The gate of the imperial city is heavily guarded.

When the soldiers defending the city saw Li Junyan coming with his troops, they were frightened but did not surrender immediately.

Zhao Tingyou, the Zhonglang Jiang guarding the city gate, looked at Li Junyan gravely, "Prince Chen, why are you here? Shouldn't you be in Tingzhou? You brought your troops here so late at night. Are you planning a rebellion?"

Although Li Junyan was standing under the city gate with his head held high, his aura was not weak at all, and was even much stronger than Zhao Tingyou.

"Zhao Tingyou, if you open the door, I will not kill you."

Zhao Tingyou's eyes flickered for a moment, but he quickly became firm. "Your Highness, although I have always admired you, I also feel that... I cannot open this city gate."

Li Junyan nodded, "Then I can only say to you, goodbye!"

Zhao Tingyou suddenly laughed, "It is a blessing for me to hear these two words from the prince's mouth!"

Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to fight.

Sang Jueqian looked at this scene and wanted to help open the door directly, or directly deal with Zhao Tingyou and others.

But after this thought came up, it was quickly suppressed by Sang Jueqian.

She can't do everything for Li Junyan.

If things are done tonight, Li Junyan will ascend the throne as emperor.

If she were to do everything, how could Emperor Li Junyan convince the people and maintain his authority?

The outcome of an emperor who cannot command the support of his people and has no prestige can be imagined.

The battle started quickly and ended even faster.

Zhao Tingyou resisted with all his might, but not everyone was Zhao Tingyou.

Some people are simply afraid, while others are very smart.

No matter what everyone was thinking, the city gate opened half an hour later.

Li Junyan led his men into the city gate, and Zhao Tingyou was not dead, but was controlled.

They fought at the city gate for half an hour, and naturally the palace had already received the news.

The emperor was extremely panicked. On the one hand, he hoped to be able to resist, and on the other hand, he sent people to pack up and try to escape.

But before he could escape with his men, he was surrounded by Li Junyan's men.

The emperor looked horrified.

After all, he is only in his teens.

Today, he is just a high school student.

But in ancient times, he was already the king of a country.

The emperor looked around and realized that the situation was hopeless, but he did not want to accept his fate.

"Prince Chen, are you plotting a rebellion? You used such means to seize the throne. Do you think the people in the court will obey you?"

Li Junyan looked at the emperor calmly, "You and I are thinking the same thing. To reduce some trouble, please write an imperial edict to abdicate. I won't kill you. From now on, you can be a leisurely prince and live a life of luxury."

The emperor's expression turned ferocious. "Who wants to be an idle prince? You talk nicely, but if I really abdicate to you, will you still let me live? Li Junyan, you used to act like you didn't care about the throne at all, and you were just pretending! Now you've finally revealed your wolfish ambitions! I only regret that I couldn't kill you before!"

"Do you think you still have a choice at this point?"

The emperor's expression changed, and he looked at Li Junyan with increasing horror, "What do you mean by that?"

"I have already brought people here. After daybreak, the owner of this palace will be me. You have no choice.

Whether you believe it or not, I have to say that before you ascended the throne, I never thought of competing with you or rebelling.

If you can work diligently and love the people, and stop targeting me and treating me as your enemy, I can also help you secure the throne.

But you have clearly already sat in this position, but you don't put the people first. All you think about all day is dealing with me, and you even poison the people of the world in order to deal with me.

Someone like you who doesn't take the lives of the people seriously is unworthy of being the emperor. I'm here today not only to comply with public opinion, but also to give the people of the world a way out."

The emperor's face was filled with anger. "It sounds nice, but it's just an excuse for myself. I poisoned those people, so what? I'm the emperor. If I want them dead, they must die. Not only must they die, but they must also be grateful to me."

And you! If you didn't always want to be in the spotlight, if you didn't always do things before me, if the Goddess didn't help you and not me, how could I regard you as a thorn in my side? This is all your fault! I am the new emperor! Even if the Goddess wanted to save the people of the world, why didn't she come to discuss it with me? Why didn't she cooperate with me? What you and the Goddess did, do you take me, the emperor, seriously? "

Listening to his hysterical questioning, the last bit of patience in Li Junyan's heart was completely exhausted.

"Over the years, you have only learned the art of being an emperor, but never learned how to be a good emperor. Come, invite him back to the imperial study."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qi and Xu San immediately stepped forward and took him to follow Li Junyan back to the imperial study.

The imperial study was not empty.

At this moment, there were several people standing in the imperial study.

All the powerful people in the court are here, even the iron-hat prince Heng is here.

When the emperor saw these people, his face was full of surprise. "Why are you here?"

No one answered, and some even avoided the emperor's sight.

Seeing their reactions, the emperor quickly reacted.

These people appeared here not for him, but for Li Junyan.

They have already stood on Li Junyan's side!
