Yu Huatian led some of the surrendered troops of the Huben Camp to carry out the emperor's orders with lightning speed.
Yu Huatian knew everything that was going on inside the palace.
At the moment, the top priority is the "decapitation operation" - the Empress Dowager's Yong'an Palace.
Yu Huatian sent most of his troops to surround Yong'an Palace first.
Beforehand, Yu Huatian had already figured out the secret agents planted in the palace by Cui Cen, Wang Jin and others.
In order to prevent Wang Jin from learning the news inside the palace, Yu Huatian also sent some people to eliminate these spies while surrounding Yong'an Palace.
In Yong'an Palace, the Queen Mother was about to take a nap.
Zhang An, the trusted eunuch, rushed in. The Queen Mother was displeased by this. Before she could scold him, she heard him say:
"Empress Dowager! A team of Tiger Guards has arrived and surrounded Yong'an Palace!"
Before Zhang An finished speaking, there was a burst of noise outside.
"What's going on? Who dares to be so presumptuous as to act wildly here?!"
The empress dowager, who was sitting on the couch in elegant demeanor, frowned and asked coldly.
Zhang An, who was kneeling on the ground, said, "Your Majesty, it was a eunuch named Yu Huatian. He said he was following the emperor's orders."
The Queen Mother was surprised, then furious, and then she laughed in anger.
"The Emperor's order? I don't know when the Emperor became so bold!"
Since the emperor ascended the throne, not only did he not dare to disobey her, he was even fearful, respectful and cautious when facing her.
Yet today they dared to send people to surround her Yong'an Palace?!
Did he feel that he had grown too powerful, or was he just too bold?
Zhang An also felt that the emperor's behavior today was simply courting death.
It would be so much better to be a puppet emperor peacefully, why do you have to seek death now?
"Your Highness usually treats the Emperor with kindness, but now he doesn't take you seriously. Those people are behaving so recklessly, I'm afraid Zhang Quan outside won't be able to stop them for long."
The Queen Mother had a sinister look on her face, suppressing her anger as she said in a cold voice, "Zhang An, go out and tell them to tell the Emperor to get out of here right now!
If he can't give a reasonable explanation, don't blame me for not caring about the relationship between mother and son!"
The emperor's behavior has been a little abnormal these two days.
He made small quarrels among the concubines in his harem, but the empress dowager didn't bother to pay attention.
But now he is targeting her?
It seems that the emperor has been too indulged during this period, which has made him lose his mind!
…
In Yong'an Palace, the eunuchs and palace maids were used to abusing their power because they had the support of the Empress Dowager.
The emperor is weak, and even the palace maids in Yong'an Palace have little respect for him.
Now that the palace gate was suddenly surrounded, they were not only not afraid, but also scolded Yu Huatian.
Another eunuch trusted by the Queen Mother, Zhang Quan, pointed at Yu Huatian and scolded him harshly:
"You bunch of dogs! Even the Emperor respects the Empress Dowager, yet you dare to act wild here?! Are you tired of living..."
Before he could finish his words, a sword flashed by and Zhang Quanren's skull rolled down.
Scarlet blood splattered all over Zhang and the eunuchs who were shouting and cursing.
Yu Huatian sheathed his sword expressionlessly, narrowed his eyes and said coldly:
"Those who disobey my order will be killed!"
As soon as Yu Huatian finished speaking, two guards drew their swords and quickly killed the eunuch who was shouting along with Zhang Quan.
Zhang An came out with the Empress Dowager's decree in a rage, but happened to see this scene.
The blood gushing out like a stream even splashed onto his face from a distance.
Zhang An's legs went weak and he almost lost his balance, his face turning pale.
Zhang Quan and he were both high-ranking eunuchs in Yong'an Palace. Who in the palace didn't know that they were the Empress Dowager's confidants?
But now Yu Huatian killed Zhang Quan without blinking an eye!
They were not afraid at all of the palace maids in Yong'an Palace and killed them all the same!
Zhang An turned back in panic and told the empress dowager what was happening outside.
The Queen Mother's face changed slightly when she heard this. She was furious and uneasy at the same time, and she could no longer sit still.
When he came out, he saw blood all over the ground at the palace gate, with the bodies of several palace maids and eunuchs lying in a mess.
Yu Huatian stood with a sword in his hand, his feminine and handsome face cold and murderous.
When he saw the Queen Mother come out, there was no fluctuation on his face.
The Queen Mother's face turned pale and blue, and she shouted sternly, "How dare you!"
Yu Huatian spoke in a businesslike tone, neither humble nor servile:
"Empress Dowager, I am acting on the Emperor's orders. These servants dare to disobey His Majesty's will and shall be punished!"
After all, she was the authoritarian empress dowager who was behind the scenes and had the support of the Cui family. Even though she was frightened when she saw the scene of blood splattering at the palace gate, she quickly calmed down.
She smiled coldly, her eyes cold and sharp: "The emperor has great power! Has he forgotten who the owner of Yong'an Palace is?!"
Not to mention Yong'an Palace, she is the owner of the entire palace now!
Without her support, how could the prince have ascended to the throne?
She was the one who gave him wealth and glory, and now that he's grown strong, he wants to rebel?!
Since he doesn't cherish his current glory, she doesn't mind changing an emperor!
His brother has absolute power in the court, and with his own status, it would be easy for him to replace the emperor!
Zhang An supported the empress dowager and spoke up for his master.
"The Empress Dowager is the Emperor's mother, and the Emperor should respect and be filial to her! Yet, she now allows her slaves to run wild in the Empress Dowager's chambers, abuses private punishment, and kills palace maids.
This is a violation of filial piety! Aren't you afraid that this will get to the court and the emperor will be reprimanded by all the civil and military officials?
Now with the empress dowager by his side, Zhang An, who was relying on the power of others to bully others, was no longer afraid of Yu Huatian and others.
Yu Huatian raised his eyes coldly, scanning the people in Yong'an Palace, and said in a sonorous and powerful voice:
"Your Majesty is the Supreme Ruler, the common ruler of the world. His will is the will of heaven. Who dares to be dissatisfied? Who dares not to obey?!"
