Chapter 540 Palace Changes Part 2
"Pah pah pah... Prince Li is really capable."
Suddenly there was a sound of applause and a teasing voice.
Everyone on the stage looked at the person walking towards the stage with caution.
A man was surrounded by a group of men in black and walked towards Murong Li and the others. He stopped when they were a certain distance away and the two sides confronted each other.
The ministers in the hall and the guests from all directions became nervous instantly when they saw the palace coup and saw that they were on the verge of a fight.
When a minister was about to rush up and scold the man, a large number of armored soldiers suddenly rushed in from the four doors of the hall, pointing spears at them.
No one dared to move. Whoever dared to show up at this time would die.
Murong Li looked at Prince Huai'an calmly and said calmly, "Uncle Huang is really so impatient. I thought he would wait until I ascended the throne before he took action."
Prince Huai'an snorted coldly and looked at the emperor. He said in a cold voice: "My royal brother is so eager to abdicate the throne to your son, but your son may not be able to enjoy it. My royal brother might as well pass the throne to my royal brother. My royal brother will definitely protect the Murong family's territory."
The emperor was not afraid at all. He had long anticipated such a situation today, but he did not expect that it would be King Huai'an who jumped out.
In the eyes of the world, he has always been law-abiding and lived like an invisible man, but unexpectedly, someone came out first to claim his throne.
It’s true that you can’t judge a book by its cover.
The emperor sneered, "You bold and rebellious son, you have no shame. You talk about plotting to usurp the throne so high-soundingly, and you still want me to give you the throne? Dream on. If you want to plot to usurp the throne, you will kill me and my son today.
Even if you get the throne, you will still be despised by the world."
Prince Huai'an's face darkened. He said, "Don't worry about that, my brother. As long as I kill you, who cares how I got the throne? After being emperor for so many years, don't you know that victors are kings and losers are bandits? History is always written by the victors. From now on, I will write it however I want."
Back then, the Murong family had seized the kingdom from the Niu family. He didn't seize it from someone else's family. It was the Murong family's own kingdom. Anyone who dared to come out and threaten him would be killed.
Murong Lishi raised his hand to signal the emperor: "Father, there is no need to say that to him."
King Huai'an was right. The victors are kings and the losers are bandits. History is written by the victors. There is no need to waste time talking to him. It is useless to say more. Today, their goal is to find out more people and catch them all in one fell swoop.
It's very annoying to be on guard against someone trying to usurp power every day.
He glanced at everyone in the hall and asked, "Who among you still wants the throne? Come and take it together. I'm afraid you won't have a chance later.
This is a great opportunity. No matter who gets the throne today, those of you who want it will definitely not have a good ending. Why not give it a try?
Everyone in the hall was stunned by what Murong Li said. Could the throne be obtained just like that?
The ministers all looked at each other, but everyone shook their heads. They were all ministers, and no one had the guts to try to seize the throne.
What Prince Li meant by this was probably to mislead those who had rebellious intentions. They were all loyal ministers and definitely did not have such thoughts.
Even if there is, who would dare to actually go up there?
When the royal family members saw King Huai'an taking action, everyone had different expressions. Those who had originally had that idea no longer had any thoughts. Their strength was no match for King Huai'an. Some of them were even supporters of King Huai'an, so why did they go up? Were they looking for death?
The envoys from the three kingdoms were watching the show to see whether Murong Li could ascend to the throne as emperor today.
Especially the Crown Prince of Nanfeng Kingdom, he hoped that Murong Li would fail so that he could take Su Yue away.
Seeing her wearing the phoenix robe, she looked absolutely beautiful and priceless, as if she was born to wear it.
He can afford the phoenix robe.
So he secretly gave a look to the guards around him.
The guard understood his thoughts and nodded slightly, then looked at Su Yue who was sitting on the stage with a calm expression.
Among the major forces that were invited, some people thought that they would help whoever was stronger, and maybe they could even get the credit of following the leader, so they just waited and watched.
Only the people from the four major families looked as ugly as if they had eaten a fly. Their purpose was immediately made clear by Murong Li.
Now they are in a situation where they are neither up nor down, being roasted on the fire. They don't know what Murong Li means, but if King Huai'an succeeds, they will have no chance of survival and will not have a good ending.
Even if King Huai'an lost, Murong Li would not forgive them.
The head of the Zhao family made up his mind. It was death either way, so he decided to give it a try as Murong Li said.
So he gestured to the representatives of the other three families, then bravely flew onto the stage, standing between Murong Li and Prince Huai'an, forming a triangle. He bowed to the two and said, "The throne belongs to the capable. Since Prince Li has invited us, we will not hesitate."
After Patriarch Zhao finished speaking, Patriarch Zhang and Patriarch Li came up and stood beside Patriarch Zhao, indicating that they would also participate.
What surprised everyone was that no one from the Lin family came up.
Patriarch Zhao turned around and glanced at Fourth Master Lin, his eyes dark and unclear.
Fourth Master Lin immediately lowered his head and cursed the three Zhao families in his heart for being blinded by power.
Is it possible that Murong Li could ask people to go up and compete with him for the throne in public? What a bunch of idiots! They can catch all those who want to usurp the throne without using any soldiers.
Others may not know Murong Li's abilities, but his Lin family knows them well. Look, all these people will die today.
"Hahaha, today's scene is really lively, how can we miss this gang leader."
Suddenly, two more people flew out from the hall, chose a place to stand, and bowed to everyone present. They didn't look like they were here to fight for the throne, but rather to make friends through martial arts.
The tense atmosphere suddenly became less tense.
Everyone looked at this strange scene, and today's events could be recorded in history.
General Wei's face turned dark when he saw this man. He had spent so much manpower but failed to find this person, and he was allowed to sneak into the palace. He looked at Murong Li nervously and found that he seemed to be fine.
Almost everyone present knew Gang Leader Ma, and they were surprised that he had no memory and came back again.
"Huh?"
Wasn't that man thrown into the Heavenly Prison and escaped? How dare he come here to die?
Someone from the Ministry of War saw him and was surprised, saying that this person had escaped and was not caught, and the people from the Ministry of War had even been punished.
Murong Li took a look at Gang Leader Ma and knew that he was very cunning and even the Heavenly Prison could not hold him. He was quite curious about how Gang Leader Ma got out of the Heavenly Prison?
Seeing that everyone who was supposed to come had arrived, Murong Li turned around and said to General Wei, "Go and bring chairs over for Father and Yue'er, and let them sit and watch.
Also, you will take your men to protect the civil and military officials and guests below."
