After the divorce, the reborn emperor seduced me into his arms

Chapter 184: Killing the King and Seizing the Throne

As soon as Queen Wang finished speaking, more imperial guards rushed into the Golden Palace.

In addition to the officials of Wang's party who stood behind Queen Wang, a small number of officials, seeing that the situation was not good, also quietly stood on the side of Wang's party.

It’s not that these officials suddenly turned against us.

Rather, these officials themselves were neutral and knew very well the situation of the Yong Dynasty. Since the establishment of the Yong Dynasty, except for the first generation of ancestors, the subsequent generations of emperors were controlled by relatives. In order to allow the descendants of the Ying family to regain some power, the late emperor even used himself as bait and died together with the relatives.

Therefore, the first rule for being an official in the Yong Dynasty is to learn how to protect yourself.

Now Queen Wang has forced the emperor to abdicate.

The Wang family of Langya, who had controlled the Yong Dynasty for hundreds of years, and the emperor, who had always been constrained and checked by his foreign relatives, all knew to support Queen Wang as long as any official with a little bit of common sense.

But there are also very few that don't.

Among them were Lord Wang, the Minister of Justice, Lord Wang, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and Li Bo, the Governor of Jingzhao Prefecture.

The Jingzhao prefect, who is usually the most timid and fearful, was actually standing in the front this time.

The Jingzhao prefect looked at Queen Wang with a serious expression: "Your Majesty, please think twice before you act. Treason is a serious matter that will lead to the execution of all nine generations of your clan. Before anything serious happens, please step aside!"

"Punish the entire clan?"

Queen Wang looked coldly at the Jingzhao prefect and said, "Li Bo, if you try to stop me again, I will kill all your clans!"

The prefect of Jingzhao remained unmoved.

The Supreme Court Minister and the Ministry of Justice Vice Minister also stepped forward and said sternly, "Empress, please leave the throne room!"

"retreat?"

Queen Wang suddenly looked at Emperor Yong on the jade steps and said sarcastically, "I have no way out. Come, arrest all those who stand in my way. Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!"

"You dare!"

Emperor Yong was furious and asked, "Do you think that if you can control the Imperial Guards, I can do nothing to you?"

Queen Wang laughed and said, "Your Majesty, after all these years, haven't you realized it? It's not just the Imperial Guards, even your personal guards, the Holy Martial Army, which are now under my control? In the entire Yong Dynasty, apart from the 300,000 Ye Family Army under the command of that old scoundrel Ye Zhennan, which army is completely yours?"

Emperor Yong snorted coldly: "Three hundred thousand Ye family soldiers are enough!"

"What a pity~"

Queen Wang walked up to Ye Zhennan.

At this moment, Ye Zhennan had already been captured by the imperial guards and tied up.

Queen Wang glared at Ye Zhennan and said, "Now that the commander-in-chief of the Ye family army has been captured by me, the 300,000-man army is nothing but a leaderless army. Moreover, they are far away at the border. How can they save Your Majesty?"

"His Majesty--"

Queen Wang turned to look at Emperor Yong and said gently, "I advise you not to be so stubborn. After all, we are husband and wife. As long as you write the edict of abdication and hand over the throne to Prince Chu, I will not make things difficult for you. But if you resist stubbornly..."

"Resisting stubbornly?"

Emperor Yong was so angry that he laughed at this word.

He was an emperor, yet someone told him not to resist?

Even though the entire Golden Palace was surrounded by imperial guards, and even though everyone had been captured by Queen Wang, Emperor Yong remained calm and composed on the high platform. He stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Queen Wang: "What if I don't agree?"

"Father——"

Before Queen Wang could say anything, Prince Ying suddenly rushed out.

He held a long sword in his hand, and looked at Emperor Yong with a distorted face and bloodshot eyes: "Don't force me!"

Emperor Yong sneered, "Why, do you still want to kill me?"

Ying Chu suddenly roared, "You wanted to kill me! I'm your biological son! The legitimate son of the Empress Dowager. You should have passed the throne to me long ago, but you just wouldn't!"

"The throne of the Eastern Palace? Are you worthy of it?!"

"That should have been mine!"

Ying Chu rushed forward, pointing his sword at Emperor Yong. "Father, what have I done wrong? According to our ancestral system, I am the heir to the Yong Dynasty, yet you refuse to make me Crown Prince. You even deliberately allow Ying Yuan and the Cui family to become my enemies. Why? Is it because my mother is the daughter of the Wang family of Langya?"

"That's right!"

Emperor Yong said coldly, "The Yong Empire must not fall into the hands of the Wang family!"

"Then why did you marry my mother? Why did you give birth to me, your son?"

Ying Chu raised his sword and roared, "I am your son, the Queen Mother. I wanted to be like you, the Emperor, and eliminate the Wang family's faction once I took your throne. But you, the Emperor, consider me a member of your faction as well!"

It was you who pushed me into the Wang family!"

Facing Ying Chu's angry roar, Emperor Yong looked indifferent.

This further stimulated Ying Chu, and he placed his sword on Emperor Yong's neck with a swish.

"His Majesty!"

The civil and military officials below screamed in fear.

Ying Chu said in a cold voice: "Father, you must write the abdication edict today, whether you want to or not!"

Queen Wang gave a wink, and immediately a eunuch brought writing brush, ink, and a blank edict.

Emperor Yong took a look and remained unmoved.

Ying Chu exerted a little force in his hands.

A blood stain immediately appeared on Emperor Yong's neck.

The officials below were so frightened that they screamed again: "Your Majesty, be careful!!"

"Write!"

Looking at the bloodstains on the long sword, Ying Chu said maliciously: "Father, this sword of yours has no eyes. If I don't write..."

Emperor Yong glanced at him calmly: "After I die, even if you sit on this throne, you will be a regicide and a disgrace to history!"

Ying Chu narrowed his eyes and suddenly said fiercely: "Even if I am infamous for eternity, this son will definitely sit on this seat today!

Father, since you are seeking death, I will grant your wish—"

"do not want!"

"stop!"

Civil and military officials screamed in fear.

However, Ying Chu didn't care at all. As early as when Emperor Yong wanted to send him to the clan house, he hated his father.

He is not as hypocritical as his father, who wants both power and fame!

As long as I can sit in that seat.

So what if I kill the king?

So what if everyone in the world scolds him?

Ying Chu suddenly exerted force with his arms and fiercely cut towards Emperor Yong's head: "Go to hell——"

"Whoosh!"

A long arrow suddenly passed over everyone and shot in from outside the Golden Palace.

The arrow broke through the encirclement of the imperial guards and hit Ying Chu directly.

"Chu'er!"

Queen Wang screamed.

However, the arrow did not hit Ying Chu's chest, but hit his arm at the critical moment.

Ying Chu cried out in pain, and his arm instantly lost strength.

The sword in his hand also fell to the ground.

Emperor Yong raised his foot and kicked Ying Chu down.

"Escort!"

I don't know who shouted.

The imperial guards below were thrown into chaos in an instant.

The prefect of Jingzhao, the vice minister of the Ministry of Justice, and the chief justice of the Dali Temple immediately took advantage of the chaos to run to Emperor Yong and protect him behind them.

Gu Huaizhou drew out a long sword of the imperial guards and cut the rope on Ye Zhennan. Ye Zhennan immediately shouted loudly, grabbed the knife and killed a large number of people!
