again, and couldn't help showing a hint of mischief on his pale face, "Lu Zixun, haha, I never thought you would follow Xiao Wei. Stupid people did this stupid thing."
Lu Zixun didn't look at Xiao Yuheng and snorted coldly: "Everyone is responsible for what he does. I don't blame anyone else. I just blame me, Lu Zixun, for admitting the wrong person!"
Xiao Yuheng laughed loudly: "Did you admit the wrong person? Do you think I can't figure out the intricate and broken relationships between your noble clans? I always thought that you, Lu Zixun, were brave and loyal, and that you were a person, but I didn't want to be so short-sighted! Haha... "
Lu Zixun looked at Xiao Wei, who was giggling in his Majesty Dan, and couldn't help but feel chilled.
"If you die, you will die. There is nothing to be afraid of!"
Lu Zixun suddenly threw away the two soldiers beside him and rushed towards Xiao Yuheng.
