Chapter 744: Claiming the title of Emperor

If you don’t abdicate, you will end up like the previous emperor …….. Emperor Yongxing’s mind was buzzing, and the tragic scene of Emperor Yuanjing’s death was floating in his mind.

Inside the Golden Palace, it was quiet all of a sudden, turning silent.

A cluster of eyes fell on Xu Qi’an, briefly, and no one chided or protested.

In today’s Da Feng, if there was anyone else who dared to regicide the king and was true to his word, Xu Qi’an in front of him counted as one.

After a long interval, King Yu walked out with a sullen face and persuaded:

“Xu Qi’an, the Dafeng is in turmoil, with internal and external troubles, it can’t afford to be tossed around. Remembering the court’s cultivation of you in the past, be magnanimous.”

King Yu knew that although he did not have the grace to promote Xu Qi’an, he had helped him a few times, so he went up to admonish him.

“That’s right!”

The Secretary of the Da Lisi swallowed his saliva, gathered his courage, and said in a loud voice:

“Xu Qi’an, you are the beloved one Wei Yuan relied on, and Wei Yuan was bent on supporting the country and opening up peace for the people of the Central Plains. How could you fail his wishes and personally push the court into the abyss of doom?”

With the beginning of the two men, the honored Wen Cheng who embraced the Yongxing Emperor have admonished.

In their eyes, it wasn’t true that Xu Qi’an was a lawless martial artist, but he was by no means a murderous maniac; on the contrary, what he had done in the past could be praised as chivalrous by anyone.

Therefore, they thought that as long as they took advantage of the reasoning and righteousness, they would be able to put pressure on Xu Qi’an.

There are ways in which a gentleman can be deceived!

The Yongxing Emperor, like a trapped beast driven to the brink of extinction, violently jumped up from the imperial seat, pointing at Xu Qi’an and roaring with a maniacal expression:

“You want to force me to abdicate?

“Xu Qi’an, I trusted you so much, relied on you, and gave you Lin’an in marriage. Is this how you repay me?

“Aren’t you afraid that if this matter spreads out, your reputation as Xu Yinluo will be ruined! In the future, you will not be remembered in the history of the world, and you are not afraid of being stigmatized for ten thousand years.”

A rabbit bites when it’s anxious, let alone an emperor.

“If I want to marry Lin An, I will naturally do so, why do I need you to bestow a marriage?”

Xu Qi’an grabbed the lance in Yang Yan’s hand, flicked his wrist, and with a “bang” sound, the lance flew out, carrying the corners of Emperor Yongxing’s clothes and stabbing into the imperial seat behind him.

Emperor Yongxing fell to the ground, his pupils lax and his body shaking slightly.

A moment ago, he felt a strong killing intent, and this shot, it was as if it had stabbed into his chest.

He really wants to kill me ……… Huge fear exploded in the Yongxing Emperor s heart.

“No!”

Inside the temple, there was a clamor.

King Yu and the others were startled, and a Prince was painfully aware of the situation and rebuked with everything he had:

“Xu Qi’an, when is it your turn to decide on the abolition of the emperor of my Dafeng.

“Do you have the court and the royal family in your eyes?”

The crowd of princes and county kings turned blue, doubly humiliated and indignant.

Strange shame!

In the six hundred years since the founding of the Dafeng, no one had ever dared to be so bold, even the Supervisor had not been this strong and domineering, treating the royal family as if they were ants.

The former emperor was killed when he said so, and the new emperor was abolished when he said so, the former emperor certainly deserved to die, but on the other hand, it also showed the weakness of the royal family, and it showed that Xu Qi’an didn’t put the Da Bong royal family in his eyes.

Or even regarded as a puppet to be manipulated.

This situation was a huge humiliation for the royal relatives of the clan present.

Where is the face.

Xu Qi’an walked slowly to the imperial throne, looked at King Yu and the other royal family members, and said:

“Yuan Jing is dim and treacherous, betraying his ancestors and the people; therefore, I will kill him.

“After Yuanjing’s death, the Dafeng was shaken by storms and raging cold, and the Yunzhou rebels took advantage of the situation. Yongxing is weak and fearful, and in order to protect his own position, he ceded land and begged for peace, he can even turn his back on his ancestors, do you think that such an incompetent ruler can really hold up a precarious court?

“Emperor Gaozu went through a lot of hardship to build this foundation, can you bear to see him destroyed at the hands of Yongxing?

“Why are all the princes in the palace willing to accompany me to clear the ruler’s side, why are the Wang and Wei parties as hot as water, but are willing to put aside their former enmity at this moment? Why are the generals outside willing to tie their heads to the waistband of their pants to force Yongxing to abdicate? Ask yourselves who is right and who is wrong.

“Who in the world turned their backs on their ancestors?”

Honorable King moved slightly, and the Prince County King beside him and on his side, opened his mouth as if he wanted to retort, but couldn’t find the right words.

Xu Qi’an then looked around at the public officials, swept over those who embraced Emperor Yongxing in the officials, and said in a deep voice:

“In the battle of Qingzhou, tens of thousands of generals and soldiers wrapped their bodies in horse leather, and it was not easy to spell out the elite of Yunzhou, but you all have a piece of paper to put their efforts to the torch, and you and others eat the salary of the imperial court, do you do it as a personnel?

“The treasury is empty, to maintain the military expenses and the functioning of the court, it is already difficult, Yongxing for the sake of the immediate peace, cut off his own life. Instead of admonishing, you are happy to see it, to facilitate the peace talks, a bellyful of sage books, all read into the stomach of a dog?

“Ceding the iron ore-rich Yuzhou, the grain-rich Zhangzhou, and sending grain and iron to the rebels in Yunzhou, lest the Great Feng not perish fast enough? Yongxing deceives himself and others, are you and others as useless as he is!”

An angry rebuke echoed through the hall.

The tongluo and silver gongs that followed Xu Qi’an’s rebellion, as well as the various guards and armorers, gripped the swords in their hands with righteous indignation.

In recent days, the court and Yunzhou peace talks, gossip spread throughout the capital, but anyone with a passionate heart is not even.

Since ancient times things are not equal.

Now, the civil officials were just as disliked as the clansmen.

But civil officials are good at verbal sparring, and some people are not convinced and whisper:

“But even the Superintendent is dead, what can we do? At this point in time, there’s no other way but to negotiate peace, and who else can defend against Yunzhou’s transcendent experts.”

A single gaze fell on Xu Qi’an to see how he would answer.

It wasn’t that they didn’t have a backbone, but Da Feng was already in a precarious situation, and their choice, forced by the situation, was never to recognize what Xu Qi’an had said.

“Then let me do it!”

Xu Qi’an’s tone was steeply elevated:

“Let the generals who kill the enemy on the front line come, and let the men and women who are willing to lay down their heads and spill their blood for Da Feng come. Whether Da Feng will die or rise is up to us. Not you feeble scholars who only show off your mouths in the temple hall to decide.”

He then looked at the armored soldiers present, “Gentlemen, are you willing to die in battle for the Central Plains and for the Great Fathers!”

Inside the temple, the armored soldiers holding their weapons responded with a roar:

“Willing to die in battle with Xu Yinluo!”

Xu Qi’an looked around at the surrounding civil officials and sneered in mockery:

“If this Yinluo dies in battle, and the Da Bong armored soldiers fold up, it will not be too late for you to surrender.”

No one spoke again.

At that moment, Xu Qi’an extended his hand, his tone calm:

“Come on!”

Outside the temple, a yellow stream of light whistled and sent itself into Xu Qi’an’s hands.

Zhen Guo Sword!

It still chose Xu Qi an ……… At this moment, the royal clansmen, the honored nobles, and the princes in the temple, froze and looked at this sword of the emperor of Gao Zu, the heirloom divine weapon that suppressed the national fortune for six hundred years.

There was consternation, helplessness, reflection, and relief in their eyes.

After three months, following the fall of the late emperor, the Zhen Guo Sword had once again chosen Xu Qi An.

The hall fell into dead silence, and no one spoke up to retort or rebuke anymore.

Huaiqing’s expression was clear and cold, his hands folded over the small of his back, and he faintly said:

“Please stay in the temple for now and wait for the Palace to summon you.”

She whirled around to look at Xu Qi’an and nodded slightly.

Xu Qi’an leaned down to pick up the Yongxing Emperor and walked out side by side with Huaiqing.

As he passed by the Yunzhou delegation, he glanced sideways and gave them a light glance.

Ji Yuan Xu Yuanfang and Xu Yuanhuai, their hearts simultaneously chilled.

When Xu Qi’an and Huaiqing left the Golden Palace, Ji Yuan lowered his voice very low:

“Yuan, Yuanhuai, do you have the confidence to break out?”

Xu Yuanhuai looked at him as if he were a fool:

“There are three of the fourth rank alone in the temple, and there must be more outside.”

Despair loomed in the hearts of all the people in the Yunzhou Mission.

“Damn it, this brainless reckless man, didn’t he say that Xu Qi’an has excellent intelligence and has caused the State Master to suffer repeated defeats?!” Ji Yuan’s eyes were bloodshot, his forehead veins bulging:

“He’s crazy!!!”

In his opinion, given the current situation of Daewong, “compromising” is a choice that a wise man should make, and then slowly look for the possibility of turning the tide.

Ji Yuan precisely believe that Xu Qi’an should have such wisdom, only to have full certainty and confidence to enter the capital negotiation, in order to flaunt the victor’s posture.

But Xu Qi’an’s current choice didn’t match what he had done in the past at all.

Reckless as a downright crude martial artist.

Ji Yuan was scared, and chills surged from his heart.

Xu Qi’an, who was seeking his own death in this way, would not have any concerns.

The Yunzhou mission is in jeopardy!

………..

Inside the imperial library.

Xu Qi’an threw the Yongxing Emperor onto the big chair, looked at his dumbfounded great-uncle, and faintly said:

“Need me to grind it for you?”

Emperor Yongxing’s face was pale and he said unwillingly:

“You don’t want me to seek peace, I can change, you want the court to continue fighting, I can also comply with your wishes. Xu Qi’an, I gave my sister in marriage to you, and yet you return the favor.

“You’re gracious and vengeful!!!”

At the end of his sentence, he growled hard.

“I gave you a chance.” Xu Qi’an picked up a piece of ink and gently ground it:

“You married Lin’an to me, but only to draw me in, if the one who was promoted to the third rank was a bystander, you would have bestowed Lin’an on him just the same, Lin’an is a girl I like, but you see her as a tool to draw people in, where is the grace in that?

“Yongxing, your biggest mistake is sitting in this position.

“No ability, but greedy for power, negotiation and peace is only the beginning, the subsequent war if unfavorable, you will continue to make more decisions to sell the country to self-preservation, in the future history, it is difficult to escape the name of the king of the deceased.

“I forced you to abdicate, both for self-preservation and for the sake of the Daebong kingdom.”

He dipped the brush in ink and handed it to Yongxing:

“That’s all there is to say, good riddance.”

Xu Qi’an then looked at Huaiqing:

“There are still a few battles in the palace that haven’t calmed down, so I’ll go suppress them first and leave this place to you.”

Huaiqing nodded.

Seeing Xu Qi’an leave, she instructed the armorer guarding the outside, saying:

“Go and invite King Knight, and bring the princes and county kings in the palace along with him.”

Several armorers led the way.

Not long after, several silver gongs and a dozen sword-wielding armorers pressed the princes and county kings into the side hall by the imperial study.

King Knight is old and has not come to the court today, and has come late.

Leaning on his crutches, King Knight bought over the threshold, and with a slightly cloudy gaze, he swept the house.

Wearing plain white long dress Huaiqing sat in the main seat, Yu Wang these princes, and the county king sat in the guest seat, the demeanor is a little formal, and leisurely sipping tea Huaiqing contrast.

“Uncle, quickly take a seat.”

Huaiqing made a gesture of invitation, signaling King Knight to sit in the second seat, alongside her.

King Li, leaning on his crutches, walked over unhurriedly and sat down on Huaiqing’s side, he looked sideways at this undemonstrative junior and slowly said:

“Tell me what’s going on.”

Surprisingly, this old Prince, who had a strong temperament, had a surprisingly calm attitude.

Wyvern laughed:

“The bigger the matter, the more quiet Uncle has become. Then Huaiqing will have something to say.”

At once the matter was briefly stated.

“Force Yongxing to abdicate ………” sighed King Knight:

“This king is old and has no desire to fight for power, and as Da Feng has come to this point today, I can’t count who is right and who is wrong. This king knows that you invited everyone here because you don’t want a bloody conflict.

“Straight up, who do you want to set up!”

The princes and county kings present, looked at Prince Yan in unison.

Prince Yan was born of the Empress Dowager, the true first son, and Huaiqing’s sibling, and it was impossible for Huaiqing and Xu Qi’an to join forces to rebel against the others.

Must support his elder brother to the throne.

If it was this Prince who took the throne, they didn’t have a problem with it; Emperor Yongxing’s decision to betray his ancestors and recognize the Yunzhou lineage as the orthodox lineage offended everyone in the royal family.

It was impossible for them to be at odds with their own lives in order to defend Emperor Yongxing’s throne.

Prince Yan’s face instantly flushed red, hearing his heart beating wildly in his chest as his blood boiled.

He couldn’t help but think of the history of Zhou that Huaiqing had shown him back then – biding his time!

He knew that the day had finally come.

“Wyvern, well done!”

Prince Yan took a deep breath and got up and walked towards his sibling, making a gesture to press his hand on her shoulder in appreciation.

Huaiqing raised his head and gave him a cold gaze, saying:

“Fourth brother, you’re not qualified to sit on the throne.”

She turned to King Knight, sweeping over the princes and kings present, and said in a single word:

“This palace wants to be called an emperor!”
