Just then, a loud shout rang out:
"We've won a battle! We should be happy!"
"These bastards dared to invade our territory and kill our people. They must pay for this in blood!" The speaker was none other than Dian Wei.
"Yes! The general is right! It is truly a great joy that His Highness has led his army to annihilate these red-haired devils today!"
As soon as this was said, someone else followed up:
"Those bastards from Tuyuan Kingdom! They've caused no end of trouble in Xijing over the years! It's hateful that some traitorous dogs are secretly colluding with them! Otherwise, they would never dare to send troops to Xijing!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Ze's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice:
"I came here today without receiving any orders. His Majesty's decision to cede Xijing is truly against the will of the people. Xijing has been our territory since ancient times. Even if I disobey the imperial court's orders, I will never allow Xijing to fall into the hands of Tu Yuan!"
"Xijing, I will protect you from now on!"
Hearing this, Zhang Ye's pent-up anger was reignited.
He walked up to the crowd and shouted in a loud voice:
"Those powerful families have already fled to the Tu Yuan Kingdom! It's utterly hateful!"
"But the current Empress Jin Fengluan sat idly by while Xijing suffered humiliation at the hands of the Tuyuan Kingdom. Not only did she not send a large army to quell the rebellion, but she also wanted to sever ties with Xijing! She is the greatest sinner!"
"If it weren't for the Prince leading his troops today, I'm afraid Xijing would have fallen today!"
"By then, who knows how many more people will lose their lives at the hands of the Tu Yuan Kingdom!"
Zhang Ye's words immediately ignited the anger that had been building up in everyone's hearts.
Immediately someone shouted, "The imperial court doesn't take Xijing seriously at all; they're practically handing this land over to the authorities!"
"The legacy of our ancestors will be destroyed in her hands sooner or later!"
Zhang Ye, enraged, turned to look at the crowd and then shouted:
"The prince was clearing out the Hu cavalry in Beiliang when he was ambushed and killed by court officials!"
"Although Jin Fengluan appeared to have killed Huanglong, little did people know that she had already harbored malicious intentions!"
"Not long ago, the Thousand Machine Battalion, which was under the command of Prince Qing, secretly sent people out of the capital to assassinate the prince. Fortunately, our Red Tide Alliance discovered this and sent people to intercept them, so nothing happened."
"Your Highness previously said he wanted to purge the court of corrupt officials, but besides Huang Long, the Jin family is the real culprit in this court!"
"Purge the court of corrupt officials! This so-called emperor is the one who should be eliminated the most!"
The moment the words were spoken, it was as if a monstrous wave had been unleashed on an already turbulent surface!
The crowd's faces contorted with rage as they roared, "That damned emperor! With the Great Wall in her hands, it's bound to fall apart!"
"The Tu Yuan people are hateful! This dog emperor is a traitor who aids and abets evil!"
Zhang Ye's eyes were practically spitting fire as he roared:
"How can such a person sit on the throne and rule over all people!"
"Since the prince entered Beiliang, he first killed bandits and then fought against the Hu cavalry, thus eliminating all troubles in Beiliang!"
"Furthermore, Your Highness has reduced taxes, so Beiliang will surely be a vibrant place where everyone can live and work in peace and contentment!"
"Your Highness loves the people like his own children. With such virtue, isn't he far better than that dog emperor!"
As soon as he finished speaking, shouts erupted from the crowd:
"Well said! This dog emperor is incompetent and foolish; he should abdicate and hand over the throne to a more worthy successor!"
"Make her abdicate!!!"
"Let the prince go up!"
