The generals were shocked and confused.
"Your Majesty, do you know what this thing is?" Yin Xi said in a low voice.
Yin Zhao's heart tightened, and he pretended to be confused: "Ninth brother, what...what is this?"
"Your Majesty!" Yin Xi sighed softly, his fingers stroking the bloody words, "This is the bloody edict from my father ordering me to go to the capital to fight the national crisis!"
As he said this, he calmly handed the imperial edict to Yin Zhao.
Yin Zhao took it, glanced at it, and was frightened and sweating profusely!
This edict was undoubtedly written by my father. It painfully recounted how Yin Zhao had an affair with Concubine Xiao, and then forced the emperor to abdicate and seize power, and imprisoned Emperor Yongchang. Every word was shocking.
As long as it exists, Yin Zhao will not be able to sleep.
Yin Zhao was already prepared for Yin Xi to dethrone him.
However, Yin Xi changed the subject and stared at Yin Zhao with burning eyes:
"Now that our nation is in crisis and the country is in jeopardy, if you and I, brothers, continue to harbor grievances over a will, wouldn't that only bring grief to our loved ones and joy to our enemies? This empire needs a united Yin family!"
As he spoke, under Yin Zhao's horrified gaze, Yin Xi grabbed both ends of the silk with both hands and exerted force suddenly!
"Sizzle—"
The silk was torn into two pieces.
"Your Majesty!"
Everyone in the hall exclaimed in surprise.
"Ninth brother! What are you doing..."
Yin Zhao also stood up suddenly, trembling all over.
Yin Xi casually threw the torn edict into the stove, stood up and straightened his clothes.
Then he slowly performed a standard ministerial salute towards Yin Zhao:
"Bygone! I, Prince Yinxi of Jin, will serve Your Majesty as my master and do my utmost to assist Your Majesty in restoring the country and reviving the glory of Dayin! Your Majesty, please prioritize the country and stand united with me... as a brother!"
All the Jin King's direct generals and other ministers present hurriedly followed suit and saluted:
"I... We pay our respects to His Majesty. Long live His Majesty!"
The sound was loud and clear, reaching the rooftop.
Yin Zhao looked at the imperial edict that was reduced to ashes in the furnace, and then looked at his ninth brother who was respectful but exuded invisible pressure. A huge feeling of powerlessness and bone-chilling fear gripped him.
He knew that although Yin Xi's drama destroyed the blood edict, it gained greater benefits and popular support.
But I have no choice.
From now on, he has become a puppet in the hands of his own brother.
He slowly sat back in his chair, his voice dry and weak, "Royal brother... please stand up. Everything... is as you say."
soon!
His Majesty the Emperor reorganized the court in Jinzhou, Hedong, and the news that Prince Jin was loyally protecting him spread far and wide.
Countless officials, scholars, and defeated soldiers who survived the Tartar's iron hoof and were lost and helpless, like drowning people grabbing driftwood, rushed to Hedong.
The power of King Jin expanded like a snowball.
