"Treason, this is treason! Is there any law in this world?"

"You are a eunuch, yet you bully His Majesty like this... I will fight you!!!"

"Heaven is blind, and has caused our Daliang to suffer such a national disaster...!"

Veins bulged on Yan Zheng's forehead. He pointed his knife at Ma Yan and was about to speak.

Li Zhengqing took over the conversation and kept winking at Ma Yan.

"Ma Yan, why don't you put down your knife and apologize to His Majesty!

His Majesty treated you well in the past. If you let His Majesty go, he will definitely show leniency!"

This guy must be too nervous to do such a stupid thing.

You must not provoke him at this time.

Otherwise, if Yan Ning was really killed, the world would be in chaos, and all his plans would be ruined!

Yan Ning was so scared that she started crying, but the force on her neck did not relax at all.

The gloomy smile on Ma Yan's face disappeared in an instant, and he shouted to Li Zhengqing in panic:

"Minister Li, you made me do this, now let me put down the knife...

Tell me, are you going to sell me out?

Ma Yan's voice was clearly heard by everyone.

Countless angry gazes turned from Ma Yan to Li Zhengqing.

Li Zhengqing was a little bit unbelievable:

"Don't lie. When did I ever ask you to do this?!"

However, Ma Yan insisted that this was arranged in advance by Li Zhengqing with the purpose of assassinating the king and usurping power.

Yan Zheng was standing next to Li Zhengqing. Upon hearing what he said, he grabbed Li Zhengqing's collar with such force that he staggered several steps.

"You want to murder His Majesty!?"

Yan Zheng's eyes were almost spitting fire when he thought that he had first used Axue to threaten him, and now put His Majesty in danger.

He wished he could kill Li Zhengqing with one blow!

But he hated himself even more. He had a moment's thought and actually believed Li Zhengqing's lies that he would not harm His Majesty!

If Your Majesty makes the slightest mistake, I will never be able to atone for my sins even if I am cut into pieces!

Seeing Yan Zheng so excited, Li Zhengqing immediately said:

“Commander Yan, you might as well think about it carefully. There are still hundreds of thousands of Potian troops loyal to Your Majesty in the northwest.

How could a lowly official like you, with no military power, dare to commit such an act of seeking power and usurping the throne?

If anything happens to Your Majesty and the world is in chaos, the first person the Potian Army will kill will be me, Li Zhengqing.

Do you think I would do something so stupid?"

"You still... lied to me!" Yan Zheng stared into Li Zhengqing's eyes.

His extreme anger temporarily overcame his stuttering problem, and he spoke in one breath:

“Don’t think I don’t know that the previous emperor’s Concubine Rong once gave birth to a little prince and was sent out of the palace.

That little prince is also the blood of your Li family. If you kill His Majesty, you can let him succeed to the throne, right? "

Li Zhengqing blurted out in a hurry:

"Yan Tiao is dead, where will the successor come from?!"

The scene was silent.

The ministers looked at each other, with surprise, shock, anger and other emotions constantly changing and brewing on their faces.

Zhao Siyi suddenly had an idea and shouted at the top of his voice:

"If you hadn't been keeping an eye on the little prince, how would you know that he was in trouble?"

Yan Zheng's expression changed, and he looked even angrier.
