The number of people in Xian Wang’s faction is increasing, and it is not easy for the emperor to drag them all down and execute them!
Even if the situation is urgent, we cannot dig our own graves!
Among them are the Minister of the Central Foundation, the Chief Censor, the Right Prime Minister, and so on!
Only those sent by the emperor were few in number, and they began to hesitate and prepare to defect!
After all, it doesn't matter which emperor you listen to. Now that the Thirteenth Prince is about to abdicate, it is a foregone conclusion.
Besides, he is not plotting to usurp the throne. The Thirteenth Prince is a legitimate member of the royal family and has every right to do so!
And according to the battle report, the Thirteenth Prince Dai Yixuan, Prince Xian, marched straight to the capital without spending many soldiers!
This is one of the reasons why many ministers are convinced!
What kind of public opinion is this?
Secondly, the current emperor's laxity and neglect of government affairs have made many sincere ministers suspicious and resentful!
I am even more fed up with some ministers who only know how to flatter!
Lord Li was the primary supporter of the Emperor's faction. Seeing so many ministers supporting Prince Xian, he turned pale for a moment and shouted,
"How dare you! You are so stubborn! Do you really want to join forces with the ambitious Prince Xian to force the emperor to abdicate?"
"Everyone, drag them all out and behead them first!"
The emperor was trembling on the dragon throne, not knowing what to do, and Lord Li spoke first.
The faces of the left and right prime ministers turned black. The right prime minister bowed to the emperor and said coldly,
"Lord Li is so eager for quick success and instant benefits that he even issues decrees on behalf of His Majesty. What crime should he be punished for?"
Lord Li, "You! You are totally unreasonable!"
Right Prime Minister, "You are the unreasonable one, aren't you? Everyone, you all saw today that General Tan Sihe left the city and didn't attend the court. This is a clear example!"
"If anything happens to us, who will manage the affairs of state? Who will come to the emperor to make reports?"
"With so many people, Lord Li wants to deal with them on behalf of His Majesty?"
The Right Prime Minister walked straight in front of Lord Li with his imposing manner and the pale old man's posture, which made Li Jinchun so angry that he took two steps back and was speechless!
Li Jinchun had no choice but to report to the emperor, "Your Majesty! Please issue an order to deal with these traitors!"
"Your Majesty! Hurry!"
The emperor was already powerless, as his thirteenth brother was no longer the little prince he once was so easy to control.
But it is His Royal Highness Prince Xian who has great power in the court.
He already controls hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers and generals at the border, and even General Tan Sihe wants to follow him!
The emperor had already given up resistance in his heart.
It’s better to hand it over directly. After all, Thirteenth Brother’s abilities are obvious to all.
In terms of identity, they are also an orthodox royal family, with full legitimacy. Now they are even approaching the outskirts of the capital, which is what the people want!
It's also the emperor's own fault. In his later years, he has become somewhat powerless and likes to listen to slander.
Plus, with such a powerful half-brother, I have to be nervous!
The position is precarious and will eventually change hands.
It’s a pity that the Crown Prince who has been in the Eastern Palace for more than ten years has to be replaced. Fortunately, they are all from the Dai family.
"Your Majesty!"
Lord Li became anxious and knelt down.
Upon seeing this, the emperor glanced at his ministers, as well as some of the ministers who always flattered him and disrupted his judgment, especially Lord Li.
The emperor looked at Lord Li, he was the most excited!
If he can't get the son-in-law, Prince Xian, he would like to kill him as soon as possible!
The emperor didn't have much objection, but now Lord Li was undoubtedly ignorant and forced himself to become the enemy of the world!
"My dear Li, please stop talking. I have my own plans." The emperor said in a solemn tone.
"Your Majesty! Prince Xian is forcing the emperor to abdicate and has his troops at the gates of the city. You cannot be merciful, Your Majesty!"
"I, your humble servant, do not want my daughter to marry him. How can he, who does not know the rules and forced his way into the palace, be able to take on such a great responsibility?"
The people of Xian Wang's faction have already seen that the emperor is trying to be tolerant.
But Li Jinchun couldn't see it, and was very anxious for an answer on how to send troops to deal with King Xian!
Unfortunately, Li Jinchun was only a reserve civil servant who could only handle trivial matters of court officials. As for the power of military strategists, he had no idea of the seriousness of Prince Xian's forcing abdication!
Li Jinchun was just hoping that the emperor would show his ability and skill, and use the ancestors of the previous emperor to put pressure on Prince Xian, and maybe there would be room for him to turn around!
Unexpectedly, the emperor closed his eyes, opened them again, and said in a cold tone,
"That's it. Open the city gates and don't let the people of the capital get frightened. Let's welcome King Xian back to the capital!"
Li Jinchun shouted, "Your Majesty! You must not do this, Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
The emperor waved his hand, stood up and let the eunuch help him leave the court.
Another eunuch shouted, "Withdraw from the court!"
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
Li Jinchun was still shouting, but his way was blocked by the guards on both sides of the court who raised their spears.
The Right Prime Minister and others were secretly delighted in their hearts. They had already cooperated with King Xian from inside and outside. This world was about to change!
With this increasingly incompetent emperor, there is no room for advancement at all!
If everyone has to learn how to flatter, what’s the point?
The people of this world were so easily conquered by King Xian. What does this mean?
The current emperor has lost the support of the people!
When there is no cure, no one can help!
This temporary turmoil caused panic among the people in the capital. Everyone heard that King Xian was about to arrive. Many people wanted to go out of the city to take a look, but they were afraid that King Xian's soldiers would be blind!
After all, the capital is under the emperor's jurisdiction and it is easiest to hypnotize people and say that the outside world has been devastated by King Xian!
There are also rumors that King Xian did not harm the people of each city, as well as officials such as the prefect, and treated them normally, and no major wars occurred!
As a result, no refugees appeared.
But the capital city was tightly closed, forcing the people in the city to become suspicious!
As soon as the imperial edict came out, the people's anxious hearts finally relaxed!
"Oh my god! That's the King of Strings, he has such a great reputation!"
"Wow! A great hero who once pacified the border! If Prince Xian takes a concubine, our daughter will be willing to serve him like a slave!"
"You're dreaming! I heard that Prince Xian has already married and had children in Lucheng, and even has a prince!"
"Yes, yes! It has been decided long ago. Prince Xian has not taken any concubines, only Princess Xian!"
"That's incredible! Even His Majesty has issued an order to open the city gates. This truly means a change of power is imminent."
"I heard that the people's support is strong, and it only happened half a year ago. How can it reach the capital so quickly?"
"Who says it's not? This is too fast. There aren't many casualties. It's all legitimate changes of ownership!"
"Since ancient times, the struggles between fathers and sons, and brothers for power have always been stained with blood. Now...
Victory without bloodshed!"
"The Xian King has a great reputation and is well-known. He has long been the popular choice!"
"I heard that the Princess Xian is the previously sensational Madam Guo, Yuan Xueyue!"
"Stop talking about Princess Xian. How many heads do you have?"
"Pah, pah, pah, it's my fault for talking too much!..."
Everyone was talking about it, chattering non-stop, but when it came to contacting Princess Xian, they knew to keep quiet!
After all, if Prince Xian were to ascend the throne, his wife would be the queen who rules the country.
