At this time, the eldest princess Xue Lingjun walked into the Tianhe Palace under the protection of a group of people. Li Chenzhou was secretly proud. Xue Lingjun had to choose to stand with him today regardless of whether he was willing or not. He made a happy gesture to Shi Kuan behind Xue Lingjun.
He had an indescribable look in his eyes. Without the internal support of Shi Kuan, the leader of the Golden Scale Guard, how could he have controlled the palace so smoothly. What happened today was imperative. He must not continue to tolerate Xue Daoming. If he missed this opportunity
, I'm afraid he can no longer control the momentum of this guy's rise.
Xue Lingjun came to the court and couldn't help but sigh quietly and said: "The emperor just went to the north to ****, why did he end up like this again?"
Li Chenzhou clasped his fists pretending to be confused and said: "Your Majesty, the eldest princess, Xiang Liren teamed up with Dong Bingkun and others to cause trouble. Fortunately, they were discovered in time."
Xue Lingjun nodded and said, "How brave you are. Where are those traitors now?"
Li Chenzhou said: "Xiang Liren resisted and was killed on the spot. Dong Bingkun fled in a hurry and is now wanted. I hope he can't escape from Yongdu."
When all the ministers heard this, they were all frightened. Even Dong Bingkun and Xiang Liren had lost power, let alone them. The emperor really shouldn't have left at this time. No one expected that Li Chenzhou would unfold behind him just after the emperor left.
Violent and resolute means. In fact, this is not the first time that this phenomenon has happened. Li Chenzhou had already staged a drama of seizing power in Ci'en Garden. In that palace upheaval, it was Empress Dowager Jiang and Xue Daohong who died and escaped.
King Xue Shengjing of Yan, the winner that time was Li Chenzhou and the eldest princess Xue Lingjun.
Their original intention of electing Xue Daoming to the throne was just to support a puppet, but it backfired. They did not expect that Xue Daoming had such powerful energy, and the successive natural disasters in Dayong also overwhelmed them, not to mention that there was Xue Shengjing behind them.
They were making trouble in secret, and the Black Beard's invasion from the north made their situation even worse.
The real situation forced Li Chenzhou and Xue Lingjun to stir up another storm. They had to eliminate their dissidents and prevent Xue Daoming's power from continuing to grow.
For Li Chenzhou, this was a last resort. Dakang had already confiscated his father's home and imprisoned him. Before the situation deteriorated further, he had to firmly control the situation in Dayong, and the only way was to do so.
In this way, he might not be in danger, and he might be able to save his father.
Although all civil and military officials are aware of the relationship between Xue Lingjun and Li Chenzhou, Xue Lingjun's royal status is more convincing than Li Chenzhou after all. Li Chenzhou invited Xue Lingjun at this time just because he wanted to be famous.
Xue Lingjun glanced at Sun Weiyuan's face, and Sun Weiyuan shouted: "Your Highness, the eldest princess, I am wronged!"
Xue Lingjun said calmly: "If you are wronged, you should tell the emperor, but the emperor is not here."
Li Chenzhou sneered and said: "If the emperor had not gone to Northern Xinjiang, these thieves would not have dared to take the opportunity to cause trouble!"
Everyone was secretly cursing Li Chenzhou, the thief was himself, it was true that the thief shouted to catch the thief!
Xue Lingjun said: "Although the emperor is not here, we can't let these traitors do whatever they want. Let's push them down and chop them down!"
Sun Weiyuan was also a veteran of three dynasties. Unexpectedly, Xue Lingjun was about to kill him so lightly. Everyone felt cold. How could Sun Weiyuan be convinced? By now, he had forgotten his fear. He yelled: "Li Chenzhou, you thief, you cover the sky with one hand and dominate the court."
"Tang, Xue Lingjun, you are a **** who helps the emperor to do evil, are you worthy of the emperor? Are you worthy of the ancestors of the Xue family..."
Li Chenzhou was furious when he heard this. He drew his sword from his waist and pierced Sun Weiyuan's chest with the sword. Sun Weiyuan screamed and fell limply to the ground. Blood flowed all over the ground instantly.
When everyone saw the scene in front of them, they were shocked and shocked. No one dared to speak out, and they felt sad and helpless in their hearts.
Li Chenzhou said coldly: "Roaring at the court, insulting His Highness, making irresponsible remarks, confusing right and wrong, and you deserve to die!"
Xue Lingjun's beautiful eyes showed a trace of unbearable color. She bit her lips and turned her face away. She really couldn't bear to look at Sun Weiyuan, who was still twitching in a pool of blood.
Li Chenzhou said: "Before the emperor left Beijing, he left a secret edict. If something unexpected happens in the palace, Her Royal Highness the Princess will temporarily take charge of the government." He raised the imperial edict in his hand.
The ministers understood in their hearts that Li Chenzhou was up to his old tricks again. This imperial edict was probably forged by himself. No one dared to expose him anyway. The emperor was now in northern Xinjiang. Looking at the whole country, no one could suppress this person. They joined forces to make a long-term decision.
Princess Xue Lingjun, this time is going to let Xue Lingjun come to the forefront, imitate Dakang, and introduce a female generation to take control of the political power. Although everyone is unwilling to accept it, in the face of Li Chenzhou's aggressive posture and cruel and ruthless methods, no one dares to speak out.
Li Chenzhou smiled slightly at Xue Lingjun, but Xue Lingjun was completely unaware and seemed not to see his smile at all.
At this moment, a loud announcement came from outside: "Your Majesty has arrived!"
Everyone was shocked, and Li Chenzhou was also extremely surprised. The emperor was back? Impossible. Xue Daoming had clearly gone to Northern Xinjiang, how could he come back so soon? He couldn't make it in time? He made sure again and again that his itinerary should be correct.
Everyone in the court looked outside and saw Xue Daoming striding into the Tianhe Hall accompanied by Dong Bingtai, the Minister of Civil Affairs.
Li Chenzhou's heart sank. He concluded almost immediately that Xue Daoming was the emperor himself. As expected, this man did not leave. Li Chenzhou immediately thought of the key. It should be that Xue Daoming, Dong Bingtai and others deliberately set off smoke screens to make him think that he had
They went to Northern Xinjiang to ****. In fact, the person who went to Northern Xinjiang was probably just a stand-in. They only showed up after they waited for themselves to take action and the evidence of the crime was confirmed.
All the civil and military officials were overjoyed to see the emperor appear. Today's events were really suppressed first and then advanced. It turned out that the emperor had been in Yongdu all along and he wanted to design a plan to get rid of the traitor Li Chenzhou.
Xue Daoming said angrily: "Li Chenzhou, do you know your guilt?"
Li Chenzhou laughed loudly and said: "Why did your Majesty say this? I am responsible for eradicating traitors and quelling the rebellion for the imperial court. What crime do you have? Your Majesty must not be deceived by people with evil intentions, listen to slander, and be deceived!" When speaking, his eyes were closed!
Keep an eye on Dong Bingtai.
Dong Bingtai said: "Li Chenzhou, you framed Zhongliang, killed your colleagues, and now you want to deceive the emperor. Let me ask you, who are you, Grand Master Wen Chenghuan of Dakang? What is your relationship with him?"
Li Chenzhou's heart tightened. The worst had indeed happened. It seemed that his father's true identity had been exposed. He just sneered and said nothing.
Dong Bingtai said: "If you don't want to answer, I will answer for you. Dakang Taishi Wen Chenghuan is Li Mingzuo who defected to Dakang by faking his death. He is your biological father. It is sad that Duke Jingguo was loyal throughout his life, but he left behind
You, father and son, are unfaithful and unfilial, betraying Dayong's interests for your own selfish purposes, and colluding with Great Kang to overthrow our dynasty!"
Li Chenzhou heard that he actually insulted his father, which was Dayong's rebellion. It was pitiful that his old father had abandoned his family and his son, endured the humiliation, and remained anonymous for so many years. In the end, he ended up like this. He could still hold back in his heart and roared: "Shut up!
"
Dong Bingtai laughed and said: "Why did you ask me to shut up again? Are you worried that I will tell the truth?" He turned to the ministers and said: "If you don't believe it, just ask Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, what did she give to Mrs. Wen when she went to Dakang as an envoy?
What gift do you have for me?"
Everyone's eyes were turned to the eldest princess Xue Lingjun.
Xue Lingjun sighed and looked at Li Chenzhou with her charming eyes. She slowly shook her head and said apologetically: "I did not expect that you would collude with Wen Chenghuan to betray Dayong's interests."
Li Chenzhou's eyes were full of confusion and astonishment. He never imagined that Xue Lingjun would betray him. This woman who once belonged to him, the first woman in the true sense of his life, would betray him.
Xue Lingjun bit his lips and said, "I am a member of the royal family, so how could I betray my ancestors, let alone give up my country to a wolfish and ambitious person like you?"
Her words struck Li Chenzhou's heart like a long whip. Li Chenzhou felt his heart bleeding. He nodded slowly and winked at Shi Kuan, but Shi Kuan was indifferent.
Li Chenzhou understood something immediately. He turned to Xue Daoming and said coldly: "I underestimated you, but what can you do to defeat me?"
Dong Bingtai said: "The emperor never likes to take risks."
Several people walked out from behind them. Li Chenzhou looked up and saw that the people took off their human skin masks and saw that the leader was Qiu Xiangguang, the master of the Sword Palace. Qiu Xiangguang looked at Li Chenzhou mercilessly.
Li Chenzhou nodded bitterly and said, "Qiu Xiangguang, do you dare to go against me?"
Qiu Xianguang said: "The mission of the Sword Palace has always been to protect the imperial court, not to rebel against a traitor."
Li Chenzhou laughed loudly and felt the heavy footsteps behind him. It must be Shi Kuan. The Golden Scale Guards and Sword Palace disciples had already protected the emperor and the eldest princess. Li Chenzhou was also surrounded by a group of top masters. Li Chenzhou stared through the crowd.
He looked into Xue Daoming's eyes: "Xue Daoming, don't forget that it was you who personally killed your brother, the real emperor of Dayong."
Xue Daoming suddenly became panicked, and then became angry. He yelled: "Kill him, kill him for me!"
Li Chenzhou had already drawn his sword and rushed out. He wanted to complete the breakthrough from Qiu Xianguang. He was confident enough to kill Qiu Xiangguang. He rushed out from this gap and faced Xue Daoming and Dong Bingtai directly. Even if he was defeated, he would still
Kill these two people. In comparison, Shi Kuan's martial arts behind him is better than Qiu Xianguang's, and the Sword Palace disciples around Qiu Xianguang are not afraid at all.
Li Chenzhou has always been a thoughtful and well-planned person. Although he just miscalculated once, he still has confidence and believes that he will not miscalculate again.
