"Whether he was sincerely seeking marriage or plotting to marry Shangguan Rui'an, my son succeeded, which proves that he is the chosen one, the true prince of Beiyi Jiangshan!"
Empress Dowager Du stared at the Dongfang seal with disdain in her eyes. "Although you were born into noble family and were the eldest son of the late emperor, you were born into a poor family and were forced to live among the common people at an early age. Over twenty years ago, you didn't use your fame to recognize the late emperor and take back everything that belonged to you! Instead, your mind was filled with romantic feelings. With no power or influence, how could you protect the one you loved?! The loss of your beloved is your own fault, your incompetence!"
Dongfang Yinzhang felt annoyed. He really failed to protect the person he loved and was quite incompetent.
Shangguan Lan's anger, which had been suppressed by Xigua, came out again when she heard these words.
"Empress Dowager Du, do you believe that I will give you another slap in the face?!" Shangguan Lan didn't expect that Empress Dowager Du would be so ignorant of her own life!
The current situation is not favorable for them, mother and son, yet they are still so aggressive. Do they want to die quickly?!
"Are you so angry because of shame? Am I wrong? He has a good family background, but he didn't strive for it. His mind is full of romantic thoughts. He wants to live an ordinary life. Do you think it's possible? Since ancient times, the struggle for succession has been very brutal. His status is destined to make it impossible for him to live an ordinary life. Even if he is far away in the martial arts world, he will not be able to escape it. Being assassinated is inevitable!"
"So this is the reason why you two, mother and son, are persecuting the Eastern Seal. You are truly shameless!"
"Grandma, calm down." Su Xingyi fed Shangguan Lan a half-fleshed watermelon. "It's not worth getting yourself hurt by anger. Although Master didn't recognize the late emperor over 20 years ago, it's not too late now!"
Shangguan Yu frowned. What did his nephew mean?
"Ayi is right." The old virtuous king looked at Queen Mother Du with a sullen face. "Now that Yulin is back, then as you wish, I will help Yulin get back everything that belongs to him!"
Emperor Qianyuan's face darkened. What was he talking about? Why should he help Feng Yulin?
"Old Wise King!" Empress Dowager Du was instantly enraged. "Are you planning to rebel and become a traitor? Don't forget that the late emperor asked you to assist Yanzhi well. He became emperor because of the late emperor's personal decree, making him the legitimate emperor! He, Feng Yulin, didn't become emperor just because he was the eldest son!"
"The late emperor asked me to assist Yanzhi and help him secure his throne, and I have done so! But before his death, the late emperor issued a secret decree for me to find Yulin, regardless of life or death! If Yulin is no longer alive, the late emperor ordered me to move Yulin's coffin to the imperial mausoleum and announce it to the world. If Yulin is still alive, and Yanzhi's moral character is lacking, and his offspring are incompetent, then I will pull him down from the throne and help Yulin ascend the throne!"
"Bang!" Empress Dowager Du slammed the table. "You are planning a rebellion!"
Soon, hundreds of imperial guards quickly surrounded the Qinzheng Hall!
Su Ning'an wanted to go over to block it, but was pulled back by Xiao Lingyu.
There are so many people in this room. How can An Ge'er come out?
The old wise king was the god of war back then and fought alongside my grandfather. He should have foreseen today's scene and he must have been prepared!
"I am the prince of Beiyi! I hold military power..."
Although Emperor Qianyuan had reclaimed most of his military power for various reasons over the past twenty years, the entire capital camp still had to obey him. "If I wanted to rebel, why would I have to wait until now? I am only acting according to the late emperor's secret orders!"
"Do you think the court officials and the people of the world will support the eldest son of the late emperor, who has been living among the people for over forty years? Don't forget that Yanzhi has been a rare wise ruler for over twenty years, diligently governing the country. He has been deeply loved by the people for these twenty years. Do you want to make an enemy of the people of the world?"
Empress Dowager Du sneered, "...And what you said about your son being useless is even more nonsense. Yu'er is excellent in all aspects, and you admire and recognize him very much."
The old virtuous king nodded. "Yu'er is indeed excellent, but he is now seriously ill and weak. He has no energy to handle state affairs. Before Yulin was found, Yu'er was indeed the only choice for the crown prince. But now he has no qualifications at all. Only Feng Yulin, the eldest son of the late emperor, is qualified!"
"I see that you are determined to rebel, but you should consider whether you can leave the Qinzheng Palace today!"
After saying these harsh words, Duke Du dispatched three hundred imperial guards, and the high walls were filled with archers armed with bows and crossbows, surrounding the entire Qinzheng Hall tightly!
"Old and virtuous king, you are so bold! You dare to force the palace to rebel!" Duke Du entered the hall with a sullen face. "Today, I will enforce justice on behalf of Heaven and apprehend you, this traitor!"
Duke Du quickly glanced at Su Xingyi, and a flash of shock passed through his eyes.
I really didn't expect that this child was clearly dead and buried, but he is still alive. Damn, he is even more handsome than Yu'er!
"How dare you, a mere guard, look directly at the Emperor!"
Dongfang Yinzhang turned around and looked at him, "Your Highness is Feng Yanzhi's elder brother, why don't you dare look him in the eye?"
"You, Your Majesty..." Duke Du was so frightened when he saw a face that looked exactly like the late emperor that his legs started shaking and he was about to kneel down.
"Brother, take a good look at who he is." When Empress Dowager Du saw that he was about to kneel down, she rolled her eyes at him, saying that he was such a loser!
Duke Du then realized that although the person before him resembled the late emperor, he looked much younger. "Who are you?"
"He is His Highness Yulin, the eldest son of the late emperor. Why don't you meet His Highness Yulin?"
Duke Du's legs felt like they were filled with lead as he stood there motionless. "Are you sure he's the late emperor's eldest son? What proof do you have?"
The old virtuous king was too lazy to pay attention to him. "The emperor and the queen mother have both recognized him, so he must be His Highness Yulin! I can't just find someone to confuse the royal bloodline!"
Duke Du glanced at Empress Dowager Du, and seeing that she did not refute him, he couldn't help but feel a little blamed.
Even if he is Feng Yulin, he cannot admit it!
Duke Du bowed slightly and said, "Greetings, His Highness Yulin."
Duke Du didn't wait for Dongfang Yinzhang to excuse him from the formalities. He straightened up and turned to the old virtuous king, saying, "If you insist on forcing the palace to rebel today, don't blame the sword for being blind!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the imperial guards and archers outside were ready to go, waiting for Duke Du's order!
"Haha..." The old wise king laughed loudly. "I never fight a battle I'm not sure of. Look outside again!"
Everyone looked outside the hall and saw that the archers on the high wall were being kidnapped by a group of soldiers!
Duke Du's heart was pounding. He hadn't noticed these soldiers at all just now. Where did they come from?
Before Duke Du could figure out what was going on, he heard the palace servants outside shouting urgently, "Your Majesty, this is bad! The palace has been surrounded by soldiers from the Jingji camp!"
Emperor Qianyuan felt a little flustered, but he quickly calmed down!
He should have completely seized the military power from the old wise king!
There would not be the incident of the old wise king forcing the emperor to abdicate and rebelling today.
He was careless and trusted the old wise king too much!
I thought I was just revealing Su Xingyi's identity. He was originally his son, so after a few stalemates, he would naturally recognize him!
But who would have thought that today he would come with an oriental seal!
This was something he had never expected!
