Mrs. Qin, who was standing by, saw this and quickly grabbed Prime Minister Yao's trouser leg and begged, "Master, Xinyun is our only daughter. If anything happens to her, how can I live?"
After saying this, Mrs. Qin burst into tears.
Prime Minister Yao threw the crying Madam Qin to the ground and then scolded her sternly: "From a woman's point of view, if I succeed in seizing the throne today, I will have three thousand beauties in my harem, so why would I care about this one daughter?"
Mrs. Qin obviously did not expect that her husband, who had slept with her in the same bed for more than 20 years, would say such heartless words. She was stunned where she was and could not even utter a word.
Han Xiangxu and others raised their eyebrows and watched the internal struggle in front of them, seemingly not caring about what Prime Minister Yao said about treason.
Prime Minister Yao simply pulled out a sharp knife from the guard beside him and stabbed it into Madam Qin's chest.
Mrs. Qin screamed and died on the spot.
The Yao family was as quiet as a chicken at this moment, unable to utter even a word of rebuttal.
"If you don't join me in rebellion today, the Qin family will be your fate."
Everyone in the Yao family shuddered, then stood tremblingly behind Prime Minister Yao, and were forced to board the pirate ship.
Han Xinyu rolled her eyes at Prime Minister Yao in front of her, "No, you are rebelling?"
"With a bunch of you, the old, the young and the disabled, it would be difficult for you to even walk to the palace, let alone rebellion."
Han Xinyu's words made the people around laugh, "That's right, these few little shrimps, let alone rebellion, will be subdued by the royal guards before they even make any move."
When Prime Minister Yao heard the mockery from the crowd, he angrily pulled out something like a conch from his sleeve.
As soon as he blew a command, the sound of horses neighing came from not far away, and the ground around seemed to tremble slightly.
"You ignorant boy, today I will lead the Yao family army to flatten the imperial city."
Prime Minister Yao opened his arms and laughed, wanting to turn around and hug his Yao army, but he didn't expect that the person who came was Han Shiyu.
For a moment, Prime Minister Yao's smile froze on his lips.
"How could this happen? What happened to the Yao family army that I worked so hard to train?"
Prime Minister Yao looked at Han Shiyu, who was wearing armor in front of him, and looked very crazy.
Han Shiyu immediately ordered his men to throw the people behind him, who were tied up like dumplings, in front of Prime Minister Yao.
"Oh? Prime Minister Yao is referring to these five useless trash."
These five people were the deputy generals carefully trained by Prime Minister Yao. Unexpectedly, they were all killed by Han Shiyu.
"Waste, all waste."
Han Shiyu raised his eyebrows, raised the red tassel spear in his hand and said: "Those who surrender will not be killed, but if anyone insists on rebelling, he will be killed without mercy."
Soon, nearly half of the Yao family members had dropped their weapons and even threw the silver bills they were carrying to the ground.
But nearly half of them still stubbornly stayed by Prime Minister Yao's side.
"Master is right. They are both prime ministers, so why can Han Haiyang become emperor, but my master can't?"
As soon as this person finished speaking, the crowd around him couldn't help but whisper.
Han Xiangwen looked coldly at the ever-changing faces of the people around him, and his heart became even colder.
It seems that the days of peace have lasted too long, and they have forgotten the pain they endured when Ruan Changtian was in power.
Han Xiangwen stood in front of everyone, staring at the guard who had just spoken.
"My Han family is upright and honest. We followed the will of heaven to eliminate the tyrant, avenge the deaths of tens of thousands of innocent children, and work diligently for the stability of the people of the world."
"We ask ourselves if we have done anything to let down the people of the world."
"Now the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and the weather is good. Ask yourself, if it weren't for my father working day and night and diligently handling government affairs, what would the world be like today?"
As soon as Han Xiangwen finished speaking, the crowd of onlookers below finally came to their senses.
As early as when Nguyen Chang Tien was in power, people's lives were miserable. Even those from prominent families were greatly affected and even lived in fear.
If it weren't for the Han family, the entire Jingcheng would probably have become a living hell under Ruan Changtian's rule.
In an instant, everyone changed sides.
At this moment, the person who was mixed in the crowd and trying to stir up trouble again couldn't help but avoid his gaze.
Han Xiangwen continued, "And you, Prime Minister Yao, what did you do?"
"Over the years, you have been corrupt, abused your power, and abused human life. You have even used your power to oppress others. If I hadn't found any solid evidence of your crimes, I would have beheaded you long ago."
After saying that, Han Shiyu ordered the guards behind him to throw all the evidence they had looted from the Yao family in front of everyone.
A curious person picked up the evidence nearby and started to read it. He was shocked to find that the amount of gold and silver embezzled by the prime minister's mansion had reached 10 million taels of silver.
What is even more infuriating is that this money was intended to be used to support emergency relief in a disaster area in the south, but unexpectedly, it all ended up in Prime Minister Yao's pocket.
The man smashed the evidence in his hand hard on Prime Minister Yao's face, and then cursed him as a beast.
"How can someone like you be worthy of being the leader of a country?"
For a moment, Prime Minister Yao knew that he was powerless to turn the situation around and wanted to take the opportunity to slip away, but he didn't expect that Yao Xinyu suddenly lost his grip and pounced on Prime Minister Yao.
Soon, the huge snake body wrapped up Prime Minister Yao and crushed his old bones. Prime Minister Yao let out a wail and died on the spot.
The onlookers on the side all kept their distance from Yao Xinyu. Seeing that Yao Xinyu had a bloody mouth and was about to hurt people, Han Xiangxu took out a piece of talisman paper and flew it quickly towards Yao Xinyu's forehead.
In just one second, Yao Xinyu fell to the ground with a bang, and then flames ignited his body. Under the entanglement of the fire snake, he was completely burned to ashes.
Seeing the people still in shock, Han Xiangwen spoke again, "Today you were instigated by a villain to cause trouble in front of the Marquis' Mansion. I can let it go, but if anyone dares to say anything bad about the Crown Princess in the future, I will make him pay for it."
Everyone hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged Lu Lingling for forgiveness.
At this moment, Lu Lingling broke free from Han Xiangwen's hand and stood in front of everyone. Her face still had an expression of neither servility nor arrogance. "In the future, I will use concrete actions to prove that I am a qualified princess. Even if I come from a humble background, it doesn't matter. We cannot decide our own background, but we can change our future."
"I, Lu Lingling, am upright and have never done anything wrong. The reason I can marry His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is because of the blessing of my good deeds. If after what happened today you continue to listen to the instigation of the treacherous people and destroy the peace and prosperity of our Nanyu, then you will surely suffer the consequences and will not get any good rewards."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and they regretted the bad words they had just said to Lu Lingling.
However, at this moment, three figures were sneaking out a few meters away.
