At this moment, Ruan Changtian felt a chill on his back. At this moment, he saw General Qin not far away, and tears instantly flowed down his face.
"General Qin, if you help me kill the traitor, I will make you king."
Ruan Changtian didn't dare to say whether others would rebel, but the Qin family had been loyal for generations, and no one would believe that General Qin would rebel.
General Qin looked coldly at Ruan Changtian standing in front of him with disheveled hair and a look of utter embarrassment.
"You tyrant king, you killed my son cruelly and even cruelly cut the baby out of her belly alive. How can a foolish and wicked person like you be worthy of the loyalty and bravery of my Qin family?"
Countless soldiers rushed into the imperial city. Ruan Changtian took the opportunity to escape through the secret passage. At this time, Wan Qianqian just recited a complicated spell, and Ruan Changtian felt as if his whole body was being bitten by thousands of ants and it was in unbearable pain.
Ruan Changtian spat out a mouthful of black blood, and his face aged rapidly. In a moment, he looked ten years older than before.
"You evil demon, who are you?"
At this moment, Ruan Changtian finally realized that the pills he had taken recently had been tampered with. It was not until Han Xiangxu took off the human skin mask on his face that Ruan Changtian spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground unconscious.
"He won't die now!"
Han Xiangxu kicked Ruan Changtian's body in disgust. Wan Qianqian curled her lips and smiled, "This tyrant has done so many evil things. How could I let him die so easily?"
After saying that, Wan Qianqian just clapped her hands lightly, and Ruan Changtian, who had been lying unconscious on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes wide and began to twitch on the ground.
"Ruan Changtian, you have killed so many innocent people. From today on, I will make you live a life worse than death."
The Han family won a great victory in the battle of the Imperial City. At this time, there were still diehards who supported Ruan Changtian and stood up to confront Han Haiyang.
"Prime Minister Han, you dare to usurp the throne. Without the emperor's personal authorization, you are not qualified to sit on that position."
At this time, Han Xiangxu hid in the dark and secretly took out a piece of talisman paper to create an illusion.
Suddenly, a five-clawed golden dragon rushed out from outside the door, circled over the hall for a circle, and then rushed directly towards Han Haiyang. In just a moment, the golden dragon disappeared.
Han Haiyang stood beside the dragon throne, surrounded by golden light.
"Your servants are here to pay their respects to our emperor. Long live the emperor!"
Zhang Gelao was so angry that his eyes widened. "How dare you use sorcery to confuse people? This world and this Daqi are the foundation laid by the late emperor of the Ruan family. How can you be taboo against it?"
At this time, a group of people who stood on the side of Zhang Ge Lao also jumped out and angrily accused Han Haiyang of being disloyal and unjust.
Han Haiyang stood on the high seat, neither humble nor arrogant, looking down at the few people below who refused to kneel, with an indifferent tone.
"Lord Zhang has always been loyal to the imperial power, but has he ever understood the suffering of the people? Doesn't Lord Zhang know that Ruan Changtian has been incompetent and unjust over the years, causing countless people to suffer?"
"Today, I will obey the will of heaven, kill the tyrant emperor, and bring peace to the millions of people in Daqi. What's wrong with that?"
Han Haiyang's words made some people shut up. Although they did not know much about the evil deeds done by Ruan Changtian, the court had continuously increased corvee and taxes over the years, and the people were suffering.
But they had submitted to the royal family and imperial power from the very beginning, and all this did not directly harm the interests of their aristocratic families.
Therefore, they did not care too much about Ruan Changtian's unreasonable rule.
Zhang Gelao snorted coldly: "Prime Minister Han, anyone can say nice things. Even if you sit in that position, you can guarantee that you will be worthy of the people and our ministers. Moreover, how dare we speculate about His Majesty based on your words alone?"
Several people also echoed: "If Prime Minister Han does not have solid evidence, we will never obey."
In the period of the Great Qi Dynasty when civil officials were valued more than military officials, many people had a natural awe for civil officials.
Even if Ruan Changtian did something against the will of heaven, he did not dare to do it openly, for fear that his image would be ruined by this group of literati.
In this regard, Han Haiyang did not intend to use force to convince this group of literati.
At this moment, General Qin walked in with Fang Hai.
"evidence"?
"I am the evidence!"
Everyone was stunned when they saw General Qin. If they remembered correctly, General Qin also helped in this rebellion.
At this moment, Lord Zhang looked at General Qin with an extremely contemptuous look, and he almost wanted to snort coldly through one nostril.
"General Qin, we used to respect you for your loyalty, but we never thought that you would help the traitor to do evil just for the petty profits he gave you."
"You are worthy of the late emperor's kindness!"
General Qin snorted coldly and was about to speak, but Fang Haiqiang spoke first.
"Don't be angry, father-in-law. Leave the rest to me."
Lord Zhang looked at Fang Hai in front of him. He was just a young boy, so he wanted to see what he could say in order to curry favor with the Han family and rebel.
Fang Hai didn't say anything, but clapped his hands gently. At this time, several people came in carrying an ice coffin.
The woman in the ice coffin had her eyes wide open, her face full of fear, her limbs pressed against the ice coffin as if they were trapped, and a huge cut was made on her stomach. The blood stains all over her body had already solidified.
This scene made everyone present gasp, and several ministers began to discuss it below.
"Who on earth is so heartless as to do such a cruel and brutal thing?"
Fang Hai rushed to the ice coffin with tears in his eyes. Only then did someone recognize the woman in the ice coffin. She was none other than General Qin's daughter, Qin Ya.
"What the hell is going on?"
Even Lord Zhang, who was on edge just now, couldn't help but feel the corner of his mouth twitch for a moment.
Fang Hai's tone was filled with hatred and tears, "It was Ruan Changtian. Just because Concubine Zhen asked to know whether the baby in my wife's belly was a boy or a girl, he ordered people to cut open my wife's belly alive and pull out the already-formed fetus alive."
"My wife died in such a tragic way. I originally wanted to find someone to pray for her soul to be reborn, but she was so full of resentment that she couldn't close her eyes. From that time on, I vowed to make the entire Ruan family buried with my wife and children"!
At this moment, the whole place was silent, and someone noticed the fetus that had almost dried up into a ball in the corner of the coffin.
"Why should we still support such a cruel and tyrannical monarch?"
Fang Hai's eyes were already bloodshot, as if he wanted to strangle all the people who supported Ruan Changtian's faction in front of him.
General Qin also shed tears, and in an instant he seemed to have aged ten years.
"My family has been loyal for generations, and I was nearly forty when I had such a lovely and well-behaved daughter. My Qin family army has been guarding the frontier for the royal family for countless years, just hoping that my son and daughter can live a better life."
"I never thought that before I could send anyone back to check on my little grandson, my daughter had already been killed by that beast."
"Such a person, Lord Zhang, do you think he is worthy of my Qin family's protection?"
