Song Yunhe narrowed his eyes slightly. Seeing that these people still refused to surrender, he said "OK" three times in a row, "OK, OK, OK. If that's the case, don't blame me for not giving you a chance."
A flare exploded in the sky above the Marquis' Mansion. Everyone's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition followed.
Soon, the people present heard the deafening shouts and screams coming from outside the Marquis's Mansion, and shrill screams came from all directions.
"Prince Jing, are you crazy?" The Minister of Rites pointed at Prince Jing and shouted angrily.
Lin Chong stepped forward, raised his sword and slashed the head of the Minister of Rites to the ground.
“Ahhhhhh!!!”
Screams of terror rang out from the women.
"Don't panic, the Imperial Guards will be here soon. As long as we unite and hold on for a while, we can capture the rebels." Emperor Rong Xian said.
Lin Chong smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid your guards won't be able to make it."
Noticing that everyone was ready to surrender, Emperor Rong Xian immediately retorted, "Don't listen to his nonsense, let's fight our way out together."
Once everyone on the field submits to Prince Jing, he will have no way out.
The only thing he can do now is to gather everyone's strength and fight against it. Then he will have a chance to escape. As for the life and death of others, he can't care so much.
The King of Qin then said, "Let's fight together."
However, few people responded, and many court officials knelt down and said, "We are willing to serve the prince."
Emperor Rongxian looked at the ministers who had rebelled so quickly, and his eyes turned red with anger. "You traitors, aren't you afraid that you will be despised by future generations after your death and be infamous for eternity?"
"Shut up, you are a tyrant, you should have abdicated long ago. Now that a wise ruler has taken over, it is a blessing for Dayong."
"You are nothing but a dog raised by the Jiang family. How can such a cowardly and incompetent monarch be worthy of our support? If you have self-knowledge, you should abdicate and let others take over."
…
Others also jumped out to accuse Emperor Rong Xian to show their loyalty.
Song Yunhe couldn't help laughing out loud when watching this scene. "Good, good, good. Anyone who knows the current situation can be spared from death. Anyone who is stubborn and unyielding will be killed without mercy."
More and more court officials surrendered.
Emperor Rongxian and Concubine Jiang looked pale, they never expected that the setup that was clearly designed to target Prince Jing would suddenly become a dead end for them.
They all prayed that the Imperial Guards would come to rescue the emperor, but the Imperial Guards who were supposed to be on standby were now all blocked in front of the Xuanwu Gate.
Duke Su and Su Xinyang stood in the front, blocking their way.
Commander Fu knew what it meant when he saw that Duke Su, who was not allowed to enter the capital without being summoned, actually appeared here.
Commander Fu looked at Duke Su with disappointment, "Duke Su, His Majesty trusted you so much, but you actually defected to Prince Jing and participated in the rebellion. If your Xie ancestors knew that you had become a traitor, I'm afraid they would die with regrets."
A figure walked out from behind Duke Su and came in front of Commander Fu.
"Commander Fu, do you still recognize me?"
Queen Chen walked up to the crowd and looked at them with dignified and sharp eyes.
Commander Fu narrowed his eyes, looked at it carefully, and widened his eyes in surprise, "Empress."
Empress Chen said, "It seems that Commander Fu has not forgotten me. This makes me very happy."
Commander Fu looked at Empress Chen, then at Duke Su, and his gaze fell on Su Xinyang again.
"My lady, you are not dead."
"I was lucky enough to survive. My child was also lucky enough to survive. It is the Emperor Rong Xian, to whom you are loyal, who is the real traitor."
"Madam, what do you mean?"
Su Guogong said, "Your Majesty, please let me talk to him."
He looked at Commander Fu, "Commander Fu, I believe you also know about the disappearance of the eldest prince thirty years ago..."
In front of Commander Fu and a group of guards behind him, Duke Su slowly recounted the conspiracy that took place more than thirty years ago.
Commander Fu and even the imperial guards behind him were stunned when they heard what he said, with their mouths slightly open and a look of disbelief on their faces.
After Duke Su finished speaking, Commander Fu took a long time to find his voice again, "Duke, you are not kidding, are you?"
"Commander Fu, you should know what kind of person I am. How could I joke with you about such a big thing?"
Su Xinyang spoke at the right time, "You want to see the evidence, I have it here."
Commander Fu waved his hand and said, "The Queen is here. I believe it."
The person sitting on the throne now looks neither like the late emperor nor like the Concubine Li back then.
Commander Fu is very smart. Today's matter has become a big deal. It is not so important to believe it or not. What is important is to stand in the right position so that you can have a future and continue to enjoy wealth and glory.
He knelt down decisively in front of Empress Chen, "I am willing to follow your majesty to restore order."
The other members of the Imperial Guard followed suit and knelt down to show their loyalty.
Since then, the imperial guards controlled by Emperor Rongxian no longer exist, and the royal army generals relied on by the Jiang family have been controlled by Prince Jing's people.
After taking control of Prince Jing's men, the people from the Dark Pavilion took action again and tied up Prince Jing's men. From then on, the Royal Army was controlled by the Dark Pavilion.
The Jiang family and Emperor Rong Xian had no reinforcements, so they had only one outcome when facing Prince Jing's attack.
At the same time, the garrison led by Lin Chong began to fight and plunder wealth according to the people on the list.
"These fence-sitters are all parasites of the Yong Dynasty. If they are not eliminated, they will eventually become a disaster." Su Xiaozhong stared at the powerful officials on the field who were easily influenced by the wind and had no backbone.
"Dad, don't worry, my people have already prepared a backup plan."
They had long been on guard against the possibility that Prince Jing would not take action, so they would force him to do so.
“Here I come.”
As he finished speaking, a group of blood-stained men rushed into the front hall. He shouted to the guests in the front hall: "Dead, all dead."
"They are slaughtering."
After the man shouted this, he fell straight down.
Those who had just surrendered were stunned, and many of them recognized that among the servants who rushed over there were people from their house.
Emperor Rong Xian saw that the momentum was turning in his favor, and he immediately said, "It's useless for you to surrender now. What he said now is just a temporary solution. Your fate will be the same as theirs, and you will all die."
The King of Qin then said: "If we fight together, we will survive."
"Yes, kill them."
It was unknown which side rushed out first and started fighting with Prince Jing's men, and others followed suit.
The scene suddenly became chaotic.
Song Yunhe didn't know how these people got in, but he didn't have time to think about it, so he immediately ordered Lin Chong to deal with them all.
"kill!"
"kill!"
"Kill them!"
“clang clang”…
The crisp sound of weapons colliding, accompanied by sparks of fire from friction, and shrill screams and wails instantly swept through the entire mansion.
The glamorous and powerful people were fleeing in a panic at this time.
