Looking at the imperial guards rushing out, they were well-armored, and the bright silver armor looked like it was coated with a layer of warm yellow paint in the twilight.
The yellow and white colors look very much like the yellow and white paper money used for tomb sweeping.
The combination of the New City Legion's rattling and rumbling sounds sent them to where they needed to go in no time.
Only bodies were left lying on the ground.
When the New City Legion attacked the Imperial City, they heard loud explosions outside the city, and the palace was already in chaos.
Those palace servants who could escape fled, and those who could not escape hid.
When the army arrived at the imperial palace.
The palace was already quiet.
In the hall, only Yang Hongye was left sitting alone on the dragon throne, with a personal eunuch beside him.
There was no one else in sight.
Jiang Hai, Yang Hongjin and others stepped into the hall and looked at him.
Yang Hongye laughed like a madman.
This laughter contained too many emotions, the most common of which was unwillingness.
Jiang Hai pulled over a stool and sat down casually.
He was just going to sit back and watch what happened next, since it wasn't his turn to take the stage anyway.
Avoid getting involved if you can.
Wenzhi, Qin Bai and other members of the Xincheng Army all stood beside Jiang Hai.
"Hey, Brother Zhi, don't block my view."
"oh."
Upon hearing this, Wenzhi took a step back. He was a bit too big and blocked Jiang Hai and the others from eating the melon.
Following Yang Hongjin were generals including Guo Hao.
Yuchi Zhong stayed outside the city to deal with the surrendered troops and did not come in.
Yang Hongjin stared at Yang Hongye who was sitting in his seat, his eyes full of anger.
It seemed that the anger that had been accumulating since the receipt of the old emperor's will until now seemed to want to devour it.
Yang Hongye, on the other hand, was minding his own business. He touched the dragon chair under his seat and took the initiative to speak.
"Sixth Brother, I never thought you'd be so talented. You even said you wouldn't fight for the throne.
It’s all a fucking lie, a fucking lie.”
"You brought this upon yourself. What right do you have to say this? It's a fact, but have you ever thought about letting my father and me go?
It's because you're too ruthless." Yang Hongjin's words were full of accusations against the third brother.
Hearing this, Yang Hongye laughed even more crazily.
"Hahahaha, absolutely, what's absolutely wrong? If it weren't for that old immortal who delayed appointing a crown prince and refused to give up the position, would I have to do this?
Look at the world he has managed. He is living in poverty and has no ability but still occupies this position. He doesn't know how to step down and let others take over.
Who can be blamed for this?”
Yang Hongye expressed his emotions as if he was very capable and could manage Darong very well.
Jiang Hai shook his head as he listened. This guy is just an idealist, a great man in thought but a dwarf in action.
At this time, Yang Hongjin followed his words and refuted,
"Relinquish the throne and let the wise prevail? Where do you get the courage to call yourself a wise man?
As far as I know, during this year, while you sent troops to the south, you also did not forget to enjoy the imperial power and even selected concubines several times.
You have no political achievements, but you are more interested in having fun. What's the point of building a royal forest garden? You should first let the people of Darong have enough food to eat before doing these things."
Yang Hongjin's words left him speechless, and he couldn't refute even if he wanted to.
The facts are there.
After accepting the surrendered troops, he naturally understood what Yang Hongye had done in the palace.
These questions were asked from some surrendered generals.
At this time, Yang Hongjin also laughed, but his laughter was full of sarcasm towards him.
Then he said, "Capture him and wait for his punishment."
The accompanying generals came out one after another and went to capture Yang Hongye.
The eunuch accompanying Yang Hongye stood up and said,
"Who dares?"
With a look of righteousness, this eunuch also looks like a martial artist.
Jiang Hai scratched his ear and said, "Bang."
Wenzhi fired several shots at him without saying a word.
Then things developed according to the script and Yang Hongye was arrested.
Yang Hongjin did not kill him directly because he wanted to make his crimes known to the world and then execute him in public.
The matter of the palace was settled, and the Northern Expedition successfully completed its assigned mission.
Jiang Hai stood up and walked around the magnificent hall with great interest.
Although he had been to the capital, he had never been inside the imperial palace.
The carvings of dragons and paintings of phoenixes are indeed very exquisite and grand.
However, Young Master Jiang was not interested in these things. He patted the dragon chair and said,
"Sixth brother, come and sit here."
Upon hearing this, Yang Hongjin walked over and Jiang Hai pulled him to sit on the dragon throne.
"How is it? Do you feel instantly more powerful?"
"That's about it. I don't know why the third brother is so obsessed with this position." Yang Hongjin shook his head.
He is actually a lazy person by nature. If his good father had not given him that imperial edict, he would have just wanted to be like Jiang Hai and be the King of Yue peacefully.
Of course, governing a state is much easier than governing the entire Dayong.
It was the old emperor's last move that forced him to fight to the death with the third brother.
Jiang Hai came around from behind the dragon throne, sat with him, and also shook his head.
"Damn, this chair isn't comfortable either. It's hard and there's no place to lean on. It's not as good as my sofa."
"Sofa?" Yang Hongjin had never heard of this term.
"You can think of it as a big, comfortable chair where you can sit or lie down," Jiang Hai said.
Looking down at the palace hall, imagining the court session, Jiang Hai grinned.
"Haha, Lao Liu, you'll have to come here to work every day from now on. It's fun just thinking about it."
"It's not fun at all. I used to see my father getting up early and going to bed late all day, so I thought the throne wouldn't be easy to sit on.
Well, let’s not talk about this, let’s talk about the sofa.”
Yang Hongjin said this and looked at Jiang Hai, obviously wanting to try it with him.
"No problem, I'll get some for you later." Jiang Hai agreed and stood up.
"Things here are almost done. You handle the rest. I have to go back to Southern Xinjiang."
"Are you leaving so soon? Why don't you wait until the court is sorted out before returning?"
Yang Hongjin didn't expect Jiang Hai to be ready to run away so soon, and he wanted to discuss with him the future changes in the court.
"No, I'll lend you my martial arts for two months. Master Liu, you can decide for yourself whether you can ask him to help you take care of it. You can handle the rest on your own."
Jiang Hai refused, patted his butt, and walked out of the hall.
Wenzhi, Qin Bai and some generals of the Xincheng Legion followed Jiang Hai out.
Outside the hall, the New City Legion was waiting in line.
Inside the hall, Yang Hongjin was stunned for a moment, then quickly walked out and followed.
"Brother-in-law, when do we leave?"
"I'll leave tomorrow."
"What are your plans for the future?"
"I don't have any plans, I'm just going to go home and mess around."
"That..." Yang Hongjin hesitated and didn't finish his words.
I want to keep Jiang Hai in the capital, but I feel it is unlikely.
Although Jiang Hai looks unremarkable, in Yang Hongjin's heart, he is indeed a talented person.
Just based on the soldiers he led and their performance during the construction of Yuezhou, Yang Hongjin felt that they were unique.
