Suppressing his rage, Xiao Yuanshan stormed in and stood in the hall, loudly demanding, "What do you want? Are you uncomfortable sitting on this throne? Huh?!"
Zhao Yunqi smiled wryly, "This was indeed my fault."
Xiao Yuanshan sneered repeatedly, "You are the emperor, how could you be wrong? You should have forgotten the late emperor's instructions by now. In order to kill Qingluan, you have disregarded the overall situation of the world. You have gone mad, Zhao Yunqi."
Zhao Yunqi sat there in silence.
Xiao Yuanshan's roar echoed throughout the hall, "She is the princess's only thought, and the only hope of our Great Sheng. If she dies, the whole world will be buried with her. Zhao Yunqi, don't think that just because you've become emperor you're no longer the late emperor's subject!"
"Back then, when the princess left, we tolerated you because we didn't want Dasheng to be trampled by the barbarians. Now that everything has improved and Qingluan has become the popular choice, you, out of resentment, actually want to plunge Dasheng into danger. You have let down the late emperor, you are not worthy to be the emperor, and you are not worthy to be the ruler of all people!!"
"Remember this: if anything happens to Qingluan, you must immediately step down from the throne. If a despicable person can become emperor, why can't I?!"
After cursing, he turned and stormed off. As he passed Luo Mangong, who had lost his left arm, he slapped him across the face. "You ungrateful eunuch, get out of my way!"
Luo Mangong did not retaliate and took the slap.
Everyone knelt there, trembling, feeling like the sky was about to fall.
Xiao Yuanshan's reckless behavior was so terrifying that no one dared to stop him anymore.
[Yellow comment: Uh, so, was that Taishan ordered by Zha Zha Qi?]
Otherwise, Xiao Yuanshan wouldn't have cursed like that, and wouldn't have been so angry that he directly shouted the word "rebellion".
[Red comment: No, no, I suspect it's that so-called prodigy!]
[Green comment: No, if that's the case, could it be that the prodigy is... is Zha Zha Qi?!]
The three viewers from different dimensions fell silent, then shivered again. My God, this truth was too shocking.
Zhao Yunqi closed his eyes, watched Xiao Yuanshan leave, and then fell backward.
Fu Lu rushed in and screamed in fright, "Your Majesty—Help! Help! Help!"
The matter at Shengde Hall was not concealed at all, and Xiao Yuanshan's open remarks silenced all the officials in the court.
A censor wanted to write a memorial to criticize someone, but his colleagues suppressed it, saying, "Is he wrong? Since the Crown Prince has already been determined through the Gentlemen's Academy competition, then she is the Crown Prince. If something happens to the Crown Prince, the world will be in chaos..."
More importantly, without Xiao Zhixing, who could keep those people in Junziyuan in check?
Who can stand against the enemies in the North and South?
Not to mention the nearly one million soldiers of the Xiao family army, who might not even be able to be suppressed by Xiao Yuanshan.
And then there's the people's hearts. The news of Xiao Zhixing becoming the crown prince had just spread when it was said that many people were overjoyed and shouted "Long live the emperor!"
The people of the north, in particular, were eager for Xiao Zhixing to ascend the throne immediately.
Who knows, the emperor might really abdicate hastily; that madman Xiao Yuanshan is absolutely capable of forcing the emperor to abdicate.
Li Mansion.
Duke Li sighed, "Xiao Zhixing's appearance did not break the balance, but rather maintained it."
Li Jun's eyes flickered slightly, "If she... then no one else can go up?"
Duke Li looked at him intently, "Someone else can go up? Unless they get the support of Xiao's army, and the support of those behind her..."
It would be very difficult for anyone to rise to the top simply because they are a subject or the head of the Gentlemen's Academy.
Li Jun remained silent, the turmoil and excitement in her heart gradually subsiding.
Duke Li patted him and said, “My son, in this world, some people are destined to be the sun in the sky, and no one else can compare to them.”
Even if Xiao Zhixing is utterly useless and mediocre, her status still destined her to be noble and extraordinary.
Moreover, she did an excellent job, better than anyone expected.
Now, if this person, who is so highly regarded, were to have an accident, he couldn't even imagine how chaotic the world would become.
Li Jun suddenly asked, "Is it His Majesty or that demon who wants to kill her?"
Duke Li's eyelashes trembled slightly. "Is there a difference?"
Li Jun's eyes widened. "So? They really are the same..."
Duke Li's face turned ashen, and he shook his head without saying a word.
Li Jun was stunned, a chill rising from the soles of her feet.
Soon after, Xiao Yuanshan issued orders to all units: "Xiao Family Army, Southern Jiangsu Army, Heroine Army, and Northern Navy, listen to my command! Your lord has been harmed by treacherous people and is now in a coma. Except for those defending against the enemy, the rest of you shall lie in wait with your weapons at the ready, awaiting my orders!"
He openly incited everyone to prepare for rebellion, his anger reaching its peak.
This seems to confirm that Zhao Yunqi harmed Xiao Zhixing.
It turns out that the emperor had said he would make her the crown prince, but in reality, he was preparing to have her killed.
It is truly shameful.
If Xiao Zhixing were a bad person who made no contribution to the country, then her existence and that of Xiao Yuanshan would be considered traitors, and their rebellious slogans would surely have drawn the scorn of the world.
On the contrary, anyone with eyes can see what Xiao Zhixing has done over the years.
As a young girl, she fought on various fronts to expand the territory and defend her country. She loved the people like her own children and protected the borders and ensured their safety.
From north to south, how many people have benefited from her kindness and life-saving grace?
This man, who possessed both literary and martial virtues and was almost rightfully crowned the crown prince, was driven into a coma by the perpetrator.
The murderer was the emperor.
Then it's understandable that her subordinates rebelled.
At this point, there's no need to talk about loyalty to the emperor; the common people have their own judgment.
In short, it is beyond reproach that Xiao's army rebelled to vent their anger for the sake of the leader.
This is the will of the people.
Xiao Zhixing didn't wake up on the first day, and she still didn't wake up on the second, third, and fourth days.
The three northern barbarian kingdoms, the southern barbarians, and the southern nomads are stirring up trouble abroad.
Domestically, the Mu family army, the Xue family army, the Imperial Guards, and the Huo family army have not received any orders from the emperor.
Meanwhile, Xiao Zhixing's subordinates were all making urgent preparations.
